The crowd below the white jade steps watched the man climb upwards step by step. At first, they were impatient, but in the end, they were completely silent and couldn't utter a single word.
Many people's hands were trembling.
Everyone from the four major sects stared blankly at the sky, their eyes filled with disbelief. They felt their breath freeze along with the cold air, unable to relieve the oppressive anger in their chests.
How could this be...?
how so?
this.
Is this really possible?
Lin Xuan stood in the crowd, slightly raised his eyes, looked at the last step Lang Ping reached, and smiled slightly, not surprised.
It wasn't unexpected, but seeing Lang Ping actually take this step and, through her own efforts, gradually rise above others, he felt gratified.
This should be considered the least talented of his disciples.
However, their temperament is also the best.
Perseverance.
Invincible.
indomitable.
He felt that no word was too much when applied to Lang Ping; he felt that Lang Ping deserved it.
Others didn't see Lang Ping go on stage, but Lin Xuan, her mentor, had been paying close attention to his disciple; how could he not have seen her?
Moreover, Lang Ping had secretly consulted Lin Xuan before going on stage, and only after receiving Lin Xuan's signal did she quietly walk up the white jade steps.
Lin Xuan had no intention of letting his disciples hide their abilities so much that they wouldn't even dare to participate in this small trial.
Sometimes, if you pretend to be weak to fool others too often, you might actually become a weakling yourself.
Everything about Lang Ping is inseparable from her own hard work and dedication.
Everything he has now, and everything he will have in the future, is what he deserves.
Moreover, the rewards for Heaven-Gazing Ridge are not to be missed.
As for the rest, his master isn't dead.
At that moment, a figure flashed below the steps, Lang Ping, who had already received her reward, appeared at the bottom of the white jade steps.
This left many who had been eagerly anticipating the event stunned for a moment.
Where are they?
No.
It's not that there's no one.
But what did that fleeting black shadow mean?
They considered every possible prodigy, but none of them matched up, and besides, those prodigies were already out there.
I also wondered if some geniuses from outside the Heaven-Gazing Domain had gone in.
This is the most likely scenario.
The probability is highest.
So everyone was waiting for the person inside to come out so they could see who it was.
result...
They simply won't let you see it!
The person is gone!
Those disciples of Danxia Sword Sect and Lin Xuan of Ximu Peak didn't care about any of that. They had already noticed that their senior brother Lang Ping had disappeared, so when they saw the black figure come out, they took a deep breath and suppressed their excitement. However, when they looked at each other, they could see the secret cheers in each other's eyes.
"Yay!"
"Very good!"
"As expected of Lang Ping! She's amazing, she's really made Ximu Peak proud!"
"I wish I could be as good as my senior brother someday."
"Eighty-one floors! Nine times nine equals eighty-one, senior brother is simply amazing!!"
There were others, their tone complex and obscure.
"Eighty-one..."
The reason they cared so much was none other than that this unknown prodigy had managed to reach the eighty-first floor without the Heaven-Gazing Token!
That's eighty-one!
It far surpasses the records of all current geniuses.
It even broke the previous record.
He became the champion in one fell swoop!
Everyone was stunned and speechless.
This includes people from the other four major sects.
They had no idea where this monster came from!
The moment the dark figure appeared, the leaders of the four major sects tried to intercept him.
Unfortunately, they all came up empty-handed.
The person vanished as if they had never existed, disappearing right before their eyes.
No one noticed that the cloaked figure beside Lin Xuan was momentarily illusory, and when it reappeared, it was Lang Ping was letting out a breath with lingering fear.
Lang Ping pursed her lips and said softly, "Thank you for your help, Master."
He truly admired his master's masterful trick of stealing the sky and changing the moon.
However, what I didn't expect was...
Lang Ping looked down at her shadow, a hint of curiosity in her eyes.
His master actually cultivated such Cultivation Method. He felt that there wasn't much difference between his master's clones and his master's own strength; both were equally terrifying. He truly lived up to his master's reputation.
Lin Xuan simply smiled casually.
"What's the big deal? You're my disciple, so naturally I won't abandon you."
Looking around, many of the others, especially those from the four major sects, did not look too good.
Especially the expressions of those holy sons, or the original trump cards of the four major sects.
They had personally experienced how terrifying the oppressive atmosphere inside was.
Even with the Heaven-Gazing Token, they still faced such difficulties.
This person who suddenly appeared, without the Heaven-Gazing Token, was able to walk right up to them.
This person's talent must be terrifying...
The expressions on their faces were increasingly grim.
His gaze swept across the faces of people outside the Heaven-Gazing Domain, trying to find the one who might be there.
They hadn't even considered the prodigies within the Heaven-Gazing Domain Realm.
After all, if they can't do it, how could anyone else possibly?
If they could do that, why wouldn't they come to the four major sects?
How could there be no Heaven-Gazing Token?
Therefore, they must be from outside this region!
Nobody even considered the possibility of it being Lang Ping.
Even those who had witnessed his strength firsthand never imagined that Lang Ping might be the mysterious figure from earlier.
As is widely known.
Heaven-Gazing Ridge great importance on natural talent.
Where does Lang Ping's natural talent come from?
With such low talent, it's absolutely impossible for him to pass the eighty-first level. Even with the Heaven-Gazing Token, he might not even be able to reach the eighteenth level.
Lin Xuan's gaze swept across their faces, and he could almost discern their thoughts from their expressions.
He smiled with a hint of helplessness.
Central Continent really values natural talent.
However, these people have probably forgotten.
The array spirit of Heaven-Gazing Ridge had long ago said that what's valued here is talent and...
Mindset!
Lang Ping lacks natural talent.
However, when it comes to temperament, if he's second, then no one here can claim to be number one!
Amidst the crowd, Feng Jingyu remained completely oblivious to the commotion around her.
Her gaze was fixed on the white jade steps, her eyes slightly narrowed.
81.
That's good.
Unfortunately...
She's still a bit lacking compared to her!
She chuckled softly, her figure silently retreating as she put on a ring that concealed her face, activating the array within the ring, her lips tightening.
It's only eighty-one.
She will show these people what a true prodigy is!
