Su Ming moved. He lifted his foot and stepped on the 100th step. He had been standing on the 99th step for a long time because when the 53rd blood vein appeared, the Qi in his body started tumbling violently and surrounded his body. He needed his body to get used to it before he could continue moving forward.
After all, the appearance of the blood vein meant that he had broken through to the next level of cultivation. It was not a normal increase.
As he moved, Su Ming rose into the air. His body seemed to be continuously absorbing the moonlight as he moved forward. In the blink of an eye, he was already on the 115th step.
Su Ming did not stop. As he sensed the increasingly stronger pressure coming from the top of the mountain, he rushed forward. 120 steps, 130 steps, 140 steps, 150 steps, 160 steps!
In the span of a few breaths, Su Ming had already walked up 60 steps. When he stood on the 160th step, Su Ming felt as if the pressure from the top of the mountain was crashing down on him. It was as if a huge force had appeared and was pressing down on his body.
Yet at that moment, the moon was shining brightly in the sky. Moonlight surrounded Su Ming's entire body, causing his black hair that was tied up by the hemp rope to float in the air.
As soon as he moved, almost half of the participants on the mountain, as well as the public square outside, instantly fell into a dead silence!
Wu La was stunned. She was originally worried about her ranking. She was originally feeling wronged and unwilling to admit defeat. Yet now, as her expression turned blank, all her complicated thoughts disappeared. She understood that she was not at the same level as Su Ming. If they were not at the same level, then why did she force herself to compare herself to him? This sort of comparison would only bring humiliation upon herself.
Lei Chen stood up abruptly and looked at the plate in his hands with a dumbfounded expression. He had some guesses about Mo Su's name, but now, he was doubtful of his guesses. He could not be sure whether his guesses were correct or not.
Bei Ling held onto the plate in his hand tightly. His heart raced against his chest. During that instant just now, he felt as if his soul had been shaken to the core. He watched as the person called Mo Su walked up 60 steps in a single breath. That speed was so fast that he could not believe it. It almost made him forget to breathe.
He had originally thought that the other party had forcibly walked out in the middle of the night in order to attract attention. But now that he looked at it, that was not the case at all. The other party clearly possessed true strength!
Otherwise, how could he have reached the sixtieth step in just a few breaths!
The entire mountain was silent. In this silence, Chen Chong forcefully blinked his eyes. He had the intention to ignore it, but his instincts told him that this person called Mo Su was very likely the fellow he had heard the rumbling sound of a breakthrough earlier!
"It should be him … It should be! But who could he be? He's not from Wind Stream Tribe. I don't know if I've seen him in the field before. " At this moment, Chen Chong did not know that among the crowd that surrounded him and laughed along with him in an attempt to blend into his circle, there was a person with a very faint smile and a very ordinary appearance. It was so faint that it was barely discernible, so ordinary that no one paid attention to it.
That person was also looking at Chen Chong, at him talking and laughing, at him being surrounded by the crowd, at him walking towards Bai Ling …
Just as Chen Chong was deep in thought, Bi Su widened his eyes as he stood on the path closest to Su Ming. It was as if he wanted to see through the fog and see what the person on the path beside him looked like.
Bi Su was different from Chen Chong. He was too close to Mo Su. He was almost certain that the person called Mo Su was at the bottom of the path behind the fog, and he was very close to him!
'He's only at the 160th step. Compared to me, the difference is more than double. This person is nothing to worry about! If he can get close to me, then it won't be too late for me to pay attention to him, 'Bi Su thought in his heart and closed his eyes with a cold smile.
Wu Sen's face was dark as he stood on the path on the other side of the mountain. His eyes sparkled as he stared at the rankings on the plate. He spent a lot of time on Bi Su and Mo Su's names.
'I'm now at the 12th place, 295th step … Oh well, I can't enter the top 10. I can feel my weakness getting worse … The person who stole my Blood of Corpses that night must be one of these two people!' Wu Sen was not stupid. In fact, he was very smart, or else he would not have been able to occupy a certain position in the tribe, which was filled with internal strife. He would not have been able to control the people, including Bei Ling, in his hands.
'Bi Su!' Wu Sen's gaze swept past Mo Su's name, and a ferocious glint appeared in his eyes. He stared at Bi Su, who was ranked second, but there was a hint of wariness in the depths of that ferociousness.
Wu Sen did not have the confidence that he would be able to retrieve his Blood of Corpses from the person who was ranked second …
Si Kong's face was filled with anxiety. His current appearance was very similar to Wu La's. When he saw Mo Su's name at the 160th step, his heart raced. He was worried that he would be surpassed.
It would have been fine if it was during the day, but it was late at night. He did not have the confidence to continue. Besides, he was ranked 49th. Once he was surpassed, he would immediately be ranked 50th. There might be a difference of one place, but the meaning behind it was completely different.
Apart from them, almost everyone who was participating in the Great Entrance Test had their gazes focused on the name 'Mo Su' on their tokens.
Ye Wang was the only one who did not look at his plate, so he did not know what had happened. However, with his personality, even if he knew, he would not care about it.
Compared to the dead silence in the mountain, the field was now truly silent. That silence made it seem as if someone's breathing had been stopped and they could not make a single sound.
The power that gripped the necks of many people in the field came from their own shock. It came from the same ranking on the eagle statues.
63rd, Mo Su, 160th step.
After experiencing the sudden increase in rankings and the number of steps, many of the people present could no longer treat Mo Su's name as a joke to pass the time at night. Instead, they began to take him seriously. That was because the sudden increase in the number of steps to the sixtieth had caused an unbelievable shock to surface in their hearts!
If it was during the day, perhaps they would not be able to use the word 'shocked'. However, it was now night, a night where the pressure of the mountain was hundreds of times higher than that of the day. To almost everyone, if one could reach the 160th step in a few breaths at night, then that number would double in the day!
There weren't many people who could do this among the clansmen of all the tribes who participated in the competition!
"Who … is he …?"
"Mo Su … Mo Su … I calculated just now. In less than ten breaths' time, he went from the 99th step to the 160th step … This … This is unbelievable!!"
"His ranking went from the 101st to the 63rd in an instant. This person … Since this person has such strength, if he did this during the day, he could even make it into the top 30. Why did he do this at night …?"
After a long while, the sounds of discussion gradually appeared in the square, and it became more and more intense. Even the leaders of the various tribes looked over.
However, the old woman from Dark Dragon Tribe and the tribe leader of Black Mountain Tribe did not pay any attention to them.
This night was bound to be extraordinary. This night was bound to be filled with glory, and it belonged to one person – Su Ming!
Mo Sang smiled faintly as he looked at the ranking on the eagle statue. The anticipation in his heart grew stronger. He knew that Su Ming had completely understood the meaning behind the six numbers.
By his side, Jing Nan, the Elder of Wind Stream Tribe, had a calm expression on his face. Not a hint of emotion could be seen on his face. With his power and status, if he could not hide his emotions, he would not have his current status and power.
"Not bad, Mo Sang. The child you brought back was taught well by you. Honestly, I've always been curious about his background … "Jing Nan smiled faintly and looked at Mo Sang.
"Curious? If I told you that he's the prince of the Great Yu Dynasty, would you believe me?" Mo Sang looked at Jing Nan and spoke with a smile. It was impossible to tell whether he was lying or not from his expression. Perhaps no one else knew about the secret of Su Ming's background besides himself.
"Why don't you say that he's the son of the God of Berserkers? Interesting, interesting." Jing Nan was momentarily stunned before he laughed out loud.
"Perhaps he is," Mo Sang said with a smile.
Jing Nan laughed, but his heart was somewhat bewildered and uncertain. He did not know whether he should believe Mo Sang's words or not. This sort of thinking made him extremely unhappy. In the years that he had grown up, every time he met Mo Sang, he would always have this sort of feeling.
At that moment, a cry of surprise appeared once again in the midst of the discussions in the field!
"He's moving again! Just how many steps is he going to take before he stops?! Look, he's at the 168th step! "
"One hundred seventy-two, one hundred seventy-nine. This speed seems to be a little slower than before …"
"This should be his final attempt. I'm sure that he can at most reach the 200th step. He definitely won't surpass it!"
"That's about it. Perhaps it'll be difficult for him to even reach the 190th step. After all, it's midnight now. Besides, the higher we go, the stronger the pressure!" As the discussions continued, countless gazes fell on the rankings on the statues. Some of those gazes were cold, some were disdainful, some were expectant, some were envious, and some were jealous.
At that moment, Su Ming's entire body was surrounded by the moon as he walked towards the stairs before him. As he moved forward, the 53 blood veins on his body let out a brilliant red glow, and as he moved forward, the 54th blood vein also appeared on his body.
Soon after, the 55th, 56th, 57th blood veins appeared at the same time, causing the blood light on Su Ming's body to become even stronger. It filled his body with a vast amount of power that was about to explode.
With a low growl, Su Ming took a huge step forward. When he reached the 186th step, banging sounds came from his body once again as his blood veins increased. That sound made Bi Su, who was on the other path beside the fog, frown. It also made Chen Chong, who was listening from afar, grit his teeth in anger. He wanted nothing more than to let out the same sound from his body.
One hundred eighty-nine, one hundred ninety-two, one hundred ninety-nine … two hundred!
The rankings on the statues in the field changed once again!
1st, Ye Wang, 600 steps.
2nd, Bi Su, 397 steps.
3rd, Chen Chong, 391 steps.
…..
48th, Bei Ling, 206 steps.
49th, Si Kong, 201 steps.
50th, Mo Su, 200 steps.
