I Want to Burn the Sky

Chen Junhong flicked his sleeve and left angrily. The farce had ended just like that. Guu Feng looked at the Spirit Heaven Palace disciple who wanted to spar with him first and asked with a smile, "Do we still need to spar?"    

The disciple quickly shook his head. What a joke. This person didn't even put the eldest son of the Chen family in his eyes. It was better for him not to provoke him. He didn't care whether he would make a fool of himself or not and shamelessly said.    

"I suddenly feel a little uncomfortable. I can't exert my full strength. We will talk about it in the future."    

Knowing that this person wanted to retreat, Guu Feng did not make things difficult for him. However, he still said to this person, "Then let's do it next time. But I hope this junior brother will not feel unwell next time."    

That man did not blush. He chuckled and boasted shamelessly, "How could this be? Today is really an unexpected situation. It will definitely not be like this next time. Senior Brother Gu, just wait for me to arrange a fight. When the time comes, I will definitely have a good fight with Senior Brother Gu. "    

Guu Feng didn't even bother to respond. He just nodded and left alone.    

A day passed in the blink of an eye. Guu Feng, who had finished meditating, opened his eyes. It was already dawn. He tidied his clothes and left the room.    

How could he forget that today was the grand competition held once every three years in Spirit Heaven Palace?    

The grand competition was held once every three years. All the disciples were naturally looking forward to it. There were many reasons for this. First of all, the fact that they were able to obtain such a great reward made many disciples jealous. Second, if they were able to stand out among their fellow disciples... Being chosen by a certain Hall Master would definitely be extremely fortunate.    

There were countless benefits like this, so they could not be listed one by one.    

When Guu Feng arrived at the Spirit Heaven Palace's martial arena, most of the disciples had arrived early. Guu Feng looked up and saw a huge crowd of people, as many as the hairs on a cow's head.    

Even the Palace Master, which had not shown up for many years, had come to the martial arena in person. After landing on the ground, it stood with its hands behind its back, and its clothes fluttered in the wind. It was in high spirits, and it made all the disciples cheer excitedly.    

The ten palace masters followed closely behind. Each of them was in high spirits, and they looked mighty and extraordinary.    

The Palace Master took a step forward and pressed down with its hand, signaling everyone to be quiet. The disciples didn't dare to act rashly anymore. They all shut their mouths and didn't say anything. The entire martial arena was so large that even a pin drop could be heard.    

"Today is the grand competition held once every three years in Spirit Heaven Palace. It can also be considered as the time to test the results of everyone's hard work over the past three years. The rules are the same as the previous years. Everyone knows that I won't say anything more. Today is the grand competition held once every three years in ___. It is also the time to test the results of everyone's hard work over the past three years. I believe that everyone is looking forward to this grand competition.    

To be honest, I'm looking forward to it more than everyone else. Then, I'll leave the rest of the time to everyone. " The Palace Master's voice wasn't loud, but it could be clearly heard by every disciple.    

"It's the same as before. The first stage of the competition is to test the strength of the disciples' bodies. Being able to reach the thirty-ninth step of the Nine-by-nine Heaven Ascending Stairway is considered passing the test, and those who fall to the ground or retreat will be considered as failures. All disciples, follow me to the Stairway to Heaven. "    

The most powerful master of the Heaven Soaring Palace in the Ten Great Hall Masters waved his hand, signaling everyone to follow him to the Stairway to Heaven.    

Guu Feng was naturally in the group as well. Unlike the time when he was in the War Soul Academy, the Spirit Heaven Palace was much fairer, and all disciples could participate in the competition.    

Following the leader of the Palace Master and the ten masters, all the disciples arrived in front of the Stairway to Heaven.    

Guu Feng raised his head and looked at the Stairway to Heaven. There were about a hundred steps on the Stairway to Heaven, and they were about three meters wide, which could allow dozens of people to pass through in a row.    

Looking up from below, the top of the Nine-by-nine Heaven Ascending Stairway was as small as a grain of rice. It was covered by layers of clouds, as if it could really reach the sky.    

Guu Feng had just entered the Spirit Heaven Palace not long ago, and he had not experienced the Great Competition of the Spirit Heaven Palace in the past. Therefore, he had no idea what was so special about this Nine-by-nine Heaven Ascending Stairway. However, after releasing his divine sense, he could faintly feel a strong and oppressive aura coming from the Nine-by-nine Heaven Ascending Stairway.    

"Senior brother, what do you mean by this Nine-by-nine Heaven Ascending Stairway? Isn't it a bit too simple to simply climb up to the 39th step?" There were also a few disciples who had entered the Spirit Heaven Palace not long ago who asked the older disciples beside them.    

"Of course it's not that simple. Didn't the Palace Master say just now? This Nine-by-nine Heaven Ascending Stairway is a test of our physical bodies. You will know when you take two steps forward."    

That senior brother chuckled and kept him in suspense. Clearly, he wanted to tease this junior brother.    

The Palace Master was an expert at the Imperial Sky level. His body rose into the air and landed on the top of the Nine-by-nine Heaven Ascending Stairway. Following which, his voice, which had not disappeared for a long time, was heard.    

"All disciples will immediately ascend the stairs. There is no time limit and no time limit. All of you will pass the thirty-ninth step. We will wait for all of you at the top of the Nine-by-nine Heaven Ascending Stairway."    

After that, the ten hall masters nodded at their disciples and cheered them on. After that, they followed the Palace Master and climbed to the top of the Nine-by-nine Heaven Ascending Stairway. Their cultivation was deep, so the Nine-by-nine Heaven Ascending Stairway naturally couldn't stop them at all.    

It was unknown which disciple shouted at the top of their lungs, Charge! The group of people quickly began to climb the stairs. It was a spectacular scene.    

Guu Feng took a deep breath and followed the crowd to climb the stairs. Although he did not know what was so special about the Nine-by-nine Heaven Ascending Stairway, he believed that it would not be so simple.    

After taking a step onto the stairs, an overbearing and deep oppressive feeling assaulted him. Guu Feng, who was caught off guard, was pressed by this great force to the point that his knees bent and he almost fell to the ground. He shouted and stood up straight. He raised his head and looked at the end of the Nine-by-nine Heaven Ascending Stairway. He said with a smile:    

"So that's how it is. No wonder the Palace Master said that the first test is to test the physical body."    

The other disciples weren't as lucky as Guu Feng. Or rather, the other disciples didn't have Guu Feng's strong body. Many disciples who didn't understand the situation took a step forward, and their bodies leaned forward, causing them to fall solidly.    

There were many disciples who fell on the first step. It was almost a quarter of the total number of people. Of course, if they were prepared, there would be fewer disciples who would be eliminated. Most of them would lose because of carelessness.    

Of course, the Palace Master had said that the first test was to test one's physique. It was not a test of one's reaction. If one's body was strong enough... Even if he took the first step carelessly, he wouldn't fall down and be eliminated. In the end, it was still a matter of whether the body was strong or not.    

Guu Feng exhaled a breath of foul air and adjusted his condition. He had already reached the tenth step and was covered in sweat. It was as if he was carrying a huge mountain on his back as he walked. Step by step, he walked up with great difficulty.    

More than ten steps should not be a big deal for Guu Feng, who had a strong body. But for the other disciples, it was difficult to reach the sky. Guu Feng turned around and found that half of the disciples had already left the stage in defeat. Some sighed, some regretted, and some looked dispirited at them who were still persisting on the Nine-by-nine Heaven Ascending Stairway.    

"Hmph! Being able to climb more than ten steps isn't bad at all." Suddenly, a voice sounded beside Guu Feng. Guu Feng turned his head and saw that it was the Chen Junhong from yesterday.    

Chen Junhong coldly glanced at Guu Feng, then turned his head with an arrogant face and strode forward in a threatening manner, surpassing Guu Feng.    

Guu Feng smiled. He did not intend to compete with Chen Junhong in terms of speed. This was a competition of physical strength. No matter how fast you were, it would be useless if you could not reach the high rank.    

"Trash is trash. I guess you can't even pass the first stage." Chen Junhong, who was a few steps ahead of Guu Feng, turned his head and saw Guu Feng walking slowly behind him. He sneered and said with undisguised disdain.    

Seeing that Guu Feng treated him like nothing, he became even more angry from embarrassment. He waved his sleeves and walked even more anxiously, as if he was taking a gamble.
