Chapter 622: Chapter 622: Breaking Through Ninth Grade, Entering the Peak Realm

The dark tunnel was not far, and to the right, upon exiting the tunnel, was a lake.

The emerald waves surged with the wind, while the mountain path on the left wound forward like a meandering snake.

"Why do I feel that something is off?"

Just as she emerged from the cave, Xu Zhi Rou experienced an indescribable sensation.

"I do too, feels like there’s some weight on my shoulders."

Zhao Jiaqi also sensed that something wasn’t right.

Although slight, it was as if a weight pressed down upon their shoulders.

"This is just the beginning, so don’t try to overdo it. Go as far as you can, and when you can’t go any further, that means you’ve reached your limit."

Lin Fan continued forward with a leisurely pace.

"What do you mean? Do you know something?"

Xu Zhi Rou couldn’t hold back her inquiry.

"Have you ever heard of a gravity magnetic field? It’s a method many Martial Cultivators use during strength training. By using special techniques, they artificially burden themselves to train their bodies, similar to how ordinary people use sandbags to add weight?"

Lin Fan smiled and gestured towards the surrounding mountains, "This area must be covered by a gravity magnetic field. With every step forward, your body becomes slightly heavier. If you reach the core area, the weight will increase exponentially. So, there’s no need to rush forward. If you move too brashly, you’ll end up like him."

Following the direction Lin Fan pointed, they saw a man sitting by the roadside, drenched in sweat.

Gasping for air, with a pale face and trembling all over, he was clearly exhausted.

"Impossible, he’s already like this here?"

Zhao Jiaqi knitted her brows, looking at the person before her.

He seemed to be one of the first people who had rushed out.

Considering the distance from the starting point, it was only a few miles, and he had depleted his strength far too quickly.

"As I said, haste makes waste. The faster you rush, the stronger the backlash you will suffer. He must have been sprinting with all his might to get ahead, which would double the effect in the gravity magnetic field," Lin Fan explained with a smile.

"If we were to interpret this gravity magnetic field through scientific understanding, it would mean someone has used abilities beyond science to increase the air density in this zone. Haven’t you also noticed that although you’re tired, the oxygen content you’re breathing in is much richer? The further you go, the more intense the air pressure will become, and your body will feel heavier due to increased air density. The actual change in density is tangible, similar to being submerged in water. The faster you dash, the greater the opposing force you’ll encounter, so in order to go further, you need to move with the flow of the waves. Only then can you truly achieve the ’haste makes waste’ principle."

"Oh... I see!"

With Lin Fan’s explanation, both women simultaneously reached out their hands to feel the unique movement of the wind.

No wonder he was never in a hurry.

The best way to move through water is to go with the flow.

"Doesn’t that mean it will take until dawn to reach our destination?"

Zhao Jiaqi pouted. It was afternoon now, and at this pace, they wouldn’t reach Taixu Temple until the next morning.

"This is the only approach for you to get close, and I’m afraid you won’t be able to go much farther. The pressure increases the further you go, and reaching the middle should already be quite an achievement for you both."

Lin Fan assessed the strength of the two women, concluding that the central area would likely be their limit.

"The middle is not bad. At least I can accompany you for half the journey, which is quite nice," Xu Zhi Rou said, pursing her lips. She was well aware of the great disparity.

To be able to accompany him for a while was already quite good.

"I’m afraid I can’t accompany you any further, as I have an important task to do tonight. So I need to go ahead. Plus, I can lend you a helping hand while I’m at it."

After explaining the principle to the two women, Lin Fan’s task was completed.

He had promised to accompany Yang Linglong the previous night, so he couldn’t afford to walk slowly.

"What are you going to do?"

Zhao Jiaqi looked at Lin Fan with curiosity.

Then, the surrounding area started to stir without any wind, followed by a howling surge of energy.

"In water, you either follow the stream or break the tranquility, right?"

Lin Fan’s eyes lit up with excitement. It had been a long time since he was this serious, as he thrust out a palm into the void.

"Whoosh..."

A whirlwind roared out, tearing along the path ahead.

The surrounding woods instantly resounded with a whooshing noise as countless falling leaves were stirred by this powerful force.

Even the surface of the lake felt such a mighty power,

and in an instant, it rippled endlessly.

It felt as though a deep pool had been breached, churning all the air around it.

"Let’s go!"

Seizing the opportunity, Lin Fan rushed to the forefront.

Zhao Jiaqi and Xu Zhi Rou were also swept forward by the surging airwaves behind them.

The feeling was as if their bodies suddenly became much lighter, and the pushing force at their backs grew stronger and stronger.

The three of them touched the ground with their toes and leaped dozens of feet away.

"I think I know why the experts can tread the air with such ease,"

Zhao Jiaqi had never experienced such a strong airflow before.

That sensation of being lifted by the wind was akin to flying, in the eyes of the average person.

"This... is terrifying!"

Xu Zhi Rou too stared ahead in astonishment.

Just a few leaps, and the three of them had already surpassed the crowd that had set out before them.

Those unlucky ones not only missed the chance to ride the wind,

but were also blown directly to the sides by the terrifying gale.

Some tumbled into ditches, others fell into the water.

In a completely sorry state.

"Sorry... my apologies..."

Zhao Jiaqi hurriedly shouted at them.

Unfortunately, the roaring wind meant they couldn’t hear a thing.

"There’s no need to apologize, just focus on keeping up with Lin Fan. Isn’t the world of Martial Cultivators like this? The strong are revered, the weak are like ants, an unchanging truth since ancient times,"

Xu Zhi Rou pursed her lips, rallying her bodily strength to move forward rapidly.

Even though she had exerted all her power, she was gradually being left behind by Lin Fan.

It wasn’t that Lin Fan wasn’t looking out for them, but the closer they got to the central region, the greater the pressure became.

Acting rashly by bringing them into danger was the truly irrational thing to do.

After all, ultimately, this was nothing more than a disguised assessment.

"Alright, this is as far as you go. It’s time to get serious,"

With three consecutive pushes, Lin Fan had led the two women to the middle position.

This must also be the limit that the two women could reach.

"Serious, you mean you haven’t been serious until now?"

Xu Zhi Rou looked at Lin Fan in disbelief.

Standing here, they could faintly see the Yuxu Temple already.

But the immense pressure made it so the two women couldn’t even stand properly.

It was as if they were bearing a burden of ten thousand pounds on their shoulders, but this only made Lin Fan more excited.

"Of course, otherwise the banquet of the Three Emperors would be too easy,"

As the Dao Qi in his body gradually dissipated,

black flames rapidly enveloped him.

For a moment, a fierce wind howled towards the sky.

The display made the Three Emperors of the Yuxu Temple change their expressions.

They were all too familiar with this power.

"Break through Ninth Grade, enter the Peak Realm!"
