As the mental fortitude test concluded, a silent stillness filled the hall.
The performances of the more than three thousand geniuses unfolded like a vast scroll, ultimately freezing on the astonishing feat of Li Wen, who had walked one hundred and ninety steps with the steadiness of a boulder.
This achievement stood like an insurmountable peak, making the geniuses who came after him seem dim and lackluster in comparison.
Even so, there were some with resolute wills, like a young man from a small nation who had endured countless hardships to get here. He finally stopped at one hundred and fifty steps, earning a slight nod from the Chuhe King.
Among the top performers from the first test of strength, only Du Yun and Fang Chenghong of Red Flame Star had managed to cross the hundred-step threshold.
The rest, despite displaying impressive willpower, couldn't help but appear dim when overshadowed by Li Wen's ridiculous score.
