He suddenly raised his head, his eyes fixed firmly on the third floating rock that was getting higher and higher up. Then, he bent his knees slightly, gathered his strength in his leg muscles, and leaped up!

Unexpectedly, he, who was firmly restrained by the skeletal arm, suddenly leaped up.

However, this made everything seem extremely strange, because even when Xia Fa jumped up, the third floating rock was still too high and too far away from him.

This made him look as if he were leaping directly off the second floating rock and about to plunge into the endless abyss.

Seeing that Xia Fa had leaped over the edge of the second floating rock, with nothing below him, his body began to plummet straight down under the influence of gravity.

But immediately, his body stopped, his knees bent, as if his feet had taken the brunt of the impact and landed firmly on the ground.

There was clearly nothing beneath his feet.

Suddenly, everything changed.

On the second floating rock behind them, the skeletal arms disappeared, and even the ground that the skeletal arms had pierced when they emerged was now smooth again, as if it had never been damaged.

Immediately afterwards, the surrounding scenery changed from being only a few meters above the endless black abyss sea to being hundreds of meters above it, meaning it returned to the original height of the ten floating rocks.

Then, a third piece of floating rock appeared beneath Xiafa's feet.

He had already landed on the third floating rock.

"Just as I thought..."

Xia Fa wiped the sweat from his brow and let out a long sigh of relief.

Just now, as the second floating rock was about to carry him into the endless abyss, Xia Fa suddenly realized that this was a test, not a deadly trap.

But ironically, this test blocked all his paths to survival.

So, this only means one thing.

Everything that just happened could only have been an illusion.

This test is not about his physical strength, speed, reaction time, etc., but about his character and judgment!

Therefore, Xia Fa dared to leap forward without any hesitation, attempting to jump onto the third floating rock that was completely invisible under the illusion.

Anyway, in a few more seconds, the second piece of floating rock will fall completely into the endless abyss sea that will corrode flesh and blood, leaving only bones. Either way, we're going to die, so we might as well give it a try.

Thankfully, this time the gamble paid off.

"The second test is already this difficult; there are still seven more to come..."

Xia Fa felt a little apprehensive, hoping that things wouldn't get harder as they went on.

But even at that level of difficulty, it was still a bit too hard.

If it were a test of strength, he could simply brute force his way through everything, especially with the [Ancient Treasure: Rhine Blade of Calamity] in hand.

But ironically, the challenges represented by these ten floating rocks are all tests of intelligence.

Oh no, it seems that intellectual challenges are actually easier for me...

Thinking this, Xia Fa raised his head and looked at the fourth floating rock.

But then, something completely unexpected happened.

Suddenly, the fourth piece of floating rock flew away with a "whoosh" and was more than ten meters away from him.

That's right, it's that simple and direct, showing no mercy, making the distance between the third and fourth floating rocks far beyond what ordinary people can jump over.

"This……"

Xia Fa was dumbfounded. Logically speaking, the same test should not come twice, which means that this time it must not be an illusion.

Moreover, the third floating rock did not descend this time, and there was no time limit, which meant he had plenty of time to solve the puzzle, making it even less likely to be an illusion.

But how am I supposed to jump over a distance of more than ten meters, given my current physical condition which is equivalent to that of an ordinary person?

Xia Fa looked left, right, up, and down, and found that every girl... well... After looking around, he didn't find any ropes, grappling hooks, or elastic shoes.

But the fourth piece of floating rock remained suspended motionless a dozen meters away, clearly indicating that nothing more would happen.

Xia Fa began to struggle, rubbing his chin with his fingers as he fell into deep thought.

"A test...a test..."

Suddenly, his eyes lit up as he noticed something.

Although I was only standing on the third floating rock, there was no fog or mist in this place, and the view was very clear.

In other words, he could see the location of the tenth floating rock at the farthest point at a glance.

It was for this reason that Xia Fa was surprised to find that not only had the fourth floating rock drifted to a distance of more than ten meters from him, but the distance between the fifth floating rock and the fourth floating rock had also become more than ten meters!

Not only that, the distance between the sixth, seventh, eighth... and so on, became more than ten meters!

"I understand!"

Upon discovering this pattern, Xia Fa suddenly shouted excitedly, since there was no one else around anyway.

Immediately, he crouched on the third floating rock, took a few steps to run, and then suddenly jumped out!

With his current mortal physique, he leaped several meters away, still about seven meters away from the fourth floating rock.

Just as Xia Fa's body was about to fall in the air, he bent his legs and jumped up again!

With a "thump" sound like a spring, he actually made a second jump in mid-air!

With this jump, using the momentum that had not yet dissipated, he rushed forward a few more meters, so that he was now less than three meters away from the fourth floating rock.

As his body began to fall again, Xia Fa jumped once more.

With another strange "thump," he jumped up again!

With a thud, Xia Fa landed smoothly on the fourth pumice.

"Was it from the moment I jumped onto the third floating rock that I was given the ability to 'triple jump'...?"

Xia Fa wiped the sweat from his forehead again. The triple jump, an ability not belonging to ordinary people, was quite physically demanding on him.

However, successfully passing another level brought him genuine joy.

Just now, when he was at a loss, he suddenly thought of a way to break through the barrier after observing that the distance between all the floating rocks had increased.

Either he gained the ability to fly by reaching the third level, which is also the third floating rock, or he gained the ability to double or triple jump!

Judging from the fact that he successfully landed on the fourth pumice, it was clear that he had made the right bet.

"We're almost halfway through the challenge..."

At this point, Xia Fa had to admit that the style in which his ancestor, the Outer God Gilgamesh, designed this family secret realm was indeed as unconventional as his speaking style.

I wonder what the nine great gods thought of Him 30,000 years ago...

This time, after waiting a while, Xia Fa found that the fifth floating rock had not changed at all, and he became more and more suspicious.

Based on my observations, while it may not get more difficult as we go on, it will definitely become more tricky and unusual.

But strangely enough, the fifth piece of floating rock remained unchanged, which made the situation even more terrifying.

Xia Fa waited patiently for several minutes, but the fifth piece of pumice remained unchanged.

He waited patiently for several more minutes, but there was still no change.

"Fine, I'll give it a try..."

I can't wait patiently for dozens of hours anymore, and after resting for these few tens of minutes, my strength has almost recovered.

Xia Fa had no choice but to take it one step at a time, adapt to changing circumstances, and deal with whatever comes his way.

boom! boom! boom!

After Xia Fa took a heavy step on the fourth floating rock, his legs, which were full of power, suddenly leaped forward, and then jumped twice more in the air.

After completing the triple jump, and seeing that he was about to land on the fifth floating rock, his feet had already begun to land on the edge of the fifth floating rock.

But at that moment, the fifth piece of floating rock actually moved forward more than a meter!

"No way!"

Xia Fa let out a strange cry. The solid rock beneath his feet had turned into empty air, and a hundred meters below was the endless Black Abyss Sea, where skeletons floated.

In a moment of desperation, Xia Fa stretched out his arms and grabbed the edge of the fifth floating rock just before he was about to fall completely.

The benefits of his regular physical training became apparent at this moment. He could do more than seventy pull-ups. His arms, shoulders, and back muscles bulged suddenly, and with all his might, he managed to withstand the downward force and pull his body up!

He even chipped away a lot of the loose rocks from the edge of the fifth floating rock. Fortunately, Xia Fa successfully climbed up using both his hands and feet.

A cold sweat broke out on his back. Xia Fa had never felt so fortunate and so thrilled before.

Who would have thought that the challenge of this fifth floating rock would be that just as I was about to land after my triple jump, the floating rock would move forward by more than a meter?

If it weren't for my height of 1.9 meters, long arms and legs, and quick reflexes, allowing me to grab the edge of the fifth floating rock at the crucial moment, I would have truly perished in the sea.

"This is interesting..."

Xia Fa only rested on the fifth pumice for a few seconds before looking at the sixth pumice.

Seeing that the sixth floating rock had not changed at all—neither flying any further, nor falling down, nor disappearing into thin air—Xia Fa immediately decided to persevere and continue trying to pass the level!

boom! boom! boom!

After another burst of running, Xia Fa suddenly leaped off the edge of the fifth floating rock, performing a triple jump in mid-air, and quickly arrived above the sixth floating rock before landing.

This time, things went exceptionally smoothly. The sixth floating rock didn't move or cause any other trouble; it just stayed there quietly, waiting for Xiafa to land.

Just as Xia Fa felt relieved, thinking this was a bonus level, suddenly, the sixth floating rock disappeared into thin air.

Yes, right in front of him, right under his feet, it just vanished into thin air!

This feeling is no less than when you're walking on a high suspension bridge between mountains, take a step and suddenly find that the bridge has broken, and you fall straight down because you lose weight.

Xia Fa's heart leaped into his throat, and he was sweating profusely. Although he thought of hundreds of solutions in an instant, they all seemed unnecessary under the circumstances.

Just as he began to despair, pondering where he had gone wrong and how to solve this sixth level—

With his feet firmly planted on the hard ground, the life-or-death crisis was over, and an overwhelming sense of security and peace welled up from the bottom of his heart.

"This……"

Xia Fa looked down in disbelief and saw that it was still empty, yet his feet were firmly planted on solid ground.

Could it be that this sixth piece of floating rock... didn't actually disappear into thin air, but instead became completely transparent just as it was about to fall?

Faced with such an outcome, Xia Fa could only make this conjecture.
