Chapter 507: Chapter 226: The Difference Between Clouds and Mud, Jumping Out of the Rules

The bizarre sight gave everyone watching a moment of pause.

"What’s going on? Lin Ye’s speed... it doesn’t seem to have changed at all?"

"Impossible, right? That’s 65 times gravity! How could he possibly be completely unaffected, taking it head-on with just his physical body?"

"Look, his speed... has it actually gotten a little faster?"

Amid the murmurs, the gravity multiplier jumped to 70!

Fine cracks began to appear on the ice surface beneath Xia Lianxue’s feet, and her gliding speed dropped below Mach 2.

For the first time, a strained expression appeared on her cold, aloof face.

As for Lin Ye...

He was completely unaffected.

times gravity!

Fine beads of sweat formed on Xia Lianxue’s temples. Her breathing grew ragged, and her speed fell below the speed of sound.

Ten minutes passed.

The gravity in the field reached 93 times!

CRACK!

The ice path beneath Xia Lianxue’s feet let out a sharp crack as if unable to bear the load, then completely shattered!

She let out a muffled grunt and fell to one knee, supporting herself with a hand on the ground. She gasped for breath, her body trembling slightly from exhaustion.

She could barely maintain her Elementalized body.

The flowing streams of the Wind Element and the glow of the Fire Element around her had dimmed to their absolute minimum.

Clearly, she had reached her limit.

In the observation hall, everyone was left speechless.

They could only stare numbly at the running figure on the screen.

Under such terrifying gravity, he was utterly unaffected!

Li Kai Nian finally couldn’t hold it in any longer.

A knowing smile spread across his face.

’The greater the gravity, the faster he runs? What kind of logic is that? It makes no sense at all!’

"He’s not actually a Celestial Human Realm master disguised as a high school student just to smurf in this exam, is he?"

Some people had even begun to speculate as much.

When one person voiced the thought, they were surprisingly met with agreement from several others.

Otherwise, there was no way to explain how someone in the Gang Condensation Realm could physically withstand this level of gravity.

Finally, after fifteen minutes of the endurance test...

...the gravity multiplier for the entire testing field reached its maximum value: 100 times!

BOOM!!!

An invisible, immense force that felt capable of crushing all of existence descended!

THUD!

Xia Lianxue, who had been struggling to get back up through sheer willpower, felt her legs give out, and she was once again pinned firmly to the ground.

This time, she was forced to both knees.

She gritted her teeth, using the last ounce of her strength to try and straighten her back.

This was her final shred of dignity as a top-tier genius.

’She couldn’t fall.’

’Absolutely not!’

Just then, the cold, automated voice broadcast from above the testing field once more.

[Endurance and Comprehensive Test complete.]

[Field gravity is now decreasing. All examinees, please wait in place.]

As the voice faded, the terrifying gravity pressing down on them began to slowly recede.

Xia Lianxue remained kneeling, drenched in sweat and gasping for air. She didn’t even have the strength to lift a finger.

As the test concluded, the spatial folding effect across the field was deactivated.

The infinitely extending track disappeared.

Suddenly, Xia Lianxue saw a shadow block the light from above.

With great effort, she slowly raised her head.

The next moment, her bloodshot eyes—filled with humiliation and indignation—constricted to pinpricks.

Directly above her.

The figure she had tried so desperately to catch, whose back she couldn’t even glimpse, was now floating silently in mid-air.

Lin Ye looked down, gazing imperiously at the kneeling Xia Lianxue.

His expression was calm.

’Floating... In an environment where the gravity hasn’t fully dissipated... he’s... actually flying?’

Xia Lianxue felt her brain completely shut down.

This also meant that everything she had just been imagining...

...had never happened.

She had imagined Lin Ye collapsed somewhere up ahead, unable to move.

But in reality, that was nothing more than her own wishful thinking.

Just then, the cold, automated voice broadcast from above the field for a third time, shattering the dead silence.

[Speed Burst and Endurance Comprehensive Test results are now posted.]

As the voice faded, the final leaderboards for both tests appeared simultaneously on the large screen in the testing field.

[Speed Burst Test Leaderboard]

[NO. 1: Lin Ye, Max Speed: Mach 112.6, Equivalent Average Speed: Mach 18.6]

[NO. 2: Xia Lianxue, Max Speed: Mach 13.3, Equivalent Average Speed: Mach 13]

[Endurance Comprehensive Test Leaderboard]

[NO. 1: Lin Ye, Time Endured: 15 minutes, 00 seconds]

[Average Speed Under Test Gravity: Mach 18.6]

[NO. 2: Xia Lianxue, Time Endured: 14 minutes, 05 seconds]

[Average Speed Under Test Gravity: 996.3 km/h]

When she saw the results in Lin Ye’s section of the endurance test, Xia Lianxue froze completely.

The last flicker of hope she had been clinging to was extinguished.

’An average speed of Mach 18.6...’

’During the endurance test, throughout the entire process of the gravity ramping up from 10 to 100 times, his average speed actually remained at such a terrifying figure!’

This meant that from start to finish, Lin Ye had run the entire course at the incredible pace he’d set in the previous test!

He hadn’t been affected by the gravity whatsoever!

For him, the fifteen-minute test had been as easy as a walk in the park.

’And what about me?’

’I gave it my all, and in the end, I couldn’t even last for the full duration of the test.’

And now, Xia Lianxue felt as if an insurmountable wall had just slammed into place before her.

The gulf between them was as wide as the heavens and the earth!

...

「In the observation hall.」

When the two leaderboards appeared clearly before everyone, the entire hall first fell into a strange silence, which was then broken by a sudden eruption of intense discussion.
