Chapter 139 It's none of your business how I got up here.
Yunxi suppressed her anger, closed her eyes, and waited in place, no longer climbing the steps.
And I told myself that I must not be influenced by Xiao Weiqing.
Five minutes later.
Seeing that Yun Xi still did not make a move, Xiao Weiqing stopped waiting. His body was under pressure every moment, and there was no need to kill a thousand enemies while losing eight hundred of his own.
I began to slowly climb the white jade steps at my own pace.
Before leaving, he didn't forget to say:
"The treasure is mine now."
"..."
Yunxi wished she could plug her ears at that moment.
Watching Xiao Weiqing climb the steps with great rhythm, more than twice as fast as her, she was ultimately affected.
When Xiao Weiqing climbed the 230 steps, she could no longer resist and took a step forward, trying to keep up.
however.
In her vision, Xiao Weiqing was getting further and further away from her, leaving her only with a broad back view.
"We're up."
Xiao Weiqing gasped for breath as he stood on the 300th step, wiping the sweat from his forehead. His clothes were already soaked, and his legs felt weak.
"Puppet No. 1 said that we need to climb 300 steps, but it didn't say that we only need to climb 300 steps. Climbing further might be beneficial for the subsequent assessments."
"continue."
Xiao Weiqing did not stop, because once he stopped, it would be difficult to continue, not only physically but also psychologically.
Step out.
My whole body trembled, and I almost fell over.
"This pressure..."
Xiao Weiqing felt his internal organs churning.
With each step, a sweaty footprint was left on the white jade steps. In this way, Xiao Weiqing's legs trembled as he swayed and climbed up.
Gritting his teeth and holding on, he silently counted in his mind.
"303"
"..."
"324!"
"325!"
"..."
"341!"
"..."
"349!"
"It won't work."
Feeling her vision blurring, Xiao Weiqing couldn't hold on any longer. Looking at the 350 steps in front of her, she simply couldn't move her legs.
"What should we do? Give up?"
As time went by, it felt as if a thousand-pound weight was tied to my feet, and I was unable to lift my legs.
Xiao Weiqing pondered for a moment, then his eyes suddenly lit up. He slowly moved with small steps to the front of the steps, turned around and sat down on the 350th step. Then he lay down and rolled over, finally managing to wriggle his body onto the 350th step.
After doing all that, my whole body felt like a lump of mud, and I couldn't move at all.
"The assessment is over."
As the voice of Puppet Number 1 rang out, the pressure on Xiao Weiqing instantly dissipated, and he gasped for breath.
"Yun Xi, final assessment result: 306th floor, no additional reward."
"Xiao Weiqing, final assessment score, 34...350 floors, extra reward, five elemental crystals."
"That doesn't count; he only climbed 349 steps."
Yunxi dragged her tired body up, her cold voice ringing out, filled with anger.
Are you blind?
"Am I on the 350th step?"
"You sat on it."
"What business is it of yours how I got up here?"
"Lord Number One, I trust your decision." Xiao Weiqing ignored Yun Xi.
The first puppet said expressionlessly, "Floor 350."
Upon hearing this...
Yun Xi's cold face was filled with resentment.
Puppet No. 1 glanced at Yun Xi and said, "There's no rule that you have to walk up. Whether you jump up or do a somersault is up to you."
"snort!"
Yun Xi glared fiercely at Xiao Weiqing with cold eyes.
Xiao Weiqing didn't bother to pay attention. Anyway, he had already received the reward. Elemental Crystals were good stuff, with each one worth nearly 10,000 points.
"Go in."
"Each of you choose a room to rest. The second assessment will take place tomorrow."
"Remember, the temple is a sacred place; do not act violently."
The puppet gave the instructions again and glanced at Xiao Weiqing.
Xiao Weiqing responded, "Lord Number One, rest assured, I am a peace-loving person, unlike some people who only know how to launch sneak attacks."
Yun Xi entered the main hall without saying a word.
"Look at that woman, how rude she is."
"Master Number One, you're busy, I'm going in."
Xiao Weiqing turned and entered the main hall, expecting it to be magnificent and resplendent, but instead found himself in a courtyard.
There are four rooms around it.
Xiao Weiqing randomly chose a room to enter and began to recover, as he needed to maintain his peak condition at all times.
......
The next day.
Xiao Weiqing did not wander around; he stayed inside the house to cultivate and await the summons.
Finally, it was almost noon.
Puppet No. 1 came to find him.
"Come with me."
Xiao Weiqing and Puppet No. 1 arrived at the main hall.
The main hall was magnificent, with a starry sky above it and four white jade pillars that seemed to reach the sky, each carved with a lifelike mythical beast.
"You have passed the initial assessment."
"The upcoming formal assessment consists of three parts, all of which carry a risk of death. Do you still wish to participate?"
Yunxi: "Yes."
"Sir Number One, may I ask what I will receive if I pass the assessment?"
Puppet No. 1 said, "By passing the first test, you can obtain cultivation resources, such as elemental crystals."
"By passing the second test, you can choose a treasure."
"The third test depends on the specific circumstances, and I'm not sure what it is. The test has been unpredictable for the past hundred years, and no one has ever truly passed it."
"If I pass the first stage but am not confident I can pass the second, can I give up?"
"Sure. But you can't give up during the assessment period. Even if you die inside, I won't interfere."
Xiao Weiqing nodded, "I'll participate."
"it is good."
The voice just fell.
Puppet No. 1 waved its hand.
The scene changes.
Xiao Weiqing arrived at a cave.
"Defeat the Twin-Tailed Golden Lion to proceed to the next level."
A mechanical electronic voice sounded.
"The next level, not the next stage?" Xiao Weiqing wondered.
A few seconds later.
Inside the cave, sandstorms raged, and spiritual energy began to gather, eventually forming a three-meter-tall golden lion with two tails.
Roar! ~
The two-tailed golden lion roared, its limbs slightly bent, and it instantly sprang out.
"Fire Owl!~"
"boom!"
The two-tailed golden lion was sent flying backwards, struggling to get up.
"Pfft!"
The red dragon, wreathed in golden flames, severed the head of the two-tailed golden lion.
"pass!"
Xiao Weiqing frowned slightly. He was somewhat surprised that his Fire Owl attack hadn't instantly killed the Twin-Tailed Golden Lion.
Ten seconds later.
The wind blows.
A giant, emerald-green mantis materialized, its eyes fixed intently on Xiao Weiqing.
Its forelimbs lashed out like lightning.
Ding! ~
Xiao Weiqing swung his sword to block the attack and used the force to retreat.
"Fire Owl!~"
The mantis was knocked back, its chest scalded with a huge hole, but it still didn't stop bombarding.
Xiao Weiqing pressed down with his palm.
"Flame Sky!~"
The beam of flame pierced through the mantis's head in an instant.
Even so, the mantis did not die. It swung its two sharp forelegs several times before stopping.
"Passed!~"
The sandstorm is rising again.
It seems to be gathering a wolf-shaped demon beast.
"cut!!"
A flash of fire.
Xiao Weiqing didn't wait. The crimson dragon, carrying fire and energy, cleaved the monster in two before it could fully form.
The cave returned to calm.
This time, the electronic voice finally sounded after a full 30 seconds.
"pass!"
"You may proceed to the next assessment."
"You can continue the challenge and receive additional rewards."
Xiao Weiqing asked, "What's the extra reward?"
"Three elemental crystals."
"Continue~"
A wild bull, entirely red and the size of a truck, began to materialize in the cave.
Xiao Weiqing drew his sword, intending to use the same trick again, but unexpectedly a white barrier rose up in front of him, blocking his way.
The white barrier disappeared only after the wild bull monster had fully materialized.
"..."
