Ning Liu chuckled and patted her head, saying:
"You should focus on figuring out how to raise your soul power to level 60 first. Don't forget, this is only your first test. You haven't even met the requirements of the first test, yet you want to climb someone else's ladder?"
Ning Rongrong immediately deflated like a punctured balloon, pouting and muttering softly, "Okay, okay..."
Just as everyone was having different thoughts, the situation on the steps finally changed.
The moment Xiao Wu stepped onto the fiftieth step, her body swayed violently, and she almost fell to her knees under the weight.
"Splash! Splash!"
Her heart was pounding so hard, like a drumbeat, that she could hear it clearly herself.
Sweat, like beads from a broken string, rolled down her smooth forehead, instantly soaking the hair at her temples.
Her pretty face flushed red, and her breathing became rapid.
The omnipresent pressure seemed to have nearly doubled at that moment.
She felt as if she were carrying an invisible mountain on her back!
For every second that it stays there, the weight of the mountain increases by one unit.
Xiao Wu gritted her teeth and pushed her soul power to its limit. The pink halo flickered violently, barely resisting the terrifying divine light that could crush steel into powder.
She stood on the fiftieth step, her legs feeling as heavy as lead, unable to take another step for a long time.
"Has it reached its limit?"
Everyone's hearts were gripped once again.
Xu Jiushi's brows furrowed into a deep frown as he estimated in a low voice:
"Fifty steps, multiplied by three times the pressure... This pressure is probably no less than the force I felt on the ninety-fifth or even the hundredth step!"
"A five-ring Soul King who has reached this point is already an absolute monster."
The Poisonous Lady also put away her usual charm, her tone tinged with a hint of amazement.
"If it were an ordinary Soul King, he would probably have been crushed by the dozen or so steps at most."
Dugu Bo stroked his beard, his eyes flashing:
"I estimate that she can only hold on for another two or three levels at most before reaching her limit. The Nine Trials of the Sea God are indeed not easy to pass."
Xiao Wu, on the steps, naturally couldn't hear the crowd's chatter.
At this moment, all that remained in her world was the endless pressure and the whistling wind in her ears.
So heavy...
It's so heavy...
My body felt like it was being torn apart.
Xiao Wu's consciousness began to blur, and the scene before her eyes began to blur.
She raised her head and strained to look up. The goal of those 333 steps seemed so distant and unattainable at that moment!
It's like an insurmountable chasm between heaven and earth!
A deep sense of powerlessness welled up from the bottom of my heart.
Or... should we just leave it at that?
Getting this far is already quite an achievement, isn't it?
A disheartening thought, like the whisper of a devil, quietly took root in her heart.
Her will began to waver under unimaginable pressure.
