Chapter 188: Chapter 188: Peach Crushing Hook!
Seeing him searching for the key, Shenwei did not raise any doubts immediately and returned to his place and also joined in the search.
In less than 10 minutes the rest of the keys were also found. To Shenwei's surprise and disappointment, Yuan Ming was not among the people who found them.
One of the keys was found by Xu Shenwei himself and the rest of the two were found by the girls from the frozen heart sect.
"Now that we have the keys, you should form a pair of five and go to the next floor."
Since the numbers of the girls from the Soaring Heaven Sect were odd they decided to form teams with the girls from the other sects.
They did not have any problem with touching other girls.
…
With a flash of light, everyone disappeared from the floor and several portals appeared on the second floor of the pagoda.
*Thud*
*Thud*
In the corner of the room, the Ma Li along with the Ruo'er who was already done with comprehending the basics of the techniques looked at the display with a smile on their face.
Being the only one to suffer such humiliation was hurtful but when others suffer from the same thing, people feel better.
While they were enjoying the show Noah and the other two girls were still immersed in their cultivation.
"Urgh!!"
*Smack!*
"Urgh!!"
Sounds of groaning echoed in the hall followed by the sound of someone getting slapped on their face. The sharp crisp sound of the slap made everyone get a grip on themselves in a matter of seconds.
Even those who were not slapped felt their heart tremble a little.
"Oof!"
Ma Li muttered under her breath as she saw Yuan Ming getting slapped by the girl he fell on, who also seemed from the same sect as him. Despite her words, Ma Li had an amused smile on her face.
"That must have hurt," Ruo'er commented as she saw that the woman was blaming the boy for falling on her. Even though it was not Yuan Ming's fault that she fell on Yuan Ming's face with her butt, he was slapped and blamed for it.
Yuan Ming tried to explain himself but the woman just coldly snorted at him before walking away. To her all that mattered was Yuan Ming took advantage of her.
It did not take long before everyone was on their feet and they looked at the group of five that arrived on this level first and started the test with displeasure and hate.
"Hmph! What did they even manage to accomplish after coming here before us?"
"That's right! They only created problems for us."
As some of the angry disciples shot remarks at the five people meditating, the rest of the people ignored them.
Xu Shenwei turned his attention toward words floating In the air. To him passing the level mattered more than wasting time like idiots.
After reading the details of the test written in the air, he glanced at the place Noah and his group were sitting and he narrowed his eyes.
*Tap*
Hearing footsteps by his side he turned around to see the cold beauty from the frozen heart sect standing beside him.
If he said he was not tempted by their body and beauty, it would be a fat lie. Who does not like beauty but her emotionlessness was kind of off-putting for him...
Because of that, he was able to keep his composure in front of women like her. Seeing Xu Shenwei looking in her direction she glanced back at him before turning toward the ranking.
"These idiots are unable to see what's in their plain sight." Seeing the rules, she commented.
"It looks like you also saw it." Shenwei sighed and looked towards the mysterious boy sitting with his face covered in the hall.
More precisely his eyes fell on the hand of the boy that had a black mark on it.
"It looks like he is raising the level of the technique since he has already comprehended the technique." She added while looking at the mark on the back of his which the others failed to pay attention to.
'To think he would be able to comprehend a technique in less than half an hour. I wonder what grade the technique on the wall is from.'
"Let's comprehend the techniques, we don't have the time wasted just like the others," Shenwei said nonchalantly before sitting on the ground and gazing at the technique on the wall.
As soon as he focused on the wall. The figures on the wall changed shapes and took the form of different words and images.
On the top of the technique, its name appeared in bold words.
"Hiding in Plain Sight!"
Shenwei immersed himself in the technique and his eyes could not help but narrow.
His heartbeat increased as his chest heaved up and down.
'Heavens! A low-level heaven-grade technique!! What kind of domain is this?" There Is a heaven-grade technique just on the second floor. There were still three more floors in this pagoda.
To him, this technique was more valuable than the lotus they were here for.
He hurriedly calmed his breathing and looked around only to see similar expressions appearing on the faces of his fellow disciples but hearing many of them mutter earth-grade technique, he narrowed his eyes again.
'Did their brains fry while reading this technique?'
He turned around to see the expression on the face of the woman sitting beside him only to be shocked by the killing intent emerging from her eyes.
"What happened?" He did not even realize he had unconsciously asked that question bringing her attention towards him.
"Do you not see anything wrong with the technique?" She asked with a voice colder than usual. Hearing her words, Shen Wai frowned and asked.
"What is the name of the technique?" He had a suspicion and wanted to confirm it with her reply.
"..Peach ..crushing…. Hook.." with a tinge of embarrassment on her face, Yueha muttered as her killing intent further increased.
