Chapter 126: Chapter 126- Annoying the heck out of his opponent

The system made it so that his special physique and his secret cultivation technique nullify the pressure without getting in his way. As proof, he felt his secret cultivation technique circulate around his body much faster than before.

The other thing that he noticed was his experience bar which was on the verge of getting filled.

Knowing that he could level up any second, Yang Chen stopped n his tracks and closed his eyes feeling the powerful energy filling his body to the brim.

However, to Yan Zhuo who was secretly keeping an eye on Yang Chen, it looked like the latter was unable to proceed any further after that first step and though that was their limit.

"Hmph" Yan Zhuo snorted in derision, "I thought that you might be able to entertain me a little. However, it looks like I overestimated you too much. At the end, I guess the first step is your limit".

He shook his head and got back to cultivating. He was only three steps away from reaching the altar as such, he didn’t have any time to waste it on others.

Yan Zhuo’s eyes briefly shut, but they snapped open again as he sensed an abrupt spike in the aura of the person below. An explosive surge of battle energy erupted from them, only to be drawn back in with an astonishing force

This phenomenon caused the surrounding flame energy to be pushed away and at the same time revealed the strength of the other party.

"Three Star Battle Master... so he broke through huh" Yan Zhuo surmised, feeling the density and power of the battle energy released. His eyes contained some surprise, the other party breaking through in front of him was something he didn’t expect as such, it caught him by surprise.

"Even if you break through at this point, the first step should still be your limit at the end" he stated with a hint of superiority before closing his eyes once more. But again, he was compelled to open them as he sensed another movement from the participant he had initially dismissed as insignificant.

This time, they took another step forward, proving Yan Zhuo’s underestimation wrong.

Since the former did not bother to keep his voice down, so of course Yang Chen heard what they said.

"Did you say something about my limit?" Yang Chen stated, a small smirk formed on the corner of their lips.

The words caught Yan Zhuo’s attention, he frowned and turned to face Yang Chen, posing a question as he did "What is your name?"...

"It’s Yang Chen"...

"I see, listen here Yang Chen just because you reach the second step, doesn’t give you the qualification to speak arrogantly in front of me. On my first try, I was easily able to reach the sixth step without stopping. So if you have something to say, say it after you reach the sixth step"

Yan Zhuo’s words carried a strong sense of arrogance as his eyes glared down at Yang Chen. From his perspective, reaching the second step was insignificant, and the latter had no right to speak back to him.

Plus, he had full confidence in his own abilities and believed that only a handful of individuals in this entire Yan province would be able to match him. He was soon going to climb to the tenth step and later on step on the altar and leave the other party to eat his dust.

Or so he thought; however, reality was about to shatter his assumptions, revealing a different truth than he had imagined.

"Heh, qualification. If that is the case, I shall show you what my qualification actually is" Yang Chen stated. He didn’t expect the other party to outright challenge him right after asking his name.

He expected this Yan Zhou to be arrogant to some degree given their extraordinary background. However, he didn’t think that it would be to this extent where he would completely look down on everyone.

That said, now that the other party was blatantly looking down on him, he couldn’t just allow them to run all over him after all, he had his own pride.

It must be cleared that Yang Chen was not angry. On the contrary, he was very much amused by the other party’s declaration.

The reason for his amusement was simple, thanks to the idiosyncracy of the other party he was provided with an opportunity to grind some points by annoying the heck out of them. Also at the same time he felt like he should teach them a lesson or two about humility.

Yang Chen flashed an evil smile and in front of the watching Yan Zhuo, he took another step and then again and once again. He kept at it without slowing down until he reached the sixth step.

"Did you say you reached the sixth step in your first attempt? Pathetic" After saying things that would incite them, Yang Chen proceeded to climb the seventh step.

[Ding... you have committed a mischief 150 points awarded]

As expected, his words had worked. Yan Zhuo was looking at him with a mixture of fury and disbelief. The former couldn’t believe that Yang Chen was able to climb to the seventh step all at once matching his own record.

It needs to be mentioned that these steps were not any ordinary steps, but a test designed to determine the true limit of a participant. Just facing the heat of the sixth floor was already challenging; however, with each successive step that one takes towards the altar, the flame energy assaulting their body, rises exponentially.

Not only that, even the air shimmers with violent heat distorting ones vision and making it difficult for them to maintain their concentration.

To climb the steps, one had to continuously circulate their battle energy to protect themselves from the searing heat, use their secret cultivation technique to absorb the infernal flames pouring inside their body and acclimate to it at the fastest possible time.

That’s right, one had to complete all the three things at the same time to climb the steps. Even for Yan Zhuo it was extremely challenging and was a true test of his physical and mental resilience to climb to the sixth step in one go.
