"Young Master Adam!"
Adam's Guardian Saint hurried over to check on Adam's condition.
"Cough cough..." Adam was the first one to fail the trial without dying.
This should indicate that, although he wasn't recognized by the formation as a Tianjiao, he's nearly at the critical point of becoming one.
Being able to ascend over ninety steps of the Cloud Ladder, it seems the formation showed leniency towards him.
Thus, his punishment wasn't thunder, but Wind Blade.
If it had been thunder, even someone at the fifth stage of Grandmaster wouldn't withstand it, and would have been shattered by its power.
In contrast, the Wind Blade only inflicted severe injuries on him, without leading to his fall and death.
"Cough cough..." Adam coughed violently, spitting out fresh blood, while his Guardian Saint anxiously checked his body.
He found that although Adam was gravely injured, the sickness wasn't life-threatening, which allowed him to breathe a sigh of relief.
