Chapter 103 - The Final Step (1/2)
'What the hell is a Cultivator at the fifth level Spirit Warrior realm doing here?! Even Min Li from the Min Family was only at the peak of the Spirit Apprentice realm!' The Sect Elder was greatly baffled by Yuan's unusual and overwhelming presence in the exam.
And since most of the other participants there were between the third level and seventh level Spirit Apprentice realm, they weren't even able to see Yuan's real cultivation base.
”Just to confirm, I just have to walk to that silver tree, correct?” Yuan asked the Sect Elder, snapping him out of his daze.
”T-That's correct! As long as you can take 20 steps, you will pass this exam.”
Yuan nodded his head, and he proceeded to take his first step into the silver pond.
'What kind of results will he have? Although he's already at the fifth level Spirit Warrior realm, this test doesn't care for one's achievements, only their raw talents!' The Sect Elder watched Yuan with interest and curiosity, even a little bit of excitement, wondering what kind of results he would show them.
Meanwhile, Yuan just took his first step into the silver pond.
'This feels like I am walking on a mattress filled with water or something like that…' Yuan thought to himself as his feet touched the silver liquid that supported his weight.
After taking his first step, Yuan took his second step, then a third, and then a fourth— until he took his 20th step.
”Who is that man? He managed to take 20 steps effortlessly like Fairy Min!”
”He's blocking his face so we can't tell!”
The participants were surprised to see a nobody casually taking 20 steps as though he was taking a stroll in the park.
Meanwhile, Yuan continued walking towards the silver tree with a calm expression on his face behind the mask.
21… 22... 23...
28... 29... 30…
After taking his thirtieth step, Yuan did not stop and continued approaching the silver tree.
”Heavens! He's already taking his 35th step! And he did it without taking a single break!”
”Could this man be another genius at Fairy Min's level?!”
”Haha, I doubt it. Fairy Min is a real Cultivation genius! Although 15 steps may appear very little, the gap is actually immense— like heaven and earth!”
”I am willing to bet that he'll stop before 40 steps!”
”I bet that he'll reach 45 steps at most!”
While the participants began betting with each other for the results, Yuan continued walking towards the silver tree.
A few moments later, Yuan reached 45 steps without feeling any resistance or breaking a sweat.
After taking a few more steps, Yuan achieved 50 steps, rivaling Fairy Min's results.
”Good lord! First, we have Fairy Min who became the first person to achieve 50 steps in the last 7 years, now we have this mysterious man who also achieved 50 steps on the same day! To have two people achieving 50 steps so close to each other— this is unprecedented!”
However, as the participants there trembled in excitement, Yuan continued to move forward.
”He's still going!”
51...52...53...54...55…
Boom!
