On the sixth floor of the Old Tower, Zhou Hua stepped onto the stone stairs, turned around, and revealed a mocking smile towards Cang Yun who had yet to set off: "From now on, I will always keep you under my feet."
"Is that so?"
Cang Yun smiled, and laughed coldly: "I think, you don't have that kind of ability."
"Heh, then I'll show you my ability!" Zhou Hua let out a cold laugh. As soon as he finished speaking, the source power in his body fiercely surged, and in an instant, his figure had actually consecutively jumped over the stone stairs of the fifth floor. After slightly turning around, his cold laughter had once again sounded out: "How's your skill, can you catch up?"
Cang Yun did not reply. Instead, he used his actions to prove that as the source power flowed, he stepped forward and climbed the stone stairs with a single step. Although his speed was not as fast as Zhou Hua's, his footsteps were still extremely steady.
Seeing that, Zhou Hua's face darkened, he did not dare delay any further, and turned to continue climbing.
Six hours later.
Cang Yun climbed the eightieth floor and then the eighty-second floor. He was still two floors ahead of everyone else, but Zhou Hua was still not happy because in these six hours, not only did the distance between him and Cang Yun not increase, it was actually shrinking unceasingly. This made him feel very uneasy, even a little bit panicked.
"This guy's cultivation is only at the first layer of the Secret Treasure Trove, how could he go so far?" Zhou Hua gritted his teeth as he looked at the figure that was chasing after him.
Because right now, the pressure on the stone stairs was extremely huge, and it was quite difficult for him to climb with his current cultivation level. At this rate, he could at most reach his limit after a few more steps.
"Yes, this kid is definitely holding on. He won't be able to walk too far. I don't believe that I will lose!"
In the next moment, Zhou Hua consoled himself in his heart, and unwillingly buried his head again and continued forward.
This time, he had expended the last bit of his physical strength, and his speed had also increased by a few points.
Another two hours passed.
Zhou Hua climbed up to the ninetieth floor, and was only nine floors away from the finishing point. He could even clearly see the vast stone table when he raised his head.
But at this moment, he was already exhausted. He was lying on the stone stairs, breathing heavily.
"What is it? can't walk anymore? "
Suddenly, Cang Yun's voice came from behind him.
Hearing that, Zhou Hua turned his head with much difficulty, and looked at the figure that made him jealous and hateful. His feminine face revealed a look of disbelief: "Impossible, how can you be here!"
Cang Yun smiled indifferently: "I already said this before, if you want to step on me, you don't have that kind of ability."
"You ?" Zhou Hua's face was ashen. The words he had said, yet was slapped in the face by someone else, that kind of feeling was not good at all.
However, in the next moment, he sensed that Cang Yun's entire body was emitting a slightly depressed aura, the unwillingness in his heart had somewhat dissipated, and he laughed sinisterly: "Don't think that I am unable to see that you are also at the end of your rope, and you will not be able to win against me in this gamble."
Cang Yun frowned but did not say a word. Zhou Hua was right, he had used all his power to only reach this step, and had reached the limit. Most of the source power on his body were already used up, so to take another step is extremely difficult, very difficult.
Therefore, after Cang Yun raised his head and stared at it for a long time, a smile suddenly appeared on his face, and he said: "I'm afraid that it will disappoint you."
In the next moment, under Zhou Hua's somewhat doubtful gaze, Cang Yun abruptly let out a low roar, and as the roar fell, the essence energy in his body instantly shook, and his body borrowed the new energy to rapidly soar, finally landing steadily on the ninety-first floor.
"How is this possible!" Zhou Hua was stunned, he looked up at the condescending figure, as though he had lost all of his energy and slumped down the stone stairs.
"Now you can say that I won, right? "The wager ?" Cang Yun turned and waved to Zhou Hua.
Zhou Hua's face became unsettled, thinking about how precious that Origin Crystal was, he hesitated for a moment, but after a while, he unwillingly took it out in the end. Many people knew about this wager, and he would not be able to let it go.
"Thank you very much." Cang Yun reached out to take the Origin Crystals, smiled and nodded.
"Hmph." However, when faced with Cang Yun's polite smile, Zhou Hua actually disdained it, and snorted: You don't need to be arrogant, although you have won the bet, but our fate is the same, and you can only end up as the one being eliminated.
Cang Yun shook his head slightly. Towards Zhou Hua, who was extremely unbalanced in his heart, he had nothing to say, and he did not agree with him in his heart either, because he had already decided long ago that no matter how difficult this trial was, he would have to use all of his strength to complete it.
On one hand, he was worried for Zhou Xian'er's safety. After all, the matter of the inheritance was no small matter, and out of emotion, he did not want to see any mishap with the former. On the other hand, he had made an agreement with Zhou Hao that as long as he could protect Zhou Xian'er and obtain the inheritance, the azure world would be able to form an alliance with the Scorching Sun Realm.
Therefore, whether it was feeling or reason, he had to fight with everything he had.
Therefore, in the next moment, Cang Yun took a deep breath, as though he had made some sort of decision, he sat down cross legged, and closed his eyes, and actually assumed a cultivation posture.
"What is this kid doing?" Zhou Hua had always been observing Cang Yun, but when he saw the strange movements of the latter, he immediately mumbled to himself, training under such extreme pressure, wasn't that equivalent to courting death?
At this time, the Heaven and Earth source power in the space was attracted by Cang Yun's cultivation and gradually gathered around him. As time passed, the fluctuation became more obvious.
On the stone stairs that was extremely close to the finish line, Zhou Jun and the others also turned their heads around. When they saw Cang Yun's actions, they were stunned at the same time.
"Break through here?" Zhou Jun raised his brows, and then smiled coldly: "You're simply courting death."
also couldn't figure out what Cang Yun was trying to do. Breaking through in that kind of environment was extremely dangerous, and within the Zhou Family's clan grounds trials, no one had ever dared to do such a thing.
However, in comparison to the duo's confusion, the usually silent Zhou An's eyes shone brightly at this moment. An extremely suppressed fighting spirit silently surged within his eyes.
He then said in a low voice that could only be heard by himself, "He clearly won the bet, but yet he still insists on breaking through. It seems that he wants to complete this trial. Such a persistent person is getting more and more interesting."
They all had different thoughts, but what they had in common was that all of them stopped walking, and stared unblinkingly at the figure that was enveloped in the dense source power. They all wanted to see, what would the final outcome be.
