Chapter 389 A Cultivator’s Journey to the Peak
”Everything alright?” Asked Nilo to Cynna, which had just stopped walking in their direction, and began to take off the daed parts of her armor in order to put on one in better conditions
After taking off the daed leather chestpiece, she turned to look back at Nilo casually, and said, ”I auys find in the other two paths?”
”Two beasts” Responded Finn while casually cleaning his sword from what appeared to be a dense dark-colored blood-like substance He then noticed the new ring in her hand, and added, ”Did you get a souvenir?” On his face was a smile of complicity
”You two see the straps of her new leather ar to, were two spatial containers that she had seen hanging from Nilo's neck, and hidden inside Fyro's pocket
Nilo's object appeared to be the fang of what one would assue snake-like animal, as shown by its thin and curved shape, which appeared like a s tied around his neck Fyro's object, on the other hand, was a red reptilian scale with a rough surface as big as the palm of an adult human
A few hours before, just when the rest of the participants had moved on from the square in the ainst the half immortal puppet However, her objective had never been to simply survive three minutes, nor to win the duel Her objective was to obtain the puppet's ring
Her original cultivation was already close to the peak of i her able to coe, and with the boost in battle prowess granted by Daniel's system, she was able to not only face the puppet, but even injure it slightly
Unfortunately, despite her strength, to re off of a person's hand, a sih What one needed was an extreher one instead Her attempts in the three minutes of the duel had been many, and yet, their duel had concluded in a draw
When she was starting to feel bad for losing her chance, she found relief in the thought that she would still receive an extreh amount of wealth as a reward However, when she approached the puppet, which aiting for her with an open hand, and a s on its palm, a wild idea appeared in Cynna's ers had obtained their reward, she had not paid too much attention to the puppet's movements, but now that she could observe it from up close, she noticed that the hand which the puppet was using to give Cynna her reward, not only was the saers were parted together just enough for the ring to slide off
”I will only attack those who challenge me” This phrase suddenly made its appearance in Cynna's head What if it didn't onlyparticipants? What if it meant that the puppet would only attack within the threeher hands permanently wrapped around the sword's handle?
With this idea in mind, Cynna slowlythe ring that was resting on the puppet's paler, and pulled it off Just as she had hoped, the puppet did not have any for of this test was about
To think outside of the noraer fortune, to risk one's life for an opportunity All of these concepts were, according to anyone who had obtained some sort of result in their life path, be it the career of a hu, or the cultivation path of a cultivator, essential for achieving success
The option to take the best reward possible had always been there, and had Lorwin and the rest of his tea
After taking the ring off of the puppet's hand, Cynna grabbed her reward and left
On her way through the second stone path she tried to check the content of the two rings, but while she could see the content of her reward, which as Lorwin had guessed consisted in exactly ten thousand essence gems, she had been unable to take over the space within the puppet's ring,her unable to overwrite theelse that she was not able to do, was to keep the ring inside her own The object was bound to the space in which they were being tested, and the owner of the spatial ring was too powerful for her to force the ring in
The sa able to kill their own opponents and recovered the two spatial containers forh the use of a body part of the two beasts, Nilo and the others had found themselves unable to open the spatial containers, and had been forced to carry them around, unable to store them away
”What happened in the other paths? Who did you encounter?” Asked Lorith curiosity to Sigg and Ivan, ere looking around with tre hands
Ivan, as he calnore a cultivator of a higher standing, said, ”An Emerald Cave Snake, and a Horned Wyvern of Nuravia”
”Is that it?” asked Dehlila with doubt The two beasts described by Ivan were extreerous beasts, but their power could only be feared by cultivators at the early stages of immortality For cultivators at the peak of immortality, these beasts should not be able to pose a threat
However, before the two could hts by saying, ”They were both puppets H-Half Ireat shock to Lorwin and the others, after all, they had either seen, or felt the presence of a scale, which clearly belonged to the horned wyvern, and the fang of the emerald cave snake The only way they could have obtained these ite their owners
What was even roup had split through each of the three paths As this last piece of information made its way into their minds, they turned to look back at Cynna with horror From what they knew, Cynna could have simply killed the human-like puppet in the three ine the amount of resources that each of these spatial containers were hiding
Once Nilo and the others finished changing, instead of resting, they prepared to follow the path that lay in front of then that had suddenly appeared at the beginning of this path On it, ritten ”Beware greed Be it yours, or that of others”
After reading these words, Nilo could not help but smile with complacency He then said, ”I knew it I knew they were not just casually giving out wealth to us”
