Mrs. and Mr. Smith
Chapter 1776

Chapter 1776: Chapter 1776: Difficulty_1 Chapter 1776: Chapter 1776: Difficulty_1 The people around discussed in hushed tones, seemingly quite curious about the three strangers.

“I think I know who those guys are,” someone whispered.

“The tallest and fairest one should be Forrest Middleton from the Southern Province, known as the number one person in the Southern Province.”

“Forrest Middleton? Is he very powerful?”

“Very powerful. He once almost flattened the entire Rayleigh Province, but was stopped by the dead river. It doesn't make sense; why would he come to the Thunder Courtyard?”

“Who is the short little girl next to him? Is she also joining Demon-slaying Peak?”

“I don't know, but she's so cute. Is she here to be a mascot?”

As the crowd continued to gossip, Ethan Smith appeared quite ordinary among the three, and no one paid any attention to him.

“Peak master, I have a question,” Ethan Smith suddenly spoke up.

The peak master nodded: “Ask whatever you want.”

“How often does Demon-slaying Peak go out, and how many so-called demon-slaying expeditions are there in total?” Ethan Smith furrowed his brows.

If the number was too low, it wouldn't be worth the risk for Ethan Smith.

The peak master casually answered: “We have lots of missions. As for how many, it's up to you. Demon-slaying Peak will never force anyone.”

“Of course, if you haven't accepted a mission within a month, you will automatically be expelled from Demon-slaying Peak.”

Ethan Smith thought to himself: “It seems that there are quite a few missions here. It's somewhat similar to the Hunter organization I was in before.”

Immediately after, Ethan Smith asked again, “Are there missions to the Central Province?”

The peak master paused, frowning, “Why are you asking this?”

“I have always been yearning for the Central Province,” Ethan Smith casually replied.

The peak master smiled and said, “Yes, there are, but no one here wants to take a mission to the Central Province because the tasks there are the most dangerous and there's a high chance of never coming back.”

Ethan Smith's heart leapt with joy. He eagerly asked, “In that case, is teleportation formation used to go to the Central Province?”

“Isn't that obvious?” The peak master replied, rolling his eyes.

After obtaining this information, Ethan Smith took a deep breath.

He looked forward at the array and said, “Alright, activate the formation.”

The peak master didn't waste any words. He waved his hand, mobilizing the energies of heaven and earth while muttering incantations under his breath.

Soon, eight array flags flew out from his palm and landed in the eight corners of the formation. In a short while, the formation burst forth with brilliant light!

The powerful pressure was intimidating; even from a distance, it could be felt intensely.

Ethan Smith's forehead couldn't help but break out in a bead of sweat.

It was impossible not to be nervous; with Ethan Smith's current state, it was difficult for him to pass through this formation.

“Never mind,” Forrest Middleton suddenly said, looking at Ethan Smith.

Ethan Smith shook his head, gritting his teeth, “If this was for devouring the primordial spirit, I could give up. But this is the only place that can take me to the Central Province, so I have to give it a try no matter what.”

With that, Ethan Smith took heavy steps towards the formation!

The moment he stepped into the formation, Ethan Smith felt as if he was being crushed by the weight of thousands of pounds!

Though his physical body was extremely strong, it did not possess the slightest strength at this moment.

Ethan Smith tried to mobilize the power in his body, but a wave of pain followed closely, causing his vision to blur and almost knocking him to the ground!

Seeing Ethan Smith's swaying figure, the onlookers couldn't help but snicker.

“This has got to be the weakest one I've ever seen.”

“That's right. When I went through this formation, I wouldn't say it was easy, but it wasn't much different.”

“Why would someone in this state want to join our Demon-slaying Peak?”

Hearing the crowd's comments, Salena Carpenter became increasingly impatient. She clenched her small fists and furiously glared at the people across from her.

Forrest Middleton patted her shoulder, signalling her not to cause any trouble.

Meanwhile, the peak master's eyebrows also furrowed slightly.

“Why is he so weak? Why would the dean agree to let him enter Thunder Courtyard…” The peak master wondered, frowning.

Within the formation, Ethan Smith clenched his teeth, enduring the pain with each difficult step forward.

As he continued to walk, the pressure on his body increased!

The pain intensified even more as Ethan Smith tried his best to bring out his strength!

Under the intensity of the pain, Ethan Smith's vision had almost turned black, as if he could fall at any moment!

His body was swaying, seemingly fragile.

Seeing this, the peak master couldn't help but shake his head and muttered: “It seems this one will have a hard time passing. He's not even halfway through, how can he make it the rest of the way?”

While in the formation, Ethan Smith continued to grit his teeth.

Although his sight became increasingly blurry and the pain grew stronger, he gritted his teeth and showed no signs of giving up!

Ethan Smith, soaked in sweat, was on the verge of losing his orientation as his legs trembled continuously.

“Thud!”

Finally, Ethan Smith could no longer bear the immense pain.

He fell to one knee, nearly being flattened by the enormous pressure!

“Tsk, tsk, as expected, he failed,” the onlookers sighed with regret upon seeing this.

The peak master waved his hand, preparing to close the formation.

But right at that moment, Ethan Smith managed to unsteadily stand up once again!

Struggling to support his body, he continued to move forward!

This time, the pain became even more intense!

Just enduring this pain alone would have been enough to send someone into shock!

“It's meaningless to continue like this,” the peak master said coldly.

However, Ethan Smith paid no mind to his words. He let out low growls, resembling a wild beast on the brink of going berserk!

Pushing his body, he staggered forward step by step, seemingly about to collapse under the immense pressure!

Throughout the process, Ethan Smith was constantly brought to his knees, yet he kept standing back up time and time again!

“Admirable spirit, but his strength is too weak,” the onlookers shook their heads.

“If you continue like this, you may die here. The pressure ahead is much stronger than what you're experiencing now!” the peak master scolded.

How could Ethan Smith give up? No matter what obstacles he faced, nothing could stop his determination!

Salena Carpenter couldn't bear to watch him struggle, biting her red lips. She quietly released a wisp of energy, intending to help Ethan Smith through this ordeal.

However, the moment she released her energy, it was ruthlessly severed by the peak master.

He coldly stared at Salena Carpenter, warning her telepathically: “If you try to cheat again, I will disqualify him instantly.”

Salena Carpenter had no choice but to watch helplessly as Ethan Smith struggled to advance.

Finally, Ethan Smith reached the end of the formation.

Just as the peak master said, the pressure here far exceeded the combined pressure from the entire journey!

At this moment, Ethan Smith seemed to have lost his ability to resist completely.

The combination of intense pain and pressure brought him to the ground, his vision engulfed in endless darkness.
