Chapter 860 - Seven Spirit Academies' Disciple Examination (3)

"H-Here's your token. It's red because you've achieved excellent results." The examiner handed Shi Lang his token and explained the purpose of it without being asked.

"I see. Thank you." Shi Lang accepted the token and began making his way towards the portal.

After exiting the portal, Shi Lang found himself standing in front of a massive lake. However, there was something special about this lake.

'The water is silver? What kind of lake is this?' Shi Lang wondered to himself as he approached Wang Bingbing.

"I see that you also received a red token." Wang Ming said with a smile when he noticed Shi Lang's presence behind them.

"Yes. By the way, what is happening here?"

"I'm not too sure, but it appears to be some kind of exercise where you have to walk on the water."

"Walking on water? Sounds like the same examination Yuan took at the Dragon Essence Temple when he had to approach a silver tree."

"Looks like it."

After waiting for another two hours, it was finally Wang Ming's turn.

"You will need at least 40 steps to pass this part of the examination." The examiner said to him.

Wang Ming nodded and took a deep breath before taking his first step into the silver lake.

'Feels like I am walking on something that's liquid yet solid at the same time…' Wang Ming thought to himself as he took his second and third step.

Half a minute later, he was already at the 30th step.

'Is this supposed to be hard?' Wang Ming wondered as he approached the 50th step.

On the 61st step, he finally began feeling some resistance, and it would become increasingly harder to move his leg with every step.

By the 70th step, he was sweating profusely.

"Heavens, he's already taken 75 steps! We have a genius here!" The other participants watched Wang Ming approach his 80th step with admiration in their eyes.

"Ah! I cannot go on!" Wang Ming gave up after taking his 82nd step and collapsed on the water.

One of the examiners there went to pick up Wang Ming before bringing him back to land.

"Congratulations, young man. You currently hold the top score for this examination." The examiner handed Wang Ming another red token before sending him to the next examination.

Wang Bingbing was next.

Two minutes later—

"Wow! 78 steps! That's two high scorers' in a row!" The other participants exclaimed.

"Does anybody know her name? She's such a fairy!"

"No, I don't recognize her."

"Hey, do you think she's an NPC or a Player?"

"Who knows. She kinda gives me a feeling from both sides."

"Huh? What's that supposed to mean?"

"It's hard to explain, but she gives me the feeling of an NPC but also the feeling of a Player as well."

"How's that possible?"
