During this process, he silently counted the steps he had taken: "One hundred and ninety, one hundred and ninety-one, one hundred and ninety-three..." Each step was filled with strength and persistence. When he counted to two hundred, he felt the gravity pressure increase again, doubling to two hundred.

Lin Ziyu took a deep breath and rested for a moment. He adjusted his breathing and prepared for the next challenge. After a short rest, he stood up again and continued to move towards a higher goal.

Lin Ziyu moved forward steadily, his clothes soaked with sweat, but his eyes were firm and persistent. He knew that only by persevering to the end could he achieve his goal.

When Lin Ziyu reached the 400th step, he felt the gravity increase again, doubling from the 200th step, now at 400. He paused to adjust, then glanced back. The crowd behind him had dwindled, and some had given up. Song Baobao was now 30 steps behind him.

When Song Baobao saw Lin Ziyu's tenacity, he couldn't help but admire him. He also made up his mind to climb up, and soon he also reached the 400th step.

"Baby Song, come on." Lin Ziyu said, "I'm leaving first." After that, he climbed up again.

Song Baobao glanced at him and was too tired to speak.

"Five hundred and ninety-seven, five hundred and ninety-eight, five hundred and ninety-nine, six hundred." Lin Ziyu counted silently in his mind. At the six hundredth step, the gravity suddenly increased to eight hundred. Lin Ziyu was almost crushed. He stood at the six hundredth step, channeling his spiritual energy to adapt to the increased gravity. After Lin Ziyu rested, he looked back and saw that Song Baobao was already a hundred steps behind him.

After taking a deep breath, Lin Ziyu climbed up the mountain again, but this time his speed was obviously much slower than before. However, he still maintained a steady pace and climbed up step by step.

"Eight hundred." Lin Ziyu sat on the ground, and the gravity on his body was suppressed to one thousand six hundred.

At this point, there were few people on the steps ahead, and even fewer behind. Many people had chosen to give up midway. Just then, Lin Ziyu heard a pleasant and familiar voice: "There are still forty minutes left. Not bad!" But the tone was a little disappointed.

Lin Ziyu looked up and saw Long Yan standing not far away, a smile on his face and a look of encouragement and expectation in his eyes. He couldn't help but feel surprised and delighted, and hurriedly asked, "Long Yan, why are you here?"

Long Yan smiled slightly, looked at him, and said softly, "What do you think?" Without waiting for Lin Ziyu to answer, he quickly turned around and quickened his pace to climb up the mountain.

Lin Ziyu suddenly realized that Long Yan had been waiting for him here. Otherwise, with his strength, he should have reached the top of the mountain long ago.

Lin Ziyu rested for a while, and after about five minutes, he felt his strength had recovered. He slowly stood up and set out on his journey again. Although his legs were still heavy, his heart was full of strength.

He told himself that he would reach the summit no matter what. Each step seemed to grow more difficult, but he gritted his teeth and persevered. This was not only a challenge to his own limits, but also a lure of beauty. He looked forward to spending time with the beautiful Longyan.

"Nine hundred and ninety-nine, one thousand. Phew..."

When he took his last step onto the thousandth step, Lin Ziyu felt as if he was about to collapse, and he sat down on the ground with a thud.

At the same time, the terrifying gravitational pressure disappeared without a trace in an instant, and the spiritual power that had become somewhat slow due to the heavy pressure began to operate frantically at this moment, and the spiritual power that had been consumed before was also recovering rapidly.

With the rapid recovery of his spiritual power, Lin Ziyu's body gradually recovered from his weak state, but now he still needs some time to adapt to this change.

Lin Ziyu felt the surge of spiritual energy within him, and a smile played upon his lips. He struggled to his feet, stretched his muscles, and found that his fatigue had eased considerably. He looked up at the instructor standing nearby, recording the results, feeling a surge of accomplishment. However, as he scanned his surroundings, he saw no sign of Long Yan, and a flicker of disappointment crossed his eyes.

"Name." The teacher's voice was calm.

"Lin Ziyu." Lin Ziyu replied with some breathlessness.

The teacher wrote down Lin Ziyu's name and asked him to wait aside.

Lin Ziyu went to the side and waited. At this time, the person in charge of the next round of assessment said, "Ten people in a group will enter the next round of testing. Is anyone ready?"

Just as Lin Ziyu was considering whether to enter the next level of the test, suddenly, a breeze blew by, bringing Long Yan's low and magnetic voice: "Lin Ziyu."

Lin Ziyu heard the familiar voice and turned his head sharply. He saw Long Yan standing quietly beside the huge rock. The sunlight fell on him, making him look like a god. The corners of his mouth curled up slightly, outlining a faint smile, as if the whole world had become brighter because of his presence.

"You..." Lin Ziyu was speechless for a moment, not knowing what to say. He happened to be unable to see this place from where he was just now, so he thought Long Yan had already left. At this moment, looking at Long Yan in front of him, an inexplicable emotion surged in his heart, making him feel a little overwhelmed.

Long Yan took long steps and slowly walked to Lin Ziyu. He stared at him deeply and said softly, "Together."

Lin Ziyu felt as if his heart had been struck by something, and his entire body became light and airy. He looked at Long Yan's handsome face, feeling his breath and body temperature, as if time had stopped. He nodded involuntarily, smiling foolishly and responding, "Okay."

In this way, Lin Ziyu followed Long Yan to the test site of the third level. It was a quiet courtyard, filled with the faint fragrance of flowers and grass.

In the middle of the courtyard sat a white-haired old man, his eyes deep and sharp, as if he could see through everything. He sat there quietly, like an ancient statue, exuding a mysterious aura.

Long Yan and Lin Ziyu walked up to the old man. They were both curious about this mysterious old man.

Long Yan was the first to ask, "Excuse me, who are you...?" His tone was filled with a hint of respect and doubt.

The old man smiled slightly, looked at them deeply and said, "I am the examiner of this level. You can pass as long as you answer my questions." His voice was calm and gentle, but it contained an irresistible majesty.
