Anna sighed. "Then listen carefully."
Her expression turned serious. "The first several shadows are difficult, but talented newcomers can still handle them. The real separation starts around the seventh shadow. From there on, the trial stops caring whether you're merely strong for your cultivation realm, and it begins testing whether you have what it takes to stand among the true geniuses of the Godslayer's Pilgrimage."
Damian leaned forward slightly.
"Do you know how many people who enter the Godslayer's Pilgrimage ever manage to beat the eighth shadow?" Anna asked.
Max shook his head.
Anna raised two fingers. "Roughly twenty percent."
Max's expression shifted a little.
Revona frowned. "Only twenty percent?"
