Chapter 22: Good Thing This Young Master Is Quick Witted! (2/2)
“Were you beaten stupid? Boss, don’t scare me!” Xia Liuhui hurriedly asked.
“Wait awhile for me, I’ve got something to do at the Hall of Limits. Once I finish it, I’ll treat you to all you can imagine at the restaurant, I promise!” Xiang Shaoyun said extremely confidently before sprinting headfirst to the Hall of Limits.
“F*ck, I almost forgot I have no points left! Good thing this young master is quick witted!” Xiang Shaoyun sighed in relief. If they really had gone to the restaurant only to find out that he was completely broke, it would be a source of great embarra.s.sment. He had to go to the Hall of Limits and challenge the second room for more points.
“Something to do at the Hall of Limits? He can’t be going to challenge the first room, right?” Mei Lianhua speculated.
“That should be the case! With his current strength, it should be just right for him to challenge the first room. Why don’t we go take a look?” Mo Buhui suggested to the group.
“Boss is definitely not going to challenge the first room. He should be going for the second room!” Xia Liuhui replied with absolute certainty.
“For real?!” Lu Xiaoqing asked, full of astonishment.
“Of course it’s real! Boss mentioned to me before that he had already cleared the first room!” Xia Liuhui proudly replied.
“Then all the more we should go and take a look! I’ve been wanting to challenge the second room for a while now!” Mo Buhui spiritedly said.
As such, the group of them followed closely behind. By the time they arrived at the Hall of Limits, Xiang Shaoyun had already entered the second room.
“Revered overseer, is Xiang Shaoyun challenging the second room?” Mei Lianhui asked the overseer in charge.
Nodding his head, the overseer replied, “Indeed. He just went in.”
“As I said, my boss was rus.h.i.+ng for the second room!” Xia Liuhui exclaimed, slightly moved.
“I want to go in,” Mo Buhui said without hesitation.
“Are you sure?” the deacon asked.
“I’m sure,” Mo Buhui confidently replied.
“Okay then, enter as you like. If you can stay in there for an hour, it’ll be your success,” the overseer instructed.
“I also want to go in!” Lu Xiaoqing said as well.
“Since Sister Xiaoqing is so brave, I, Mei Lianhua, cannot fall behind!” Mei Lianhua added in turn.
“Very good, you’re all brave youngsters! No matter whether or not you clear the room, you’re all deserving of praise!” The overseer laughed. Looking at the Xia Liuhui standing to the side, he asked, “They’re all going in, what about you?”
“About that…overseer, I-I haven’t challenged the first room yet, so forget it.” Xia Liuhui tried to avoid the matter.
“Challenge the first room then! You’re already at the peak of seventh-stage Basic Realm, not too weak at all!” The overseer encouraged Xia Liuhui before subsequently adding, “If you’re able to last for half an hour, you’ll have pa.s.sed. How about it? Do you want to give it a shot?”
Xia Liuhui’s expression turned troubled. However, the moment he caught sight of Mei Lianhua’s disdainful gaze, he gritted his teeth and loudly proclaimed, “I’ll give it a shot, then! I, Xia Liuhui, am not afraid of anything!”
As such, they each separately entered the Hall of Limits. Within the second room of the Hall of Limits, Xiang Shaoyun had already begun to experience the trials in the room.
This room actually contained a boulder formation. Numerous boulders each weighing 500 kilograms, a weight that was equal to a normal ninth-stage Basic Realm cultivator’s maximum output, were flying non-stop throughout the room. If one was careless for a single moment, one would immediately be pummeled by the various flying boulders, possibly leading to death.
Any ninth-stage Basic Realm cultivator would find it extremely difficult to stay in the room for a whole hour. The Hall of Limits challenged one to the very limits, and those who were able to successfully emerge would attain exceptional rewards.
