’But that was far too dangerous. Next ti, I absolutely can’t let my guard down like that... Once I leave the sect, I must keep Bright Mirror Stilled Water - Ripples and the Longxi Magical Robe active at all tis... No, even inside the sect, I need to keep Bright Mirror Stilled Water - Ripples on!’
’Besides, with the Clear Sound Spring Stone, maintaining it doesn’t consu much Heart Power.’
It was a profound lesson. At the sa ti, a more critical question surfaced in Zhong Ming’s mind.
’The situation has changed. Do I stick to the original plan, conserve my strength, and try to last as long as possible? Or... do I unleash my full power and save more disciples from Longxi Peak?’
He made his choice with almost no hesitation, selecting the second option.
’I can’t just stand by and watch the other Longxi Peak disciples die... Before, it was a routine assessnt. Watching disciples go to their deaths while I focused on surviving to the end was a viable strategy, one the sect couldn’t fault for.’
’But now, this is a combat simulation under crisis conditions. In a situation like this, the sect is testing our ability to adapt under pressure, as well as our character.’
’This is no ti to be holding back and abandoning the other disciples of Longxi Peak. That’s not a good option.’
With that, Zhong Ming made up his mind.
’Ti to go all out and rescue the others!’
ROAR!
As Zhong Ming made his decision, a suprely powerful aura erupted from his body.
At the sa ti, currents of water gathered in response, forming into the Longxi Magical Robe, which was adorned with ribbons of flowing clouds and wrapped securely around his fra.
Clad in the Magical Robe, at a single Thought from Zhong Ming, the watery garnt began to pulse with an azure glow as wisps of pale white mist appeared at his feet.
Performing Cloud Riding and Mist Driving, Zhong Ming’s figure was lifted by the Magical Robe, and he hovered in the air high in the sky.
From his high vantage point, he surveyed his surroundings and quickly spotted a group of Longxi Peak disciples under siege not far away. Among them was an acquaintance.
"Jiang Yue!"
Jiang Yue was in terrible shape. There was a gaping hole in his chest, and two other disciples lay fallen beside him.
It was obvious he had also sent out a ringing call with his sword to gather nearby disciples, which was precisely why the monsters had targeted him.
Luckily, he had reacted at the last second and twisted his body just enough to prevent the monster from striking a vital spot.
However, the injury had caused his strength to plumt. Now, under the monsters’ siege, his life was hanging by a thread.
Seeing this, Zhong Ming, who was still in the air, imdiately dropped to the ground. The next mont, his toes tapped the earth, and he shot forward like a streaking dragon, racing toward Jiang Yue.
Flying was generally faster than running, but unfortunately, Zhong Ming’s cultivation level was not high, and his understanding of Cloud Riding and Mist Driving was still shallow.
As a result, running on the ground was twice as fast for him as flying.
As he raced forward, he let out a low shout:
"Follow !"
...
While Zhong Ming took action inside the Heaven-Filling Map, the sight of the Demonic Fiends and monsters slaughtering indiscriminately caused the mouths of the masters of the Seven Peaks and the mbers of the three great families, who were watching from the outside, to twitch.
But since the Demonic Fiends’ slaughter was impartial, they couldn’t complain that it was unfair.
At that mont, they all shared a single thought.
"This lesson Master Wei is teaching the new disciples is a harsh one indeed."
Soone else lanted, "If this slaughter continues, it will be hard for our disciples to make it past midnight."
Wei Jingcheng overheard that last remark and let out a cold snort. "Midnight? Heh. They’ll be lucky to last until dusk."
