Chapter 2172: Spirit Torture! (1)

Wang Teng sat cross-legged at the mountain’s base, facing the abyss below. He focused on his breath, paying no heed to the surroundings.

This place was too desolate!

If he stayed here for too long, he feared he might grow restless, perhaps even subconsciously compelled to climb that mountain.

Because climbing was the only way out!

There was a restraining force on the mountain, preventing anyone from leaving its confines. Either they would fall directly down, or they would climb.

As long as one’s mind was intact, the first thought that would come to mind was climbing.

But Wang Teng deliberately chose not to do so. He opted for the third option: staying put.

This choice seemed more prudent.

Someone must have brought me here. I’ll stay put and see how they handle it. Wang Teng thought to himself.

Could it be a powerful individual from the academy? Adding another test for me?

It doesn’t feel right, though. The president is right there. If a strong individual used a method to teleport me away, they would at least notify me.

I wonder if the president and the others will come to rescue me.

Is shouting for help useful now?

Various thoughts flashed through Wang Teng’s mind. He realized that he couldn’t practice here, so that left him with nothing to do but daydream.

The recent climb up the Spiritual Hollow Mountain had left his spirit extremely exhausted and weakened. At the moment, he had no desire to move.

Otherwise, with his personality, he might have tried climbing the mountain.

During Wang Teng’s wait, time slowly passed.

But in this place, time seemed to have no concept. It felt like a day had passed, yet it also felt like three days.

Everything appeared exceptionally dull, and Wang Teng felt that the mental fatigue he had experienced was somewhat relieved

It wasn’t due to cultivation, just a result of resting.

So, Wang Teng believed that his choice was very wise. He should rest here.

Climbing? It was tiring!

Previously, climbing Spiritual Hollow Mountain was unavoidable. But this mountain? Who knew if there were any rewards?

Unfortunately, the president he eagerly awaited never appeared, leaving him quite disappointed.

“President, please save me. Save your adorable student. With my excellent talent, not saving me is a loss for the Seventh Stellar Academy,” Wang Teng muttered to himself.

On top of the mountain, the figure chuckled and shook his head. This kid had quite the personality.

“Little one, climb up here, and you can formally become my disciple.”

A voice filled with age suddenly echoed in Wang Teng’s ears.

Wang Teng was momentarily stunned, abruptly opening his eyes and looking around. However, he furrowed his brow quickly because there was no sign of anyone around.

Then, he raised his head, gazing toward the mountaintop, lost in thought.

The person just now seemed to have said… that he could become his disciple.

Climb up and I can become his disciple?

Wang Teng’s expression turned somewhat peculiar, unsure whether this was real or not.

This was the same trick as the president!

With the president, it was a mystery reward, and here it was becoming a disciple.

But Wang Teng still didn’t know the other person’s strength, and accepting him as his master seemed a bit hasty.

“Elder, 1 have already reached the summit of the Spiritual Hollow Mountain. I can have a god-stage martial warrior as my master.” Wang Teng’s eyes turned, and he respectfully bowed towards the mountaintop, honestly stating.

His intention was clear.

He could already find a god-stage martial warrior as his master. If the elder’s strength was weaker than the god stage, there was no need for further discussion.

Of course, this was all his fabrication.

He didn’t know that a god-stage martial warrior wanted to take him in as his disciple. However, he believed that based on his performance on Spiritual Hollow Mountain, even if the god-stage martial warrior didn’t take him in as his disciple, an eternal-stage ruler would.

It wouldn’t be any worse.

If the figure on this mountain was a god-stage existence, then he would consider it. However, if not, there was no need to climb another mountain.

“God stage?!” The figure chuckled and said, “My ability is naturally above your god stage.”

“Above the god stage!” Wang Teng seemed to detect a hint of disdain in the figure’s voice. Suddenly, his whole body shook, and a burst of brilliance erupted from his eyes, filled with incredulity.

Could this elder be that powerful?

Could it be a trick?

But thinking about it, the fact that the figure was able to transfer him here in the presence of the president and others could be considered a demonstration of strength.

If that’s the case, climbing this mountain might not be a bad idea.

It felt exciting just thinking about having a formidable martial warrior above the god stage as his master.

“But I’m a student from the Stellar Academies,” Wang Teng hesitated.

“You brat, you haven’t even climbed the mountain yet, and you’re already considering so much. Do you think you can make it up here?” The figure on the mountaintop laughed and scolded, saying, “No matter, as long as you can climb up, everything will be fine.”

“Since senior says so, then I’ll rest assured.” Wang Teng grinned, stood up from the ground, and prepared to climb the mountain.

However, upon seeing this even more towering and steep mountain in front of him, Wang Teng couldn’t help but feel a bit bitter.

It was too high!

This mountain looked even higher than the Spiritual Hollow Mountain. Now that he was a spiritual entity, the restrictions on this mountain were probably targeted at the spiritual aspect.

Since he had already agreed, he stopped hesitating and took a deep breath. He then started climbing up the mountain.

He placed his hands on the rock wall. After climbing a mountain for more than ten days before, he had already become accustomed to it. Climbing had become a skill.

He climbed dozens of meters easily. Wang Teng felt a bit puzzled. Apart from that imprisoning force, seemed to have no other challenges!

Was it so simple?

It was too easy. Although there was restraint, it didn’t have much impact. He could maintain a normal climbing speed, unlike the Spiritual Hollow Mountain before, which gave him a feeling of being crushed by a great mountain..
