Chapter 112: Chapter 6: The First Star Cave (Request for Subscription)_2
“A gravity area?”

“This test is for the physical body?”

“Heh, what a coincidence, my specialty is the physical body.”

…

Countless evolvers murmured softly, their eyes on the hundred-mile black racetrack, each with a different expression.

…

“Merely a hundred meters in, and the gravity has reached five to seven times? Near the finish line, won’t the gravity reach thousands of times?”

A Gold Pattern Evolver said thoughtfully.

The closer to the finish line of the hundred-mile black racetrack, the stronger the gravity.

…

“The gravity in the finishing area is at least three thousand times. Just this fact alone can eliminate seventy to eighty percent of the evolvers…”

Another Gold Pattern Evolver glanced at the eager Silver Pattern Evolvers around him and thought silently.

For a Third-Rank Evolver, tens or hundreds of times the gravity poses no challenge.

But once the number exceeds a thousand, it changes things.

The range of gravity’s effect extends to the organs and even to the cellular level.

If one’s physical body is only superficially strong or if their skin is just tough, facing such gravity is practically useless.

…

“So it’s a test of gravity…”

Lin Yuan looked contemplative.

This indeed is an excellent way to test the physical body.

Compared to merely testing for strength or endurance, the challenge of gravity works from the outside in, eliminating many evolvers who rely solely on extreme physical strength.

“However, the furthest anyone has gone so far is less than a kilometer. I’m not in a hurry yet, let’s see how the gravity intensifies further along.”

While Lin Yuan was pondering, over a thousand evolvers had already voluntarily entered the black racetrack.

Dozens of them had reached positions between seven and eight hundred meters.

And through communication, it was learned that in the seven to eight hundred meter area, the gravity had already reached dozens of times.

Half an hour later.

Ninety percent of the evolvers had stepped onto the black racetrack.

Seeing this, Lin Yuan, finding nothing unexpected and confirming that the black racetrack was only influenced by gravity, also stepped onto it.

Ten meters.

A hundred meters.

A thousand meters.

Ten thousand meters.

Unbeknownst to him.

Lin Yuan had walked ten thousand meters.

This was approximately one-fifth the length of the hundred-mile racetrack.

Or in other words, twenty-mile area.

“I’m finally starting to feel it.”

Lin Yuan thought to himself.

The cultivation system of the Divine Arms World, though peculiar, did a fine job in tempering the physical body, from Skin Refinement to Blood Refining, Organ Refinement to Bone Refinement.

One could say it had forged every part of the physical body.

Thus, the gravity zone in the black racetrack did not exert much pressure on Lin Yuan.

It was only after the first ten thousand meters that Lin Yuan grew slightly more solemn.

And the gravity in that first ten thousand meter area had already exceeded a thousand times.

A thousand times gravity, enough to instantly crush an ordinary citizen into dust.

Ordinary First and Second Layer Evolvers would not last a few seconds under such gravity.

To Lin Yuan, however, this was nothing; up to this moment, he had relied entirely on his corporal body, without resorting to any techniques.

Like deploying the Taiji Domain.

Or secret techniques to temporarily enhance the strength of his physical body, etc.

…

At the twenty thousand meter mark of the black racetrack.

“I was one of the first evolvers to step onto the racetrack, having covered nearly half the length of the black path in several hours.”

“This pace should rank me among the top few dozen, right?”

Cui Sita took a deep breath, stopped, and decided to rest for a bit.

As a Fourth-Rank Evolver under a hundred years old, Cui Sita’s strength was unquestionably the strongest on his planet.

In both this and all past competitive bouts, there had been very few Fourth-Rank Evolvers.

On a Middle-Grade Life Planet like Canglan Star, no Fourth-Rank had appeared in tens of thousands of years.

Initially, Cui Sita was quite confident; he came from a prominent family, familiar with the tests of the Chikun Star Lord and the Seven Star Cave tests.

But in the end, when he was drawn into the Seven Star Cave World, Cui Sita was unexpectedly given a Silver Pattern?

The same “Silver Pattern” as those Third-Rank Evolvers?

This was unacceptable to Cui Sita; he did not dare to hope for the highest Crimson Pattern, but at least a Gold Pattern should have been within reach?

From what Cui Sita knew, this time in the Seven Star Cave tests, all evolvers were within the Third and Fourth Rank.

That is to say, those Gold and Crimson Patterns, like him, Cui Sita, were Fourth-Rank Evolvers.

Being of the same rank, why should they be Gold or Crimson Patterns while he, Cui Sita, had only a Silver Pattern?

“The starting point does not account for everything. I, Cui Sita, will surely pass the seven caves and join the Red Kun Lineage.”

Cui Sita steadied himself and struggled to move his right foot, intending to continue forward.

Just then.

Cui Sita heard faint footsteps.

“Is someone coming after us?”

Cui Sita turned around to look.

He saw a young man approaching with light and steady steps, as if he were walking toward this side with no hurry at all.

If it weren’t for Cui Sita’s certainty about the surrounding gravity having exceeded two thousand times, he almost thought the young man was strolling in his own garden.

“How can he, how can he do it so effortlessly?”

Cui Sita couldn’t believe it.

To be fair, Cui Sita himself was already finding it tough, although two thousand times gravity wasn’t his limit, he was far from being able to do it with ease.

“It’s a Gold Pattern.”

Cui Sita observed a touch of gold on the side of the young man.

“Is this the Golden Pattern Challenger designated by the Star Lord?”

Cui Sita quickly thought to himself.

Not to mention other aspects, just this young man’s performance meant he could completely crush Cui Sita in terms of physical prowess.

“It’s terrifying, his speed has not changed from beginning to end.”

Cui Sita took a deep breath.

Just as Cui Sita was observing Lin Yuan.

Lin Yuan also turned his head and glanced at Cui Sita.

“I’ve seen Lord Gold-Pattern.”

Cui Sita immediately turned around, disregarding the terrifying pressure around him, and bowed respectfully to Lin Yuan.

There was no choice.

The challenge of the first Seven Star Cave was to reach the black racetrack.

That is to say, Evolvers just needed to walk over the black racetrack.

There was no rule saying they couldn’t attack each other.

Now, Cui Sita used most of his strength to resist gravity.

With Lin Yuan maintaining an easy posture, his strength probably wasn’t affected much.

Under such circumstances, if Cui Sita dared to show disrespect, causing Lin Yuan to feel displeased, he could easily knock him out of the competition.

“This is the power of a Golden Pattern Challenger.”

Cui Sita sighed, and much of his dissatisfaction dissipated.

…

“Quite polite.”

Lin Yuan just glanced at Cui Sita and continued moving towards the front.

Along the way, Lin Yuan kept overtaking Evolvers, who mostly showed surprise and fear upon seeing him, fearing that Lin Yuan might suddenly attack them.

Time passed.

Soon.

Lin Yuan entered the forty thousand meters zone.

The entire black racetrack, five-fourths of it had already been walked.

The gravity in this area had reached four thousand times.

“Still bearable.”

Lin Yuan’s speed remained unchanged, and up to now, he had not used the Taiji Field, relying solely on his body to resist gravity.

Because Fang Qing once said everything in the Seven Star Cave challenge would be noticed by the twelve disciples of the Chikun Star Lord.

Since the first Seven Star Cave challenge was a test of physical body, Lin Yuan would use his body to resist.

This way, not only could it potentially enhance his evaluations, but at least it wouldn’t decrease them.

In the forty thousand meters zone, hardly anyone could be seen.

“Hm?”

“There’s someone ahead.”

Lin Yuan walked a bit further and vaguely saw through the mist ahead, a figure walking, stopping with each step, seemingly adapting.

“Hm?”

Lin Yuan walked up and glanced at the other person.

This was a woman with green hair, radiating some kind of ethereal aura.

Moreover, she was also a Golden Pattern Challenger.

“Hello.”

Seeing Lin Yuan looking at her, the green-haired woman visibly tensed.

The gravity exceeding four thousand times hadn’t forced her to reveal all her cards, but Lin Yuan’s condition was clearly better than hers, and it would be troublesome if he suddenly attacked.

In other places, you could still run if you couldn’t beat them.

But on the black racetrack, under the pressure of thousands of times of gravity, one’s speed was reduced to the limit.

“Hello.”

Lin Yuan nodded.

He continued maintaining his pace towards the finish line.

Seeing this, the green-haired woman obviously sighed in relief.

…

Several hours later.

Lin Yuan smoothly finished the hundred-mile racetrack and arrived at the second Seven Star Cave.

“Hm?”

Lin Yuan looked around.
