C136 (2/2)

Su Ling frowned as he looked at the wound on his arm. He subconsciously raised his head to look at the sky and saw thousands of bamboo leaves flying towards him. Those bamboo leaves had become very strange. The edges of the leaves were very sharp, like a knife that had been opened.

”I managed to walk the last fifty steps smoothly! However, from the start of the 51st step, the bamboo leaf actually turned into a knife. ”

Su Ling frowned as his figure changed. He used his Star Steps to dodge the bamboo leaves attack. However, Su Ling could not avoid the bamboo leaves because they were too numerous.

”Zzzz, zzzz, zzzz …”

The bamboo leaves continued to land on Su Ling's body and cut his body.

This was because he had only taken 51 steps, and was still far away from 100 steps. If the bamboo leaves continued to attack him, he would not be able to take 100 steps.

Thinking of this, Su Ling immediately shouted out and attempted to use the mystical Qi in his body to defend against the attacks from the bamboo leaves! However, when Su Ling released his mystical Qi, the bamboo leaves' attack power instantly increased by several times, directly breaking through Su Ling's defense and splitting his body apart.

Within the Heart Punishing Bamboo Forest, Su Ling's body was covered in wounds and blood kept flowing out. The more he resisted, the more fierce the bamboo leaves became.

”The stronger my fighting spirit is, the stronger my Bamboo Leaf's attack is. If I were to retract my fighting spirit and even suppress my mystical Qi, would those bamboo leaves still attack me? ”

Su Ling instantly understood what was going on and quickly retracted his fighting intent and suppressed the Xuan Qi within his body. In an instant, the bamboo leaves became as slow as a maple leaf floating in the air. Su Ling stretched out his hand and caught one of the leaves. Only now did he realize that the bamboo leaves no longer had any offensive power.

”So that's how it is! These bamboo leaves, will only attack those who have the will to fight, and those who already possess the strength to fight. ”

Su Ling laughed softly.

After breaking through the first stage, Su Ling walked forward once again. He took the 52nd step. When he took this step, the environment around him did not change at all.

Very quickly, Su Ling reached the 60th step. When he continued forward, the surrounding bamboo forest was instantly set ablaze. The terrifying Earth Fire Snake swam within the bamboo forest.

”Roar!”

That fire serpent was like a real snake, tearing towards Su Ling.

But this time, Su Ling's heart was extremely firm. He allowed the fire snake to attack him and bite his body.

The intense burning sensation made Su Ling let out a light cry. The pain from the fire snake biting him was also very real. At that moment, Su Ling even felt that this fire snake really existed. But very quickly, Su Ling rejected this notion. No matter how that fire snake attacked him, he would always move forward with a firm heart.

As time passed, Su Ling's arm had already been burnt to a crisp. He was sweating profusely, but he was not afraid because he was certain that everything around him was fake.

Very quickly, Su Ling took his 71st step. The fire snake that was biting Su Ling's body disappeared with a ”hu” sound.

Replacing it was a glacier. Yes, in Su Ling's line of sight, a world of ice and snow appeared out of nowhere.

At the same time, the shoes on Su Ling's feet exploded with a boom, causing Su Ling to be barefoot.

Su Ling glanced at the ground beneath his feet and still gritted his teeth as he walked towards the glacier. The freezing ice pierced the soles of Su Ling's feet, but Su Ling's heart remained firm.

Above the iceberg, Su Ling's legs were white from the cold and he even had chilblains. However, Su Ling did not show any intention of retreating. He was still walking.

When he took the 81st step, he spat out blood and the glacier under his feet disappeared. However, he had aged more than 10 years, becoming an old man with snow-white hair. The skin on his face was extremely wrinkled.

He coughed out some blood, but he continued to move forward. His mind and body were both tired, so he didn't stop.
