Chapter 52 - Success at the Top

Ye Qingxuan, who originally did not have much hope for the Six Hundred Stages, tightened her waist and a strong masculine scent filled her nose.

He was shocked when he saw it was Ye Yang. His heart raced as his face turned red, but his eyes were full of happiness.

He gently put Ye Qingxuan down, slightly nodding his head before turning around and rushing upwards. Now that it was already past noon, he had to hurry.

Ye Yang calculated in his heart. The pressure did indeed increase, but it wasn't as frightening as he imagined. He knew that this was all due to the results of his two breakthroughs.

Now, his strength had already taken a qualitative leap. Especially after advancing to the 900th step, the cyclone within his body had expanded by more than a dozen times. Even the true essence power inside had grown from the size of a drop to the size of a fist.

In other words, Ye Yang could now use the power of a warrior.

This made Ye Yang feel a little overjoyed. In the future, there was one more trump card to protect his life, and his safety had increased by quite a bit.

In less than an hour, Ye Yang arrived at the 899th step. There were now two people on the step.

had already been trapped here for a very long time. He couldn't break through this barrier even after assaulting it more than a hundred times.

On one occasion, he had attacked too fiercely, spitting out a mouthful of blood. He had suffered internal injuries, and was now experiencing the terror of the 900th step.

Lan Caidie was also slightly out of breath. After rushing down seven times, she already understood that it was impossible for her to reach the nine hundredth step.

When Ye Yang reached the nine hundredth step, he smiled at Lan Caidie and extended his hand out to her like the Western Gentleman.

Lan Caidie glanced at Mu Bai, smiled slightly, and placed his hand on Ye Yang's big hand.

Lan Caidie thought that Ye Yang was angry at Mu Bai and decided to cooperate with him a lot.

However, what she didn't expect was that after grabbing her right hand, Ye Yang extended his arm, wrapped it around Lan Caidie's slender waist and jumped.

The two of them were like butterflies dancing in a field of flowers. While the crowd was still in a daze, they turned around three times and lightly landed on the 900th step.

If the pressure here wasn't so terrifying, Lan Caidie would have screamed loudly. He really didn't think that Ye Yang would be so daring to bring people to break through even when he was at the 900th step.

And because Ye Yang had returned once, the pressure on him had doubled from before. Now that he brought Lan Caidie along, the pressure he faced was four times greater than before. He was actually able to bring Lan Caidie up to the nine hundredth step with ease.

However, after reaching the 900th step, Ye Yang could feel that the pressure was much stronger than before. Just now, when he landed on the ground, he almost stumbled and fell.

But Lan Caidie was in an even more sorry state. Her delicate face was flushed, and of course, it was not because she was shy, but because she was pressured to the point that she could not breathe.

Ye Yang hurriedly and gently placed Lan Caidie on the ground. Following Ye Yang's actions, Lan Caidie laid on the ground slowly, as if she had no bones, and stuck her face tightly to the ground.

Ye Yang pinched Lan Caidie's nose lightly, and under Lan Caidie's furious gaze, he continued to walk upwards.

When Ye Yang climbed one flight of stairs, Lan Caidie immediately felt the pressure on her surroundings loosen up. She hurriedly took in a few breaths, if she still didn't die from the pressure soon, she would suffocate to death.

When Ye Yang reached the 930th step, the pressure changed again. When Ye Yang reached the 930th step, he felt an even greater pressure. Even with his physical strength, he had no choice but to stop and rest.

However, due to the excessive pressure, the space had already distorted. Ye Yang couldn't see or hear anything from the outside.

At this moment, the outside world was in an uproar.

"Heavens! He stepped onto the 930th step!"

"He broke the record!"

"Too terrifying!"

Li Chengfeng looked at Ye Yang with a face full of gratification.

The main examiner also had an excited expression, but Dean of the White Robe still had a calm face without any fluctuations in emotions.

Lan Caidie looked at Ye Yang with a bitter face. Although she was unwilling, she knew that she was far inferior to Ye Yang, but she was still much stronger than him. After thinking about it, she looked down at Mu Bai, who was in a sorry state.

Lan Caidie obviously didn't want to continue climbing, and had been looking at him with a gaze of pity and contempt the entire time. After failing several times, it made him even more agitated, as her strength was already far weaker than before.

Ye Yang sat in meditation for the time it took to burn an incense stick. Feeling that the true qi within his body had already recovered, he hurriedly stood up and continued to climb. He had a premonition that with every step he climbed, his future path would be a bit longer.

At this moment, every step Ye Yang took was extremely strenuous. Aside from expending a large amount of physical strength, the true energy within his body was also being rapidly depleted.

If it weren't for the fact that he had changed his dantian twice, and if it were an ordinary martial artist, he would probably need to recover his physical strength every step of the way.

When Ye Yang reached the 959th step, he took a deep breath and circulated his Zhen Qi, taking a step forward.

However, this time, when Ye Yang stepped onto the 960th step, there was a sudden rumble in his body. The true energy within Ye Yang's body was circulating uncontrollably, seemingly unable to withstand the pressure.

Ye Yang quickly sat cross-legged and tried his best to adapt to the pressure.

Just as he got used to it, Ye Yang stood up and continued forward without any delay.

961

nine hundred sixty-five

His steps were unsteady and staggered along the way. However, Ye Yang liked this feeling very much. It was as if he could break through anytime, so he gave up on resting.

On the 989th step, everyone stopped in their tracks and looked at Ye Yang with reverence and anticipation, thinking that he had reached his limit and was unable to take a step further.

Ye Yang felt the pressure in front of him and didn't hold back the true qi in his body. He channeled all of his energy and punched out.

"Bang!"

An explosion

Even though it was a fist that was flying through the air, it still created a loud sound as if it was hitting a rock.

Using the power of his fist, he stepped onto the 990th step. The moment his feet touched the ground, Ye Yang felt like he was in a raging wave that could rush away at any moment. He hastily froze.

"Wah!"

A mouthful of blood sprayed out. Ye Yang was injured.

In the past when he climbed, the pressure was great, but it was always death. But now, the pressure was real. Just now, Ye Yang felt his body being twisted into a blur.

While blocking this strange pressure, he walked forward. He could clearly feel that each step had to withstand a different pressure until he reached the 997th step. Ye Yang stopped in his tracks because he realized that no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't advance anymore.

He waved his right hand and a long spear appeared in his hand. The inscription symbol on the spear lit up and pierced forward with boundless force.

The air seemed to shatter as it emitted a hissing sound. Ye Yang took a step forward and successfully stepped onto the 998th step.

Ye Yang let out a low growl, and his entire body turned bronze in color. His entire body seemed as though it was made of bronze.

Waves of air surged out in all directions. His body instantly lightened as he stepped onto the 999th step.

The moment Ye Yang stepped onto the final step, the entire mountain shook as a majestic aura permeated the entire mountain.

Ye Yang discovered that the surrounding true spirit qi had suddenly become denser, to the point where he could see the fog formed by the true spirit qi with his naked eye.

Ye Yang felt a wave of comfort as the pores all over his body greedily absorbed the surrounding air.

The crowd on the stairs immediately felt their bodies lighten as all the pressure disappeared. Then, they saw that the mountain peak was like a mass of fog, forming a torrent and slowly flowing down the stairs.

Just as no one knew what was going on, Dean of the White Robe's cold shout woke everyone up. "Hurry up and absorb the true qi. This is your reward. You mustn't lose the opportunity. You mustn't cross the stairs and absorb it on the spot!"

Looking at the fog formed by the true spirit qi that was slowly flowing to their side, everyone did not dare underestimate it, and started to absorb it using their Qi.

They were pleasantly surprised to find that after absorbing the mist, their cultivation base was increasing at an alarming rate, over a hundred times their usual level. After making this discovery, they began to frantically absorb the mist.

At this moment, he was like a huge fan, continuously devouring the surrounding true spirit qi, and a whirlpool with a diameter of more than ten feet formed above his head.

At this time, even the usually calm Dean of the White Robe was unable to hide the fear in his eyes. The speed at which a warrior was absorbing true spirit qi was related to the size of the vortex.

The whirlpool above his head was only a bit more than two feet, but Ye Yang had actually reached an astonishing ten feet. Doesn't that mean that Ye Yang's whirlpool is already five to six times bigger than Mu Bai's?

However, don't forget that Mu Bai is a Ninth Heaven warrior and Ye Yang is only a Seventh Heaven warrior. This greatly surprised the Dean of the White Robe, who had seen and understood many things.

However, he instantly understood that Ye Yang's cyclone was extraordinary and must have something to do with his two consecutive breakthroughs on the stairs.

Long before Ye Yang, there were many bold disciples who had done this before, but all of them ended up dying with their bodies exploding.

After such a painful lesson, no one else made such an attempt. But now, Ye Yang had broken their common sense.

Not only did he break through alive, but he even broke through twice in a row. Right now, everyone on the scene was completely numb to Ye Yang's shock. They realized that this young man, no matter what he did, was completely shocking.

The white robed elder said with some regret, "This year's disciples are too lucky to have met a monster like Ye Yang. That's why they had such great luck."

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

A light sound reverberated in the air. This was a voice that everyone was not entirely familiar with. This was the sound of the barrier being broken when a martial artist tried to break through.

"Heavens, this is such a great fortune!"

"It's a pity that all of this doesn't belong to us."

Under the envious, jealous, and resentful gazes of the eliminated disciples, the sounds of the disciples on the stairs breaking through rang out one after another. It was quite a spectacular sight.
