Chapter 670 - Stairway To Heavens Second Trial (1/2)
”Don't screw with me! You're just wasting time! Why can't you tell me what really matters? I don't care about the other memories!” Yuan frowned at the handsome man's words.
”Now that wouldn't be fun at all, would it? Furthermore, who tells a story that starts from the middle— the most exciting part? That makes no sense and will only take away the excitement.” The handsome man casually shrugged.
”Anyways, I won't keep you here any longer. Have fun with the rest of the trial.”
The handsome man disappeared the next moment, and the scenery began to disappear shortly after.
In just a few breaths of time, Yuan returned back to the arena with a starry background.
”Congratulations on passing your first trial, Master.” Tian'er's voice resounded.
Yuan looked up into the darkness and asked, ”How many more trials do I need to complete before I arrive at the next realm?”
”...”
After a moment of silence, Tian'er said, ”I cannot answer that question, Master, as it's different for everyone. Some require four trials while some only require one trial to ascend.”
”What? How is that even fair? And how are the trials decided?”
”They are decided by the participants' talent, destiny, and if they are helping others ascend. The more talented you are, the more difficult the trials will become.”
”Destiny? You're telling me that the Stairway to Heaven can tell someone's destiny?”
”That is correct.”
”Then can you tell me my destiny?”
”That is not how this works, Master.”
”Whatever. Let me continue my trial then.”
”You are allowed an hour to recover your spiritual energy after every trial. If you wish to advance without resting, just say so.”
Yuan nodded and said, ”I will need every ounce of spiritual energy I can get.”
He sat down the next moment and began recovering his spiritual energy.
'Wow! I should've noticed this sooner! The spiritual energy in this place is so pure! I can feel my cultivation base soaring towards the next level as it recovers!' Yuan was shocked when he absorbed the spiritual energy in the Stairway to Heaven.
And sure enough, right before his one hour was up, he'd managed to breakthrough to the next level, reaching the fifth level of Spirit Grandmaster.
”Congratulations on your breakthrough, Master.” Tian'er said to him.
”Thank you. I am ready for the next trial.” Yuan then said.
”Please climb that staircase for your next trial.”
Yuan looked around until he saw the staircase Tian'er was talking about, and he began climbing it shortly after.
Meanwhile, in the spectators' room.
”It's back!” Min Li exclaimed in an excited voice when the pond started working again.
”Hm? What happened? Why did he return to that place? What happened to the trial? Did he pass or fail?” Chu Liuxiang asked.
”Seeing that he's climbing the staircase, he most likely passed the first trial and is heading to his second one.” Feng Yuxiang said.
Sometime later, Yuan arrived at the second arena.
”The second trial will now begin.” Tian'er's calm voice resounded.
