Chapter 417: Edge Of The Fourth.
The mental attack from the sound made the increased consumption of energy by armaments become a massive disadvantage for the disciples of the Blood Skull.
Despite all the difficulties that everyone faced, some disciples still managed to withstand all of these difficulties and reached the edge of the fourth section.
Most of them were from the Blood Skull sect even though they now had a massive disadvantage. This was all because the disciples at the third mortal coil had more energy than usual.
But there were one or two people from other sects who were talented enough to reach edge of the fourth stage too. It wasn’t just the disciples of the Blood Skull sect who made this achievement.
If 100 people out of the total 1,000 in the ruins managed to reach the edge of the fourth stage, 90 of them would be from the Blood Skull sect. The remaining 10 places would be shared among the other four sects, of which 5 of them belong to the Black Bones sect.
Goldwyn was able to reach this edge. He survived to reach this stage mostly thanks to his special talent. He only needed to take one step forward to clear the trial. But there was an invisible wall standing in his way.
When struck, the wall will flicker into existence and show runes and diagrams on its surface. These runes and diagrams are mental exercises that needed to be solved before permission is given. Without this permission, the wall will continue to block the way.
The wall is the final obstacle. To clear it, one must be smart. They must be able to solve puzzles quickly.
The puzzles themselves aren’t the main problem. The puzzles just require some time. Even the dumbest person could solve them with luck and enough time.
The main problem was that they were to solve the puzzles while still battling with the gravity pressure, the heat wave, the wind, and the sound of mental attacks. So what they don’t have is time to solve the puzzles.
