C49 Bold bold envelope

Just as everyone was astonished by Ye Yang's achievements, they suddenly found a figure rushing towards them like there was no any obstacles. After a few breaths, it had already passed the 100th step.

"Heavens, what is happening? Is this the difference between people?" A disciple who was struggling at the 150th step lamented in his heart.

He was so desperate, because he saw a figure flashed past him. In the blink of an eye, it was already past the 200th step.

In the time it took to burn a joss stick, Mu Bai had already reached the 300th step. In an hour, he had reached the 500th step. Then he climbed onto the 599th step in two hours.

Taking a deep breath, he took a step forward. Mu Bai had already stepped onto the 600th step; his body shook slightly and then stood steadily.

Suddenly, the disciples on Nine Nether Sky Stairway were all shocked. Mu Bai had only started climbing when Ye Yang was resting, so his target was obviously Ye Yang.

Furthermore, the time it took him to reach the 600th step was much shorter than Ye Yang spent. And it seemed like he was not in a bad situation, so he might be able to continue climbing.

Currently, three people had climbed more than 599 steps: Ye Yang, Lan Caidie and Mu Bai. Now, Lan Caidie had already climbed up to the 607th step, and was still climbing up seriously.

In Tianwu Academy, there was a pavilion right at the opposite of Nine Nether Sky Stairway, from the pavilion one could clearly see the scene in front of them. The white-robed principal and the chief examiner were sipping tea as they watched the scene on Nine Nether Sky Stairway.

When the chief examiner saw Mu Bai stepping onto the 600th step, he faintly smiled and said, "I didn't expect our Tianwu Academy to be so lucky this time, obtaining two rarely seen geniuses consecutively."

The white-robed principal looked ahead with a complicated expression. He shook his head and said, "They are indeed geniuses. However, I have a feeling that our Tianwu Academy will not be at peace in the future."

"Ha-ha, having some boisterous students is also good; our academy has always been in a dull atmosphere and appears no vitality. The disciples from Eight Desolations City were indeed bullied too much, but we can't do anything about it due to the rules," the chief examiner said with a sigh.

"He-he, the times are different now. Just you watch, the ones who will suffer in the future will only be people from Nan Li City. A good saying has it that what they do to others will be done in turn to them. Here, take a look at this and you'll know." The white-robed principal gave a small booklet to the chief examiner.

The chief examiner turned a few pages and was shocked by the record on it. "‘killed a Martial Warrior at the Eighth Empyrean when he was at the Sixth Empyrean of Spirit Condensation, and survived from the incarnation attack of a martial general.’ I'm not reading to a story, right? And half a year ago, he was only at the Third Empyrean of Spirit Condensation, but now, he has become a martial cultivator at the Fifth Empyrean. This speed of cultivation was simply shocking.”

“The most important thing is that he is amazingly resourceful and ruthless. From the fact that he dared to kill so many Nan Li City disciples in one breath, it can be seen that he is someone extremely daring, and that no one can find his mistakes," said the principal.

"However, the principal, you don't have to be too worried. This time, there's another genius Mu Bai, right? He should be able to suppress Ye Yang. You've also seen the situation on Nine Nether Sky Stairway. Mu Bai is obviously relaxed," the chief examiner said, somewhat puzzled.

"You're underestimating Ye Yang. He has his reason sitting there, but it's definitely not for the sake of rest. If you don't believe me, then you just watch!" The white-robed principal's eyes flashed with a trace of light as he spoke slowly.

On the 600th step of Nine Nether Sky Stairway, Mu Bai gave Ye Yang a big thumbs up and then, he slowly turned around and pointed his thumb at the ground.

Ye Yang only indifferently mouthed a word to Mu Bai. No one could hear what Ye Yang had said, but Mu Bai, who was just inches away could clearly read the word from his mouth, ‘Idiot.’

"You!" Out of his fury, Mu Bai spat out one word, and then immediately felt the pressure in his surroundings like a mountain pressing on him. He felt that even the air in his lungs had been squeezed dry, so he hurriedly shut his mouth and exerted his Genuine Qi to resist. His face had turned purple.

Seeing Ye Yang glanced at him like he was an idiot before closed his eyes to continue meditating, Mu Bai was so angry that he almost vomited blood.

But he was a genius after all, so he quickly suppressed his anger and didn’t pay more attention to Ye Yang as he continued to climb.

Four hours later, Ye Yuhan and Guan Yan Xue also climbed up to the 600th step. The two of them glanced at Ye Yang with a bit of astonishment and continued to climb.

When nightfall arrived, everyone started to sit in meditation on the spot to recover their strength. They would continue their climbing when the sun rose again.

Currently, Mu Bai was in first place, 702 steps.

Lan Caidie, second place, 687 steps.

Ye Yuhan, third place, 642 steps.

Guan Yanxue, fourth place, 638 steps.

Ye Yang, fifth place, 600 steps.

And the sixth was a Nan Li City disciple at Warrior-Level, who reached the 497th step, but it seemed that the sixth’ exam result so far was quite worse than the fifth’s.

After a night of rest, when the first ray of sunlight came to everyone's side, all the disciples on Nine Nether Sky Stairway opened their eyes.

They found that their physical strength had recovered, but what surprised them was that even their Genuine Qi had also become much more dense.

When they were prepared to go all out on the journey, they suddenly discovered that some of them were all blankly looked up. When they looked over, they couldn't help but open their mouths wide.

On the 600th step of Nine Nether Sky Stairway, Ye Yang sat cross-legged with a solemn expression. The Qi on his body was undulating and even the air around him was slightly warped.

At the foot of Nine Nether Sky Stairway, a group of leaders and some of the eliminated participants were all watching on.

"What is the Demon King doing?"

"He seems to try to break through!"

"It can't be! This is too exaggerated!"

Mu Shixiong laughed coldly, "He really want to die. To dare to make a breakthrough on Nine Nether Sky Stairway, are the disciples from Eight Desolations City all so stupid?"

Li Chengfeng also looked at Ye Yang in shock. He didn't even have time to bother with Mu Shixiong's ridicule.

The chief examiner shouted angrily in the pavilion, "What is this Ye Yang doing? Did his leader not tell them that breaking through on Nine Nether Sky Stairway would cause his body exploding under the immense pressure? I have to stop him!"

The white-robed principal pulled the chief examiner and said, "Don't worry, that guy Ye Yang is definitely not a fool. He must have his own plan; you and I should just wait and see."

After listening to the white-robed principal words, the chief examiner calmed down to think for a moment. It was true that Ye Yang was not someone who would court death; even if no one told him, he could still understand how dangerous breaking through in that kind of situation was.

Ye Yang did not know how great of a shock he had caused to the outside world, and he continuously channeled his Genuine Qi to break through the bottleneck. As early as he left Eight Desolations City, his dantian had already been filled, and he had been compressing his Genuine Qi all the time, waiting for the right time to break through.

Right now, he prepared to transform the Genuine Qi in his dantian with the help of the terrifying pressure here. If anyone knew about his plan, they would be scared to death, because dantian was a lifeline of a cultivator; no one had never heard of someone daring to do so.

As the Genuine Qi rushed nonstop, with a boom, the barrier was broken and his Qi whirl became bigger in an instant. However, at this moment, Ye Yang suddenly gave up defending against the pressure of the outside world. The pressure instantly pressed Ye Yang’s dantian like mountains.

“Puff.”

He spurted out a mouthful of blood.

The people outside were immediately shocked. Just as Ye Yang's enemies were taking joy in his misfortune and his friends were on edge, Ye Yang lightly wiped the corner of his mouth. Then, he stood up, took a step forward, and continued to climb at a constant speed.

"Good kid, he really is bold. He dared to borrow the pressure of Nine Nether Sky Stairway to temper his dantian. Moreover, it seems like he actually succeeded." The white-robed principal praised.

The chief examiner had a bitter smile on his face. This Ye Yang truly didn’t save others’ worries, and his heart almost jumped out just now. It wasn't easy for them to enroll a genius; if he had died like this, their heart would hurt badly.

Li Chengfeng secretly wiped his cold sweat, but he also got a clue. The moment every martial cultivator succeeded in breaking through, the dantian would produce a strong suction force that would forcibly suck in the surrounding Spiritual Qi Of Heaven And Earth and instantly replenish the Genuine Qi in the dantian.

This was the reason why the Genuine Qi was still full after a martial cultivator had broken through and the capacity of Genuine Qi had increased.

It was just that no one had expected Ye Yang to be so bold. With the power of the pressure of Nine Nether Sky Stairway, basically an ordinary martial cultivator’s dantian would explode immediately if he or she dared to do so, and this would cause their death or disablement.

However, the transformed dantian would definitely be much larger than a normal one, but as for how larger it would be exactly, only the person involved would know.

Now, Ye Yang was extremely happy in his heart, as his Qi whirl was now ten times larger than before. The current him could be said to have incomparably abundant Genuine Qi, and in his future battles, he would no longer have to worry about the lack of Genuine Qi all the time.

And what made Ye Yang joyful the most was that there was an drop of water within his Qi whirl.

However, Ye Yang knew that it was not water, but what was actually called Genuine Essence, which was formed in the process known as liquefaction of Genuine Qi in martial cultivators.

Genuine Essence was Genuine Qi Origin Force formed by the liquefaction of Genuine Qi in the body of an expert at the Martial Master level, and Genuine Essence was a name for the advanced version of Genuine Qi.

Now, with this drop of Genuine Essence, he would be able to form Genuine Essence and advance to Master-Level smoothly. This was the most important thing.

Ye Yang climbed upwards as he was relaxed as before. When he passed Ye Yuhan and Guan Yan Xue, he greeted them and quickly reached the 700th step. At this time, he met Lan Caidie again, and Ye Yang still grinned and made a victory gesture.

But this time, although Lan Caidie stared at him, she did not kick him. Because she was trying her best to get used to the pressure at the 700 stepth, so she did not have the strength to kick him.

Ye Yang did not stop. As he continued climbing, he met Mu Bai at the 752nd step. Although Mu Bai was completely drenched in sweat, he did not appear to be in a sorry state.

It was the same as before; he mouthed a word, and no sound came out.

But this time, Mu Bai was smart. He ignored Ye Yang and continued stepping forward with his head lowered.

Ye Yang felt bored and continued to climb. When he was at the 800th step, his speed slowed down and every step he took was extremely taxing.

It was only until dusk that Ye Yang finally climbed up to the 899th step. He rested for a full hour before he took a step forward.

Just as he was about to step onto the 900th step, Ye Yang's breathing stopped, his legs trembled, and all the bones in his body creaked under the pressure.

Sweat drizzled the entire step. It took a full two hours before Ye Yang could get used to the pressure. Then he sat down slowly and exert his cultivation to recover his strength.

He thought to himself, ‘Little Bai, you have to come here. Not everyone is qualified to experience this.’
