Chapter 18 - Climbing to the Extreme (Part II) (1/2)

Not only Tang Tian but others were also shocked by Ye Shang.

The two teenagers who fell down were caught by the people of Medicine Valley riding on the flying beasts and were brought to Chu Lingxiao and others.

“I don’t accept the result.” A teenager walked to Chu Lingxiao and said in a repressed tone.

“Why?” Chu Lingxiao smiled and looked at the boy.

“He didn’t attack others, but instead targeted me.” The teenager looked at the figure of Ye Shang on the Danding Cliff.

“It’s wasn’t a sonic attack, instead a roar to cheer himself up. It cannot be considered an attack. What’s your name? If you can’t accept it, you can continue to climb. There is not much harm done, only an hour has passed, you still have the opportunity.” Chu Lingxiao smiled as he was very surprised by Ye Shang, since he had shocked his fellow competitors without even using a cultivation technique.

“This disciple is called, Chu Ning. Then I shall set off.” Chu Ning bowed to Chu Lingxiao, quickly ran to the side of Danding Cliff, and continued to climb.

“Another kid with a good attitude. Brother Chu, his surname is also Chu!” Yi Shui looked at Chu Lingxiao and said with a flattering smile.

“Ha-ha! He is the youngest son of my eldest brother. I met him a few years ago, but I just couldn’t remember his name.” Chu Lingxiao replied with a smile.

While they were conversing, Ye Shang stopped for a little while, before roaring again, and then began rushing towards the top.

“Damn, what is this kid doing?”

“What the hell?”

Another group of participants who put all of their energy tackling the pressure was shocked by Ye Shang, but luckily no one fell this time.

Chu Ning, who was at the bottom, laughed and shouted. “Go on! Scare them!”

By this point, Ye Shang had climbed an additional 50 meters after roaring as he was not far from reaching two kilometers, but the person at the top had already reached almost 2,300 meters and was in a way better state than Ye Shang.

After a pause, Ye Shang roared and rushed up again, but the distance he climbed was shorter than before.

“Brother Chu, how high do you think this kid can climb?” Yi Shui looked at Chu Lingxiao.

“2,300 to 2,500! His low cultivation base is limiting him too much.” Thinking about it, Chu Lingxiao said in a serious tone.

“Can he reach 2,500? If so he can, pass next year after another year of training.” Tang Qianqian, the only female representative from the peaks, uttered as she couldn’t help but awing at Ye Shang’s endurance.

“That is certain.” Chu Lingxiao nodded in aprehension.

“It won’t be 2,500. It’s more like 3,000.” Liu Yangyu said as he spoke for the very first time today.

“I don’t know where this strange kid came from. He certainly has made the apprentice ceremony a lot more interesting.” Yan Beiji agreed with Liu Yangyu’s words. Ye Shang didn’t seem like someone who would give up easily and the blood handprints staining the entire Dandling mountain clearly justified his enthusiasm.

The participants who rushed to 2,500 meters were looking for stone platforms to rest, while Ye Shang finally reached 2,300 meters in the meantime. After climbing every few steps, he had to stop and rest. As they went higher, the pressure also increased.

By the time Ye Shang climbed to 2,500 meters, the others were already at 2,600 meters. However, it took these people at Qi-Refining Level 7 or 8 more than an hour to climb the 100 meters from where Ye Shang was.

At 2,500 meters, Ye Shang squatted on the platform, took out a small buckskin bag he was carrying with him, and took a sip of some kind of liquid to hydrate and recover his strength.

Even on the resting platform, things weren’t much easier as the immense pressure continued coming down from the top of the mountain, and was affecting Ye Shang constantly.

After taking a break, Ye Shang stood up once again, took out the black iron spear behind him, and made two strokes on both of his arms. He then poured all the wine in the bag onto his arms.

“What is he doing?” Seeing the actions of Ye Shang, everyone watching the ceremony was shocked, Tang Qianqian even stood up.
