Ye Jin focused for a moment, and a huge flood of information poured into his mind.

Wind direction: northeast.

Wind force: level 2.

Humidity: 90%.

Temperature: 28 degrees Celsius.

Air pressure: 1000 hPa.

His eyes were exceptionally sharp, and every cell in his body was extraordinarily active.

The neurons in his brain in particular were performing precise calculations like a sophisticated computer.

They could calculate down to the tiniest detail.

"Beginning positioning, preparing to adjust."

"Beginning angle adjustment."

"Preparing to turn, lean the body to the right."

At that moment, his mind was running through tens of thousands of simulations.

He had no choice but to be cautious.

Though he wanted to challenge his limits and accomplish a feat no one had ever achieved before,

that did not mean he was out to kill himself.

He wanted to live, to pass through the gap between the two rocks in the most dazzling, invincible fashion.

Even if there were no spectators at this moment!

He still had to do it as well, as precisely, and as perfectly as possible.

Now he put everything else out of his mind, driving away every distracting thought.

The only things in his mind now were those two rocks, his ultimate target. Everything else gradually blurred and vanished from his mind.

Heaven and earth seemed to become a sheet of white.

The Twin Rocks became a black dot, and he was a fiery red arrow of God.

At that moment, everything suddenly became very quiet.

There was no wind, no mountains or seas, no city. Everything had vanished, as if it were the very first moment of creation.

At this very moment, he was going faster and faster.

Though there was only a gentle breeze, the immense resistance and speed pushed his body into overload. He was in agony, as though countless gusts of wind and rain were beating against him.

He did everything he could to keep his body balanced.

He adjusted his direction with extraordinary precision.

Width: less than two meters.

With his arms spread, he was nearly 1.8 meters wide.

If he flew through horizontally, the danger would increase geometrically. Once he lost control, there would very likely be no chance of survival, and no one would come to save him.

This was his loneliest battle, his alone.

No one would stand beside him and fight at his side.

The only person he could rely on was himself.

This was... a battle of life and death.

Just before he reached it, Ye Jin made one final, difficult adjustment.

Angle offset by 60 degrees.

Flying sideways.

The hundreds of nanocameras controlled by the production team were already in position on all sides, filming 360 degrees without a blind spot.

Brian's expression suddenly changed, as though he had discovered something extraordinary.

"We've noticed that Nine Domains Nation contestant Ye Jin adjusted his angle. Since completing the adjustment, his speed has been gradually increasing."

"According to the speedometer's precise measurements, his speed has reached 215 square meters per hour."

"No, it's even higher. It's increased again, past 220."

"That speed has already matched Kelis's speed when he flew through the karst cave on Tianmen Mountain."

Brian began trembling all over with excitement.

His voice was so excited that he was becoming somewhat incoherent.

Viewers all over the world kept their eyes fixed on the screen, not even daring to make a sound for fear of disturbing Ye Jin's performance.

Their hearts clenched and pounded wildly.

The first-person view sent their blood surging, a rush of heat shooting straight to the tops of their heads as their whole bodies began to grow hot.

The high-speed racing earlier had been incredibly exciting too.

But that had been on the ground, after all.

This was a view from the sky.

Soaring through the heavens.

The most natural release of human nature.

They wished they could become the protagonist themselves and experience that ambition and romance spanning thousands of years.

Ye Jin was extraordinarily calm and composed now.

Between heaven and earth, he was the only one.

Charge through, fly across.

That was all he desired.

Countless thunderclaps exploded beside his ears, deafening him.

Three...

Two...

One...

He counted down in his mind!

His eyes were incredibly sharp, filled with a killing intent that could break through anything.

If a criminal had been in front of him now, a look into those eyes would probably have scared them unconscious.

"Through!!!!"

He roared in his mind.

In a thousandth of an instant,

he was like a meteor streaking across the night sky.

With an incomparable momentum, he glided down from the mountain and finally passed through the Twin Rocks at an astonishing speed.

A current surged within him, his whole body trembled and tingled, and an immense sense of satisfaction welled up inside him.

All the viewers who witnessed it roared aloud.

"Holy crap, that was so 666!"

"Fuck, fuck!"

"God Ye, you're fucking awesome! That slick move was incredible!"

"God Ye, please accept my knees. From now on, I'm God Ye's simp! Damn, that was fucking out of this world."

Brian looked at the final figure calculated by the machine, his mouth hanging open wide enough to fit an egg.

Full of disbelief, he said, "Ladies and gentlemen, I've just received the latest news. Nine Domains Nation contestant Ye Jin's final speed as he passed through the Twin Rocks has broken the record set by Kelis, reaching a staggering 230 kilometers per hour. Let's cheer for him!"

A tremendous wave of cheering suddenly erupted across Nine Domains Nation.

It was on par with the national soccer team making it into the World Cup.

It was such a source of pride.

He had shown his face before the whole world, taken first place, and kept setting and breaking records.

It was enough to prove the excellence of the people of Nine Domains Nation.

The impact on the nation's influence was enormous.

Kelis posted a tweet saying he was delighted that Ye Jin had broken his record and warmly welcomed Ye Jin to join his team and challenge the world together.

The few people at the underground casino who had bet on Ye Jin to win in hopes of snagging a bargain made a fortune.

But there were always a few discordant voices mixed in.

"What's the rush? It's not over yet."

"So what if he made it through the Twin Rocks? There's still the low-altitude parachute jump. I don't believe his luck will be that good there too."

Those comments naturally drew a flood of rebuttals.

"You people are just saying the grapes are sour because you can't reach them. Is it so hard to admit someone else is outstanding?"

"My God Ye is invincible under heaven. Say whatever you want, you'll still be on your knees singing 'Conquer.'"

"A low-altitude parachute jump is nothing. My God Ye can do it in minutes."

It all seemed to have taken a long time.

In reality, only a few short minutes had passed.

In the time it took to drink a cup of tea, it felt as though half a year had passed.

After passing through the Twin Rocks, Ye Jin finally saw the city as it truly was.

He kept himself balanced.

After passing through that hellish level of difficulty, controlling himself now came as naturally as a fish in water, and he could do it almost without the slightest error.

Facing the buildings ahead, he made a slight adjustment to his angle and passed through the towering buildings.

Then he began weaving through the city.

His altitude kept dropping.

150 meters.

120 meters.

100 meters.

80 meters.

The viewers had yet to recover, and watching his slick moves, they nearly bit off their tongues.

"He's almost at the ground. Is he still not opening his parachute?"

"The closer he gets to the ground, the harder it gets."

"He's already passed the best point to deploy his parachute. He absolutely can't drop the ball at the last step."

"Hahaha, below 100 meters is a dangerous altitude, and below 50 meters is a death altitude. Even if he doesn't die, he'll be badly injured."

"Couldn't he just open his parachute properly? Why show off? He's screwed up now, hasn't he? Hahaha!"

At that moment, his altitude had already dropped to 50 meters.

But Ye Jin still made no move to open his parachute.

Everyone had covered their eyes, too afraid to watch, terrified that he would fall and turn into a pile of meat paste.

His altitude dropped to... 40 meters.

Then... 30 meters.

An expression finally appeared on Ye Jin's face, and he gave a pull with his hand.

The parachute opened!

A huge parachute billowed open 30 meters above the city ground.

His downward speed met the parachute, and the air currents churned relentlessly.

The fierce resistance of the air currents was a tremendous test for the human body.

After a sudden jolt,

he was met with continuous impacts.

Finally, he stabilized.

Ye Jin... slowly touched down.

Low-altitude death jump!!!

Success!!!

Unrivaled in all the world!!!
