There was no sound of discussion in the field. At that moment, everyone was breathing heavily as they stared at the only name that had not turned gray on the nine eagle statues.
Mo Su was only five steps away from the first place!
At that moment, Ye Wang, who was ranked first, slowly opened his eyes as Shi Hai and the others helped him regulate his breathing. There were still traces of blood in his eyes as he stared at the ranks on the eagle statues. There was a complicated look on his face.
Shi Hai lowered his head as if he was saying something to Ye Wang, but Ye Wang ignored him, as if he did not hear him. He continued staring at the ranks on the eagle statues without blinking.
Shi Hai frowned and sighed in his heart before he turned around and left.
"I am Ye Wang … and I will definitely not lose! I won't play any tricks either! " Ye Wang clenched his fists. At that moment, he was no longer the arrogant strongest among the younger generation. He was a normal tribe member who had given it his all and managed to reach the 905th step, but was injured and had to leave. The anxiety in his heart was much stronger than anyone else's. However, even so, he still had his pride and dignity. He felt that Shi Hai's suggestion was a humiliation to him!
In the silence, the breathing of the crowd became clearer, especially those tribe members who had treated Su Ming as a form of entertainment. Now, their minds were blank, and the only thing left in their minds was disbelief and shock.
They had witnessed a miracle with their own eyes. They had witnessed a rise to power, and they had witnessed a madness that shocked them to their core! There had never been such a person who had climbed to the top from the last place!
There had never been such a person who had surpassed Wu Sen, surpassed Bi Su, surpassed Chen Chong. There had never been such a person who had forced Ye Wang to be injured and forced him to leave Wind Stream Mountain, causing the mountain to only belong to one person – Mo Su!
The group of blazing suns that had entered the top 50 were also deathly silent. They silently looked at the nine statues of Mo Su, and their expressions were complicated. There was envy, jealousy, anticipation, and so on. At this moment, there was no doubt that all of these things were revealed.
The leaders of the tribes were the same. There was no difference in their expressions. Mo Su had already reached an incredibly high position in their hearts. This sort of person would definitely stir up a storm once he returned.
There were far too many people who wanted to know … who this person was … What did he look like … However, Su Ming had been far too ordinary previously. Before the test, few people had even noticed his existence.
Even the man who had dragged him to meet Chen Chong was looking at the name on the eagle statue nervously. There was excitement and anticipation in his eyes.
Only an old man with a protruding mouth and a chin like a monkey's stood in the crowd with a face full of shock. He was certain that every time someone gave up, he would be the first to see that person. But now, when all the participants other than Mo Su had returned to the field, he was dumbfounded to discover that the little fellow he had found the first time was not among them.
"It can '…" Bei Qiong mumbled. He looked at Mo Su' name on the eagle statue. He could not believe it.
'Could it really be … him?!'
Mo Sang and Wind Stream Tribe's Jing Nan stood in a corner far away. They did not speak to each other. They looked at the eagle statue in silence. Mo Sang's expression might have seemed normal, but his heart was filled with shock.
As for Jing Nan, he had witnessed the entire process of Su Ming's rise to power. At that moment, he could no longer hide the shock on his face. He did not expect that Su Ming, who was previously like an ant in his eyes and was not valued at all, who even made him feel that he would be lucky if he could get into the top 50, would surpass his expectations time and time again. He had surprised him one after another, and now, he had shocked him even more.
Jing Nan's heart was heavy towards Su Ming's origins. Mo Sang's words from the day before echoed in his head once again, making him even more uncertain.
After a long, long time, when the people in the field did not show any signs of impatience and were all waiting, light appeared in the horizon in the distance. When morning arrived, Su Ming stood on the 900th step and opened his eyes. There was only one blood vein on his body. As he opened his eyes, the blood vein disappeared.
He lifted his head and looked at the top of the mountain that was illuminated by light. It was a pity that the mountain was shrouded in fog. It was not as bright as it was at night … Su Ming remained silent for a moment before he picked up the plate in his hands and lowered his head to look at it.
"905 …" Su Ming mumbled.
'Since I've already come this far … then I might as well … compete with him!' Su Ming lifted his head abruptly. A resolute look appeared in his eyes. He took a deep breath of the cool morning air and lifted his feet, moving swiftly towards the 901st step.
Yet now, it was dawn. There was no moonlight. Su Ming could feel the pressure pressing down on him. Fortunately, the pressure had lessened a lot as the sun rose. In comparison, it was about the same as the pressure Su Ming felt during the night.
Yet even so, this was above the 900th step. This place was infinitesimally close to the summit of the mountain. The pressure in this place was strong enough to crush a person to death!
Even if it was just one step, it would definitely be equivalent to taking a few steps below, dozens of steps, or even hundreds of steps!
The moment Su Ming's right foot landed, his body trembled violently. All 156 blood veins on his body rose abruptly. As they surrounded his body, they madly fought against the pressure that came crashing down on him.
Su Ming moved!
At the instant he moved, the people in the field beneath him who had been waiting in silence for a long time felt as if they had been suppressing their emotions for a long time, and now, an explosive outburst broke out. As Su Ming moved, an uproar shook the sky!
"901!"
"He made it to the 901st step!"
Countless pairs of eyes fell on the only name that did not turn gray on the nine eagle statues. At that moment, they forgot everything else. In their eyes and minds, the only thing left was the row of names that did not turn dark.
Chen Chong shuddered and took in a sharp breath. He stared at the name with rapt attention. To him, this was definitely the climax of the test. In fact, it was much more intense than all the previous tests. He did not want to miss even a single thing.
Bi Su clenched his fists tightly. The chilling glare in his eyes grew stronger. The jealousy contained within seemed to have turned into a thick killing intent filled with resentment. The tribe leader of Black Mountain Tribe was also filled with killing intent. He stared at Mo Su's name on the eagle statue, and his face was as dark as ice that would never melt.
902!
The moment the number behind Mo Su's name turned into 902, all the people in the field felt their hearts skip a beat.
It was as if Su Ming did not just step on the stairs, he also stepped on the emotions of the people in the field. This was an incredibly rare sight. This scene was enough to show just how important Su Ming was in the eyes of the people in the field. It was enough to show that each and every one of his actions affected the emotions of all the people in the field!
In the past, this was the glory and pride that belonged solely to Ye Wang. Yet now, Ye Wang had become a bystander. He sat not too far away. In his silence, his emotions also jumped as Su Ming's number changed.
This feeling was unfamiliar to him. It was something that he … would never forget!
"903! Nine hundred and three! Just two more steps and he'll be on the same level as Ye Wang. Just three steps and he'll surpass Ye Wang and become the first! "
"Can … he be the first..?"
The pupils of the old woman from Dark Dragon Tribe shrank and her breathing quickened. Bai Ling, who was by her side, was no longer in a daze. She lifted her head and looked at Mo Su's name on the eagle statue. She frowned slightly.
Shan Hen was still sitting in silence in Dark Mountain Tribe. He may still be the same, but there was a strange glint in his narrowed eyes.
Bei Ling's face was filled with excitement. With his status in Dark Mountain Tribe, he would normally not show such an expression on his face. He would purposely act aloof. Yet now, he could not suppress his excitement. He even had a feeling that he was in Mo Su's shoes. That excitement that surpassed the excitement of the prodigy from Wind Stream Tribe made him clench his fists in excitement.
Wu La was even more excited than him. Her face was flushed red. She stood there as if her heart was pounding against her chest. She wished that the person called Mo Su could take a few more steps forward.
Lei Chen gave up on the idea that Mo Su was Su Ming. He felt that this idea was too far-fetched.
"903! Mo Su has reached 903! " Wu La was still a little girl. She immediately shouted excitedly and pointed at the number on the eagle statue. Her eyes were filled with excitement. There was also a strange emotion that could be faintly discerned within her eyes.
An even stronger commotion stirred up in the field. As the buzzing sounds echoed in the air, Ye Wang sat cross-legged on the ground. His eyes were bloodshot once again. He clenched his fists tightly. The complicated feelings in his heart could not be described with words.
He was once a prodigy. He used to stand at the top of the mountain and receive the attention and expectations of the people in the field. Yet now … he had become one of the people in the field. This change was difficult for him to accept.
The cries of surprise and commotion that traveled into his ears were like sharp blades stabbing into his chest. It was painful …
Su Ming stood on the 903rd step. He might be standing straight, but his body was trembling, making him look as if he was about to fall. Even if it was daytime, the pressure that came crashing down on him from the 900th step was so strong that it was unimaginable.
He had only taken three steps when Su Ming felt as if he had reached his limit. The pain coming from his body could no longer be withstood by his blood veins. Cracking sounds echoed in his ears. It was the sound of all the bones in his body reaching their limits.
Su Ming panted harshly as he stood there. His heart was pounding as if it was about to collapse. It also turned into a sharp pain that made his face pale. There were still two more steps to the 905th step …
He could not even rest there. Due to the presence of the pressure, even if he rested, it would still make it difficult for him to circulate his Qi. Su Ming's body trembled. He lifted his right foot abruptly and landed on the 904th step.
The moment his foot landed, his entire body let out a roar and he coughed out a mouthful of blood. Su Ming's body looked as if it was about to fall, but he forced himself to endure it. Once he stood firm, his left foot also landed on the 904th step.
His entire body felt weak. It was as if the entire mountain was pressing down on him. The world spun around him.
