Chapter 113: Advancing to the Seventh Gate (1) (1/2)
”It's starting! The betting girl is starting to climb again!” The crowd started to buzz again.
”What is her cultivation base, anyway? 6th level of Qi Transformation stage? Can she do it?” One cultivator expressed his doubt.
The female cultivator beside him stared at Snowy in admiration, and proclaimed, ”Well, it's not easy! But she is the youngest Sword Grandmaster in Eastern Region, I think she can do it.”
Most of the spectators didn't share her confidence but they were eager to watch a miracle happened.
”Let's hope so…”
***
Snowy walked into the next stair set in a carefree manner. The pressure applied on the fifth stairs set was at least equal to the full strength of the peak Qi Transformation stage, nevertheless, with her physical strength that was comparable to peak Qi Transformation Spirit Beast, she only felt like having a nice massage.
36th step, 37th step, 38th step….
Snowy was reaching the top of the fifth stairs set in no time.
***
One step more she would reach the fifth gate.
”Freak, she is too devilish! Reaching the fifth gate is like a casual stroll for her!”
”How can she do it? Is she even feeling the suppression?”
The crowd went ballistic, and their excitement reached its peak. No eyes could move from Snowy's figure.
***
As Snowy arrived at the fifth gate, the sword intents within were starting to activate, trying to hack her into pieces.
Her sword intent soared and instantly engaged with those sword intents, absorbing them to further strengthen itself.
Three thousand swords phenomena that automatically appeared when Snowy was utilizing her sword intent became more vivid, its presence became more profound.
Five minutes later, Snowy began to tread the next stair set.
***
Many gulping sounds could be heard amidst the crowd. If it was possible for their eyes to jump out from their socket from the shock, the watching platform would have been littered by many pairs of eyeballs.
All of them had a stupid expression on their face.
”…. And the fifth gate is passed just like that. She is not even sweating…” mumbled one of the cultivators silently.
”Is she at the same level as Legacy Disciple Zi Ling and Sect Master?” asked a cultivator to her friend whose mouth still wide opened, still not recovered from the shock.
”M-maybe? But, even if she can't go that far, she is already showing her unimaginable talent! The Heaven Sword Sect will acquire yet another Supreme Genius!”
”The next stairs set's suppression is at least at the peak lower-level of Golden Core stage. Let's see… how far can she go…”
***
Snowy started to feel the pressure upon her body, her physical strength alone seemed to not be able to bear with it. The Primordial Qi within her body immediately gushed out, protecting her from the suppression.
Although her essence was only at peak Qi Transformation Stage, the quantity and quality of her spiritual Qi was far exceeding the ordinary spiritual Qi. She only exerted around 5% of her total Qi to negate the impact of the suppression.
46th step, 47th step, 48th step….
She spent a little bit more time reaching the sixth gate compared to before. But still, her effort to move forward was negligible.
