C773 Thousand Hammer and Hundred Refinement
Ah Ji couldn't help but roll his eyes. He thought to himself, "How the f * ck did I offend your sister?" However, he shook his head on the surface and said, "No."
"Strange." Ling Xuan scratched his head again, he wanted to scratch off all his hair.
Ah Ji did not say anything else and walked forward. The higher he climbed, the greater the pressure was. However, Ah Ji realized something. The pressure on the mountain could actually help him refine his body.
Although it had no effect on the cultivation level of the body refining technique, it could still help to temper the body, causing it to become even stronger and more condensed.
That's why Ah Ji wasn't in a hurry and chose to move forward at a steady pace, step by step. He wanted to ensure that every step he took would increase the pressure that would have a tempering effect on his body.
Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, two hours had passed.
The one who walked the fastest was Yagyuu Tang. His back was no longer visible. If one looked down from the top of the mountain, they would see that Yagyuu Tang had already walked past the mountainside and was not far from the top.
However, Yagyuu Tang seemed to be under a huge pressure every step he took. There was a layer of sweat on his forehead. His speed slowed down and he could no longer remain as calm as before.
Following closely behind, Liu Yiyi also encountered a bottleneck, and her speed also slowed down quite a bit. On the other hand, Tang Fann, who was always considered to be not very strong, had a relaxed face. It was unknown how he used it, but even his two retainers were almost unable to hold on, but he was completely fine.
Fortunately, Sword Hall's trial this time wasn't to keep everyone outside. After they climbed the mountainside, the pressure no longer increased, but the mountainside was like a natural moat. Once you stepped into it, you would have to bear an enormous pressure at all times.
Although this sort of pressure was constant, it was very difficult for one to adapt to it. Especially when one had to withstand such enormous pressure in order to proceed up the mountain. This required an enormous amount of physical strength.
Everyone mustered up their strength and headed towards the top of the mountain. However, when the last few people saw that three hours were almost up, they had only taken the normal route. Two of them shook their heads and gave up.
Not long after, Ah Ji and Ling Xuan also crossed the mountainside. Soon, Ling Xuan was unable to keep up with Ah Ji. Fortunately, Liu Tie and the others were already far ahead, so they were not worried that they would attack Ling Xuan again.
Ah Ji started to walk up by himself. However, after walking only a few steps, he frowned and muttered: "Why isn't the pressure increasing anymore?"
Although the pressure on his body was enormous, the vague blood-red scales appeared on the surface of his body, offsetting most of his power. As he continued upward, he discovered that the pressure was no longer increasing. In other words, the pressure on the mountain was no longer able to help him refine his body.
"Forget it, let's hurry to the top of the mountain." Ah Ji sighed and then, without hesitation, sped up his pace.
The reason why he slowed down before was to let the pressure be sufficient to help him temper his body. Now that the pressure no longer increased, he could no longer help him train his body anymore. Thus, Ah Ji's speed got faster and faster as he walked towards the top of the mountain.
Because there wasn't much time left.
Three hours were almost up.
In just a moment, Ah Ji had surpassed Tang Fann and the other two.
"This... Is he even human?! " When the golden cover saw this, its expression changed.
Tie Bu Shan's eyebrows were also twitching wildly. He could not help but silently curse in his heart. This was too abnormal! The further away someone went, the greater their physical consumption would be and the slower their pace would be.
This fellow, on the other hand, not only was his speed faster and faster, he seemed to be strolling in his own house as he walked leisurely around the mountain. This was absolutely not something a human should do.
"He really does deserve to be able to use four points!" Tang Fann took a deep breath and was even more determined to reconcile with Ah Ji.
If such a peerless genius couldn't be killed, then he absolutely couldn't become enemies with him. Turning the previous displeasure into friendship was the best choice.
Moreover, it wasn't as if there was some deep hatred between him and Ah Ji that couldn't be resolved. It was just a small conflict. At most, he would just contribute his Black Wood Dragon!
On the other side, Ah Ji's figure had already left Tang Fann and the rest far behind. In his line of sight, two figures appeared.
Xie Jing, the angry lion of the Xie Clan, Miss Jinli, and Yi Yi, the one on the Liu Family, were about the same. Enduring the enormous pressure, they grit their teeth and slowly climbed up.
Ah Ji appeared beside them within the time of two breaths.
"You …" Liu Yiyi frowned and was about to say something.
The angry lion, Xie Jing, narrowed his eyes as well.2
However, the two of them didn't expect that before they could finish speaking, Xie Jing wouldn't even be able to clearly see Ah Ji's face before Ah Ji had already walked past them, shaking them off.
"How is this possible?!" Liu Yi Yi Yi's expression changed and she couldn't help but shout out.
Although he didn't want to admit that he was inferior, Ah Ji was indeed very powerful. Not only had he broken the Myriad Swords Array in the first stage, he had even reached the fourth grade in the second stage.
Even someone as strong as Xie Jing had no choice but to lower his head and admit Ah Ji's strength.
This could no longer be described as a genius. This was simply inhuman, simply monstrous!
Ah Ji ignored them and quickly left them behind as he charged towards the top of the mountain.
Three hours passed in the blink of an eye.
Yagyuu Tang arrived at the last ten steps before the summit. He already saw Old Taoist sitting cross-legged at the top of the mountain, but the time was already up. Strictly speaking, no one could reach the summit within the prescribed time.
It was because even Yagyuu Tang, who was in the first place, required a huge amount of power and time to step out and reach a whole new level.
His entire spirit was emitting a blood-red steam. It was the burning of his blood energy. He was already trying his best to climb, but the last few steps were like a natural moat that was difficult for him to cross.
"Nineteen eighty-seven... Three, two, eh? " Although Yagyuu Tang was unable to go up at the set time, but from his point of view, he was first. This Sword Hall was not enough to disperse everyone, so he relaxed, and started to count down in his heart.
However, just as he chanted the third chant, a figure appeared behind him. He didn't notice this figure at that time, but when he chanted the third chant, the figure actually leaped past him.
How is this possible?! Yagyuu Tang's expression changed and became gloomy. He had to pay a huge price for every step he took, but there was actually someone who could surpass him so easily?
