At this moment, there was a question lingering in the minds of the disciples of the Sword Tomb.
Did Xie Tian fall down or not?
But the sixty monkeys on the sword mountain didn't have this doubt. They were very sure that Xie Tian fell down.
Mu Liang had already climbed more than four thousand feet. Because of Xie Tian's fall, he stopped climbing. As he ate the second Heavenly Essence Grass, he looked at Xie Tian, who was like a black dot at the foot of the mountain, with a proud expression.
"I wanted to step on you to vent my anger, but I didn't expect you to be so disappointing. I didn't even use my strength, and you fell down, haha!" Mu Liang laughed more and more happily, and shouted down with all his strength, "Xie Tian, you really let me down!"
Xie Tian hung on the mountain wall, motionless.
Looking at the two small palms that almost sank into the mountain wall, the Third Elder sighed in his heart, closed his mouth and said coldly, "What are you waiting for? There is still an hour and a half left. If you want to climb, hurry up!"
That means he didn't fall down. The disciples looked at the one-inch distance and thought that this kid really stepped on dog sh * t.
But they didn't know how much fear Xie Tian had overcome to leave this one-inch distance.
Although the one-inch distance was short, it was the starting point of Xie Tian's transformation from fear to fearlessness.
The numbness caused by fear still lingered. This feeling was very uncomfortable, because this numbness would make Xie Tian's body twitch and tremble unconsciously. The perfect control brought by the Minor Innate Realm now had a flaw.
After a full thirty deep breaths, Xie Tian raised his head and looked up.
He saw fifty-nine mocking faces, and a pair of proud eyes higher up.
These things were the motivation for him to move forward, but they were not the goal for him to move forward.
He pulled out his right hand that was deeply stuck in the mountain wall and stretched it up.
The reason why he climbed again was only to defeat himself.
Like the wind, the speed at which the four disciples looked up could not keep up with the speed of Xie Tian's rise. In ten breaths, Xie Tian returned to two hundred feet.
At the foot of the mountain, there were many eyeballs, including those of the disciples of the Sword Tomb and those of the sixty people.
"F * ck, f * ck!"
"How is this possible!"
"Is he a monkey!"
…
Xie Tian stopped and looked at Mu Liang in Silence. Then, he lowered his head and looked down at the 600 feet below him.
The fear was still there.
But this time, he held on firmly.
One joss stick's worth of time …
Two incense sticks' worth of time …
Three incense sticks' worth of time …
…
"Humph, what an act!"
Mu Liang snorted coldly and didn't dare to delay any longer. There were less than two hours until the end of the second exam, and he was still four thousand feet away from his goal. As the Young Master of the Mu Clan, he had to take first place in this third exam. This was what the Mu Clan should do!
"What are you doing?"
Thinking back to Xie Tian's behavior after climbing the mountain, the Third Elder deeply frowned. He seemed to have noticed something, but he didn't dare to believe it. But when he saw the fear in those bloodshot eyes slowly fade away, he had no choice but to accept his guess.
After accepting it, he was dumbfounded.
This kid was actually afraid of heights?
This little bastard actually wanted to overcome his fear in the serious entrance examination?
When Xie Tian felt that his breathing had stabilized, he lifted his head and stopped practicing the Eighteen Sectioned Brocade. Moving his stiff fingers, he closed his eyes and rested for a moment before opening them again and looking down.
His fear had lessened by a lot.
After that, he drew in a deep breath and a smile hung on his face. He once again transformed into the wind, and with a swish, he surpassed the crowd that was struggling to advance at the 300 feet mark, arriving at the 400 feet mark where Mu Liang had stopped for the longest time.
"He, he … AH!"
A few geniuses from Chu who were scared silly by Xie Tian fell to the ground in a daze. Their miserable screams woke everyone up. The people below Xie Tian all had expressions as though they had seen a ghost. Mu Liang, who was almost 500 feet away, lowered his head and saw the person closest to him.
Xie Tian.
"F * ck, what kind of speed is this!"
Mu Liang's eyeballs almost popped out. The complacency and satisfaction in his heart was instantly replaced by a strong sense of urgency. He didn't dare to think why Xie Tian would suddenly appear behind him. His only thought was to quickly climb, the faster the better.
At 400 feet, Xie Tian once again lowered his head and looked down.
The moment the fear was born, it was smashed into pieces by the heroic spirit and determination in his heart!
"I can even defeat myself. Fear of heights? Hmph! "
Madness flashed in his blood-red eyes. Xie Tian exerted force on his waist and his entire body instantly turned upside down.
Even if he was looking down, he wasn't willing to lower his head!
Even if he was facing fear, he still had to raise his head!
The Third Elder suddenly soared into the sky and flew to the same height as Xie Tian in a breath's time. The joy in his eyes almost materialized.
"To face fear like this, this kid's courage is simply unimaginable!" The Third Elder's heart was filled with excitement as he muttered in a trembling voice, "Even if you have a ninth-grade spiritual root, my Sword Tomb will definitely have one more peerless sword cultivator in a few decades!"
"I'm not afraid!"
A slightly immature shout burst out from Xie Tian's mouth. Although it was immature, it was like a young dragon roaring in the sky.
"I'm not afraid!"
The second fearless declaration sounded. Xie Tian's four limbs that were hanging on the mountain wall suddenly broke free and shot down rapidly like a hunting eagle!
There was no fear or panic in his blood-red eyes, only the belief that he could defeat himself and the momentum that was fearless of heaven and earth!
"I'm not afraid!"
Boom!
Xie Tian roared for the third time. His whole body's strength suddenly erupted and his entire right arm stabbed into the mountain wall. The sword mountain that had been refined by the experts of the Sword Tomb for thousands of years was as soft as tofu in front of Xie Tian.
The three "I'm not afraid" expressed Xie Tian's natural fear, Xie Tian's acquired perseverance, and the courage of a frail young man!
Xie Tian was an inch above the ground for the second time. Looking at the stunned disciples of the Sword Tomb, Xie Tian grinned and disappeared, leaving only a long string of happy laughter from the bottom of his heart.
"He, he's crazy …"
"What is he laughing at?"
…
"You're asking the wrong question. You should ask what he was doing just now."
Third Elder, who had just landed, could not help but interrupt when he heard the disciples' discussion. Seeing that everyone was looking at him, he laughed out loud and sat cross-legged on the cushion. He raised his head and looked at Xie Tian, who was jumping around on the cliff.
"Don't just stand there, get ready to pick him up!"
Xie Tian was indeed jumping, moving horizontally and falling. Not long after, he moved to the side of the group of people climbing the mountain. The strong wind brought by his high speed caused three geniuses of the Chu Kingdom to fall down the mountain wall.
"Xie Tian, you definitely did it on purpose!"
"Don't even think about passing the test for interfering with other people's assessment!"
"Quickly stop, we can forgive you!"
…
Everyone's faces turned green with fear. If Xie Tian did this a few more times, they, who were already exhausted, would definitely be annihilated. Hence, they all yelled out sternly.
"Third Elder, this …"
How could the disciples not see the importance that the Third Elder placed on Xie Tian? However, Xie Tian's actions weren't very good, so they looked at the Third Elder with a difficult expression.
"One more incense stick!" The Third Elder lightly shouted, his cold voice entering everyone's ears.
"Damn it, there's still over 500 feet to pass. Let's go all out!"
The group had already climbed to 450 feet, and seeing that the time limit was almost up, they no longer had the mood to tangle with Xie Tian. They used all their strength to climb up.
"Haha, 800 feet!"
The pale Mu Liang let out a long roar, using the last bit of his strength to push himself off the mountain wall. Like an eagle soaring in the sky, he spread his arms wide, enjoying the boundless joy of being above everyone else.
"Xie Tian, I won, haha!"
Seeing that Xie Tian was still hanging on the 400 feet cliff, Mu Liang, who was passing by, threw an arrogant look at Xie Tian. He returned all the envy, jealousy, and hatred to Xie Tian through this look.
"From now on, it's your turn to be envious of me!"
Xie Tian sent Mu Liang down the mountain with his eyes, then looked up at the endless sword mountain and smiled, "One incense stick's time is enough."
In the next moment, the mirror-like mountain wall of the sword mountain turned into a boundless grassland.
On the grassland, there was an additional wild wolf.
