Chapter 732 (1/2)

Chapter 732: 732

Long Chen and the others were still neck and neck . They arrived on the 666th stair together . Long Chen was breathing a bit heavily now . But he saw that Shui Guanzhi and the others didn’t seem the least bit tired .

That surprised him . They truly were worthy of being the Four Heavenly Geniuses . This kind of perseverance was admirable . Even he felt that some of his negative emotions were starting to stir, and he had to force them down .

What he didn’t know was that he was the most shocking one to the vice sect master and the monastery heads .

It had to be known that the Heavenly Daos would block ten percent of the Netherworld Heaven Staircase’s power for rank one Celestials . As for rank two Celestials, thirty percent of the power would be blocked .

But Long Chen, who wasn’t a Celestial, was still neck and neck with the rank two Celestials . That was monstrous . Even those old fellows with so much experience had their jaws drop .

The vice sect master was shocked as well, but he put on a calm expression . However, in truth, he was wondering whether he should call the sect master over . Such a fellow might be worth directly sending to the Central Plains .

“Hahaha, this thing’s not bad!” laughed Zhao Wuji as he took out a warhammer from his ball of light .

The hammer head was huge, even larger than a table, and earthen runes shone on it . The powerful pressure coming from it showed that it was a terrifying heavy weapon .

“A middle grade Enchanted weapon and one with earth element runes . Zhao Wuji really is lucky!”

Heavy weapons were already rare, and for the runes carved onto it to match Zhao Wuji’s element, it was practically tailor-made for him .

“Hahaha, the final treasure will be mine!” Zhao Wuji was filled with confidence now .

Shui Guanzhi and the others’ hearts sank . Zhao Wuji had always been a power-type fighter . Now this heavy weapon would cause his power to increase explosively .

“Hmph . ” Shui Guanzhi snorted and also reached into his ball of light . But this time, his luck wasn’t so good . It was a set of armor and a metallic kind at that . It was not suited to him at all .

Furthermore, it was just a low grade Enchanted item . It wasn’t useful at all . Shui Guanzhi was dissatisfied, but he acted as if he didn’t care and put it away .

Zhong Wuyan’s luck was not bad, and she obtained a middle grade Enchanted sword . However, it wasn’t useful to her, as she possessed weapons that were more suitable to her .

Yue Qianshan received a secret tome about formations . It was useless to him, but it wouldn’t be useless to his sect .

If you were unable to use something, you could exchange it with the Dao Sect for treasures better suited to you .

Long Chen reached into his ball of light . This time, he didn’t pull it out immediately for fear of embarra.s.sing himself again . He felt it carefully . It appeared long, and it didn’t feel bad .

When he pulled out that long thing, he couldn’t help being stunned . It was actually a belt .

The belt was new, and it had been made of black silk . It was extremely high-end and grand, and then… and then there was nothing else to say about it .

The odds for the 666th stair were as follows: one percent high grade, sixty percent middle grade, thirty-eight percent low grade, and one percent trash . To have pulled out trash twice, his luck was truly heaven-defying .

Long Chen didn’t particularly care . He directly wrapped the belt around his waist . In truth, this belt truly did match his disciple robes and made him appear more handsome .

“Trash,” sneered Shui Guanzhi . It was unknown whether he was talking about Long Chen or the belt .

“Yes, but I have no choice . If I wasn’t forced, I definitely wouldn’t accompany trash like you,” said Long Chen helplessly .

The light b.a.l.l.s disappeared and they had no more time to fight with words . They once more began rus.h.i.+ng onward . But now, their speed had clearly dropped .

Long Chen felt like he was wading through mud . The resistance was extremely high, and it was exhausting .

Moreover, he didn’t know whether it was actually exhausting or just a misperception . He had to constantly circulate his own strength to keep an equilibrium with the exhaustion .

Doing that required constant adjustment . He couldn’t allow himself to get nervous or panicked, let alone be invaded by his negative emotions . The true trial only started now .

While Long Chen was pus.h.i.+ng forward, the vice sect master was lost in thought . It should be essentially impossible for a genius to pull out trash twice . It had never happened before, and it shouldn’t be a coincidence . But if it wasn’t a coincidence…
