Fang Yun walked alone on the path to the second pavilion, lost in thought.

"This Book Mountain is truly challenging. I used to think that even if I couldn't reach the fourth mountain, it wouldn't be difficult for me to reach the third pavilion of the third mountain like the other four talented scholars. But now, I realize that I have underestimated the scholars of the world. The first pavilion is already this difficult, how much more challenging would the second pavilion or even the second mountain be? I must reflect on this!"

Upon reaching the second pavilion, Fang Yun noticed two accomplished scholars from the Semi-Saint prominent families looking at each other with a frustrated expression.

They seemed to sigh before they started writing on their papers.
