Chapter 48 - Nine Underworld Heaven Stairway

Ye Yang did not fight with everyone, but coldly watched as a group of people swarmed into the stairs like a swarm of bees. However, not only Ye Yang, Mu Bai, Lan Caidie, Ye Yuhan, and the others did not move, they were all completely still.

It was obvious that they were all very confident that they would not lose at the starting line when they said that this test was based on strength.

The disciple who had just ascended the stairs suddenly froze.

"Why is it so heavy?"

"It's like I'm in the water. It's so hard to move!"

"It seems that the weight will increase with every step I take!"

The disciples on the stairs immediately began to discuss amongst each other. The main organizer's angry shout rang out, "Shut up, you idiots. It's better to save your strength for climbing than to waste it here!"

After being scolded by the organizer, everyone immediately came to their senses. This was a competition of endurance. Every ounce of strength was precious. They couldn't help but shut their mouths and silently climb the stairs.

Seeing that the first place was already up to the 100th step, Ye Qingxuan and the rest of the Eight Desolate City Disciple could no longer sit still and started to climb as well.

After the time it took half an incense stick to burn, when all the disciples had basically started climbing, Ye Yuhan stood up and walked to stand in front of Ye Yang. His cold face was filled with fighting spirit: "I heard that you're very strong.

He never thought that Ye Yuhan would be so direct, but he had long heard that Ye Yuhan was a martial arts fanatic, and did not understand much about the affairs of the world.

Ye Yuhan was surprised that Ye Yang was so easy to talk to. He nodded and walked towards the stairs.

After Ye Yuhan, Guan Yanxue who was dressed in a white robe also started to climb. Although Guan Yanxue was also very beautiful, but she was similar to Ye Yuhan, both were very cold and gave off a feeling that it was difficult to approach.

Now, only Ye Yang, Lan Caidie, and Mu Bai were left. Mu Bai returned to his normal self and cupped his fists towards Lan Caidie politely: "Little Butterfly, this stair is extremely difficult. How about we let Brother climb it together with you?"

However, Lan Caidie did not buy it, and coldly said, "Is Little Butterfly someone you called? I don't think I'm that familiar with you, Mu Bai. Furthermore, with this lady's abilities, do I need you to take care of me? "You really think too much."

Even Ye Yang was impressed by Lan Caidie's ability to endure. This guy really had a knack for enduring martial arts. Could it be that his Mu Family was a Ninja Turtle?

Lan Caidie did not bother with Mu Bai and directly pulled Ye Yang's hand and said, "Big brother Ye Yang, I'll be going over first. You have to come over quickly too!"

Big brother Ye Yang? When did we become so familiar with each other? However, when Ye Yang saw Mu Bai's gaze that looked like it was spitting fire at him, he immediately understood.

"Ye Yang, you better stay away from Xiao Die. Otherwise, I'll let you know what regret is." Seeing that there were only the two of them left, Mu Bai couldn't help but clench his teeth and say.

Originally, he was a little unhappy being used by Lan Caidie, but when he saw how angry Mu Bai was, he actually felt a kind of willing feeling in his heart.

He had heard of the Mu Family before, and he was very interested in getting Mu Bai and Lan Caidie together. It was not only because of Lan Caidie's outstanding talent, but also because the Windy City's strength was only second to Nan Licheng's.

However, it seemed that the old man of the Windy City, who was also the father of the Windy City's master, was extremely disgusted with this matter. Lan Caidie's grandfather had once said that the marriage had to be of a voluntary nature, and no one could interfere with it.

So Mu Bai attributed all of this to Ye Yang. The hatred he had for Ye Yang was simply impossible to wash away.

Ye Yang shrugged his shoulders and said helplessly, "Little Butterfly likes to play with me, so what can I do about it?" What should he do? "You want to bite me?"

"Bastard, you're about to enter the academy, how long are you going to last?" Mu Bai said fiercely.

"I don't have time to bullsh * t with you. I'm going for the assessment!" Ye Yang shook his head, turned around, and ran out. "Little sister Xiao Die, wait for me. Your big brother Ye Yang is here. Ugh!"

Ye Yang sincerely wanted to anger Mu Bai. The latter half of his words were so loud and unrestrained that he almost vomited on the spot. All the hairs on his body stood up.

"Bastard, just you wait! I'll make you regret it!" Mu Bai roared from behind.

Ignoring Mu Bai, Ye Yang walked over to the stairs and took a step forward. Immediately, he felt the weight of his body, and a wave of pressure bore down on him from all directions.

After carefully examining it for a while, Ye Yang immediately understood that this should be a type of formation. If he could cultivate inside this formation every day, his body's strength would definitely increase rapidly.

However, such a huge formation would definitely consume a huge amount of resources. If not, Tianwu Academy would not only accept disciples once every three years.

In less than half an incense's time, he had reached the 100th step. After reaching the 100th step, the pressure was several times stronger than before, but Ye Yang did not stop at all. He still maintained his original speed as he climbed forward.

"Heavens, who is that? His speed is so fast!"

"Isn't that the Demon King of Eight Desolate City?"

"Look! He's already at two hundred and he looks very relaxed!"

As the crowd discussed, Ye Yang had already climbed up to the 270th step. Ye Yang had met Ye Qingxuan here, but Ye Qingxuan's aura had already quickened, indicating that she was under a lot of pressure.

But seeing that Ye Yang had arrived, Ye Qingxuan smiled and indicated for him to climb as fast as he could.

Ye Yang nodded and looked up. The first to climb had already climbed up to three hundred, but when he turned to look, he discovered that Mu Bai was still sitting cross-legged, there was no intention to climb up at all.

Ye Yang continued to climb upwards at a steady pace. When he reached the 299th step, he suddenly felt as if the pressure surrounding him had frozen over. His body felt like it was stuck in silt, making it difficult to move even a single step.

Ye Yang took one step onto the 300th step, his body slightly swayed as he thought to himself: At the 300th step, this is a hurdle, the pressure here has already undergone a qualitative change, I wonder how many of them will be stuck here, I am a little worried for the people of Eight Desolate City.

Ye Yang raised his head and looked up. He saw that Ye Guanghan, Guan Yanxue, and Lan Caidie had already climbed up five hundred steps. Lan Caidie had even climbed five hundred and sixty-three steps.

Ye Guanghan and Guan Yanxue's foreheads were already covered in sweat, but Lan Caidie still looked as though she was doing it with ease.

The steps were no longer as chaotic as they were before. Now, streams of people were forming in different regions, climbing with all their might. The weakest among them were only at the 100th step, so the situation was worrisome.

Ye Yang maintained his original speed as he leisurely walked through the crowd, occasionally passing by the disciples that were drenched in sweat.

Four hundred steps, five hundred steps, and so on. When he was five hundred and fifty steps away, he had already surpassed Guan Yanxue, who looked at Ye Yang, who was younger than him, with a complicated expression on his cold and elegant face.

When he was at the 570th step, Ye Yang passed Ye Yuhan. Ye Yang waved his hand to greet Ye Yuhan, and immediately climbed upwards.

Ye Yuhan's eyes revealed dense fighting intent, he clenched his teeth and followed behind.

Finally at the 592 th step, Ye Yang caught up with Lan Caidie. However, Lan Caidie was no longer as relaxed as before, her forehead was covered in sweat.

She wasn't too surprised by Ye Yang's appearance. She was just a little unconvinced in her heart.

She had investigated Ye Yang's background and knew that he was only from a third-rate clan. There was no way for him to match up to her in terms of resources, and he was only two months older than her. This caused her, who had always been the number one genius of the family, to feel a bit disappointed.

Ye Yang smugly gestured at Lan Caidie that she was victorious. Although Lan Caidie did not understand the meaning of this gesture, she could tell from Ye Yang's complacent expression that this brat was definitely sincere towards him.

Without a second word, she kicked out at Ye Yang. However, under the immense pressure, her speed was greatly reduced.

Ye Yang laughed silently, avoided Lan Caidie's small feet and climbed up to the 93rd step. He crawled without stopping until he reached the 599th step, then stopped.

The pressure was even greater now. Even though it was only a step, it was like a natural moat, unsurpassable.

Ye Yang took in a deep breath and stepped towards Six Hundred Stages. Ye Yang immediately felt the surrounding pressure become substantial, and his body felt as if it was being pressed down by a mountain.

After stepping onto the Six Hundred Stages, Ye Yang finally felt the true terror of the steps. Not only his body, but even the flow of the Zhen Qi in his body was under a huge pressure.

Zhang Xuan smiled. As expected, he didn't continue walking forward. Instead, he sat on the floor and started to circulate his zhenqi.

"Indeed worthy of being the junior family head," Ye Ming said in his heart, his eyes filled with worship and pride.

When Ye Yuhan saw Ye Yang stepping onto the Six Hundred Stages, his pupils constricted.

Mu Bai, who was originally seated cross-legged at the very bottom. A faint trace of ridicule appeared on his face. "Climbing to six hundred in a single breath and running out of energy? You want to meditate and recover your true qi? You really overestimate yourself!"

Standing up, Mu Bai stepped onto the stairs and said, "Hehe, I'll let you ignorant fellows know what a true genius is like!"
