"Ah...!"
Ryan's expression changed instantly.
"Sorry!"
He snapped back to his senses, quickly restraining his aura.
As his presence withdrew, the crushing pressure vanished just as suddenly as it had appeared, and the temperature returned to normal, as if everything that had just happened had been an illusion.
The candidates collapsed to the ground, gasping for breath, their bodies drained of strength.
Bai Ye was in an even worse state, his white robe completely soaked with sweat, as though he had just been pulled out of water.
Ryan had merely released his aura...
And yet the effect had been this terrifying.
"This… I'm sorry," Ryan said again, his voice carrying genuine regret. "I didn't mean to… I lost control."
Bai Ye looked at him deeply, and there was no anger in his eyes, only awe, a deeper understanding of just how terrifying Ryan truly was.
