Swoosh!
The crown prince, Ji Feng, didn't wait any further and flew on the staircase with his golden wings.
"Sigh, when can I have wings like that?"
"Stop dreaming! Such martial techniques are rare and even if you have one, it needs a lot of ti to master without any guidance."
Two disciples spoke to each other with envy in their eyes. Not only they but others too hoped for flying martial techniques. However, they could only dream, as such martial arts were monopolized by top powers.
Furthermore, they had to be extraordinary geniuses if they really wanted to fly in the Qi-refining realm or Qi-gathering realm.
As soon as Crown Prince Ji Feng decided to ascend the staircase, a few disciples who were also waiting made the sa decision.
Now only Ye Chen remained in the skies, looking at the fights below, where many disciples started to get eliminated.
Of course, many climbed back again for revenge but a lot of them were injured seriously and could not even recover in a day.
So, their efforts were all useless, especially at the strength and agility trials, where they needed to stay in good condition.
Just like this, the number of disciples on the staircase dropped below eight hundred and it continued to drop further as many disciples had an idea of eliminating others from trial so there would be fewer people to compete with.
So also took advantage of this and tried to attack geniuses; even the little girl Lin Xian'er was attacked by a jealous female disciple. Fortunately, Liu Jiarong was with her; if not, the little girl would have had to start over again even if she didn't get seriously injured.
'Let's see how they will deal with such things,' Ye Chen smiled as he saw a few figures closing in on Wang Yiyi and them.
…
"Ugh, Sister Lan Ming, even you are having it easier!" Wang Yiyi complained with a tearful look as she saw Lan Ming and them ascending without any problems.
Li i, after all, had a yin physique, so the fire arrows coming towards her were not threatening. The sa could be said for Su Ying, as her reaction speed was insane because of her thunder physique.
As for Lan Ming, she had a mutated fire spiritual root and even had strange characters from the fire crystal so she was also having it easy as she could sense where the fire arrow would materialize. Not to ntion her fire resistance had also increased so these fire arrows were nothing to her.
But to Wang Yiyi, who had nothing special except her spiritual root, she felt like walking on fire as she had to dodge every second. She could deflect the arrows, but it would use her spiritual Qi and this was a bad thing, as there were still more than nine thousand and seven hundred steps to climb.
"Yiyi, just be calm and dodge; there is nothing too difficult about this," Lan Ming replied with assurance.
The 'Heavens Staircase' trial, after all, was designed for Qi-refining cultivators. Although soone without talent would have a hard ti, this doesn't an it was impossible to reach the top as long as they persisted.
Not to ntion Wang Yiyi, who could be considered a genius with her low-tier, heaven-grade spiritual root. It would be a little hard for her but still, she was having an easy ti with more than ninety percent of the disciples down there.
Bang! Boom! Bang!
Just as Lan Ming and Wang Yiyi were talking, fierce sounds of explosions ca from their back.
Looking behind, they found Zhu Dong approaching them with a fla shield blocking all the fire arrows automatically.
He was, after all, from the Fla Dragon Sect; how could he not have any ans to deal with flas passively?
However, no one was happy about this, especially Li i and them, who frowned in displeasure.
They were, after all, ascending before anyone and facing the unknown, which was a lot harder than those who were behind them and knew what was up ahead. There was no way they would feel happy after seeing soone who is ascending with speed because of their efforts.
But there was nothing they could do except watch Zhu Dong and a few others close up on them.
It didn't take too long, and Zhu Dong soon caught up with Wang Yiyi.
"Young Miss, it looks like you are having a hard ti," he chuckled, rubbing the sore spot of the little girl.
"You! Humph! I am at least better than a shitty guy like you who does nothing but rely on the hard work of others," Wang Yiyi cursed angrily.
Li i and others were, after all, taking turns on each unknown step as Su Ying explained; this will increase their ntal state and will be helpful in critical conditions.
So, Wang Yiyi did wander into unknown steps, facing new tricks or increased difficulty; however, she was after all a little girl and not as talented as others so Li i and others decided to let her do this only in the starting phase of new trials, which were not too difficult.
Although the little girl complained about this in the end, she could only follow them, as they didn't allow her to go forward. She even fell behind a few steps as the difficulty increased, which resulted in Zhu Dong mocking her.
"Hehe! Relying on the hard work of others? When did I do this? Don't you see I am climbing here with my own ability?" Zhu Dong didn't care about her words and replied with a laugh.
This only made the little girl's anger rise further.
"If you have ability, then go and run ahead; if you can't, then you are an asshole!" Wang Yiyi cursed without any hint of sha as if she were not a female but a man.
This made Li i and others speechless.
As for Zhu Dong, his face was dark. He didn't expect the little girl to really have a sharp tongue.
"Humph! Little girl, you should control your vicious mouth; don't forget there are people whom you can't offend!" He spoke angrily and brandished his sword.
There was only one reason he ca here and that was to provoke Li i and them. Of course he won't be idiotic enough to attack, as he feared Ye Chen's strength; nevertheless, as long as he can anger them, there is a chance they will be injured by the trial, in which case he will have no responsibility.
Even if Ye Chen ca after him because of this, he still has his escape techniques like Qin Lan so unless Ye Chen wanted to give up on the inheritance trial, he wouldn't chase after him.
It was a very good plan but a pity Ye Chen saw through this and treated him as air. He was, after all, no challenge to Li i and them, even for the little girl Wang Yiyi.
The only one who could make trouble for them was the unknown male disciple in a mask, as well as a few others behind him.
It didn't take too long and just as Zhu Dong brandished his sword, a few figures closed upon them.
Seeing this, Zhu Dong frowned; anwhile, the little girl had to climb on the next step as a force started to push her back.
"Get him!" The male disciple with a mask commanded and strangely enough, a few disciples who were from different sects actually listened to him and attacked Zhu Dong.
"You! Who the hell are you? Why are you attacking ? Don't you know I am from Fla Dragon Sect?" Zhu Dong shouted furiously as he waved his sword.
He didn't use any spiritual Qi or martial art techniques because he was worried about the upcoming challenges; it would be bad if he needed to use his spiritual Qi there. Although he can recover by using pills, it would require so ti, and he couldn't have that on the stairs, as a force would push him back after a few breaths, wasting the effects of the pills.
Clang!
The male disciples didn't answer his questions and continued to attack him while dodging the fire arrows.
Watching the sudden fight at the top, many disciples were baffled and soon their expressions changed.
…
"Huff! Looks like sister-in-laws are in trouble." Fatty Li Zhenyuan muttered with a heavy pant and increased his speed of climbing.
After him followed the Buddhist disciples with cold looks.
…
"Heretical sects or fallen sects? Which one are they?" The crown prince, Ji Feng, frowned as he saw the sudden fight.
Both sides didn't use any martial art techniques so there was no way to figure out which side they were from.
Just as he was thinking this, his expression changed drastically. Glancing back, he witnessed hundreds of disciples, clad in black and red attire, suddenly erge from the forest.
However, their target was not the disciples on the ground but Ye Chen, who was in the air.
"Shoot now!" A male disciple in a red outfit commanded.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
In that instant countless cursed arrows shot into the air, aiming at Ye Chen, and it was also at this mont that the male disciples who were fighting with Zhu Dong gave up attacking him and went after Li i and others with full strength.
