Chapter 1784 - Successful candidate (4)
Such a matter was simply inconceivable.
Pang Yihao really wanted to say that she was spouting nonsense but unfortunately what she said made sense and plus the fact that her sweet and gentle voice, unknowingly, gave people a sense of being convinced, making them unknowingly chose to believe in what she said.
Huang Yueli smiled and said, “Of course I’ve never been that high up before, I heard this from someone else.”
Heard from someone else? Who was that someone?
For the past one thousand years, those who were able to climb up to the height of six thousand meters and above was only the current Sovereign Mu Chengying…
But Sovereign Mu had always been in closed door cultivation. This lass was just how old, surely she could not have met him in person right?
Just as Pang Yihao was filled with puzzlement, Huang Yueli suddenly pointed to the foot of the mountain as she cried out excitedly, “Junior Brother Luo, quick, look there quickly! Brother Mo Yi and the rest are up!”
Luo Jiyun’s spirits lifted, “It’s really them! Mo Brothers, good luck!!”
He yelled out loudly but alas his voice was drowned among the bustling crowd so probably Mo Yi and the rest couldn’t hear him at all.
Pang Yihao asked curiously, “Those few people are close to your guys?”
Luo Jiyun was here today just to take a look at Mo Yi and the rest so his eyes were fixed onto them while he gave a casual reply, “Yes, they’re my Eldest Senior Brother’s past guards and now they’re all inner disciples.”
Pang Yihao suddenly saw the light. He had heard about this some time ago that in order for Cang Po Jun to recruit Li Moying, he also recruited the Shadow Guards under him and even gave them the statuses of inner disciples.
There were plenty of jealous and dissatisfied people within the Sect.
From the current look of this, these few people were all under thirty years old and their cultivations weren’t very apt. The highest cultivation among them had reached sixth stage realm peak whereas the lowest cultivation was just merely sixth stage realm. In the South Sky Region, such a level was considered as ‘not bad’ but within the inner disciples in Blue Profound Sect, it was really very ordinary.
But they exuded a kind of astute and fearful acute aura, which apparently meant that they had experienced through many actual combat and for practitioners who were rich in battle experiences was rather outstanding.
The examining officer quickly announced the start and the few Shadow Guards all flew up swiftly as they started to climb the Sky Ascension Stairs.
Initially, all those who headed up were swift and moreover they were fighting as they attacked each other mutually as the situation was intense.
But luckily, Mo Yi and the others were united and they worked together to fight against the outsiders hence very quickly, they casted the others behind and quickly passed by the first five hundred meter checkpoint.
Immediately following that, everyone’s speed started to decline.
Following the height of the climb, the mounting speed started to slow down and furthermore the distance between the few of them started to increase.
The fastest was Mo Yi and very soon, he had ascended to three thousand five hundred meters. Moreover his steps were extremely steady from the start, apparently he still had the ability to continue ascending some distance more.
The slowest was Mo Liu who was just at one thousand seven hundred plus meters and because his footsteps were already unstable, there were several times when he missed a step and almost fell down, which made Luo Jiyun broke out in sweat for him.
“Brother Mo Liu, good luck! If you really can’t, just come down. You’re just at sixth stage realm first level and you can’t play with your life like this! There will be plenty of chances in future!” Luo Jiyun was burning with anxiety as he couldn’t hope more than to rush up and tug him down.
The more Pang Yihao watched, the more surprised he got.
Because the performance of these few Shadow Guards had simply exceeded his expectations.
Generally speaking, even if their cultivations were the same, inner disciples’ performance would be slightly weaker than direct disciples. After all there was a disparity in innate talent and moreover the cultivation methods and Profound Skills which they learnt weren’t the same.
