"Stomp!"
Xiao Yan's feet heavily stomped on the ground. His body suddenly shot upward. In the blink of an eye, he had already stepped onto the first stone platform.
When Xiao Yan stepped onto the stone platform, an invisible pressure suddenly descended from above his head. At the same time, the chain that was connected to the second stone platform was wrapped by a cream-white, gentle glow that swiftly spread upward.
However, before the pressure above Xiao Yan's head descended, Xiao Yan's legs once again exerted force and his body shot out. Soon, he reached the second and third stone platforms and rushed to the highest point of the stone platforms without stopping.
Behind him, Shui Miao panted for a moment before following close behind, unwilling to be outdone. These two people, one in front and one behind, were equally matched in terms of speed. Within a short moment, they had already ascended to the top thirty stone platforms. Xiao Yan, on the other hand, was still three steps ahead of Shui Miao.
In comparison, Xiao Yan was not worried. Just relying on speed alone was useless if one wanted to climb this hundred step stone platform. Even though Xiao Yan's physical body was strong, the pressure on the stone platform would become increasingly frightening the higher he climbed. It was impossible for him to endure until the end by relying on his physical body's strength. Back then, he had relied on a willpower that exceeded an ordinary person in order to finally ascend to the 54th step.
Even now, Shui Miao was not completely confident that he could reach the 90th step, let alone the 100th step.
Although Xiao Yan's battle strength was extraordinary and his strength could not be underestimated, in the previous battle, Shui Miao admitted that he could not have defeated him so easily if Xiao Yan had not relied on his ghostly speed and cunning.
On this stone platform, one could not rely on scheming to reach the peak. Everything still depended on one's strength!
The two of them, one at the front and one at the back, gradually showed a difference in their speed after reaching the 50th stone platform.
At the 50th step, Shui Miao could clearly feel some pressure. At different heights, the pressure he faced was different. He could no longer be as calm as before.
On the other hand, after reaching the 50th step, Xiao Yan did not slow down at all. When Shui Miao reached the 50th step, the former was only approaching the 60th stone platform. Knowing the consequences of reaching the 67th step, Xiao Yan heaved a sigh of relief.
Shui Miao felt extremely surprised in his heart when he saw this scene. It was unexpected that the gap between him and Xiao Yan had become so obvious at this moment.
At the same time, Shui Miao's heart also felt an unwillingness. All he could do was to use all his strength. After inhaling a deep breath of air, his body once again shot out explosively. He chased after Xiao Yan without stopping.
The gap between the two of them swiftly shrunk. By the time they reached the seventieth level, the distance between Xiao Yan and Shui Miao was merely separated by a stone platform.
"Seventy-two …"
"Seventy-three …"
"Seventy-four!"
However, by the time Shui Miao saw Xiao Yan ascend the seventy-seventh stone platform, he already felt that his strength was lacking. His entire body was drenched in perspiration. The long hair that was tied behind his back was also in a mess. His breathing was long and rough. The Dou Qi within his body was somewhat unable to keep up, perhaps due to the exhaustion from the battle earlier.
"Damn it! I can't stop here. I definitely can't! "
After cursing in his heart, Shui Miao slowly straightened his body. He gathered all the strength in his body and his feet heavily stepped on the edge of the stone platform. He used all his strength to charge forward once again.
Unfortunately, by the time Shui Miao reached the 80th step with all his strength and was about to reach the 81st step, his body finally lost all its strength. His center of gravity was no longer under his control. He completely lost all his strength in the air as he charged toward the 81st step. His body immediately fell down uncontrollably.
The appearance of this scene caused the expressions of the students in the arena below to change drastically. The surrounding instructors also hurriedly moved and arrived below the statue, preparing to catch the falling Shui Miao.
However, it was also at this moment that the falling Shui Miao was suddenly grabbed by a hand and forcefully lifted up. Soon after, his body swiftly charged up to the eighty-third level under the guidance of this force.
When he focused his gaze, he realized that Xiao Yan had brought him here.
"Why did you …"
"I can't just watch you fall. Didn't you say that you want to defeat me? Then let's talk after we reach the 100th step."
Before the words from Shui Miao's mouth sounded, Xiao Yan smiled and interrupted him with a sentence.
Shui Miao raised his head in surprise, only to see that the latter's face was covered in perspiration. In his heart, he knew that the current Xiao Yan did not have much strength left.
"Don't tell me that you want to bring me up? You don't have much strength left."
"Hee hee, you can dream on. Even if I bring you up, I'm afraid that you won't be willing."
With a teasing smile, Xiao Yan randomly tossed a jade bottle to Shui Miao. There were a few rank 4 medicinal pills within it.
"Use this to recover your Dou Qi first. As for me, I'll be going up first."
After speaking, Xiao Yan ignored Shui Miao. A thought passed through his mind and a vast and mighty Spiritual Strength immediately swept out from between his brows. At the same time, the remaining Dou Qi in his body was completely agglomerated without any hesitation. Subsequently, he once again shot high into the air with a 'bang' in front of Shui Miao's shocked eyes.
"Four … Rank 4 Spiritual Strength. Don't tell me that he is …"
Thinking of a certain possibility, the expression on Shui Miao's face once again became dull. He really did not dare to imagine that Xiao Yan actually had such an identity. If that was really the case, it was likely that he would be completely defeated in this battle!
At the same time, Xiao Yan's body once again shot up explosively, heading straight for the top of the statue.
With the support of his Spiritual Strength, the exhaustion from earlier was temporarily made up for. Additionally, his remaining Dou Qi and physical strength were completely unleashed. At this moment, Xiao Yan was like a wild beast that had gone crazy. His actions were wild as he charged straight up into the clouds!
Very quickly, Xiao Yan had already arrived at the ninetieth level of the stone platform. He was only ten steps away from the top of the statue.
A stern expression surfaced in Xiao Yan's eyes as he eyed the cloud layer not far above his head. All the strength in his body was gathered on his legs. His body began to charge upward in an even crazier manner. He did not hold back at all.
With the speed of one step at a time, Xiao Yan only took one step at a time on each stone platform. In the span of a few breaths, his body had already appeared on the ninety-ninth stone platform. At this moment, Xiao Yan had already seen the pavilion at the top of the statue.
There were two figures standing side by side there. One of them was Hai Mochen. At the same time, this pavilion was also the last stone platform.
"Ta!"
