Chapter 157 - Candidates Arrival (1/2)

Four of the disciple candidates climbed the thousands of stairs through the hills and mountains. It took them another hour of walking before they reached the artificial flat ground of hard stones.

The only thing that they needed to tread now was an illustrative pathway with black and white painting, stretching from the start of the flat ground into the entrance of the huge platform within their frame.

Ragoni was merely able to walk straight because of that arduous journey.

Slobbering and sluggishly walking like a zombie, she glanced back and saw three of her companions weren't affected in the slightest from that exhausting staircase session.

”You!” Ragoni gasped left and right while maintaining her pace. ”All of you are monsters!”

For Elon, she already had the mana and circulation technique to negate her fatigue as a Nascent Realm Enlargement Cultivator. All of these were a cakewalk for her.

”Jaro has already offered you a ride on her shoulder, yet you didn't accept it.” Jojo kept walking with a stern face. His physique and stamina was abnormal for a non cultivator.

Jaro chuckled. ”You did a really good job though, Miss Cruten, I can prescribe you some diet and effective exercise if you want to increase that stamina in the future.”

Jaro strikes a thumbs up and a smile.

”All of you are muscle freaks!”

Their feet printed their identity to the floor they stepped on. Mesmerizing the wondrous architecture of the wall of a giant obsidian fence with numerous carving and symbols, they took another few stairs and went their way into the platform.

In their vision, an illustrative calligraphy that read' 'Lautus Tunguska' backed with black and white ink animated background as they moved to the vast open space inside the sect's ground.

Numerous shadow fishes greeted them by swirling beneath their feet. From there, it could be seen, and the center of it was the biggest of them all.

”I feel like I've taken a step into a fantasy land.” Ragoni slowly spun to admire the scenery that looked like it was coming out straight from a painting. ”This is too good to be true.”

In the middle of the huge double serpent-helix symbol, was Carla and Guda sitting on the ground, waiting for something to happen. They shared the heavenly banquet dishes and a couple of fruits from the Citadel.

The moment that the rest of the gangs were visible within their frame, Carla and Guda waved enthusiastically.

It took a few minutes for the four of them to reach the center of the platform because of how huge it was.

”Kon! How are you folks?”

The exhausted Ragoni face planted herself on the ground near the fox. ”The most refreshing time of my life.”
