>>5970890>>5970896>>5970900"Ping Jun, do you think you can hold on? I think we should press on and move up."
<span class="mu-s">Yeah, give me a couple seconds...</span>"
The boy starts shining in a golden hue. He seems faster, and his subsequent jumps reaches the higher level easily.
"<span class="mu-g">I won't let you show off in my family's secret realm!</span>"
The nimble young mistress follows, and you feel like the lotus are moving around to help her. It's unfair.
Maybe the growth realm techniques will work here? You breath, but no wind rise.
Luckily, your friend haven't seen you acting weird. Thus, in a more traditional way, you follow in their wake, gathering your energy and propelling your movement technique.
You gather <span class="mu-s"><span class="mu-r">Qi and Blood</span></span> in your leg, pulling energy for the <span class="mu-s">Unlimited Ground-contracting Kick</span> - every centimeter will matter in your jump...
>28 : Failure.You overshot by two handful of centimeter. Realization downs you : you're not much familiar with that technique - you haven't had time to practice it after all - and it seems empowered in that realm, resulting in your miss.
You already see yourself plummeting humiliatingly out of the secret realm...
>95 from Young Mistress"<span class="mu-g">Fellow Daoist Quiet Word!</span>"
The lotus moved, catching you before you fall.
"<span class="mu-g">Are you okay? Hold up I'll help you!</span>"
The condescension stings more than half as much as the humiliation you would have suffered falling out of this realm.
"<span class="mu-g">Camon, you beat me in the Stable Lotus tournament, I chose you first in my group, give me some face!</span>"
You felt like your pride was hit by a double technique akin to your double talon strike.
Anyway, with the help of the Young Mistress, you reach Ping Jun up to the 9th layer.
"<span class="mu-s">You Okay? Scared me!</span>"
Before you can answer, a movement down makes you glance : another team of disciples. 10 or 11 year old. None that you know.
You realize it means you're the first group in the secret realm.
"<span class="mu-g">Alright. Either we try to climb some more, or we stay at that level looking for treasures.</span>"
>Keep climbing the layers>Go explore sideways
