Chapter 64 – Ye w.a.n.g’s expression changed!
Su Ming eyes opened, on his body were only three blood veins left! While looking at the last three blood veins on his chest, Su Ming stood up.
He took a deep breath, he was in no hurry to advance, rather he turned around to look at the thick fog obscuring the path he came from, clearly he had come a long way.
“These last three blood veins would have to wait until I reach the seven hundred and eighty-first step.” Su Ming gazed towards the mountain peak, his eyes gradually starting to shine.
“Other that that, I will have to see just how far I can go!” Su Ming raised his feet, moving it towards the five hundred and sixty-fourth step. Without hesitation, he had continued his step-by-step advance onward!
Each step he took was another step up the slope, the previously crazy eruptions no longer appeared on Su Ming’s body, showing no signs of stopping, he advanced with a hint of calmness.
His expression was calm, his entire being was calm like an ancient well, slowly and gradually he walked onto the five hundred and seventy-third step, then the five hundred and seventy-eighth step, the five hundred and eighty-second step…… and still continued onward.
Following his advance, the blood veins on his body slowly surfaced, that sound of breakthrough once more resonating, the instant he took this calm step, another blood veins had appeared!
On this path, this was where Su Ming walked the path of the powerful, in his life, this was a major transformation! Where his cultivation evolved, where his spirit advanced!
Su Ming’s advance, each and every step Su Ming took was reflected on the ranking statues on the plaza, each time the number beside his name changed, the audience’s hearts in the plaza seemed to skip a beat.
“Five hundred and ninety-seven, five hundred and ninety-eight, five hundred and ninety-nine…… six hundred!!! He actually reached the six hundredth step! This was where Ye w.a.n.g stopped at yesterday!”
“He is still walking on, six hundred and one, six hundred and two…… does Ye w.a.n.g not notice, the distance between might still be far, but at this rate, he would be overtaken in a while!”
In this plaza, because of Su Ming’s movement, the sounds of people’s discussion arose once more, but this time, their voices were hushed unlike before.
In addition to the audience who were here from the start, the plaza now had a new gathering of people, these people were the top fifty partic.i.p.ants of their tribe gathered into a circle.
“This Ye w.a.n.g is really too confident…… he has a habit of never looking at the rankings on the tablet.”
“Its naturally so, in his heart, Ye w.a.n.g’s rival is but himself, others just don’t have the qualification.”
“Hehe, I wonder if this Mo Su would have the qualification to be his rival, he is already at the six hundred and thirty-fifth step, this Mo Su is really impressive, I truly am not his match!”
“Actually, I really want Ye w.a.n.g to take a gander at that ranking tablet, I wonder what his expression would become once he realises that Mo Su is just behind him,would he remain dismissive? Or perhaps would he be excited?”
In the audience, two different groups of people had different discussions. Compared to those partic.i.p.ant, there was another gathering of powerhouses, these people were the various tribal leaders, their cultivation determined their powerful viewpoints.
The Wu Long tribe old lady gazed at the name Mo Su, her eyes revealed concern and worry, she just couldn’t figure out who he was. Although she was full of praise, to her, no matter which tribe he came from it was definitely not the Feng Zhen Tribe, which meant that this person appearance was very significant.
“It’s a pity, this person is not from my Wu Long Tribe, else I would definitely give my all to help his cultivation!” This old lady inwardly sighed as she took a glance at Bai Ling and Si Kong at her side.
“Si Kong is still unable to take a heavy responsibility, sigh, my Wu Long tribe has truly withered…… as for Bai Ling, she only has some good feelings towards that Su Ming, she is still unable to differentiate love and grace, if that wild boy does not come around, this feeling should fade eventually.
What qualification does that Su Ming think he has to come pursue my grand-daughter, well unless he his this mysterious Mo Su……” This old lady laughed as she thought.
In the distance, the Hei Shan Tribe’s patriarch was staring at Mo Su’s name on the statues, within his cold gaze, a hint of shock could be seen.
“Since he was young, Bi Su was personally guided by the Mán-Elder and had surpa.s.sed the rest of his generation, if not for our Mán-Elder’s breakthrough, and becoming able to stand as equals with that Jing Nan, he would not have let Bi Su become exposed.
But that Mo Su, just where did he pop out from, which tribe did he come from…… this kind of person must be controlled by my Hei Shan Tribe, else it is better for him to be killed!”
On the plaza, the highest ranked person was Jing Nan, standing there, he gazed at the ranked on the statue, seeing the number currently at the six hundred and seventy-seven behind Mo Su’s name constantly raising, his pupils shrank although he still maintained his calm demeanor, as if this incident was insufficient to make him shocked.
“Mo Sang, after this test is over, let Su Ming remain in my Feng Zhen Tribe…… here would be more beneficial for him.” Seeing that number changing to six hundred and eighty-four, Jing Nan slowly spoke.
Hearing Jing Nan’s words, Mo Sang lightly smiled, in his heart, he was also shocked by Su Ming’s performance, but he naturally had his own intention for hiding Su Ming’s cultivation.
“There is no need to rush this matter, discussing after the grand tests have ended is still not too late.” Mo Sang slowly spoke, as he gazed at the name Mo Su on the statue, his eyes were filled with love.
Seeing Mo Sang not instantly refuse, Jing Nan’s eyes flashed, he understood that perhaps his offer was not sufficient for him to covet this person.
“If he makes it to the seven hundred and fiftieth step, I will give him the same benefits of the leader’s son, like Chen Chong and Wu Sen. If he makes it to the eight hundredth step, I will give him the treatment of the Mán-Child!” Jing Nan slowly spoke.
“And if he goes even higher?” Mo Sang turned to look at Jing Nan.
“Even higher? Good, if he makes it to the eight hundred and fifty step, I will give him the same treatment and benefits as Ye w.a.n.g, if he can make it to the nine hundredth step, if he is willing to enter my Feng Zhen Tribe and reaches the awakened realm before Ye w.a.n.g he will be our Mán-Child!” Jing Nan deeply spoke as he looked at Mo Sang open his mouth once more.
“He is already on the seven hundredth step.” Mo Sang smilingly said.
Seven hundredth step!! Su Ming’s breathing was haggard, his sweat pouring as he stood on the seven hundredth step, dawn was quickly approaching, as the moon faded away, walking up here under this pressure was extremely difficult for him.
As he came here, several more blood veins had appeared on his body, but Su Ming did not pay attention to the specific number, in his mind, his only goal was just to keep walking until he had reached his true limit!
After catching his breath, Su Ming once more moved his feet towards the seven hundred and first step.
The current Ye w.a.n.g was sitting cross-legged on the eight hundred and third step on the side opposite Su Ming, completely unmoving, the entire mountain was peaceful where he was.
Once dawn approached, the moment the moon started to fade, and the sun about to rise, Ye w.a.n.g opened his eyes and looked towards the skies.
“Tomorrow will be the last push, this time I must go all in and reach the nine hundredth step!” Ye w.a.n.g mumbled, the edge of his lips curling into a confident smile.
“I guess that there would not be many people left on this mountain, other than myself there must be less than ten people. I wonder if anyone made it past the five hundred and sixty-second step.
There probably isn’t!” Ye w.a.n.g’s expression was calm as usual, after taking a deep breath, he ended up taking out the tablet and have a look.
He originally wanted to just see who was left here, just to see where they were as he waited for dawn to approach.
His expression was calm as his gaze just moved along on the ranking tablet, but the moment he retracted his gaze, his entire person shook, as he looked once more.
Ranked second, Mo Su, seven hundred and sixteen steps.
“Mo Su…… advancing in the night, how utterly stupid!” Ye w.a.n.g thought for awhile before retracting his gaze, his eyes closed once more as he calmly meditated, waiting for the next day to arrive, seemingly not the slightest bit anxious, but his eyelids seemed to occasionally twitch, as he seemed to have trouble attaining inner peace.
Su Ming was panting as he continued to advance, his mind was blank as he pushed onwards, as he continued to advance, the number of blood veins on his body kept rising, each new one seemingly helping push him forward further.
As the crazily pushed forth, he had walked onto the seven hundred and twenty fifth step, seven hundred and thirty-eighth step, the seven hundred and fifty first step, the seven hundred and sixty-third step, the seven hundred and seventy ninth step……
His body continued to growl, as his legs trembled, his body swaying, each step he took seemed to fill his body with pain, especially on his legs.
Gritting his teeth, Su Ming lifted his feet again as he reached the seven hundred and eightieth step, he was only one step away from his goal of the seven hundred and eighty-first step!!
His eyes were red, a flaming red, seemingly slowly burning Su Ming’s body into ashes, seeing that he was just one step away, the blood veins in Su Ming’s body surged once more, squeezing out one last shred of energy as he raised his feet onto this seven hundred and eighty-first step.
The moment his feet landed, his body seemed unable to withstand the pressure as he started to collapse, Su Ming let out a roar. He must make this step, he must!!!
Raising his left hand, he bit his index finger and furiously wiped this b.l.o.o.d.y finger across his eyes, to think that he actually wanted to try and achieve his third kindling here!!
The instant the blood on his index finger touched his eyes, the entire mountain shook as if the skies had crumbled!! A wild beast roaring as the fog around the mountain seemingly transforming into a whirlpool!!
On the eight hundred and third step, Ye w.a.n.g who had finally calmed himself down, suddenly shook, he heard that powerful roar coming from the mountain and could clearly feel the mountain seemingly roaring and shaking, a truly unbelievable change.
He opened his eyes as his pupils immediately constricted, he had a feeling that this change definitely had something to do with that Mo Su person!
He unthinkingly took out the table and took his second look, seeing the number behind Su Ming was already seven hundred and eighty one, Ye w.a.n.g’s expression immediately changed and he stood up!
