Chapter 228 - Who Will Be the First?
Chapter 228 Who Will Be the First?
“Perception Beast, crouch down.” Li Xuan suddenly gave an order. Bang!
The Perception Beast obediently crouched down and looked at Li Xuan as if it was trying to curry favor with him.
Swoosh!
Li Xuan jumped up and floated up. He rode on the back of the Perception Beast and pulled the fur on the head of the Perception Beast with both hands. He gave an order, “Let’s go. I want to be the first to reach the top of the mountain.”
Roar!
The Perception Beast let out an excited roar as a person with Nature Affinity was riding on it. Its body suddenly increased its strength, and it sprinted like the wind. Its speed was too fast. At the speed of lightning, it quickly surpassed most people. It sprinted to the top of the mountain, and it ran straight to the top of the mountain as if it was cheating
When Deacon Zhou Hai saw this scene, he was dumbfounded. He stared blankly as Li Xuan passed one person after another. In the end, he could not help but say.
“It can still be like this! Is this considered cheating? But there’s no rule that says it can’t be like this? Moreover, who dares to stop a Silver Rank Peak Perception Beast?
“I’m scared, I’m scared. In any case, I didn’t see Li Xuan cheat.”
Deacon Zhou Hai hurriedly shook his head. He could not afford to offend Li Xuan. There was no other way. Even the sect master could not defeat a Perception Beast. In the entire Divine Pill Sect, other than the grand elder, no one could afford to offend a Perception Beast.
Therefore, Deacon Zhou Hai pretended not to have seen it. Instead, he ordered his subordinates to pretend not to have seen it.
On the other side, on the rugged mountain path steps, Chen Hao walked forward step by step. Under the immense pressure, his feet stepped on the steps and he walked forward step by step.
Sweat had already soaked his tight clothes, but with a firm will, he continued to walk forward resolutely. He did not even turn his head to look behind him.
This was because he believed that in the test of will, no one could surpass him, not even Li Xuan.
In terms of will, Chen Hao did not fear anyone. Even if it was the Divine Pill Sect’s sect master, Chen Hao did not fear anyone.
With such determination, Chen Hao continued to take the lead. His entire body trembled as he continued to advance toward the top of the mountain.
“Not bad. In terms of will, you are indeed very outstanding. It is not in vain for me to choose you as my legacy disciple,” The deep voice of the man praised.
“This is inevitable. Although I don’t have Li Xuan’s background and influence, nor do I have Li Xuan’s Nature Affinity, I have a firm heart and an unyielding will.”
“In this trial, I don’t care about anyone, not even Li Xuan. In fact, he will even feel the huge gap between us. The first person to reach the summit will definitely be me!” Chen Hao said confidently.
Whoosh!
The sound of air being torn apart suddenly rang out. A figure quickly passed by him and rushed towards the summit at lightning speed.
Chen Hao, who had just finished speaking, was once again dumbfounded when he saw this scene. He stared blankly at the tall figure in front of him.
That was the figure of Li Xuan who was riding his Perception Beast at high speed. Moreover, under the terrifying pressure, Li Xuan was not affected in the slightest as he rushed straight toward the summit.
Such a scene and such a scene stunned Chen Hao. His entire face started to turn black.
“Damn it! How can it be like this! This is cheating! Cheating!” Chen Hao shouted loudly, trying to attract the attention of the disciples of the Divine Pill Sect.
However, the surrounding disciples of the Divine Pill Sect all deliberately turned their heads to the side and pretended not to see it.
Chen Hao was so angry that he wanted to fly into a rage. However, he could not fly into a rage. He could only suppress his anger and feel extremely uncomfortable.
“The pressure here can only affect those below Silver Rank. With the Perception Beast here, Li Xuan can’t feel the pressure at all. This place is just an ordinary mountain path for Li Xuan.”
“That’s why you can’t catch up to him. You’ve lost again. You’ve lost miserably.” A faint voice sounded again and echoed in Chen Hao’s mind.
“But, this is clearly cheating. This is clearly a test of willpower and determination. I should have been the first to reach the top of the mountain, but I’ve lost again. I refuse to accept this! I’m so angry!”
Chen Hao was extremely angry. He really wanted to tell everyone that he was the first. However, seeing that Li Xuan was about to reach the top of the mountain, Chen Hao could only continue to move forward sullenly.
On the large square at the top of the mountain.
The sect master of the Divine Pill Sect and the elders were waiting silently on the seats in the square, waiting for the test to be completed.
The sect master originally wanted to go down the mountain to see Li Xuan’s performance, but he was worried that the other elders would take Li Xuan as a disciple in advance and snatch away this good disciple.
Therefore, he ordered everyone to wait on the top, not allowing them to go down the mountain.
This also caused everyone to be unclear of the situation at the bottom of the mountain, guessing who would be the first to reach the peak.
What made the sect master uncomfortable was that he had ordered the matter of Li Xuan to be kept secret in advance. However, after they had discussed it for a while, all the elders had either intentionally or unintentionally mentioned Li Xuan.
Obviously, these elders had also investigated Li Xuan’s intelligence and found out about the genius Li Xuan, which made the sect master very depressed. “First elder, who do you think will be the first to reach the peak? Could it be Li Xuan?” the fifth elder spoke. He had high expectations for Li Xuan.
“No. Although Li Xuan’s talent is extraordinary and he passed the examination for the Elementary Level Alchemist title, his age is still too young. Some people are ten years older than him…”
These older people’s willpower would definitely be more resolute. After passing the pressure test, their speed would also be faster,” the first elder commented.
“Indeed, the pressure is automatically applied based on one’s strength. As long as one’s strength is not at silver-rank, no one can ignore this pressure…”
“Therefore, it is indeed somewhat difficult for Li Xuan to be the first to reach the top of the mountain,” the fifth elder nodded.
“Actually, I feel that there is no need for Li Xuan to participate in the pressure test. As long as he passes the Perception Beast test, he should immediately be accepted as a core disciple…”
“What if Li Xuan suffers a setback under such a powerful pressure and his mental state is affected?”
The fourth elder was a female elder. She had a gentle personality and was worried that something would happen to a genius like Li Xuan. She did not want Li Xuan to participate in so many tests. “I don’t agree with you. The pressure test is a necessary step to train one’s heart. It’s also an important test for us as we grow. If you’re afraid of this test, how are you going to grow?”
Elder Song spoke up. He placed more importance on the training aspect and wanted to nurture Li Xuan into an indomitable genius.
“The key is that he is still so young, yet he has to go through this kind of ordeal. Don’t you think that’s too much?”the fourth elder was unconvinced.
“So what? I have been through this since I was young. I have gone through all kinds of tribulations. Only by going through all kinds of tribulations can I train myself better, raise my spirit, and walk on the path of becoming stronger,” Elder Song refuted.
“Is that so? I haven’t seen how strong you are either. You lost the last time you fought me,” the fourth elder continued to retort.
“Hmph, that’s because my talent isn’t as good as yours. If my talent was the same as yours, I would definitely be able to defeat you!” Elder Song replied gloomily. “That might not be the case. While you were training and doing missions, I was cultivating at home every day…” “The time you spent traveling, the time you spent on missions, the time you spent killing monsters, and the time you spent on training were all a waste of time. “On the other hand, I was taking advantage of this world to constantly increase my strength. I was cultivating at home and steadily increasing my strength. That’s how I have the strength I have today and the achievements I have now,” the fourth elder said confidently.
