</a> Just like that, Zhao Yunxiao directly walked past the fox demon and started paving his way through the tall grass, slowly increasing the distance between them.
The three tailed fox demon behind him might have been snarling at him, but the fact that it did not pounce at him from the get go was enough evidence that it had its reservations about Zhao Yunxiao.
And when a fox demon had its reservations about a potential enemy, it would feel even more intimidated when the other party showed no fear whatsoever.
Given the nonchalant way that Zhao Yunxiao acted, the fox demon naturally thought that Zhao Yunxiao thought lightly of itself.
If you spot this tale on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.
In that case, there was no way that the fox demon would initiate an attack on him without being provoked.
Zhao Yunxiao continued walking forward, not allowing himself to show any signs of concern about the threat behind him.
Before long, his surroundings started to change.
The golden fields around him faded to black, and new colours returned.
Zhao Yunxiao finally let out a sigh of relief when he took in the familiar sight of the Myriad Fields Pagoda lobby.
Looking around him, Zhao Yunxiao could see that everyone was now seated cross legged in the lobby, their eyes closed in concentration.
It seemed that the moment they entered the illusion, everyone naturally settled into a cross legged seating position, himself included.
Judging from how most of them were still in that state, he was one of the first to clear the illusion test.
Zhao Yunxiao’s gaze stopped on the sign that was hanging above the door that led to the next level.
[Proceed to the next level once you are done.]
Heh.
Zhao Yunxiao stood up quietly and walked past the rest of his fellow disciples, through the door and up the stairs.
“Come in,” Rui Tang’s voice answered when Zhao Yunxiao knocked on the door.
Zhao Yunxiao did as he was told, entering the second level of the Myriad Fields Pagoda where Rui Tang smiled at him from behind a desk.
“Disciple Zhao Yunxiao reporting to Senior Rui,” Zhao Yunxiao clasped his fists as greetings.
“Have a seat,” Rui Tang gestured to the chair opposite him, and Zhao Yunxiao naturally took the seat. “Congratulations, Zhao Yunxiao. I’m not sure if you realised, but you are the first to clear the test.”
“Thank you, Senior Rui. I might have gotten lucky this time,” Zhao Yunxiao suppressed the smirk that was about to appear on his face.
“
“
Zhao Yunxiao’s eyes sharpened. “I believe that the test has been specially designed to incorporate different ways to clear the test, and that there is no one ideal way of doing so.”
“Why do you think so?” Rui Tang crossed his arms.
Zhao Yunxiao did not hesitate to answer.
“As Senior Rui mentioned, this interview was meant to select suitable disciples to accompany Elder He on his upcoming work trip to the Origin Lake Sect. While combat strength is a trait that an accompanying disciple should ideally have, it is not the only important trait.”
