It is difficult for these people to understand because it is beyond their cognitive scope.
A group of fourth-level and fifth-level warriors. For them, the peak of the third-level is the limit of the physical body. The fourth-level is cultivating Qi, and the fifth-level is cultivating the true meaning of martial arts. The physical body should not be able to improve.
That's not scientific.
Naturally, Ning Chen wouldn't explain it, he just kept to himself and climbed higher step by step.
Now his physical body has further transformed and become more powerful. Even without using Gang Qi and True Yuan, he can still withstand the pressure of more than 180 steps.
People discovered that Ning Chen's speed suddenly increased. He was struggling before, but now he was striding like a meteor, walking up a dozen steps in the blink of an eye.
After reaching more than two hundred steps, Ning Chen's footsteps slowed down again, but he still moved forward, chasing the people in front of him.
"I wonder if my physique can be further improved?" Ning Chen muttered.
He wanted to know this very much, so he still did not use his Gang Qi and True Yuan at this time, but relied on the power of his physical body to move forward to resist the inexplicable pressure.
...
In the blink of an eye, Ning Chen had walked dozens of steps and was almost at the third hurdle.
Many people stayed in this area. They were stuck at the third hurdle and could no longer move forward. Even Xu You was the same. His steps were slow, he was sweating profusely, and he walked very hard.
Ning Chen has already caught up with Xu You.
Jiang Yun is much better than Xu You. Her face is a little pale, but she is still moving forward and is only one step away from the third hurdle.
"Brother Xu." Ning Chen looked at Xu You.
"Don't worry about me, you continue." Xu You said.
Ning Chen nodded and looked at Jiang Yun in front.
I saw Jiang Yun's body swaying, her body was uneven, and she was walking very hard. She raised one foot and wanted to step on the 270th step.
The process was slow, but she still successfully climbed the 270th step, crossed the third hurdle, and became the second person to cross the third hurdle.
The first one is Xu Xianglong.
A group of people climbed the stairs. As time passed, many people had to stop, including those in the fourth and fifth realms.
Xu Xianglong was not the first person to start climbing, but he was the fastest.
Along the way, he passed three hurdles in succession, and now he was approaching the fourth hurdle, which was the 360th step.
Suddenly, Jiang Yun turned her head and looked at Ning Chen. The two looked at each other. Jiang Yun nodded, straightened her body suddenly, and continued to move forward.
"Huh?" Ning Chen raised his eyebrows, a little surprised.
What happened just now?
Jiang Yun seemed to suddenly have an extra energy in her body, which helped her resist the pressure. She successfully took this step and began to continue climbing to hit the fourth hurdle.
Others were also surprised, and Jiang Yun's performance also exceeded their expectations.
"What's going on with Jiang Yun?"
"Are all of these monsters?"
People beat their chests and beat their feet.
Ning Chen made a cheering gesture to Xu You, and then started to move forward. He wanted to give it a try and see if he could overcome the three hurdles with only the strength of his physical body.
...
This process is difficult.
Because every step he takes puts great pressure on Ning Chen's body.
Even if his body further transformed and became stronger, with his bones almost turning into gold, it was still a bit unbearable...
"Level 250...Level 260..."
Unknowingly, Ning Chen had reached level 260. He bent down and felt uncomfortable all over.
Moreover, I didn't feel my physical body improve this time, as if it had truly reached its limit, and even with such huge pressure, I couldn't improve it again.
"It seems that the transformation of the physical body has its limits. At least with my current cultivation level, it is difficult to improve it again." Ning Chen sighed secretly, but did not give up.
Even if his body would not undergo another transformation and could not improve again, he would still go all out to reach the 270th step.
This is competing with yourself.
When he reached the 269th step, Ning Chen could no longer hold on and almost fell to his knees.
Some people began to cynicize again, feeling that Ning Chen had finally reached his limit.
"Ning Chen is dying."
"Although he reached the 269th step, he stopped there."
"Xu Xianglong and Jiang Yun are still powerful. Ning Chen's reputation is greater than his strength. He is rumored to be so powerful and evil, so..."
However, before these people could finish speaking, Ning Chen took another step and successfully climbed the 270th step.
He succeeded.
Relying purely on the strength of the physical body, I climbed the two hundred and seventy steps!
"I did it."
Ning Chen laughed heartily and did not continue to force himself. He mobilized Gang Qi and used Gang Qi to assist him to resist the pressure.
In an instant, he felt relaxed all over, and most of the pressure on his body disappeared. Not only could he stand up straight, but it was also much easier to move forward.
Ning Chen straightened his back and moved forward step by step, his speed getting faster.
"Ah this..."
A group of people were dumbfounded and felt their faces burning.
When Ning Chen reached the second hurdle, they ridiculed Ning Chen and sang bad words one after another, but in the end they were slapped in the face.
Now they couldn't hold it back and once again ridiculed Ning Chen and badmouthed him. As a result, they were slapped in the face again before they even finished speaking.
After hitting the left cheek, I slapped the right cheek, and my head was swollen!
For a moment, a group of people shut up, but still stared at Ning Chen. They wanted to know how far Ning Chen could go...
...
"Xu Xianglong has passed the fourth hurdle."
"too strong."
"How he did it is simply unbelievable. We couldn't even get past three hurdles, but he came from behind and passed the fourth hurdle."
"Hey, is this the difference between people?"
I don’t know how long it took, but Xu Xianglong passed the fourth hurdle and became the first person to cross the fourth hurdle.
This caused many people to exclaim.
After a while.
"Ning Chen caught up with Jiang Yun, he walked so fast."
"What's going on? Why does Ning Chen do this again and again, obviously looking like he's dying, but suddenly he recovers, becomes relaxed, and climbs faster..."
When Ning Chen caught up with Jiang Yun, people exclaimed and commented again.
But this time no one dared to be weird anymore, for fear of being slapped in the face again.
At this time, Ning Chen and Jiang Yun had surpassed the three hundred steps and were almost walking side by side. Ning Chen sensed carefully and was a little surprised: "I feel the true meaning of martial arts in you. Have you already entered the fifth level?"
If Jiang Yun has already entered the fifth level, then it can explain why she was able to cross the third hurdle before and suddenly it became easy from difficulty.
Jiang Yun shook her head: "No, I'm still far away from the fifth level. I just happen to have a ray of sword intent in my body."
It was precisely with this ray of sword intent that Jiang Yun was able to reach this point.
Ning Chen was stunned and did not ask further questions.
She has her own secrets, and Jiang Yun also has Jiang Yun's secrets.
The two walked side by side, at the same speed, moving forward step by step towards the fourth hurdle...
