Chase Chu walked over and touched the concrete—it was still a bit damp. "Did Senior go into the water?"
Everyone else noticed Chase Chu's action as well. Evan Yang smiled inwardly. "He found it after all."
"Hey, did you leave that on purpose?" Hannah Nangong asked.
"If I didn't leave it, how would he get the result I wanted?" Evan Yang replied.
"So you did it on purpose," Hannah Nangong laughed.
"Not exactly. Normally, anyone who climbs up there would be dizzy and exhausted, hardly paying attention to such small details. Now that he's noticed, let's see how sharp his perception really is." Evan Yang smiled.
Hannah Nangong wasn't sure what Evan Yang was up to, so she kept watching Chase Chu's movements. The others were also curious about how those footprints had been left.
Victor Chu saw the footprints and muttered with a look of surprise, "That kid actually noticed it."
Chase Chu hadn't realized so many people were watching him. He followed the shoreline into the water, not even hesitating before diving in.
The crowd soon lost sight of Chase Chu.
Everyone around was shocked, but Evan Yang remained calm. Finn Yun, worried, asked, "Is he going to be alright?"
"What do you think could happen to him?" Evan Yang replied with a smile.
"Well, I'll go check," Finn Yun sighed.
Evan Yang stayed calm, but Hannah Nangong grew worried. "You said he's hurt—if this keeps up, won't he be unable to get up?"
"If he can't even get up from this, what's the difference between him and a mortal?" Evan Yang said with a laugh.
"Uh..." Hannah Nangong hadn't expected Evan Yang to say that, so she fell silent.
Meanwhile, Chase Chu slowly descended in the water, carefully observing his surroundings until he spotted a tunnel and dove in.
He finally emerged from the water, only to be greeted by darkness. "Where is this place?" he wondered.
Feeling lost, Chase Chu used something to start a fire and looked around, realizing he was in a cave.
Inside the cave, the walls were covered in marks, but most had faded and were unreadable. Only beside those characters was a clear line: "If you've reached this place, it means you've succeeded, so you can return now."
