The candidates started to climb the stairs very fast.But each stair had a huge difference.Each stair had the pressure of an Elemental Grandmaster and the flames which were 1000c.Even Mazir had a hard time enduring the hotness and the pressure at the same time.They weren’t allowed to use artifacts,pills or anything else to lower the pressure and hotness but could only endure it with their own bodies.For Mazir this hotness was not really a lot but the flames mixed with the pressure were really hard to endure even for a expert like him.Ren was in no good shape,he had already started to become red and sweat.But compared to others he was at least a hundred times in a better condition.

A half of the candidates had already surrendered and were teleported outside of the Heaven Stairs.But they would never have the chance to try entering the Elemental Academy again.It was their fault for being overconfident and arrogant in their own power.Even absolute power might not save you in several situations.Even The Headmaster doesn’t dare to say that he is unbeatable.After all if the whole continent unites,even he might have no chance of surviving and defeating all his enemies.

Mazir had already reached the fifth stair.He was using a technique called “Void Body”.Void Body was a void technique of the sixth tier.It strengthened your body and made you capable of fighting an Elemental Grandmaster or at least enduring his pressure.He had already trained it to the advanced level and soon would reach the last level,Perfect Level.But it’s weakness was that you couldn’t use the technique too long or there would be a huge backslash which might be bad for you.

“Look who is leading!Isn’t that the boy who had a token?”

A single man had seen Mazir and Ren use the tokens.He shouted seeing their familiar faces.This made many people who had also seen them use the tokens look at the lead.Their eyes lit as they shouted,”That boy should be Mazir!He is the biggest genius of the Earth Kingdom and defeated the Wolf Prince who is a peak Elemental Spiritual Beast which can compare to the Extreme Realm Elemental Spiritual Beasts!”

“What?!Is he really that strong?Let me see him!”

Other people started to pay attention to Mazir and Ren more.They knew who Ren was but they had no idea who Mazir was.They only knew he was the number one genius of the Earth Kingdom and had defeat the Wolf Prince who few dared to challenge let alone claim that they had defeated him.Some girls even blushed for no reason.Was it that easy to fall in love?The men around sighed.

Mazir simply ignored them and quickly raised his speed even more.He had already reached a big speed but even so he still needed a few seconds to climb just one stair.Two minutes had passed and he barely was at the 20th stair.He had also started to sweat.Ren behind him was in an even worse condition as he was sweating like crazy.But he had still a lot of stamina inside his body.Mazir could feel his burning spirit.He knew he would still  last and not fall in the Body Refining Stage.

Mazir grinned,”It seems I will have to try harder to win against him.As expected of one of my two sworn brothers.” He took a huge breath and suddenly a wild and savage aura surrounded him.It was his killing intent.He used it to make the flames get scared of the killing intent or at least the cultivators making them.The Elemental Grandmaster pressure was still there but it was several times weaker and had almost stopped attacking and stopping Mazir now.It knew that stopping or even slowing him down anymore was impossible.

Mazir now looked like a wild beast or a demonic king beast.He had killed millions of beasts in his journeys.He had simply gathered a huge aura of death.If there was an Aura Master here he would feel his killing aura and probably faint from it.Few people could handle such a huge killing aura.

He had already reached the 20th stair.”Holy Shit!Is he really a human?!Look at his aura!”

“He is one of the hardcore cultivators!Risking their lives to train their cultivations!He probably killed more than one million beasts improving his cultivation!”

“I doubt he did.He probably uses a cultivation technique which uses killing beasts.”

The audience said their theories about Mazir and his techniques.He was really to mysterious.Even the few Elemental Grandmaster watching couldn’t see through him at all.Most of these Elemental Grandmasters were 200 to 1000 years old so it was shocking that they couldn’t see through his talent.

The youngest Elemental Grandmaster was 15 years old.He was once in a million years prodigy.The class of Elemental Grandmasters were simply people who used their clan’s resources to raise their strength faster.To enter the Grandmaster Realm you can’t simply skip the proccess of knowing loss.Master and Grandmaster are the levels were you refine your heart mastering your arts.

This tale has been unlawfully lifted from Royal Road. If you spot it on Amazon, please report it.

When you are an Elemental Grandmaster you can choose three ways:Natural,Evil and Good.But some simply choose the way they are.To become an Elemental Grandmaster you need to pass through the tribulation called the “Three Tribulations”.The Three Tribulations were :Fire,Lighting and Demon.The last one was fighting a demon who was at the Elemental Grandmaster Realm and only relied on his physical strength.It was certainly hard but most easily passed that.After the Demon Stage your body changed to a refined body.The impurities of the body would disappear and you would have it easier to use energy.Your energy would change to Refined Elemental Energy.It was a hundred times better than normal Elemental Energy and even a hundred Elemental Masters would be killed immediately before an Elemental Grandmaster who was furious

“Look!His body looks kinda of dark!”

“Did he use any technique?! I didn’t see the energy around him moving at all!”

“Is this even possible?!”

“No,it is possible.He used the smallest amount of energy to turn it into a shield which would help him minimize the hotness of the flames and the pressure of the Elemental Grandmaster.He really is a genius,that is sure!”

An old Elemental Grandmasters touched his white beard and said wisdomly.He was a peak Elemental Grandmaster.He was only 5000 years old and had 20.000 good years coming.Unfortunately he had chosen the natural way of breakthroughing thus he rarely broke through.But his power was comparable to a 3st star Elemental Lord.That showed how talented he was.He was forgotten by now but his power couldn’t be ignored.He was good friends with the headmaster.It seems that he was one of his last disciples in the last 5000 years that he had lived.

The headmaster loved his disciples a lot.Even if it was an Elemental King who killed or heavily injured them,he would certainly go and kill him.That was the reason thousands of millions of cultivators desired to become his disciples.They knew that even if they died they wouldn’t die for nothing.Revenge would come right under their dead bodies.

Meanwhile,at the Heaven Stairs,Mazir had already reached the 30th stair.He no longer was sweating and actually looked very well.Ren was behind him at the 20th stair.In third place was an twelve years old kid named Kan.Kan was an Elemental Spiritual Cultivator of the early layer.He had the biggest cultivation of all the kids out there.

Children in the Elemental Empire started cultivating when they were four,unlike children in the Seven Kingdoms which started at the age of six or even five rarely.Thus the cultivation of the Elemental Empire’s children was faster and better.That was the reason their cultivations in the same age was totally different.In the Fire Kingdom there was a prodigy which had already reached the intermediate layer of the Elemental Spiritual Realm at the age of just late 10 years old.Now that child was eleven.He was the crown prince of the Fire Kingdom.He was sent to the best academy inside the Fire Kingdom.The reason was as he had only the Fire element.Usually a person has only one element.Sometimes it happens to have two or have a different element from your kingdom.

There are many other elements.Especially in the Elemental Empire and the Elemental Kingdom.A few of them are :Chaos,Destruction,Life,Holy(A bit different from light),Body Strengthening,Beast Transforming,Spirit,Soul,Beast Master or even Death.But they were commonly rare.Only one in a hundred thousand had a different element.In other continents there are many other elements like : Star,Yang and Yin,Nature,Wood,Poison or even Magma and Lava which are the same thing.

Mazir was smiling.His smile was filled with excitement.He had never used his full power expect the time he fought the Bandit Boss years ago when he had just started being a cultivator.But he didn’t remember how he defeated him,Kongxu didn’t tell him anything.Kongxu currently was cultivating.He couldn’t help Mazir in everything.Only when he would enter the Elemental Master Realm would he wake up,that was what he had told him.

“Sigh,Then I will have to hurry and enter the Elemental Master Realm before I become fourteen or at least fifteen years old.”

Mazir said sighing.Ren behind him was also happy,”Brother!Let’s make a bet!The one who reaches the 100th stair first wins!”

Mazir nodded and they speed up,leaving the others far behind and tired...
