Chapter 604 Ryan Reaches the Summit

On the square, the Winston couple had been closely watching Lachlan's side. Seeing Ryan stop Lachlan, they instinctively covered their mouths. But then they saw Lachlan act decisively, disabling one person. Only then did Winston remember that besides cultivation strength, Lachlan was also extremely skilled in combat!

"With Lachlan around, Fiona will definitely pass the first level!" Winston muttered to himself, as if trying to reassure himself.

The recent conflict was just a small incident for the participants in the assessment. After all, most of them knew why they were here. They didn't have spare energy to mind other people's business! An hour later!

The voice of Sullivan, the Vice Sect Master of Broken Pulse Sect, suddenly echoed in everyone's ears, "Ryan Neal is the first to reach the summit, special reward: one Energy Replenishment Pill!" At this moment, Lachlan and Fiona had just passed halfway, and Lachlan could already clearly feel the pressure around him.

Fiona, sweating profusely, her face turning red, appeared to be struggling tremendously.

But even in this state, Fiona didn't utter a word of surrender, gritting her teeth and persevering.

This scene brought a hint of relief to Lachlan's eyes.

With a weak body, there would be no hope if the willpower was weak as well. Fortunately, this girl had a stubbornness and resilience!

Cultivators always went against the natural order. If one lacked even this bit of perseverance, no matter how much help Lachlan provided now, there wouldn't be much achievement in the future. Lachlan had thought very clearly from the beginning. Although he could help her alleviate most of the pressure, he wouldn't do it. He only needed to take care of Fiona and intervene at critical moments.

In contrast to Lachlan's indifference, the others who were stuck halfway were somewhat unsettled.

Ryan's reaching the summit clearly put immense pressure on them. Some people, in their anxiety, took several steps at once.

Unable to hold on, they immediately spat out a mouthful of blood and fell heavily downward.

At this moment, the Hall of Enforcement disciples who had been standing by quickly stepped forward, catching them and loudly announcing in a cold tone, "Eliminated!"

"No! I refuse to accept it! I can still hold on! Give me another chance!"

This person, upon hearing the word "eliminated," became instantly excited. He struggled while spitting blood, his eyes filled with unwillingness.

Ignoring his reaction, the Hall of Enforcement disciple didn't even spare him a glance and forcibly took him away from the ladder.

With this person, over a dozen participants had already been eliminated by now!

And after passing halfway, the number of eliminations would only increase.

Lachlan and Fiona were not the last ones. Behind them, there were still three or five figures gritting their teeth and persevering.

"Those who can come here are the cream of the crop among people. But now, they're just at the bottom here despite usually being superior."

"The blow from this kind of disparity must be very difficult to bear."

Lachlan sighed and stopped paying attention to these people, focusing on Fiona beside him.

The Hall of Enforcement disciple who had been following them the whole time had a trace of doubt in his eyes. He had noticed Lachlan after Lachlan had repelled Ryan and the others. According to his observation, with Lachlan's strength, he could easily reach the summit.

It took Ryan an hour to reach the summit. If Lachlan were to sprint all the way, the time should be more than halved! After all, from the beginning until now, the Hall of Enforcement disciple hadn't seen Lachlan under any pressure! His face had always been relaxed and indifferent.

"This guy is exceptionally talented and powerful. He's bound to soar to great heights in the future!"

"We must inform the captain and make sure to recruit this guy into the Hall of Enforcement early!"

Little did Lachlan know, while he hadn't even passed the first level yet, the Hall of Enforcement, which was touted as the most difficult to join within Broken Pulse Sect, was already scheming to win him over. If he knew about this news, he wouldn't know whether to laugh or cry.

As more and more people reached the summit, Fiona finally passed two-thirds of the steps. She looked up at the passing disciples cheering at the mountaintop with a hint of envy in her eyes! With only one hour left and the summit in sight, she still had a chance!

Fiona kept encouraging herself.

While Lachlan accompanied Fiona in their continuous ascent, there was a commotion at the summit. Sullivan, Kyrie, and several elders of the sect appeared.

"Vice Sect Master!"

"Elders!"

Greetings were exchanged incessantly, and soon Sullivan and the others arrived at the foot of the ladder, looking down.

The Vice Sect Master's gaze

naturally fell on Lachlan. Seeing Lachlan's relaxed demeanor, he couldn't help but shake his head and say to Kyrie in a low voice, "What's with Lachlan? His background is extremely special. If he wants, we could even make him an elder. Why would he participate in the entry assessment?"

"As long as he speaks up, he can use the sect's resources as he pleases!"

"Is he playing around?"

Kyrie knew that Sullivan valuedThis material belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

talent and had set his eyes on the inheritance within Lachlan. Ever since Kyrie reported Lachlan's information to the sect, there had been a fierce competition within the seet to recruit him.

In the end, Sullivan had forcibly reserved Lachlan to be under his command using his status as the Vice SectMaster. This was also why the Sect Master was currently in seclusion. Otherwise, Lachlan would definitely not be under Sullivan's command.

However, despite all this, whether Lachlan joined them or not ultimately depended on Lachlan's decision.

Kyrie chuckled lightly and said to Sullivan, "Lachlan has never played by the rules."

"He grew up in the mundane world, perhaps he doesn't want to break the rules because of himself."

Listening to Kyrie's explanation, Sullivan didn't believe it for a moment. He said teasingly, "Why do I feel like he's doing it for that little girl?"

"I just checked that little girl. She's nothing special, and she even had a hard time passing the entrance exam."

"Whatever, let him do whatever he wants. As long as he can join our faction," Sullivan said helplessly.

"Oh, by the way, how about Ryan's talent? I heard he's been taken in by the Deacon in advance?"

Listening to Kyrie's puzzled words, Sullivan, who was still a little irritated, coldly snorted and said, "His talent is decent among this group, but still far inferior to Lachlan!"

"If Lachlan were at his level, he could easily crush him with one hand!"

Meanwhile...

As they watched Sullivan and the other big shots from the sect, Ryan and the others were filled with admiration.

"If only I could become a disciple of one of them someday."

"For that, I'm willing to pay any price!"

One person murmured to himself, his voice full of longing.

"Hmph! Who do you think you are? Do you know how strict these seniors are in accepting disciples? They wouldn't even look at you unless you were a core disciple!"

"For Ryan to become a steward's apprentice, it's a huge honor that doesn't come often!"

"Stop daydreaming!"

Listening to the various discussions around him, Ryan coughed lightly and quickly changed the subject, saying, "So, Lachlan was so arrogant just now. I thought he had some real skills."

"He probably just learned a few years of boxing in the mundane world, and now he dares to act arrogant in the first level!"

"I'll make sure to settle the score in the second level!"

As Ryan's cold words fell, the people around him echoed continuously, "Maybe he won't even pass the first level!"

"He's just useless. How can he compare to Ryan? Ryan was the first to reach the top. Even if Lachlan tries his best, he won't catch up to Ryan!"

"Ryan, now that you've been taken in as a steward's apprentice, you'd better take care of us when you enter the sect!"

The various praises and flattery from those around him made Ryan feel extremely pleased.

Soon, they forgot about Lachlan and Fiona, focusing solely on Ryan, the focal point among the examination disciples. As for Lachlan, he was nothing in their eyes!
