After hearing these words, Telhi could not help but blurt out in a low voice, "Can he really do it? What if he doesn't know what he's doing, and ends up causing our spiritual energy to lose control which may in turn damage our channels?"
Ash hesitated for a moment. In the end, he gritted his teeth and said, "Relax everyone, brother Ezra is not a reckless person. He understands the gravity of the situation."
Ash was reputable individual, so everyone else could only nod after hearing his words.
No one else said anything as they began to direct the spiritual in their bodies, following the route indicated by the Gossamer Steps technique.
As such, the area around the creek grew silent.
Every gaze on both sides of the creek unblinkingly watched this scene.
By the creek, the only sound to be heard was the gurgling of flowing water.
Time seemed to slowly slip past as the water flowed. Two hours quickly passed, however, there was still no activity.
Natli yawned as she said in a bored voice, "Is he out of moves or something?"
Mahi frowned. "As someone who has not practices the Gossamer Steps technique, can you cut down on your comments? Sensing yarns is not that easy, and he's even doing it for a dozen people. How strong do you think his spiritual energy have to be?"
After being scolded by calm and smiling Mahi, Natli could only pout unhappily as she viciously stared at Ezra and said, "Then I'll watch and see how long he can keep up this act!"
Time continued to flow, and another two hours swift passed.
Faint grumbling due to impatience could already be heard from both sides of the creek. Only the disciples that practiced the Gossamer Steps technique before understood its difficulty, and continued to wait in silence.
Time continued to flow, and the six hour mark soon approached.
Warm light fell from the sky, shining on Ezra's body, making the young man seem as if he was glowing brightly at this moment.
It was at this very moment that Ezra's tightly shut eyes abruptly opened.
"Release your control!"
Ezra's voice sounded in the ears of Ash and the rest, causing their hearts to shake violently as they involuntarily gave up control of the spiritual energy in their bodies.
The instant this happened, they felt an external force direct the spiritual energy in their bodies, guiding it through their channels. A dozen minutes later, their spiritual energy suddenly turned, ferociously charging towards a certain spot in their bodies.
~SWOOSH SWOOSH~
At the moment of impact, Ash, Telhi and the rest suddenly felt a strong vibration spread from inside their bodies. Next, they were astonished to feel something being knitted at the location that energy had struck.
A yarn had appeared within their senses.
The energy in their bodies began to dribble in little by little. Yes, it's really been knitted!
Ash and the rest opened their eyes at this moment, eyes filled with disbelief.
"Haha, it's been knitted, the yarn has appeared and knitted!" Some of the others were unable to hold back their emotions as they began to dance and laugh.
~HURRAAYY~
An uproar exploded on both sides of the creek at this moment, every disciple dumbstruck by the outcome.
"What? Knitted? He helped a dozen people knit their yarns at the same time?" Some of the disciples whom had practiced the Gossamer Steps technique even jumped in shock, a stunned look on their faces as they mumbled, "This can't be true, right?"
They clearly understood how troublesome and difficult it was to sense yarns. And yet, Ezra had just succeeded in helping not only one, but a dozen individuals sense their yarns at the same time? Just how strong were his spiritual energy?
"It can't be." Natli's mouth hung wide open, unable to stop herself from saying, "All of this must be part of an act, right?"
After she said this, even she did not believe herself. Afterall, it was too easy to expose such an act.
But if it wasn't an act, wouldn't that mean it was real?
Natli's eyes glimmered as she gazed at Ezra's figure and mumbled, "To think that he's truly so capable!"
The commotion did not stop for a long time, everyone stuck in shock. All of a sudden, everyone's burning gazes turned towards Ezra.
The prince turned a blind eye to these gazes as he tiredly massaged his forehead. Helping a dozen people at once had indeed exhausted his spiritual energy.
"Brother Ezra, you're way too amazing!" Ash's face was flushed with excitement.
Beside him, the lips of the girl called Telhi moved, the shock on her face yet to fade away completely. She had clearly been shocked silly by Ezra's feat.
The prince waved his hand at them, before lifting his head and looking towards the countless figures on both sides of the creek with a calm expression as his indifferent voice sounded.
"After my earlier testing, I've discovered that my ability is limited, so I've decided to restrict the maximum number to a hundred individuals. I will no longer accept anyone once this number is reached."
The prince's words instantly caused his surroundings to fall silent.
Numerous disciples blinked. Didn't this mean there were only a hundred quotas?
The silence only lasted for a few minutes before suddenly being disrupted by a chaotic outbreak.
One could only watch as figure after figure descended like locusts, heading straight for the creek, while frenzied shouts rang out one after another.
"Me! I want to sign up!"
"Me too!"
"Big bro, please save a spot for me!"
"..."
Natli Teum watched as mayhem descended upon the creek as she swallowed. Soon after, she smiled charmingly as she looked towards Ravina and sweetly said, "Ravina, you're quite close to Ezra. Can you tell him to help me in my technique too."
Ravina rolled her eyes, before also casting her gaze towards that figure below as a faint smile rose from the corners of her lips. "This guy was now going to be famous."
