At that moment, the team reached a dead end. The path was blocked by a dominant cliff. Saul stopped
walking.
“Saul, where are you bringing us? There’s no road ahead!” Dennis scolded as he looked at the cliff.
The cliff was about twenty feet tall.
Saul smiled and pointed in a direction. “We can go in that direction but that’s going to be an extra hour
long. We can take the shortcut by jumping up this cliff. It’s an easy job for a level hour profound master.
If anyone here is not a profound master that is level four or higher, he’s only going to be a burden to us
later.
“Haha. If this is going to save us some time, I don’t mind it!” Morris smiled and looked at Severin. “Not
everyone here is here to look for treasure. If he can’t jump up the cliff, he could take the long way. No
one here is obliged to protect him along the way.”
Severin’s mouth twitched a few times. This path could be a shortcut but Saul was actually trying to test
their levels.
If someone failed to reach the top of the cliff, it meant he or she was not a level four profound master
yet. Therefore, anyone who seeded in jumping up the cliff was at least level four or above.
“Haha. Fine with me!” Daphne smiled with her hands folded.
Severin could not be bothered about the others. He walked to the cliff, bent his knee, and took a leap
up the cliff. After that, he turned around and looked down the cliff. “Let’s go. Saul is right. This is the
closest route. Let’s not waste time. There are two more cliffs simr to this one. We can save a lot of
time if we take this route.”
“Haha! Not bad, kid!”
Dennis curled up his lip when he discovered the cliff was nothing to Severin. He too walked over and
jumped up to the top of the cliff.
As a matter of fact, everyone on the team was very strong. With Severin’s secret technique, he could
tell Steven and Shonna were the weakest among them. Despite that, they were already level eight
profound masters. Hence, the cliff was no challenge to the team. By noon, they had reached the peak
of the mountain since neither of them was a burden.
“You’re so amazing! I don’t see you sweat after all those jumping and hiking!”
Shonna had sweat all over her forehead. Hiking up the peak of the mountain was hard and everyone
was worn out from it. Yet, Severin looked the same as before, still so calm and full of energy.
Among the group, the journey was less tiring for Saul and Dennis. This time around, the way they
looked at Severin was obviously different from previously.
Severin smiled faintly and exined, “I always enjoy good training so I have a stronger physique.”

That exined everything. Some people could have a stronger body and endurance because they
liked to train their bodies and not because they had a stronger level. Maybe Severin was one of those
people. Morris squinted his eyes and was dubious. He also loved a good body work out so he knew
those who trained their bodies often looked muscr and bulky. Severin did not match the criteria.
“Let’s rest for a while. Going downhill is easier. No walking is required. We can just jump off from here.
It’s going to take just several minutes before we reached the bottom and from there we can see the
forest.”
As they looked down, the thickyer of fog hover around the upper canopy of the forest leaving the
forest looking foggy and hazy. That did not stop the group from feeling enthusiastic. After having their
rest, the group continued with their journey.
“Let’s go!”
Severin was the first to jump off the mountain. His speed was zing fast.
“Gosh! He’s so fast. I really wonder how strong he is!”
Saul was shocked as he watched Severin jump off. Based on Severin’s speed, he reckoned Severin
was at least a level nine profound master. That being said, it would be a pity if a talented person like
Severin end up dead in the forest. After all, it was rare to see such a young level nine profound master.
