Super Spender

Chapter 851: Chapter 845: This is His Highness (Part 4)_1

But now, Finn Lewis slightly bent his lower legs and then used his leg muscles to jump up vigorously. Such was the force that his shoes even showed a sign of splitting apart, but even so, he managed to leap only about three to four meters high.

Then he quickly fell back down, and Finn’s action left those outside somewhat baffled, “What is he doing? It seems like he has not even started the task. Even if he did, what’s the point of a vertical jump on the spot?” Xuanyuan Feng couldn’t help but turn to Shaoning Locke beside him to ask.

Went out yesterday to splurge… As a result, didn’t get back until past midnight. Today is Christmas Eve, wishing everyone a Happy Christmas Eve. Don’t trick girls into eating bananas with fruits, hehe.

“I don’t know.” Most people here didn’t know, and they couldn’t understand what Finn was up to. Naturally, these people couldn’t possibly go to Earth to watch a regular movie. However, speaking of such things, Finn did notice something unusual.

Though the entertainment industry in the Galactic Federation is equally developed, and even more so than that on Earth, the stuff they produce is more or less the same. The only difference is that science fiction doesn’t have much of a market anymore, and occasionally when sci-fi does appear, in Finn’s view, it tends more towards fantasy.

On the other hand, many movies from Earth are incredibly imaginative, like “The Matrix”. Although Finn didn’t know whether such a scenario could be realized here, trying it out couldn’t hurt. However, what Finn did not realize was that the concepts in “The Matrix”, while seemingly far-fetched, actually weren’t entirely without reason.

Such a Virtual World is not like a regular game or something similar with defined rules. Although this place also has rules, those rules are very vague. Therefore, when Finn decided to jump like that, some of the senior management in the school watching backstage were startled.

“Your Highness, what are you doing?” Someone couldn’t help but directly ask out loud.

An old man glanced at him and then squinted his eyes and said, “I do not know yet. However, I have a feeling that this prince might just break the record for the second challenge.”

Finn landed on the ground without any apparent change, but as he landed, he felt something different. He was very clear about how high he could jump and how much strength he had, but here in this place, Finn could sense that some things were not stable.

The cause of this instability meant that it was indeed related to his thoughts because, in reality, Finn could jump much higher than he had just now. Finn’s strength had already surpassed that of an adult by more than tenfold, though strength and jump height were not proportional.

However, in reality, Finn could easily jump seven or eight meters high, which was no problem at all, but right now, he could only manage about four meters. There definitely was a problem. Finn closed his eyes, and his powerful mental strength gave him a keen perception and almost effortless control over his thoughts.

Of course, Finn still had a long way to go to reach that kind of realm, but right now, he didn’t need to achieve such a level. After a while, Finn suddenly opened his eyes. At the moment he did so, his mind went blank, and the only thought left in his brain was that he could easily jump onto an open-air balcony in the middle of the skyscraper next to him.

The balcony was situated at the midpoint of the skyscraper, about forty meters above the ground—a height that certainly would have been impossible for Finn to reach in reality. But when Finn bent his legs and exerted force, the ground beneath his feet even cracked slightly.

Then, under the stunned gaze of everyone, Finn’s figure shot up like a cannonball, clearing the forty-odd meters in almost the blink of an eye. With a “boom”, he shattered the floor of the skyscraper and landed on top.

Looking down at the tiny streets below, Finn felt a surge of exhilaration and couldn’t help but laugh out loud twice before decisively pressing the button to start the test.

At this moment, the crowd outside, after a brief spell of shock, was almost entirely stupefied. An uproar instantaneously reverberated throughout the entire academy, with many people unable to restrain their cries of astonishment, and even more began to whisper among themselves. How did Finn do it?

You see, many people have participated in this assessment, which has a long history in the noble academy. Everyone certainly knew what was possible within this map, which is no different from reality. But how in the hell could Finn jump so high?

It was as if he possessed the powers of a superhero. Such abilities were probably only found among certain species with special powers on many primitive planets. But since when could humans achieve such feats? But before their discussions could even begin, something even more astonishing happened. Finn leaped from that balcony with a powerful push, and in his next jump, he rose several hundred meters, instantly reaching the rooftop of another skyscraper.

At this moment, a notification alert directly rang out in front of everyone at the noble academy. The announcement was simple: Finn Lewis had passed the second assessment with the highest score. As for what the second assessment was, Finn had yet to experience it, meaning it hadn’t actually started yet.

The truth is, when Finn did such a thing, whether or not to continue with the second assessment was no longer important. What’s really evaluated here is a person’s heart, and Finn easily broke through with the highest performance ever recorded.

Many people outside were stunned, not only the regular nobles but even members of the royal family like Shaoning Locke didn’t understand why. But they didn’t question the fairness of the assessment because the credibility of this assessment was not decided by the noble academy. It was handled by several departments of the entire Galactic Federation.

Everything set up here was very strict and hadn’t changed for many years. While there have been technological upgrades, the essence of the assessment had hardly changed.

However, Finn quickly proceeded to the third challenge, which was different and more difficult than the first and second challenges. Unlike the second one, it wasn’t possible to do the same thing in this challenge. This next one was more akin to an online game. After entering, Finn had well-defined rules to follow, and his task was simple—control space mechs, land mechs, and space fighter jets to complete various tasks.
