Chapter 1996 - 1996 Warning


1996 Warning


Little Zhou retracted his hand, took a step back, and said nonchalantly, “I don’t want to partic.i.p.ate in this challenge anymore. I’m leaving.”


As soon as he finished speaking, everyone was shocked.


The crowd instantly fell into an awkward silence.


Quite a few people glanced at each other awkwardly. What kind of situation is this? He can quit just because he doesn’t want to partic.i.p.ate?

!!

Half his arm has already reached in, yet he wants to quit? This is too casual!


Hong An clearly did not expect Little Zhou to say such a thing, and his expression became colder. “Are you sure?”


Many cultivators wanted to join the challenge. It was still his first time seeing someone undergo the challenge halfway and quitting.


Besides, it was when he clearly could pa.s.s the inspection.


“It’s good that he quit! Then, we’ll have one less compet.i.tor!”


“Yeah! If he doesn’t want to join, there are many other people here!”


“He doesn’t know what’s good for him!”



All sorts of discussions came softly.


Little Zhou’s expression faltered a little.


He pressed his lips against each other. After a moment, he seemed to say hesitantly, “Let me think about it.”


Then, he took a few steps back and made way.


His words drew laughter from the crowd. Think again? Who does he think he is to act so high and mighty? That guardian’s temper isn’t that easy to deal with!


Hong An furrowed his brows and felt annoyed. He had never met with such a situation before.


Those who came here were all that pursued cultivation. Who would be so hesitant?


Just as he was about to scold Little Zhou, his gaze suddenly focused. That young man… is actually a stage-nine warrior? And it seems like he is a step away from breaking through to become a true G.o.d! It seems like he also isn’t too old… Amongst these people, he is considered the top few!


Thinking of this, he swallowed the words by his mouth. If I really let him go, it would be quite a major loss…


Hong An hesitated for a moment before relaxing his expression. “Then, I’ll give you more time to consider.”


The crowd burst into an uproar. Clearly, none of them expected Hong An to really let it go and give that young man a chance to go back on his word!


Upon hearing this, Little Zhou’s intricately pretty face did not look too shocked as he nodded.


“Carry on!” With Hong An’s command, the others ignored Little Zhou and started queueing up for the test.


The procedures later went on smoothly.


He Zilan and He Ziji successfully pa.s.sed, but the remaining people that came with them were all eliminated.


Then, He Ziji turned around to look at Rong Xiu and Chu Liuyue. He was also very curious as to whether these two people would pa.s.s.


Rong Xiu walked to the front.


He walked forward with a normal expression, and the copper mirror surface flowed past his body like water. With one lunge, he stepped across the copper mirror and pa.s.sed successfully.


Chu Liuyue followed Rong Xiu—it was her turn after him.


Thinking of Little Zhou’s previous reaction, Chu Liuyue squinted slightly and became alerted. Little Zhou wouldn’t do this without reason. He has his own considerations and is also warning me!


Chu Liuyue lowered her suppression and walked forward.


Whir!


The moment she touched that copper mirror, her heart rang!


The water droplet quietly floating in her dantian seemed to be triggered by some force and started to turn!


Luckily, Chu Liuyue was already prepared previously, and she forcefully stopped the flow of her surrounding force first.


The ripples were suppressed in this manner forcefully.


Her hand successfully pa.s.sed through the water-like surface. Then, she took a step forward and successfully pa.s.sed it.


The entire process happened in a few moments.


From start to end, Chu Liuyue’s expression did not change at all and was as calm as usual. n.o.body knew what she had experienced at that moment.


Rong Xiu reached out toward her.


When his warm and dry hand held hers, Chu Liuyue then realized that her palm was already wet.


Rong Xiu’s finger rubbed the back of her hand lightly.


Chu Liuyue’s heart gradually calmed down.


She looked at that copper mirror with a complicated gaze.


There was an extremely strange force inside. When she pa.s.sed by that area, she clearly felt that someone seemed to be inspecting her.


That feeling sent a chill down her spine. However, the surrounding people clearly did not notice this change.


The people who pa.s.sed were all elated.


Those who failed were regretful.


Chu Liuyue looked down slightly and thought to herself. Little Zhou should’ve also detected the existence of the strange force earlier, so…


“Brother Baili, I heard that Taiyang Mountain is very dangerous. When we go up the mountain, we can take care of each other. What do you think?” He Ziji clearly waited here for such a plan.


Even though He Zilan was upset, seeing that Rong Xiu and Chu Liuyue had pa.s.sed the test, she couldn’t say anything further.


Rong Xiu and Chu Liuyue exchanged glances for a moment. “Okay.”


After discussing, the few of them went to the mountain. They were not fast and quickly entered the forest.


After walking for a distance, Chu Liuyue turned around to take a look.


Within the dense forest, one could still see the copper mirror.


When she turned around, Little Zhou coincidentally pa.s.sed through the copper mirror successfully.


Everything seemed about the same as other people. However, he did not group with anybody and came alone.


He stood in one spot for a moment and then chose to go up the mountain himself.


Chu Liuyue retracted her gaze.



Fifteen minutes quickly pa.s.sed.


Chu Liuyue and the rest were walking in the mountain, but they didn’t meet with any situation.


The wind blew across the trees and made rustling noises.


“This place doesn’t seem to be as dangerous as they said,” muttered He Zilan softly. To think I was nervous for so long.


“We just came in. We’ll only know later on if there’s danger or not.” However, He Ziji’s expression was very solemn.


“Young Master He, you previously said that the challenge lasts for a month?” asked Chu Liuyue suddenly. “Although this Taiyang Mountain is very tall, we shouldn’t take that long to climb the mountain, right?”


Even a normal person with not much cultivation could finish climbing it in two or three days. It would be even faster if it were cultivators.


Even if there were some obstacles and perilous situations in between, a month was really too long.


He Ziji said, “That’s because this is only half of the challenge!”


Chu Liuyue knitted her brows slightly.


“Actually, you’re right. Normally, climbing up the mountain only requires a few days, and the order of reaching the top decides your rank in the challenge. But after that, everyone has to stay on the peak for a month before the guardians bring people into the G.o.d Residence Realm.”
