Chapter 3931 Divine Intervention
“What’s going on? Why has the pressure suddenly disappeared?”
“It’s also not hot anymore. So relaxing.”
“Has the assessment become invalid?”
Everyone suddenly felt the oppressive atmosphere lift, and they were all taken aback.
Even Carla was taken aback, expressing her disbelief. “How can this be? Could the test be broken?”
“Carla, regardless, we should seize the opportunity while there’s no pressure and hurry on. Otherwise, we’ll fall too far behind.” Jared hurriedly urged.
“Right, let’s pick up the pace.” Carla gave a nod.
Once the pressure was gone, everyone’s speed increased remarkably. It didn’t take long before they caught up with Adan’s group.
“Adan, look quickly. How did those guys manage to catch up to us?” Someone spotted Jared’s group and quickly alerted Adan.
When Adan turned his head, he saw Jared’s group rapidly closing in.
Moreover, the speed of Jared’s group was impressive and was about to overtake Adan’s group at any moment.
“D*mn, what’s going on here?” Adan was also somewhat taken aback.
Just then, Jared’s group had caught up. Carla, with a smirk, looked at Adan and said, “Why are you so slow, like a tortoise? Weren’t you quite pleased with yourself just a moment ago?”
“Hahaha, just like a turtle.”
“You’re too slow, and yet you boast so much.”
The other cultivators also sneered at Adan’s group.
“Carla, you guys are cheating. How come the pressure here seems to have no effect on you?” Adan noticed that Jared’s group was moving quickly and effortlessly.
It was clear that they were not under any pressure at all.
“Bullsh*t. Clearly, this assessment-” Before Carla could finish her sentence, Jared interjected from the side.
Jared cautioned, “Carla, the test hasn’t been deactivated. Look at Adan’s group. Even though they’re moving quickly, it’s clear that they’re expending a significant amount of spiritual energy.”
Upon careful observation, Carla indeed saw that Adan’s group was flushed, their foreheads glistening with sweat.
Although their speed was impressive, it was only due to their immense strength and ability to resist pressure. It wasn’t because the test had failed. The pressure was still there.
Carla was taken aback, thankful that she hadn’t spoken out.
“Adan, you accuse us of cheating just because you can’t beat us. Have you no shame? Earlier, you guys surpass us. Can I accuse you of cheating, then?” Carla rebutted Adan, simultaneously sending a message to everyone, urging them to show signs of distress.
Otherwise, if her group traversed too easily, it would arouse suspicion.
If an investigation were to be launched, she feared she might lose her qualification for the evaluation.
Upon hearing Carla’s message, everyone gritted their teeth and grimaced, their foreheads slick with sweat. They appeared utterly distressed.
However, their pace was anything but slow.
Watching everyone’s antics, Jared couldn’t help but want to laugh. These guys are really good actors.
Everyone seemed to be struggling, but they quickly surpassed Adan’s group. That left Adan quite frustrated.
“Adan, what’s really going on? When did these guys become so formidable?”
“Exactly, the pressure is intensifying, yet they can still move so quickly.”
“I can’t believe what I’m seeing.”
Everyone on Adan’s side was confused.
Even though they were clearly stronger, Carla’s group was surprisingly faster than them.
“Perhaps the stronger we are, the greater the pressure. Let’s hurry and pursue them.” Adan himself wasn’t quite sure what was going on and could only hazard random guesses.
By that point, Jared’s group was long gone, completely out of sight. There was no way for Adan’s group to catch up.
“Haha, it was satisfying to see the awkward expressions on Adan’s group earlier.”
“If the test isn’t broken, then why aren’t we feeling any pressure?”
“It’s truly peculiar. Could it be divine intervention?”
At that moment, everyone remembered. There was nothing wrong with the test, so why couldn’t they feel the pressure anymore?
They didn’t know and even speculated that the heavens had lent them a hand.
