Lai Siyu didn't know that her behavior caused a sensation in Qingyun Sect. While others were still gritting their teeth and fighting the pressure, she was resting in the space.
The red dot representing her was approaching Gongsun Fei, but her speed was even faster than Gongsun Fei.
In the middle of the night, dark clouds covered the moon, but the square of Qingyun Gate was illuminated as bright as day by several hanging pearls.
The disciples of Qingyun Sect were enthusiastically discussing the ranking on the stone tablet. The sect leader and two elders also did not leave and kept an eye on the stone tablet.
"I didn't expect that there would be a girl who is even more powerful than the Gongsun family kid!"
"Let's wait and see. It's still early. Isn't there still the third level, 'Asking the Way'?"
The third level? It's just a decoration. If you can pass the second level, you can enter Qingyun Sect. Elder Sikong thought disapprovingly.
'Ask about the Tao'? These little brats don't know what the Tao is. Even those old guys who can't hide themselves may not know what the Tao is.
The two elders of Qingyun Sect were discussing in a low voice. Sect leader Tie Zhong did not respond, but he also had a proud look on his face. The seedlings participating in the selection this year were much better than those in previous years.
Erniu walked calmly along the way, neither hurried nor slow, as if he was enjoying the scenery, without any effort at all.
Many candidates had already exhausted all their strength and collapsed on the stone steps, gasping for breath, but they were unable to stand up again.
The relaxed body simply could not withstand the pressure exerted by the formation.
Gradually, some people who could not hold on any longer were teleported out by the formation. Their skin was broken, blood was oozing from their bodies, and they collapsed like mud.
Disciples from Qingyun Sect had already stepped forward, fed them the medicine, and cast spells to heal their wounds.
Lai Siyu had already climbed more than two thousand stairs. She cursed the person who built the stairs in her heart. Now, even though she was physically strong, she was a little overwhelmed and her speed had obviously slowed down.
Starting from the 2,000th step, the pressure increased significantly. Lai Siyu felt as if a mountain was pressing down on her body, and she could no longer straighten her back.
These jerk guys from Qingyun Sect didn't explain clearly what it takes to pass. There are 9999 stairs, and Tianming is sure that he won't be able to finish them.
Forget it, I'll just climb one more ladder at a time, Lai Siyu thought, doing her best and leaving the rest to fate.
Gongsun Fei was very proud. He had already climbed to the 1999th step. His eyes were bloodshot, the veins on his forehead were throbbing, and his handsome face became extremely hideous.
"The 2,000th ladder, I must climb the 2,000th ladder, Gongsun Yu, I want to show you who is the genius of the Gongsun family... Hahaha~"
Five years ago, at the age of twelve, Gongsun Fei stopped at the 1999th step of the Qingyun Ladder, breaking the Qingyun Sect's highest record of climbing the ladder.
Both were direct descendants of the Gongsun family, of similar age, and both possessed exceptional cultivation aptitude, yet Gongsun Yu consistently outshined him...
Gongsun Fei raised his legs, but they felt as if they weighed a thousand pounds, and it was extremely difficult to lift them.
He roared, his eyeballs bulged out of his sockets, and two streaks of blood flowed from his eyes. He looked hideous and terrifying, like a demon from hell.
Finally, both of his legs stepped onto the 2,000th stone step, but at this moment, there was a cracking sound from his legs, and his legs broke under the heavy pressure.
At this moment, a soft light enveloped him, and after flashing a few times, he was teleported away.
Looking at the crowd of people in the square, Gongsun Fei smiled weakly. As expected, he was the last one to be teleported out, and he was undoubtedly the champion this year.
But when he cast his gaze on the stone tablet, he couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood. A light spot named Lai Siyu on the stone tablet was moving slowly forward, and her position had reached more than 2,100 steps.
Gongsun Fei fainted unwillingly.
"Is she still human? She actually climbed over 2,100 stairs?"
"Look, another staircase has come in!"
"Our Qingyun Sect is about to gain another genius!"
"Judging from her name, she should be a junior sister, Lai Siyu. Remember this name. Once the selection is over, I'll go and try to build some connections..."
Two more elders appeared beside the leader of Qingyun Sect. One of them was a big and strong man who was extremely excited. He was determined to get this seedling into the body peak, and no one could snatch it from him!
Lai Siyu didn't know what kind of impulse she had caused, she just kept complaining that the daybreak was too slow.
The road ahead became increasingly difficult to walk on. Every time she climbed a step, she had to go back to the space to rest for a while and soak in the pool.
The pool of water in the mouth is magical. As long as Lai Siyu soaks in it, the injuries on his body will heal quickly, and even the bones crushed by the pressure of the Qingyun Ladder will heal quickly.
And each time the bone heals, it will undergo a slight change and become tougher.
Lai Siyu was overjoyed to discover this secret. She climbed higher and higher stairs again and again. Her bones were broken again and again, and the pool water healed her wounds again and again.
She constantly transformed her body in this self-torturing way. The pain was like a maggot on her tarsal bone, but it constantly stimulated her. Her mind kept flashing back to Lai Yougui's face as he forced her, the intentions of the Gongsun family members to slaughter her at will, and the evil man who made a hundred-year agreement with her and planted a forbidden barrier in her body...
If she is strong, she will not be controlled by others!
If she is strong, there will be a place for her to survive in this world!
She, Lai Siyu, wants to live well and enjoy the fun of life!
The desire to become stronger took root in Lai Siyu's heart like a seed. She knew that there was no limit to the world, and she was not pursuing the illusory dream of becoming a strong person. Instead, she hoped to become "strong" through her own efforts. However, this "strong" was relative. Now she only wanted to have the ability to protect herself.
Let those guys who are arrogant and think they are geniuses not bully her at will!
Let those who use her as a relative to gain benefits never dare to target her again!
"Two thousand one hundred and thirty-four stairs..."
"Two thousand one hundred and thirty-five stairs..."
"...Two thousand one hundred and sixty stairs..."
The sky was gradually turning white, and a red sun was leaping on the horizon. The Qingyun Sect disciples in the square shouted the numbers on the stone tablet in unison. Every time Lai Siyu climbed a step, he would get cheers from the Qingyun Sect disciples in the square.
Lai Siyu used up her last bit of strength to climb up the 2,201st step. All the bones in her body were broken, her blood vessels burst, and her muscles were almost crushed into mud.
Before she could return to the space, she fainted.
A flash of white light flashed across the square, and Lai Siyu appeared in front of everyone like a puddle of mud. The surroundings were extremely quiet. No one had expected that the person who climbed more than 2,000 stairs was actually a girl as thin as a piece of dry firewood.
