185: The confused races in the universe

“How much?!”

Yutong’s current number of cameras could reflect just as many dumbfounded faces, as they rubbed their eyes, trying to make out the numbers on Jile Pavilion.

But the numbers were actually quite clear.

Han Lie’s Strength Growth Index—

12301!!!

“How much?!”

“Oh, for f***’s sake!!!”

“Huh?!”

“Ohhhhhhhhhhhh, crazy!!”

“12301?! Is he even human?!”

“No... no... no, when did he even cultivate?!”

“Huh?!”

The bullet comments exploded, the entire live stream went completely wild, everyone using text to vent their unbelievable shock.

They repeatedly sought answers, but the conclusion was laid out plainly before their eyes: Han Lie, who seemed to be doing nothing, had a final strength increase 100 times that of the servants in his Jile Pavilion!!

“!!!”

“This... this... is this reasonable?!”

“Go to hell!!”

“Are you kidding me?!”

“There’s a fix, there must be a fix!!!”

In the blink of an eye, hundreds of thousands of bullet comments flooded in. They simply couldn't wrap their heads around what was happening.

This was too outrageous.

Meanwhile, Yutong’s staff were still busy working methodically, each of them responsible for logging data for dozens of Heavenly Talents.

So, while everyone was in shock,

The data table in the upper right corner had already been pulled down.

Strength Growth Rate Ranking—

First place, Human Clan Han Lie,

Strength Growth Rate Index 12301

Second place, Human Clan Liu Ruyan,

Strength Growth Rate Index 153

Third place, God-Demon Clan Demon War,

Strength Growth Rate Index 148

Fourth place, Sea God Clan Hai Qing,

Strength Growth Rate Index 146

Fifth place....

...........

............

“No... huh?!”

When everyone saw the data table, their shock didn't decrease but rather increased. They had been wondering if the Nu Clan had just given up on cultivating after returning, which was why they only got an index of 131.

Yes,

Many people had been thinking that perhaps Han Lie wasn't too strong, but rather that the Nu Clan had slacked off, and the index proposed by the rules was already a considerably large number, making Han Lie seem too strong only by comparison.

Now, they didn't even need to investigate.

Yutong's highly professional staff had already shoved the data right in their faces.

This time,

It left everyone stunned.

“What, Demon War only 148?!”

“How is that possible? Didn't Demon War break through his inner demons and embrace a new life?!”

“Damn it, didn't the God-Demon Clan big shot publicly state that Demon War's Dao Heart was so stable now that even he found it astonishing?! How is it only 148?!”

“Crazy, I've been watching Demon War's perspective the whole time. After those people left, he immediately entered a cultivation state!! And I could feel his effort just through the screen, how is it only 148?!”

“No, everyone else is basically hovering around 100!! And they’re all ranked high, so there’s no need to look at those ranked lower!!”

Everyone was horrified.

They found that those ranked lower were basically hovering around fifty or sixty, and even those fifty or sixty.

Seemed to be working harder than Han Lie.

And, more importantly!!!

“When the hell did Han Lie cultivate?!”

“No, he was massaging the whole time, chatting and laughing with that young woman, then he was fumbling around, not doing anything serious, and his Strength Growth Index is 12301? You’ve got to be kidding me!!!”

“Oh, my God, you are truly playing an ill-timed joke on me. He, Han Lie!! Growth Index 12301, are you serious?”

Everyone simply couldn't accept it.

They thought the list was wrong, but after protesting for a while to no avail, the first-person perspective also showed that Han Lie’s data was indeed that.

“But...”

“But how is that possible?!”

It could be clearly seen that the current top 10 were no longer the previous top 10, as this floor tested the extent of strength growth. From this perspective,

Those who were weaker before might have a slight advantage.

For example, Liu Ruyan, who had gained something unknown before, or suddenly had an epiphany, coupled with an extremely stable Dao Heart.

She even reached second place at one point.

Therefore,

The top 10 had been completely reshuffled, and the top 100 even featured dozens of individuals no one had ever heard of. This list seemed extremely professional.

However,

What was going on with this Han Lie?!

“Impossible!!”

“12301? He secretly trained without us knowing, no, he didn't hide anything from us when he did anything!!”

“Damn it, a Strength Growth Index of 12301?! More than a hundred times Demon War’s, could it be that even effort can’t compare to Han Lie? No, Han Lie didn’t even put in any effort!!”

....................

They tried to ask the director for help.

However,

The directors, who had just been so capable of analysis and articulate about Han Lie’s performance, now stammered and couldn't say a word when faced with everyone’s questions.

They could only state:

“There is no problem with the data!!”

“As for why Han Lie has such a terrifying strength growth rate, and how exactly he cultivated, don’t ask me!!”

How the hell should I know?!

Their minds were like a thousand alpacas galloping past.

“I know!!”

And just then,

Jijiang appeared from nowhere, her eyes smiling, and she shook her head, saying,

“Didn’t I tell you?”

“Han Lie is just like that!!”

“When he gets a massage, he's experiencing the world's strongest Pile Stance; when he watches others perform, he's observing the most powerful Breathing Method; when he eats snacks, he's enjoying the ultimate heavenly treasures and earthly delights!!”

“That's just how he is!”

Jijiang said earnestly.

“Ah, this...”

Uncharacteristically, the directors did not immediately refute, even though these things still sounded a bit like fooling a fool.

The Sea God Clan director was stunned.

“But...”

“But didn't you say before that Han Lie observed the Breathing Method by scrolling on his phone? He's not scrolling on his phone now....”

“Ah...”

Jijiang waved her hand dismissively after hearing that.

“Maybe it got upgraded?!”

“Huh?!”

Everyone was completely dumbfounded.

Is it that childish?

But no matter how they listened, it sounded like she was fooling idiots!!!

However,

Until Jijiang left contentedly.

They didn’t refute at all, because there was simply no reason to. The outrageous truth was right before their eyes.

They simply couldn't talk their way out of it.

“Could it be that......”

“Han Lie can really get stronger like this?!”

“No... huh?!”

It’s like a tree of confusion bearing fruits of confusion, with you and me beneath it, and everyone sitting in rows in front of it, each with a fruit of confusion...
