Chapter 861 - Li Jinxi's Evaluation
Li Jinxi, who had suddenly decided to participate in the examination for whatever reason, stepped onto the silver water once it was her turn to be evaluated.
10 steps, 20 steps, 30 steps.
Li Jinxi walked the silver lake without any effort like Wang Ming and the others.
Once she reached 60 steps, the spectators noticed her presence and began focusing more on her.
70 steps… 75 steps…. 80 steps…
The specators and the examiner expected for Li Jinxi to stop soon, but to their absolute shock, she continued walking without any problems, almost as though she was not being restricted by the silver lake.
81 steps, 82 steps, 83 steps.
Li Jinxi quickly passed Hong Xiuquan, who had the highest score amongst the others within their group.
87 steps, 88 steps, 89 steps, 90 steps…
Li Jinxi surpassed Min Li's record shortly after and became the new highest scorer.
However, Li Jinxi's brilliance did not stop there, and she continued to walk the silver water at the same calm and steady pace that she has been since the beginning.
95 steps… 97 steps… 100 steps!
Li Jinxi eventually achieved 100 steps, shocking all spectators that had their eyes fixated on her.
"Heavens! Who is that girl?! At this rate, she'll even surpass Senior Nie's record of 107 steps!" The seven elders were baffled by Li Jinxi's immense talents and mysterious background.
And in their mind, they began pondering what they could offer Li Jinxi to entice her to join their sect!
While the seven elders pondered, Li Jinxi continued to increase her steps.
105 steps, 106 steps, 107 steps!
Li Jinxi has matched Senior Nie's record, becoming the first person in the last five thousand years to achieve such a feat!
'This genius… The Heavenly Academy must have her!' Elder Lang thought to himself as he stared at Li Jinxi's beautiful yet tranquil face.
The other six elders were thinking the same, and despite none of them saying it out loud, they were all fully aware of the others' thoughts.
However, unbeknownst to these elders and the spectators, this was just the beginning of Li Jinxi's dominance.
110 steps, 120 steps, 130 steps!
Li Jinxi's pure dominance for this examination was so shocking that it left all of her spectators completely silenced, and they could only quietly watch her walk the silver lake like a goddess.
Once Li Jinxi reached 150 steps, she finally stopped moving.
When the spectators saw this, they sighed in relief. If Li Jinxi were to continue any further, they might lose consciousness, as they had forgotten how to breathe while watching her.
After stopping, Li Jinxi turned to look at the examiner and spoke out loud, "When do I stop?"
"E-Excuse me?" The examiner didn't comprehend her question at first.
"When do I stop? Or should I continue until I cannot?" Li Jinxi clarified, dumbfounding the examiner and the spectators alike.
The examiner nodded his head in a dazed voice and responded in a shaky voice, "Y-Yes. You continue walking until you cannot move anymore."
"Okay."
And without saying another word, Li Jinxi continued walking.
155 steps, 160 steps, 165 steps.
"Li Jinxi… She's really built differently…" Chu Liuxiang chuckled.
Yuan smiled and said, "I don't want to look down on the Six Spiritual Families, but Li Jinxi was born in the wrong world. If she had been born here instead…"
If Li Jinxi had been born in the real cultivation world, where there are plenty of resources to assist her growth, she would definitely flourish and be much more formidable than currently.
"H-How is this possible?! She's already at 200 steps! I have never seen anything like this before!" Elder Lang exclaimed in a shocked voice.
"I really want to know where this genius— No, this monster came from…"
One of the elders there suddenly retrieved a communication.
When the others noticed this, they immediately realized the reason and also took out their own communication jade slip.
"Sect Master, this is urgent! Hurry and look at—"
"I know. I am already well aware of the young lady at the examination. We must secure this genius for our sect at all cost. In fact, I am heading to the examination site even as we speak. Leave everything to me."
"I understand. Good luck, Sect Master."
The other elders had similar conversations with their Sect Masters.
"I assume that you all just spoke with your sect masters." Elder Lang spoke out loud after everyone finished their conversations.
They all nodded silently.
"Then I will also assume that they all decided to personally recruit her."
Once again, the elders silently nodded.
"I see… For all seven Sect Masters to be involved in a disciple examination, this is truly an unprecedented event. However, it is definitely a justified one."
"Hey, you guys want to make a bet?" Elder Yi suddenly said.
And he continued, "A bet on which sect will acquire that genius."
"Sure, but I will obviously be cheering for my own sect."
"Me too."
"Same here."
"Then it's settled."
Meanwhile…
250 steps… 260 steps… 270 steps…
Li Jinxi was nearing 300 steps, and at the same time, she was approaching the other side of the lake that required 500 steps to reach.
"Do you think she will make it to the other side of the lake?" Meixiu asked out of curiosity.
"Probably." Yuan nodded.
"What makes you think so?"
"The way she's walking… I cannot feel any resistance from it. As for the others, you can tell when they slow down."
"Now that you mention it, she doesn't even have a drop of sweat on her." Meixiu mumbled.
350 steps… 375 steps… 400 steps!
"She's only 100 steps away from the end of the lake! I can't believe my eyes!"
"Do you think she could be cheating with some treasure?"
"That's possible…"
The spectators, especially the other participants there, began suspecting Li Jinxi to be cheating because of her performance that was too ridiculous to believe.
