OBS Chapter 2030: Is This a Joke?!
Chapter 2030: Is This a Joke?!
Actually, it wasn’t just the outer sect disciples who thought Su Chen was a joke; even the other participants in the examination were looking at him with strange eyes!
A person at the Great Supreme Realm First Turn dared to participate in the Lingwu Sect’s examination?
Did they think Lingwu Sect was a place that collected trash?
The self-respect they had lost through ridicule seemed to return all of a sudden!
With Su Chen’s mindset, he naturally ignored this, lifted his leg, and moved forward.
"Guess how long this kid can last?"
"I bet thirty steps."
"What, you overestimate him too much, right?"
"Exactly, I think twenty steps is the limit, I bet twenty Red Mysterious Stones!"
"Hmph, I bet this kid can’t even make it ten steps, fifty Red Mysterious Stones."
...
The outer sect disciples watching the spectacle and waiting for a joke burst into laughter as they watched Su Chen walk forward.
They had all passed this stage before and knew how difficult it was, especially for someone at the Great Supreme Realm—it was definitely an impossible task!
Everyone’s attention shifted from other candidates to him.
No way around it, being at the Great Supreme Realm stood out among them, hard not to notice!
A few breaths later, the laughter diminished, and some people looked amazed!
Because within those few breaths, Su Chen had already taken ten steps!
"Hmph, I think he’s at his limit!"
The person who previously said Su Chen couldn’t last more than ten steps sneered.
But soon, they were proven wrong!
Up next, twenty steps, thirty steps!
The ones who had sparked the bets were all silenced, their faces sour as if they had been slapped hard!
More critically, they saw even at thirty steps, the young man looked completely relaxed, as if he were just enjoying the scenery.
No, he was really just enjoying the scenery!
To know, the two or three people at Creation Realm Eight or Nine Turns who started alongside him had only walked four or five steps, and their faces were grim.
"He must be pretending, hmph, I want to see how long he can keep this up!"
Someone persisted skeptically, though few agreed.
Meanwhile, in a nearby room.
"Elder Zhong, look quickly!"
One elder said to another.
"What’s the matter?"
The elder Zhong turned, asking casually, as neither needed to watch the examination constantly, so he brewed some tea.
The next moment, his eyes fell on the Crystal Stone screen, and then, he froze!
"This..."
The two elders exchanged glances, seeing disbelief in each other’s eyes!
Even through the Crystal Stone screen, they could see better than those outer sect disciples that the young man was genuinely relaxed!
They had rarely seen someone this at ease, and he seemed capable of running, let alone walking!
This situation was shocking enough, and happening to a young man at the Great Supreme Realm First Turn was not just shocking!
"Is this young man a Body Refiner?"
After a moment of being stupefied, the elder sitting by the Crystal Stone screen spoke.
"He should be, otherwise there’s no way he could be so relaxed."
Elder Zhong nodded:
"But even for a Body Refiner, staying this relaxed isn’t easy!"
At this point, their gaze, like those outside, was focused solely on the young man.
Soon, he finished walking a hundred meters!
And Su Chen’s pace was still as relaxed as before!
At this moment, those outer sect disciples who were ready to see a joke were dumbfounded, completely silent.
Those participating in the assessment together also put away their disdain because all they could see now was the young man’s back!
He continued to stroll along casually in everyone’s eyes, and before long, he was done.
The first challenge really posed no difficulty for him!
Then, Su Chen continued walking. Nearby, there was a round pillar a little over a meter high.
The pillar had different gradations on it!
The purpose of this pillar was simple: to test spiritual power!
As a Third Rank sect, Lingwu Sect naturally had a purpose and focus for each examination stage.
For instance, the first stage assessed physical strength and individual willpower, without which it’s difficult to go far!
And the second stage tested spiritual power because the higher one’s spiritual power, the faster they could comprehend cultivation techniques and martial arts of the same talent, representing greater potential!
By then, those outer sect disciples had also gathered around.
"Let’s see how strong this kid’s spiritual power is!"
"Right, it’s just someone at the Great Supreme Realm First Turn."
"I even suspect something was wrong with the path he just took."
"I think so too, otherwise, how could he, at the Great Supreme Realm, walk through the Gravity Field so easily?"
...
It seemed those who had mocked Su Chen earlier found a chance to regain their lost face and started discussing again.
They had reasons for saying that because usually, spiritual power and cultivation are closely related.
At that moment, Su Chen took a deep breath and placed his hand on the top of the pillar.
The moment he touched it, the pillar lit up!
Ten levels!
Twenty levels!
Thirty levels!
Fifty levels!
At fifty levels, everyone’s heart skipped a beat!
However, the light kept climbing without any sign of stopping!
Sixty levels!
Seventy levels!
Everyone was dumbfounded!
"Could the Soul Testing Pillar be broken?"
Someone muttered quietly.
But as the words fell, others looked at him with an expression as if he were an idiot.
It could be excused to say there was an issue with the Gravity Field, but now claiming the Soul Testing Pillar was broken seemed improbable. Such a coincidence doesn’t happen!
Moreover, everyone knew both the Gravity Field and Soul Testing Pillar were used by Lingwu Sect to assess newcomers, how could they be faulty?!
"I was just saying."
The person realized their mistake and awkwardly smiled.
At this moment, the Soul Testing Pillar showed spiritual power reaching ninety levels!
Everyone had an expression like they had seen a ghost!
A Great Supreme Realm individual’s spiritual power reaching ninety levels—isn’t that nonsense?
"One hundred levels!"
Suddenly someone exclaimed, but everyone seemed unable to hear, their eyes locked on the Soul Testing Pillar’s light!
All sound seemed to stop, the air felt as if frozen!
Left were only faces gaping in awe!
One hundred levels?!
Is this a joke?!
A newcomer, at one hundred levels of spiritual power!
This joke is definitely not in good taste?!
