Hm?
Wu Yue was distracted for a moment and his muttering was picked up by Qin Baichuan's ears.
"You can't beat him? Wu Yue, what did you mean?"
Qin Baichuan's question alerted Wu Yue, snapping him out of his daze.
"You have a target?" Not only Qin Baichuan, but the others were similarly surprised.
This guy had just broken the record. What else could he be aiming for? What kind of person is this?
"Yes, chief!"
Wu Yue's face was serious, replying in a strong voice, "Truth be told before I met that person, my fastest record of clearing the obstacle course was 120 seconds! Just moments ago, my head was filled with the silhouette of that person. He was just in front of me. I was chasing after him every step of the way, but... I still lost..."
That... was that for real?
Everyone was skeptical, feeling as though they were listening to some fictional story.
"Is what you said real?" Qin Baichuan and the other Upper-Class Guardians' expressions turned serious.
"Absolutely!"
"Fang Hong, was there such a person?" Qin Baichuan looked towards Fang Hong.
Fang Hong nodded, then let out a long sigh and lamented, "That person is no ordinary human!"
After a moment's pause, he continued, "It was due to this person's appearance that I dared to have all the martial artists in my division to take part in this assessment. It was him that motivated all 15 of them, reawakening the passion in their hearts!"
"Indeed, I can sense the passion within the 15 of them that is not found in the rest," Qin Baichuan replied with a nod.
"That person is very strong. Unbelievably strong!" Even Fang Hong was at a loss of words to describe Ye Lingchen's prowess, "Simply put, if he was here, all those records would be a thing of the past."
"Chief Qin, to be honest, my past training regime was mechanical and it could be considered as wasting time! It was because of this person's appearance that brought out the motivation in me to aim for perfection. Not to brag, but if it was normal shooting conditions, all ten shots would hit the 10-point ring! However, even if that person had fired continuously, he would still hit 10-points for all 10 shots! Hence I must strive towards him as my goal! I no longer do this for the assessment, but to work towards a higher goal!" Wu Yue delivered his response in a firm voice.
"Excellent!" Qin Baichuan praised. He looked down from the observation platform and announced clearly, "Do you know what's the most important thing for a martial artist? It's not the combat prowess, but your soul! It's the mental state of a person, which we can also call it as a warrior's soul!"
"Only with a strong warrior's soul would you improve! Why would the 15 of them perform so well? That's because they have seen something much higher, and they're striving towards it! This is the strength they gained from their warrior's soul!"
