What sort of character was Yingteng? Although he wasn't that outstanding in the Sacred Academy, he was still a prince in the Ying Clan, one of the three great ancient clans of the Southern Regions. Yet, he was humiliated repeatedly by Qin Wentian.
This time around, Qin Wentian used three simple words, 'Who are you?' to slap his face.
After speaking this sentence, Qin Wentian continued moving forwards, passing Yingteng.
This step was akin to stepping on Yingteng's heart.
The cultivation of the Shizhong Wall required one to take it step by step. Every step could be cultivated, slowly accumulating and comprehending the energy of the Shizhong Wall. From there, one could gain benefits from comprehending it and improve oneself. This was the experience of many geniuses in the Sacred Academy. It was extremely rare for someone like Qin Wentian to be able to take 50 steps in a single breath.
But at this moment, Yingteng couldn't care less. He took a step forward as his aura surged. Bell chimes rang out unceasingly from his body.
He roared as he turned his gaze to Qin Wentian. He coldly spoke, "After so many years, you are still as arrogant as ever. However, in the Sacred Academy where geniuses gather, who do you think you are?"
Qin Wentian didn't reply. He took another step forward, directly engulfing Yingteng's silhouette. This caused Yingteng's countenance to turn ashen as an extremely unsightly expression appeared on his face. So what if Qin Wentian might be killed? Right now, he was left behind. Qin Wentian's disregard caused his anger to burn even more intensely.
"BOOM!" Yingteng took another step forward, unwilling to be outdone. He stood shoulder to shoulder with Qin Wentian, although they weren't on the same path.
Qin Wentian glanced at Ying Teng as a smile flickered in his eyes. His smile was extremely radiant, filled with no restraints at all. He still didn't say anything and took another step forward. It seemed as though it was extremely difficult for him to do so, but he still succeeded.
This was the fifty-third step. Yingteng stared at Qin Wentian with a cold expression on his face. Was he finally unable to endure it? If this continued, what awaited Qin Wentian would be the same as that genius back then, killed on the spot.
His aura surged as he released his immortal-foundation. Faint draconic roars could be heard as he took another step forward. With a thunderous roar, Yingteng only felt his bones and meridians being battered by the frenzied attacks of attribute energies. It felt like there were terrifying demonic dragons wreaking havoc in his body. The bell chimes blasted unceasingly. His robes fluttered in the wind as he opened his eyes and stared at Qin Wentian.
Only to see that Qin Wentian had a difficult expression on his face. He struggled for a long time before he lifted his foot again. Yingteng stared at Qin Wentian as a cold smile appeared on his face. Would Qin Wentian still be able to take this step?
The fifty-fourth step, which was also the number of six to nine, Qin Wentian stepped out as his body trembled violently. Yingteng's eyes gleamed with sharpness when he saw this. Qin Wentian couldn't endure any longer? It would be best if he was killed on the spot.
However, although Qin Wentian's body was trembling, he managed to stabilize himself. He drew in a deep breath as he stared at Yingteng with a mocking gaze. This gaze caused Yingteng's entire body to be filled with rage. He was humiliated in the God Hand Mountain Manor, how could he be defeated again today? As he thought of this, Yingteng continued forward. With a thunderous roar, his aura towered up into the sky. Violent currents of qi gushed forth as his body trembled violently. But eventually, he managed to stabilize himself as his blood and qi churned wildly.
"Mhm?" At this moment, the spectators outside the Shizhong Wall also saw Qin Wentian clashing with Yingteng as expressions of interest appeared on their faces. This Qin Wentian was truly astonishing. In such a short period of time, he had already stepped out the number of six to nine. With another step, he would be able to reach the number of seven to nine.
That was a hurdle, and this hurdle had once obstructed many geniuses.
Qin Wentian hesitated for a moment before he finally stepped out. Yingteng was extremely nervous as he stared fixedly at Qin Wentian. He was waiting for Qin Wentian to fail and for him to be killed by the tyrannical energy accumulated in his body.
"BOOM!" The sound of the bell reverberated through the air, emanating from every pore. Even his bones were emitting thunderous sounds, and his blood was rumbling. Qin Wentian groaned in pain as he tottered, as though he was in his twilight years and could wither away at any moment. But gradually, he actually steadied himself and stood firmly on the ground.
Yingteng's countenance was ashen. Qin Wentian stood firm and once again turned his head to look at Qin Wentian. The provocation in his gaze was so obvious.
Qin Wentian clenched his fists tightly as he stared at Qin Wentian. His rationality told him that he shouldn't continue moving forward. He needed to stop for a moment and sort out the chaotic qi flow in his body. This step was extremely dangerous.
"As a descendant of the Ying Clan, how can I endure such humiliation? So what if it's dangerous?" A voice rang out in Yingteng's heart. As he thought of this, his courage grew even stronger as he encouraged himself. A descendant of the Ying Clan, when faced with a challenge, he would never shirk his responsibility.
As he thought of this, Yingteng's heroic spirit soared to the clouds. He lifted his foot and took another step forward. With this step, an even more powerful aura gushed forth as attribute energies gushed into his body. Qin Wentian groaned in pain as his body swayed unsteadily. He coughed out another mouthful of blood as his body was directly flung through the air. The terrifying energy within his body erupted as the bell chimes pierced through his body, leaving behind numerous wounds.
Yingteng's body slammed into the ground, his countenance as pale as paper. He inclined his head and stared at the silhouette of Qin Wentian, his countenance extremely unsightly. In the end, he still lost to Qin Wentian. But so what? His conviction hadn't wavered, his courage was still the same.
But at this moment, Yingteng saw Qin Wentian glancing back at him with a smile on his face. After that, under the astonished gaze of Yingteng, Qin Wentian continued to step forward. He didn't look like he was on the verge of collapsing at any moment. Every step he took caused intense bell chimes to ring out, and every step he took felt like trampling on Yingteng's heart.
That was an insurmountable gap. At the same time, it was also an extreme humiliation. At this moment, how could Yingteng not understand that Qin Wentian was intentionally toying with him, treating him like a fool? At this moment, all his so-called courage had vanished into thin air, leaving behind only incompetence and stupidity.
With a 'wah' sound, Yingteng coughed out another mouthful of blood. He was so angry that he actually fainted.
Such a scene caused everyone to have a look of astonishment on their faces. That fellow was so ruthless, he actually injured a Heaven's Chosen and caused him to faint. Moreover, from the beginning to the end, he didn't even make a single move. It was as if Yingteng was the one who humiliated himself.
Qin Wentian didn't look at Yingteng anymore, he continued walking forward. For a character like Yingteng, if he didn't see him again, he would have already forgotten about him. However, since Yingteng wanted to humiliate him so badly, he didn't mind playing along with Yingteng.
At this moment, Qin Wentian had already taken 63 steps, which was the number seven by nine. If he continued forward, he would enter the number eight by nine. Many people had solemn expressions on their faces, exclaiming in admiration at Qin Wentian's performance.
Whether it was against the Immortal Treading Steps or the confidence of toying with Yingteng in the palm of his hand, everyone could feel the sharpness of his aura. It was as if he really wanted to challenge the number nine by nine.
The 64 steps was the beginning of the number eight by nine. However, when Qin Wentian's foot landed, it was as steady as a boulder. That frail body of his was like a stone pillar that pierced through the heavens, not wavering in the slightest because of that crushing force.
What was even more terrifying was that Qin Wentian managed to walk all the way here in one breath.
At this moment, Qin Wentian could already feel an immense pressure. This Shizhong Wall was extremely powerful. The law energy he was proficient in seemed to be reflected back at him, baptizing his flesh and blood, allowing him to comprehend it himself. Every impact was like the sound of a morning bell ringing in his body. However, it was still unable to shake him. This was naturally because of his perfect physique and unparalleled bloodline.
Qin Wentian's cultivation path was too solid. He had a perfect immortal-foundation, an indestructible body like that of a fiendgod, and a powerful bloodline. He had no weaknesses, it was naturally hard to break him.
However, in front of Qin Wentian, there were still some powerful geniuses. At the 75th step, there was an extremely powerful character. The aura he exuded was extremely sharp, containing the aura of a king. His sword intent gushed forth, piercing straight into the Stonebell Rampart.
This man was none other than Gu Xiao, a disciple of the Supreme Sword School. He was an innate sword king. Back then, Qin Wentian had once met him in the royal palace of the Evergreen Kingdom. The Supreme Sword School joined forces with the Tenlan Heaven Kingdom to threaten the Evergreen Kingdom and issued a challenge. Back then, Gu Xiao was one of the participants and his combat prowess was extremely tyrannical.
"Defeating and humiliating a third-rate genius, would that make you feel more confident?" Gu Xiao's tone was as sharp as his sword. Back then, Qin Wentian's incomparably arrogant performance in the Evergreen KingdomPalace had angered many geniuses from the Tenlan Heaven Kingdom as well as the Supreme Sword School.
This Gu Xiao actually mocked Ying Teng, saying that Ying Teng was merely a third-rate heaven's chosen. Indeed, when compared to him who was an innate sword king, Ying Teng truly didn't qualify as a second-rate heaven's chosen.
This Gu Xiao could reach the 75th step and was only six steps away from the endpoint. From this, one could see how powerful he was. In addition, no one knew if he still had the potential to advance further.
Qin Wentian inclined his head and glanced at Gu Xiao as he calmly replied, "It doesn't matter if I'm confident or not. My confidence doesn't need to depend on humiliating others to raise it. It's just that for those who want to humiliate me, I don't mind returning the favor to them. Regardless of third-rate geniuses or truly terrifying geniuses, it's all the same."
"This fellow …" Several geniuses felt their hearts trembling. After injuring Yingteng by toying with him, Qin Wentian was going to issue a challenge to Gu Xiao who just reached the 75th step?
Regardless of third-rate geniuses or truly terrifying geniuses, it's all the same. The meaning behind this sentence was extremely clear. Regardless of Yingteng or Gu Xiao, it's all the same.
Gu Xiao's lips curled into a cold smile. His foot which hadn't moved for a long time finally moved once more. A supreme sword might pierced through the air, akin to a myriad of swords piercing through his heart, aiming for Gu Xiao's body. However, he simply stood there like a sword piercing through the heavens. With a single step, he took the 76th step. Using a domineering step, he replied to Qin Wentian's words.
There were only five more steps left before Gu Xiao would reach the endpoint.
"How powerful. How difficult would it be to challenge Gu Xiao?" The hearts of the crowd trembled. Other than that, from the 73rd step to the 81st step, there were still several experts present. Each position represented a terrifying genius!
