chapter seven

In ancient times, before the creation of humans, the jinn existed and ruled over the earth. In one of their greatest kingdoms, Safar, a magnificent one-eyed jinn was born. His parents hoped that he would be the triumph of justice.

Finally, the ordeal had passed peacefully, and none of them remained behind. It was an exhausting trial, and many were eliminated. John and a hundred others had made it through after half an hour.

When the "Speed Test" begin, everyone who passed moved on to the next test site.

The test was as follows: each participant had to run on a 100-meter track. The ground beneath them would gradually collapse into a shock-absorbing pit. The collapsing ground would follow a specific pace, accelerating over time. If the participant failed to outrun the falling ground, they would be eliminated.

To pass, one had to match or exceed the speed of the collapsing ground. The use of instant teleportation, portals, or flying was strictly prohibited, but spiritual energy could be used.

Greed was excited about this idea and said, "Finally, I can test the electronic shoes I designed!"

John asked, "And how will you use them here?"

Greed replied confidently, "Simple—I will power them with my spiritual energy. Since I have the ability to manipulate energy, they will enhance my speed significantly."

Everyone stood at their designated tracks, ready for the challenge.

The examiner counted down: "Three… Two… One… Go!"

Greed charged his shoes with energy and dashed forward at an incredible speed, vanishing in the blink of an eye.

John, however, hesitated for a moment. Then he remembered that he could use Ronin's ability, and as he started running, his speed soon surpassed that of Greed.
