So You're Pretty Brave, Hongjun!

Bai Chenxiang refused to accept it. She tried several times, only to be bounced back every single time. If Ma Hongjun had not been there to catch her, her butt might have been badly bruised from the falls.

"I refuse to believe I can't get up there!"

Still unwilling to give in, Bai Chenxiang headed for the stairs again. Ma Hongjun quickly grabbed her and soothed her. "Xiangxiang, let's forget it for now. Charging at it headfirst isn't going to work!"

How could Ma Hongjun not understand what Bai Chenxiang was thinking? He knew how proud she was, but reality was cruel. Bai Chenxiang simply could not step onto the stairs. The best thing to do now was to stay calm and think of another way.

Outside the Sea God Palace, Bo Saixi had taken in Bai Chenxiang's performance. Though she felt some sympathy for her, there was nothing she could do. The trial had to be completed through one's own efforts.

In the end, Bai Chenxiang was simply too weak. Compared with the other seven, her cultivation was a full tier behind.

Bo Saixi could only admit that she was unable to help. She turned to face the Sea God Palace, trying her best not to look at what was happening below.

Kuzan watched Bai Chenxiang calmly. There were far too many pitiful people like her in every world. According to the original plot, this girl would eventually be separated from Ma Hongjun by the divide between man and god. Even though Ma Hongjun had changed now, no one knew whether he could inherit the position of Fire God. If he could not, then Bai Chenxiang's fate was already sealed.

"Ah la la, what an unfriendly ending..." Even behind his sunglasses, Kuzan's gaze carried a trace of helplessness.
