Chapter 516

Nine thousand steps

Seven thousand one hundred steps, seven thousand two hundred steps, seven thousand three hundred steps … Seven thousand eight hundred steps, seven thousand nine hundred steps …

At this moment, whether it was the leaders of the various forces on the platform or the many genius cultivators on the square, they all stared fixedly at the dot of light that represented Lv Yitao. Everyone's eyes were filled with excitement and shock.

"It's already seven thousand nine hundred steps, but Lv Yitao doesn't seem to have slowed down at all. That's a little too abnormal!"

"As expected of the number one expert of the younger generation in Muqin County. He's actually far ahead of the person in second place by almost five thousand steps. The difference is really huge!"

"That Zhuowen is actually not bad. It's already extremely terrifying to be able to reach three thousand steps. However, Lv Yitao is too terrifying. He's actually able to reach such a height."

Countless uproars rang out on the platform and square. After witnessing Lv Yitao's terrifying performance, Zhuowen's stunning performance from before seemed insignificant.

At this moment, Lv Yitao was several streets ahead of Zhuowen in both speed and height.

"Look, Lv Yitao has reached the eight thousandth step. He's so fast!

It's only been half a day, but he's already crossed the thousandth step and reached the eight thousandth step. This Lv Yitao is truly shocking! "

No one knew who shouted, but the geniuses in the square all burst into an uproar. They were all shocked by Lv Yitao's terrifying performance.

In the most spacious corner of the plaza, Luo Xing, Zhu Chi, Qin Batian, and Xu Tianliang silently stood there. The four of them stared at the identity token in their hands as shock appeared on their faces.

"Brother Lv has really hidden his strength well!

I originally thought that the difference between us wasn't that great, but now it looks like it's like the difference between heaven and earth! "

Zhu Chi's scarlet eyes flickered when he saw Lv Yitao reach the eight thousandth step. He sighed softly and couldn't help but reveal a look of admiration on his face.

The other three didn't say anything, but it was clear from their expressions that they were completely convinced of Lv Yitao's strength. Although it was rumored that Lv Yitao had only recently ascended to the Ultimate Emperor Realm, the strength and results that Lv Yitao had displayed were probably even more terrifying than an ordinary Ultimate Emperor Realm expert!

"But what qualifications does that little bastard Zhuowen have to be second place?

This little bastard must have taken advantage of this Zhong Ling Mountain. "Suddenly, Xu Tianliang's gaze condensed on the light spot of the second place and he coldly snorted with a gloomy expression.

"This Zhuowen is indeed a little strange!

Didn't you notice that every time that kid crossed the 055th step, he would deliberately stop for a period of time? In other words, there must be some kind of secret or shortcut in Zhong Ling Mountain, and it just so happened that this Zhuowen discovered it. "

Zhu Chi's scarlet eyes flickered and a trace of coldness appeared on his face. Obviously, Zhu Chi was extremely displeased that Zhuowen, who he had never taken seriously, had surpassed him.

"What you said is possible. When this Zhuowen entered Zhong Ling Mountain, his cultivation was only at the Ultimate Emperor Realm. Even if he has the Mental Power of an Initial Grade Four, it's unlikely that he could compete with us, let alone surpass us!

Moreover, I don't believe that this kid could have made consecutive breakthroughs in Zhong Ling Mountain. The most likely possibility is that this kid took advantage of the opportunity. "

Qin Batian nodded in agreement. Although the best explanation for Zhuowen's situation was that he had made consecutive breakthroughs, they were all very clear that the environment of Zhong Ling Mountain was too harsh. A cultivator wouldn't be able to cultivate in peace, let alone make a breakthrough. It was simply impossible.

Luo Xing didn't say anything, but her beautiful eyes flickered slightly. Her line of sight secretly glanced at the light spot that represented Zhuowen in the token. No one knew what she was thinking.

"Brother Qin, Brother Zhu!

For this Zhuowen to be able to climb so high in Zhong Ling Mountain, there must be a big secret in his body. After Zhong Ling Mountain is over, we will go to the fourth level to fight for the ancient inheritance. How about we get rid of this Zhuowen first?

At that time, the secret on his body will be divided equally between the three of us. "

Xu Tianliang rolled his eyes and suddenly greeted Zhu Chi and Qin Batian with a warm attitude.

"Oh?

You plan to deal with this Zhuowen? "

Hearing this, Zhu Chi's scarlet eyes flashed and his face showed a hint of interest. In his opinion, Zhuowen was able to climb so high because of his secret, not his strength.

In the end, in his opinion, this Zhuowen was simply an insignificant person. The reason why he was able to surpass him in Zhong Ling Mountain was only because of luck.

"This Zhuowen is indeed interesting!

If Brother Xu is willing to take the lead, this Zhu is naturally willing to cooperate with you. "

Zhu Chi wasn't an idiot. Although he could freely act on the fourth level, he wouldn't be the one to take the lead. After all, Lü Nantian was extremely strict with the rules, so he still needed Xu Tianliang to take the lead.

Xu Tianliang's face slightly changed. How could he not understand Zhu Chi's meaning? The latter wanted him to take the lead.

"If Brother Zhu can help me get rid of this Zhuowen, what's wrong with me taking the lead?" Xu Tianliang smiled faintly, but his eyes were filled with coldness.

"Then what does Brother Qin think?" As he spoke, Xu Tianliang's gaze fell on Qin Batian.

"I won't get involved in this matter!

If you guys want to get rid of that Zhuowen, go ahead. Don't drag me in. "Qin Batian shook his head.

Qin Batian faintly felt that Zhuowen wasn't simple, so he didn't plan to join forces with Xu Tianliang to deal with that Zhuowen. After all, he had no enmity with Zhuowen.

Luo Xing, who was not far away, heard Xu Tianliang's words clearly. Especially when she heard that they wanted to deal with Zhuowen, Luo Xing frowned and wanted to speak up to stop them.

However, when she thought of the scene when Zhuowen rejected her invitation, Luo Xing felt an inexplicable discomfort in her heart. In the end, she didn't speak up and maintained her silence.

Time slowly passed, and another two days passed. Since Lv Yitao climbed to the eight thousandth step, he had stayed on the eight thousandth step for two days. Obviously, the next step was quite difficult for him. At this moment, he was silently recuperating.

During these two days, Zhuowen still did what he was supposed to do in Zhong Ling Mountain. Relying on the rule of the five hundred steps, Zhuowen would absorb a limited amount of Spirit Qi in Zhong Ling Mountain every time. Then, he would silently climb to the five hundred steps and repeatedly absorb Spirit Qi to increase the number of acupoints in his body.

Two days had allowed him to reach the four thousandth step. Such a height was enough to shock everyone. After all, Zhuo Wen was only an unknown genius. Anyone would find it inconceivable that he could reach such a height.

Unfortunately, everyone's eyes were no longer on Zhuowen. Instead, they were focused on the light spot represented by Lv Yitao. They all knew that Lv Yitao was the most promising person to reach the top of Zhong Ling Mountain in so many rounds of the Tower of Vitality Battle.

They knew that they were likely to witness the birth of a new record. Everyone knew that the highest record of Zhong Ling Mountain was set by the number one genius of the previous Tower of Vitality Battle, Lv Hantian.

At that time, Lv Hantian had reached the nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-ninth step of Zhong Ling Mountain. He was only one step away from the summit. However, this last step was the most terrifying step in Zhong Ling Mountain. Even the talented Lv Hantian couldn't withstand this last step and had no fate with the summit.

But now, another genius who was comparable to Lv Hantian had appeared. That was the number one genius of the House of Marquis Qin, Lv Yitao. He was also Lv Hantian's junior. Everyone wanted to see if Lv Yitao could break Lv Hantian's record.

"Lv Yitao moved!

After resting for two days, Lv Yitao finally moved. Moreover, his speed wasn't slow. He's really too strong. The pressure of eight thousand steps should be extremely terrifying. Lv Yitao can withstand this pressure and move so fast. He's really heaven-defying. "

When the light spot representing Lv Yitao finally moved, everyone's hearts seemed to be seized. Their eyes were fixed on Lv Yitao's light spot.

"On the summit …"

Slightly heavy footsteps slowly reverberated on the stairs. The indifferent expression on Lv Yitao's face had long disappeared and was replaced by an extremely solemn expression.

The pressure after eight thousand steps had reached an extremely terrifying level. It was as if thousands of mountains were pressing down on one's spine. No matter how confident Lv Yitao was, he didn't dare to walk at night. He only dared to walk during the day when he had cultivated to the peak.

"I will definitely be able to break Lu Hantian's record and reach the top of the mountain. There, I will be able to transform and obtain the power I want."

The sound of heavy breathing continued to ring out. Lv Yitao's expression was firm as he strode forward. His gaze pierced through the heavy fog and focused on the peak of the mountain. There, the towering stone statue became even clearer.

He wanted to see what the stone statue on the peak of the mountain looked like.

What did it look like?

What was its origin?

Eight thousand one hundred steps, eight thousand two hundred steps, eight thousand three hundred steps … eight thousand five hundred steps … eight thousand seven hundred steps …

Slowly, Lv Yitao steadily moved towards the nine thousandth step. He knew that as long as he reached the nine thousandth step, he would be able to have a good rest and readjust his state.

"Step over!

I must reach the nine thousandth step, I must … "

With a low shout, the aura in Lv Yitao's body suddenly soared several times. His speed also increased sharply. He directly crossed the eight thousand nine hundred steps and reached the nine thousandth step.

Huff!

Gently exhaling, Lv Yitao's face revealed a trace of relief. He smiled and said, "I've finally reached the nine thousandth step. I only need to recuperate on this step for a few days and readjust my state to the peak. Then, I will be able to sprint towards the last one thousand steps."

"I wonder if Zhuowen has left Zhong Ling Mountain?

I think he shouldn't be able to hold on. After all, it has already been ten days. With his strength, it's unlikely that he can hold on for so long. "

As he spoke, Lv Yitao took out an identity token from his bosom. His gaze gathered on the light spot in second place. Immediately, Lv Yitao's expression stiffened. This was because he discovered that the light spot in second place had not dimmed.
