"Heart Tempering Bridge?" Confused, Zhang Xuan turned his gaze over and saw that the one who had just spoken was a 6-star master teacher like him .
The other party seemed to be in his forties, and there was an aged look of a veteran on his face .
"Zhang shi's talent has allowed him to advance his cultivation swiftly, but that, in exchange, has made his mental fortitude his greatest weakness . As such, Pavilion Master Gou has sent him out to temper his mind well . He has returned from his journey just a while ago, and it seems like he's attempting to give it a try to see if he is able to break his previous record . " the 6-star master teacher explained .
To be able to raise his cultivation realm to Saint 3-dan pinnacle and advance his master teacher rank to 7-star before hitting his thirties, Zhang Jiuxiao was indeed a formidable genius . On top of that, as he was from the Sage Zhang Clan, there was also nothing to pick about his background either . The only thing that was lacking about him was his mental fortitude .
This was also the reason why he had been working on it over the past month, hoping to achieve a breakthrough in it soon .
"Ahem, I am asking about the Heart Tempering Bridge, not Zhang Jiuxiao…" Zhang Xuan cleared his throat .
All he wanted to know was what the Heart Tempering Bridge was used for .
It didn't matter to him how powerful or weak Zhang Jiuxiao was . In his view, it was just the difference between one punch or two punch anyway, there was truly no need for him to go to the extent of analyzing his opponent's strength .
"The Heart Tempering Bridge is a unique artifact that assesses one's mental fortitude . Those who attempt to walk through it will be placed under immense pressure, and cultivators with weaker minds would find themselves succumbing to the pressure very soon . All in all, there are ten levels for the entire bridge, and even a typical 7-star pinnacle master teacher would find it hard to reach the end . Previously, Zhang shi has only managed to reach the fourth level . This time, he is intending to see if he will be able to surpass his previous record . " The 6-star master teacher shot a perplexed glance at Zhang Xuan, but he still chose to explain it anyway .
There were no master teachers in Qingyuan Empire who were unaware of the existence of the Heart Tempering Bridge . For the other party to disregard the number one genius of their Master Teacher Pavilion and focus on a mere bridge instead . . . this had truly rendered him speechless .
"Fourth level?"
"Don't underestimate the Heart Tempering Bridge . The previous record of the Heart Tempering Bridge for cultivators beneath thirty is left behind by Ye shi two thousand years ago, but even he had only managed to reach the fourth level . The fact that Zhang shi is able to reach the fourth level is already a formidable feat in itself . . . However, Pavilion Master Gou has high hopes for him . He feels like reaching the fourth level isn't enough, so he tasked Zhang shi to work harder on his mental fortitude . " the 6-star master teacher replied .
"I see . " Zhang Xuan nodded .
"You aren't surprised by his achievement?" Seeing how nonchalantly the young man was acting, the 6-star master teacher couldn't help but feel a little stifled within .
When he first heard about Zhang shi's accomplishments back then, he had been so shocked that he fell into a very long moment of daze before he could finally regain himself . Yet, the fellow before him simply replied with a nonchalant 'I see', as if the achievement was nothing at all .
Did the other party not get what was going on, or was he feigning composure?
"Surprised? Why should I be surprised? Didn't you say that there are ten levels? He has only reached the fourth the previous time, so even if he did make some improvement over the past month, at the very most, he would only at the fifth or sixth now . That's still a long way to go before reaching the end . " Zhang Xuan scratched his head in confusion .
Honestly speaking, he had never really cultivated his mental fortitude as well, so he couldn't relate to the difficulty and torture in tempering it .
What fourth level and fifth level, he had completely no notion of that at all . Since that was the case, what did he have to be surprised over?
"You…" Hearing those seemingly ignorant words, the 6-star master teacher staggered and nearly spurted blood . He quickly explained, "The fact that 7-star pinnacle master teachers would find it hard to reach the other end of the bridge means to say that it's a trial which even Saint 4-dan pinnacle experts are unable to clear . Just think about it, Primordial Spirit realm experts, despite the superior prowess of their Primordial Spirits granting them mental fortitude far surpassing that of ordinary cultivators, are still unable to reach the tenth level . . . Given so, the fact that Zhang shi, a Saint 3-dan cultivator, was able to reach the fourth level is already a frightening feat in itself!"
"Ah . " Zhang Xuan replied indifferently . "So it's a formidable feat . Then . . . how should I react to this matter? Should I be shocked, or should I scream like the others over there?"
"Forget it…" Seeing that the other party was still unable to comprehend the significance of the feat, the 6-star master teacher shook his head helplessly and gave up .
At this point, he was really starting to doubt whether the young man before him had robbed the master teacher robe and emblem from elsewhere to put it on . . . To think that there would be a master teacher in Qingyuan City who wouldn't even know about the Heart Tempering Bridge, as well as the significance of a young man below thirty reaching the fourth level on it . . .
Just how lacking must his general knowledge be?
"Look, look! Zhang shi is about to overcome the fourth level!"
"Wah, you're right! Impressive, I feel like my admiration for him is shooting up swiftly!"
"As expected of my idol! Wuu wuu, I am so agitated at this moment that my tears are about to stain my pants wet!"
All of a sudden, the piercing shrieks abruptly crescendoed .
Zhang Xuan and the 6-star master teacher quickly halted their conversation and turned their gazes back towards the Heart Tempering Bridge .
There, Zhang Jiuxiao's figure could be seen gradually nearing the center of the bridge . Despite the tremendous pressure that the latter was clearly under—his body was shaking, and his robe was completely drenched in sweat—he did successfully hold on up to the point .
Is that the demarcation of levels? Seeing how exhausted Zhang Jiuxiao was, Zhang Xuan couldn't help but take a closer look at the bridge . There, he saw various red lines scattered across the bridge, and Zhang Jiuxiao had passed the fourth and was slowly making his way over to the fifth .
