Xue Xian Hou felt relieved after hearing the report from the teacher of Xue Yun, he then sat back in his chair and focused his attention on this second round of examination.
Master Xue Yun also sat back in his chair to watch this exam because his beloved disciple was also still taking part in this second round of examinations.
Upon seeing the accident that had happened to Xue Xianzi, the participants became even more cautious as they passed through the barbed tree barrier. However, of the five participants who tried after Xua Xianzi, none of them had succeeded.
All the participants mostly gave up on the tenth board because they did not manage to find the movement pattern of the thorny tree obstacle course whose movements became increasingly rapid.
"Alright now it's the turn of participant number seven, Xue Xiang please come forward," shouted the teacher Xue Yin.
All eyes were on Xue Xiang as he was the only participant considered capable of rivaling Xue Xianzi's abilities. But Xue Xianzi was unable to cross this hurdle, had Xue Xiang been able to pass through all of these obstacles.
Xue Xiang walked slowly towards the edge of the pond, he looked nervous and insecure. Seeing that the mental state of his beloved disciple was faltering, teacher Xue Yun shouted in support.
"Xiang'er rest assured on your abilities. Stay focused on getting past the obstacles before your eyes, don't let the doubts in your mind haunt your path to move forward" teacher Xue Yun said.
Xue Xiang turned to teacher Xue Yun and nodded his head a sign he understood his teacher's words and slowly the doubts in his mind began to fade. He stepped confidently towards the starting line that was on the edge of the pool.
"The good words of Xue Yun, your words successfully aroused the confidence and spirit of your disciples," Xue Xian Hou said in praise.
"Thank you Sect Master," replied teacher Xue Yun.
Xue Xiang took a deep breath to clear his mind, he focused his attention only on the obstacles of the thorny tree that kept moving.
Once he felt the timing of the time was right, he immediately jumped onto the first board and continued jumping onto the next board with ease.
He had a slight advantage as he did not advance first, so he could see how Xue Xianzi was going through this hurdle.
In just five minutes, though, Xue Xiang had already reached the tenth board and stopped his steps for a moment to pay attention to the movements of the thorny tree again because it was on this tenth board that the previous five participants gave up and did not continue jumping onto the eleventh board. Only Xue Xianzi managed to get through it.
After observing for a minute, he finally found the right time and jumped back until he finally stopped for the second time on the sixteenth board.
Xue Xiang discovered that the movement of the thorny tree in front of him was different from the thorny tree he had previously passed by when he saw a leaf fall down and approached the thorny tree. The thorny tree immediately moved quickly as the leaf approached.
"So apparently it was like that, the tree obstacles on these last two boards turned out to be moving even faster when there were other objects approaching him," Xue Xiang thought.
Xue Xiang jumped zigzaggingly to pass through the sixteen thorny tree barrier.
When the tree on the right moves closer to him, he will jump to the left to get away from the tree. After successfully passing through it he will immediately change the direction of his jump in the air to point to the right to stay away from the thorny tree on the left.
Using the same means, he also made it past the seventeenth hurdle of the thorny tree and finally reached the finish line of the eighteenth board.
Xue Xiang smiled widely to express his excitement for successfully passing this round two examination.
The spectators who had since seen Xue Xiang's amazing action gave a standing ovation as a sign of their admiration.
Guiding teachers who sit on the jury bench also do not forget to applaud because of the success of their students.
"Teacher Xue Yun, this disciple of yours is very intelligent and meticulous. He had successfully surpassed Xue Xianzi in this round," Xue Xian Hou said.
"The Master Sect was too praised, Xue Xianzi was also very great because of her action in the first trial of this second round examination, Xue Xiang was finally able to find a way to pass through the obstacles in this second round," said teacher Xue Yun humbled.
"You don't have to be humble, Xue Xiang's success reaching the finish line has shown him to have better abilities than Xue Xianzi" Xue Xian Hou said.
Master Xue Yun simply smiled at Xue Xian Hou's words and showed a joyous expression of pride at the success of his disciple.
"Congratulations Xue Xiang. You are the first player to pass the second round of the competition. I'm proud of your concentration and agility" said Teacher Xue Yin, who was the leader of the second round of exams.
"Thank you teacher Xue Yin for the praise but the actual success this time was inseparable from the words of teacher Xue Yun who had raised my spirits and dispelled my doubts when I was about to enter this round two examination," said Xue Xiang.
"Your teacher would be very proud to hear these words. Now you please sit over there observing the action of the next participant," replied the teacher Xue Yin smiling.
Xue Xiang directly went to the seat that was to the right of the judges' seats. This chair is a chair that is prepared for participants who pass the second round exam.
Before he sat down, he took the time to approach teacher Xue Yun. "Teacher thanks for the support. Because of the words that the teacher had spoken, I was able to make it through all the obstacles that were present in this exam.”
Master Xue Yun smiled at Xue Xiang's words. "This is proof of your hard training so far, not just because of the words of the teacher. You've made me proud."
"Thank you teacher," Xue Xiang said as he saluted and sat down to his chair.
The other guidance teachers also gave a smile when they saw the courtesy of Xue Xiang.
"This child is indeed better than Xianzi in every way. If only Xianzi could be as good as him, I would definitely not hesitate to hand over the Sect Master's seat to him," Xue Xian Hou thought after seeing Xue Xiang's nature up close.
"Alright, there are already participants who have successfully passed the second round exam in this competition, I hope that the next participants can also successfully qualify like Xue Xiang. Let's move on to the next player. The number eight participant Xue Wu please come forward," shouted the teacher Xue Yin.
