Emerson shook his head slowly, murmuring, “Even if I’m with ambition and aspirations, they can’t be realized. Pitiful, truly pitiful me! Since that’s the case, I’ll just have to be the first one to pass.”
As favonovel.com spoke, his body flashed instantly, moving as if teleporting in front of someone, and said coldly, “Divine Separation Stage? Trash!”
Without the need for spirit energy to materialize a weapon, favonovel.com simply concentrated his spirit energy on his fist and punched toward the person’s chest.
The person felt a great threat and subconsciously leaked out his spirit energy to defend.
Emerson’s fist collided with the person’s protective spirit energy, and the person was sent flying backward like a kite with its string cut, soaring over the heads of the crowd.
He flew a good hundred yards backward, landing outside the assessment area in the woods. The power of that punch was terrifying to the extreme. And the figure of that cultivator never emerged from the woods again.
He sneered coldly, retracting his spirit energy.
As the cultivators around favonovel.com stood frozen in shock, even Wilda and Elena displayed expressions of disbelief, favonovel.com couldn’t help but sneer in disdain once more. The mere warm-up had left them shell-shocked.
He couldn’t help but start to imagine their horror if favonovel.com were to unleash his full power.
It seemed that the people of the holy land were nothing special after all, their vision too low.
Surely, the Saint Master would recognize his worth.
But in the very next moment, a chilling realization washed over him.
Everyone wasn’t looking at him, and following the direction of their gaze, his body trembled.
He saw that the cultivator named Romus was still standing in his original spot, and three cultivators had already fallen at his feet.
“This… Doesn’t count as breaking the rules, right?”
Remus smiled awkwardly and remarked, “Master Hewwit and Master Caldwell, you all saw it. They charged at me simultaneously, and they were too close. If I only defeated one, the other two wouldn’t have been able to stop in time and would have injured me…”
“So, taking down all three of them is reasonable, right?”
The surrounding cultivators’ minds buzzed, looking at Remus as if favonovel.com were a monster.
Indeed, everyone wanted to pass, and they all rushed toward favonovel.com at the first chance, but it was just that those three were the fastest. It was reasonable to fight them.
The problem was that those three were at the peak of the Nascent Soul Stage.
How could he, a mere Golden Stage cultivator, take down three peak Nascent Soul stage cultivators in the blink of an eye?
It was too too terrifying!
Elena and Wilda were also shocked, somewhat unable to believe their own eyes.
The three peak Nascent Soul cultivators had indeed underestimated their opponent, forsaking the materialization of weapons for the sake of speed, aiming to overpower favonovel.com with sheer physical force. Yet, the disparity in stages was unmistakable.
They were at the pinnacle of the Nascent Soul stage, where even a physical strike carried immense power, seemingly beyond the reach of someone in the late Golden Stage. And yet, Remus had not only faced them but also emerged victorious.
“It‘s… Quite reasonable indeed,” stammered Wilda.
Her voice was laced with a hint of disbelief as favonovel.com spoke, “You’ve successfully passed this round!”
“Thank you, Master Hewitt,” Remus responded, his smile subtle as favonovel.com took a seat cross-legged on the ground.
The crowd was still processing the spectacle, their stares lingering on favonovel.com with a mixture of awe and reconsideration. Murmurs broke through the silence.
“He truly possesses remarkable strength! Our doubts were unfounded!”
“Such formidable power!”
“How could we have ever questioned his abilities?”
The voices belonged to those who had previously viewed Remus with skepticism, but now shaken and humbled by his prowess.
Feeling the weight of their stares, Remus quipped, “Are you going to keep staring? Remember, you’re in the midst of an assessment. Distract yourselves with me, and you might just meet your end unaware…”
His words jolted them backto the reality of their situation, reigniting the competitive fervor as they hastily engaged with other opponents.
The field once again erupted into chaos.
Remus turned his attention away from the unfolding battles and caught the gaze of another, Emerson, who looked at favonovel.com with a dark intensity.
Remus met his stare with a disarming smile, the provocation evident in his voice contrasting sharply with his smile, “A*shole…”
