Show the Sea of Stars Our Power!
Lin Hai stood in the hot spring pool, feeling an unprecedented surge of power within his body.
It's a peculiar experience; the more you pay attention, the more you can perceive that every muscle and every bone is brimming with energy ready to be unleashed.
Like a towering wave brewing beneath a calm sea.
I crave a complete release.
Lin Hai needs a sufficiently open and formal stage, a test of his limits without reservation, to truly measure the boundaries of his strength.
This is not only a recognition of one's own strength, but also a necessary declaration.
To demonstrate our unyielding confidence to all those secretly watching, especially to the Interastral Peace Corporation.
Lin Hai specially changed into a well-tailored black tracksuit made of highly elastic fabric to ensure that he would not be restricted in any extreme movements.
Lin Hai and Sparkle drove the Maybach at top speed.
The engine let out a deep, powerful roar, carrying them up to the Upper District.
Before long, the vehicle stopped in front of Kliperburg, right in the center of the magnificent and spacious square.
The setting sun shone softly through the thin clouds, casting its light on the smooth stone pavement.
Citizens moved about peacefully.
But Lin Hai was certain that there was a surveillance network belonging to the Interastral Peace Corporation here.
He was fully aware of this, and even welcomed it.
Concealing one's strength sometimes means being passively attacked, while proactively and controllably displaying one's power is the only way to effectively deter troublemakers and avoid countless problems.
"Are you ready?" Lin Hai turned to Sparkle beside him, his tone calm and even.
Sparkle's lips curled into an excited smile, like a cat about to play a prank.
She skillfully took out a portable live-streaming device that resembled a mobile phone.
"I've been waiting for you to say that."
She fully understood Lin Hai's intentions.
In this sea of stars, strength must be seen and confirmed in order to be transformed into real deterrence and a voice.
"Let's begin." Lin Hai nodded slightly.
With a flick of her finger, Sparkle Huo instantly connected to the live stream, and the video was simultaneously pushed to multiple mainstream online platforms covering the entire starry sky.
She first pointed the camera at herself and made a playful yet slightly provocative face.
"Hi everyone, whether you're bored or busy, good afternoon! Here's a special segment that's exclusively presented by me."
She deliberately dragged out her words, her eyes gleaming.
"I think the gentlemen and ladies in certain departments of Interastral Peace Corporation, especially those in charge of risk assessment, will be particularly interested in this live broadcast."
As expected, the moment the account "Sparkle," which had already been marked as high-risk, started its live stream, it immediately triggered a high-level alert from the Interastral Peace Corporation's security system.
The signal source was quickly locked and highlighted in red, and the data stream surged like a burst dam to the private terminals of Topaz, Aventurine, and others, and even reached the desks of higher-ranking figures.
Countless eyes, filled with doubt, vigilance, scrutiny, or pure curiosity, focused on this unexpected live stream.
A barrage of comments began popping up on the screen, interspersed with exclamation marks and various questions.
Lin Hai remained oblivious to the rapidly increasing number of online users and the scrolling barrage of comments.
He opened the car door and calmly stepped out of the Maybach.
A gentle breeze ruffled the black bangs on his forehead. He stood in the center of the square, first looking up at the boundless blue sky, his gaze seemingly able to penetrate the atmosphere and look directly into the deep universe.
He then turned to the camera in Sparkle's hand and said in a clear, steady tone:
"Now, I will show you my power."
The moment he finished speaking, to everyone's surprise, he didn't take a running start, didn't make any obvious effort to build up his strength, and didn't even reveal a trace of the power of Path Power energy around him.
Lin Hai merely bent his knees slightly, lowered his center of gravity, and then lightly leaped upwards.
This seemingly simple, casual, and almost everyday leap produced a scene that overturned all common sense in physics and ordinary people's understanding!
His body was like a rocket breaking free from Earth's gravity, or a black lightning bolt shooting against the sky.
It rose abruptly from the ground in the purest, most savage, and almost brutal way!
The stone slab beneath their feet shattered with a deafening roar as the sound barrier was broken. The illogical speed and the ever-increasing height spoke of an extreme terror.
Lin Hai soared straight into the sky entirely relying on the power of his own body!
The once bustling crowd in the square seemed to have been put on pause.
Pedestrians stopped in their tracks, vendors forgot to hawk their wares, and everyone stared in astonishment at the rapidly shrinking black dot, mouths agape.
The chat in the live stream was buzzing with activity.
"What's going on? I'm not seeing things, am I?!"
"It just took off like that?"
"This wasn't flying, it was a direct jump, a straight jump!"
"Are you kidding me?! Can you really jump that high by just jumping?"
"???"
Amidst the sea of stars, millions of viewers witnessed this incredible scene.
The company members watching all this through covert surveillance became extremely solemn, some even subconsciously taking a half step back, as if the figure might pierce through the screen.
Lin Hai's figure shrank to a tiny dot in a very short time, as if it were about to touch the dome of the sky.
He hovered briefly in the air, like a soaring eagle surveying the earth.
Below, the magnificent Kliperburg and the entire city of Belobog are depicted in miniature as a sand table model.
Immediately afterwards, Lin Hai began to fall, his speed equally astonishing, yet with an effortless sense of stability, finally landing with a resounding thud.
Dust and smoke filled the air.
It swept across an area of several hundred meters.
Two minutes later, the dust and smoke gradually dissipated, revealing the scene inside.
Lin Hai stood with his hands behind his back, his breathing steady, as if his astonishing leap just moments before was merely a casual stroll.
He glanced at the camera in Sparkle's hand, his gaze sweeping over it calmly.
This leap had nothing to do with skill or external force; it was purely a testament to the pinnacle of physical strength.
This impromptu strength test.
From the very beginning, it achieved the most direct and profound shock effect.
It proclaimed a fact in an almost primitive way:
Some boundaries have been completely broken.
The new rules will be rewritten!
Topaz stood in the snow, falling silent.
It was just a jump, a move so basic it couldn't be more fundamental, yet it produced such an absurd and utterly ridiculous result.
How can a mere physical body contain and unleash such terrifying energy?
Moreover, Lin Hai in the picture even appears relaxed and casual.
A profound sense of bewilderment, coupled with an indescribable sense of dread, gripped Topaz.
Looking through a screen is ultimately like looking through a filter.
Is there some extremely sophisticated fluctuation of Path Power, undetectable even by the company's most advanced equipment, operating in the shadows?
This thought prompted Topaz to set off immediately, arriving at Kliperburg Square in the shortest possible time.
As she strode quickly through the whispering crowd and stepped onto the stone pavement of the square, the impact of the live broadcast was amplified a hundredfold.
The first thing she saw was Lin Hai's tall and straight back, as calm as a pine tree. He stood there calmly, his breathing steady, as if that incredible leap just now was just a collective illusion for everyone.
But Topaz's perception was far beyond that of ordinary people. She suppressed the turmoil in her heart and immediately concentrated all her mental energy to detect the energy of the surrounding environment.
It was completely empty.
Not a single ripple of the Path Power remained.
The experience of being there in person is far more terrifying than watching it on a screen.
Because this cold, hard fact means that what the other party possesses is a primal power that is completely beyond the system of Path, so pure it's chilling, and belongs only to the living being itself...
This is no longer a matter of being powerful; it fundamentally overturns Topaz's cognitive system.
A chill, originating from the absolutely unknown and penetrating to the bone, instantly spread throughout her body.
