This time, he said nothing. He fell silent, gritted his teeth, marshaled every ounce of strength, and became the donkey charging through the trials!
So what if he had to bear a heavy load as he pressed onward?
Li Tianming's mindset had changed. From here on, his only opponent was still himself.
"Bearing a load is training too!"
Boom!
Next, while resisting the ghost-devil lava chaotic wasteland disaster, he gritted his teeth and dragged the Five Elements Primordial Chaos Array onward through the first trial. He was no longer moving quickly, but every step left a solid footprint!
The five behind him understood the Nine Lives Tower's assessment rules. They knew how to earn trial points while restraining Li Tianming. Though their scores would not be high, at this pace, Li Tianming's score would not be much higher either!
"First time riding a donkey through the trials. Pretty comfortable."
"Little white donkey, why aren't you kicking your legs and speeding up?"
From their words alone, it was clear that these Primordial Chaos Clan cosmic cultivators, all under two thousand years old, were childish by nature. Yet hotheaded youths of this age, once they possessed power, often did things more thoroughly, more ruthlessly, and more violently.
The five of them mocked, teased, and toyed with Li Tianming the whole way. Whenever he managed to advance a short distance, they insisted on dragging him back, setting off bursts of laughter.
"You can endure even this?" Yinghuo asked in surprise.
"What else can I do if I don't? I can't beat them, and I can't run from them," Li Tianming said blandly.
Not being able to beat them was the key. If he could, Li Tianming would have beaten all five of them bloody long ago. Five sixth-level Extremity cultivators were no joke.
