Chapter 498: Chapter 224: Terrifying Performance, Complete Domination

Lin Ye’s fist landed squarely on the enormous induction wall.

However, the expected, earth-shattering boom never came.

In the viewing hall, everyone’s eyes widened as they stared intently at the screen.

The wall didn’t even show the slightest ripple, let alone any visible waves.

It was as if Lin Ye’s fist had struck a ball of cotton, or perhaps, nothing at all.

Utterly silent.

"Hm?"

In the back row, Li Kai Nian frowned slightly, a look of confusion on his face.

This was completely different from the scene he had imagined.

In the hall, the crowd that had just been holding its breath in anticipation was now stunned into silence.

’What’s going on? Was it all just for show?’

’Impossible. His fist is right against it, so how can there be no reaction at all?’

’All bark and no bite?’

The moment these thoughts surfaced, everyone immediately dismissed them.

’What a joke!’

’How could a monster with a Qi and Blood index over 40,000 and a life index of 260,000 possibly be weak?’

Just as the entire hall was submerged in a strange, confused atmosphere, Yi Jiugao, who had been silent all this time, leaned forward slightly and uttered two words.

"Here it comes!"

The instant his voice fell.

CRACK—

A cracking sound, so faint it was almost inaudible, came from the screen.

Then, with Lin Ye’s fist as the epicenter, spiderweb-like cracks began to appear without warning on the induction wall—a wall said to be indestructible, capable of withstanding a blow from someone in the Celestial Human Realm!

The cracks spread at a terrifying speed, covering the entire wall in the blink of an eye!

The next moment.

BOOM!!!

Under everyone’s horrified gazes, the massive wall, along with its intricate internal structure, shattered into countless pieces of stone!

The central target, in particular, exploded into fine dust and instantly dissipated!

The wall was gone!

Inside the testing room, all the sensors simultaneously blared with shrill alarms!

Red lights flashed frantically!

But that wasn’t all!

Only then did a terrifying shockwave, one that seemed capable of destroying everything, finally erupt from the point in front of Lin Ye’s fist!

RUMBLE—

A violent tremor, originating from Lin Ye’s testing chamber, spread wildly throughout the interior of the Dubhe Cube!

In the other testing rooms, the floors and walls began to shake violently, and the bewildered examinees looked around in panic.

Even in the viewing hall, everyone clearly felt a powerful tremor as the chandeliers overhead swayed violently, as if an earthquake had struck!

On the big screen, with the wall gone, another identical, pure-white testing room appeared in its place.

Inside, an examinee was slumped on the floor, his eyes wide and his face deathly pale.

He had clearly been scared out of his wits by the sudden event.

In the viewing hall, after a moment of shock, a bone-chilling cold shot up from the soles of everyone’s feet straight to the crowns of their heads!

Terrifying!

Too fucking terrifying!

’Weren’t we told that the testing grounds of the Dubhe Cube could withstand any attack below the Celestial Human Realm?!’

’So what the hell is this?’

’The target was pulverized, the wall couldn’t take the pressure and was punched straight through, and even the neighboring testing room was affected!’

’What level of destructive power is this?!’

Since its construction, nothing this absurd had ever happened in the Dubhe Cube, a world-class comprehensive testing center that represented the pinnacle of Great Xia’s technological achievements!

Zhu Mingyi turned his head to look at Yi Jiugao beside him.

He saw a similar, undisguisable look of gravity and shock in the eyes of the Head of the Longyin Branch, a man who was usually unfailingly calm.

"Mr. Yi, this is...?"

Yi Jiugao’s gaze remained locked on the screen as he slowly began to voice his analysis.

"There were no ripples or fluctuations at first because he compressed and focused all of his power onto a single, ultimate point."

"Whether it’s Xiao Lingchen or Xia Lianxue, their power, while formidable, is ultimately dispersed. That’s why it gets guided and neutralized by the force-dissipating formations and dispersion structures within the wall."

"But Lin Ye..."

"With this punch, he somehow managed to bypass all the defensive structures in an inconceivable way, infusing the purest, most concentrated power directly into the target’s core!"

"When that power completely erupted, the structures of the target and the wall reached their breaking point in an instant, and then... we saw what happened."

He took a deep breath and delivered his final conclusion.

"The might of this punch hasn’t truly reached the level of the Celestial Human Realm, but its destructive power is absolutely no less than a full-force strike from any expert at Late-Stage Divine Realm Great Perfection!"

...

「In the testing room.」

Lin Ye stared at the huge hole in front of his fist and the guy on the other side who was scared stiff, momentarily at a loss for what to do.

He had only wanted to stack all his buffs to see what kind of score a punch at his absolute limit would achieve.

But he never expected...

’How could the nation’s top testing facility be as fragile as paper?’

’Did I... go a little overboard?’

"S-Sorry..."

"Sorry."

Two apologies rang out almost simultaneously.

The first was an instinctive reaction from the examinee slumped on the floor, his mind blank, on the verge of tears as he stared at Lin Ye and his fist.

The second was from Lin Ye, an unconscious apology born from the embarrassment of realizing he had likely disrupted the other person’s exam.
