The ninth stone step!
No one was surprised, as if they had expected it.
"It looks like the ninth level is not her limit. Zhou Shaoyu's record will be broken by her," Yuchi Zhenjie, who was beside Tang Yuewu, whispered.
Tang Zhenghe also nodded, but his eyes stopped on Zhou Yang.
Zhou Yang was still in last place. Even Ye Wu was two steps ahead of Zhou Yang.
"Husband, it looks like I guessed right. Zhou Yang's awakening was forced, and his cultivation was probably increased by pills. Otherwise, how could he still be at the fourth stone step? His willpower is obviously not strong enough," Ye Xin said in Zhou Zhantian's ear.
"Third sister, you can't say that. Climbing the flag platform is not about who is faster, but who is faster. Zhou Yang is indeed lagging behind, but that doesn't mean he will always be behind," First Madam said with a smile.
No one said anything. Zhou Zhantian just smiled.
Soon, the time for a stick of incense had passed. Ye Zhining was still at the ninth stone step, while Zhou Zitao stood up from the seventh stone step.
"Zhou Yang, I will show you the difference between us."
Zhou Zitao looked back at Zhou Yang, then lifted his foot and stepped on the eighth stone step.
The crowd was startled, and with a look of expectation, Zhou Zitao's other foot finally stepped on the eighth stone step.
"Good." Ye Xin and Ye Taishan shouted almost at the same time. Zhou Zitao was a disciple of the Ye family, and Ye Zhining was a direct descendant of the Ye family. In this assessment, the Ye family would take the top three.
"Not bad, you are a talent!" Zhou Zhantian nodded. This was the first time he praised someone since he sat here.
Zhou Zitao was excited when he heard Zhou Zhantian's praise. His eyes focused on the ninth stone step.
He wanted to challenge the ninth stone step.
Although this step was small, it was indeed the difference between geniuses and talents.
Zhou Zitao lifted his foot and stepped on the ninth stone step without any rest.
"Bang!"
Unfortunately, as soon as he stepped on the ninth stone step, Zhou Zitao was blasted off the stage by the huge pressure of the flag.
"I was careless."
Zhou Zitao secretly regretted it. If he had taken a break earlier, it might not have been impossible.
"Tao Er, you're already very good. You're definitely second in this match. Step down first." Ye Xin looked at Zhou Zitao and said proudly.
Zhou Zitao nodded and did not retreat. He stood below the flag platform and looked up. After a while, he suddenly smiled and said, "Zhou Yang, aren't you very capable? Why are you still at the fourth step? You are not even as good as my cousin Ye Wu. Did you really eat pills to improve?"
"Haha …" The disciples of the Ye Clan all burst into laughter.
However, the laughter soon stopped. Zhou Yang finally stood up from the fourth stone step. Then, he stepped on the fifth step, followed by the other.
The fifth stone step.
Zhou Zitao's expression did not look good. He could not help but look at Ye Wu and say, "Cousin Ye Wu, Zhou Yang is about to catch up. As third place, you should at least leave him two levels behind. Otherwise, how can you be worthy of your family's support?"
Ye Wu was startled. He turned his head to look at Zhou Yang, then stood up. "Zhou Yang, I'm going to leave you two stone steps behind, and let all …"
Before he finished speaking, he saw that Zhou Yang didn't even sit down. Instead, he walked straight up. In an instant, he had already reached the sixth stone step and was on the same level as Ye Wu.
"You … you …"
Ye Wu was speechless. He had no time to think and immediately stepped onto the seventh stone step.
Buzz …
However, after the other foot came up, Ye Wu felt his whole body tremble. His face was as white as snow, but fortunately, he finally steadied his body.
The seventh stone step, he had reached it.
Hua …
Suddenly, there was an uproar below. Ye Wu revealed a hint of a smile. His heart was incomparably happy. He thought to himself that this time, he could be considered to have amazed the world with a single brilliant feat. However, immediately after, he felt something was wrong. He turned his head and saw Zhou Yang standing beside him with a smile. He was also on the seventh stone step.
"How is this possible? How can he be so fast?"
Ye Wu finally understood that the gasps below were not because of him, but because of Zhou Yang.
"If even you can come up, if I can't, wouldn't that be a joke?"
Zhou Yang glanced at Ye Wu, then turned his head to look up. After sitting below for so long, he had basically gotten used to the murderous aura of the soldiers around him. The only resistance came from the battle flag above.
"He … he can't be thinking of going up to the eighth stone step, right?" The young princess Tang Yuewu said in shock.
"Thinking and succeeding are two different things," Yuchi Zhenjie said with a smile.
"Zhou Yang, I don't believe you can really set foot on the eighth stone step like me," Zhou Zitao bellowed from below.
Zhou Yang smiled and did not turn his head. He only said calmly, "You're right. I'm different from you."
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Yang lifted one foot and set foot on the eighth stone step. The other foot followed closely.
Almost without any mishaps, he reached the eighth stone step.
Below the stage, there was complete silence. Even Zhou Zitao was shocked speechless.
"If you can do it, so can I." Seeing that Zhou Yang was in the lead, Ye Wu immediately clenched his teeth and set foot on the eighth stone step. However, before the tip of his foot touched the ground, he was blown away by a huge pressure. After falling to the ground, he spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Ye Wu, seventh stone step, ranked fourth," Guo Zhanxiong shouted expressionlessly.
Fourth, fourth …
Zhou Zitao glanced at Ye Wu. Right now, Ye Wu was ranked fourth. He and Zhou Yang could be considered to be tied for second place. However, if Zhou Yang stopped at the eighth stone step, then he would definitely be in second place, because he had reached the eighth stone step earlier than Zhou Yang.
"I told you, I'm different from you."
At this moment, Zhou Yang turned his head and looked at Zhou Zitao. Zhou Zitao suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart. However, this feeling only lasted for a second before it became a reality.
Zhou Yang had stepped on the ninth stone step!
"Good!"
This time, it was not Ye Xin who shouted, but First Madam. At the same time, Tang Zhenghe, Lady Jiu, and the others all nodded in agreement.
"Seventh Brother is very good." Zhou Zhantian nodded, a look of approval flashing in his eyes.
"What a pity, what a pity," Xu Cangshan shouted, shaking his head and smiling insincerely.
Everyone knew what Xu Cangshan was talking about. It was none other than Zhou Yang's Star Soul.
"Brother Xu is right. Although Zhou Yang's willpower is amazing, he is not talented enough. If he really forced his Star Soul to awaken, the ninth level of the Saturn Realm would be his limit," Elder Du said, stroking his beard.
"Yes, that's right. So what if he is stronger than me in this round? If his Star Soul is not enough, everything is just empty talk. Wait until the third round and see how I teach you a lesson." Zhou Zitao clenched his fists tightly and gritted his teeth in hatred.
