When the Hall Masters saw Zhaang Ye come to a stop, they just assumed he wanted to rest for a bit. But to their surprise, Zhaang Ye stood there in the Ancient Passage for five whole days!
A lot can happen in five days.
On the first day, Situ Houtu caught up. Seeing Zhaang Ye standing motionless, he figured Zhaang Ye had finally gotten tired and was taking a break. A wild joy surged in his heart as he quickly picked up his pace, passed Zhaang Ye, and continued onward.
On the fourth day, Feng Tongming caught up. After watching Zhaang Ye clear the trial, she seemed to have an epiphany. It only took her four short days to decipher the third Puppet's Combat Skill, successfully pass its test, and enter the Ancient Passage.
Seeing Zhaang Ye standing there quietly, she initially wanted to say something to him. But when she sensed the powerful aura faintly emanating from his body, she realized he might be in the middle of Cultivation. She shook her head slightly and strode onward.
