Chapter 2077: Downstream Mountain (1)

Chapter 2077: Downstream Mountain (1)

They traveled the length of the mountain, carrying along everyone’s anger and hatred, as well as a great deal of anticipation. Su Luo and Big Sister Wei disembarked the small metal boat in front of the tower-like structure at the foot of the mountain.

At this time, one full day had sailed past.

As it was early morning, the public square in front of the Tower was empty.

Su Luo put away the small metal boat and proceeded to adjust her mood.

Soul Essence was truly a quality object. Despite being in possession of only one, her damaged soul had been repaired in just one day. Su Luo believed that given enough Soul Essence, her injuries will surely get better very quickly.

Su Luo was holding the Soul Essence in her arms, and since she had trained in the small boat on the way there, half of the Soul Essence had already been used up.

Su Luo had seen the Optical Tablet previously to check if she could purchase more Soul Essence, but the first condition to buy it wasn’t something she could achieve at this point.

Only the top 100 candidates from the Genius Training Camp were eligible to purchase goods, along with other privileges. There were narrow strips of gray exhibits that made Su Luo almost drool with desire.

This time, she must be in the top 100!

Su Luo tightened her fist.

Apart from Su Luo herself, no one would've guessed that she wasn’t just aiming for Downstream Mountain but also Midstream and Upstream Mountains.

Although Su Luo revealed her talents and shone on the Distal End Mountain, Distal End Mountain had always been a place which everyone looked down upon. Furthermore, they were outside of the top 300, so even though they were able to get first and second place on Distal End Mountain, Su Luo and Big Sister Wei would still be unable to make it onto the Roaming Dragon List.

Because the Roaming Dragon List only included the first 300, after participating in the Tower of Trials of Downstream Mountain and comparing with other participants could the system give out the final rankings based on one’s own strength and performance in the tower.

As it was still early, none of the assessors had arrived yet.

Su Luo sat on the ground, legs crossed, and soon entered into a calm state again.

The people on Downstream Mountain were much stronger than those on Distal End Mountain, so this assessment would definitely not be as easy as the Tower of Trials of Distal End Mountain. Su Luo made sure she was mentally prepared.

Little by little, time ticked by.

The darkness of dawn passed, penetrated by the first rays of early light, piercing through the thin morning mist as a hazy orange hue washed over the earth, draping Su Luo in a golden coat of light.

Su Luo’s eyes were still tightly closed shut, still immersed in her own inner world, unaffected by any changes in the outside world.

There was a thin veil of cold sweat on her forehead, and her once beautiful red lips were now pale as snow.

Big Sister Wei brandished her halberd, circling Su Luo in strides, eyes gleaming, careful and vigilant.

At any other time, Big Sister Wei would be silly and carefree, only caring to munch on chicken legs. However, when Su Luo was in training, the silly Big Sister was more serious than anyone else, eyes as sharp as an eagle’s.

So now, if anyone dared to show even the slightest hint of malice towards Su Luo, Big Sister Wei would not hesitate to smash their skulls in.

Little by little, time continued to pass. The time for assessment drew ever closer.

One by one, candidates began to trickle in.

They witnessed Big Sister Wei standing in such a ridiculous pose: Stood erect as a statue with gigantic halberd in hand, shining eyes leering from side to side, as domineering as an empress patrolling her territory. Seeing such a silly sight, they undoubtedly decided to bully and attempted to strike fear into these candidates whom they deemed as weak and inferior.
