Chapter 12: Forbidden zones
Everyone's eyes widened. They couldn't believe it. The burly man even wanted to shout that this lad was cheating, but he couldn't bring himself to do so because that would mean doubting the judgment of the seven seniors present here.
So, he kept himself quiet and didn't voice his stupid thoughts.
The disciples of the Mountain Sword Sect also couldn't believe what they had just seen. When Jiang Hao punched, they definitely felt that he was at Stage 9 of the Qi Refinement realm.
But they also knew he had held back while punching, and even then, he reached indigo color easily.
In the Mountain Sword Sect, if a Qi Refinement cultivator was at the peak of the Qi Refinement realm and achieved blue color on the pillar, then they would be allowed to advance to the Foundation Establishment Realm.
Very few cultivators in the Mountain Sword Sect, who are naturally stronger in the aspect of the body, are able to reach indigo color.
That's why what just happened stunned them thoroughly. After all, it wasn't even the full strength of this young boy—he just casually punched it. What would have happened if he had punched with his full strength?
Wouldn't they be seeing violet color, which only body cultivators who had reached the Foundation Establishment Realm were able to achieve in their sect?
The cheerful disciple came to his senses, realizing he had to announce the results. He was a disciple of the Mountain Sword Sect and shouldn't embarrass himself by getting stunned by the punch of a Qi Refinement cultivator.
"Cough... Amazing, you have reached indigo color. Not many can achieve that. Looks like we've got the winner. So, thank you, everyone, for participating."
After this announcement, all the cultivators began to leave.
