Apotheosis

Normally, Zachary would just leave the platform after failing. But today he was eager to stay and watch how far Zen could go.

The groups of Magnetic Aurora emerged continuously with an increasing number, but Zen still unhurriedly chopped them.

25th wave of Magnetic Aurora...

30...

40...

50...

These shots of Magnetic Aurora rushed to Zen in large numbers. When Zachary saw the numbers of Magnetic Aurora, he felt his body froze. Zen, on the other hand, continued to cut them all. Zachary couldn't help but think that this guy had no limits at all.

When the sixtieth group of Magnetic Aurora came, Zen started to feel burnt out and he was slowing down.

"The Magnetic Aurora is just sensitive to the sword intent. Even if I have the sword radiance of the Streamer Sword, I still can't cut fast enough." Zen frowned. This meant that he still hadn't comprehended the sword intent to an acceptable level.

The sword was the top-ranked among weapons, and with its sharp blade, it could cut through anything.

Any swordsmanship skill wasn't only dependent on body strength. They were mainly pushed by the sword intent to release the sharp cutting force.

'What should I do to sharpen the sword intent more?'

After feeling the pressure, Zen finally started to think about it.

'Break! Break it!'

Zen swung his sword and cut through three shots of Magnetic Aurora in an instant, but more came rushing to him from far away.

Zachary looked at those shots of Magnetic Aurora and thought, 'It seems that Zen can't stand it anymore. There are too many shots of Magnetic Aurora. However, he has resisted more than 60 groups when it is just his first time and with the strength at only Grade 2 of the nature level. The strength is unprecedented. I think a second one can't be found in Cloud Sect even from ancient times!'

Zachary was born in a noble clan with a broad vision on things, but he made such a conclusion. He thought it was difficult even for the powerful geniuses to make the same record as Zen.

After swinging his sword crazily, Zen managed to resist the 60th group of the Magnetic Aurora. But one shot of the Magnetic Aurora almost knocked the crystal ball, so Zachary estimated that the next group would probably leave a crack on the ball. With this trend, Zen wouldn't be able to resist the 63rd group.

If that happened, that would be the most satisfying things for Zen. So, Zachary just sat aside and waited.

After

00 waves of Magnetic Aurora, there was no more movement on the platform.

"Gee? 100 is the limit?" asked Zen surprisingly.

Zachary got used to Zen's uncharacteristic expression. He nodded and said in a trembling voice, "The limit of the Level 8 difficulty is 100, but there were only a few people that could reach 100."

Any cultivator would try his best to perfect his sword intent.

For example, Zachary thought the difficulty of Level 8 was most suitable to cultivate his sword intent, so he kept practicing in this difficulty level. If he could resist 40 to 50 shots of Magnetic Aurora and felt that it had been successful, he would move to the next level of difficulty.

Meanwhile, at the gate, the steward suddenly heard a loud noise from the array plate behind.

"This noise… It's impossible. Has anyone resisted all 100?"

The steward got curious. Few people could be so persistent. The ones at the realm of consummation could break a certain level of difficulty, but they wouldn't do such a job which could consume much strength. They would prefer to challenge a higher-level difficulty.

When the steward picked up the array plate to look, he found that someone had resisted 100 on the Level 8 difficulty. He remembered that there were only two people who chose the Level 8 difficulty today– Zachary and an outer disciple named Zen.

Zachary often practiced on the Seven Star Sword Light Platform, and this steward was quite familiar about his strength and knew that he couldn't pass more than 30 shots of Magnetic Aurora.

Could it be that outer disciple named Zen? The steward's eyes widened in disbelief.
