THE LEGEND OF THE SWORD GOD
V1 #CH 101 SECOND ROUND
Teacher Xue Yin immediately walked onto the stage and gave a hint of direction.
"I congratulate the thirty participants who passed this first round of exams and will continue to the second round. I have to say that in the second half of the test the challenge will be much tougher than the first half because in the second half we will test your skills to avoid attacks. Therefore, this agility test cannot be done here. Let's all go to Snow Moon Training to see the exam spot."
The judges and participants who passed the first round examination immediately followed the teacher of Xue Yin into Snow Moon Training.
As for the participants who failed to qualify for the second round of examinations, they were all still allowed to watch this exam. But, they should be outside the Snow Moon Training fence.
After they arrived at Snow Moon Training, they, all participants could see a pool on which were placed eighteen square box-shaped wooden planks arranged in such a way on the pool water to become a walkway with a distance of half a meter from eacheach board.
On the left right of the board is a samsak made of moving thorny trees hanging across each other covering the road. The movement time of each wood is different from one another.
Teacher Xue Yin pointed at the pond and said firmly. “In this second round of exams you have to pass through the pool through the path that has been provided. And you also have to avoid obstacles in the form of thorny trees that move irregularly on both sides of the road. If you make it to the end of this path, you will be declared pass. But if you fall and enter this pool of water, you will be declared a failure. During this exam, I suggest that your mind should stay focused because you should avoid this obstacle while resting on a fairly slippery wooden board. Is there a question?"
"No," replied the thirty participants simultaneously.
"Alright, if there are no questions then I will immediately begin this second round of examinations. The first one was Xue Xianzi. Xianzi you start first," said Master Xue Yin.
"Alright teacher," Xue Xianzi replied then she stepped forward towards the edge of the pond.
He then focused his energy on both of his legs to begin using the Ice Step style.
This Ice Step Technique was created by Xue Xian Hou based on the understanding of the Snow Moon Dance. In terms of speed it is not as fast and agile as the Snow Moon Dance Movement. But this style is still enough if used to just defend themselves when dealing with opponents who have the same level of cultivation.
Xue Xianzi began to leap carefully onto the first board. He almost slipped on landing on the first board due to lack of focus.
Xue Xian Hou who was looking from his seat became slightly agitated and muttered inwardly. “He still always underestimates something he finds easy and can't focus."
Xue Xianzi stayed in place for a while to stabilize her footing before she continued to step onto the next board. It took him about a minute and he was able to stabilize his footing and then he started looking at the next board.
He looked at the movements of the two thorny trees to look for gaps. After the right tree swung twice and the left tree swung three times, he finally found a rather long pause from the two thorny trees to cross back in front of him.
This time lag was about thirty seconds. This long enough lag time allowed his body to pass through. He immediately jumped past the barbed tree barrier and landed safely on the second plank.
"I finally found this pattern of movement of obstacles," Xue Xianzi smiled.
After successfully finding the movement pattern of the obstacle, Xue Xianzi's movements became even faster when jumping from one board to another
The spectators who saw Xue Xianzi's movements from outside the fence became amazed. They wanted to cheer and applaud Xue Xianzi but they held her back so as not to disturb Xue Xianzi's concentration.
On the tenth board, Xue Xianzi stopped back as from the eleventh to the eighteenth board the movement of the thorny tree samsack became even faster.
Xue Xianzi sat on the board and again observed the movement of the thorny tree with a teleti. He focused his gaze only on the two thorny trees that continued to hang.
"Wing ... Swing ..." The sound of the movement of this thorny tree can be heard very clearly when he focuses his mind and is supported also by a calm atmosphere.
After five minutes of observing finally Xue Xianzi started to stand up. He prepares to step forward. It seemed like he had discovered a movement pattern from this obstacle.
When the two thorny trees moved apart from each other he immediately jumped forward very quickly and finally managed to land on the eleventh board.
The judges who were watching Xue Xianzi move from their seats became relieved after seeing her land safely because just before landing, her left leg was almost hit by the thorny tree.
Xua Xianzi stopped at the eleventh board. The audience and the jury were astonished to see Xua Xianzi stop because he just stood there quietly as if thinking about something, but right, it did not last long.
He finally continued jumping onto the next board without any hesitation.
The twelfth board was successfully passed, the thirteenth to the sixteen boards were passed easily. But when he was about to jump onto the seventeenth board he was like he lost his balance and his left leg was hit by a thorny tree obstacle.
His body was immediately thrown to the right side and fell into the pool water.
xxTeacher Xue Yin who saw this incident panicked and immediately threw himself into the pool to help Xue Xianzi.
While Xue Xian Hou directly jumped towards the edge of the pond followed by teacher Xue Yun.
Master Xue Yun immediately examined Xue Xianzi after teacher Xue Yin brought her to the edge of the pond.
Master Xue Yun examined Xue Xianzi's left leg which was fainting and found no serious injuries. Xue Xianzi's legs just sprained.
"There were no serious injuries to Xue Xianzi's leg. His legs just sprained normally," said teacher Xue Yun.
"Immediately take him to the medical room to rest" Xue Xian Hou said.
Master Xue Yun immediately brought the fainted Xue Xianzi into the treatment room.
