I Want to Burn the Sky

"21!"    

"Twenty-two!"    

"..."    

Guu Feng walked forward step by step. He did not raise his head, nor did he look at the people behind him. He threw away all the burdens and walked with great difficulty.    

Guu Feng's breathing was a little hurried, but this was not his limit. He had already planned to see where his limit was no matter what the outcome was.    

"Wah! It's Xu Rufeng, the disciple of the Heaven Soaring Palace. He's actually the first one to pass the test."    

The disciples who failed followed the people who passed the test on the small path. Soon, they saw Xu Rufeng, who was the first one to reach the thirty-ninth step.    

Xu Rufeng didn't stop walking. Instead, he continued walking forward. No one in the crowd found it strange. The Nine-by-nine Heaven Ascending Stairway was a test of the physical body, and it was also a test of the physical body. If one could walk one more step, it would have a great effect on the physical body.    

At the top of the Nine-by-nine Heaven Ascending Stairway, the Heaven Soaring Palace's Palace Master laughed. After taking a look at the Palace Master, he turned his head and said to the Divine Martial Hall Master beside him, "Haha, Palace Master Liu, I have won again this time."    

The Divine Martial Hall Master knew that the Palace Master was present, and the Heaven Soaring Palace's Hall Master was merely putting on an act. Thus, he replied with a smile.    

There were already dozens of people who had successfully passed the trial. Only then did Guu Feng follow them unhurriedly. After passing the trial, he finally turned around to look at the people behind him, and discovered that less than a third of the people were still persisting. Without saying much, he continued to walk with his head lowered.    

"Forty-nine."    

"Fifty."    

Unconsciously, Guu Feng seemed to have forgotten everything around him. There were no more disciples climbing the mountain with him, and there were no longer the Palace Master Palace Master and the others watching. There were also no spectators who had failed. There was only a straight and steep path that led to the sky.    

He was currently walking on this path with great difficulty. He had no distracting thoughts in his heart, and was unable to be disturbed by anything else.    

Even Chen Junhong, who could not bear to watch him go forward and curse, turned a blind eye to it. Or it could be said that he could not see or hear what Chen Junhong was saying. In his eyes, there was only that endless road that led to the heavens!    

"Eh? Wait and see that kid." The Palace Master suddenly let out a surprised sound and pointed at Guu Feng, who only knew how to step forward.    

All the hall masters looked over. They were all people with profound strength and experience, so they naturally noticed Guu Feng's unusual behavior. The second ranked hall master of the Divine Martial Hall was the first to cry out, "Could it be... his physical body is psychic?"    

"This kid is interesting." The Palace Master nodded its head, then continued staring at Guu Feng and asked, "Who is this kid cultivating under?"    

"Replying to the Palace Master, this kid is cultivating under me." The Vast Cloud Hall Master, who was ranked last, bowed and said with an awkward expression on his face.    

"It's just that when this kid first entered the Spirit Heaven Palace, his potential was tested to be average, and there was nothing special about him during his cultivation. It's really surprising that he was able to display such potential this time."    

"I have a feeling that this year's competition will be more exciting than any previous year's competition. There should be a lot of dark horses that will stand out." Palace Master smiled. He did not blame the Vast Cloud Hall Master for his dereliction of duty. Instead, he changed the topic.    

"Hehe, who is that brat who caught up with us?" As soon as the Palace Master finished speaking, he found another tall and sturdy disciple rushing towards them. He had actually surpassed Guu Feng.    

The other palace masters stared at the Vast Cloud Hall's palace master with strange eyes. They had a tacit understanding and didn't speak a word.    

Cang Song didn't know whether he should feel happy or sad. He held it in for a long time before saying haltingly, "The Palace Master is also my disciple, Lu Yong. During my cultivation period, he was honest and honest, and his strength wasn't top-notch."    

Speaking up to this point, he carefully looked at the Palace Master before continuing, "His aptitude can't be considered high, but, it's just that..."    

"Alright, in the future, pay more attention to your disciples." The Palace Master interrupted him and did not say anything else.    

The Vast Cloud Hall Master quickly nodded and agreed. He secretly heaved a sigh of relief. It seemed like the Palace Master was in a good mood today. At least, it didn't cause him any trouble because of this matter.    

Guu Feng was like a walking corpse. He had already reached the 64th step, but he had no idea that he was going to continue.    

There were only a few dozen people who had reached the 64th step like him. Chen Junhong had been unable to advance at the 41st step, but no matter what, he had already passed the first test.    

"Xu Rufeng from the Heaven Soaring Palace, Guu Feng from the Vast Cloud Hall, Lu Yong, Wang Yueyang from the Divine Martial Hall, and Xiao He from the Desolate Hall. Why don't you follow me and guess who will be the first?" Palace Master smiled and said.    

"I think it should be Xu Rufeng from the Heaven Soaring Palace. I heard that when this kid entered the Soaring Heavens Hall, he was tested to be a heaven warping talent. After that, his cultivation improved by leaps and bounds. It shouldn't be difficult for him to get first place." A palace master came to a conclusion.    

"Xiao He from the Desolate Hall had a fortuitous encounter since he was young. His physical body could be said to be invincible amongst those of the same cultivation level. He is comparable to a Ferocious Beast of the same strength. I think that Xiao He has a higher chance of winning." There were also hall masters who had different opinions.    

"Wang Yueyang is not weak either. It's just that I don't know what rank he will be able to climb to this year's top. It is said that ever since the establishment of Spirit Heaven Palace, no one has been able to reach the 981st step."    

"That disciple of Vast Cloud Hall, Lu Yong, should have a chance as well."    

The ten palace masters had different opinions, but none of them had high hopes for Guu Feng. Although they had seen that Guu Feng was able to reach the Spiritual Body realm by chance, his speed was slow, like a turtle crawling, always at the bottom.    

"Which Palace Master thinks has the highest chance of winning amongst the five of them?" There were also hall masters who did not forget to flatter the Palace Master.    

"In my opinion." The Palace Master paused for a moment, then smiled mysteriously and said something that no one had expected, "I think that the young man called Guu Feng from the Vast Cloud Hall is the most likely to win the first place."    

The hall master, who was prepared to flatter the Palace Master, was dumbfounded. He held it in for a long time and did not say a word.    

The Palace Master did not look at their expressions and continued, "What level do you think the first place will reach?"    

"Around seventy."    

"Seventy-five is the limit"    

"I think we should stop at seventy. Ever since the establishment of Spirit Heaven Palace, no one has ever passed the seventy-fifth step."    

... ""    

"If I tell you that I think that Guu Feng has the potential to reach the top, do you believe me? " The Palace Master turned around and looked at the crowd with a serious expression.    

All the Palace Masters were dumbfounded. They stared at the Palace Master. When they saw that he didn't seem to be joking, they asked nervously, "Why does the Palace Master only favor that Guu Feng?"    

"Let's wait and see." The Palace Master didn't explain the reason, and continued to watch the competition.    

"Look, that Xu Rufeng has already reached the 71st step."    

The one who walked at the front was Xu Rufeng from the Heaven Soaring Palace. His entire body was drenched in sweat, but he refused to give up. He gritted his teeth and persisted.    

"Ai, Xiao He from the Desolate Hall and Wang Yueyang from the Divine Martial Hall have both failed at the 71st step." There were also some who sighed. If the two of them left, it meant that they had no chance of getting first place.    

"Hiss! The two disciples of the Vast Cloud Hall still haven't left the stage, but they have already caught up with us." Some disciples had sharp eyes, and they saw Guu Feng and his companion, who were still walking slowly on the sixty-eighth step.    

When they reached the seventy-eighth step, Lu Yong was too weak to continue. He turned his head and looked at Guu Feng, who was almost walking side by side with him, and said with a laugh.    

"I can't do it anymore, it's all up to you."
