Sweat trickled down on Austin and Denali's foreheads as they ran, with Matias behind them. About four minutes later, they had advanced forty five meters.
"Whoosh!"
They suddenly heard a swooshing noise, then three dummies jumped out and attacked them.
The dummies were at the fourth level of Energy Gathering Realm.
The dummies' skills seemed to have jumped to the fourth level of Energy Gathering Realm at the last five meters of the fifty-meter-long aisle.
Denali glanced nervously at Austin. She and the dummies were on the same skill level, and she was afraid of being defeated.
Even if she had confidence in herself, it wasn't that easy to defeat someone else of the same level.
A beam of yellow light flashed when Matias whipped out his dagger and cut one of the dummies.
Meanwhile, Austin used his Wind-commanding Skill to fight as well.
He was now at the third stage of Wind-commanding Skill, which was Using the Wind. He had become stronger and faster because of his increasingly challenging practice sessions. Thus, it was easy for him to fight these level four dummies.
He kicked one dummy so hard in the abdomen that it backed several steps.
"Take your time, Denali! I'll go first," Austin shouted.
Shortly after, he went forward and didn't look back.
However, Denali was angry at Austin's indifferent behavior. She slashed at a dummy fiercely with her sword and it retreated.
Now, Austin's goal was to defeat the dummy and collect the vital energy crystals after passing fifty-meter line, and not flirt with Denali.
He knew that he could undoubtedly pass through the test with his current strength.
But, what he was really concerned about was how many pieces of vital energy crystals he could get during the test.
It was why he didn't want to stop even for a second at the last five meters.
As he ran, dummies sometimes sprang out towards him from both sides of the aisle.
Austin was unfazed as he simply used his vital energy to fearlessly kick and punch the dummies.
While his cultivation level was currently at the sixth level of Energy Gathering Realm, his thick vital energy resembled those of seventh or eighth level of Energy Gathering Realm cultivators.
The sound of fighting echoed down the aisle, and all the dummies that attacked Austin were knocked down by his strong vital energy.
He took advantage of his Wind-commanding Skill to smoothly glide down through the aisle, like a fish in the water.
Before the dummies could attack again, he had already sped away.
It was sure that Austin would be the first disciple to pass the fifty-meter line.
However, the dummies that failed to attack him didn't stop. Their feet clunked heavily on the floor as they chased after him.
Austin glanced at the dummies behind him. "Well, if you insist, I'll give what you want," he said coldly.
He then gathered his vital energy and punched the first dummy hard in the face.
Soon enough, all the dummies that charged at him got knocked down, and couldn't stand up anymore.
It was finally the time for harvest!
Austin had successfully passed the fifty-meter-line.
Outside the Training Field, there was a large auditorium.
A few stewards each held an orb, through which they could monitor what was happening inside the Training Field.
Suddenly, they all went wide-eyed and stared at each other in shock.
"Someone has passed the fifty-meter line."
"And it took him only five minutes."
"Is he really a grunt disciple?"
"Amazing!"
"Wow! He is a grunt disciple. How could this be possible?"
"Only a handful of even the outer disciples could achieve this feat."
The stewards began to talk enthusiastically about this impressive achievement.
Even no matter how skeptical they were, the facts proved them wrong.
Meanwhile, Austin had entered the farther part of Training Field.
When he took a few steps forward, a big broadsword suddenly swung at him.
He dodged it and quickly got into a defensive stance.
'The fourth-level of Energy Gathering Realm, ' he mentally gauged the dummy's skill level as he swerved its attacks.
