Chu Lingguang and Yan Zhen also started walking up the mountain together.
"Yan, do you know what the academy is up to? Why are they having us climb the mountain on our own?"
Chu Lingguang asked in a low voice.
"I'm not sure either. The academy has always been mysterious. Its tests are ever-changing and impossible to predict. However, one thing is for sure: the academy will use all sorts of methods to enhance our Mental Realm. Only once our Mental Realm has evolved can we hear more 'responses.' So don't overthink it. Just do as they say."
Yan Zhen said.
"Mm."
Chu Lingguang nodded.
As they walked on, their steps grew heavier and heavier. Everyone discovered that the mountain steps were emitting a strange energy that made every step a struggle.
"Walk on the sides!"
"There's no resistance on the sides!"
"It's true! The sides are just like normal ground."
