"It's Puqiang Mountain!"
"He didn't choose Lake of Colors or Tranquil East, he chose Puqiang!"
"Puqiang Tribe has always been mysterious. There aren't many who challenge the Chain of Mountains. Why did he choose this mountain? Besides, Lake of Colors and Tranquil East are welcoming him. Only Puqiang is cold, and there's even conflict between them! "
As Su Ming took a step forward, the entire Han Mountain City immediately burst into an uproar. Most of the people were discussing this matter. Su Ming's actions puzzled them.
Logically speaking, it was the same for all the mountains that challenged the Chains of Han Mountain. Freezing Sky Clan would not choose a specific mountain when they chose their disciples.
Compared to Tranquil East's Chief of War coming personally and Lake of Colors Tribe being the first to give out the plate, it was clear that if it was anyone else, they would not choose the mountain with conflict between them, especially Puqiang, whose bell chimes had destroyed the fog protecting the mountain!
The crowd was not the only ones confused. Even Nan Tian and the other three Transcended Berserkers were puzzled when they saw Su Ming's actions. Nan Tian looked at Su Ming's figure at the top of the mountain. He could not understand why Su Ming would make such a choice.
Only Xuan Lun's pupils shrank. He was originally a guest in Puqiang Tribe, so he understood Puqiang very well. He might not be a guest now, but they still had many years of friendship. When he saw Su Ming's choice, for some unknown reason, his heart lurched.
'He must be after something!' Xuan Lun narrowed his eyes and stared at Su Ming at the top of the mountain. He remained silent.
Lake of Colors Tribe and Tranquil East Tribe were also puzzled. The Elder of Tranquil East Tribe and the others looked at Han Mountain from the mountain where their tribe was located. When they saw Su Ming walking towards the Chains of Puqiang Tribe, the tribe leader of Tranquil East, Fang Shen, frowned.
A glint appeared in Tranquil East Tribe's Elder's eyes as he spoke slowly. "Besides obtaining the right to enter Freezing Sky Clan, this Maker of Mohism seems to have other goals …"
A fierce look appeared in the eyes of the originally tired Elder of Lake of Colors Tribe. She looked at Han Mountain and a contemplative look appeared on her face.
Yan Luan was also frowning by her side.
"Whatever Puqiang Tribe can give, Lake of Colors Tribe can … but he still chose Puqiang Tribe. This person has a goal, and he's prepared. Before he challenged the Chains of Han Mountain, he must have made his decision. His goal is not Han Mountain Bell, but … Puqiang Tribe!" the old woman said hoarsely, and the light in her eyes grew brighter.
The old woman remained silent for a moment before she mumbled hesitantly, "The only thing we can't give is the aura of death gathered by Puqiang's unique Berserker Art …"
Compared to Tranquil East and Lake of Colors' puzzlement, Puqiang Tribe was even more bewildered by this matter. Almost the instant Su Ming chose Puqiang Mountain's Chain, a strange light appeared in the eyes of the skeleton-like old man sitting at the top of Puqiang Mountain. There were eight people sitting behind him, and there were even more people rushing over from below.
"Elder …" someone beside the skeleton-like old man spoke hesitantly in a low voice.
"Don't worry about it. This old man shall see if that person can walk over." The Elder of Puqiang Tribe spoke calmly and touched the bone bracelet on his right hand. His eyes shone brightly as he stared at Han Mountain in the distance.
Almost the instant Su Ming's right foot stepped on the swaying Chain connected to Puqiang Mountain in the wind and rain, loud booming sounds suddenly reverberated through the sky and earth, drowning out the discussions of the people in Han Mountain. It sounded like muffled roars of thunder, and the ground started trembling. Eight gigantic pillars of 100 feet in thickness shot up from the canyons underneath as the ground trembled.
There were some cracks on the eight gigantic stone pillars, and a large amount of green plants covered them as they rose from the canyons with loud rumbles. Immediately, they lifted the swaying Chain and split it into nine sections!
As the eight gigantic pillars were lifted, clouds of dust rose from the canyons, but the moment the dust appeared, it was immediately scattered by the storm. Thunder flashed in the sky, as if there was a mighty roar in the sky.
The nine sections of the Chain were very far apart from each other. As they were connected to each other, they formed a chain road that looked like a bridge between Han Mountain and Puqiang Mountain!
The rain continued pouring down, causing the Chain to look incredibly slippery. If it was a normal person, they might not even dare to step on it. In fact, even if they did, they would fall to their deaths due to carelessness.
It was especially so when the Chain became loose and swayed. Not only did it pose a threat to a person's body, it also dealt a blow to their soul. It was as if there was an abyss right before their eyes. A person would instinctively stay away from it. Even if there were people pushing against the Chain, they would still struggle to move back.
This sort of blow to their soul was something that even a person with a strong will would find it hard not to be affected.
Su Ming's right foot landed on the Chain. The Chain did not stop swaying because his right foot landed on it. It continued swaying in the wind and rain, causing Su Ming's right foot to also sway.
Su Ming's expression was incredibly grave. He had never underestimated the Chain of Han Mountain. When his foot landed on it, the slippery feeling was incredibly clear, as if it was difficult for him to stand still.
'No wonder He Feng took a few steps in one go. Even if he stopped, he only dared to do so after he found his footing …'
Su Ming was not the only one who had a grave expression on his face. At that moment, almost all the people in Han Mountain City had the same expression on their faces. They looked at the person in the rain and the swaying Chain under his feet, and nervousness rose within them.
"He's someone who managed to sound the bell 20 something times. Just … how far can he go?!"
"He chose the wrong time. The Chains of Han Mountain are much more difficult when it's raining."
"It's not a matter of time. It's raining nonstop during this season. It'll be the same no matter which day it is."
The sounds of discussions gradually grew louder as their breathing quickened. Su Ming could not hear any of this. He lifted his left foot, and the moment his right foot found its footing, he took a step forward.
That step might seem small, but it meant that Su Ming's feet had left the ground and Han Mountain. At that moment, it could be said that he was standing completely on the Chain of Han Mountain!
The mountain wind howled and blew past Su Ming as if it wanted to push his body away from the Chain, causing his robes to flutter and the Chain to sway even more violently as it continued swinging back and forth.
Even breathing was difficult in the wind. Su Ming lifted his head and looked at Puqiang Mountain in the distance. As he stood on the Chain, his gaze seemed to waver.
'If that's all, then it's not too difficult.' A glint appeared in Su Ming's eyes. He stood up straight and walked forward. Every single time his foot landed, he would step on the swaying chain with incredible precision. No matter how the chain moved, it was as if it would automatically move under his feet, allowing him to step on it.
He walked steadily. One step at a time, he gradually walked through half of the first section of the Chain. 2,000 feet away from him was the 100 feet pillar at the end of the first section of the Chain.
All the people in Han Mountain City stared unblinkingly at Su Ming's figure in midair. They watched as he walked through most of the first section of the Chain and walked towards the first stone pillar.
"We might not be able to see his expression, but his footsteps are steady. This section shouldn't be difficult for him."
"That's right. But there are nine sections of the Chains of Han Mountain. The further you go, the stranger they become, or else it wouldn't be so famous and Freezing Sky Clan would choose to use it as a test to test their qualifications."
"I wonder how many sections this person will be able to walk through..?"
The sounds of discussions gradually quietened down. Countless gazes were trained on Su Ming in midair. Besides the people from Han Mountain, there were also the tribe members and leaders of the three tribes. Due to Su Ming's appearance, the rainy day that had passed by in the morning became different.
Su Ming walked through the first section of the Chain calmly. When he stood at the end of the first section of the Chain and was about to step onto the first stone pillar, his body suddenly trembled.
As his body trembled, he seemed to be on the verge of collapsing. This sudden scene immediately caused the people below to cry out in surprise.
"This … This is just the first section. Can he not take it anymore?"
"That's impossible. He sounded the bell 20 something times. How can he do this in the first section?!"
"How is this possible? Could it be …"
Cries of surprise rose and fell, instantly turning into an uproar.
Even the gazes of the people from Lake of Colors Tribe and Tranquil East Tribe were immediately attracted the moment they saw this.
"Despicable!" A glint appeared in Yan Luan's eyes and she spoke with a cold sneer.
The old woman by her side did not speak. She merely cast a glance at Puqiang Mountain.
On the summit of Tranquil East Tribe, the Elder of Tranquil East Tribe also looked at Puqiang Mountain with a profound look. He smiled faintly but did not speak. However, behind him, the tribe leader of Tranquil East Tribe, Fang Shen, had a fierce look in his eyes.
"Since when did Puqiang Tribe become so petty?"
There were already a dozen something people sitting on Puqiang Mountain. The Elder was the leader of these people, and all of them were silent.
"Give me an explanation," the Elder of Puqiang Tribe said slowly.
Su Ming lifted his head abruptly. The moment his foot landed on the ground just now, a strong wave of power immediately traveled from the chain and surged into his body through his right foot without a sound. That power was filled with the presence of death, as if it wanted to freeze the Qi in his body. However, Su Ming already had 979 blood veins. Even a normal powerful Berserker in the Transcendence Realm would find it difficult to freeze his blood veins!
He let out a cold harrumph. Not only did he not lift his right foot, he instead continued stepping on the Chain with his left foot. At the same time, the power of the 979 blood veins in his body spread out through his feet and fused into the Chain, crashing into the wave of ripples that continued charging towards him hundreds of feet away.
The power of the two waves of ripples blocked off the first stone pillar. As the stone pillar trembled, a large amount of stones fell off, but it still stood tall.
Su Ming had already noticed that there was a strange layer of strengthening power on the stone pillar. That power was somewhat familiar to him. It was the presence of Han Mountain's ancestor.
Even if that presence was very faint, even if Han Mountain's ancestor was already dead, the presence he left on the pillar could still ensure that the pillar would not be destroyed.
The muffled boom formed by the two waves of power crashing into each other was drowned out by the thunder in the sky, causing no one to be able to hear it clearly. At the same time, a middle-aged man among the dozen something people sitting on the top of Puqiang Mountain shuddered. Blood trickled down the corner of his mouth as he looked towards the Elder of Puqiang Tribe.
"He touched the treasure left behind by Sir Si Ma. Sir Si Ma did not want to lower himself to his level, but this person has offended us, he must be punished!"
"He overestimated himself …" the Elder of Puqiang Tribe said calmly. (To be continued. If you like this work, please come to Qidian.Com and vote for me. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
