Enter Me! The Skillionaire Says In Parentheses

Four of the disciple candidates climbed the thousands of stairs through the hills and mountains. It took them another hour of walking before they reached the artificial flat ground of hard stones.

The only thing that they needed to tread now was an illustrative pathway with black and white painting, stretching from the start of the flat ground into the entrance of the huge platform within their frame.

Ragoni was merely able to walk straight because of that arduous journey.

Slobbering and sluggishly walking like a zombie, she glanced back and saw three of her companions weren't affected in the slightest from that exhausting staircase session.

"You!" Ragoni gasped left and right while maintaining her pace. "All of you are monsters!"

For Elon, she already had the mana and circulation technique to negate her fatigue as a Nascent Realm Enlargement Cultivator. All of these were a cakewalk for her.

"Jaro has already offered you a ride on her shoulder, yet you didn't accept it." Jojo kept walking with a stern face. His physique and stamina was abnormal for a non cultivator.

Jaro chuckled. "You did a really good job though, Miss Cruten, I can prescribe you some diet and effective exercise if you want to increase that stamina in the future."

Jaro strikes a thumbs up and a smile.

"All of you are muscle freaks!"

Their feet printed their identity to the floor they stepped on. Mesmerizing the wondrous architecture of the wall of a giant obsidian fence with numerous carving and symbols, they took another few stairs and went their way into the platform.

In their vision, an illustrative calligraphy that read' 'Lautus Tunguska' backed with black and white ink animated background as they moved to the vast open space inside the sect's ground.

Numerous shadow fishes greeted them by swirling beneath their feet. From there, it could be seen, and the center of it was the biggest of them all.

"I feel like I've taken a step into a fantasy land." Ragoni slowly spun to admire the scenery that looked like it was coming out straight from a painting. "This is too good to be true."

In the middle of the huge double serpent-helix symbol, was Carla and Guda sitting on the ground, waiting for something to happen. They shared the heavenly banquet dishes and a couple of fruits from the Citadel.

The moment that the rest of the gangs were visible within their frame, Carla and Guda waved enthusiastically.

It took a few minutes for the four of them to reach the center of the platform because of how huge it was.

"Kon! How are you folks?"

The exhausted Ragoni face planted herself on the ground near the fox. "The most refreshing time of my life."

"Yo! Carla!" Jaro put her palm in the air. "So how is it? Did you get any reward for getting here early?"

"Nah." The silver-haired woman kept munching on the cold slice of deluxe heavenly pizza. "There is nothing here yet. The main hall and the east building are out of limit due to the strange repulsive force we encountered. We met with a forest spirit receptionist who told us that we came too fast." She shrugged.

"The mana here is amazingly abundant!" The fox took a canteen of soup and began slurping the content with a spoon. "It made the eating session extremely joyful!"

"Just like Guda says!"

"I can clearly see that both of you are enjoying it." Elon had only absorbed the luscious stable mana for a while and it had already increased her mana depository by huge amount due to its sheer quality. "I've never been in a sect before but this one could certainly attract numerous people across the continent because of the environment alone."

"I'm in your shoes," Carla said with her expression still affected by the lavish food intake. "Good sects tend to set high standards and the mediocre one was never worth it for someone like us as they tend to gather an audience from a more secluded place from a huge civilization like Citadels."

"Don't Dorian Citadel have one sect there?" Jaro sat down and started to ease his muscles.

"Pious Spear Sect, they are a martial art focused sect. Their reputation is good, just like the sect name. A small one, but they are the talk of the week when it comes to the magnificent street performance."

"Kon~ kon~! I've gone to Pious Spear Sect in the past. You can actually join for a week if you want to learn their fighting style." Guda gestured her left hand into a fox with middle and ring fingers connected into the thumb, both pinky and forefinger raised to mimic fox ears. "Their fighting style is reliable for fighting Calamities in short range. It's the very reason why Dorian Citadel is famous for gathering many Usurpers in the past~"

"Hmm, so that is the reason why Dorian Citadel is a go place for Usurper." Carla caressed her chin. "Though, they now came because of the bustling amount of artifacts and equipment."

Ragoni rolled around before stopping with her face against the sky. "My fatigue got healed somehow."

"Because you're being exposed to a huge amount of stable mana. It's just like how a cultivator converts raw, energyless mana strings into mana that produce energy." Elon tapped onto the orange-haired Ferrakhian's forehead and inserted a steady pace of her mana. "The mana within this place is stable, meaning that it has already been converted naturally like how a mana crystal was formed, or using artifacts and extremely delicate magi-circuit formation."

Ragoni who showed a face of bliss tried her best to continue talking, "S-so this whole place is the equivalent of a huge pile of mana crystals!?"

"A high rank, nonetheless."

"GOODNESS!"

Jojo crouched down, he stared at the ground with a serious face. "All of those overflowing stable mana came from beneath this whole platform. Do know that they kept coming, unlike a naturally formed mana crystal, the pace is definitely higher than that."

Out of nowhere, a woman with an armored militaristic attire landed her feet onto the platform, seamless and unnoticed. She tilted her head with a smile.

A huge amount of pressure was unleashed afterwards. As if the gravitation was multiplied by five times, everyone had both of their limbs glued to the ground.

"The bright wind had accompanied all of you, how is the journey?"
