Affinity: Chaos

Chapter 1731: Ice Chamber III

Those from the Crescent Moon had been curious about what the result for those from the Moonlight Faction would be like, and seeing the first person step forward, they all looked with interest. The difference between the situation of the Pyrmond Faction,, when they visited the Pyro World and the Moonlight Factionʼs experience was clear to see.

The members of the Crescent Moon Faction, especially the youths, didnʼt put these people from the outside world into their eyes. To them, these people who have been training in a place with a weaker essence than their own couldnʼt compare.

The young lady was one of the few in the Early stages of the Sovereign Plane, she is regarded as one of the elites among the younger generation in the Moonlight Faction. Although she knew she couldnʼt compare to these people, she didnʼt feel she would be too far behind; at worst, she would only do a bit worse than the best of them.

The young lady soon got to the ice wall, calming her racing heart, she placed her palm on the ice wall. She knew her performance would affect the morale of her Faction, hence increasing the pressure she was feeling.

The floors on the ice wall soon started to glow, the first floor and then the second, and it continued rising at a fast speed before slowing down after getting to the seventh light. The intensity of the light diminished after getting to the First Order of the Seventh floor, and just as it was about to stop, the light of the Second Order on the Eighth floor lit up, although barely, it could be said to have gotten to the Eighth floor.

The young lady heaved a sigh, a bit happy she was able to get past the first seven floors, but ultimately disappointed that she only stopped at the Second Order of the Eighth floor, and she knew that were it not for her squeezing out every single potential she had in her body to increase her chances of having a higher floor, she mightʼve stopped in the Seventh floor.

Her result couldnʼt be said to be particularly bad, but it also wasnʼt outstanding. However, being able to make it up to the Eighth floor showed that she could be regarded as someone who had above-average aptitude in terms of her ice abilities. One shouldnʼt forget that barely over ten percent of the people who have stepped forward to be tested have been able to get past the Seventh floor, for this, the young lady was happy.

Those from the Crescent Moon Faction looked at the young lady with a hint of surprise, not expecting her to reach the Eighth floor. Most of the people who passed the test were on the Eighth and Ninth floor, and there were a few with cultivation higher than this young lady, which showed that her talent wasnʼt any worse than theirs, they only just had a better starting point in terms of cultivating since they have stayed in this place all their lives.

Anyone who successfully passes the test is given the option to directly enter the chamber or wait until the entire testing period is over. Everyone opted to wait since they all wanted to see which floor the top geniuses from the Crescent Moon would get.

Most of the youths were gathered together and spoke enthusiastically. From their conversations, Klaus found out that the Thirteenth floor had not been opened for thousands of years due to no one being able to meet the requirements. During the past three occasions, the Ice Chamber has been opened, the Second Order of the Twelfth floor has been the highest anyone has reached, and during the previous thousand years, only two people have gotten to the Twelfth floor, and both of them stopped in the Second Order, not even being able to get to the First Order.

This place was quite lively as people streamed in and out. Some people will naturally have to leave the building since it couldnʼt contain all those who wanted to try out for the test. Luckily, the number of people who could get past the Seventh floor was quite low, so the number of people who remained in the Hall after their test was relatively small.

A few more minutes went by, and the number of people who had passed the Seventh floor had gotten to just over twenty people, and the number of people who had tried out the test had passed over three hundred people. Of the Moonlight Factionʼs group, almost twenty of them had tried the test out, and only four more passed the test like the first young lady. One of them even went as high as making it to the First Order of the Ninth floor, but seeing that at least half of those from the Crescent Moon Faction were on the Ninth Floor, First and Second Orders, respectively, they didnʼt feel too impressed.

The Crescent Moon Faction hasnʼt sent out anyone in the Mid stages of the Sovereign Plane, and most of those who have stepped out were those in the Venerable Plane, as well as a few in the Early stages of the Sovereign Plane.

The two with the highest floor from the Moonlight Faction were in the Early stages of the Sovereign Plane. Of the five, one got to the Ninth floor, while the other got to the Eighth floor, and the remaining three all stopped at the Seventh floor.

Klausʼ gaze went to those in the Mid and Late stages of the Sovereign Plane from the Crescent Moon and curiously waited for what their results would be. A Water Elementalistʼs ice abilities aptitude is mostly directly linked with their innate abilities as a Water Elementalist which also affects the speed of their cultivation, but it isnʼt always the case. Take for instance, the person with the best result at the moment isnʼt the one with the highest cultivation stage, even though she is a few years older than those close to her result.
