Online Cultivator
50 Steps

After joining the other participants near the silver pool, Yusri watched the participants walk on the silver water one by one.

The one who was currently taking this test was a young man who had just taken the 13th step towards the silver tree. However, this young man's face was drenched in sweat, looking as if he had just run a marathon or had splashed across the face with a bucket of water.

"Ohhhh!"

The young man suddenly started shouting as he raised his legs slowly, looking as if he was really struggling to take another step.

The spark!

The young man fell a few seconds later, falling right over the silver water without sinking into the water as expected.

"13 steps..failed." The Sect Elder who was standing beside the silver pond said after the young man fell.

The Sect Elder then waved his sleeve, using his spiritual energy to draw the participants back to where the other participants had gathered before speaking out loudly, "Next!"

A moment later, a young woman stepped forward and bowed to the Sect Elder before turning to stare at the silver pond and tree.

After taking a deep breath, he took his first step into the silver liquid and headed towards the silver tree.

Tap... Tap... Tap...

Silver water rippled with every step the young lady took.

Moments later, the young woman took the 19th step.

At the twentieth step, even though he was a little troubled, he still managed to take the 20th step, passing the examination. However, the young lady did not stop despite having already passed the test and continued to push herself for a few more steps.

In the end, the young lady managed to reach 23 steps for the exam.

"You have graduated. You can enter the gate now and proceed to your final test." The Sect Elder said to the young lady, who bowed to him before leaving the test area.

'So there's only one more test after this one, yeah. I wonder what kind of test it is...' Yusri pondered to himself as he continued to watch the participants challenge the tests one by one.

About half an hour later, a young woman with long black hair and a pair of sharp eyes stepped forward to challenge the silver water. However, unlike the previous participants, this young lady attracted the attention of every individual there with her beauty and domineering aura around her.

"Finally it's Fairy Min's turn! I wonder how many steps the genius of the Min Family will take!"

"Hahaha, of course, he will take 50 steps easily!"

"Hopefully succeed, Fairy Min!"

The participants there spoke and cheered for her as if they were very familiar with the identity of this beautiful woman, and even the Sect Elder who foresaw the test gave her an approving nod.

Moments later, as soon as the atmosphere calmed down and the participants calmed down, the young woman known as Fairy Min took her first steps into the silver pool.

One step, two steps, three steps.

Fairy Min easily traveled over ten steps without any effort and with each of her movements was filled with confidence and arrogance.

Eleven steps, twelve steps, thirteen steps.

Fairy Min took the twentieth step easily as she did the previous ten without letting out a single sweat on her body.

"As expected of Fairy Min! He might even reach 75 steps at this rate!"

A short while later, Fairy Min took the thirty step, surpassing every participant who had taken this test so far.

A moment later, he took the forty step.

However, after taking the fortieth step, Fairy Min did not immediately take the next step and instead stood still for one minute to catch her breath.

Almost a minute later, Fairy Min finally challenged the silver pool with her 41st step.

The spark!

A powerful ripple appeared in the pond as Fairy Min took the 41st step.

After the 41st step, Fairy Min stopped for another minute before taking the next step, and she would continue this until she took the 47th step.

"Haaa..y.haaa..." Fairy Min was panting with sweat dripping down her face as she took the 48th step.

The spark!

Another ripple appeared in the silver pool after he took the 48th step.

After resting for a minute, Fairy Min tried her 49th step.

"Hhhh!"

Fairy Min suddenly shouted loudly as she took the 49th step, and without any more rest, she headed straight for the 50th step.

The explosion!

The entire silver pool trembled after Fairy Min took the 50th step.

Fairy Min wanted to take another step, but unfortunately, she knew that her body would not be able to withstand another step, so she turned around and returned to the Sect Elder.

"Congratulations, Min Li from the Min— Family you are the first person in the last 7 years to have walked 50 steps for this test." The Sect Elder congratulated him upon his return.

"Thank you, Senior..." Min Li nodded her head, yet she looked disappointed by the result.

"You can proceed to the final test." The Sect Elder then said to him.

Min Li nodded, and he walked to the gate. However, he stopped walking after he reached the front of the gate and turned around to stare towards the other participants with a deep gaze, or more specifically, he stared at the figure wearing a black jade mask, which exuded a deep and mysterious aura.

After staring at Yusri for a moment, he turned around and stepped into the gate, disappearing from the test area.

As soon as Min Li left the scene, the other participants went back to silence, and the test continued as usual.

A few minutes later, it was finally Yusri's turn, and he stepped forward.

"Why is he wearing a mask? What a strange person." The participants muttered to themselves after seeing Yusri's appearance.

However, when the Sect Elder saw Yusri, his eyes widened in shock like the other Sect Elders.

'Fifth level Spirit Warrior!' she was crying in her heart.
