Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
As the tenth day arrived, there were only a few talented martial warriors left on the Spiritual Hollow Mountain.
More and more people reached their limits and eventually withdrew from the Spiritual Hollow Mountain.
Inside the Spiritual Hollow Mountain, their spirit, Force, and more could not recover. Even talent and willpower had reached their limits and could no longer sustain them.
Although human willpower was infinite, not everyone could unleash a powerful will at any time.
In the end, only the top ten talents were left on the Spiritual Hollow Mountain.
Even Yue Qiqiao and the others couldnt move forward and had to give up.
Meanwhile, Yu Yunxian and others continued to lead ahead of Wang Teng, climbing without paying attention to him.
At this moment, no one had the energy to care about external matters.
Their eyes were fixed on the mountaintop!
And their minds were focused solely on the ascent to the summit.
At this point, they had depleted their Force, and the physical strength they had consumed had almost reached its limit.
Even their talent was becoming difficult to maintain.
It had turned into a battle of willpower.
However, what they didnt know was that their current position was only about two-thirds of the way up the Spiritual Hollow Mountain. There was still a considerable distance to climb.
This Spiritual Hollow Mountain is really high! Round Ball exclaimed in Wang Tengs mind.
Isnt that obvious? Wang Teng responded with a hint of sarcasm.
Of course it was high. They had been climbing for ten days and hadnt reached the summit.
The academy was quite ruthless. They gave them the challenge of ascending such a terrifying mountain.
Even with Wang Tengs formidable mental and spiritual strength, along with his talent and willpower, he felt immense pressure.
Without his unique abilities, the ascent would have been far from easy.
At this moment, he planted both hands firmly on the mountain wall, and leaped upward like a monkey, effortlessly surmounting a significant height.
Simultaneously, his spiritual power penetrated the mountain wall, teasing the ancient runes within and collecting the attribute bubbles that dropped as a result.
Ancient Runes*50
Ancient Wood Runes*ioo
Cosmos realm Spirit*i20
Ancient Earth Runes*i50
Ancient Runes*i30
One by one, the attribute bubbles merged into Wang Tengs mind, transforming into insights that intertwined with his memories.
These insights manifested as mysterious and profound runes, shimmering in the depths of his memory. Among them were two particularly special runes one radiating a vibrant green light, brimming with vitality, and the other emanating an earthy yellow glow, as thick and solid as the earth.
Wang Teng felt no surprise anymore. After climbing to such heights, he had already encountered many of these special ancient runes.
By now, he had collected a variety of special ancient runes, completing the set of the five elemental ancient runes, along with lightning, ice, and poison runes, totaling eight.
His speculation received confirmation.
The Spiritual Hollow Mountain could indeed suppress warriors of all attributes because the runes here covered all aspects.
Yet, he couldnt help but consider if there might be one missing the dark rune.
Unfortunately, Wang Teng didnt dare to use his Dark Force. If he did, he would likely be caught and thoroughly examined by the academys powerhouses.
His Dark Force was purer than Yu Yunxians. They couldnt be compared at all.
Yu Yunxian was at most bewitched and there was still room for salvage. As for him, in other peoples eyes, he probably couldnt be saved. He could be sentenced to death.
Of course, this was Wang Tengs guess.
Even with a remote possibility, Wang Teng wasnt willing to take such a risk. He wasnt done living yet.
Round Ball, what do you think will happen if 1 master all the ancient runes? Wang Teng continued climbing while posing the question to Round Ball.
Master all of them? Round Ball was momentarily stunned and couldnt help but chuckle.
Young man, you might be thinking too much!
Mastering all the ancient runes was a tall order, not even achievable by a saint-level rune master, much less a grandmaster rune master. Wang Teng was quite daring to suggest that.
However, Round Ball didnt dare to provoke Wang Teng.
Climbing the Spiritual Hollow Mountain was already irritating, and what if Wang Teng decided to take out his frustration on it?
You think its impossible? Wang Teng smiled faintly and asked.
Well... its challenging! Round Ball hesitated for a moment, expressing tactfully.
Setting aside that, what do you think will happen if I truly master all of them? Wang Teng continued, indifferent to the response.
I dont know. Ive never seen anyone who could master all the ancient runes. There were, however, some ancient saints who were knowledgeable in many runes, but even they wouldnt claim to have mastered them all. In those times, ancient runes hadnt completely disappeared, and they were still widely spread knowledge in the runic world. Round Ball spoke with seriousness.
Wang Teng nodded thoughtfully. Suddenly, his spiritual power detected something, surprising him.
Inside the mountain, a sphere composed entirely of runes floated, emitting a faint light.
What is this? Wang Teng was surprised.
What is what? Round Ball thought that Wang Teng was talking to it so it asked curiously.
Nothing. 1 found something interesting. Wang Teng smiled and didnt pay further attention to Round Ball. His gaze focused on the runic sphere suspended within the mountain.
This runic sphere was located at the center of the mountain and was still quite a distance away from Wang Tengs spiritual power.
Moving his spiritual sense within the mountain was no simple task. It felt like navigating through a muddy swamp, challenging to move a fraction of an inch..
