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

“Well, this assessment is clearly way too cruel for him. His physical exertion is so great that his arms should already be completely. He wants to regain his senses using pain.” Yi Shui admired the firm determination of Ye Shang in an emotional tone.

While they were talking, Ye Shang roared again before climbing once more as he rushed more than 30 meters at once.

After stopping, he rested on the stone wall, then roared again, and continued climbing upwards, but the distance was getting shorter every time.

On the Danding Cliff, it sounded like there was a beast having a battle with something as every now and then a low-pitched roar would come, this showed how unyielding Ye Shang was.

When Ye Shang reached 2,600 meters, there were others who had already reached 2,700 meters, meanwhile more than a dozen people had given up halfway, and several of them just directly fell off the cliff.

“Ye Shang. Give up if you can’t do it, just come back next year.” Looking at Ye Shang, whose arms were covered with blood and hair soaked in sweat, Tang Tian, ​​who was dozens of meters ahead of Ye Shang, shouted concernedly.

Ye Shang, who was panting, shook his head in negation.

“There are very few people I admire, and you are certainly one of them.” After catching up, Chu Ning, who finally managed to catch up to Ye Shang, said.

“I unintentionally hurt you earlier, sorry.” Ye Shang apologized and continued to climb.

3 hours passed, the person at the top had reached 2,900 meters, while Ye Shang was not far from 2,800 meters. At this point, he had to spend all his strength just to climb every next step.

However, those at the 2,900-meter level were in a similar situation as Ye Shang, as every step felt like they were carrying a few tonnes of weight.

After 4 hours, there were more than a dozen people reaching 3,000 meters. They started to meditate and rest after making it that far. They didn’t continue to climb since they were already almost at their limits. Besides, perhaps less than 30 people would make it to 3,000 meters.

With the increasing intensity, the participants either began to give up or fell off one by one, so fewer and fewer people remained on the Danding Cliff.

After reaching 2,900 meters, Ye Shang saw Tang Tian.

“Good! Go! Let’s climb together.” Tang Tian was doing his best to persistent till now, since he had just entered the Qi-Refining Level 8, he had expended a lot of his energy climbing the 2,900 meters, his body was not far from collapsing.

“Ye Shang, don’t give up! Come on!” Chu Ning, who had arrived side by side with Ye Shang, shouted as well.

Time slipped away little by little, and the three of them were getting closer and closer to the 3,000-meter platform, but there were fewer and fewer participants. Except for the 23 people who had already reached the required mark, the others had either fallen off or given up. Those 23 people were either at Qi-Refining Level 8 or peak of Level 7.

“Come!”

“Don’t give up.”

With the jolting voice of a teenager on the 3,000-meter platform, the rest of the participants began to cheer for the three of them.

“Go!”

“Come on!”

They shouted louder, the three of them were also fortunate since the 3,000-meter platform was a special area on Danding Cliff as the pressure here was relatively weaker, otherwise they might have already fallen off by now.

Later, not only were participants who had already finished climbing the 3,000 meters cheering, the audience watching under the Danding Cliff also became esthetic.

Ye Shang exerted a small amount of Qi in his body and began itching closer to the 3,000-meter platform.

Closer to the time limit, Ye Shang, Tang Tian, and Chu Ning were getting closer and closer to the platform.

“Good, This is the kind of spirit we need in our Medicine Valley.” Chu Lingxiao also became a little excited.

The three of them were clearly the center of everyone’s attention. Tang Tian and Chu Ning were also at their limits. Tang Tian’s cultivation base was still somewhat low, while Chu Ning’s was higher, at the peak of Qi-Refining Level 8, but he had to climb over 1,000 meters extra compared to the others, which was why he was just as tired as the other two.
