Chapter 44 Getting Into The Intermediary Contest


    It was around 3 o''clock in the afternoon when Zachary took his speed test with the other four disciples.


    They all stood at the starting line of the training ground. The field was surrounded by disciples of the


    Welkin Sect. They began to whisper when they saw Zachary.


    "Rumor has it that Zachary, the loser, smashed the stone in the strength test."


    "Really?"


    "I think it''s just a rumor. Do you really think that he has the capacity to smash a huge stone on his own?


    I heard that something went wrong during the test."


    Everyone present talked about the strength test because of the unusual results.

    A gong rang out and the speed test began.


    The four disciples activated Cloud Pace to improve their speed and take the lead.


    Zachary stood watching the four disciples as they sped off as if he was one of the audience.


    The disciples watching the event unfold all stared incredulously at him. They were all very confused.


    A few momentster, Zachary finally began to run off. The crowd watched him until he turned a corner


    where he suddenly disappeared.


    Half an hourter, the onlookers started to wonder who would get back with the gs first. There were


    only ten gs, and whoever got five of them first would definitely pass the test.


    An hourter, someone appeared within sight of the spectators.


    "Someone is on the way back!"


    "Wow, that''s fast! Did he get five gs?"


    "I bet that''s the senior at the Earth Level."


    Everyone was eager to know who was able to finish the test so soon.


    As the figure came closer to the crowd, everyone was surprised to see who he was. Carrying ten gs,


    Zachary walked towards the crowd triumphantly, acting like a conquering hero. Meanwhile, the other


    four disciples were nowhere in sight.


    Zachary walked back to the starting line slowly. He threw ten gs to the ground, and then pped his


    hands before raising them at the same time. "Done!" he eximed at the crowd who watched him with


    complete disbelief.


    Everyone present was so shocked that they didn''t know how to react. Even though Zachary was the


    last one to set out, he got back first. And to everyone''s surprise, he carried back ten gs. They all


    wondered how he was able to do it.


    What they didn''t know was that Zachary collected all the gs in less than an hour. He even had time to


    shower after he collected all the gs.


    The onlookers discussed what happened with each other and tried to figure out how it was possible. A


    few minutester, the other four disciples returned one by one. Their dark faces revealed that


    something was wrong. "I couldn''t find any of the gs! Did someone forget to nt them?"


    "Something is wrong!"


    "None of us could find any of the gs!"


    They were shocked to see ten gs lying on the ground when they returned to the starting line.


    "Who brought the gs back?" the disciple at the Earth Level asked.


    All the disciples of the Welkin Sect turned their head towards Zachary, who yawned and stretched


    under a tree.


    "Zachary? How is that possible? I didn''t even see him on our way to collect the gs!" the disciples at


    the Earth Level shouted in disbelief.


    "Yes, I didn''t run into him either. How could he collect all the gs before us?" the other disciples


    agreed.


    "Guys, that is not true. I walked past you all very slowly. Didn''t you see me?" Zachary replied. He


    turned to one of the disciples at the Mortal level and continued, "I saw you peeing in the bush. I have to


    say that, your penis seems to be a little smaller than normal. It''s like the head of a turtle."


    The face of the disciple turned red when he heard Zachary''s words.


    The crowdughed out loudly and uncontrobly.


    "How is this possible? He definitely cheated!" the disciple at the Earth Level said angrily. He still


    couldn''t believe the result.


    Since the other four disciples doubted the result of the test, someone reported it to Lewis. Then Gray,


    one of the stewards, was sent to go to the training ground to find out what was wrong. He frowned


    when he found out that it was Zachary again.


    Gary stared at Zachary when he heard about what had happened. He thought that Zachary might have


    smashed the stone because of luck, but collecting all the gs in such a short time wasn''t something


    that someone could achieve through luck.


    "Zachary, you can''t use any martial energy. You aren''t supposed to outrun the other four disciples,"


    Gary said.


    "What can I say? Maybe they ran so slowly that they can''t catch me even though I can''t use martial


    energy," Zachary replied with a smile and then shrugged.


    It was tough to handle such a situation. Gary confirmed that there was nothing wrong with the gs.


    Each g had been guarded by disciples, and the disciples confirmed that a man indeed had pulled the


    gs up in front of them. Unfortunately, the man had moved so fast that they hadn''t been able to see


    his face clearly.


    Since nothing like this happened before, Gary decided to ask for Lewis'' and the other stewards''


    opinions about the matter.


    "It''s Zachary again? What happened?" one of the stewards asked. All the stewards were surprised to


    hear Zachary''s name again.


    "Master Lewis, it''s really odd. I went and checked. There is no evidence of someone cheating during


    the test and it''s also impossible for Zachary to cheat in that test, but he indeed collected all the gs


    before the other four disciples. It''s so weird!" said Gary, rather doubtfully.


    "Since there is no evidence of cheating, we should honor the result," Lewis said. His face was both


    grim and serious.


    "But the other disciples refuse to ept the result," Gary replied.


    "Tell them to present evidence if they refuse to ept the result," Lewis replied.


    "Understood!" Gary bowed to Lewis and then exited.


    "Master Sara, what do you think about this matter?" Lewis turned to Sara and asked.


    "Nothing special," Sara replied in a dismissive tone as she shook her head slowly. Her eyes glinted but


    it was barely noticeable.


    Gary announced the result upon his return to the training ground. As expected, many disciples tried to


    protest, especially the four disciples who were in the same group with Zachary.


    "Master Lewis said that you can present evidence of cheating if you don''t ept the result. If you can''t,


    please ept that your skills are just not as good as his!" Gary said in a serious tone.


    All the disciples remained silent after hearing Gary''s words.


    Zachary won the first ce in the speed test. Since the other four disciples in the group didn''t get any


    gs, they were all tied for second ce. This meant that even if Zachary decided not to take thest


    test, he would be able to get into the intermediary contest.


    The result caused uproar among the disciples of the Welkin Sect. No one expected that it would be


    Zachary, the loser, who would get into the intermediary contest.


    Only the top two from each group made it to the intermediary contest. This was equivalent to only


    twenty-six disciples entering the intermediary contest, and Zachary was one of them. Twenty disciples


    at the Earth Level had attended the preliminary contest, and all of them were able to get into the


    intermediary contest. Other than Zachary, the other five disciples were at the premium stage of the


    Mortal Level.


    Zachary became the first disciple at the primary stage of the Mortal Level that was able to get into the


    intermediary contest in the Welkin Sect''s history.
