Mark had just set his foot over the track, crossing the grey coloured line seen at the beginning of the wide testing track.Bizz!
The invisible barrier has been activated, blocking the entrance and making the ones who enter, entrapped within.
The testers are unable to escape out the track, unless they gave up the test, or cross the yellow line which was present four hundred meters ahead them which was filled with many challenges for them to face on.
" Nothing unusual had happened huh... " Mark had expected the existence of a high cla.s.s illusionary array over the tract.
Like those present in his old life, where travelling thousands of meters inside, that may be filled with numerous traps and challenges was equivalent to covering a single meter in the actual world.
Such a complex mechanism used to be present, but the track had nearly dissapointed him, until an incoming attack in the form of an arrow had been launched on him.
Whoos.h.!.+
An grey tipped arrow was heading straight towards him, which had been aimed towards his head.
Catch!
" An old trick unexpected of this arena, but considering the force contained within it, these arrows could easily kill an ordinary cultivator below the aura grand master cultivation. "

A single arrow being shot was not that much of a deal, but what about tens or even hundreds.
Considering the possibility of thousands of these arrows being shot at once could not considered to be non existent.
Under the conditions where the testers mana has been restricted and several of these arrows being shot at once, these small arrows could turn deadly, if one were to underestimate them.
Since the arrow before was set as a warning to the testers. Mark had not dared at underestimating this track, and decided to take one step at a time in a slow pace, that didn"t triggered much of a challenges to begin with.
Ten meters... Twenty meters... Fifty meters.
Mark had finally covered half way to the white line that demarcated the beginning of the second division.
Pull!
Mark had started to experience a slight increase in his body weight. Seems like alteration of gravity was the cause behind it.
" Isn"t this the gravitation pull exclaimed by Arlong earlier. A restriction based on the element of s.p.a.ce! "
At the same time a wooden puppet which was few feet larger than mark had appeared before him.
It had a rough humanoid shape, with a marked circular joints that helped in its articulation.
With five finger like expressions from its upper limbs, it had been carrying a long steel chain, studded with many sharp th.o.r.n.y attachments, was made to rip off a person"s flesh apart.
When mark looked at its attributes, he made a sigh, thinking " Such a easy target indeed, but with the mana being restricted, the difficulty had raised to an another level, but not to a case where it could threaten me. "

Punch!
The metal chain had barely managed to make a scratch on his knuckles, but broke out into pieces after being clas.h.i.+ng against mark"s fist.
Mark took a step forward and made a straight drive, rotating his shoulders and lowering his body at the same time to maximize the impact and finish off the puppet before him in one clean shot.
Crack!
Put!
The abdomen piece of the puppet had started developing cracks and broken down to pieces, which had scattered around the floor surrounding him, with a central white coloured core being seen distinctly present on the floor.
Though the puppet was not much of a threat to him, to the extent where he had to use his entire worth of raw strength over it.
Mark was left with no other choice, as dragging the fight longer could necessarily trigger more traps, than he could handle at present to begin with.
The audience were startled. " Such an overwhelming victory! "
A spectator had bellowed out in shock, as had been greatly troubled by the overwhelming victory of mark.
He made a bid on the chances where mark could not even defeat the division master to begin with, nevertheless the ruthless power exhibited out by him earlier that could easily defeat the ongoing division master he was about to face in the second part of the track.
Many other spectators had a mild distress over their faces, as their fortune had been wasted away under the wrong decision to place a bid against the favor of mark, in clearing the first part of the test. But there were few who were at cloud nine as they decided to put their hopes on mark.
Though they know that the old timers from the upper management were playing tricks at this place, they reasoned that a character like mark, who had incited the greed of upper management couldn"t necessarily fall at the first division of the test track to beginning with.
Mark was able to see other testers besides him, who were fighting the division masters of the first division in groups of two.
They had almost reached the periphery of the white line, few couple of metres to reach the next part of the track, but Levi was not seen around them.
When mark had looked around for Levi, but he found a small silhouette which was eye catching as it was moving at an extremely high speed, fighting a metal colored puppet, that looked more of a human than the wooden colored one finished off by him earlier.
That small silhouette was taking its time, devastating the parts of the puppet, one by one, eventually split it into two greater parts with a bronze colored saber, and landed on top the lump of the puppets body which had fallen to the floor.
Turns out to be levi, she had completed the second part of the test track while the others had just started fighting the division boss of the first part in groups, excluding mark.
Placing the green colour core in his palm mark sighed, " A small green colored core is the resting point of this part ah!
That Levi, she went far ahead leaving others behind meters away from her, and these spectators, by looking at the dissatisfaction on their faces I could very well interpret that they made a bid and lost, as I had finished off this wooden guardian before me, overwhelmingly. "
One after the other, mark had cleared the minor traps set in the front of him and went straight to the second part, after crossing the white line.
By this time the two groups of testers had finished off the division masters respectively and were heading straight to the white line at a rapid pace.
They were all the cultivators at the lord realm, but a little existence of a person who has not surmounted to such realm had surpa.s.sed their expectations and finished off the division master single handed before their group could do.
Though the traps were triggering at a rapid scale, they had not bothered about them begin with, as the sight before them had the figure of mark who had crossed the white line before them.
Mark entered the testing track after they had entered, but had crossed the second line ( white ) before they could even finish off the division master in the first part itself.
Not bothering about the four behind him mark had continued moving forward, with a new set of traps being triggered at random, that didn"t just include arrows or spears, but also the hidden mechanisms that started popping on the floor at random.
Each blow mark recieves by it had almost pushed his body backwards, but nevertheless mark had manage to stabilize his body and had also reached the 50th meter on the second part where the gravity had raised again by a small scale, making his body slightly a bit more sluggish than before.
If not for his laws of s.p.a.ce, mark couldn"t had been able to move his body as freely as he has done since the beginning of the test.
After destroying the Iron coloured puppet ( The division master of the second division ) which was also a bit more stronger than the one before, mark had headed straight to the green line and entered the third part of the track.
" This is just too easy! Why doesn"t it seems any more mischievous, scheming and threatening as exclaimed by system earlier? I know that she couldn"t go wrong, but what was the danger she mentioned before? " Mark was not sure about the danger lying before him, but could see that Levi was chopping off the third division masters body like pieces of paper.
" A cultivator of king cla.s.s right! What could this lord cla.s.s puppet before her amount for then? Other than being a stepping stone for her. " Exclaiming internally mark had decide to move towards the next line which was blue, to enter the forth part.
Author"s notes:
The real part of the test of talents will be unveiled in the following chapter.
The wooden coloured, iron coloured division masters are non living ent.i.ty and are also of less importance, so not added them to chatecters added, if any suggestion, comment on it XD ?
