The people of the Hall of Faith crowded along the mountain path after hearing the news. They soon saw the back of a young man heading up the stairs through the magical barrier.
\”That man...isn't he Mo Fan, who defeated Zorro in the World College Tournament?\”
\”It does look like him, what is he doing? Doesn't he know how serious the consequences are for barging into the sacred mountain?\”
People quickly recognized Mo Fan on the Starry Mountain Path. The noise of their discussions soon echoed across the mountain.
The mountain path was soon crowded with people. They stared at the Chinese student who had grabbed the attention of the world in the World College Tournament. They were struggling to understand his reckless behavior.

Further ahead, the people of the Hall of Knights soon gathered at the exit of the Starry Mountain Path. They were able to see the entire place that was covered by the magical barrier, and the tiny Mo Fan, too.
\”Who is he?\”
\”It doesn't matter who he is, he's digging his own grave!\” Hall Master of the Hall of Knights Haylon declared coldly.
\”I bet he's here for Ye Xinxia,\” Kulun said.
Kulun was standing close to Fiona. Kulun used to be Xinxia's Guardian Knight. Since Xinxia's status had risen significantly, Kulun had been receiving a lot of benefits as her Guardian Knight. However, Kulun was extremely terrified when he learned of the latest discovery.
As a matter of fact, he was unwilling to believe it, but he had no choice but to accept it when he saw the evidence!
\”What an idiot!. Does he seriously think this is going to work? No one can possibly make it to the end!\” Fiona said anxiously.
\”He has reached the first statue.\”
\”Not many among those so-called geniuses are able to defeat the copper beast!\”

Mo Fan reached the stair of the first statue. As he set his eyes on the statue, its eyes suddenly sprang open and stared at Mo Fan in return too, with a strong, intimidating presence of evil!
It was the first statue defending the Starry Mountain Path, the Bronze Beast of Greece!
It was an ancient creature of Greece, symbolizing slaughter. The founders of the Parthenon Temple had subdued the savage creature and arranged for it to guard the sacred mountain!
The Bronze Beast of Greece only had one eye. Its limbs were short and fleshy. Its body was bloated like a giant toad, while its head resembled a rhinoceros, with a sharp bronze horn on its nose.
The bronze horn pointed at Mo Fan as the Bronze Beast suddenly charged at him. He could only see a deadly, blue beam approaching him rapidly. It was too quick for him to react.
A small, bloody hole appeared on Mo Fan's shoulder; fresh blood poured out and stained his shirt.
The Bronze Beast of Greece went to the other side. Its eye had a disdainful look, as if it had purposely missed the attack just so it could warm up further. Their Curse had forced the statues to remain still in the wind and rain for many years. They could only move when someone dared to take the challenge!
The Bronze Beast did not show any sign when it attacked. The auras of many creatures would shift when they were about to lunge, and their bodies would also tighten like an arrow about to be fired from a bow. But the Bronze Beast of Greece was half-lying on the ground, as if it was about to take a nap. However, it would suddenly charge forward with remarkable speed and puncture its enemy with the bronze horn.
Mo Fan suddenly felt lost, as he had no idea how to defend himself.
