Chapter 202 Law Enforcement Elder Guards the World (16)

Shen Zhuo struggled but was dragged away by the servant. A disheveled woman rushed out, grabbed his hair, and slapped him.

She roared, “Good-for-nothing! You’re utterly useless! Didn’t I tell you what to do? Do you have ears just for decoration? I told you to please the lord, and this is how you do it! No wonder everyone says you’re despicable, you truly are worthless!”

The woman continued to slap Shen Zhuo several times, the pain becoming increasingly evident on his face. His hatred intensified.

They all looked down on him, didn’t they? One day, he would make them all miserable!

…

Kill him!

Kill them all!

Make everyone in this world as lowly as you are!

A voice kept echoing in Shen Zhuo’s ears. Now, he was the most powerful demonic cultivator, capable of causing widespread devastation. He could bring the world to its knees.

As fewer children emerged from the array formation, there were only about three hundred left. With the time of two incense sticks almost up and the array formation about to close, Shen Zhuo remained immersed in the illusion of vengeance, unable to break free.

Open it, and ghosts will roam the world!

They will be as lowly as you are!

Shen Zhuo began to gather his strength to break the barrier, but suddenly, a phrase popped into his mind.

“Always keep a clear mind. Learn to think at all times. Anger often blinds you to things you should pay attention to…”

Clear mind, think, anger, overlook…

Shen Zhuo’s eyes widened suddenly. Something was off! He was reborn. He was supposed to be undergoing the Illusion Array assessment at the Divine Movement Sect! How did he end up back at Prince Shen’s Mansion?

Everything was fake!

Time!

With this realization, Shen Zhuo took another look around. He had already exited the Illusion Array, just in time as the last incense stick extinguished. He barely made it out in time, nearly lost in the illusion.

Looking back, there were expressions of sadness, happiness, resentment, and smugness. They were all immersed in the illusion and couldn’t break free.

It turned out that none of them, with their various emotions, could match this supposedly lowly person as him.

As the Illusion Array dissipated, everything vanished. It was only then that they realized they had come for an assessment, and now they had failed. Although they were unwilling, there was nothing they could do.

The final assessment was to climb the Heavenly Stairs within two hours.

Only those who climbed to the five hundredth step would be considered qualified. Only the qualified individuals would have the chance to enter the Divine Movement Sect. There were a total of one thousand steps, and rankings would be determined by the time taken and the level of the stairs climbed, with the results of all three assessments combined. Cheating was strictly prohibited during this process.

The Sect Master, along with several elders including Bai Tang, and some talented disciples, were already waiting in the Divine Movement Hall. They observed the children climbing the stairs through the water curtain.

At first, there wasn’t much difference, but as they climbed higher, the disparity became more pronounced. The pressure kept increasing layer by layer. Initially, you would feel like your legs were too heavy to lift, as if they were filled with lead.

As you ascended, the pressure intensified, pressing down on you from all sides.

Shen Zhuo, as a reborn person, had no problem climbing a mere five hundred steps.

By the time he reached the seven hundredth step, it became quite uncomfortable. Yet, compared to his previous life, this discomfort was nothing.

Towards the end, it was all about maintaining balance while climbing, as one wrong move could undo all your progress.

When Shen Zhuo felt like he couldn’t go on, he immersed himself in the despair of his previous life.

Ahead lay hope, and his revenge.

With this thought, a surge of determination propelled him upward.

Chang Shan expressed concern, “This child, at such a young age, harbors such deep hatred. I am afraid it might bring disaster.”

Juan Bai furrowed his brow, “His eyes are filled with ruthlessness, and he possesses innate demonic bone. Law Enforcement Elder, do you really want to accept him?”

However, the Sect Master replied, “As long as he can come down from there, then he will be a disciple of the Divine Movement Sect. If his ranking can enter the top ten, he may even become a direct disciple of one of us.”
