Liam's focused expression told the Disciplinary Elder that the test had started, so he diverted his attention to address the other disciples.
"You can disperse," The Disciplinary Elder declared. "The Black Bow's test is long and arduous. You won't see any results today."
"Disciplinary Elder," Joel called before the Elder could turn. "The Sect's records state that time flows quickly inside the test. Won't that make immediate results possible?"
"Disciple Joel, your research is accurate," The Disciplinary Elder praised, crossing his arms to wear a stern stance, "But incomplete."
The Elder looked at the sitting disciple again, and everyone on the plateau followed his gaze.
"The Black Bow's maker famously believed that cultivators' overreliance on Qi hindered the pursuit of true skill," The Disciplinary Elder revealed. "The test reflects that belief, depriving a cultivator of Qi, physical enhancements, and inborn advantages."
