Alex and the others started walking through the trial before picking up some pace after knowing the trick behind the trial. It would seem that the first hundred contained energy of foundation rank, and they noticed that the next a hundred planks were for Martial Master.
This actually made Alex confused. After all, the minimum requirement for this trial was Martial Emperor. By going with the requirement, the pressure from the Martial Emperor would be from 501st to 600th planks.
Looking at each participant's power, people should only start dropping around the Martial Emperor Planks. The problem would be what would happen if they stepped onto the 601st plank, would they get Martial Monarch's pressure?
And what would they get after entering the next a hundred and so on? Alex couldn't say anything though, considering he only stepped onto the 300th plank while the other had arrived at least the 400th mark.
