Chapter 2115: The Oriole Hiding Behind (1)
In the beginning, Big Sister Wei’s inaction and Su Luo’s meditative state were the targets of contempt and disdain from countless people. Then, when Big Sister Wei sprang into action, many people raised their eyebrows in surprise. In the end, Su Luo outshone everyone else and became the winner of Downstream Mountain.
Everything resembled a wonderful play. The unexpected events occurred rather unpredictably, and it was endlessly wonderful and exciting! The emotions of the spectators outside the tower followed along, fluctuating between despair and hope numerous times until the system announced Su Luo’s victory.
As Su Luo and her team exited the Tower of Trials, all eyes were fixed on her, wondering.
Then, the whispers followed.
“Su Luo really is amazing, I heard she is only in her teens; yet at such a young age, she has accomplished such an achievement.”
“Yeah, they started out so badly that I never would have expected them to perform so shockingly well in the end.”
“For us, we may not necessarily be able to cross a mountain even after a decade or longer, but she crossed two mountains successively in just a month. If she was able to pass another Tower of Trials assessment in Midstream Mountain and gain three consecutive championships, her name would be forever engraved on the Hall of Honor!”
“Fairy Wu You was also very impressive initially, but she pales in comparison with Su Luo.”
“Yes, although Fairy Wu You was also very good, she only passed one Tower of Trials assessment in a month unlike Su Luo, who continuously passed two Tower of Trials assessments.”
“So, is Su Luo actually more powerful than Fairy Wu You?”
“Well, that isn’t necessarily true. Fairy Wu You is already in the top 50s and may improve in the next assessment. Su Luo is only ranked 201 now, which is still very far behind.”
For a moment, the speculation grew extremely intense.
The spectators heaped praises and compliments of all sorts on Su Luo.
Su Luo heard every compliment they made; an ordinary person in her shoes would definitely be on cloud nine. However, calm that person might be, humans were vain creatures. How could you not enjoy being praised?
However, what was rare was that Su Luo remained calm from her heart to her facial expressions, there had been absolutely no change in her face or the slightest ripple in the depths of her eyes, as if all these had nothing to do with her.
Old Ning looked at Su Luo with a slight smile in his eyes. This little girl’s gaze was indeed pretty good. It was just barely enough to persuade him to personally undertake the task of presenting her these Soul Essences.
At the same moment, Su Luo walked straight towards the area where Old Ning was standing. This time, she had a faint smile on her lips.
Her footsteps were light and her skirt did not flutter at all, but the steps were quick.
Su Luo stood in before the Guardian, smiling faintly as she looked directly at him.
The Guardian narrowed his eyes slightly and asked. “Is anything the matter?”
The corner of Su Luo’s lips curled: “Does this count as me having passed this Tower of Trials assessment of Downstream Mountain?”
“Naturally,” said the Guardian concisely.
“I heard that if you passed this level, there would be a reward. Have you perhaps forgotten?” Su Luo already knew that the Guardian did not have a good impression of her, so she didn’t bother with a respectful attitude.
The Guardian’s brows furrowed, as he had yet to meet such a brazen candidate.
Old Ning stroked his beard and chuckled: “Yes, there should be a reward. Why don’t you take it out and show it to us? It's not yours anyway, why are you hiding it?”
Everyone was curious after hearing what Old Ning said, and shifted their gaze to the Guardian. The Guardian almost flew into a rage out of humiliation.
