Chapter 2024
“Is James going to give it another try?”
“I wonder if that earthling can pass the third barrier.”
Many had gathered by the third barrier after failing to pass. They all wondered if James could accomplish what they
could not.
James emptied his mind and removed all impurities before taking a step forward. At the same time, he discharged
Psynergy that sensed his surroundings, and every movement of the golems surfaced in his mind. He could clearly
see the trajectory of their attacks, thereby allowing him to dodge in advance.
As he dodged agilely, he pressed onward.
Soon, he was at the 200-meter mark.
However, the golems’ attack speed accelerated. Even though James could sense their incoming attacks, he could
not dodge them in time.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHis shoulder was struck, sending excruciating pain throughout his body. Meanwhile, he was showing signs of falling
over. After being struck once, James suffered many more injuries from the golems.
As blood trickled down from his lips, he silently murmured, “Calm down, James.”
Immediately, he catalyzed Ataraxia, and his mind began to clear.
However, it was no use. He could not dodge the golems’ attack in time. Their speed was extraordinary, and their
force great. Even though he possessed impressive rejuvenating abilities, he only managed to proceed for another
fifty meters before conceding defeat.
He hurriedly retreated to his starting point. Wiping the blood trace off his lips, he looked at Marcello dejectedly and
said, “I failed again. I think you should go on without me. The Son of Heaven has already left for three days. You
might not be able to catch up if you linger around here any longer.”
Marcello bit his lips. He truly wanted to help James out.
However, it appeared that James would not be able to gain insight into the techniques he imparted to him in a short
amount of time. It was not James’ fault. In fact, it was impressive enough that he managed to accomplish this much
in just a few days.
“Alright, then I’ll be taking my leave. But don’t be dismayed. This Celestial Abode has nine barriers, with each more
difficult than the one before. In my opinion, it might take years for any of us to reach the end. So, cultivate well,
James.”
“Mhm.” James nodded.
Leaving that remark, Marcello swiftly left.
Upon seeing Marcello pass through the third barrier, the crowd was dumbfounded. Many tried with all their strength
and barely made it. Now, Marcello managed to pass the third barrier just like that.
It stunned everyone.
“Who is he?”
“He’s so powerful… He managed to pass the barrier so easily.”
“He seems to be well-acquainted with James.”
Many conversed as they glanced at James.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmJames, however, paid no heed to them. He stood before the golem formation and contemplated how best to
proceed.
Though passing the golem formation was nigh impossible, the Celestial Abode was simply too enticing.
“Marcello said it might take years for anyone to pass all nine barriers. I might still have a chance,” he murmured.
Then, he sat in a lotus position on the ground and meditated, contemplating and sensing everything Marcello had
taught him.
‘Conditioned reflex?’
Marcello said that it would allow the body to acquire conditioned reflexes. He would be able to pass the barrier
easily that way. However, accomplishing it was hard.
After thinking for a moment, James settled for a simple plan. He would challenge the barrier repeatedly despite the
injuries he may suffer. After all, he had cultivated the Novenary Golden Body Siddhi, and the golem formation was
the perfect spot to train his physical body.
James believed that his body would eventually learn to acquire the conditioned reflex ability sooner or later after
being pummelled as many times as needed.
