"It's him?!!"
Xiao Yu stumbled and fell to the ground. His face was filled with shock as he looked at Lin Tian, who had turned around and continued walking.
He didn't expect that the man who surpassed him was the guy who "overestimated himself" in his heart.
"How is this possible???"
Xiao Yu murmured. His eyes were filled with disbelief.
He couldn't believe that all of this was real.
But the truth was right in front of him. He had no choice but to believe it.
It wasn't just Xiao Yu. The other prodigies in front of him all had looks of disbelief on their faces when they saw Lin Tian casually pass by them. They all stopped in their tracks and forgot to move forward.
At the edge of the clouds, the Kirin Saint Son's veins were bulging. He couldn't take another step forward. After trying a few times, he looked at the two figures in front of him. The distance between them was not small. He couldn't help but sigh. "I'm reaching my limit …"
8,627 steps. This was the result of the Kirin Saint Son's best effort.
Although it was a pity that he couldn't reach the 9,000th step, the Kirin Saint Son was still quite satisfied with his current result.
After all, he only expected to reach the 8,000th step.
"I wonder how that guy is now …"
The Kirin Saint Son stopped. Like Xiao Yu, he also remembered his bet with Lin Tian. He wanted to look back to see if Lin Tian followed him.
But in the blink of an eye, the Kirin Saint Son couldn't help but smile.
This was more than 8,000 steps. If he wanted to appear in his sight, he would have to reach at least 7,000 steps.
Could that Lin Tian have this ability?
Anyway, the Kirin Saint Son didn't believe it from the bottom of his heart.
However, he still turned around to see who else was following behind him.
At this moment, a familiar face appeared in front of him.
And it was close at hand.
"Ah!"
Looking at Lin Tian's smiling face, the Kirin Saint Son couldn't help but exclaim. He subconsciously took a step back. As a result, he was repelled by the Daoist Rhyme of the next step. He almost flew out of the mountain. He stumbled and fell at Lin Tian's feet.
"What? Are you going to kneel and beg for mercy now? "
Lin Tian looked at the Kirin Saint Son who was lying at his feet. Lin Tian said with a smile that was not a smile.
Hearing this, the Kirin Saint Son's face stiffened, and his eyes were incomparably gloomy. He clenched his fists and climbed up.
Although he clearly knew that he had lost, he still refused to admit it. Staring at Lin Tian, he clenched his teeth and said, "Humph, don't be complacent too early. At most, you've only caught up with me. You haven't won yet."
After saying that, he gritted his teeth and walked toward the stairs in front of him.
Even if that enormous pressure made him feel as if his entire body was about to explode, the Kirin Saint Son still gritted his teeth and moved forward.
Lin Tian wasn't in a hurry, so he simply followed behind him.
The Kirin Saint Son desperately took a step forward, and Ye Futian calmly followed him.
"Is this guy a monster?"
The Kirin Saint Son's face was ashen. He couldn't help but look back at Lin Tian with bloodshot eyes.
"How about it, do you want me to let you walk for another four hours?"
Lin Tian looked at the Kirin Saint Son and said with some playfulness.
"No need, I … I admit defeat!"
Although the Qilin Saint Son was very unwilling and unconvinced in his heart, he still said those words.
This was because he knew that it was impossible for him to win against Lin Tian.
However …
"But you still haven't won!"
The Kirin Saint Son continued, "At the foot of the mountain, you said that you wanted to reach the top."
He was going to renege on the bet …
Lin Tian narrowed his eyes and looked at the Kirin Saint Son. Then, he said slowly, "This is not within the scope of our bet."
"But we only started the competition because of this."
The Kirin Saint Son argued with sophistry, trying to regain some face.
At this moment, he had already discovered that Lin Tian was very strange.
But he still didn't think that Lin Tian could reach the top.
After all, that wasn't something that an ordinary person could do.
At least, in the past tens of thousands of years, no one had reached the top of this mountain.
This was because, according to the legends, only Great Emperors or heavenly geniuses with the potential to become a Great Emperor could reach that place.
Currently, in the entire Heaven Spirit World, there hadn't been such a character for tens of thousands of years.
Lin Tian saw through the Kirin Saint Son's thoughts with a glance and shook his head mockingly. Then, he said, "If that's the case, then I'll let you die convinced today …"
With that, Lin Tian began to move.
One foot, one step.
In just an instant, he had taken several steps.
The steps that were filled with terrifying dao runes seemed to have become ordinary steps when it came to him. There was no obstruction at all.
This was the Kirin Saint Son's first time seeing Lin Tian actually climb the steps. He couldn't help but be shocked as his mouth was agape.
At this moment, a very terrifying thought suddenly appeared in his mind.
"This guy, he can't really reach the top, right?"
After reaching the eight thousandth step, each step was a hurdle that was incomparably difficult.
Feng Qing 'er and Young Noble Daolin widened the gap between them and the Kirin Saint Son, but in reality, they weren't that far apart.
Thus, they were aware of the commotion behind them.
The two subconsciously turned back to look.
They saw a white-clothed young man, his face not red and his heart not skipping a beat. He was calm and collected as he leisurely chased after them. Then, he indifferently walked past them and headed towards the clouds.
"This …"
Young Noble Daolin gritted his teeth and reached the 8,900th step. He and Feng Qing 'er, who had just reached the 9,000th step, couldn't help but glance at each other. Their eyes were full of shock and disbelief.
No one could have thought that Lin Tian could actually walk until here.
Moreover, it seemed that there was no difference between walking on the 9,000th step and walking on the 1,000th step.
Not long after, Lin Tian's figure disappeared into the clouds.
"Is he really going to reach the top?"
Feng Qing 'er stared at the disappearing figure in shock. She thought back to what she had said at the foot of the mountain and the disdain in her heart. She could not help but feel a burning pain on her face, as if she had been slapped in the face.
Young Noble Daolin's expression was also stiff.
All kinds of complicated emotions welled up in his heart.
The 9,000th step was right in front of him. As long as he could reach it, he would be famous in the world. However, he had no intention of doing so.
He knew that no matter how dazzling he was today, he would only serve as a foil to the youth in white.
After all, ascending the ten thousand steps to the heavens wasn't a joke.
It was a fact that truly existed.
There were records in the Heaven Spirit World.
Among them, the most famous was Great Emperor Daolin from Daolin City.
He had reached the top of this mountain when he was young.
