”Hey! You fool There's no e could pass the test Why don't you stop?”
”Bro, have sole any more It's useless”
”Do you want to die? If you do not quit now, it will cost your limbs and even your life!”
The other candidates ca and caught up to those who had given up one by one in spite of all the difficulties The sneer that had crept upon their lips was gradually replaced with admiration
The words came out of their mouths, no matter what, had little effect on shi+ao Chen He just looked down on the channel and climbed up inch by inch, e shout was heard froed to a robust boy He straightened up froh the icy water had turned his wounds to black and purple
Right now, shi+ao Chen had just covered more than half of the distance The faster current, the colder water and the bigger pieces of ice n of flinching, just like a little junk struggling in the sea which could always get to the shore safe nothe sea was
Every other while since then a surprising shout would give out on the top, and every one of theood physical fitness or had learnt Ku Fu before The Dao Seeking Fall h to stop the to them, was like a tiny little loach trapped in a muddle No matter how hard he tried, he would still embarrass hih attention with admiration from both the candidates who had quit the test halfway and the winners
”Ti at the botto secretly
”Finally it's over!”
”What a pity! He tried so hard, yet he still failed”
”I have told him it's useless, but he would not listen In the end he is no better than us”
”He is the uy I have ever et successful in the future”
Both the winners and those who failed felt great relief and a bit of sorry for shi+ao Chen when they heard that the test was over They all wondered would he ever cliiven more time
But tiet them down from the channel Take those who passed the test to the Chief Steward of the lay disciples and send those who failed back to their rooms and later back to their ho a bit of ih to the next level these days, so he had no intention to waste more time on those candidates who failed two tests
”Aye!” More than 10 cultivators suers ere still in the channel Soon only one figure was still cli towards the top inch by inch
”Elder Hu, what do we do now?” One of the cultivators hesitated and landed to ask for instructions
”Hum! No need to ask me The test is over Do you expect me to waste my time here? Get him back and treat his injuries We don't want any trouble if he get disabled because of this” Elder Hu gothis hand irritably
”Aye!” The cultivator dared not to disobey, so he got on his sword and was about to fly
”Wait!” At this h caht came across the sky and stopped at the bottoht disappeared, Elder Hu was surprised to find Alche there He asked in a respectful tone of voice ”Senior, what brings you here?”
Alchemy Taoist, the fifth disciple of the last Chief Master whose cultivation reached the Complete Phase of the Foundation Establishment and a third-class alchemist as well, held a far more important position than Elder Hu in Luoyun Valley, so the latter looked cautious and respectful even a bit of ingratiating in the face of the forreeted Alchemy Taoist with respectful bows
Alchemy Taoist waved his hands and sued to find out if he can climb to the top or not”
”Senior, if that's what you want, I'll give an order not to interrupt him” Elder Hu smiled as well He was only an Elder in the Valley How could he dare to reject such a sood alcherade to the Gold Core in the future
Thus a weird scene appeared before the Dao Seeking Fall, where dozens of cultivators stood and watched a boy cliher he got, the slower he cli wounds covered all over his body and some of them swelled due to blood lost and cold water
