Chapter 68: Persevere, persevere!! (9th update!)

  The square was devoid of any murmur, and at this moment, everyone was staring at the nine statues, their eyes fixed on the only name that had not turned gray amidst the heavy breathing.

  Mo Su, just five ranks away from first place!!

  At this moment, the first leaf of hope also slowly opened its eyes with the help of Shi Hai and others' breath control. There were still blood threads in his eyes, staring at the ranking on the statue, and his expression was complex.

  Shi Hai bowed his head beside Ye Wang, seemingly saying something, but Ye Wang didn't respond at all, as if he hadn't heard, and kept staring at the ranking on the stone pedestal with unblinking eyes.

  Shi Hai furrowed his brow, let out a quiet sigh, and turned to leave.

  "I am Ye Wang... I will never lose!! And I won't even bother with some small actions!" Ye Wang clenched his fists, at this moment, he was no longer that arrogant young master, but an ordinary person who had exhausted all his strength and finally reached the 905th step, only to be injured and leave. The tension in his heart was stronger than anyone else's here by countless times. However, even so, he still had his pride, his dignity, and towards Shi Hai's proposal, he felt it was a humiliation!

  In the midst of silence, the breathing sounds of the crowd from this place became increasingly clear, especially those who had initially regarded Su Ming as a pleasure, now their minds were blank, leaving only an unbelievable shock.

  They witnessed a miracle, they saw a rise, and they were shocked by the madness! Unprecedented, there was such a person who stepped from last place to the top!

  There is someone who has surpassed Wu Sen, Bi Su, and Chen Chong, and even Ye Wang was forced to leave the Wind Pavilion Mountain, making it now belong only to one person, Mo Su!

  Those who entered the top fifty of the Yangyang circle are now also a silent silence, they silently looked at the nine sculptures of Mo Su, the complexity in their expressions, envy, jealousy, expectation and so on, all revealed without doubt.

  As for the leaders of various tribes, it is also the case now, without any difference. The Mo Su in their eyes has already reached a very high position in their hearts. Such a person will inevitably cause a sensation after returning.

  Too many people want to know who this person is... what he looks like... but the previous Su Ming was just too ordinary, and before the trial, hardly anyone noticed his existence.

  Even that big man who had pulled him to visit the Zhen Chong together before, was now also nervously looking at the name on the carving, with excitement and anticipation in his eyes.

  There was only one old man with a pointed mouth and cheek, standing in the crowd at this moment, with a shocked face. He was certain that he would be the first to see his opponent every time someone gave up, but now, when all the participants who had gone out of Mo Su returned to the square, he found that among these people, there was no little guy he had found first before.

  "Can't be......" muttered to himself, staring at the two characters "Mo Su" on the statue, still somewhat unbelievable.

  "Could it be... really him?!"

  In a distant corner, Ah Gong Mo San and Feng Quan Jing Nan stood together in silence, gazing at the statue. Mo San's expression seemed normal, but his heart was deeply shaken.

  As for Jing Nan, he had witnessed Su Ming's rise to power from the very beginning. At this moment, his expression was one of shock and he couldn't hide it no matter what. He never could have imagined that Su Ming, who had previously been in his eyes like an ant, not being taken seriously, and even felt lucky if he could enter the top fifty, would time and again exceed his expectations, giving him surprise after surprise, and now, even shock.

  As for Su Ming's origin, Jing Nan's heart was extremely heavy, and Mo Sang's words yesterday seemed to echo in his mind again, making him even more hesitant.

  After a long, long time, when the crowd on the square had not shown any impatience and were all waiting, when the light emerged from the distant horizon, when dawn broke, Su Ming stood on the 900th step of the stairs, opened his eyes, and there was only one blood line on his body. As his eyes opened, that blood line disappeared.

  He looked up at the mountain top in the bright light, but unfortunately it was shrouded in fog, not as open as it was at night... Su Ming fell silent for a moment, picked up the token in his hand and glanced at it.

  "Nine hundred and five..." Su Ming muttered.

  "Since I've come this far... then I'll just go all out and compare with him!!" Su Ming suddenly lifted his head, his eyes revealing a resolute glint. Taking a deep breath of the cool morning air, Su Ming raised his foot and strode towards the 901 steps.

  But like today, without moonlight, the pressure Su Ming felt came directly, fortunately, this pressure decreased a lot with the arrival of dawn, in comparison, it was not much different from what Su Ming felt in the deep night.

  Even so, this is above the 900th floor, and here is infinitely close to the mountain's peak. The oppressive force that exists here is strong enough to shatter a person's life!

  Even a single step in this place is absolutely comparable to tens or even hundreds of steps below!

  Su Ming's right foot, in the instant it fell, his body violently shook, one hundred and fifty-six blood lines suddenly appeared, surrounding his body while madly resisting the overwhelming pressure that came crashing down.

  Su Ming, move!!

  At this moment, the people who had been waiting silently in the square below for a long time seemed to have burst out after suppressing their emotions for a long time. With Su Ming's movement, they suddenly rose up with a loud noise!

  901!!

  "He walked all the way to 901!!"

  Innumerable eyes suddenly converged on the only name among the nine statues that had not turned gray. At this moment, they forgot everything; in their eyes and minds, there was only this one line of names that had not faded away.

  He took a deep breath, his eyes fixed intently on the scene before him. This moment was, in his view, the absolute climax of this trial, even more intense than all previous ones. He didn't want to miss a single detail.

  Bisu's fists were clenched tightly, the cold light in his eyes grew thicker, and the jealousy contained within seemed to have transformed into a thick murderous aura. Along with the murderous intent, there was also the patriarch of the Black Mountain clan, who stared at the two characters "Mo Su" on the stone statue, his expression as gloomy as an unmelting ice.

  902!!

  At the moment when the number of steps behind Mo Su's name became nine hundred and two, all the people on this square who were staring at him seemed to have their hearts jump suddenly.

  It was as if Su Ming's footstep not only stepped on the mountain stairs, but also on the hearts of the people here. This scene is extremely rare and can explain how important Su Ming is in the eyes of the people here today. It can be seen that his every move has already affected the hearts of all the people here!

  In the past, this was Ye Wang's exclusive glory and pride, but at this moment, Ye Wang became a bystander, sitting not far away, his mood also changed with Su Mingjie's footsteps, suddenly jumping up.

  This feeling made him feel very strange, it... left a deep impression on his heart!

  "903! 903!! Just two steps away from catching up with Ye Wang, just three steps away from surpassing Ye Wang and becoming the first!"

  "Can he be the first..."

  The old woman from the Wulong Department had her pupils constricted, and her breathing was slightly rapid. The white spirit beside her was no longer dazed, but instead looked up at the name "Mo Su" on the statue, her eyebrows furrowed slightly.

  In the Wushan Department, Shanhe sat silently as always, but now, although he still looked the same, a strange light flickered in his narrowed eyes.

  Bei Ling's face was flushed with excitement, and as a member of the Wushan Department, he wouldn't normally reveal such an expression, but rather intentionally remain calm. However, at this moment, he couldn't suppress his excitement, and he even had the illusion that he was putting himself in Mo Su's shoes. The thrill of surpassing the Wind Valley Tribe's pride made him clench his fists tightly.

  Wu La was more excited, his little face flushed red, standing there as if his heart was racing faster and faster, wishing he could be called Mo Su's man, just a few steps away.

  Lei Chen gave up his guess that Mo Su was Su Ming, he felt that this was indeed too fleeting.

  "903!! Musso has reached 903!!!" Ula, after all, was still a little girl, and at this moment she excitedly shouted out, pointing at the name on the statue, her eyes revealing an excited glow, in that glow, there was also a faintly discernible strange emotion.

  The entire square was thrown into an even more intense storm of whispers, with the humming sound echoing through the air. Ye Wang sat cross-legged on the ground, his eyes once again filled with a bloody glow, and his fists clenched tightly, his complex emotions impossible to put into words.

  He was once the pride of heaven, standing on the mountain top, receiving attention and expectation from people in the square below. But now... he has become one of the crowd in the square, a change that is hard for him to accept.

  Even the gasps and murmurs that reached his ears were like sharp blades stabbing into his chest, causing him great pain...

  Su Ming stood on the 903rd step, his body trembling violently as if he was about to collapse. The pressure emanating from the 900 steps above was immense and unimaginable, even in broad daylight.

  He had only taken three steps when Su Ming felt as if he had reached his limit. The intense pain his body was transmitting was no longer something that his bloodlines could withstand. The cracking sounds in his ears were the voices of his bones being unable to bear the pressure.

  Standing there, Su Ming panted heavily, his heart racing as if it was about to collapse, and the pain turned into a sharp ache, making his face pale. Nine hundred and five, still two levels away...

  Here, even rest is impossible due to the oppressive atmosphere, and even if one rests, it will still make it difficult for the body's energy to flow. Su Ming's body trembled violently as he suddenly lifted his right foot and stepped down onto the 904th step.

  At the moment his foot fell, his whole body roared, and a mouthful of blood spurted out. Su Ming's body seemed to fall, but he endured it with all his might until he stood firm again. Then, his left foot also stepped onto the 904th step.

  My whole body feels weak, as if a mountain is crushing me, and everything is spinning around.
