Chapter 612 Finding One's Own Way Back
At this moment, Lachlan chose to observe from a distance.
Despite his dislike for Ryan, who was now an enemy, his previous words held some truth.
In the world of cultivation, it was indeed survival of the fittest!
Lachlan had a good impression of Fiona, but he couldn't constantly shield her from every attack.
She had to learn to grow on her own.
Soon after...
Fiona found herself surrounded by the crowd. Dealing with so many attacks at once, she was momentarily overwhelmed.
Plup!
In a moment of carelessness, Fiona was struck, spewing a mouthful of blood. Despite the pain, she gritted her teeth and remained silent.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Soon, the battle heated up.
The spiritual energy fluctuations here also caught the attention of the Hall of Enforcement.
Three or four Hall of Enforcement disciples observed from a distance. With their strength, they could easily intervene if necessary.
Meanwhile, Lachlan sat hidden in a tree branch, feeling quite relaxed.
Although Fiona was facing some difficulties, she was handling the situation much better than before.
Given a little more time, Fiona would begin to counterattack against her assailants.
As Lachlan contemplated this, a scream suddenly rang out from below.
A man attempted to sneak attack Fiona, but she detected him and struck him squarely in the chest. He screamed and fell backward, struggling on the ground before finally lying still. Someone was injured!
Witnessing this scene, the Hall of Enforcement disciples were surprised. Fiona's combat talent was unexpectedly strong, despite her average physical abilities.
Fiona felt a surge of excitement. This was the first time she had ever injured someone, and she felt no remorse, only exhilaration.
It was as if this was the real her, unleashed after being suppressed for so long!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The waves of energy continued to emanate from the crowd as Fiona grew more excited, her attacks becoming more ferocious.
In the course of the battle, three people had already been injured by Fiona!
Ryan's face had darkened considerably.
"Useless! Useless! A bunch of useless idiots!"
"You can't even handle a little girl! What use are you to me?"
"If you want to continue being a part of our sect in the future, you better use all your strength and stop holding back!"
With Ryan's furious roar, the others gritted their teeth and continued to attack Fiona.
"Ten people have already passed the second stage! The rest, keep striving!"
At that moment, a faint voice echoed from Tamrane Peak, urging those with strength to hurry up.
Upon hearing the voice from Tamrane Peak, Ryan's expression became even more complex.
After another few waves of attacks, Ryan realized he couldn't defeat Fiona in the short term.
With a cold snort, he waved his hand, and the crowd retreated like a tide.
Watching Ryan and the others leave like fleeing rats, Fiona looked up and shouted to Lachlan, "Lachlan, I did it!"
"Hmm, Fiona, you surprised me. You did very well."
Lachlan, who had been wearing a cold expression, now smiled rarely, lifting Fiona's spirits.
"We don't have much time. Let's get through the second stage first."
At this point, there were at least thirty to forty people on the mountainside, but less than twenty spots remained to pass. However, with Lachlan and Fiona's appearance, those who had witnessed the previous battle instinctively moved aside. No one dared to provoke these two anymore!
No one had expected that even the seemingly weak girl could be so formidable in combat.
With Lachlan's strength, he easily passed the second stage, looking at Ryan with disdain from afar.
Lachlan sneered inwardly, thinking that after this incident, Ryan wouldn't dare to act recklessly again.
With a swoosh, all thirty people gathered at the mountaintop. Sullivan waved his hand, and the remaining contestants stopped in their tracks, having been eliminated. "No! No! I was just one step away! Give me another chance!"
"I refuse to accept this! I can't accept it!"
Various expressions of dissatisfaction echoed, but none of the onlookers felt any sympathy for them.
Even Lachlan was no exception.
Having been through two battles et
himself, he outran these contestants
easily. It could only be said that their strength was indeed lacking.
"Next, there's only one more test. Once you pass it, you'll become official outer disciples of our Broken Pulse Sect!"
"With the finish line in sight, everyone must stay alert!"
"As usual, take a one-hour break, and then the third stage will officially begin."
As Sullivan's voice fell, the tension that had gripped everyone instantly dissipated. Many people even sat or lay down on the ground, clearly exhausted from the intense sprint during the second stage.
"Fiona..."
Fiona wanted to strike up a conversation with Lachlan, but seeing him rise and walk away, she swallowed her words.
Of course, Lachlan had to go find Kyrie to demand an explanation! How could his daughter be bullied within the Broken Pulse Sect?
What was Kyrie thinking, leaving his niece at Fairy Peak without any protection?
"What! Nora was bullied! That's impossible!"
"I explicitly warned about this in front of the entire sect! Is someone here daring to disrespect me, Kyrie?"
Upon hearing Lachlan's questioning words, Kyrie frowned, a coldness emanating from him.
Sullivan was also unclear about
what Lachlan was referring to. As
the deputy sect master, he had too
many matters to attend to and
couldn't pay attention to such trivial issues.
The other elders looked at each other in confusion until a figure stepped forward.
"I know a thing or two about Nora."
Huh?
As the voice rang out, all eyes turned to the speaker-a solemn-looking old woman with the cultivation level of mid-Nascent Soul stage.
She was none other than Galilea, the peak master of Fairy Peak.
"Master Galilea, was Nora really arranged to be at Fairy Peak? Explain the situation in detail."
Sullivan spoke calmly.
"Well, Mr. McCarthy did indeed warn about this matter within the sect."
"But the atmosphere within the sect has become increasingly sinister. Now, rumors have spread that Nora is Mr. McCarthy's illegitimate daughter..."
"So, those who usually have conflicts with Mr. McCarthy take advantage of this to vent their anger on Nora, especially the peak master of Prideful Peak!" "Although I am the peak master of Fairy Peak, I can't keep an eye on Nora all the time. I... also have my responsibilities..."
Master Galilea sighed, her expression slightly apologetic and embarrassed.
After listening to the old woman's words, Kyrie slammed his hand on the stone table in front of him and stood up in anger. "Briggs Mayer! I'll go ask him for an explanation!"
"Nora is technically my niece! What right does anyone have to vent their anger on me?"
"Bullying a young girl, what kind of accomplishment is that?"
Seeing Kyrie's impassioned appearance, the other elders dared not speak up, each unwilling to get involved in the matter.
"Lachlan, what do you think?"
At that moment, Sullivan turned to Lachlan and asked quietly.
"I don't need Kyrie to stand up for me in this matter."This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.
"If they dare to bully Nora, I'll personally resolve this situation."
