Chapter 681: Path in clouds (1/2)

Sam and the rest entered the single door that was in the hall.

They walked in a dark path and when they could see once again, all they could see is that the whole group are separated and they are standing on a circular platform individually.

Sam looked around and all he could see are clouds.

There is not much he can see even with his eye technique.

All he could see are white clouds floating around him.

Not just Sam, everyone is in the same position. They are all standing on their individual large platforms and could only see clouds all around.

At this moment, a male voice was suddenly heard from nothing.

”Welcome Players.

This time, the Palace of inheritance is a bit different. I don't want to go through a tournament procedure and think of various ways to test you guys.

Instead, all of you will be going through the same test.

You will have to go through six tests and the final test will be held between the people who managed to get past the six tests.

The rest of you will be eliminated.

If only one of you managed to pass, the second and third places will be deduced by your progress in the first few tests.

Now the simultaneous tests you have to go through are quite simple. In a few moments, a path will appear before you in these clouds. You have to go through these paths and face the challenges that were thrown at you.

The path will have six checkpoints which are circular platforms that will lead you to the required test area and some of the tests will take place on the platform itself. Each test will be explained on the respective platforms and the rewards will be given finally.

So, I hope you all perform well and do your best to win.”

As soon as the voice is gone, the clouds cleared on one side and Sam could see a wide path forward.

He cannot see far and even his eye technique proved to be useless in the scenario. He took a deep breath and took out the harbinger to clear this path.

Since speed is also a factor, there is no reason for him to hold back at all. In general cases, he would have held back in using his special gadgets that could make him pretty overpowered among his peers. But today, he came here to teach Hou Yi a lesson. He cannot take any chances.

As he zoomed past the route a few seconds later, Sam suddenly turned hard to the right as he felt a sense of danger.

He looked at the path and noticed that four arrows lodged themselves into the road and they are slowly disappearing.

Sam frowned at this. He thought that the only danger lies in the checkpoints, but it seems like the path itself is also dangerous.

But Sam didn't feel worried, in fact, he didn't even slow down a bit, he increased the speed to its maximum limit as the wind turned sharp around him. The tailwind became extremely compact and created a shield around him as he activated the energy vision.

He looked ahead without a care in the world.

He clearly observed the surroundings for the arrow movements, even though his eye technique is clearly being obstructed by the surrounding clouds, he is confident that he would be able to react to arrows as soon as he saw them within a range of five feet.

And his plan worked.

He could feel the faint energy waves from the arrows as soon as the arrows left the clouds and that is enough for him.

For the first few waves, he didn't even bother to dodge as his speed is enough to avoid them completely or his wind curtain is enough to block without any damage.

In his full speed he reached the first checkpoint within fifteen to twenty minutes.

Sam could see a platform ahead of him once again and stopped over the platform and put the harbinger away.

Meanwhile, within that dimension, a man who looked young and dynamic with hawk-like eyes and long hair is sitting on a large island floating in the clouds. The island has nothing on it. It is just a piece of floating flat rock.

There are several screens floating around him and he couldn't help but feel a bit down when he saw the four screens that occupied most of his attention.

Not just Sam, even his three friends are using the hoverboard.

Actually, the path for meant to halt them for a few hours to mentally test them before reaching the checkpoint. But because of these hoverboards, the path became pointless.

He heard that even though, Sam has the harbinger for a long time, he didn't use it in the previous palace of inheritances. But now he is using it without any reservation which is a bit surprising to him.

He felt like something is wrong.
