"Got it, got it!" Lin Yi responded briefly, then focused on his journey.
Lin Yi rarely encountered people "on the same path", it seemed these Experience Students had something about them as well.
The paths in the Gymnasium area, mixed with layers, were like a bamboo mat road laid over a swamp, naturally stepping deep and shallow.
People like Lin Yi saw the swamp and walked on the bamboo mat, occasionally brushing against a bit of mud.
Some Experience Students, after contamination, could remain relatively clear-headed and could muddle through the swamp by feeling the bamboo mat.
But some Experience Students were completely unaware they had stepped into the swamp, thinking they were still walking on the bamboo mat; even Immortals couldn't save them.
Of course, Wei Liang was too lazy to worry about which kind others belonged to, shouting his evasive moves to highlight self-preservation skills.
They managed to bypass a few groups, and strangely enough, these people didn't even seem to notice the three of them.
"It seems like they can't see us?" Lin Yi said in surprise.
Wei Liang said nothing.
"Wei Sang, Liangzi, why aren't you speaking?" Lin Yi asked, puzzled.
Wei Liang: "Aba aba..."
Lin Yi: "..."
"Forget it, if you don't want to talk, let's just head to the Gymnasium."
Suddenly, Wei Shan spoke, "Their perception isn't enough to see us."
"What do you mean?" With Wei Shan speaking up, Lin Yi hurriedly asked in surprise as they moved.
Wei Shan said, "I heard Young Master Tian mention before, it's like a glass bridge. We're in the layer beneath them, we can see them through the glass, but they can't see us, so they can't seek help from us... So we don't use evasive moves, we just step past them."
Wei Liang curled his lips, "Don't say that, what if someone accidentally grabs for help?"
Just as they were speaking, Lin Yi suddenly had his eyes fixed; among the people ahead, he spotted a few familiar figures—the same people from the dormitory floor this morning!
Those five who seemed like members of the authorities!
At this moment, those five looked trapped by the sea breeze blown out by the layers, clustered together, connected with iron chains, maintaining a "Chain Formation" like a merchant caravan moving through a sandstorm in the desert.
From their appearance, they resembled the way Lin Yi looked initially when facing the sea breeze at the Gymnasium, yet today's wind, enhanced by several nights of Grey Mist Invasion, had escalated to another few levels, truly becoming a blade-like storm.
Such a storm, though exerting pressure on Lin Yi and Wei Shan as they move against it, was merely intense wind pressure and incapable of impacting them.
Even the mixed screams and eerie whispers carried within the wind couldn't affect them much.
Having endured several high-intensity Hell-level challenges, Lin Yi felt like eating Ah-San's fiery chili peppers and switching to a mildly-spicy hot pot.
However, while other Experience Students might not see them due to lacking layers, the five officials might be able to.
Lin Yi held back the budding thought of "helping others" and squashed it as his mind echoed Wei Liang's prophetic four-word mantra—"evasive moves".
"Let's make our evasive move..." He whispered.
Wei Liang cackled wickedly, "Great suggestion! We've decided happily! Everyone, laugh!"
Lin Yi's lips twitched hard, "At a time like this, can't you be serious?"
"Aw, let's go, let's go, I'm just lightening the mood!" Wei Liang said.
Lin Yi intended to say something and suddenly understood Wei Liang's "kind intentions"—moving "normally" so others wouldn't realize they've shifted layers!
"Liangzi wants me to pretend not to see them! Smart, really smart!" Lin Yi thought to himself, Liangzi indeed!
So the three knowingly moved along the cobblestone path, not hastily, nor slowly...
As Lin Yi closed the distance between him and the five, the fierce wind gradually began to impact them, causing their clothes to flutter.
"Dear beans... mustn't be exposed!" Lin Yi mumbled softly.
"Just act like there's no wind!" Wei Liang's mouth inflated by the wind, yet still stubbornly pretended nothing was wrong.
Only Wei Shan held his lips, his huge frame like a reef in the storm waves, steadfastly moving against the current.
As they got closer to the leader, Lin Yi sneakily glanced at them from behind; he didn't need to extend his perceptual senses to know they were truly in trouble.
The cobblestone path under their feet had twisted and deformed, and along with this deformation, extraordinary material, much like mud, seeped out from the gaps, covering their feet and even climbing up their calves.
This dirt formed by extraordinary material posed little threat, merely increased the burden while moving for these five, as long as their stamina held, they could drag it to the Gymnasium.
Once they reached the Gymnasium, it could easily be cleared away.
Thus, Lin Yi decided to ignore them.
Beyond that, the leader's group was still struggling against the wind towards the Gym.
When Lin Yi and the others bypassed them, the wind-focused Su Yao suddenly got distracted, her keen eye catching Lin Yi's movement.
