As their gazes fell upon the scene, they were all taken aback.
Yuan Tianzong’s eyes were filled with a mixture of surprise and delight.
Ke Liangjing’s expression, on the other hand, gradually turned stern.
It was Ye Wushuang!
He had reemerged!
At this moment, the eyes of many were fixed upon Ye Wushuang. Initially, when he had begun to climb the steps, his pace had been the slowest, almost painfully so. Later, as everyone was preoccupied with their own arduous ascent, they had no time to concern themselves with Ye Wushuang.
But now…
Ye Wushuang’s figure stood out among the two hundred or so people. He walked steadily toward the summit, step by step. His pace was not fast; in fact, he would pause for two or three breaths after each step. Yet, it was unwavering!
Warriors, either looking up or down, watched as Ye Wushuang made his way toward the peak, taking a rest with each step. The height that had taken everyone an hour to reach was covered by Ye Wushuang in just the time it takes to drink a cup of tea.
When Ye Wushuang reached the eight-hundredth step and saw Qin Muyu and Li Wenqing stopped there, he asked, “Can you still hold on?”
Qin Muyu shook her head bitterly.
“Junior Brother Ye, don’t worry about us. You should keep going as far as you can,” Li Wenqing said, her face pale.
Ye Wushuang nodded. On this End-of-the-World Cliff staircase, everyone had to rely on themselves.
Ye Wushuang continued to move forward. Watching the white-clad figure overtake them, Qin Muyu and Li Wenqing felt a surge of joy. Initially, Ye Wushuang had seemed ordinary, but now it was clear that he still had strength to spare. His abilities had always been trustworthy.
The reason he had moved slowly at first was not because he was incapable, but because Ye Wushuang had his own plan.
Li Bufan and Qiu Zhiyan, standing not far from Qin Muyu and Li Wenqing, exchanged glances and gave a wry smile. This Ye Wushuang was truly incredible in this journey through the Heavenly and Earthly Gates.
Soon after, Ye Wushuang reached the nine-hundredth step. Liang Sirui, Xie Xinxin, Chao Tianque, Jiang Haokong, and others all turned their attention to Ye Wushuang. This guy… he had casually caught up with them!
“Brother Ye is truly amazing!” Yuan Tianzong said with a chuckle. “Just now, some people thought you weren’t a genius. Now it seems they’ve been proven wrong.”
Ke Liangjing, hearing this, turned red with anger, let out a cold snort, and turned back to the steps in front of him, forcing himself to take another step.
Ye Wushuang simply glanced at Yuan Tianzong, nodded with a smile, and continued on his way.
At this moment, Xu Ziqian had already reached the nine-hundred-fiftieth step. The final forty-nine steps were incredibly difficult for him as well. But Ye Wushuang quickly closed the gap with Xu Ziqian.
Watching the white-clad youth pull ahead of them, Liang Sirui, Xie Xinxin, and the others gritted their teeth and managed to take a few more steps. However, the gap was just too great. After struggling to gain a few more steps, they were exhausted once again.
But Ye Wushuang…
His pace remained unchanged. From taking one step and pausing for two or three breaths, he now paused for four or five breaths after each step. Yet, he kept moving forward.
Before long, Ye Wushuang had reached Xu Ziqian’s side.
At this moment, Xu Ziqian’s face was covered in sweat, and he was panting heavily as he looked at Ye Wushuang and asked, “What’s your name?”
Ye Wushuang did not speak.
Xu Ziqian continued, “I’m Xu Ziqian, from the Tian Dao Palace.”
“Ye Wushuang, from the Lingjian Mountain.”
Hearing this, Xu Ziqian couldn’t help but smile and said, “You’re very impressive, more so than all of them.”
“You are too,” Ye Wushuang nodded earnestly.
Hearing this, Xu Ziqian was taken aback. For as long as he could remember, if someone earned Xu Ziqian’s praise, it was considered an honor. But today, he himself had been complimented?
This feeling was quite unique.
While Xu Ziqian was lost in thought, Ye Wushuang continued to move forward.
Nine hundred and sixtieth step!
Nine hundred and seventieth step!
Nine hundred and eightieth step!
Now, Ye Wushuang was only nineteen steps away from the summit.
At this moment, although Xu Ziqian, Liang Sirui, Chao Tianque, and the others were behind, they had not given up. However, Xu Ziqian could not take another step after reaching the nine-hundred-sixtieth step. Liang Sirui, Chao Tianque, and the other nine individuals could not move beyond the nine-hundred-twentieth step.
All eyes were on Ye Wushuang, who was now in the lead.
Could this young man truly persist until the very end and reach the peak?
