It was difficult!
Because it was easy to follow orders, but it was difficult to go against them! For example, blood veins would appear one by one as his Qi circulated through his body. There was even a possibility that all of them would appear in an instant. This was easy.
Yet if he wanted to make them disappear one by one, then he would need to accurately control the speed at which his Qi circulated through his body. That precision had to be as precise as fine control.
It was rare for a Berserker in the Blood Solidification Realm to be able to do this. In fact, this was not something that a Berserker in the Blood Solidification Realm should be able to do. This was something that powerful Berserkers in the Transcendence Realm needed to understand and execute.
Su Ming did not know any of this. All he knew was that the elder had taught him to do this. It was as if he was trying to solve a riddle. He wanted him to find the answer himself, and as he thought about it, he gradually felt that he should do it.
There was not a hint of forcefulness, neither was there a hint of force. Everything was so natural that it made Su Ming feel that he should give it a try.
Or else, it would be a waste of the answer he had spent so much time thinking about.
Time passed by slowly. In the blink of an eye, two hours went by. During those two hours, Su Ming sat still and continued trying to circulate the Qi in his body. The blood veins on his body started changing in a strange manner. The 49 blood veins would occasionally decrease by a dozen something veins, and at other times, they would explode and return to 49 veins. As the cycle continued, the blood veins seemed to be progressing steadily.
All of this was largely related to the stable pressure in the area. It could even be said that only with the help of this external force could a Berserker in the Blood Solidification Realm achieve fine control, something only Berserkers in the Transcendence Realm could do.
As time slowly passed, it was soon dusk. At dusk, the mist on the mountain became even thicker, and it was completely silent. However, the public square outside was the exact opposite of the scene on the mountain. It was extremely lively, and the sounds of discussions could be heard continuously. There were even quite a few people who took out stone coins and started to gamble.
"The first place is still Ye Wang. Look, he's already at the 516th step! The second place is Chen Chong, he's only at the 328th step! "
"That's nothing. I've been keeping an eye on the third place, Bi Su. He's definitely an accident in this test. I'm afraid everyone has the same feeling. This person I've never heard of is already at the 327th step! There's only one step between him and the second place. They've been alternating between each other for the entire afternoon. "
"It's a pity that Wu Sen is only at the 12th place …"
In the corner of the field, Mo Sang and Wind Stream's Jing Nan sat with their legs crossed. No one dared to disturb them. There was also an invisible barrier around them that separated them from the outside world.
"Mo Sang, Su Ming hasn't moved from the 32nd spot for the entire afternoon. I think he's feeling a little tired. He's now ranked last." Jing Nan frowned slightly. He felt that something was off.
Mo Sang did not speak. He only looked at the ranking on the eagle statue. His expression remained the same, but in his heart, he was happy. He knew that Su Ming had understood.
In his eyes, if Su Ming could figure it out on his own, it would be even more precious to him than if he obtained the Berserker Blood.
When dusk arrived, the sun and moon appeared in the sky at the same time, faintly changing places. Su Ming's ranking did not attract too much attention. Most of the people only swept their gazes past him to see who was ranked last.
At that moment, Su Ming was still sitting cross-legged on the 32nd step. He did not seem to have changed much, but if anyone took a closer look, they would be able to see that the 49 blood veins on his body were changing rapidly. Sometimes they would be at 46, sometimes they would be at 47, and sometimes they would be at 48. Due to the speed of the changes, it was difficult to tell if one did not look closely.
At that moment, Su Ming was still sitting on the 32nd step. He did not seem to have changed much, but if anyone took a closer look, they would be able to see that the 49 blood veins on his body were changing rapidly. Sometimes, they would change to 46, sometimes they would change to 47, and sometimes they would change to 48. Due to the speed of the changes, if they did not look closely, they would not be able to see it.
At that moment, Su Ming opened his eyes. There was a hint of excitement in his eyes. He did it. It may not be perfect, but he did it!
Out of 10 times, he could make only one blood vein disappear nine times!
Even though it was only one vein, it meant that Su Ming had already gained initial control over the circulation of his Qi. His Qi no longer flowed out like a wild horse without a leash, but he had a rein on it!
Slowly, as he sat there, the number of blood veins on his body increased to 47, 46, 45 … When the number reached 38, he could no longer control his Qi and it became chaotic.
Su Ming knew that it was because the pressure on the 32nd step was no longer enough to help him. If he wanted to take another step forward, he would have to go to the 79th step!
Su Ming's eyes shone brightly. Without any hesitation, he stood up and took a step forward. He landed on the 33rd step and walked forward without a hint of hesitation. As he walked up each step and as the pressure from the mountain enveloped him, the 49 blood veins in Su Ming's body suddenly appeared and circulated rapidly. His fine control during the afternoon was not just an achievement, it also included his control over his blood veins. The moment his blood veins erupted, muffled rumbling sounds came from within Su Ming's body. The rumbling sounds were not loud.
However, as the sound reverberated, a fiftieth line of blood appeared on his body!
Once the 50th blood vein appeared, the 51st followed. It did not end there. As Su Ming walked up the stairs … 37th, 42nd, 49th, 58th …
Very soon, the moment he reached the 60th step, the 52nd blood vein appeared on Su Ming's body!
With one more, he would be able to reach the fifth level of the Blood Solidification Realm!
At that moment, he could even practice the Berserker Art, Dark Blood Dust!
The muffled sound from his body may not have traveled too far, but Bi Su from Black Mountain Tribe, who was 300 something steps away from him, heard it as he walked down the stairs. He stopped and turned his head around to look.
'That's the sound of someone breaking through the number of blood veins … Someone increased their blood veins here? Who could it be..?' He fell into a moment of silence, but did not pay too much attention to it. He continued walking forward. It may have been his first time here, but before he came, he had made ample preparations.
Bi Su knew that during the first stage of the test, the pressure on the mountain during the night was much stronger than during the day. That was why almost everyone would stop when the moon hung high in the sky and it was late at night. After all, if they continued moving forward at this time, they would have to pay a higher price, and it was not worth it.
It was better to rest for the night and continue when the sun rose. That way, he could ensure that he was at his best condition. That was why he had to walk as much as possible before he rested before midnight arrived.
When the number of blood veins in Su Ming's body increased to 52, he continued moving forward. He walked up the stairs and headed towards the top of the mountain, which he could not see the end of.
At that moment, he did not know that his rapid advance had stirred up a small storm in the field outside.
Most of the hundreds of people in the field were looking at the changes in the top 50 ranks, but they would occasionally look at the person called Mo Su, who was ranked last. They would mock him in their hearts. After all, in their eyes, that person had spent the entire afternoon on the 32nd step without moving, as if he did not have the strength to continue moving forward.
But now, when a burly man among the hundreds of people looked at the changes in the top fifty with envy, he subconsciously glanced at the last place and was stunned for a moment. Then, his eyes abruptly widened. He saw with his own eyes that the number behind Mo Su's name, who was in last place, had suddenly increased explosively.
33, 37, 45, 48 … until it reached 61, 63 … and it was still increasing!
He also looked at the ranking. From the last place, Mo Su's name had risen by more than 10 places, and it was still increasing!
Very soon, he was not the only one who saw this abnormal change. Many people also noticed it, and when they looked over, they were all shocked. It was as if the attraction of the top 50 was not as attractive as the person ranked last.
"That person called Mo Su is actually starting to rise! Haha, could it be that he just woke up after resting for the entire afternoon?! "
"He's already at the 137th place. He climbed by more than 10 places from the last place. This guy's getting stronger after the fact. Let's see whether he can get into the top 120."
"He's in! The 119th place, the 79th step! "
"Hmm … Why did he stop again?"
"He actually stopped again!" The people who were paying attention to Su Ming's rank were disappointed when they saw Mo Su, who was ranked at the 119th place, and that the number on the 79th step had not changed for a long time.
"I thought that there would be another accident, but it's a pity that he doesn't have enough strength left. The 79th step should be his limit. This should be the strength that he's been accumulating for the entire afternoon, and now it's all released in one go."
Gradually, the people in the field no longer paid attention to the ordinary name. Instead, they placed their attention on the top 50. It was almost midnight. Based on the usual practice, no one would climb the stairs during midnight. The ranking at that time would be the end of the day.
At the corner of the field, Mo Sang looked at the rapidly rising ranking and saw Su Ming stopping at the 79th step. A smile appeared at the corners of his lips.
By his side, Jing Nan, the Elder of Wind Stream Tribe, was still frowning. The 100 something names on the eagle statue that he was looking at seemed to have disappeared. There was only one name left.
119. Mo Su, the 79th step.
As Su Ming's rank continued rising, Wu La was looking at the plate in her hands anxiously as she stood on one of the stairs in the giant mountain. She could see the ranking on it.
118. Wu La, the 82nd step.
After a while, when Wu La saw that the person called Mo Su was still at the 79th step, she let out a sigh of relief. She gritted her teeth and continued moving up the stairs.
