Chapter 511 Back in Harms Way (2/2)

Once again, the older brother could barely contain the sha ”Do you really think that the will of an aspect of existence could be stopped by mom���s trinkets? Wouldn't we all be champions if all it took was a damn pendant?! There has never been asomeone from that kind of pressure The ones who succeeded had a naturally strongerquiet

”That sucks” responded the younger brother with disappointment

This conversation had taken place only a few meters away from Daniel, and was quickly able to catch his attention The part that he had found h the older of the two brothers was fairly knowledgeable about the test, based on the reaction of the surrounding cultivators, it did not appear that they were aware of as truly tested when cli the stairway

What he had noticed the first time he had climbed the stairas that the pressure was not the real obstacle, or at least, not asintent present in it This i intent, paired with the immense pressure, would slowly take an extreme toll on the mind of the participants, ould soon lose their co intent was representative of the underlying er cultivators, and formed a barrier that, without the proper coress The presence of this hidden obstacle was the reason why so many people were eliminated, but at the sa cultivator who had succeeded in the past, had been an unstable individual, or a sociopath incapable of fear for their life

As the line advanced, and Daniel's eyes landed on the elders of the various unranked groups ere in the overnor and chief of the an to wonder whether these powerful entities were aware of the real nature of this test, or if they were just clueless and greedy followers of a fifth rank group who followed orders blindly

”Why are you laughing? It isand failing” Said the young wo the spectacle fro a satisfied smile

”Aspectacularly” responded Saha, coroup of young women

The already hurt coed by Saha's words, but since they were not in a place where fighting was allowed, they could do nothing but send verbal shots at her-so that she see

At this point Daniel had spent alotten used to the behaviour of the disciples of the half moon sect It was for that reason that he could not help but to feel a newfound curiosity towards the wo

Saha's stoic and careless behavior in the face ofwomen, who beca until the young woht black hair said, ”How so mouth and careless attitude is beyond roup left you alive Theywo intent he had ever perceived flare up within Saha's body, surprising hi to look at her with alertness Only to see a face that lacked any trace of hostility Instead, her lips were curved in a malicious smile that sent a shi+ver down the back of anyone who looked at it

”What happened to your eye”at Saha's right eye, which for only a few ht blood-red one

While this detail went unnoticed by Daniel, so that only he could have noticed And that was the rapid change in Saha's karative one withthe few ed back
