"Is this the entrance to Yingtian Tower?" After walking to the stone monument, Ji You found a staircase extending underground. Just standing here, she couldn't see the end of the staircase. She could only see ten steps at most.
The rest of the steps were plunged into darkness. And under this staircase was the first floor of the nine-story Yingtian Tower.
"Brother Ji, I'm going to take the first step." After saying this, Bai Fan walked directly towards the first floor of Yingtian Tower. After a moment, his figure disappeared from Ji You's eyes.
"Sister Bingyun, I want to go down and take a look. How about you wait for me up here?" Ji You wanted to go down, but before going down, she had to make arrangements for Ying Bingyun who came with her.
OK.
Ying Bingyun also knew that if she entered Yingtian Tower at this moment, she would probably be carried out immediately, so she directly said: "Brother Ji, just go and I'll go chat with Grandpa Chen. But you have to hurry up.
, I’m bored here alone.”
"I know, I'll be back as soon as possible." After saying this, Ji You stepped on the stairs extending downwards. Just stepping on the first step, a pressure was exerted on him.
Ji You's body. Just taking this step, Ji You felt that his body was a lot heavier, but it was not a serious problem.
After taking the second step, the pressure suddenly increased. In an instant, Ji You frowned, his face changed slightly, and an indescribable feeling filled his whole body.
Up and down. However, after taking this step, Ji You also understood that if he wanted to go to the first floor of Yingtian Tower, the first thing he had to pass was this staircase.
"I saw that guy Bai Fan walking so easily before, but I didn't expect that this staircase is not an easy challenge!" Ji You thought to himself, and then continued to take steps towards the top of Yingtian Tower.
Walking to the first floor. Every time, his figure disappeared. After Ying Bingyun could no longer see Ji You's figure, he walked to Mr. Chen's side and chatted with Mr. Chen...
But when Ji You reached the end of the 18th floor, a sharp pain appeared in his knees. This sudden pain made Ji You's legs soften and he squatted down. If he hadn't reacted quickly,
, I’m afraid I’ll just kneel down on this ladder!
At this moment, Ji You was surrounded by ordinary-looking walls and nothing else except for the faint lights.
"Every nine steps, the pressure will double, and on steps nine times higher, the pressure will be even more terrifying." After taking eighteen steps, Ji You figured out some things about this step, but even if he knew
These are of little use. As long as you continue to move forward, these pressures are inevitable.
Ji You gritted his teeth and casually took another step. In addition to the pressure, the more he moved forward, the more pain Ji You felt in his body. This pain seemed to be coming from the bones to the body.
The surface is moving slowly. If it were an ordinary person, he would have fainted from the pain by now.
But Ji You was different. Not only had he experienced the suffering in the Wangchuan River, he had also been treated by a ghost doctor before. If he wanted to compare, he felt that the pain caused by the ghost doctor's treatment was worse than the pain on this ladder.
What it brought to him was much stronger.
After only pausing for a moment, Ji You raised his right foot and took another step forward. But when he took the step, Ji You was able to stop the circulation of profound energy in his body. When he came here,
Before Yingtian Tower, Mr. Jiang told him that if possible, try not to use profound energy to reach the first level.
At that time, he didn't understand what these words meant, but now he knew. Although he didn't know why he did this, Ji You knew one thing clearly at that time, that is, Mr. Jiang would not harm him. So, he immediately did it
The decision was made, that is, to reach the first floor of Yingtian Tower by relying only on one's own body and will without using Xuan Qi.
When he took the twenty-seventh step, a change happened again. This time it was not just the pressure on his body and the pain that filled his body. The walls on both sides actually erupted with terrifying mysterious energy, like arrows.
The arrow passed through Ji You's body. Although no actual wounds were left on the body, the severe pain was worse than being penetrated by a real arrow.
Thousands of arrows pierce the heart!
If you want to describe this feeling, you can only use these four words to describe it.
Next to the Yingtian Stone Tablet, Mr. Chen, who was originally chatting with Ying Bingyun, suddenly turned his head and cast his gaze at the entrance of the stairs. His eyes seemed to have directly seen Ji You walking on the stairs.
After watching for a moment, Mr. Chen shook his head lightly and whispered to himself: "How many years have passed, and here comes another guy who wants to walk up the stairs without using Xuan Qi. Mr. Jiang, you asked him to do it
Did I read it?" Ying Bingyun didn't hear what Mr. Chen said. In fact, even if she heard it, she didn't understand what Mr. Chen was talking about.
At this time, Ji You had already walked thirty-five steps, and blood was already overflowing from the corner of her mouth. Although there was no actual damage to her body, the severe pain was definitely just pain. Just that kind of pressure,
It can hurt people, not to mention the pain of being pierced by thousands of arrows starting from the twenty-seventh step.
On the thirty-fifth staircase, Ji You paused for a long time, and finally took a deep breath before taking steps.
"Humph!" A muffled groan came directly from Ji You's mouth, and his eyes widened as if he was enduring something.
"Pfft!" In the end, he couldn't hold it back, and Ji You spurted out a mouthful of blood, and then gasped for air. When he took the thirty-sixth step, Ji You felt that all the bones in his body were being crushed by that.
It was like being crushed by the terrifying pressure. Although there were still no scars on the surface of the body, Ji You's body was full of scars at this moment.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to spit out a mouthful of blood directly.
"It seems that I have really had a great time during this period, and I can't even bear this little pain!" Ji You slowly stood up straight and murmured to himself. If others heard what Ji You said,
, I will probably give him two words directly, crazy!
It is a once-in-a-thousand-year encounter, even legendary students are moving their profound energy through this staircase, but Ji You actually stopped the circulation of his profound energy and walked on this staircase under such circumstances. If this is not a lunatic, what is it?
Now Ji You's clothes are wet with sweat, and even if he stands upright, he looks a little weak. If it weren't for the perseverance shining in his eyes, he would have fainted. Ji You's spirit can bear this.
It was a pain, but his body couldn't do it. In other words, his body was too weak in front of this ladder.
This time, he paused for an unknown amount of time before taking another step towards the stairs below...
"Mr. Chen, this kid just collapsed at the thirty-eighth staircase. Although he is still conscious, he doesn't even have the strength to speak. So I fought him out and will take him to the hospital building now.
"Not long after, a middle-aged man ran up to Mr. Chen carrying a guy who was completely weak and unable to move.
"Brother Ji!" Ying Bingyun shouted before Mr. Chen could say anything. The guy being carried by the middle-aged man was none other than Ji You, who was about to walk towards the first floor of Yingtian Tower.
At this moment, Ji You's eyes are still open, and there is not much light in them. He has not fainted and is very conscious, but his body can no longer move. Even speaking is difficult for him at this moment.
matter.
For a moment, the students around him laughed. They didn't know how long it had been since they had seen someone who couldn't even reach the first floor and fell on the stairs. However, if they knew, Ji You didn't use any force at all.
Xuan Qi, then I’m afraid I won’t be able to laugh...
Mr. Chen looked at Ji You, shook his head and said, "You don't need to take him to the hospital. You can just throw him to Mr. Jiang. That old guy knows how to deal with it."
After listening to Mr. Chen's words, the middle-aged man nodded slightly, and then looked directly at Ji You heading towards Mr. Jiang's residence. After Ying Bingyun said goodbye to Mr. Chen, he immediately followed, and after Ji You was carried
Even after leaving, the laughter did not stop. It is estimated that this "interesting story" will spread throughout Yingtian Academy before long.
"You'er, how do you feel now?" After Ji You was sent here, Mr. Jiang began to treat Ji You's injuries. With his ability, it didn't take long for Ji You to regain some strength, at least he could
Speak.
"Thank you for your trouble, Master. There's nothing serious about me. I'm just out of strength." Ji You heard Jiang Lao's words and said, "This time, I only walked to the thirty-eighth staircase. I want to leave it like this."
It will probably take some time to get to the first floor." The further down the stairs are, the more difficult it becomes. This time Ji You can take thirty-eight steps. Next time, even if it is more, it will not be much more.
"It's okay, but it won't be long before there will be many voices laughing at you in this school."
"Oh, so what's the matter? What others think of me has nothing to do with me. I just need to do what I should do."
Before Ji You finished speaking, a soft voice came over: "That's right, you don't have to care about other people's opinions. No matter what they think, what does it have to do with me? What does it have to do with you? It's just like what you think
How can a sparrow know the ambition of a swan?"
When the voice fell, a man dressed as a scholar was already standing next to Ji You. This man was the scholar who was immersed in reading in the crowd and heard what Ji You said.
