Chapter 411 - Fine! Takeover



Droplets of swart had long since started to drip down his forehead when he finally took the fourth step forwards.

The pressure weighing on him seem so massive David found it difficult to breath properly. Just taking that simple step had taken a five hours of literally struggle to make.

As he gazed at the rest of the six steps left for him, David all of a sudden felt discouraged and a sense of defeat began to brew in his mind.

Every contestant was given only three days to cross the ten steps to finally becoming a formal student of Cygnis Academy. But the stair case had seemingly turned into an insurmountable mountain to the servants, obstructing them from becoming a formal student.

Countless servants had tried to pass the trial multiple times but only a few with taken d had the grace and opportunity to successfully pass the trial. Countless blood and sweat had dropped onto that same stairs for ages, making it look old but ancient and the intimidating waves it radiates increased by multiple folds.

David began to notice that he was already reaching his limits which instantly displeased him. Was he about to fail in this trial?

\'Impossible!\' his gaze hardened and his will renewed, a sudden idea popped up in his head and without hesitation, he started breathing according to the description of the Super sensory manual. 

His chest began to rise and fall, almost like a frogs\'. He suddenly began to notice the pressure weighing down on him was reducing by a lot and in just three seconds, the pressure reduced to the extent David felt as though he was still in the first step.

Delighted, he took the fifth step forwards, expecting the pressure to be like a large mountain weighing down on him but the pressure was only similar to the second step of the staircase. There was a lady there with her eyes closed, regulating her breathing and as she struggled to take her sixth step. 

He wasn\'t as distracted as before and he instantly reacted, taking another step forwards to the sixth step. Instantly coming into contact with the blue haired guy who was leading this batch of students. 

This move instantly shocked everyone who was watching him. He had come out of nowhere and was now suddenly dragging first place with the previous owner. The spectators were surprised. 

"Who is that guy?" Someone asked, perplexed. 

"Where did he come from?" Another muttered in slight confusion. 

"Wait a minute, don\'t tell me he\'s going to pass the trial before Lu Sheng? That\'s simply impossible! Lu Sheng is famous for being the most talented in the servant\'s block but as for this guy, I\'ve never heard of this kid before. Moreover, he seems new to the academy" another person instantly disagreed to this. 

"Look as this chest... H-he seems to be practicing a technique?" As the person said this, even he was unsure about his hypothesis. 

This instantly garnered the attention of the crowds and someone immediately reacted. "T-that seem to be the Cognitive Meditation!"

"Impossible! Even Lu Sheng and Elextra couldn\'t do that, there\'s now way this brat could do it." One of the head servant\'s lackeys Immediately refuted with spit spraying out from his mouth. 

Lady Quin\'s expression had turned ugly at this point as she noticed the change in David\'s pace and the fact that his chest was moving according to the breathing method recorded in the Beginner Supersensory method. 

At this rate, David had successfully touched upon the eight step with difficulty. Even when the technique had reduced the pressure by more than half for him, there was a massive drawback in using the technique. 

David\'s braincells had grown and its activities with it as he reached the initial Mortal Stage, enabling him the ability to withstand cultivating the technique for longer, for up to three minutes. 

After that three minutes, he would instantly slip into a deep sleep which would help recover his brain cells and electrons, so he could practice the technique more. 

But David had already used up the three minutes boost, meanwhile he was still in the eighth step of the staircase.

A wave of dizziness erupted from his brain and David felt as though the world was toppling. He chuckled bitterly as he thought. "Even after that, I still can\'t get to the tenth step."

His mind felt heavy and at the rate David was going, there was no way he would successfully reach the tenth step before the three days limit reached. 

A feeling of helpless erupted from within his heart, seemingly increasing by multiple folds as though his emotions had been enhanced by something. 

His right leg that was on the fourth thread of the staircase suddenly began to relax as though he wanted to move back. Moving backwards in the stairways meant that he had given up the competition which wasn\'t at all a shameful thing since it was advisable not to do more than ones might could withstand. 

Seeing this, lady Quins eyes narrowed into a smiling expression as her chubby cheeks squeezed her eyes into slits.

"Haha, the kid seems to have reached his limits. I bet he wouldn\'t last twenty minutes before he finally gives up." The lackeys laughed in mockery as they heaved a sigh of relief. 

"Seems like my backup plan doesn\'t need to be executed in any case." She smiled as she muttered meanwhile, her anger melted away like snow as she saw him about to give up.

Willing his mind, David struggled to stay still, keeping his body at that particular position while on his command, stiffening all of his muscles and bones due to his ability, making his body as still and straight as a pole, unmoving. 

Gritting his teeth, he chose to risk it and in the next second, he gave in to the darkness and instantly slipped into a deep sleep. 

Meanwhile the Lu Sheng had managed to reach the seventh step during the span of a day and a half. While Elextra was only a single step behind him. Dodging from their pace, it was obvious that they would likely reach the tenth step before the next day and a half ended. 

But as for David, he hadn\'t moved a single step in the past twelve hours wouldn\'t likely be able to move a single step anymore as it was obvious he had reached his limits. 

The people who were slightly expecting the rise if a dark horse sighed in pity. "If he only he had waited till he reached the Mid Mortal stage, then he would have passed the trial with ease."

"What a shame." They shook their heads and muttered in pity. 

At this moment, David\'s still body moved and his eyes flew open, although his eyes seem tired, they also seem to shine, full of energy. 

Taking in a large amount of air, David started again with the technique. In the blink of an eyes, the pressure around him reduced in an instant but even while they had been cut by more than half, David still felt as though he was carrying the weight of four mountains in his back, making him feel the urge to give up and confront the test another time. 

Gritting his teeth, his legs rose up and after struggling for the entire three minutes, his legs finally touched upon the ninth step right as his brain was starting to hurt and his nose starting to bleed. 

Relief flooded his being but he was feeling very exhausted at the moment, without even thinking about it, his body once again turned stiff, like a dead body would as he stood as straight as a pole with his head hanging right down.

"Look! He had managed to move again!" Someone instantly exclaimed as they saw David moved. 

The rest of the contestant who hadn\'t given up yet and were trying to their best to reach the next step immediately looked up. They were shocked as they were pretty sure David had reached his limits, how then did he manage to take such a difficult step. 

Lu Sheng\'s pupils constricted as he gazed at David with interest that was close to malice. He couldn\'t believe David had managed to reach the ninth step as an initial mortal stage practitioner. "He has to have something up his sleeves or a precious item aiding him with the trial. Seems that chubby girl might be right after all."

With that, he closed back his eyes and continued to meditate. Further distractions might decrease his chances of passing the trail. 

Another day passed by and finally, half a day was the only time left to pass the trial. Most of the contestant had given up by now while Elextra, David and Lu Sheng remained on the stairway. 

David\'s eyes flew wide open and multiple streaks of veins could be seen on his eyes, making his appear to glow red. Showing just how mentally exhausted he was. 

Not caring for that, David immediately repeated the process but then, his foot only reached halfway to the tenth step, seemingly impossible to pass. It was as though it was the single step leading from hell to heaven as David\'s foot refused to make that final step. 

David gritted his teeth and finally, he opened his mouth and two words flew out. "Fine, takeover."
