At first, Lin Yi didn't think about whether or not he could climb back up when he went down to save Qiqi. He thought that with the marks left behind by Tian Chan, he would be able to climb up easily.
But now, Lin Yi realized that he was wrong- he'd neglected the most important point- the difference in strength between him and Tian Chan. Lin Yi's running speed was about the same as a Sky class, but that didn't mean that his strength was the same. The height that a Sky class could jump wasn't something that Lin Yi could reach with his current strength.
Qiqi paused as she watched Lin Yi jump up and down, noticing the problem as well! She saw the marks left behind by Tian Chan, but the height wasn't something Qiqi could reach!
She knew her qinggong very well- there was no way she could reach that height. Lin Yi's failure made Qiqi's face change, "The marks are too high, I can't jump up …"
"I can't jump up either …" Lin Yi smiled bitterly. That jump had pretty much used up all of Lin Yi's energy, but he still couldn't reach Tian Chan's height. There was no way to make up for the difference in strength.
Even if Lin Yi used all of his qi, he still wouldn't be able to beat Tian Chan. And from the looks of it, not only could Tian Chan jump that high, but she still had enough energy to use techniques to hit the cliffs. Lin Yi, on the other hand, had used up all of his energy just jumping, let alone hitting the cliffs!
Plus, with Lin Yi's current strength, he probably wouldn't be able to do any damage to the cliffs. Tian Chan had used her Sky class late phase peak strength, but she'd only left a few shallow marks on the cliffs.
"Ah? Then we … "Qiqi's eyes went wide at Lin Yi's words," We can't go up? "
"I can't go up anymore." Lin Yi nodded. Previously, he had been anxious to save people and had neglected these problems. Now that he had thought of it, it was too late! Unless another master on the level of Tian Chan came down to rescue them, Lin Yi was really helpless.
"Then how did you guys get up there?" Qiqi asked curiously.
"Before, my friend was a Sky class late phase peak …" Lin Yi told Qiqi about how he went up with Tian Chan and how he helped Tian Chan replenish her stamina. Qiqi knew more than enough about him anyways, and Lin Yi didn't need to hide anything.
"Ah, I see! Then … Is there no other way? "Qiqi frowned.
"No … …" With that, Lin Yi told Qiqi about what he and Tian Chan had discussed before. Lin Yi had been trapped once before, so there was no point in looking for another way out.
"We can't get out? How can we … … "Qiqi couldn't accept this at all. She'd finally found the claw of the Five Malefic Dragon, and she wanted to give it to Little Nine as soon as possible. She didn't expect to be trapped here.
"That's the truth." Lin Yi said helplessly, but there was nothing he could do, "We wouldn't be using this stupid method if there was another way out … …"
"Then … What about that Sky class late phase peak friend of yours? Would she find out that you didn't go back and come looking for you? "Qiqi asked hopefully.
"That friend of mine is just a chance acquaintance, a temporary companion. She left after going up here, there's no way she'd come back." Lin Yi shook his head. Lin Yi was actually panicking as well, but judging from Qiqi's expression, she'd probably go crazy if Lin Yi kept panicking. As a result, Lin Yi tried his best to look calm, but Lin Yi was actually panicking as well.
But, Lin Yi's hopes were on Skybolt pig- the pig didn't come down with him. If he waited for a while and realized that he wasn't going up, would he go tell Feng Shipian and the others?
But, if it was just Li Ciba and Feng Shipian, Lin Yi couldn't guarantee that they'd be able to make it up- who knew if they were all stuck here! Lin Yi had thought about getting Li Ciba to hit the cliff, but he was only a Sky class mid phase, and while he was a physical practitioner, Lin Yi couldn't help him recover his qi. Even if Lin Yi brought him up, he'd probably give up halfway!
Of course, he could let Li Ciba recover on his own, and Lin Yi would bring him up after he'd recovered. That way, they'd be able to reach the next level, but the drawback was obvious as well. There was a time limit to the test, and after twenty days, the Five's Malice Qi would invade the body. Lin Yi was fine, but Li Ciba and the others weren't. They'd probably go mad from the Five's Malice Qi invading their bodies before they even reached the halfway point.
So, this method wouldn't work. Lin Yi was conflicted- he didn't know what choice Skybolt pig would make.
"Then … Why did you come to save me … Doesn't that mean you're stuck here with me?" Yang Qiqi looked at Lin Yi, touched and sympathetic. She didn't know what to say. Lin Yi had helped her and taken care of her, and that was something she'd seen with her own eyes. She just didn't know how to repay him.
"Haha." Lin Yi smiled and didn't say anything else. Lin Yi could tell from the unique mark on Qiqi's ring that she came from the place he trained at when he was young, and since she was close to the ninth princess, she must be a core disciple there. But Lin Yi was still young back then, and his memories were still stuck in his childhood. He didn't even remember Yang Xiaoxiao and the ninth princess, let alone this girl. Lin Yi's memories were a little hazy, and even if he did remember, he probably wouldn't have much of an impression.
Yang Xiaoxiao was his Shifu's daughter, and the ninth princess was his adopted daughter- the two were Lin Yi's companions when he was young. Ever since then, his Shifu had instilled in him that as a captain, he couldn't give up on any of the team members. He had to have teamwork and teamwork. This was one of the reasons why Lin Yi came looking for Yang Qiqi.
Lin Yi felt a little emotional at the thought of Yang Xiaoxiao and the ninth princess. It'd been so many years since he'd gone back, it was about time. From the princess' tone, Lin Yi could tell that she wasn't happy that he hadn't been back for so many years!
