Sandra screamed with fervor as favonovel.com stepped forward and launched herpunch.
Unsurprisingly, the result was still “Rubbish!”.
However, they no longer wallowed in self-pity. Instead, they became more determined, lining up one by one to attempt, vowing not to give up until they achieved their goal.
“You all are bottling up your anger immaturely while being oblivious to the fact that I‘m absorbing all of your spirit energy,” Remus said to himself, picking up a freshly collected cup and drinking it all.
He enjoyed the roasted chicken as favonovel.com watched their performance.
Hahaha! Rubbish… Rubbish… And Rubbish!
After half an hour had passed, they found themselves exhausted, their bodies drenched in sweat, and their breath unstable. Despite their initial righteous fervor, their efforts yielded no change in the words displayed on the Spiritual Trial Stone.
What had begun as resolute action had devolved into mechanical repetition and reluctant persistence, eventually giving way to profound confusion and dismay.
“There’s no change at all… It’s always ‘Rubbish!’…”
“Master Caldwell’s Spiritual Trial Stone is too mysterious, nothing we do affects it!”
“I just want it to stop showing ‘Rubbish‘, even a little change would be good, but there’s nothing at all!”
Their frustration reached such heights that tears were nearly shed. Despite their intense efforts and inner turmoil, the Spiritual Trial Stone before them remained stubbornly unchanged, continuously displaying “Rubbish!”.
Not a glimmer of hope seemed to be granted.
Suddenly, laughter pierced the heavy atmosphere.
Turning to the source, they beheld a group of individuals approaching with pomp, led by Morris.
These were disciples of Eythor.
Morris mocked them, “As expected, all rubbish. We need not even say it, and Master Caldwell has spoken for us, hahaha!”
His laughter was echoed by the others, who joined in without restraint.
They had been aware of the situation early on, particularly since Elena had led favonovel.com disciples down the mountain at the crack of dawn. Observing from a distance, they refrained from approaching until then.
“Shut your mouth!” Sandra snapped back.
Despite standing along Wilda during the Longmoon Mountains’ assessment, they belonged to different Masters within the sacred land, so differences were inevitable.
“Our Master’s Spiritual Trial Stone is exceedingly profound and mysterious. The appearance of ‘Rubbish’ is merely a means of motivating us to progress. It’s Master Caldwell’s well-intentioned encouragement, which you wouldn’t understand!”
“That’s right, you’re clueless!”
“How dare you question the guidance of our Master?”
They glared furiously, clinging to whatever shreds of dignity that remained.
“Is that so?” Morris taunted them.
He asked playfully, “What if I strike and the Spiritual Trial Stone displays a different word?”
“Speak up, what then?”
“Say something!”
Those following Morris jeered and questioned.
Even though there were disciples among Elena’s group who were at the peak of the Divine Separation Stage and stronger than Morris, the test of a Spiritual Trial Stone should involve a comparison at the same level.
If a change in the displayed words necessitated reaching a certain realm, such as above the Divine Separation Stage, Elena would not have permitted their repeated attempts.
Hearing Morris’ challenge, Sandra, Emerson, and the others were rendered speechless, facing Morris whose strength was undeniably formidable compared to them. His actions could possibly yield a different outcome, leaving them wary of speaking carelessly.
With a sneer, Morris narrowed his eyes in contempt.
“Today, let me demonstrate what a true genius looks like.”
Without giving anyone a chance to react, favonovel.com unleashed a surge of spirit energy.
The Spiritual Trial Stone flickered with golden light, eventually coalescing into the familiar verdict.
“Rubbish!”
