The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 1423: Chapter 1423: My Talent Really Is Mediocre

The fact was just as Carson Flores had guessed, Spencer Steele was the quickest to comprehend among the four.

It took her only half a day.

Spencer Steele opened her eyes joyfully, looked around, and saw that Carson Flores, Princess Hail, and Franklin Wyatt were all still immersed in contemplation.

I am the first one!

A sense of surprise and delight surged in Spencer Steele’s heart; in the previous round, both she and Carson Flores were at the bottom, which was quite a blow to her.

Carson Flores opened his eyes and looked at the delighted Spencer Steele: ”Have you fully comprehended it?”

Spencer Steele nodded: ”Yes, Master.”

Carson Flores frowned, he turned to look into the distance, only to find that two people from the Sky Tiger Sect and the Ming Heart Sect were missing.

Alice Harrison and Evangeline Waters had disappeared!

They have passed the round.

Carson Flores immediately fell into hesitation; he was certain he could understand the Five Elements Sword Scripture, but the time it would take was uncertain.

As a master, he couldn’t possibly hold back his disciple’s progress, could he?

Yet Evangeline Waters and Alice Harrison were already ahead; if Spencer Steele went alone, she was bound to encounter them.

If they took the opportunity to kill Spencer Steele, what then?

Moreover, no one knew what form the following assessments would take. The vulnerable Spencer Steele was obviously at a disadvantage.

”Spencer, Evangeline Waters and Alice Harrison have already gone to the next round. Now you have two choices. First, wait for me to fully comprehend and then we proceed to the next round together; second, go forward to the next round on your own, and you might even have to face each round alone from now on—and possibly confront Evangeline Waters and Alice Harrison...”

Spencer Steele pursed her lips and calmly responded: ”Master, you can’t protect me forever. Some things, after all, I have to face alone. Now that I am a disciple of White Crane Immortal Sect, they surely can’t kill me in front of everyone.”

Carson Flores gazed into Spencer Steele’s eyes; the sixteen-year-old girl’s gem-like eyes were full of calmness and determination.

A few seconds later, Carson Flores nodded: ”In the public eye, if they kill you, it would mean war with the White Crane Immortal Sect. They probably wouldn’t dare. If they really dare to attack and kill you, I will exterminate them all to avenge you.”

Spencer Steele kneeled and kowtowed: ”Thank you, Master!”

Carson Flores waved his hand, signaling Spencer Steele to leave, and he closed his eyes once again.

Just as Spencer had said, some problems must be faced alone, some opportunities must be seized by oneself. Although he was her master, he couldn’t replace her.

Besides, his current strength was also limited. Self-preservation was enough, but to do anything else was similarly difficult.

With his current strength, taking an ordinary disciple would certainly be fine, but to take a disciple whose enemy is a True Immortal, that was still somewhat forced.

Carson Flores watched as Spencer Steele executed the sword technique, passed the test, and entered the third round. He himself closed his eyes as well.

Strive to comprehend as soon as possible!

The sword technique of the second round was much harder than the Cultivation Technique of the first round. Carson Flores felt that his talent was not outstanding, so naturally, it required more time.

Half a day later, Princess Hail comprehended the sword technique and passed the round, followed closely by Franklin Wyatt.

The four were left with only Carson Flores.

My talent is indeed average.

Luckily, my luck isn’t bad!

Carson Flores comforted himself inwardly and continued to comprehend.

After two more days, Carson Flores finally comprehended.

Spencer Steele took only half a day, while he took a full three days. His talent for the Sword Dao was indeed much less than hers.

Two and a half days since Spencer Steele entered the third round, it was unknown how she was doing.

With worry and anxiety, Carson Flores passed the assessment and entered the passageway.

Before he left, Carson Flores glanced over and saw that the two disciples from the Sky Tiger Sect were still there, but the uncle instructor of Alice Harrison from the Ming Heart Sect was no longer present.

Carson Flores stepped into the passageway.

It was a space forged of black iron, a vast expanse of darkness.

Carson Flores had no time to look around when he heard a miserable scream that abruptly cut off.

Carson Flores looked up and saw a metal staircase path extending toward the opposite side’s metal wall, where there was an arched passageway leading to the next unknown space.

Carson Flores paid no heed to the rules on the walls, his eyes scanned around, but he did not see Spencer Steele. Instead, he saw Princess Hail and Franklin Wyatt.

Carson Flores walked over to them and directly asked: ”Where’s Spencer?”

Princess Hail replied with admiration in her eyes: ”She crossed the Ferry Immortal Bridge and went on to the next round.”

Carson Flores’s heart somewhat eased, his gaze then fell on the characters on the wall.

The Ferry Immortal Bridge consists of eighteen steps, and with each step taken, an attack of Sword Qi will ensue. With every step, one more strand of Sword Qi will appear. Eighteen steps, eighteen Sword Qis, and participants are not allowed to use any Defense Treasures, or else it will be considered a failed attempt.

Participants who successfully pass through will be able to proceed to the next round. If they fail to withstand it, they will be struck off the Ferry Immortal Bridge.

Below the Ferry Immortal Bridge lies the Ghost Spirit Water. Those who fall into it will be quickly corroded and disintegrated. This entire space is covered by rules, rendering flight impossible, meaning that once off the bridge, falling into the water is inevitable.

Although one can swim up the side, the distance is sufficient for the Ghost Spirit Water to severely damage the person in the water. If one is slow, bodily dissolution and Primordial Spirit shattering are entirely possible.

After stepping onto the bridge, retreat is not an option. One can only move forward, either crossing the bridge to proceed to the next round or falling from the bridge.

Carson Flores finally understood why there was such a crowd here; apparently, everyone was intimidated.

With all the effort put into their cultivation up to this day, who would risk their life without the certainty of a huge
