Douluo Continent: Dark Demon God Biao, inheriting the position of an evil god

Chapter 40: A meteoric rise, utterly captivating the academy's intellect.
Whispers spread through the crowd as curious, questioning, and curious glances turned toward the group of students in Class 1 in the center of the playground who looked miserable.

This trend even spread outside the college.

Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen, the siblings who were preparing to go to Mingde Hall, were among them.

"Brother, did you hear that? It seems like Dai Yuntian is in trouble!"

Meng Hongchen tugged at her brother's sleeve, her jewel-like eyes sparkling with curiosity and a hint of excitement: "Shall we go take a look too?"

Xiao Hongchen snorted coldly, his handsome face full of disdain: "Those with connections are still just those with connections. They sneak in by relying on the protection of their elders, and they will eventually be exposed."

“Teacher Xuan did the right thing! Let’s go, let’s go and see how this ‘genius’ who got in by relying on the senior’s influence will handle things in front of everyone.”

His tone was clearly gloating, as he had already foreseen the scene where Dai Yuntian was about to make a fool of himself.

……

Center of the playground.

Xuan Ziwen stood expressionless at the front of the line, next to a middle-aged male teacher with a serious expression.

With a glance from Xuan Ziwen.

The middle-aged teacher gave a low shout, and the spirit rings beneath his feet lit up.

An invisible gravitational pressure spread out like a tide, precisely enveloping all the students in Class One.

"Ugh!"

Many students were caught off guard, their bodies slumped under the sudden increase in gravity, their legs trembled, and their faces showed pain.

Despite being in the gravitational field, Dai Yuntian's heart stirred.

Although this was a trial and assessment specifically targeting him.

But it has to be said.

This pressure is applied evenly to every muscle, bone, and even internal organ in the body.

It is far more sophisticated and efficient than the simple weight-bearing physical fitness tests at Shrek Academy.

Simulating a hypergravity environment through soul skills is indeed a more comprehensive test of physical fitness and soul power control.

Xuan Ziwen's cold gaze swept over the faces that were flushed or pale from the effort, finally settling on Dai Yuntian, who was still standing straight in the crowd.

Bear it, keep bearing it, let's see how long you can endure it.

Xuan Ziwen continued speaking, his voice not loud, but clearly reaching everyone's ears:

"Now, I can give some people one last chance."

He paused deliberately, allowing the suffocating feeling from gravity to fully develop.

“That special student who got into Class One through connections and breaking the rules, as long as you step forward now, admit that you got in through connections, and apply to be transferred out of Class One.”

Xuan Ziwen pointed to the edge of the playground, his tone carrying a condescending "tolerance":
"I can stop this assessment immediately, sparing other students who follow the rules from unnecessary torment."

"otherwise--"

Xuan Ziwen's tone suddenly changed, becoming cold and ruthless: "Everyone will run endlessly in this gravity field until that troublemaker can't withstand the pressure and gets kicked out of Class 1!"

These words were highly inflammatory, like igniting a powder keg.

The students, who were already struggling to survive under the force of gravity, instantly turned their angry and pleading gazes toward Dai Yuntian.

The youngest and most eye-catching figure on the field!
"Hey kid, is that you? Please, just admit it, don't drag everyone else into this!"

"You got in through connections, why should we be punished along with you?"

"Step forward! You're a man, don't you have any sense of responsibility?!"

Complaints, pleas, and accusations surged toward Dai Yuntian like a tidal wave.

Xuan Ziwen's move was very subtle; he wanted to use the pressure of the group to make Dai Yuntian provoke the anger of the class and put him on the opposite side of the whole class.

Finally, he was forced to apply for a transfer to another class.

He turned a deaf ear to the complaints and accusations from those around him.

He gazed calmly at the track ahead, banishing all distracting thoughts.

Instead of wasting words arguing, it's better to crush all doubts with absolute strength.

Actions speak louder than words.

From the stands, Meng Hongchen watched the figure that remained upright even in the gravity field and couldn't help but tug at her brother's sleeve: "Brother, look at Dai Yuntian, he doesn't seem nervous at all. Could it be... that he's really that strong?"

Xiao Hongchen crossed his arms, a habitual arrogant sneer playing on his lips:
"Dream, you're still too naive. I've seen this kind of pretense of composure many times. It's just putting on a brave face and being too proud to admit it."

"Under Teacher Chen's triple gravity soul skill, he'll probably barely be able to stand. Let's see how long he can last!"

Meng Hongchen blinked and muttered softly, "But, he seems to be better looking than you..."

"Dream! Can't you focus on something normal?"

Xiao Hongchen was speechless, feeling helpless about her infatuated younger sister.

For a long time, no one stepped forward.

Xuan Ziwen's patience had finally worn thin. He said in a deep voice, "Everyone, to your positions." "Ready, go!"

As soon as the command was given, Dai Yuntian's figure shot out like an arrow.

Despite being suppressed by three times the gravity, he surprisingly overtook the leader in an instant.

This sudden burst of power silenced the entire audience, followed by gasps of surprise.

"What?! How could he be so fast?!"

"You can still sprint in Teacher Chen's gravity field?!"

This impressive performance immediately caught the attention of a student in the class who was physically fit.

This student is named Ma Rulong. He is an outstanding member of the Ma family and his physical fitness is among the best in this year's freshmen.

"That's interesting, kid. Taking the lead isn't so easy."

Ma Rulong let out a low shout, exerted force with his feet, and rushed forward, trying to overtake Dai Yuntian.

However, to his astonishment, no matter how fast he accelerated, the figure in front of him not only did not get closer, but instead the distance between them grew further and further.

"How can it be?!"

Ma Rulong was horrified. He gritted his teeth and unleashed his full power again, pushing his speed to the limit, but he could only watch helplessly as that figure disappeared into the distance.

In a moment of desperation, Ma Rulong's soul power surged: "Spirit Ape, Possess Me!"

A phantom image of a spirit ape flashed behind him, and his physical attributes instantly increased dramatically, his speed surging once again.

But Dai Yuntian, who was ahead, seemed to have eyes in the back of his head. The moment his martial spirit was activated, his speed also increased.

They still maintain an absolute lead!

Less than a minute.

Ma Rulong had been left far behind, and even Dai Yuntian's figure had become blurry.

He could only watch in despair as the distance continued to widen.

One lap, two laps, three laps, four laps...

Dai Yuntian is not only incredibly fast, but his steps are also steady and powerful, and his breathing is even. Even under three times the gravity, he runs as if he is walking on flat ground.

The lone figure on the playground drew gasps of amazement from the onlookers.

High in the stands, Meng Hongchen excitedly tugged at her brother's sleeve, her emerald-green eyes wide with adoration.

"Brother! Did you see that? My God, how... how can he be so fast? Even under three times the gravity of Teacher Chen, he can still run like that? That's... that's amazing!"

Her face flushed with excitement, and she shook Xiao Hongchen's arm incoherently:

"Hehe, I told you he was different! You just said he was putting on an act, but this isn't just putting on an act, he's clearly hiding his true abilities!"

In stark contrast to her sister's excitement, Xiao Hongchen remained deathly silent.

His eyes, which always held an air of arrogance, were now filled with frustration.

why?
This is totally unreasonable!
How high can a six-year-old child's soul power level be?
How could someone be so physically strong?

To exhibit such endurance and speed under three times the gravity is something that not only peers, but even many twelve or thirteen-year-old Soul Master trainees who excel in physical fitness might not be able to do.

He Xiao Hongchen was hailed as a genius since childhood, and he was far ahead of his peers in the field of soul tools. Although his physical strength was not the strongest, he believed that it far surpassed that of ordinary soul tool masters.

But compared to that figure in the arena right now... his slight advantage is simply a joke!
"Brother? Why aren't you saying anything?"

Meng Hongchen finally noticed her brother's unusually pale face and tightly pursed lips.

Xiao Hongchen's expression turned serious: "Meng, don't make a sound, I'm thinking."

He was thinking that the other person had such strong physical abilities at the age of six.

Could it be because Dai Yuntian's spirit is his original form?
In addition, taking drugs too early and overdrawing one's potential?

At the same moment,

With a serious expression, Teacher Chen, who had just unleashed his gravity-based soul skill, turned to Xuan Ziwen and asked with displeasure, "Teacher Xuan, is this the nepotism case you mentioned that needs to be dealt with?"

"Such a gifted student, if you were to force him to leave, neither of us could bear the consequences. You must give me an explanation!"

Offending a future prodigy is a major taboo for the academy's teachers.

Xuan Ziwen's face was flushed red with anger. Looking at the figure that was far ahead of him on the track, he felt a mix of emotions.

He has always been stubborn, but he is not incapable of distinguishing right from wrong.

But facts speak louder than words; he really misjudged this time.

He took a deep breath and solemnly said to Teacher Chen, "Teacher Chen, I'm sorry, it was my misjudgment that almost led to a big mistake. After the assessment, I will personally apologize to Dai Yuntian and will never implicate you."

Seeing his sincere attitude, Teacher Chen's expression softened slightly, and she turned her gaze back to Dai Yuntian on the track, unable to help but exclaim in admiration:

"Teacher Xuan, if I may be so bold, this student's physical abilities alone are probably no less than those genius students in the second year. Your class has really struck gold this year!"

Xuan Ziwen remained silent, gazing at Dai Yuntian's figure with a complex expression, and for the first time, he began to waver in his adherence to the "rules".
