Degrade from Nobility to a Humble Slave novel Chapter 291

In fact, there were points of the mountain wall that remained strong.

The disciples from Drizzle Peak climbed the mountain wall continuously. Wherever other disciples tramped, there were marks left behind.

As time went on, tiny hollows were etched into the mountain wall.

As some disciples practiced more, they discovered these hollows, and using them, they could climb higher.

Some hollows were used frequently, and they gradually sunk.

Viewed from below, the wall appeared smooth and flat, but in reality, it had many recesses.

After climbing its face hundreds of times, some disciples could remember each hollow. They needed to pay attention to where it was safe to tread the first few steps after they made the leap.

So, the experience in climbing this mountain wall was very important. Zen didn't have the experience and climbed it with just his strength. It was believed he would surely suffer losses.

Wyatt was able to reach a height of 47 meters because he was nimble and made good use of the recesses. From ancient to modern times, the people who could reach the summit was far less than those who initially set out climbing, so the higher one went, the fewer recesses in the face of the wall. They were also more indistinct and difficult to find, the higher one scaled.

Zen lacked the experience to find the niches in the mountain wall, but, he had an advantage, speed.

The Phoenix Crystal's energy played an important role. He slapped the mountain wall with both hands continuously while at the same time he tramped his feet into the surface quickly.

Zen was well aware that with the strength he currently possessed, he could slice into the hard mountain wall easily and catapult himself up to the top. But if he did that, it would be considered cheating, so he decided against it.

Zen could control his strength in a manner that it was imperceptible to see and as he slapped and tramped nonstop, his speed was once more quickened, unexpectedly.

"Wow, look at Zen's speed increase again unexpectedly. My Gosh!" shouted one of the outer disciples.

"Seriously? How'd that happen? It's beyond reason!" commented some of the outer disciples in confusion.

Normally, when disciples climbed the mountain wall, the higher they went, the slower they became.

At the bottom, the disciples would be at their strongest and speediest, and then because there was no place they could apply their force to at the midway, speed decreased, making the climb upward grow slower and slower.

Nobody could change the rules of relativity.

However, halfway up the wall, Zen's speed suddenly increased...

What did that mean? It meant Zen didn't need to store his force when he was at the bottom. He was even able to skip the dashing to accelerate. He could climb the mountain wall with the same stamina, whether he went 30 meters, 100 meters or even 1000 meters. It didn't seem to make a difference to him whether he climbed the mountain wall or ran on flat ground.

Given the information, this test to climb the mountain wall had no real impact on Zen.

First Zen passed the 30 meters mark, then 40, and accelerating as he went, he reached 55 meters and continued. Soon enough, he'd gone further than the palm print.

Stopping at 60 meters, Zen stretched his hand to pound the mountain wall.

"Smash!"

After battering at the stone surface until a deep handprint became visible, Zen turned and fell straight down.

"He's made a new record when he climbed for the first time. He's a nature creature and certainly different from us!"

"It's not a matter of him being a nature creature. The fact is, I've seen powerful inner disciples take the test, and although they reached 60 meters, it didn't go smoothly and they weren't anywhere near as fast as Zen..."

"Right. What other people have accomplished means nothing to Zen. If he wanted to, he could climb the mountain wall as easily as strolling across flat ground!"

While the other disciples were discussing Zen, he reached the bottom and approached Wyatt. While walking, he removed the weight-bearing suit and handed it to Wyatt, smiling as he commented, "I didn't do a very good job!"

Wyatt's expression remained stiff and bitter.

He wasn't just the outer disciple at Drizzle Peak who was ranked number one, but, he was also a fairly abnormal person. Nobody could find an outer disciple among all peaks of the Cloud Sect let alone at Drizzle Peak who could rival him. Which begged the question; why was Zen still an outer disciple?

Challenging Zen this way, was like him asking to be insulted...

Wyatt felt a deep sense of frustration.

After delivering the weight-bearing suit back to Wyatt, Zen went over to Wurth and patted his shoulder.
