Su Mo heard no small amount of mockery, but he did not care in the slightest.
Taking a deep breath, he lifted his foot and strode forward.
Bang!
As he took that step, he clearly felt his heartbeat accelerate slightly.
However, it did not affect him at all. Su Mo continued onward without stopping.
Step! Step! Step!
As he advanced, Su Mo's heart beat faster and faster. By the time he had taken more than twenty steps, his heartbeat had become incredibly violent, like war drums pounding across a battlefield.
Huff!
Su Mo drew a deep breath and temporarily stopped. He had to catch his breath, or he truly feared that his heart would leap out of his chest.
Not far away, the outstanding geniuses of the various factions saw that Su Mo had to stop after taking barely twenty steps, and they all felt relieved.
He was not much stronger than anyone else. If he could only take twenty-odd steps at the start, then once he reached the halfway point, he would likewise be unable to move a single inch.
Moreover, Su Mo had arrived the latest. It was impossible for him to catch up, so he posed virtually no threat to them.
Immediately, everyone stopped paying attention to Su Mo. Each lowered their head and pressed onward, chasing those ahead of them.
Only by walking in front could one obtain the treasures first. Those who followed behind would not even get a sip of the soup.
Su Mo calmed his mind and focused. After roughly three breaths, his heartbeat returned to normal, and he continued onward.
That was how it went. Every time he advanced more than twenty steps, he would stop to rest, repeating the cycle over and over.
Who knew how much time passed? Su Mo
