"Finally arrived!"
A young girl wearing tight blue pants and a grey robe stood in front of a gigantic pillar and sighed.
Her beautiful black eyes scanned the ground while her glowing skin was hidden by the robe. She looked at the entrance of the pillar which was occupied by several people.
As she walked toward it, she noticed more and more people trying to enter the pillar. But before they could enter the pillar, they had to register.
The same goes for her.
She walked up to the side of the entrance where there was an old man sitting on a chair while holding a pen over a note.
After a few minutes, it was finally her turn.
She walked up to the old man as he asked without even looking at her.
"Name?"
"Yeosho Nomu." The young girl coldly replied. Her voice was frighteningly cold.
"Drop your blood on it." The old man didn't care about her voice. He just raised a small black stone and asked.
Yeosho slashed her finger with a knife and dropped her blood on it. A few seconds later, the wound on her finger started to heal.
The internal energy was slowly reaching her finger but it was hard to trace it.
After dropping her blood, she walked away but the old man's gaze changed a bit. He had been sitting in this place for years but only a few times he would actually change his expression.
'Interesting! Internal energy that can hasten the regeneration by several times. I wonder how she cultivated her internal energy. What kind of Martial Technique did she use?'
'Forget it! Whatever happens to her is none of my business. I just need to keep registering the young people who want to challenge the pillar. But, it won't be that easy.'
Unfortunately, Yeosho was unaware of his thoughts. She just walked toward the entrance. Some people started to notice her.
Although she was keeping her breath hidden, she was still visible in the eyes of others. So, when they saw her, they got curious.
After all, not everyone can come to this place to challenge this pillar. Only a few people selected from sects can enter this place.
And, if you don't belong to the sect, you need to find it yourself.
This place existed at the unknown plane of existence that can only be entered through a portal.
The majority of the portals are controlled by sects. Only some can be found in dangerous places. Yeosho did enter one of those places to find this place.
City of Sin!
It was an extremely violent place where breathing kills you. Just stepping on that city means only the strong can survive. No rules, no governing body, and no boundaries.
But, also extremely useful resources and background. It was said that anyone who survives in this city can transform from an ordinary person to a genius.
That's why many people take risks and march toward that place. If successful, they will no longer be constrained by the gap in talent.
Yeosho went to this place, survived for three months, and finally gathered enough contributions to enter the portal.
Now, she had only one goal. Conquer this Pillar!
She took a step forward and finally entered the portal. When she entered, she felt a strange power scanning her body.
'It must be for those who try to enter without entry.'
After going out in this world for six months, she learned a lot, especially how dark people's hearts can be.
A few times, she almost died.
But, with her strong willpower, she managed to survive.
Now that she has seen the world's face, she could perceive other's thoughts through their conversation alone.
Whether they are good for her or not.
She was no longer a girl from a small town.
Though she also understood her gap with Neyol.
Just how far she was from reaching Neyol's wisdom. She understood why Kim chose her to be the head of an intelligent department and become his Wisdom.
In fact, it was one of the reasons why she came to this place. She was known for his Wealth. After all, that was her responsibility but she couldn't earn a lot.
She couldn't find or sustain the wealth. So, she decided to enter this pillar.
The wealth of an entire generation of a great family was hidden in this pillar.
It's just that it would take a lot to get that wealth.
After all, thousands of people have failed. And, all of them were geniuses.
But, she had confidence in herself. She knew without any confidence she can't get that wealth.
As she walked forward, her body suddenly vanished and appeared inside a strange room.
A few seconds later, a blue box with several words written on it appeared.
[Power, Wealth, Talent! Martial Emperor Sung Ming had it all. He was approved by Heaven as the most talented person in the world. He had the wealth that could rival the kingdom and the power that was unshakable.]
[Before his death, he hid power, wealth, and talent inside the Pillar of Heaven. Only those who have the heart to challenge his Will can get his Power, Wealth, and Talent]
Reading the introduction, Yeosho was slightly surprised. A talented recognized by Heaven to be the strongest. Even Kim's talent wasn't that good.
Power that was unshakable. Although he died, she heard of the stories that even several top powerhouses in this world couldn't defeat him together.
Finally, the thing that made her most excited. Wealth that can compete with the kingdom. After living with Neyol for a long time, she understood the terrifying wealth of the kingdom.
There are over a hundred million people in the Human Kingdom. And, twenty percent of them are martial artists.
Just being a martial artist even if they are low can change their fate. The wealth that martial artists could bring can easily satisfy ten ordinary families.
But, even if you combine the wealth of all one hundred million people, they can barely reach half of the Royal Family's wealth.
That much wealth the family that rules the kingdom holds. Not to mention, they could also use the people's money.
But now, the wealth of Emperor Sung Ming could counter that wealth. It means if she could get this much wealth, she wouldn't have to worry about anything at all.
As she looked up, the blue box disappeared and a new blue box appeared.
[Test 1- Fight a phantom that has your strength
Reward- Summoning Contract Scroll, Next Test
Punishment- Kicked out for a month]
Looking at the box, her eyes flinched. She clenched her hands and stared at the front.
Soon, small dots of blue light appeared and started to merge until a figure of herself appeared in front of her. But unlike her skin, it was blue. And, it didn't look much like a human.
"Hoo"
Yeosho released a deep breath and her fist opened. Suddenly, her body started to vibrate and a series of lightning bolts gathered at her palm.
She threw away her robe and it suddenly changed. The grey turned into golden color and the texture became more like liquid.
The lightning bolts revolved around the golden liquid and formed a long spear.
As soon as the spear was formed, the phantom in front of her released the lightning bolts.
These lightning bolts transformed into a long spear on her hand. And, the next moment both of them charged toward each other.
[Electromagnetic Field- Activate]
Suddenly, the aura around her changed. A strange blue layer of lightning covered her and the golden spear started vibrating.
When they reached near each other, the phantom thrust the spear toward Yeosho but suddenly, a golden light pierced through its chest.
[Sonic Burst]
Bang!
The golden spear appeared several meters away and struck the wall. It stabbed the wall but it didn't manage to pierce it completely.
The blue phantom stood in front of her without moving. There was a big hole in her chest. Soon, the blue phantom reverted back to blue dots and disappeared.
And, a new blue box appeared in front of her. At the same time, a small golden scroll appeared in mid-air.
[Congratulation on crossing the first test]
[Your performance has been ranked]
At this moment, a new list appeared in front of her. In that list, only five people's names were recorded.
After a few seconds, a new name appears on that list.
[Yeosho Nomu]
Seeing her name on the list, Yeosho couldn't help but smile. She raised her hand the golden spear changed back to a golden liquid and returned to her hand.
She picked up the golden scroll and thought.
'Neyol said that there are various types of summoning animals. I wonder what kind of animal would I be able to summon. But I should leave that for later.'
'Right now, I might be able to cross a few more tests with the Magnetic Field alone. Kim was right. That encounter really changed my fate. But, I won't be restrained by this ability alone.'
'When I reach the top of this test, I will finally get a chance to show it.'
'Golden Flash'
