With one step into the void, his body immediately plummeted downwards. To West and the others' great confusion and disappointment, instead of showing the slightest sign of panic, Chen Yue closed his eyes and had an expression of enjoyment on his face.

  He must be pretending.

  With their extremely unbalanced psyches, they could only comfort themselves in this way.

  Come on, it was just over twenty meters. When he first started training under Vinia, he had to jump from a height of ten thousand meters. Compared to that difficulty, the current one was just child's play.

  It couldn't even cause the slightest ripple in his heart.

  As the feeling of his feet touching the ground came, a gentle force rose from under his feet, allowing him to land steadily. At the same time, Chen Yue seemed to hear an admiring sigh.

  West and the others jumped down one after another. Chen Yue discovered that with each additional person, the space of the familiar spirit grew a bit larger. When Vinia finally landed beside him, the small boat that had looked tiny from a distance could now accommodate six people without any sense of crowding at all. Presumably, this was another ability of this familiar spirit.

  There were Vinia, Chen Yue, West, and then Lili Dan, a total of six people. As for others like Will, when they jumped down, they actually passed straight through the body of the familiar spirit and fell into the seawater, looking extremely embarrassed.

  "The Crescent Island Training Base doesn't receive non-apostle personnel." Kles Nor said arrogantly. For high-rank apostles, familiar spirits were equivalent to their avatars. Therefore, although he was on Crescent Island, he knew the situation here like the back of his hand.

  Will and the others were angry but dared not say a word. Every time someone objected, West lowered his head, looking rather uneasy. Although Kles Nor didn't specifically criticize them, these people were brought by him. Originally, it wasn't a big deal, but obviously, the fight that had happened on the ship had made this big shot rather unhappy. At this time, he was just making an issue out of it.

  Fortunately, Kles Nor didn't say anything more. After picking up everyone, the familiar spirit immediately shot out like an arrow.

  Chen Yue gave Lili Dan a thoughtful look. She wasn't an apostle but hadn't been driven away by Kles Nor. Of course, it couldn't be because the other party had a soft spot for beautiful women. So, there was only one possibility left. She was an apostle apprentice, someone who had a high chance of becoming an apostle.

  The training base wasn't on Crescent Island. The familiar spirit carried everyone around in a circle, and then the view suddenly opened up. They came to an unfamiliar sea area. Chen Yue could swear that this sea area was definitely not near Crescent Island. Apparently, it was another ability of a high-rank apostle.

  An island appeared in front. The familiar spirit rushed towards it without stopping. From a distance, Chen Yue saw a middle-aged man standing on the beach, looking in their direction.

  As if sensing Chen Yue's gaze, the man looked over here, and a look of surprise flashed across his face. Obviously, he was surprised that apart from Vinia, someone so far away could clearly see him.

  Chen Yue quickly and inconspicuously shifted his gaze away, and a look of confusion appropriately appeared in his eyes. The man stared suspiciously for a while before finally looking away.

  Chen Yue's heart was pounding. With just that one glance, it was as if he had seen endless and lofty mountains standing between heaven and earth. Even from a distance, he could still feel the huge pressure coming towards him.

  This was the might of a high-rank apostle. But he had never felt this kind of feeling from Vinia before.

  Taking another look at Vinia beside him, he was shocked. At this moment, Vinia seemed to have become an unfathomable vortex in his eyes, spreading out on the sea surface. The vortex emitted a terrifying suction force, dissipating the other party's huge pressure into nothingness. Standing beside her, Chen Yue felt that his feet were almost unable to stand firmly.

  Silently, the two were fiercely confronting each other. But strangely enough, the others seemed to be completely unaware of it. They didn't feel the slightest bit of the hidden battle and weren't affected at all.

  Only in Chen Yue's eyes did the look of horror grow heavier and heavier.

  There weren't many people who could rival Vinia and not be at a disadvantage.

  The identity of this middle-aged man was already obvious.

  Sure enough, after a while, West and the others cheered.

  "It's Teacher Kles Nor. He's come to pick us up."

  These people were completely unaware. With their limited eyesight, they naturally couldn't see Kles Nor's expression on the beach. However, Chen Yue could see it clearly. Both he and Vinia had solemn expressions on their faces.

  From time to time, a cracking sound rang out in the air, as if a piece of high-quality silk cloth was being forcefully torn apart, which was extremely ear-piercing.

  The calm sea surface became rough, and the familiar spirit had long stopped moving forward and was trembling slightly.

  As the confrontation further escalated, the two couldn't completely control the leakage of their power. Even West and the others felt the silent pressure in the air and looked at the two with horrified expressions.

  The pressure grew stronger and stronger and had already affected the others. Chen Yue felt that the air around him had become thick. Everyone seemed to be in a paste. Every move took two or three times more effort than usual. It was as if the gravity had suddenly doubled.

  West and the others already had pained expressions on their faces, sweating profusely. Their physical fitness was far inferior to Chen Yue's. Even Chen Yue felt that it was difficult to take a step, let alone them.

  Slowly, Chen Yue felt that it was even difficult to breathe. At this time, West and the others had already been pressed onto the deck by the huge force, and their lives were in danger at any moment.

  Suddenly, a layer of yellow light rose from the body of the familiar spirit, wrapping them up. Immediately, their pressure disappeared completely, and they looked relaxed. Obviously, Kles Nor had manipulated the familiar spirit to take action.

  However, that layer of yellow light bypassed Chen Yue and didn't cover him.

  Vinia let out a soft sigh. She understood that from the very beginning, they had fallen into a trap. Once they were inside Kles Nor's familiar spirit, he had already occupied the advantageous position. He only needed to give an order to take care of West and the others without being distracted. But for herself, if she wanted to help Chen Yue, she would definitely be pushed back by him and be at a disadvantage. However, she couldn't just watch Chen Yue perish in front of her.

  Kles Nor had precisely seen this and carefully set up this sure-win situation to force her to admit defeat voluntarily.

  Which was more important, her own face or the promising Chen Yue?

  There was no need to think about it at all. Vinia gritted her silver teeth and was about to take action when she saw Chen Yue take a step back.

  "Hmm?"

  The pressure as heavy as a mountain immediately pressed down on Chen Yue, making his bones creak slightly. However, he didn't stop. Immediately after, he took another step back.

  "What is he trying to do?" Seeing Chen Yue's unusual movement, Vinia involuntarily stopped.

  Another step, and the pressure rushed in like a surging tide.

  Gritting his teeth, he continued.

  Another step.

  ...........

  Under the unprecedented pressure, Chen Yue felt that all his potential had been squeezed out, and his spirit was more concentrated than ever. He had exerted all his strength, controlling every muscle in his body to reduce the area affected by the force. Slowly, he felt that he could even control every part of his body. Chen Yue believed that if he were to perform the eighth and ninth postures now, it would be effortless and extremely proficient.

  Watching Chen Yue step back one by one, while being moved once again by his tenacious will, Vinia noticed the direction in which he was retreating. A look of amazement flashed in her phoenix-like eyes.

  "Could it be that he saw it?"

  With one step, the pressure that had almost crushed him disappeared without a trace. A smile appeared on Chen Yue's handsome face. He knew he hadn't been mistaken.

  In his eyes, the vortex that Vinia had transformed into had been stretched into an oval shape. Chen Yue knew that an oval had two centers. Just like the eye of a typhoon where there was no wind or waves, the pressure vortex must be the same. Vinia was standing at one center, and he was standing at the other point.

  Here, it was calm.

  Both Vinia and Kles Nor had strange expressions on their faces. The difference was that Vinia had a look of relief and surprise, while Kles Nor had a look of shock and disbelief.

  Chen Yue's performance had immediately stirred up waves in his heart.

  Vinia immediately seized this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

  With a light chuckle, she stretched out her right hand and made a virtual point forward. Chen Yue clearly saw that at that instant, Vinia's arm turned into a crystal-clear water arm, just like an enlarged version of the Water Spirit, and an incomparable force surged out.
