Chapter 482: Resistance

"What’s with that look? You don’t consider him as your friend?" Cui Shuyin asked with an innocent tone.

Sun Xiurong removed her eyes from Cui Shuyin without saying anything. She understood that arguing would only make her lose her temper even more.

Cui Shuyin revealed a faint smile, "See... She accepts him as a friend, quite a rare occurrence, isn’t it?"

Qin Ruoxuan nodded immediately with a little surprised expression, "That really is quite unbelievable, now I am really curious to know what happened... In fact, I am quite curious to know what happened with the devils?"

"Elder Zhao hasn’t returned to the sect yet?" Cui Shuyin looked at Qin Ruoxuan with confusion as she was quite sure Zhao Tianheng had returned to the sect with the other disciples.

"I was engrossed in talismans, so I haven’t heard anything about it..." Qin Ruoxuan shook her head.

"Nothing happened..." Xiao Canglan spoke, "Blood Palace was sure that Sun Xiurong was in the forest, but since Elder Cui and Zhao met her in the town, they just brought the disciples back from the border... Which begs the question, why was Blood Palace so certain that you were in that forest?"

Xiao Canglan looked at Sun Xiurong and asked in a bewildered tone.

"I wasn’t there, so I don’t know..." Sun Xiurong didn’t want to mention the truth, who knows what new ways they would come up with to keep an eye on her if they found out that she was about to die.

"Let’s talk about those things later, he reached the sixtieth step..."

Cui Shuyin didn’t want the others to question Sun Xiurong as she knew that Sun Xiurong didn’t like that.

This was something Xiao Canglan and the others understood too, so Xiao Canglan didn’t pursue the matter anymore and focused his attention back on Lin Feng, who had just crossed the sixtieth step.

There was only one question in his mind, and it wasn’t about whether Lin Feng would cross his previous record or not, it was about when he would finally stop at least once.

...

Lin Feng wondered if he was being watched right now or not. He had a feeling that he was, but his instincts weren’t able to verify it.

Till now he hadn’t moved too fast or too slow, but if someone was really looking at him, then they would definitely consider him a person with immense will because he wasn’t stopping to rest.

He could have stopped, but he found it irrelevant. Some people are born with immense willpower, and that wouldn’t raise any kind of suspicion on him.

So he would just complete this test without stopping, unless something else changed on these steps.

He maintained his pace and slowly climbed one step after another.

Outside everyone was now watching quietly. Qin Ruoxuan didn’t even go to inform Shen Tianji about Lin Feng.

Lin Feng was now at the seventy-fourth step, and this was the moment they were waiting for. Surely this time he would stop.

Lin Feng climbed onto the seventy-fifth step, and without knowing about the changes in the next step, he calmly put his foot forward.

His expression changed as he felt piercing pain many times greater than what he had been feeling till now in his soul and body, but it wasn’t shock, it was more of a surprise for him.

He looked at the last twenty-five steps, and a small smile crept onto his lips, now he felt it was a little interesting.

He took the step and without stopping took another.

...

Outside Xiao Canglan and the others didn’t speak a word. They felt a little numb inside, specifically seeing his surprised expression instead of shock.

Soon they saw Lin Feng crossing the seventy-eighth step, finally breaking Xiao Canglan’s record, but none of them cared about it. What was making them hold their breaths was the fact that even now he had not stopped once.

Eightieth step.

Eighty-first.

...

As Lin Feng reached the ninetieth step, finally they all saw some changes happening to him. His speed had visibly slowed down, and his body was trembling faintly.

This at least made them sigh in some relief as this was proof that he wasn’t totally immune to the torturous pain he was going through.

"It took him ninety steps for him to feel something..." Duan Lie sighed.

"He is still as calm as ever..." Qin Ruoxuan sighed too, "It is obvious that only his body is giving up, not his will..."

The others nodded in understanding. There is a limit to how much pain you can feel before your body instinctively falters. Most of them felt that completely at the seventy-fifth step, but Lin Feng had just started to feel that at the ninetieth step.

The fact that he still hadn’t stopped showed that his will was far stronger than his own instincts to give up.

"He is going to reach the hundredth step..." Xiao Canglan sighed.

When this test was established in the past, it was considered that no one below the Embodiment Realm could completely climb all Hundred Steps, yet today it was going to happen, and the person who was doing it was only at the Early Stage of the Initiation Realm.

He wondered how the supreme elder would feel when he heard that, since it was supreme elder’s master who had created this test and spoken those words.

"Wouldn’t his body will completely give up before that?"

Han Kuang spoke while hoping that it really happened. He was jealous slightly but that wasn’t the reason why he wanted to see Lin Feng fail, it was just that he would at least be able to see how strong this new disciple’s willpower was, which would be impossible to gauge unless he took another test inside the sect meant for elders.

"I don’t think so..." Duan Lie shook his head while looking at Lin Feng.

...

Inside, Lin Feng felt his body trembling in resistance to his own will to climb the next step, and with every step he climbed, it was becoming worse.

Right now the pain was numbing, equivalent to the feeling of his body and soul getting disintegrated into dust every second.

This feeling of resistance from his own body is something he hated completely..
