Chapter 95: First Star Cave

"Teacher has finally opened the Seven Star Cave World."

"When was the last time Teacher opened the Seven Star Cave World?"

"I remember it was three hundred years ago."

Twelve figures chatted with each other, all appearing very leisurely.

Usually, the Senior Brothers and Junior Brothers all had their own matters to attend to, making it difficult for them to gather together like this.

"Quite a few good saplings have appeared in this test; otherwise, Teacher wouldn't have opened the Seven Star Cave World."

"It is said that there is a member of the Three-Eyed Race. Great Master Senior Brother, Second Senior Brother, Senior Brother, if you aren't interested, I'lh reserve this Three-Eyed Race member in advance."

"Hehehe, the Three-Eyed Race holds a special status in the Human Alliance. Taking in a Three-Eyed Race Disciple is equivalent to befriending other high-order Three-Eyed Race members. I must also compete for this."

The twelve figures spoke one after another.

The Three-Eyed Race was small in number, but their Aptitude was extremely powerful.

Currently in Human Civilization, the number of the Three-Eyed Race did not exceed one hundred thousand.

And they were scattered across various parts of the territory.

Therefore.

Even without a direct Bloodline connection.

Between members of the Three-Eyed Race, there was also a certain peculiar sense of closeness.

Just like meeting a fellow townsman in a foreign place.

With the Aptitude of the Three-Eyed Race, it was very easy to give birth to high-order Evolvers.

Taking in a Three-Eyed Race Disciple was equivalent to establishing a connection with these high-order Evolvers.

In the future, no matter what was done, everything could be discussed.

Of course, even without this layer of relationship.

The twelve figures would also be very happy to take them under their tutelage.

After all, the Aptitude was right there.

Under careful cultivation, a Three-Eyed Race member.

Crossing into the sixth rank would not be difficult.

"I am not interested in the Three-Eyed Race, but that Yin Ling belongs to me."

At this time, the first figure located above slowly spoke.

Yin Ling was that Silver-haired woman, evaluated by Red Kun Star Lord as having good spatial talent, one of the three Red Marks, and the existence ranked first among the more than one million Evolvers this time.

"Since the Great Master Senior Brother has spoken, she belongs to the Great Master Senior Brother."

"This Yin Ling possesses quite a bit of spatial talent, and only the Great Master Senior Brother has the ability to Cultivate her."

"Not bad, not bad."

After the remaining eleven figures finished speaking.

They then began to review other Evolvers again.

Among the more than one million Evolvers, only the three Red Marks, along with a few Golden Marks, were worth them opening their mouths to compete for.

As for the remaining Evolvers, let them break through to the Seventh Star Cave first before talking.

"Is this the First Star Cave?"

Lin Yuan began to observe his surroundings.

According to Fang Qing's intelligence, the content of the test in the First Star Cave was most likely related to the Physical Body.

Of course, it wasn't absolute, but if it wasn't the Physical Body, it would be the Soul, or mental consciousness, Comprehension Ability, and so on.

Swish, swish, swish.

Just as Lin Yuan was observing.

Other Evolvers were also teleported over from the white jade square.

Many Evolvers looked around with nervous expressions.

The nearby scenery was not complicated, resembling a wasteland, with a Black Race Track tens of miles wide in the middle.

Once all the Evolvers had arrived.

That towering figure appeared once more.

"The test of the First Star Cave is very simple: walk to the end of this Black Race Track."

The towering figure raised a hand and pointed at the Black Race Track, "Within one month, as long as you walk to the end, you can enter the Second Star Cave."

After speaking, the towering figure disappeared.

The scene immediately plunged into a huge uproar.

It was not that the test was too difficult.

Rather, it was too simple.

The Black Race Track was tens of miles wide and at most a hundred miles long.

This was equivalent to walking a distance of a hundred miles in a month's time.

Even an ordinary citizen could finish walking a hundred miles in at most a day or two.

Not to mention that the lowest-ranked individuals present were third-order Evolvers.

"Reach the end?"

Lin Yuan did not act rashly, instead standing in place to observe.

He believed that the test wouldn't be that simple. In past Seven Stars Cave tests, the elimination rate of the First Star Cave was frighteningly high.

"Let the others go and try first."

Lin Yuan was not in a rush; he could stay in each Star Cave for a month.

Even if he dragged it out here for a month, as long as he entered the Second Star Cave at the very last moment, it wouldn't have much of an impact.

"There should be people who can't hold back their composure."

Lin Yuan's gaze swept across the surroundings.

In just a short while, several Silver Mark Evolvers became somewhat eager to move.

Among the more than one million Evolvers, the most numerous were Silver Mark Evolvers. Red Mark Evolvers and Golden Mark Evolvers added together barely exceeded one hundred.

Precisely because of this, during this Seven Stars Cave test, the Silver Mark Evolvers received the greatest stimulation.

Just imagine, every single Silver Mark Evolver was among the top ten existences on their respective planets, high and mighty, courted by numerous factions.

Only upon arriving at the Seven Star Cave World did they discover that there were over a million existences just like them.

The disparity between before and after caused the mindset of a small fraction of Silver Mark Evolvers to change.

"This one would like to see just what is so extraordinary about this Seven Stars Cave test."

A robust man resembling a wild man walked out with large strides.

This robust man exuded a third-order aura. The moment he stepped forward, he was watched by the over one million Evolvers.

"Damn, the pressure is really high."

Cold sweat broke out on the robust man's forehead. One must know that these more than one million gazes came from third-order Evolvers and even fourth-order Evolvers.

Boom.

Under everyone's gaze.

This robust man stepped onto the Black Race Track.

"Hm?"

The robust man's expression changed slightly.

He took another step forward.

Took two steps.

Took five steps.

After taking about a hundred meters or so.

This robust man finally stopped.

"It's gravity."

"As long as one enters the range of the Black Race Track, one will be in a gravity zone."

"The farther one walks, the greater the gravity. At my current distance, the gravity I face is roughly five to seven times that of a normal planet."

The robust man spoke directly.

He wasn't lying, because other Evolvers would know as soon as they tried it slightly.

"Gravity zone?"

"Is this testing the Physical Body?"

"Hehehe, what a coincidence; what I excel at the most is the Physical Body."

Countless Evolvers whispered in discussion. They looked toward the hundred-mile Black Race Track with varying gazes.

"In just a hundred meters, the gravity has reached five to seven times. In the area close to the end, wouldn't the gravity reach several thousand times?"

A Golden Mark Evolver wore a thoughtful expression.

On the hundred-mile Black Race Track, the closer to the end, the greater the gravity.

"The gravity in the end area is at least three thousand times. Just this point alone can eliminate seventy to eighty percent of the Evolvers."

Another Golden Mark Evolver glanced at the eager Silver Mark Evolvers around and thought silently in his heart.

For third-order Evolvers, dozens or hundreds of times of gravity were not much of a difficulty.

Once the number exceeded a thousand times, however, it would be different.

The scope of gravity's effect reached the internal organs and went as deep as the cellular level.

If it were only strength on the surface of the Physical Body or toughness of the skin, it would be basically useless against gravity.

"So it's a gravity test."

Lin Yuan's expression was thoughtful.

This was indeed a good way to test the Physical Body.

Compared to simply testing strength and endurance, the gravity test went from the outside inward, eliminating many Evolvers who took extreme paths with their Physical Body.

"However, the Evolver who has walked the farthest right now is not even a thousand meters. I am not in a rush for now; let's see the degree of gravity further back."

Just as Lin Yuan was pondering, over a thousand Evolvers had already taken the initiative to walk onto the Black Race Track.

Dozens of them had already walked to the position of seven to eight hundred meters.

And through communication, 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 walked onto the Black Race Track.

Seeing this, Lin Yuan did not find any unexpected issues. Confirming that the Black Race Track only had gravity, he likewise walked up.

Ten meters.

A hundred meters.

A thousand meters.

Ten thousand meters.

Unwittingly.

Lin Yuan had already walked past ten thousand meters.

Roughly equivalent to one-fifth of the length of the hundred-mile race track.

Which was the twenty-mile area.

"Finally, there is some feeling."

Lin Yuan thought to himself.

Although the cultivation system of the Divine Weapon World was malformed, its refinement of the Physical Body was indeed quite good—from skin refinement to Blood Refinement, internal organ refinement to bone refinement.

It could be said that the inside and outside of the Physical Body had been forged all over again.

Therefore, the gravity zone in the Black Race Track did not cause much pressure on Lin Yuan.

Only after passing the first ten thousand meters did Lin Yuan become slightly more solemn.

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

A thousand times gravity was enough to instantly crush ordinary citizens into dust.

Ordinary first-order and second-order Evolvers could not live for even a few seconds under this kind of gravitational environment.

Yet in Lin Yuan's eyes, it was nothing. Up until now, he had completely relied on his Physical Body to endure it hard, without utilizing any means.

For example, unfolding the Taiji Domain.

Or secret arts that increased the strength of the Physical Body in a short time, and so on.

At the twenty-thousand-meter mark of the Black Race Track.

"I was one of the few Evolvers who stepped onto the race track at the very beginning, walking a small fraction of the Black Race Track's length in just a few hours."

"This speed should rank in the top few dozens, right?"

Cui Sita took a deep breath, stopping his steps intending to rest for a bit.

As a fourth-order Evolver under a hundred years old, Cui Sita's strength was undisputed as number one on their planet.

Whether it was this arena tournament or past arena tournaments, fourth-order Evolvers very rarely appeared.

Medium life planets like Canglan Star had simply never produced one in hundreds of thousands of years.

Originally, Cui Sita was quite confident. He came from a certain large Family, knew about Red Kun Star Lord's test, and also knew about the Seven Stars Cave test.

Only in the end, when dragged into the Seven Star Cave World, Cui Sita was actually bestowed with a Silver Mark?

The same 'Silver Mark' as those third-order Evolvers?

This made Cui Sita unable to accept it. He didn't dare to luxury-wish for the highest Red Mark, but at least give him a Golden Mark?

As far as Cui Sita knew, in this Seven Stars Cave test, all Evolvers were within the range of the third and fourth orders.

That was to say, those Golden Marks and Red Marks all belonged to fourth-order Evolvers just like him, Cui Sita.

Being of the same fourth order, on what grounds were they Golden Marks and Red Marks, while he, Cui Sita, was a Silver Mark?

"The starting point cannot represent anything. I, Cui Sita, will definitely pass through the seven Star Caves and join the Chi Kun lineage."

Cui Sita steadied his mind, struggling to step forward with his right foot, intending to continue moving ahead.

Just at this moment.

Cui Sita heard slight footsteps.

"Someone has chased up from behind?"

Cui Sita turned his head to look.

He only saw a young man walking over leisurely and unhurriedly with brisk steps.

If Cui Sita hadn't been certain that the surrounding gravity already exceeded two thousand times, he would have almost thought this young man was strolling in his own Family garden.

"How is he… how is he so relaxed?"

Cui Sita found it hard to believe.

Fairly speaking, he, Cui Sita, already felt strained. Although two thousand times gravity was not yet his limit, he was far from being able to do it so easily.

"It's a Golden Mark."

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

"Is this the Gold-Patterned Examinee recognized by the Star Lord?"

Cui Sita thought rapidly in his heart.

Not discussing other aspects, this young man's performance meant that in terms of the Physical Body, he could crush him, Cui Sita.

"Too terrifying; the speed hasn't changed from beginning to end."

Cui Sita let out a soft breath.

Just as Cui Sita was observing Lin Yuan.

Lin Yuan also turned his head to glance at Cui Sita.

"Greetings, Golden Mark."

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

There was no other way.

The test of the First Star Cave was to reach the Black Race Track.

That was to say, it only required the Evolver to walk across the Black Race Track.

There was no restriction prohibiting them from attacking each other.

Right now, most of Cui Sita's strength was used to resist gravity.

With the relaxed posture Lin Yuan displayed, his strength probably hadn't been affected much.

Under such circumstances, if he, Cui Sita, dared to show disrespect and cause Lin Yuan to be displeased, he could completely sweep him out of the game effortlessly.

"This is the strength of a Gold-Patterned Examinee."

Cui Sita sighed, and the unwillingness in his heart dissipated by more than half.

"Quite polite."

Lin Yuan merely glanced at Cui Sita and continued advancing forward.

Along the way, Lin Yuan continuously overtook one Evolver after another. When other Evolvers saw him, expressions of surprise and panic basically appeared on all of them, fearing that Lin Yuan would take the opportunity to attack them.

Time passed.

Soon.

Lin Yuan entered the forty-thousand-meter zone.

The entire Black Race Track had already been four-fifths walked through.

The gravity in this zone had already reached four thousand times.

"Still able to bear it."

Lin Yuan's speed remained unchanged. Until now, he still hadn't mobilized the Taiji Field, but purely relied on his Physical Body to resist gravity.

Because Fang Qing had once said that everything within the Seven Stars Cave test would fall into the eyes of Red Kun Star Lord's twelve Disciples.

Since the First Star Cave tested the Physical Body, Lin Yuan would use his Physical Body to resist.

Doing this wouldn't necessarily raise his evaluation, but at the very least it wouldn't drop.

In the forty-thousand-meter zone, hardly anyone could be seen anymore.

"Hm?"

"There is someone ahead."

After walking for a while, Lin Yuan vaguely saw a figure walking in the mist ahead.

At this moment, this figure was obviously somewhat uncomfortable, walking a step and stopping a step, seeming to be adapting.

"Hm?"

Lin Yuan stepped forward and glanced at the other party.

This was a woman whose hair presented a green color, and her entire person exuded a certain ethereal aura.

In addition, she was also a Gold-Patterned Examinee.

"Hello."

Seeing Lin Yuan looking at her, a trace of nervous expression clearly surfaced on the green-haired woman's face.

The gravity exceeding four thousand times hadn't forced out all her trump cards, but Lin Yuan's condition was clearly better than hers. If he suddenly attacked, it would probably be very troublesome.

In other places, if one couldn't defeat an opponent, one could still run.

But inside the Black Race Track, with thousands of times of gravity pressing down, the speed was reduced to the extreme.

"Hello."

Lin Yuan nodded.

He continued maintaining his speed as he walked toward the end.

Seeing this scene, the green-haired woman visibly breathed a sigh of relief.

Several hours later.

Lin Yuan successfully finished walking the hundred-mile race track and arrived at the Second Star Cave.

"Hm?"

Lin Yuan looked toward the surroundings.

Two updates totaling eight thousand words completed.
