Episode 706: Luck is really amazing
“Okay, now it’s time. The final test of the Hyuncheon Martial Arts Association will begin now!”
With the shout of the great lord, the disciples started rushing straight to the Heavenly Emperor.
However, as soon as they entered the Myungcheonje, the disciples’ expressions began to change one by one. Their bodies became heavy as if they had entered water, and their steps became slow.
I felt pressure not only on my body but also on my soul. I felt lethargic and tired. Instead of going up, I just felt the urge to rest in this place.
The moment Yongjindo stepped on the Myeongcheonje, he felt something strange and immediately turned his head and spoke to the people.
“If the Xianqian Sea tested the body, and the Gu Yu Road tested the soul, then this Xianqian Festival is a comprehensive test. It tests a person’s body, soul, will, and even the desires deep in their hearts, weakening their will. But all of this is nothing to you. Brothers, you are all true warriors tempered by blood. Let us unleash our burning passion and show what a true strong person is!”
“charge!”
As Yongjin encouraged the Dragon Blood Warriors, the Dragon Blood Warriors’ morale soared and they began to charge forward, shouting loudly.
At this time, the great leader of the Bujongju clan waved his large hand. Then, the stone platform under his feet slowly began to rise. All the strong men of the Hyeoncheon Dojong clan flew into the sky.
As I sat on the stone pedestal and looked down at the Heavenly Emperor, I could see every situation in detail.
“I wonder if anyone will get the treasure this time.”
One of the men muttered in a small voice.
Although the test had already been held several times, no one had ever climbed the nine hundred and ninety-ninth step. Even if one had climbed the nine hundred and ninety-ninth step, there was no guarantee that they would obtain the treasure.
“This time there is hope. There are five people who have a chance.”
A rare smile spread across the face of the Vice-President.
“Five people? Aren’t there also two newly promoted second-ranked celestials?”
Someone tilted their head and asked.
The vice-minister looked into the crowd for a moment in silence. He sighed as he watched Gwak Yeon waving the flag and shouting in triumph.
“To be honest, I’ve lived for a long time, but I’ve never seen such a weak, second-class traveler.”
People followed the gaze of the great leader of the wealthy clan and looked at Gwak Yeon, and nodded without realizing it. He was definitely a different breed, and among the people, he was called a miracle along with Yong Jin.
It was truly amazing that Yongjin, an ordinary practitioner, was unbelievably strong, and Gwakyeon, a second-rank practitioner, was unbelievably weak.
While people were talking, five spirits had already jumped up the hundredth step.
Those five people were the four great geniuses: Jo Mu-geuk, Su Gwan-ji, Jong Mu-yeom, Ak Cheon-san, and Yong Jin.
In the Hyeoncheonje, he could not help others. Since he had to climb these stairs by himself, Yongjin could run at full speed with the Four Great Geniuses without having to take care of others.
When Yongjin finally showed skills that rivaled those of the Four Great Geniuses, those who had doubts about Yongjin’s skills had no choice but to keep their mouths shut.
Although Yongjin defeated Su-gwan-ji, people thought it was because Su-gwan-ji let his guard down and considered it a stroke of luck on Yongjin’s part.
Moreover, while the four great geniuses achieved great results in Hyeoncheonhae and Guyuro, Yongjin achieved nothing.
Those who have considered this and that have concluded that Yongjin is not worthy of standing shoulder to shoulder with the Four Great Geniuses.
But now, Yongjin was showing off his skills by running at a speed that was comparable to that of any of the four great geniuses.
The five people quickly rushed up to the hundredth step. The pressure doubled as they climbed the hundredth step, but no one slowed down. The competition had already begun, and they wanted to show off their unique skills worthy of the name of genius.
As a group of pilgrims climbed the eightieth step behind Yongjin, the distance between them began to differ significantly.
Dang Wan-ah and Mong-gi were holding hands and running at the forefront of the pilgrims. The sight of the two of them climbing the stairs with their long hair and fluttering clothes was as beautiful as fairies descending from the sky.
Behind the heavenly travelers, ordinary disciples followed. The ones at the forefront among them were the Dragon Blood Warriors. The ‘genius’ Kwak Yeon was also among them.
The guy was shouting slogans and boosting people’s morale. He was bragging as if he had deliberately avoided the fight with the geniuses for the sake of the masses.
After that, the people who were slowly coming up were lined up in a long line like sheep grazing.
This gave an idea of a person’s overall qualities. Most people had no problem with being pressured by their strength and soul, but their will was a different matter.
The last person to arrive had only climbed six steps, but he felt dizzy as he looked up at the seemingly endless stairs.
The top-ranking strongmen standing on the pedestal were not surprised at seeing this situation.
They too had climbed the Hyeoncheonje before, so they knew the pain well.
When things get tough or you lack confidence, negative emotions explode like crazy. At that time, a voice in your head tells you that you won’t be able to hold out for long, so why bother climbing?
They delude us by saying that these stairs are not as mysterious as they seem, and that all this talk about energy and such is just nonsense.
The voice does not come from outside, but from within.
Everyone has a tendency. If you lack the will to suppress that tendency, you are finished. This famous emperor in particular tests people’s will in every way and makes them waver.
This had nothing to do with natural talent. So, every time the Myungcheonje was held, the students with natural talent actually performed worse than the average students. The superior conditions actually broke their will.
bang!
Suddenly, the entire staircase shook. People were startled and quickly looked forward. They saw the five people who had been running in the front running up the three hundred and thirty-third step.
The moment Yongjin stepped on the stairs, he felt a strong pressure pressing down on him and his whole body saggy.
The pressure was not only physical but also mental, and at that moment, he felt very tired. Yongjin, whose body had not yet recovered, was especially tired.
However, Yongjin didn’t care and went back up the stairs. This fatigue was just an illusion. You shouldn’t be fooled by this. If you are, negative emotions will arise and it will be harder to suppress them.
Woof.
When all five people had stepped on the three hundred and thirty-third step, the space before their eyes suddenly shook and a mass of light appeared in front of each of the five people.
The mass of light, about a foot in diameter, looked like a small whirlpool, and it was impossible to see what was inside.
“This is the reward given to you. When you touch the ball of light, you will grab an object that fits you. Take it out!”
The voice of the Vice-Minister was heard.
When the awards were given to Yongjin and others, the disciples who had been struggling to climb the stairs came to their senses. They looked at the five people with eyes full of anticipation, wondering what they would receive.
“Let me touch it first.”
Akcheonsan put his hand into the mass of light, grabbed something, and took it out.
It was a short story with nine gates.
“Wavelength.”
It was a sixth-grade elixir, the Hyeonu Wave Efficacy, a very rare elixir that could immediately elevate a strong innate being to a minor level.
However, it had no effect on practitioners of the innate Nine-Heavenly Heaven. If you raise the level of the innate Nine-Heavenly Heaven by one more small level, you will immediately enter the realm of damage, so you cannot break down the barrier.
However, the value of the implementation wavelength is still great, so Akcheonsan can give it to someone else.
“I should check mine too.”
Seeing that Akcheonsan was receiving a reward, Jo Mu-geuk also reached out and took out a guardian mirror from the mass of light. The guardian mirror, which was densely packed with sections, looked like a very good item.
“You’re trash.”
The goodwill that Jo Moo-geuk had acquired was useful to others, but it was of no use to him.
Immediately afterwards, Su-gwan-ji put his hand into the mass of light. The object he took out was a yellow bu-jeon. The bu-jeon contained a very thick water-world power.
A bright color came over Su-gwan-ji’s face, and he put it away before anyone could get a good look at it.
People’s expressions turned sour as it seemed that Su-gwan-ji had obtained a pretty good item. Jong-mu-yeom also quickly put his hand in. However, he was not so lucky and obtained an unpopular weapon, a hook. Not many people used this item.
Although it was a legal instrument, it was of the lowest quality among legal instruments and therefore had little value.
The Dharma Instrument is the exclusive weapon of the strong man of the Damage Realm, and has a true pattern engraved on it. The strong man of the Damage Realm can summon it and exert great power.
Depending on the material and power of the spell, the magic items are usually divided into three types: low, medium, and high.
Now all that was left was Yongjin. Yongjin also put his hand into the mass of light. After feeling around a few times, he caught something.
“shit.”
The item Yongjin took out was a pair of leather boots. They were very old boots that someone had worn.
For a while, the room was quiet. Even the vice-chairman who was watching from afar looked at them with eyes that seemed to be in disbelief.
“Yongjin’s luck is really amazing.”
The deputy chief sighed.
Only the Vice-Chairman knew. The treasures of the Heavenly Emperor are divided into three grades. The first grade appears on the three hundred and thirty-third step.
Treasures of this grade are divided into high, medium, low, and trash.
The odds of a high-grade treasure appearing on the three hundred and thirty-third step were five out of one hundred, a medium-grade one out of thirty, a low-grade one out of sixty, and trash one out of two.
Except for the medium-level treasure that Su-gwan-ji received, everyone else received low-level treasures. In contrast, Yong-jin unexpectedly received a pair of old shoes. He received trash.
“I’ve always been incredibly lucky, but this time my luck just passed me by?”
Someone sighed.
Compared to Yongjin, other people were relatively lucky.
“Haha, those are old shoes, they really suit you!”
The water pipe laughed and made a fuss.
Yongjin threw the shoe he was holding at Su-gwan-ji’s face in anger, and Su-gwan-ji snickered and dodged it. Just as he was about to open his mouth to complain again, Su-gwan-ji’s expression hardened when another shoe appeared in front of him.
