Chapter 902

“So, who will go first? Will it be Junior Brother, or is it the Junior Sister?” A cultivator said as his eyes were looking straight at Yi Tianyun and Gu Yurong. The cultivator that guided both Yi Tianyun and Gu Yurong this time was a man called Zhou Runjie. He always smiled in front of them both, but there was no telling what he was really thinking.

“I will go first.” Gu Yurong stood up. She has been silent so far, but there was no reason for her to remain observant any longer. Her reason for doing this was to prove herself and make sure that the others noticed her too! She knew that Yi Tianyun’s ray was too dazzling, and she wouldn’t be able to compete with him.

“Then come right here, Junior Sister.” Zhou Renjie said as he called Gu Yurong to come over. This Welcoming Ceremony wasn’t only to test the cultivator’s Spiritual Force but also to let everyone know about your identity. It was like a self-introduction with a chance to prove themselves! The Spiritual Force itself was basically the strength of the soul, which would determine the cultivator’s capability in the future!

Spiritual Force could also be cultivated, but it was the hardest to cultivate! Testing one’s Spiritual Force was the best way to see a cultivator’s worth!

Gu Yurong walked to the wall, and once she stood in front of it, she closed her eyes. An invisible power arose from her body, and the wall began to glow faintly. The light on the wall climbed through the names on the wall really fast, but after passing the line that Yu Yanglong created, the light slowed down significantly.

It was a sign that the difficulty had increased. It was hard for Gu Yurong to make the light keep climbing up. Gu Yurong has exerted her power to pass the line Yu Yanglong created earlier, but it was fine! She could just climb the wall slowly.

She slowly traversed double the distance she ought to pass from being punished! She bypassed so many names and achieved a good result. To put it simply, if her names went up, she would be evaluated higher by others!

But still, her name was still far away from Nian Ciyu! Even so, she didn’t have to compare herself with Nian Ciyu. At the very least, she already left thousands of names in the dust! Moreover, she hasn’t completely stopped, as her name still crept up slowly!

Yu Yanglong nodded his head as he looked at Gu Yurong as he saw that Gu Yurong had room to grow! But still, Yu Yanglong noticed that Gu Yurong was trying harder than it looked!

“Junior Sister, I suggest that you engrave your name within your limit. If you continue to go up, I am afraid it would be hard for you to engrave the letters of your name later!” Zhou Runjie said kindly.

He didn’t say anything to Yi Tianyun, but he seemed to care about Gu Yurong. Now Yi Tianyun realised that Zhou Renjie might not be that kind! Gu Yurong didn’t say anything as she kept channeling her energy to the wall.

She wasn’t obliged to heed Zhou Runjie’s word and kept going. She wanted to leave her name in a higher place as she would receive better treatment here if she could just prove herself worthy! Especially with the two elders watching her!

Yi Tianyun looked at Gu Yurong expectantly. He loved how a cultivator did their best for their own future. It was always what he strived for in his own life! You’ll get better treatment as long as you prove yourself!

The Spiritual Force of Gu Yurong kept creeping up the wall, leaving only a few hundred names for her to overtake, which meant she was already in the top 1.000! It was no ordinary feat. She only lasted for 7 days inside the Great Array, but she reached a height that not many cultivators could reach in the Welcoming Ceremony.

A lot of Core Palace’s disciples had their name in between 2 or 3 meters high, but Gu Yurong could reach the 4-meter high with a considerable effort! Everyone that saw Gu Yurong would never expect her to have this much potential!

Eventually, she began engraving her own name on the wall. She engraved it slowly, but it seemed there was nothing to worry about as she finished it without a hitch! But Yi Tianyun noticed that it required a lot more effort from Gu Yurong when she engraved her name.

As soon as Gu Yurong finished engraving her name on the wall, she collapsed. She sat on the ground while sweating excessively. It was just like she was under the water for some while. Even so, her situation wasn’t so bad! Despite the arduous task that left her faint, she succeeded; and the reward was more than worth the exhaustion.

“Junior Sister Gu, are you alright?” Zhou Runjie said worriedly.

“I am alright. My Spiritual Force looks pretty good, right?” Gu Yurong said proudly. In fact, everyone else immediately applauded her as she performed well.

“Yes, it’s very good indeed! If you work harder in the future, I am sure that you will reach a greater height in the future!” Ming Yueqing said as he smiled at Gu Yurong.

“Thank you very much for your praise, Elder Ming!” Gu Yurong said as she stood up and bowed respectfully to both elders. She had to show her capability to stand firm in the Core Palace, and things went according to her plan!

She then walked back towards Yi Tianyun and rested on the corner. She nodded at Yi Tianyun, indicating that Yi Tianyun should go next.

This time, all eyes were on Yi TIanyun. They wanted to see how Yi Tianyun would break Nian Ciyu’s record. It was as high as 12 meters on the wall, which was a meter higher than the second-highest name on the wall!

Yi Tianyun smiled a little as he knew that he could do better. After all, controlling Spiritual Force was his forte as a Creator Rank Divine Rune Master! He knew that it was collectively referred to as God Rune Master now, but still, he was better than any of the people in this room regarding that matter!
