Daddy the Miracle Medic (Lachlan and Miranda) novel Chapter 609

Chapter 609 The Second Trial

The conflict between Lachlan and Ryan naturally stirred up a wave of discussions among the crowd. The obvious leniency of the Hall of Enforcement towards Lachlan also revealed a mysterious aspect to them. Many people speculated about Lachlan's identity. Could it be that, like Ryan, he had found a backer in the Broken Pulse Sect beforehand?

Many scheming individuals, some even wearing respectful expressions, approached Lachlan to greet him. Of course, they were thinking about making contact with Lachlan to leave themselves a way out. After all, with the strength Lachlan was currently displaying, they were fully qualified to follow him, just like those who followed Ryan.

However, Lachlan had no fondness for these people at all. Practitioners should contend with heaven and earth! Always seeking to attach oneself to others would lead to no great achievements in life. After brushing off these people, Lachlan turned his head to glance at Fiona, only to find that something seemed amiss with her. However, he couldn't pinpoint exactly what was wrong and shook his head with a wry smile. It seemed he had worried too much about Fiona. Even if he saw traces of his daughter Nora in her, he shouldn't feel this way!

Speaking of Nora, Lachlan felt a pang of longing in his heart. The little one was now in the Broken Pulse Sect! He believed that after the assessment ended, he would soon see his daughter.

An hour passed quickly, and the second trial began swiftly with the arrival of Sullivan and his group.

"The second trial tests everyone's proficiency in using their true energy!"

"The mountain peak we're on is called Feila Peak, and we'll be heading to the distant Tamrane Peak!"

As Sullivan spoke, he pointed into the distance. There stood a towering mountain peak, shrouded in mist, exuding an ethereal atmosphere. From Lachlan's estimate, there were probably hundreds of kilometers between the two peaks!

"Except for using external objects and artifacts, any other means can be used. As long as you're among the first thirty to arrive, you'll pass!"

Wow!

As Sullivan's voice fell, there was an immediate uproar in the surroundings. Not being able to use external objects and artifacts was understandable, as it ensured fairness. However, if someone had advantageous conditions or a flying artifact, they could easily surpass most people. But this time, there was no time limit for the second trial. However, only the top thirty would be selected! This elimination rate was a bit too high!

With Sullivan's command, the crowd quickly rushed down the mountain. These practitioners participating in the assessment generally had the strength of the Uppecia and Core Formation stages. Without the use of artifacts, they couldn't stay airborne for long. Therefore, they needed to plan their true energy usage well to reach the opposite Tamrane Peak with minimal consumption.

"Let's go too."

Lachlan chuckled lightly, nodding to Fiona. This time, Fiona had great confidence. Although her physical condition was extremely poor, her proficiency in using true energy was outstanding! Especially various true energy techniques and martial skills, she could wield them skillfully! Upon hearing Lachlan's words, Fiona stepped forward, infusing her legs with true energy, and dashed forward.

This move was also an active display for Lachlan. After all, her performance in the first trial was very poor, and she wanted to regain some respect in Lachlan's eyes.

"Not bad."

Lachlan easily caught up with Fiona, nodding and smiling at her.

"For this second trial, Ryan probably won't give up on obstructing us."

"Let me make it clear in advance, unless it's a matter of life and death, I won't intervene! So, for this second trial, it's all up to you."

Fiona nodded solemnly at Lachlan's words. Even if Lachlan didn't say it, that was her plan! She hadn't grown up relying on others. From enduring so much ridicule and mockery since childhood to now, her inner resilience might be stronger than what Lachlan imagined.

Fiona continued to run forward, her speed extremely fast, disappearing from the sight of the crowd in the blink of an eye.

No matter how fast Fiona accelerated, Lachlan could easily keep up. After chasing for dozens of kilometers, Ryan's group finally cursed in frustration and gave up the pursuit.

"Damn it! What did this girl eat to grow so fast? How is she so quick?"

"I reckon she feels her strength isn't enough, so she specially trained her speed, for the sake of escaping, huh?"
