He felt warm inside as the pressure gradually reduced.
"W-What? The gravitational force can also make the warm current flow?" He expressed his shock as he took another step, feeling little pressure compared to the other participants.
He increased his speed, walking with a straight posture as he began to surpass the participants ahead of him."Hahaha, isn't this test just designed for ?" he thought internally.
Everyone was struggling to take a step ahead, however, he moved like climbing normal stairs, and that too with a smile.
Inside the Phoenix Feather Sect observation hall,
The peak masters all looked at the floating screens in the air that showed the scenes of the test.
"Who is this boy? Even under such pressure, it's like walking in the park!" One of the peak masters wondered.
"This boy looks like a good seedling, I should keep an eye on him." Another peak master planned in his mind.
The peak masters were sitting on chairs with the screens floating in front of them so they weren't interacting with each other. Also, since they were from different peaks, they were competitors in getting their desired disciples.
anwhile, in the test,
"Ha..ha.. Brother Mo Fan, wait for !" Luo Can's voice reached his ears as he turned around to realize that he had just surpassed him.
Luo Can caught up to him as he complinted: "Brother Mo Fan, what is your secret? It's like you're walking without any pressure"
Mo Fan rubbed the back of his head bashfully as he was about to answer, however, he saw Luo Can's eyes widen and his mouth open to shout: "Brother Mo Fan, Watch out!"
Mo Fan didn't know but he felt an incoming attack behind his back as he rolled forward to dodge it.
It was then that his gaze fell on the attacker, however, he didn't recognize him.
"Who are you and why did you attack for no reason?" He asked with a glare filled with anger.
However, the man just sneered at him in response: "You don't need to know!"
At this mont four more n appeared and surrounded him.
Mo Fan took a defensive stance, ready to engage.
"Attack!" The attacker shouted before pouncing at Mo Fan along with the other four n.
Mo Fan attempted to dodge, however, another punch landed on his face. All the five n were throwing punches at him at the sa ti. Even if he dodged one or two punches, three more would hit him.
However, he had a smile on his face, feeling the warm current flow even more rapidly.
"Haha, fools! You're just helping like this" He mused, taking the beating with a happy smile.
But, to his surprise, a kick landed on his knee that made his knee bend. Then more kicks began to land at the sa knee.
His eyes widened as he cursed: "Oh no, they are trying to make kneel. I would be disqualified like this!"
Worry started to settle in as he began to fight back. He conjured the Mo Family's palm skill as a purple aura enveloped his palm. He, gathering enough force, attacked with his palm aiming for the man's chest who was in front.
However, to his surprise, the man, just before his attack could connect, jumped to the side as if knowing how his skill worked.
Because if he was unaware of his skill, he wouldn't risk it by dodging as every skill would take different ti to prepare and the confidence of the man showed that he was aware of his skill.
Also, by the constant attacks of the n, his knee was going to touch the ground, however, at this mont, the warm current inside him increased, giving him a breakthrough.
He advanced to the second stage of the nascent soul realm, giving him the extra strength he needed to get away. He pushed the n away from him before retreating to the lower steps, getting so distance from them.
"Just who are these n and why are they attacking ?" He wondered while conjuring another skill. He clenched his fist as a fiery aura enveloped it. The n who were coming at him saw this as they stopped at a distance, not coming close to him.
Mo Fan's eyes widened in disbelief at this: "They know about this skill too?"
This skill has one weakness.
It was difficult to maintain for long.
And it appeared that these n knew about this weakness as they waited for the fiery aura to die down.
anwhile, Mo Pian who had climbed high, looked at this scene with amusent: "Sure enough, Young Master Mo Chen's idea of bringing the geniuses of the branch families to disqualify Mo Fan was brilliant. Let's see how you escape from this Mo Fan!"
Yes, these n were the five best geniuses of the Branch family of Mo Family. They all had a cultivation of Nascent Soul first stage at such a young age of 28.
As these n were from the Mo Family, they naturally knew the weaknesses of the Mo Family's skills.
They had been given only one task.
Disqualify Mo Fan!
After the Fiery aura died down, the five geniuses once again pounced at Mo Fan, continuing their assault much to the horror of Mo Fan.
At the sa mont, The peak masters who were watching this asked questions, expressing their shock.
"W-Why are these boys attacking that boy? Is it because of how easily he was climbing up?" A peak master asked with wide eyes open in shock.
"But shouldn't we stop them? Isn't this unfair? This test is only ant to see the determination and willpower of the seedlings that appear. We should stop them this instant!" Another peak master suggested in a righteous tone.
"But we aren't allowed to leave this observation hall until the end of the test. Only Elder Lo Pu and the disciplinary team have the right to stop this" One of the peak masters reminded.
"Right! Disciplinary Team, What are they doing? Why aren't they stopping this?" An old peak master, rembering about the disciplinary team, questioned.
At this mont, one of the disciples who was there to take care of the needs of the Peak masters answered: "Respected Peak masters, I have a friend in the disciplinary team who told that the new disciplinary team head ordered the disciplinary team not to act without his order. I think It is him who is stopping them from interfering!"
"What? What kind of absurd order is that? Isn't the disciplinary team there to act independently since they have to cover the entire test area? If they are made to ask for permission every ti before taking action, wouldn't that create multiple accidents in the test that could've been avoided?" The old peak master roared out in anger before asking:
"Just who is this disciplinary team head this ti to not be able to see this?"
"It's... Young Master Wang Ashen, the second disciple of the sect leader!" The Disciple answered respectfully.
*Silence*
Everyone beca silent before the old peak master cleared his throat before breaking the silence: "Ahem... If it's Wang Ashen, we can understand his decision since he doesn't have much experience in the sect. It's Elder Lo Pu's mistake to appoint him as the disciplinary team head!"
Everyone nodded in agreent with his words. No one wanted to speak ill of this genius since no one knew just what height he would reach in the future.
Even if he didn't help them, they didn't want to offend him and be his enemy.
This was just what an 8-star spirit ant. It not only provided speed in cultivation but also a high potential.
"Sigh... We can only hope that Elder Lo Pu takes action himself and stops this unfair treatnt that boy is going through!" The old peak master said with pity.
anwhile, Elder Lo Pu, who was going to stop the troublemakers, was stopped by Ashen in between: "Elder Lo Pu, where are you going?"
"Ah, Young master Ashen, Good that you are here. Let's go and stop those troublemakers who are ganging up on a single boy!" Lo Pu suggested before beginning to leave.
"Huh? Why stop them?" Ashen asked: "Aren't they helping the test?"
"What? How are they helping?" Lo Pu was confused and if this was an ordinary disciple, he wouldn't even waste ti here!
Ashen smiled as he explained: "Elder Lo Pu when you announced the rules of this stage of the test. You said that this test was similar to the path of cultivation and the one who would have the determination to take the next step would be the one to reach higher heights, right?"
Elder Lo Pu nodded: "Yes, I said that!"
"Then tell , aren't those boys helping in creating this test more like the path of cultivation?" Ashen asked.
"Huh? How?" Lo Pu didn't understand and he was getting impatient. Mo Fan would be eliminated if he didn't hurry.
"In cultivation, there would be hurdles in your path and people will pull you down. Aren't these boys doing the sa? Why don't we just let this play out and don't interfere? If that boy gets eliminated, it would be his bad luck and would prove that luck also plays a factor in cultivation!" Ashen suggested with sweet words.
Lo Pu's eyes widened, realizing the sense in his words, however, this was a test and it would be unfair to let that boy get eliminated by a group.
But, he also couldn't reject Ashen openly, wouldn't that be like spitting on his face?
He couldn't do that, he wanted to maintain good relationships with him.
Then, his human mind began comparing the pros and cons.
On one side was a stranger, a powerless and helpless boy who needed his help, and on the other side was a once-in-a-lifeti genius and his relationship with him was at stake.
Well, the choice was clear.
It was the boy... Who was rejected!
"You are right, Young Master Ashen!" Lo Pu said with a smile.
