Whirling Sword Sect

The Whirling Sword Sect was one of the 5 big sects, ranking at 3rd place.

Jiang Jia packed his stuff, said his good byes and headed out. Although this was his 2nd life, he didn't want to live a life of luxury and live as a dead person. He wanted to challenge the world and even more himself.

"All aboard."

A flying ship that would take all the participants to the Whirling Sword Sect landed from the sky.

Jiang Jia got on and shortly after they departed.

He breathed in a deep amount of fresh air.

"This is my new adventure."

His heart was beating excitedly. He was also a little nervous, but he liked the experience.

They quickly arrived at the foot of the mountain where there was a huge gate and thousands of stairs leading to the peak.

"For your first test, you'll have to rely on yourself and climb to the peak."

Everyone was amazed and shocked, but Jiang Jia didn't waste any time and simply walked up to it.

The other ran as they thought that there was limit spots to join.

Eventually Jiang Jia was left behind as he was only walking.

"What's wrong with that guy, he's so slow? Isn't he afraid of failing?"

"Eh, that's better for us, hehehe."

Jiang Jia simply kept walking at a consistent pace that wasn't slow nor fast.

.....

On the other side of the mountains 5 Golden Core experts were observing.

"This young man is quite steadfast and calm. The others are running as fast as they can! Huahaha." A fat old mad with a long beard chugged wine.

"To cultivate you need to be consistent, the mind also need to be strong." A Ice cold man with white hair commented.

"Hehe he would be a good disciple for you junior brother, but I prefer the first place girl." A lady with a smoke pipe giggled.

"Aigh~ They look so weak and skinny! That 3rd place guy looks good, he's breaking through the crowds like slashing a wave, GUAHAHAHA!!" A Large man with a 2 handed machete laughed.

"Hm, I also like the looks of the last guy. As they say, 'Good looks, Good luck'." A young man with a fan smiled.

....

Jiang Jia was in a bad situation.

Sweat coursed down his face and his feet were hurting and felt as if they were bleeding.

He wasn't even sure just how much longer he would have to walk, but he just did.

One step at a time, yet he felt like it was an eternity.

He smiled to himself. "Whether in heaven or hell, in bliss or pain, time won't stop."

Jiang Jia just kept walking as if nothing was wrong.

The others had gotten tired and were now walking sluggishly. Jiang Jia thought, 'these stairs might have some tricks to them. For example the further you walk, the heavier the spiritual essence is'.

As he walked, he noticed a young man who was clenching his teeth so hard they bled.

As he walked further he noticed a man who was extremely tired, but still roared at Jiang Jia.

And as he walked even further he saw a lady that was glaring at him while silently moving up.

And at a point all he saw was clouds, the sky, and of course, more stairs.

Jiang Jia's pace was not fast nor slow.

Ding!*

[You have encountered a chance to become a divine being, accept?]

[Y] [N]

Jiang Jia without hesitation pressed 'No' and kept walking.

"How can I let something else walk my path for me."

But then a strange incident happened.

[Since you won't accept, then regret it for the rest of your life.]

Then the screen vanished.

"...I won't regret my decisions."

Jiang Jia kept walking and no one could see his figure anymore.

But at the same time...

[Do you want to accept the system?]

[Y] [N]

"Huh?"

The young man unclenched his teeth as blood was continuing to flow out of his mouth. He couldn't believe what he was seeing.

'The systems finally here!' He thought.
