Chapter 821: Test Of Will
Elder Mikko looked at Kent and, with a neutral expression, gestured for him to ask his question. Of course, the question contained a series of questions.
"When you said our will determines whether we can become disciples or not, does that include us using treasures like enhancement pills, elixirs, techniques, and the like to climb?
Also, can one help their friends climb? For example, consider carrying them to the top.
Lastly, are there rewards for those who climb faster?"
Kent asked logical questions, and every disciple—though most are too prideful to ask—would most certainly want to know the answer. Elder Mikko looked at Kent more closely this time before answering.
"You can use any means to climb, but I recommend skills and techniques, for pills will burn out three times faster, and the higher you climb, the more quickly the effect wears off.
Treasures like artifacts and weapons will also lose 90% of their functionality the higher you climb. The only things that will aid you here are your techniques and skills.
Then, of course, the most important thing is your will to climb.
In the trial of will, your treasures can fail, you can run out of pills, but you can never run out of skills or techniques, for they are within you.
Of course, it will be slightly challenging to use them the higher you climb, but if you are determined to climb, you will.
For your second question, the answer is no. You can’t help anyone, since the moment you step onto the stairway, you will be in your own space, where the only way to come out is to climb to the top.
And for the last question, there is no other reward for becoming a disciple—that is reward enough. Any more questions?"
