With that order, Lin Ye’s testing process finally returned to normal.
"Striking power test results have been recorded. Please proceed to the next area."
A cold, electronic voice rang out.
Lin Ye strode into the next room.
This was a special gravity room filled with precision sensors. A professional-grade speed-testing treadmill sat in the center.
"Current test: 100-ter explosive speed test."
Lin Ye stepped onto the machine, his feet planting on the cold tal belt.
He regulated his breathing, bringing his body into the perfect state for an explosive burst.
"Test... begin!"
The mont the prompt sounded, Lin Ye’s body was like a powerful bow drawn taut and released in an instant!
On the screen, Lin Ye’s figure instantly turned into a blurry afterimage!
The cadence of his legs and the swing of his arms beca a frenetic, almost inhuman blur.
On the second floor, a flicker of interest crossed Li Kai Nian’s eyes.
It wasn’t because of Lin Ye’s speed.
It was because of Lin Ye’s reaction ti!
For top-tier geniuses, while raw speed in a 100-ter test is certainly important, their reaction ti at the start is also a key factor in pulling away from the pack.
A slow reaction ti naturally leads to a slower overall ti.
React too quickly, however, and it would be ruled a false start, rendering the score invalid.
But Lin Ye... his start was perfectly synchronized with the prompt, with a margin of error of less than a millisecond!
This level of control over timing was sothing typically only seen in Martial Artists with imnse Spiritual Power.
BEEP!
Barely a second after everyone had processed Lin Ye’s starting motion, a crisp beep announced the end of the test.
It was over before anyone could even react!
On the screen, the final result appeared.
[Test: 100-ter Explosive Speed]
[Final Ti: 2.21 seconds!]
Chen ng instinctively glanced at the split-screen, at the na of the original first-place holder for this test.
Xue Wangshu, 3.19 seconds.
A difference of nearly a full second!
In the 100-ter dash, a tenth of a second is already a huge gulf. A full-second gap...
That wasn’t even a contest in the sa dinsion!
In the sa room, without a mont’s rest, the second endurance test began imdiately after.
[Test: 10km Endurance Run under Gravity]
[Initial Gravity: 2x]
[Rules: Gravity increases by 0.5x for every 1km completed.]
For a Martial Artist of the Vein Opening Realm, a standard ten-kiloter run was no challenge at all.
Therefore, the core of this test was an endurance run under heavy load, and a gravity-based one at that, starting at 2x gravity!
As the test began, Lin Ye held nothing back, imdiately erupting into his maximum speed.
His legs moved so fast on the treadmill that they were little more than a blur!
Lin Ye was practically running this ten-kiloter endurance test at his previous 100-ter sprint speed!
BEEP!
Only twenty-so seconds passed before the first prompt sounded.
[Gravity Increased. Current: 2.5x]
However, on the screen, Lin Ye’s speed was not affected at all!
Still frenetic! Still ferocious!
BEEP!
[Gravity Increased. Current: 3.0x]
BEEP!
[Gravity Increased. Current: 3.5x]
The beeps grew more and more frequent!
Everyone was dumbfounded.
Because not only had Lin Ye’s speed failed to decrease with the increasing gravity, it was actually, faintly, accelerating!
What they didn’t know was that every ti the gravity increased, Lin Ye mobilized more of his Qi and Blood, pouring it into his legs to forcibly counteract the mounting pressure!
This mock exam determined whether he could earn a spot in the Qiming General Star Training Camp.
He couldn’t afford to hold anything back.
’What I want is a thorough, absolute, and undeniable victory!’
More than three minutes passed.
The gravity in the room had reached a terrifying 6.5x!
Under such imnse pressure, even tal would start to slightly deform, yet Lin Ye was still running frantically!
Large beads of sweat covered his forehead, and his breathing had grown heavy.
But his legs, like a tireless perpetual motion machine, still maintained that terrifying frequency!
Only the last few hundred ters were left!
He didn’t slow down!
BEEP!
[Test Complete!]
The terrifying gravity receded like a tide.
Lin Ye instantly felt his body lighten. Leaning on the treadmill’s handrails, he panted slightly, regulating the roiling Qi and Blood within him.
On the screen, the final ti froze in place.
[Final Ti: 10km completed, 3 minutes 37.65 seconds!]
This ti, no one needed a reminder.
Everyone’s gaze turned to the leaderboard on the split-screen.
Xue Wangshu’s ti: 10km completed, 6 minutes and 2 seconds.
Another massive gap!
A terrifying gap of nearly two and a half minutes!
With that, all the foundational martial arts physical fitness tests were complete.
On the split-screen leaderboard, Lin Ye’s na hung high at the top of every event.
And the huge data gulf between him and the second place was like an insurmountable chasm.
The faculty from Celestial Star Martial Arts Academy and all the other prestigious schools...
...all felt as if they had been fiercely slapped in the face.
The pride and self-satisfaction on their faces had long since vanished, leaving only numbness and bewildernt.
The hope they had been clinging to was finally crushed.
...
"All foundational martial arts assessnt tests are complete. Please follow the instructions and leave the testing area!"
Lin Ye stepped off the treadmill and followed the arrow indicators that appeared on the ground, walking out of the gravity room.
He followed an upward-sloping corridor, eventually arriving in a massive indoor chamber.
The room’s layout was very much like the computer labs in his university from his past life, with rows of testing stations neatly arranged.
Hanging from the ceiling was an oddly shaped tal sphere covered with countless mirrored surfaces.
