Chapter 587
At that moment, the team reached a dead end. The path was blocked by a dominant cliff. Saul stopped walking.
“Saul, where are you bringing us? There’s no road ahead!” Dennis scolded as he looked at the cliff.
The cliff was about twenty feet tall.
Saul smiled and pointed in a direction. “We can go in that direction but that’s going to be an extra hour long. We can take the shortcut by jumping up this cliff. It’s an easy job for a level hour profound master. If anyone here is not a profound master that is level four or higher, he’s only going to be a burden to us later.
“Haha. If this is going to save us some time, I don’t mind it!” Morris smiled and looked at Severin. “Not everyone here is here to look for treasure. If he can’t jump up the cliff, he could take the long way. No one here is obliged to protect him along the way.”
Severin’s mouth twitched a few times. This path could be a shortcut but Saul was actually trying to test their levels.
If someone failed to reach the top of the cliff, it meant he or she was not a level four profound master yet. Therefore, anyone who succeeded in jumping up the cliff was at least level four or above.
“Haha. Fine with me!” Daphne smiled with her hands folded.
Severin could not be bothered about the others. He walked to the cliff, bent his knee, and took a leap up the cliff. After that, he turned around and looked down the cliff. “Let’s go. Saul is right. This is the closest route. Let’s not waste time. There are two more cliffs similar to this one. We can save a lot of time if we take this route.”
“Haha! Not bad, kid!”
Dennis curled up his lip when he discovered the cliff was nothing to Severin. He too walked over and jumped up to the top of the cliff.
As a matter of fact, everyone on the team was very strong. With Severin’s secret technique, he could tell Steven and Shonna were the weakest among them. Despite that, they were already level eight profound masters. Hence, the cliff was no challenge to the team. By noon, they had reached the peak of the mountain since neither of them was a burden.
“You’re so amazing! I don’t see you sweat after all those jumping and hiking!”
Shonna had sweat all over her forehead. Hiking up the peak of the mountain was hard and everyone was worn out from it. Yet, Severin looked the same as before, still so calm and full of energy.
Among the group, the journey was less tiring for Saul and Dennis. This time around, the way they looked at Severin was obviously different from previously.
Severin smiled faintly and explained, “I always enjoy good training so I have a stronger physique.”
That explained everything. Some people could have a stronger body and endurance because they liked to train their bodies and not because they had a stronger level. Maybe Severin was one of those people. Morris squinted his eyes and was dubious. He also loved a good body work out so he knew those who trained their bodies often looked muscular and bulky. Severin did not match the criteria.
“Let’s rest for a while. Going downhill is easier. No walking is required. We can just jump off from here. It’s going to take just several minutes before we reached the bottom and from there we can see the forest.”
