"What is he doing?"
"Do you want to take the test?"
Apart from being shocked, the crowd started whispering amongst themselves. This Jiang Feng had actually walked to the front of the cliff. As trash who couldn't sense spirit qi, he probably didn't know the cruelty of the exams.
Mu Rongxue didn't expect Jiang Feng to be like this either. She stared coldly at Jiang Feng and said, "Jiang Feng, this place doesn't belong to you. Put down your resentment and don't make yourself suffer."
Jiang Feng raised his head and calmly looked at Mu Rongxue without saying a word.
He stepped out and stood on the first stone step.
In that instant, an invisible pressure pressed down like a mountain, causing Jiang Feng's brow to furrow slightly.
"There are rules of gravity on the stone steps. The higher you go, the stronger the pressure. The terrifying pressure of gravity is enough to crush people into minced meat. It makes people fearful and their Taoist Heart waver."
The Sky-demon's voice sounded. He said slowly, "It's interesting to pass the Academy's examination. The first test is not about talent, but perseverance. If you want to be a strong person, you must have a resolute heart of Martial Arts. You must have the perseverance to never give up, the determination to never lose, and the courage to press forward. All of these are more important than talent."
"Some people have amazing talent, but they don't have enough perseverance and have ordinary achievements. Some people have mediocre talent, but they have a heart of martial arts to become a strong person. They will never be able to return, and they will never admit defeat. With indomitable courage, they will become strong in their generation."
"The person who made the test rules is not bad. He has grasped the main point."
"Can the gravity laws on the stone steps crush the wooden coffin?" Jiang Feng frowned. He wasn't afraid of the gravity laws and didn't have to consider his grandfather on his shoulders.
As soon as he entered the Imperial City, no one knew him. He had to bring his grandfather with him. Most importantly, the moment he entered the Academy, he was ready to kill his way out of the Academy at any time.
The Skyfiend said, "I know what you're worried about. Don't worry, do what you want to do."
Jiang Feng nodded.
However, when the crowd saw that Jiang Feng had stopped on the first stone step, ridicule and mockery instantly rang out.
"Haha, a good-for-nothing is a good-for-nothing. I'm scared as soon as I go up the stone steps."
"How dare you carry the coffin up? You don't know what you're talking about."
"Shameless villain, this place doesn't belong to you. Get out of the Imperial City."
In front of the precipice, Mu Rongxue looked down from above at Jiang Feng, gently shaking her head and sighing. Her mocking expression seemed to be saying, "I've warned you a long time ago that you didn't listen to me and insisted on making yourself suffer."
Jiang Feng smiled, also carrying a sense of mockery.
Was the pressure exerted by the 108 stone steps as strong as the tearing of the Domineering Star Body?
Would his Taoist Heart waver?
He had never been afraid.
With one hand behind his back and a smile on his face, Jiang Feng walked up. His casual posture was like a casual stroll, causing the crowd's gazes to shrink.
50, 60, 70...
Jiang Feng didn't slow down. His expression was as usual, relaxed and casual.
This caused many people's expressions to freeze once again. Jiang Feng did not pause at all. It was so easy. One must know that when Mu Rongxue walked to the 60th step, her speed had also begun to slow down. This Jiang Feng's speed was actually even faster than Mu Rongxue's.
"This..."
"How could he be so fast? And he even went up with a coffin!"
The faces of Mu Rongxue, Mu Yuanshan, and the cyan-clothed man changed slightly.
Even the eyes of many mentors on the high platform lit up.
On the periphery of the crowd, a middle-aged man in white stood there and watched this scene calmly. A bright light flashed in his calm eyes, but soon dissipated, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"Rip!"
On the 90th step, Jiang Feng's already tattered clothes were ripped apart under the powerful pressure. However, his expression remained the same and his speed did not decrease. He continued to casually climb the 100th step.
"So powerful!" Everyone's pupils contracted, and their hearts began to fill with shock.
Jiang Feng looked at Mu Rongxue and said calmly, "Some people say that I can only look up to you now, but I want to ask, is this exam very difficult? How long did it take you to pass the test? What qualifications do you have for me to look up to you?"
Weng!
As his voice fell, Jiang Feng suddenly sped up. It was as if there were shadows left behind on the stone steps. The final eight stone steps were the strongest in terms of pressure. Jiang Feng had easily crossed them. No, to be more precise, he'd run past them.
The frightening presence in their eyes was as good as nothing in Jiang Feng's eyes, without the slightest bit of threat.
Jiang Feng stood in front of the precipice and stared at Mu Rongxue. Do I need to look up at you?
"Am I asking for trouble?"
"Whew..."
The crowd was shocked. Not to mention whether Jiang Feng's speed had surpassed the fastest speed in the academy, he was at least able to defeat Mu Rongxue. Furthermore, he had even climbed up to the top of the coffin.
What right did that sentence have to make me look up? Not only did it hit Mu Rongxue and Mu Yuanshan's faces, but it also made many people feel a burning pain on their faces.
The humiliation from earlier still reverberated in their ears, yet it appeared so laughable. It caused quite a number of people to feel ashamed and ashamed. They had no place to hide their faces.
What qualifications do you have for me to look up to you?
The corners of Mu Rongxue's mouth twitched as she looked at Jiang Feng, her eyes flashing. She realized that she seemed to have underestimated Jiang Feng, but so what? Che Shaoyang, the disciple of the Azure Feather Sect's Heaven's pride, how could Jiang Feng compare?
"Jiang Feng, you have no distractions because you can't sense the Spiritual Qi. You are strong and dare to ignore the heavy pressure of the 108 stone steps. But this is also your tragedy. Even if you stand in front of me, you can't cross the gap between us. You are destined to be a good-for-nothing who can't cultivate." Mu Rongxue regained her calm, and her face was calm again.
A good-for-nothing?
Jiang Feng laughed coldly. Mu Rongxue had actually said these two words to indicate that she was referring to him.
"When did you become so proud?"
Jiang Feng softly spat out a sentence. He didn't wait for Mu Rongxue's reply and continued, "But there's one thing that you're right about. From now on, we're not in the same world."
As soon as he finished speaking, he slipped and seized the sword in Mu Rongxue's hand. Before the latter could react, the sword had already left his hand.
"Jiang Feng, what do you want to do?" Mu Yuanshan couldn't help shouting. For some reason, a trace of fear grew in his heart.
"What, are you scared?"
Jiang Feng looked at Mu Yuanshan and sneered, "I don't deserve your daughter. Do I have to look up to her? She is a genius, but I am just a despicable and shameless good-for-nothing. What are you afraid of?"
"Humph, you still have some self-knowledge."
Hearing Jiang Feng's words, Mu Yuanshan felt a little relieved. He snorted and said, "You and Rong Xue are destined to be two parallel lines. Even if you want to have a connection, it's impossible. Leave the Imperial City and live an ordinary life."
Leaving the imperial palace?
Jiang Feng shook his head. He hadn't taken his revenge yet, so how could he leave the imperial city? In addition, the current situation didn't seem to be over.
"Since you're standing here, there are some rules that you should abide by. Otherwise, it would be too disrespectful to the Sky Ying Academy. Furthermore, there are many things that I don't agree with what you've said earlier. I'll show everyone who's right and who's wrong." Jiang Feng looked at Mu Yuanshan with a mocking expression.
Mu Yuanshan's face changed slightly. The fear that had just dissipated appeared in his heart again, and it was even more intense.
Mu Rongxue's expression also froze. What else did he want to do?
The crowd was also surprised. According to Jiang Feng's words, could it be that he still wanted to continue the assessment? To refute Mu Yuanshan's previous words?
Although he had stepped onto the hundred and eight stone steps and shocked everyone, as Mu Rongxue had said, he should often strengthen his body and his physique was unusually strong. Coupled with the fact that he was unable to sense the Spiritual Qi, he had no distractions and dared to ignore the heavy pressure of the hundred and eight stone steps with the mentality of taking drastic measures.
However, leaving a mark on the precipice was not something that could be done with brute force. Without spiritual energy, one could forget about leaving a mark.
The Mu family said that he could not sense the Spiritual Qi, and the Che family had also gone to South Hill City. It seemed that they were right.
Where did Jiang Feng's confidence come from?
On the periphery of the crowd, the middle-aged man in white had a bigger smile on his face. His calm eyes began to shine. He seemed to smell something different.
Clang!
With a shake of his arm, the long sword stabbed out, making a crisp trembling sound.
Jiang Feng looked at Mu Rongxue with a calm expression and said, "You've repeatedly emphasized that there's a chasm between us, and I can't keep up with your footsteps. Your pride is because you've sensed the spirit energy, and in my eyes, you're trash who can't sense the spirit energy. But what I want to say is, is it that difficult to sense the spirit energy?"
Weng!
As soon as he finished speaking, a beam of light spilled out of Jiang Feng's body, like starlight, and spread toward the long sword in his hand.
"Spiritual Qi!"
Mu Rongxue's body trembled violently and she was extremely surprised. Not only her, but also Mu Yuanshan and the man in green were also stunned and surprised.
Especially Mu Yuanshan. At this moment, the fear in his heart was extremely strong.
"It's Spiritual Qi overflowing. It's Spiritual Qi overflowing."
The crowd instantly burst into an uproar. Was Jiang Feng truly as the Mu family had said, unable to sense the spirit energy?
"You're high above me and have mercy for me. I advise you not to make trouble for yourself, but I want to ask, where did you get the right to do so?" Jiang Feng's arm shook, and a biting cold aura spread out like a tide. Spiritual qi flowed wildly and gathered on the body of the sword, causing the long sword to ring incessantly.
"Autumn Water I Royal Sword!"
The next moment, Jiang Feng placed the coffin next to him and immediately flew out. His long sword rose up along with the flow, and the body of the sword rippled like the ripples of autumn water. His entire person seemed to be one with the sword, emitting an invisible aura.
"Perfect Level!"
Everyone cried out in shock. Jiang Feng's sword skill was the same as Mu Rongxue's, but it was sharper and more artistic. He had actually reached the perfect level!
It was clear who was stronger and who was weaker.
No one had expected that.
Of course, except for Mu Rongxue and Mu Yuanshan.
At this moment, their faces were extremely ugly.
