Chapter 603 The Price Of Being A Dog
Chapter 603 The Price of Being a Dog
These three parts should assess the disciples' physical fitness, true energy utilization, and combat ability respectively. Indeed, worthy of being an ancient sect, their requirements for disciples are comprehensive. However, none of these were a problem for Lachlan, especially the last part. In terms of combat, he wouldn't lose to anyone.
There were about a hundred or so disciples participating in the entrance assessment this time. They all looked eager as they eyed the long ladder ahead, getting ready for action.
Fiona subconsciously grasped Lachlan's large hand and whispered softly to him, "Lachlan, I have always been weak in physical fitness since childhood. Can you help me with the first part?" According to Fiona, the first part was basically passable for most of the assessment disciples, but the ease of passing varied.
Unexpectedly, Fiona wasn't confident about the simplest first part.
But of course, Lachlan had no problem with this small request. He nodded directly and agreed.
"Get ready! The first part of the assessment is to climb the ladder! The ladder has a total of 9, 999 steps! The time limit is three hours! Those who fail to pass within three hours will be eliminated!" "Outstanding performance will be rewarded. Please show all your abilities!"
"Go!"
As Vice Sect Master Sullivan's voice fell, the prepared individuals all rushed towards the front with a swish.
Upon seeing these people rushing up the ladder, many immediately revealed expressions of pain, looking somewhat overwhelmed.
Beside the ladder, there were many black-clad youths, the disciples of the Broken Pulse Sect's Hall of Enforcement.
"Let's go!" Lachlan chuckled lightly and grabbed Fiona's hand, ready to go forward directly.
However, at this moment, Ryan walked over from the side and said to Lachlan with a glance, "Two useless people, dare to compare who reaches the top first?"
After saying this, Ryan's eyes were full of disdain and provocation, as if he didn't even consider Lachlan and the others worth his attention.
Many people were following him at this moment, all joining in the jeering.
They should all be people who were familiar with Ryan in ordinary days. Plus, Ryan was now favored by the stewards within the sect. It was quite normal for some to try to curry favor with him. "Boring!" Despite Ryan's provocation, Lachlan remained unmoved. He rolled his eyes at him and then quickly led Fiona towards the ladder.
"F*ck, what's a wandering cultivator acting so arrogantly for? Wait for an opportunity later, and make some trouble for them! I won't allow these two to pass the assessment!" With Ryan's voice, the others behind him immediately let out a sinister laugh, showing their malicious intentions.
Although Lachlan had suppressed his strength to the Core Formation Realm, his physical fitness and combat experience were still intact. So, this assessment was like child's play for him.
As soon as he stepped onto the ladder, Lachlan felt a huge pressure enveloping his body. This pressure made him instinctively want to bend over. It was then that he realized why those who rushed in first looked so pained.
Trying to circulate his true energy, he was horrified to find that the true energy in his body was sealed, as if it had been suppressed.
In other words, internal strength was directly ineffective here.
To pass this part, one had to rely solely on physical strength.
The Broken Pulse Sect's heritage was indeed ancient, and such methods were not something ordinary powers could compare with.
However, this pressure was like child's play for Lachlan's physical strength. His muscles trembled, and his strength burst out, easily resisting the pressure!
Turning his head to look at Fiona, he found that she had only ascended two steps at this point, already showing signs of discomfort on her face.
Seeing this scene, Lachlan frowned. Although this girl's overall strength was good, her physical fitness was too poor without being able to use true energy. With nearly ten thousand steps in total, usually the pressure would increase after passing halfway. If Fiona was struggling already, how would she pass later on?Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.
"Lachlan, don't worry about me, I can hold on!" Fiona seemed to notice Lachlan's gaze and pretended to smile relaxedly at him.
"I've been in poor health since I was a child. My Dad spent a lot of effort to find the Gluttonous Jade Pendant to treat my body."
"But who knows, Ryan's father used a trick to take it away. Without Gluttonous Jade Pendant, my physical fitness has also deteriorated a lot."
Fiona explained to herself, gritting her teeth and continuing to walk forward.
Is there such a secret?
No wonder Winston hates Aidyn so much. If it were him, and someone took Nora's life-saving thing away, he would probably have to kill his whole family. Thinking of this, Lachlan couldn't help but feel softness in his eyes.
From this point of view, Fiona must have suffered a lot since childhood, but looking at how cheerful she is now, she must be very strong inside. "It's okay, I'll go with you."
Lachlan chuckled, holding Fiona's hand and walking forward step by step.
At the same time, a wisp of pure Dragon Energy flowed into her body without any trace!
Dragon Energy is a special energy derived from the dragon kidney on the left, which is not exactly the same as true energy.
Although the true energy in Lachlan's body has been suppressed, the Dragon Energy can still move.
Fiona sensed this, and her big eyes suddenly looked at Lachlan in surprise.
"Lachlan, this is..."
"Stop talking and focus!" Lachlan gave her a look.
"Uh-huh!" Fiona nodded obediently.
At this moment, Ryan and others who were following behind quickly caught up with Lachlan and sneered at him, "Fiona, this loser, can't pass the first level. I expected it, but I
didn't expect you to be a loser too!"
"I advise you to give up on her as soon as possible, otherwise with your strength, you may fall to the bottom in the second level! Ha ha ha ha!"
Ryan's sarcastic voice fell, and as expected, bursts of laughter erupted from around him.
Lachlan said coldly to him without raising his head, "If you don't want to die, get out of here before I can bother to talk to you!"
"Otherwise, I will make it impossible for you to pass the first level now!"
Um?
Lachlan's arrogance was beyond Ryan's expectation. He immediately raised his eyebrows and winked at the person next to him.
Soon this person stood directly in
front of Lachlan, stood on the steps and said to him condescendingly, "How dare you speak to Ryan like this? I think you are impatient!" en.swhovels.net
"Kneel down and apologize to Ryan! Otherwise, you two will stay here today!"
Wow!
The man's voice fell, and the group of people around Ryan stopped in front of Lachlan.
From the looks of them, Lachlan didn't intend to let him go any further without apologizing.
"Lachlan..."
Seeing this scene, Fiona also held Lachlan's hand in fear and subconsciously hid behind him.
"You are really as annoying as a swarm of flies!"
Lachlan sighed, and when he raised his head, the cold look in his eyes was intense.
"I told you not to mess with me, but you didn't listen."
"If that's the case, then don't leave!"
As soon as Lachlan finished his voice, he narrowed his eyes and quickly kicked his right leg forward, directly on the right leg of the
younger man who had just spoken.
Ah!
Soon a scream rang out, and the younger man's right leg was completely broken by Lachlan's kick.
He lay on the steps and rolled over, looking extremely painful!
Wow!
This scene was beyond everyone's expectations. No one expected that Lachlan would suddenly take action at this time. The remaining people quickly dispersed towards the distance with fearful faces, no one wanted to be attacked by Lachlan again.
As he just said, this man's right leg was fractured at this time, and it was obvious that he was no longer capable of going up!
The surrounding Hall of Enforcement disciples were naturally alarmed by the situation here, but they only glanced at it briefly and looked away. Fighting is allowed during the assessment. This is the default rule. As long as no one is killed, they will basically not intervene.
"Well, Lachlan, you have the guts!"
"Let's see!"
Ryan's eyes were also full of fear, and he kept shouting at Lachlan while retreating back.
Lachlan's move made him immediately give up his plan to attack him. Without the blessing of true energy, his skills were indeed very average.
But after passing the first level and regaining the use of energy, let's see how you fight me!
"let's go!"
After giving the order, the remaining people simply abandoned this young man here, jumped up the steps in groups and drifted away. "Haha, this is the price of being a dog!"
Lachlan glanced at his younger man who was still wailing, without any sympathy in his eyes, and directly pulled Fiona to continue climbing.
