178: Others are resisting, Han Lie is completely submerged
At the same time,
all the viewers across the universe, who were watching Han Lie's first-person perspective in real-time, were stunned speechless.
“Holy crap!!”
“Lie Shen really knows how to enjoy himself, damn it!!”
“Now I'm starting to believe those rumors humans spread before; Han Lie seems like an unlearned good-for-nothing!!”
“Investigate thoroughly, it doesn't look like an act!!!”
Inside the universe,
everyone was flitting between various live streams, gaining a general impression of each Heavenly Genius's enjoyment process.
And they all came to the same conclusion:
When it comes to enjoyment, it still has to be Han Lie, damn it!!
Take Demon War, for example, a Heavenly Genius who also garnered a lot of attention; they constantly observed him. Currently, he is in a large room with only two or three maids accompanying him, dressed in a style that evokes an 'auntie' vibe.
The latter are gently telling him stories.
“Damn it, this is called enjoyment?”
Everyone felt nothing after watching; compared to Han Lie, this was like the difference between a primary school student and an old pervert. Let's not even talk about visual sensations; just consider the number of slaves each person has—at least a few thousand.
And you only use a few?
What's that enough for?
Then look at Zhou Li; that's even more outrageous. He's on the ground with a dozen servants, playing marbles. No... huh!?
Didn't he play as a child?
Only those of his clan know that when Zhou Li began learning spellcraft as a child, he displayed strong rebellious tendencies, especially when studying formations. He always wanted to play marbles inside them.
But it wasn't allowed.
Good heavens,
Is he trying to make up for his childhood deficiencies by any means possible now?
Coincidentally,
everyone was enjoying themselves.
But after looking around, if you want to talk about who knows how to enjoy themselves the most, who knows how to order people around the most, and who cares the least about whether others are watching from outside,
It still has to be Han Lie of the Human Race.
...................
The directors commented at this time:
“It seems Han Lie knows how to enjoy himself very much, but I don't think this is a good thing. If you observe the other Heavenly Geniuses closely, although they have passively chosen the most enjoyable way for themselves, if you observe their expressions, aren't they all faking smiles?”
Upon hearing this, the crowd immediately observed carefully.
And it turned out to be true!
For example, Demon War, although he had an expression of enjoyment, if you observed closely, you could tell that this expression was constantly plastered on his face and did not seem to come from within.
Instead, it was a deliberate performance.
“What a fake-smiling boy!”
Observing others, they found that, without exception, everyone seemed to be cooperating with a performance, resisting this enjoyment.
They simply didn't dare to immerse themselves in it.
It makes sense!
This is the Town Boundary Tower!!
Even they, as observers, could feel its danger, let alone these Heavenly Geniuses who had survived nine deaths to reach this point.
They cherished their lives more than anyone else; how could they completely sink into depravity for such a tiny temptation?
Of course, except for Han Lie.
The smile on his face was uncontrollable.
“They are all pretending!!”
The director continued, “It's clear that all the Heavenly Geniuses are resisting this temptation. What they are doing now is akin to studying in a bustling market, forcibly honing their martial arts mindset. I imagine that when they can cultivate, they will definitely put all their strength into cultivating!!”
“!!!”
Upon hearing this, everyone couldn't help but give a thumbs up.
They thought to themselves, as expected of Heavenly Geniuses selected through layers of trials; facing such a great temptation, they can still maintain an unwavering Dao heart.
“Too strong!!”
“From another perspective, the fact that Demon War is experiencing very little temptation right now doesn't also indicate that his heart is free of desires except for the Great Dao?”
“Yes, these strong individuals all share a common trait: their hearts are extremely pure. It stands to reason that these current temptations cannot shake them!”
“Then... what about Han Lie?”
Speaking of which, let's look at Han Lie again.
Everyone scratched their heads, momentarily unsure what to say.
Han Lie certainly knows how to enjoy himself, which indirectly suggests that his martial cultivation heart is not firm, and his mind is full of desires.
“!!!”
At first glance,
Han Lie is the one who knows how to enjoy himself the most, and also the one with the most desires in his heart, even more than those at the bottom of the rankings.
He has more desires in his heart than them.
“What the hell is this The Barren doing?!”
Everyone then discovered that the fake The Barren was sparring with servants in the Jile Pavilion.
“Holy crap, isn't that cultivation?!”
They were shocked.
The directors were equally shocked. If they remembered correctly, the rules stated that Heavenly Geniuses could only enjoy themselves in the Jile Pavilion and could not engage in any cultivation-related activities.
But after observing carefully for a while, they realized that 'sparring' was not appropriate; instead, the servants were kneeling on the ground.
Serving as The Barren's sandbags,
And The Barren, too, did not use even a trace of physical strength; he simply swung his fists and struck the servants' bodies like an ordinary person!!!
“This is allowed?!”
No one who saw this wasn't surprised. After thinking about it, there was probably only one reasonable explanation: the fake The Barren had already stripped away all desires.
He was even purer than Demon War of the God-Demon Clan, who possessed racial talents.
His heart was left with only slaughter, and thus he believed the most enjoyable form of entertainment was to abuse and kill others. And look at those servants, beaten beyond recognition by punch after punch.
“Terrifying!!”
Everyone's eyes widened in unison.
Such a The Barren was undoubtedly extremely terrifying. It was obvious that such a deranged person must possess a nearly fanatical martial arts heart.
.............
“All good......”
In a blink of an eye, half a day passed.
Both the directors and the audience had a general assessment of the current performance of the Heavenly Geniuses. Although there was no data panel on the right side now, they all had a rough idea.
On the director's side,
They also spoke some things and gave some guidance according to the requirements of the upper leadership.
The Sea God Clan member said:
“I believe that The Barren has performed the best so far. His martial heart is extremely pure and has not been affected at all. I imagine that when he cultivates, he will definitely be the fastest!”
“In addition, Demon War, Zhou Li, and several other Heavenly Geniuses who are also fake bodies have all performed very well!”
“I believe that after today...”
“They will all have a good outcome!”
“Yes!”
Another person picked up the conversation, “Furthermore, I also discovered that over a dozen other Heavenly Geniuses, although their strength and talent are weaker than those mentioned earlier, their martial hearts are extremely firm and not inferior. They are Hai Hua of the Sea God Clan, Gu Huai of the Demon Beast Race… and Liu Ruyan of the Human Race…”
Human Race?
A few people around were slightly surprised, but immediately understood. Because of Han Lie, the status of other human contestants had risen, gaining considerable attention.
Being observed also proved that this girl indeed had something commendable about her.
Everyone switched their perspective to take a look.
Indeed, they found that this Human Race girl named Liu Ruyan was truly immersed in her desires, but every time the “script” ended, her eyes were so clear it was as if she hadn't participated at all.
“This child's character is also good!”
Everyone then commented on her.
Each person listed a few individuals, which sparked widespread discussion in the comments, and it's worth noting that they did not mention Han Lie.
..............
The comments were also arguing—
“Why no Han Lie?!”
“Is Han Lie so strong that he can't get your recognition?! Huh?!”
“Is it that hard to admit someone else is strong?”
Someone immediately retorted:
“Being strong is a thing of the past. Haven't you seen Han Lie's performance now? He's completely immersed in it. Can he get out?!”
“!!!”
“Exactly, Han Lie is in trouble now. I think after 22 hours, the last thing he'll want to do is cultivate; he'll want an encore!!”
“Hahahahaha, encore!!”
“Yes, that's so true!”
“Han Lie is exactly like that!!”
................
Everyone argued back and forth without a clear conclusion, but the vast majority of rational people still believed that Han Lie was probably in trouble.
His performance this time was truly poor.
