On July 30th, Chen Chuan returned to the test site. This time, he would abandon all technique and rely purely on speed to handle everything below.
He had realized after his last two attempts that as long as he was fast enough and his reflexes were sharp enough, he could avoid most of the obstacles below.
He Xiaoxing and Chang Ba stood in the distance, waiting to see his performance.
Chen Chuan took a slow breath, pushed off the tips of his toes, and leaped into the chasm. After a soft splash, a surge of water propelled him forward like an arrow loosed from a bow.
Thanks to over ten days of training and the boost from the Furnace Breathing Method, his reflexes were sharper and his speed was greater than before.
He darted rapidly through the network of chasms, touching one marker after another. When the Hour was up, he hadn't kept count, but he knew he had surpassed his previous limit of twelve.
