"Whoosh."

In the Live Stream Room 1, the sound of fierce winds roared as Lewis descended too rapidly, friction with the air intensifying his speed.

The live brast split into two screens, displaying the views from the two remaining cameras: one on Lewis' head and the other on his lower legs.

The camera on his legs captured half of Lewis' body and the ground rapidly approaching below.

Lewis' body was incredibly stable, straight as a gun.

The head-mounted camera showed a 180-degree wide-angle view of the parachute base.

Below, the safety net appeared tiny due to the vast distance.

In the distance, a row of civilian airplanes stood, with staff and parachuting tourists scattered around.

All of them stood rooted to the spot, gazing skyward.

Suddenly, the scene changed.

Everyone witnessed Lewis falling from a third-person perspective.

It was the ground crew's drone, flown to the same altitude as Lewis.

The drone was tens of meters away from Lewis, posing no threat to him.

The cameraman was terrified that his operation might cause an accident, putting Lewis in danger.

As Lewis uttered his final words, nearly 2 million online viewers had their hearts in their throats.

"Lewis will definitely succeed!" Zoe clenched her fists and exclaimed loudly.

Ash forced a bitter smile but couldn't afford to be distracted.

Four hundred meters, seven to eight seconds.

They wouldn't need long to see the final outcome.

He was rapidly contemplating in his mind what he should say if anything went wrong.

At that moment, a line of barrage of comments appeared in the live brast.

"8!"

"7!"

"6!"

Millions of netizens typed the same numbers in unison, counting down for Lewis in this manner.

The scene was quite spectacular.

Although their voices couldn't be heard, the numbers conveyed everyone's emotions at that moment.

They expressed all their blessings in this way.

"5!"

"4!"

Three seconds left, and the safety net was right below.

Lewis' eyes widened, and with a determined gaze, he shouted loudly, "This last wish is mine!"

As soon as the words left his lips, his body "swished" and the final hundred meters flashed by almost instantly.

Under the drone's lens, everyone could clearly see Lewis' body accurately land in the safety net.

The enormous safety net, like a soft veil, swayed as Lewis fell into it without making any sound.

It quietly brought Lewis' final challenge to an end.

This contrasted sharply with the tension in everyone's hearts and the eerie atmosphere at the scene.

The drone swiftly flew over and hovered above Lewis' head.

Lying in the soft safety net, Lewis had just landed when the huge net perfectly absorbed all the impact force, safely catching him.

The safety net gently swayed as he lay there in the shape of a big letter, gazing at the blue sky and white clouds above.

Even though he had immense confidence that he could safely land in the net without a parachute, he still felt relieved to have survived the ordeal.

"Phew!"

He exhaled gently, adjusting his breathing to calm his racing heart.

Seeing this scene, everyone's tense moods instantly relaxed.

Then, there was jubilation.

A celebration unique to Lewis.

"Haha, I knew it, I knew it, Lewis can't be defeated!"

"Lewis, you're the strongest!"

"Amazing, too amazing, jumping from 20,000 meters and surviving! You must have used up all your luck for the rest of your life!"

"What luck, it's skill, his unparalleled skill!"

[Duck King]: Let me say it, Lewis is the strongest man on earth, does anyone disagree?

"Duck King, shut up, if Lewis finds out it's because of your cursed mouth, he'll sell Tomson Place and hire an assassin to kill you in a heartbeat, believe it or not?"

"He's so strong, I watched on my knees the whole time."

"On your knees? You don't know that the picture of the [Most Standard Kneeling Pose] that's been circulating online lately is my selfie."

"If you can't learn to kneel, you're not even worthy of being a fan!"

"I'm crying, are the standards for fans so high now?"

[Tree Tree] gifted 88 rockets and left a message: North Guy told me this challenger was amazing, but I didn't quite believe it. Now, having seen it with my own eyes, I'm convinced.

[North Guy] gifted 66 rockets and left a message: The one I recommended won't disappoint, and now even I have to call him God Lewis!

Gifts poured in, and these two big spenders in the top ten of the Tiger Shark tipping chart were especially generous.

The atmosphere in the program team was also relaxed.

Several people instinctively picked up their water cups and took a sip.

However, their hands holding the cups trembled slightly.

"Lewis is really lucky," Ash smiled, though internally he cursed: Damn it, please don't pick such difficult last wishes next time. I'm just a host. I don't want to play with my heart like this!

Reg said, "There's some luck involved, but more importantly, it's skill. He's never skydived before, but his aerial balance is incredible."

Internally, he was also complaining that this novice had used up all his luck for the rest of his life.

Blake said, "This is his second last wish completed, right?"

"Huh? Is this considered a completed challenge?" James asked in confusion. "This last wish was to skydive at a specific location, but he didn't even open his parachute, does that count?"

This question stunned everyone.

Ash wasn't sure. "We'll have to ask Sky Group, they'll have professionals assess it."

Reg remained calm, "Of course it counts, why not? Jumping from 20,000 meters, he had a parachute on him, whether he opened it or not, as long as he safely landed at the designated location, it's completed. Besides, this natural disaster is uncontrollable and not subjective. And what he did is even more advanced than skydiving at a specific location, it's called BASE jumping without protection."

Zoe also said, "Yeah, why not? It definitely counts."

Rose said, "Let's wait for Sky Group's assessment."

Lewis wasn't worried at all; unprotected skydiving was still skydiving.

Even if Sky Group ultimately deemed his method invalid, he still had the chance to try again.

He could complete it without a parachute, so with one, it would be even better.

"Hmm? Why aren't you letting me down?" Lewis had rested enough and looked around. The staff stood below but didn't seem to be planning to lower him.

Lewis shouted, "Hey, let me down."

Staff said, "Mr. Lewis, please wait a moment. Mr. David will be opening his parachute soon. We'll lower you down after his challenge ends."

"Okay." He almost forgot about Mr. David.

He wasn't in a rush anymore, crossing his arms behind his head and staring at the sky.

After a dozen seconds, he saw a parachute pack bloom like a celestial flower from the sky.

That was David.

"His direction is a bit off," Lewis muttered to himself.

From his professional perspective, David's parachute opening position wasn't good, at least a 500-meter deviation from the safety net.

But he opened his parachute at only 500 meters high.

From that height, it wasn't easy to control the parachute to land accurately 500 meters away.

Time ticked by, and David's parachute got closer and closer.

Lewis shook his head, it couldn't be done.

As if to confirm his words, David finally landed about 170 to 180 meters away from the safety net.

At this moment, Ash and the others instinctively relaxed.

The netizens also breathed a sigh of relief.
