Chapter 40

Lin Qiye scrambled and stumbled, unable to stay still. He forced himself to steady himself, pushed off with his feet, and continued running forward at high speed.

And the spot where he had originally fallen was suddenly smashed down by another person!

If Lin Qiye had stayed where he was, he would definitely be injured by now and would most likely need to call for help!

For the first time, Lin Qiye clearly realized the gap between himself and true geniuses.

That's not a difference in strength, but a gap in the skills and experience of using strength!

Even with 10% of his genetic potential and 100 points of physical strength, the power he unleashes is scattered.

However, the opponent can condense their power into a rope, and even detonate it, increasing its power by more than double!

By this time, Yan Feilong's figure had already disappeared into the distance.

In his view, this unorthodox method had already been resolved and was no longer worth paying attention to.

Not far from Yan Feilong, Su Qingying, who was also far ahead, shook her head.

……

"It's not... over yet!"

Lin Qiye gritted his teeth and swallowed back the metallic taste that rose in his throat.

He pushed off with both legs and accelerated again!

In a flash, a thought crossed his mind—the potion given by Bai Zhenyun!

I never expected that we would actually need it so soon!

Without the slightest hesitation, he swiftly pulled a syringe from his tactical pouch at his waist with his other hand, which was still barely functional.

Without even looking, he plunged the knife into his throbbing right arm!

【Blood Activator No. 5】!

As the cool liquid was injected, a strange warm current instantly spread out, like parched land receiving timely rain.

The tearing pain was suppressed and reduced at a speed visible to the naked eye!

The pain in my arms subsided immediately!

Although I still feel sore and numb, at least I've regained my mobility!

Just then, a female examinee with a fierce look rushed up to him. Seeing that he was injured, a greedy glint flashed in her eyes.

They clearly wanted to take advantage of his illness and eliminate him completely!

With one less person, her ranking can move up one spot!

A cold glint flashed in Lin Qiye's eyes, showing no sign of weakness.

He quickly unscrewed another bottle of nutrient solution and gulped it down his throat.

Then, with a flick of his wrist, he threw the empty bottle like a hidden weapon at the female examinee's face!

The female examinee subconsciously thought it was some kind of vicious drug or hidden weapon, her expression changed, and she suddenly stopped and dodged to the side!

This is the moment!

Lin Qiye didn't even look at the result. He exerted force with his feet, and his body once again transformed into a sharp arrow, instantly widening the distance again!

He ignored the furious curses coming from behind him and continued to charge forward madly!

That last move put him hundreds of meters ahead of Lei Qianjun, Su Qingying, and the other top-tier group of people!

As he watched the figures receding into the distance, the resentment and anger in his heart transformed into his most primal motivation.

He stopped trying to catch up with Yan Feilong, who was at the front, and instead set his sights on the other candidates who were also giving it their all.

Like a wounded lone wolf, filled with rage, he began a final, frantic chase and evasion!

He is indeed a lone wolf.

Because he discovered that these top-tier candidates,

Whether it's Lei Qianjun's group of true martial artists, or the quasi-martial artists with 8% or 9% genetic potential around Lin Qiye now,

They almost always moved forward in small groups of three or five.

They come from the same school, even the same class, and have a natural understanding with each other, subconsciously covering for one another and advancing and retreating together.

Only Lin Qiye stood out, all alone, appearing so conspicuous.

He is well aware of his current strengths and weaknesses.

The advantage lies in the genuine body of a martial artist!

His strength, stamina, and recovery ability far surpass those of the quasi-martial artists around him!

The disadvantage is that they have absolutely no fighting skills!

Aside from practicing the popular radio calisthenics, regular high school students have absolutely no chance to come into contact with real martial arts!

His fighting style relies solely on his most primal instincts!

dodge!

A small, thin examinee suddenly attacked from the side, but Lin Qiye used his legs to lift himself up and narrowly avoided the attack!

Surpass!

He swept over the examinee's head without stopping and continued charging forward!

dodge!

Another gust of wind came, and he twisted his body with all his might, letting the wind graz his back, bringing a burning pain!

If you get hit, drink some medicine and use the medicine bottle as a hidden weapon to scare the opponent and create space!

He was once again struck by the aftershock of a force, staggered, and without hesitation, he received another injection while simultaneously smashing an empty energy drink bottle at his pursuer!

Surpass!

dodge!

Surpass it again!

Each of his advances was accompanied by thrilling dodges and intense physical exertion.

But he was like a tireless beast, his eyes growing brighter and his will becoming more resolute.

With each person he passed, the pain in his arms seemed to lessen a little, and the fire in his heart burned even brighter!

Nevertheless, in the endless dark passage, the fiery red figure—the female examiner Deng Hong—remained the only source of light and direction in his vision.

Finally, after traveling through the tunnel for who knows how long, perhaps several hours, a dazzling light appeared ahead!

end!

Lin Qiye's eyes lit up instantly!

He could see that Lei Qianjun, Su Qingying, Yan Feilong and others had easily crossed the finish line and were standing there with calm expressions, as if the extreme sprint just now was nothing more than a warm-up for them.

Following them, candidates continued to cross the finish line.

Lin Qiye took a deep breath, squeezing out the last bit of strength from his body, and the excruciating pain in his arms seemed to have gone numb.

He roared, abandoning all unnecessary dodging, and his entire body, like a cannonball, turned into a blurry afterimage.

At the last moment, facing the encirclement of seven or eight candidates in front of him, he charged forward like a bull!

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

He withstood several attacks and fought his way through in the most savage and brutal way, risking injury again, and charged through the light barrier!

The moment my feet touched the finish line platform, a huge wave of exhaustion washed over me.

He was panting heavily, sweat pouring down his face, and his arms were still trembling uncontrollably.

[Candidate Lin Qiye, ranked 498th.]

Congratulations on completing the first level! You have earned 95 bonus points.

A cold, electronic notification sound rang in my ears.

498th place, 95 points.

Lin Qiye's tense nerves finally relaxed, and he plopped down on the ground, but couldn't help but grin.

Although the process was messy, the result was not bad!

The people he had just overtaken with his "suicide charge" were now standing behind the finish line, staring at Lin Qiye with livid faces.

If it weren't for this madman's sudden appearance, they might have made it into the top 500!

In such an important exam, a difference of just one point can determine whether they will enter a heaven or a hell in the future!

"Idiot!" One of them gave Lin Qiye the middle finger, his eyes filled with resentment and malice.
