Chapter 1219 - 1078: Record-Breaking
Time passed bit by bit.Two hours later, the more than three thousand participating teams had dwindled to just over a thousand.
Many martial artists couldn't withstand the immense pressure on their bodies and eventually had to give up.
Now, almost all martial artists still struggling along the mountain path were panting heavily, slowing their pace to conserve physical strength.
On the other hand, Duan Gujin was leading the pack, relying on the innate abilities of the Giant Demon Dragon Elephant Martial Soul to successfully become the first to conquer the lengthy mountain path.
"Not bad, this disciple's physique is really impressive! He only took two hours!"
The elder responsible for the test was astonished at the time Duan Gujin spent, with disbelief in his eyes.
"This Ascension Academy disciple has broken our record!"
"Indeed, this Ascension Academy disciple has broken our record!"
The elders quickly recorded the time Duan Gujin spent in detail, and after a while, they decided to give Duan Gujin a perfect score.
Furthermore, they unanimously recorded the time Duan Gujin spent as a new benchmark score.
After the run, Duan Gujin nurtured his health at a Primordial Power Recovery Array prepared specifically for participating disciples, restoring his Primordial Power.
Although this Primordial Power Recovery Array isn't as effective as Elixir Pills like the Ten-thousand Yuan Pill in restoring Primordial Power, it is cheap and can supply martial artists over a considerable range for an extended period.
The elders of Ascension Academy said earlier that each person had to compete here, with a total of five tests.
Each test required recording scores, and the start time for each test was fixed.
Duan Gujin now had three hours to nurture his health and restore his Primordial Power.
An hour later, Shi Potian dashed up from below.
Shi Potian, although lacking the Giant Demon Dragon Elephant Martial Soul, had cultivated a technique that could withstand pressure.
Using this cultivation technique, he traversed the stone steps with a score second only to Duan Gujin.
"This person is incredible too! His score also breaks our previous first-place record!"
The martial artists responsible for the test gasped; they previously believed that Duan Gujin breaking their record indicated great strength.
They surmised that among the thirty thousand small planes, there must be illegitimate children of Immortal Domain Immortals, and Duan Gujin, who just broke the record, was one such illegitimate child.
Seeing another disciple now rushing up from the mountain path below, they assumed that disciple was also an illegitimate child of Immortal Domain Immortals.
They privately discussed it, only recording the names of Duan Gujin and Zhang Shouyi, without inquiring about their true identities.
They dared not; they didn't want to offend any Immortal from the Immortal Domain, an entity they could not afford to offend.
Time flowed swiftly, passing by hurriedly.
Two more hours passed, and there were no more participants on the mountain path.
The elder in charge of the test counted the numbers and found that over five hundred people had passed the first test.
Regarding such results, the elders overseeing the test shook their heads slightly.
Based on the number who passed the first test, they determined that Ascension Academy's disciples were generally at the Mid-Stage of the Martial Saint Realm, with very few reaching the Late Stage or Peak Martial Saint.
But what delighted them was finding two Devils among the participants, one being Duan Gujin and the other Zhang Shouyi.
The elders overseeing the test didn't realize that Zhang Shouyi was, in fact, Shi Potian.
Soon, it was time for the second test.
Other Ascension Academy disciples had exchanged Merit Points obtained from hunting Exotic Realm Creatures for the Ten-thousand Yuan Pills before participating. After the mountain path pressure test, they consumed the pills to restore their Primordial Power.
They were unlike Duan Gujin, who had passed the mountain path pressure test early and subsequently restored his Primordial Power slowly in the Primordial Power Recovery Array.
"Ah, it's them!"
Among the many participants, a gaze fell upon them.
If Ruo Duan were here, he would surely recognize that the person now recognizing him and Shi Potian was Nangong Qingyu.
As a disciple of the Nangong Family, Nangong Qingyu naturally could participate in this test.
During the prior mountain path pressure test, due to the large number of participating disciples, they hadn't recognized each other.
But now, Nangong Qingyu spotted Duan Gujin and Shi Potian among the sea of people.
Recalling the events that transpired in the Nangong Family after parting ways with the two, a surge of hatred rose in her heart.
"My two uncles and over thirty elite members of the Nangong Family died tragically inside! Alas!"
Previously, after parting ways with Duan Gujin and Shi Potian, she returned to the Nangong Family and summoned the family's elites.
She initially believed that deploying the family's elites would allow them to easily break the array.
However, she never expected her two uncles and over thirty elite members of the Nangong Family would end up never coming out.
Upon hearing this news, she knew her two uncles and over thirty elites of the Nangong Family had met tragic ends inside.
The grief and rage in her heart!
She knew once other martial artists entered the array, the array would transport the living creatures within, much like her previous experience.
Yet, the Nangong Family threw many cannon fodders at the array, but her two uncles and over thirty family elites never got transported out.
