A few of the Outer Disciples looked confused, but I saw many more exchange knowing looks with those around them. Obviously, a test that involved only walking across a hallway wouldn't use an ordinary hallway. The exit door itself, which looked identical to the entrance door, was enchanted, or had arrays or something, which gave off substantial spiritual pressure. At first, I matched Li Han stride for stride as did Shokoya and Qun Xing, but I fell slightly behind at about halfway, once the spiritual pressure reached substantial amounts to me.
They were both at the peak of Earth Rank, so it made sense that they were not yet troubled. Too, Shokoya was at the peak of the 8th Realm just like me, having focused more on his cultivation base overall than I had while I'd killed two Darkhorn Bison, so matching my stride to this point wasn't a surprise. Still, by this point the others were already faltering much worse than the four of us.
