They had to remain silent, because all of this was just the beginning!
There were less than twenty people left in the mountain on the nine eagle statues, and Su Ming's name on the plates in their hands was rising madly at a terrifying speed!
Twentieth place, nineteenth place, seventeenth place, fifteenth place, fourteenth place, twelfth place, tenth place.
The moment he reached the 10th place, his name changed once again and he became the 9th place!
Wu Sen stood there in a daze. He stood on the four hundred and fifty-seventh step, staring blankly at the ranking on the badge in his hand. He did not dare to believe his own eyes. Even though he had already predicted that the person called Mo Su would definitely be shocking once he made a move, he had never imagined that the degree of shock would be so terrifying!!
In an instant, Wu Sen went from 12th place to 13th place. He did not even have the chance to react, did not even have the slightest chance to fight back or struggle.
He was not the only one who was stunned. Besides him, all the people from the 10th place to the 20th place had their names changed in an instant. That change made them feel powerless. They did not even have the time to think about fighting back. All that was left was admiration and shock.
Wu Sen let out a low growl. Veins popped up on his face as he gritted his teeth and charged forward madly. He could not accept this! As he moved, all the people whose names were lower than Su Ming's stood up from their resting and chased after him with gritted teeth!
Those who could enter the top 20 were definitely not ordinary people. Their pride did not allow them to give up so easily. At that moment, they did not care about the increasing pressure in the night and all of them moved!
Even Chen Chong, who was resting on the 547th step, shuddered. He looked at the plate in his hands with a dumbfounded expression and sucked in a sharp breath. He could hear the muffled rumbling sound in his ears just now. That was the sound of blood veins increasing. It was the sound he had longed for and envied previously!
Bi Su, who was resting on the 553rd step, felt it even more clearly. There was only a thick layer of fog separating him from Su Ming's path. He could hear the muffled rumbling sound clearly. He could also feel Mo Su's crazed and terrifying speed on the path next to his!
The two of them were not the only ones who were nervous. At that moment, the five people ranked from the fourth to the eighth were the most nervous. These five people were all from Wind Stream Tribe. They might not be as famous as Chen Chong and Wu Sen, but they were still extraordinary people.
But at that moment, their nervousness caused their hearts to beat faster. One by one, they stood up from their rest and immediately began climbing again!
But it was night. It was the middle of the night. The pressure in Wind Stream Mountain was at its strongest. The resistance they faced as they climbed up the mountain was incredibly strong. The feeling of being pressed down by the might of heaven was enough to make a person break down.
That was especially true when everyone rose to their feet. Before they could even take a few steps forward, the shock in their eyes when they looked at the rankings on their medallions turned into astonishment. One by one, they stopped in their tracks.
Su Ming's long hair danced in the air. Without the grass rope tying him up, his hair moved without wind. His eyes were bloodshot, and there was a moon burning within them!
He did not stop for even a moment. Once he reached the 471st step, booming sounds came from all over his body. His blood veins increased one by one. He did not even bother to check how many blood veins he had gained. Instead, he lifted his foot and took another step forward.
The pressure from the top of the mountain fell on his body. It was as if there were countless mountains pressing down on him. Su Ming's entire body could not withstand it. The Qi in his body circulated rapidly. Moonlight surrounded his body, and under the pressure, he continued moving forward!
Four hundred seventy-two, four hundred eighty-three, four hundred ninety-four, five hundred sixty … five hundred twenty-three, five hundred thirty-seven … five hundred forty-six!!
When Su Ming stood on the 546th step, he finally stopped. His entire body was drenched in sweat and his breathing was rapid. Yet there was still determination in his eyes!
Booming sounds came from his body. As he stopped, the 87 blood veins rose abruptly and scattered around his body, turning into a powerful presence that enveloped Su Ming's entire body.
Fourth, Mo Su, 546 steps!
There were only three people in front of him! Behind him were all the other candidates who were participating in the first stage of the test!
He might not be able to look down on all the mountains, much less climb to the top, but at that moment, Su Ming was still standing at the peak!
At that moment, Chen Chong shuddered. He might not be able to see Su Ming, but he could feel a presence crashing into his face from the plate in his hand. He could also hear the booming sounds that shocked him to his core.
He could not see the person, but he had a feeling that this person was even more frightening than Bi Su. Perhaps it was precisely because he could not see the person and because he was so mysterious that Chen Chong felt a rare hint of wariness in his heart.
Chen Chong might have seemed to be an easygoing person, but in truth, he still had his pride in his heart. He could look down on Bi Su and give up because he was too tired. His personality dictated that he did not want to fight too much. There was no need for him to tire himself out, but the main reason was that Bi Su was not his opponent.
So what if he surpassed him? He did not have that presence that made people tremble. Everything was pale. In Chen Chong's eyes, among all the people he had seen, only Ye Wang had that presence!
Yet now, he discovered to his shock that he could feel the presence that only Ye Wang had from Mo Su's name! Chen Chong's expression became serious. He no longer mumbled. Instead, the presence of a powerful Berserker gradually appeared on his body.
He stood up and looked into the depths of the fog. He could vaguely see a person standing coldly on the 546th step of one of the stairs. That person had his head lifted and was looking at the sky. There was an oppressive presence coming from that person that made Chen Chong pay great attention to it.
Compared to Chen Chong, Bi Su could not compare in this aspect. His face was ferocious and filled with ruthlessness as he glared at the fog. He could even feel the faint sounds of breathing coming from the person behind the fog.
"No matter who you are, it's impossible for you to surpass me!" Bi Su roared at the fog. His voice fused with the fog and gradually spread out.
At that moment, the person from Wind Stream Tribe who was ranked last on the mountain chose to give up after a moment of silence. He chose to leave.
He knew that the first stage of the test did not need to wait for the sun to rise. It was already the final battle. However, he could not participate in this battle. The mountain only belonged to a limited number of people. He did not want to be a supporting character. Instead of staying, it was better for him to leave.
He knew his limits and knew when to advance and when to retreat. This might not be common among many people, but most of the prodigies who were ranked in the top 20 knew this.
Most of the powerful Berserkers respected each other, even if they were not from the same tribe. As this person left, besides Wu Sen and the other two people who were ranked fourth, the others gradually chose to give up. They left this place for the four people who stood at the top.
They left it for them to fight!
Wu Sen struggled for a moment before he let out a long sigh and also chose to leave. The other two people seemed to be unwilling to give up. As they hesitated, when they saw that the others had already left, they also chose to give up.
As the wisps of black fog appeared in the quiet field in the middle of the night, no one looked at them. At that moment, all the people in the field were looking at the ranks on the eagle statue. Their breathing quickened.
The old woman from Dark Dragon Tribe had already stood up with a grave expression on her face. The strong man beside her was the same. They were not the only ones. All the people from the other tribes were doing the same.
No one continued sitting. Even the tribe leader of Black Mountain Tribe had a dark expression on his face as he stared at the ranks on the eagle statue.
Bei Ling, Si Kong, Bai Ling, Lei Chen, Wu La … and all the others were looking at the ranks in silence.
Even the prodigies who had returned to the field did not mind that their return was not valued. They looked at the eagle statue and at the four rows of names that were lit up while most of the names had turned gray.
Mo Sang was also looking at the names intently. Jing Nan, who was by his side, did not reveal any of his thoughts. He was also looking at the names.
Su Ming stood on the 546th step and sucked in a deep breath. The pressure here was incredibly strong, and it was difficult for him to move as quickly as before. He lifted his foot and walked up to the 547th step, then walked up the stairs one step at a time.
His footsteps were not quick, but they were steady.
Faint roars traveled into his ears from the fog beside him. It was as if someone was saying something, but he did not listen carefully. Instead, he continued walking up the steps.
Chen Chong's face was grave. He no longer mumbled under his breath, neither did he look at the ranks on the plate. Instead, he tore off his clothes to reveal his slightly thicker upper body and walked up the steps with a serious look on his face.
As for Bi Su, his face was incredibly ferocious. He gritted his teeth and withstood the strong pressure and the pain that seemed to be coming from his body as he walked up the steps. As he walked up the first step, he continued staring at the ranks on the plate!
First, Ye Wang, 791 steps.
Second, Bi Su, 554 steps.
Third, Chen Chong, 548 steps.
Fourth, Mo Su, 547 steps.
Among the four of them, only Bi Su was still looking at the ranks. The other three did not. Ye Wang did not care about any changes. He had always thought that he was his only opponent.
Chen Chong, on the other hand, had his own pride. He could vaguely feel Su Ming's presence, which made him regard him highly. That was why he did not look at the ranks, afraid that it would mess up his mind.
Su Ming did not look at it either. He only walked towards the stairs. With each step he took, his body would tremble and a large amount of sweat would break out on his body. He could feel the incredibly powerful pressure, but the determination within him and the indescribable determination within him caused him to be like a small tree in the face of a violent gust of wind. He struggled and did not fall under that pressure!
"Among all the living beings on the land, who can see the end of the sky..?" Su Ming looked at the sky and mumbled as he walked …
