To Walk The Mist Chapter 80

The five stages on the ground shook as it rose up into the sky . As it elevated, one could see small chains dragged up from the earth from all it's sides of the stages into the sky .

"You have one burning incense stick on time to stand on the ground again . " the officiating elder said, "How you reach the ground is completely up to you . The winners and those who will be eligible to participate in the meet will be pulled from those on the ground . "

most of the contestants immediately understood what the elder's words meant . One of them was Jia Lin . By his side stood Heavenly Rain, his master's daughter . He glanced at her to see if she understood the elder's words, but her cold face held no change .

"You must not hurry to get down . " he advised and she sent him a sidelong glance .

She had always held herself above all others . Even though her father wished that she marry Jia Lin and dual cultivate with him, she felt he was beneath her . someone like her could only truly be compatible with a true dragon like the young master of the Heaven alliance, Di Wong .

Her anger towards Jia Lin was more hooked on the fact that he did not see her as anything . Not a true power or true beauty . Rumour has it that met someone more beautiful than she was . While he defiled female disciples of the gate, he dared to say such words .

Looking away from him, she saw that some had directly jumped down . For some reason, the stage that was not much higher than fifty feet, felt much higher when falling . Many panicked at the sudden change, they felt and broke a few bones .

Some tried to use the chains to climb down, but the chains were a trap too . The chains that seemed harmless had strong lightening coursing through it . If one listened well, they could hear the chains slightly buzz .

She suddenly had an understanding . Jumping down normally was impossible . The gravity around the stage was much stronger, making a fifty foot jump more dangerous .

Deciding on her next actions, she gathered her energy on her feet and stepped off the stage . Unlike those that tried this, she did not fall . Her feet settled in the air as though she had walked unto steady ground, allowing her to descend as though walking down a staircase .

The Godhand gate master smiled at this .

"She is combining mental energy with strong mental strength . A mental energy cultivator able to make such stable qi waves to this level, she is wasted on the Heaven alliance . " the person that spoke was the Ke clan chief . Everyone knew that the Ke clan were mostly a clan of mental energy cultivators, so his words, no one could dispute .

Seeing her go down that way, someone had an idea to use his flying sword . He stepped on the sword and flew down with ease . Seeing him succeed, many followed suit .

Seeing them, Jia Lin snorted . It was not reaching the ground that mattered, it was how you reached the ground . Taking one last glance at Heavenly Raine, stepping down gracefully, looking like an immortal fairy and causing many to stare, he decided to descend .

Placing his hand behind his back, he stepped off the stage . His body seemed as though a feather in the wind and descended with careless grace . He did not sink to the ground under the gravity as one thought he would, but glided down .

"One with the world!" someone exclaimed .

This was someone from the sword sect . They held great pride in their sword techniques and were unrivalled in the cultivation world for a long time . One day, Tie Nse appeared and created a sword technique that if one practised till the last form, would be able to attain 'one with the world' .

This technique is closely guarded in the heaven alliance sect that the sword sect could only grind their teeth in anger . They trained their eyes on his form descending, not wanting to miss one moment .

Jia Lin expected the eyes of everyone to be one him, bathing him with admiration . He had completely learned the patriarch's own technique . The arena was silent . Making him wonder if they had been shocked too much .

When he looked up at the crowd, he noticed that no one was looking at him any more . Not even his master was giving him a look of approval . His master's face was odd as it looked to be stuck in a shocked expression .

He frowned at this . Who could be possibly more outstanding than him at this moment?

He followed the eyes of the crowd and looked in the direction of their attention . His face could not help to distort, changing to one of utter shock .
