First Challenge...
Even chief Dona leaned out of his seat. However, he was not the only one.
Even the other chiefs were all surprised. All of them except the chief of the Cutlass clan. He had a smug look on his face.
Lofty was the most talented child his clan had ever had.
He was only about sixteen years of age and his cultivation had already climbed so high.
"Lofty of the cutlass clan, peak stage of the stone rank." Elder Harden announced loudly.
Usually, there were only three stages. The early, middle, and high. However, peak stage meant he was already half a step into the copper realm.
As one got older, cultivation got more difficult.
There was a reason that the highest cultivation in this place was actually the copper realm.
When any of these chiefs were Lofty's age, they were still only around the early stage of the stone rank.
It took them many years before they moved all the way to the copper rank.
