Chapter 16: The flames burn me, and I also take a leisurely stroll
"Alright, now let's test the perseverance. Lu Yunfeng announced.
On the left side of the platform, there is a staircase made of jade, with a total of nine stairs, which is the Flame Staircase.
This is the Lu family spent a lot of money and asked the master of inscription refining to refine it, and it was engraved with a wonderful inscription, which was very mysterious.
As soon as a person walks up, the inscription on the stairs inspires and exudes a scorching aura that envelops the person walking up.
People are like being in the midst of flames, and they have to endure the pain and torment of burning their bodies.
It's not a real flame, but it's no different from what you feel like in a real flame.
Moreover, there are nine steps, each hotter than the other.
This time, the test is to compare who has been on it for a long time and who can climb the ladder.
The higher and the longer it is, the stronger the willpower.
"I'll come first. ”
A sixteen-year-old disciple of the Lu family walked towards the 'Flame Staircase' first, and when he stepped on the staircase, the entire Flame Staircase suddenly shone brightly. A fiery red glow flashed.
The young man's face changed dramatically, and he seemed to be in some pain, but then he gritted his teeth and stepped out again, ascending the second staircase, and then the third.
At this point, he stopped and began to resist the pain of the flames.
But after just ten breaths, his body began to tremble, his face was pale and hideous, and it was obvious that he was in great pain.
After ten more breaths, he screamed, could no longer resist, and jumped down the 'Flame Staircase'.
"Lu Li, the third step, twenty breaths. ”
Lu Yunfeng announced.
Then, the children of the Lu family stepped forward to test one by one.
But most of them are on the third and fourth tiers, and the time is only about twenty or thirty breaths.
"I'll try!"
Lu Chuan walked out, glanced at Lu Ming, sneered, and stepped on the stairs.
He was very fast, did not stop at all, and stepped directly on the fifth step.
Then he stopped on the fifth staircase, a full fifty-two breaths.
This amazed everyone.
"Well, it's not a loss to be Lu Yao's eldest brother, my younger sister is talented, and my brother is not bad, he can actually stay on the fifth step for fifty-two breaths. ”
Duanmu Qing praised.
"Haha, Duanmu Messenger has won the prize. ”
The Great Elder laughed.
Lu Chuan smiled, triumphant.
Then, the test continued, and there were several people with very good willpower, and even two of them were not weaker than Lu Chuan, one stayed on the fifth step for fifty-two breaths, and the other for fifty-five breaths.
But none of them dared to step on the sixth ladder.
Soon, on the platform, only Lu Yao and Lu Ming were left.
Lu Yao glanced at Lu Ming, and then walked towards the 'Flame Staircase'.
At this moment, everyone's eyes were focused on Lu Yao.
Lu Yao has too much aura on his body, and everyone wants to see how Lu Yao's willpower is.
Talent is high, willpower is not necessarily strong.
Lu Yao lightly lifted the lotus step and stepped on the first staircase, and then stepped towards the second staircase.
Step after step, without the slightest pause, he stepped directly onto the sixth step in one breath.
The sixth ladder, which has surpassed everyone before, everyone in the audience held their breath and watched seriously.
However, Lu Yao did not stop, and took another step to step on the seventh ladder.
"Lu Yao actually stepped on the seventh ladder, which is really amazing. ”
"Let's see how long she can last. ”
Everyone speculated.
But soon, there was an answer.
Eighty-six breaths.
Lu Yao stayed on the seventh ladder for eighty-six breaths before jumping off the ladder.
"Amazing, really amazing, I didn't expect Lu Yao to not only have outstanding talent, but also have such strong willpower, what a proud woman in the sky. ”
"No, that's the seventh ladder, it's not the previous one. ”
There was a lot of discussion on the field.
Lu Yao's face was flat, as if he had done something insignificant, he turned around and walked to the side, and when he walked past Lu Ming, there was contempt in his eyes.
"See? That's the gap between you and me. ”
The soft voice echoed in Lu Ming's ears.
"Really? You have to remember that. A sneer appeared at the corner of Lu Ming's mouth and he walked towards the Flame Ladder.
"Don't do it yourself!" the Grand Elder sneered on the main seat.
"You say, how many steps can Lu Ming step on?"
On the platform, Lu Chuan asked the other youths with a smile.
"In my opinion, at most a second ladder. ”
"I see, I can't stay on the second staircase for ten breaths. ”
Several of the other youths laughed.
But as soon as they finished speaking, the smile on their faces froze, and their eyes couldn't help but widen.
Because at this time, Lu Ming had already stepped directly over the second staircase and stepped directly on the third staircase, but he didn't have the slightest intention of stopping, and stepped towards the fourth staircase.
And then there's the fifth, the sixth...
When Lu Ming stepped into the seventh step, he still didn't stop, stepped out and stepped onto the eighth.
However, this was not the end of Lu Ming, at this time, he raised his steps again and stepped out.
The hearts of the people in the audience seemed to hang up with Lu Ming's step, and then, when Lu Ming stepped on the ninth step, he fell down heavily.
Then, there was a violent noise.
"God, Lu Ming actually stepped on the ninth ladder, is there a mistake. ”
"Even if you step on it, what if you can hold on to it, if you can't hold on, you will come down with a breath, then it will be a shame. ”
The Great Elder said even more coldly: "If you don't measure yourself, you can't bear that kind of pain after a while, your heart will be broken, and you will become an idiot, that's fun." ”
"Naru'er!"
"Young Master!"
Offstage, Li Ping and Qiu Yue, their hands clenched, were in cold sweat, and their eyes were full of worry.
But, slowly, the discussion on the field became quieter.
Because ten breaths have passed by this time.
Lu Ming actually stood on the ninth staircase, standing for ten breaths, and still hadn't come down.
Obviously, ten breaths is just the beginning.
Time passed slowly, twenty breaths, thirty breaths...
Soon, it exceeded a hundred breaths, but Lu Ming was still on it.
He was slender and stood on the ninth staircase, like a sharp sword.
The audience was silent.
"I think he's mentally broken, can't he be dead on the full?"
The Great Elder said coldly.
But at this time, Lu Ming smiled, and his voice came out far away: "Lu Yao, what you just said is right, this is the gap between you and me." ”
This sentence was not only like a slap in the face of the Great Elder, but also on Lu Yao's face.
This sentence was given to Lu Ming by Lu Yao just now, and now, Lu Ming gave it back to her with facts.
Lu Yao looked at Lu Ming on the flame ladder, her beautiful eyes flickered, but she quickly regained her composure, and said: "Lu Ming, you have been a waste all your life, despised by others, but your mentality is good and quite resistant, but in the path of martial arts, willpower is only the foundation, talent is the main thing, and next, I will let you see the real gap between you and me." ”
As soon as these words came out, the audience was stunned.
Think about it, Lu Ming is a waste, he has been ridiculed all these years, and his mind is firm, that is also normal.
"I see!" Duanmu Qing scoffed.
"Is that really the case?" Mu Lan showed an inexplicable smile on her face, she was a little looking forward to what kind of expression Duanmu Qing, the Great Elder and the others would have when they saw Lu Ming's performance later.
On the stairs, Lu Ming's eyes were calm, he smiled faintly, and walked down the flame stairs like a leisurely stroll.
"Alright, now the first round is over, start the second round, check the pulse, and carry it up to the altar of the pulse test. The Second Elder announced.
Subsequently, more than a dozen big men moved up to an altar one meter and five high, and the altar was engraved with dense inscriptions.
