Chapter 35: Climbing the Cliff
Forging Bone Cliff, located on the west side of the floating island, is a strange and rugged dangerous place, as high as hundreds of zhang. Fierce winds blow here all year round, stabbing people's skin and causing pain, and the monks standing on the top of the cliff will be blown off the cliff if they are not careful. The most bizarre thing is the gravity here, the entire Forging Bone Cliff is shrouded in a distorted gravity field, the gravity is unevenly distributed, there is no gravity in some places, and there are dozens of times the gravity to climb It requires huge physical strength and agile physique, so this cliff has become a place for the inner disciples to forge their bodies, but for the teenagers who participated in the second round of trials, it is undoubtedly difficult.
At this moment, the area around the Forging Bone Cliff was already surrounded by a bustling crowd, with more than 10,000 people, and more people were under the arrangement of the relevant personnel of the Divine Mansion to pay attention to this round of trials through mirror occult arts. The closest to the Bone Forging Cliff were less than three hundred teenagers who passed through the Soul Refining Bridge in the first round, and everyone was more or less nervous on their faces, after all, this Bone Forging Cliff was also a very famous and dangerous place in the human world, and if they were not careful, they would fall off the cliff, although they had the protection of the elders and disciples of the Divine Mansion, they would not lose their lives, but it also meant that they had completely lost the opportunity to enter the inner gate of the Divine Mansion that they had been longing for for more than ten years.
However, more eyes were not on these teenagers, but on the top of the Bone Forging Cliff, three blurred purple figures, with amazing power that shocked everyone below. The teenagers looked up at the three figures, and vaguely saw their young and resolute faces.
"It seems that he is not a few years older than us, but he is already a strong man in the peeping stage, is this the disciple of the inner sect of the Divine Mansion?" Wang Yulei, a black-clothed young man with a long stick on his back, whispered, the fierce battle intent in his eyes burned, although he has only just stepped into the delusion period now, but he is young, and youth is the capital of his hard work. Given hundreds of years, he believed that he could get to that point with his own talent and hard work. The same thought came to the minds of the other teenagers, and they faintly looked forward to this trial of the Bone Forging Cliff.
Suddenly, there was a commotion in the crowd, and everyone looked over, only to see a thin dark golden figure stumbling out of the crowd, seeing that everyone was looking at him, a little embarrassed ruddy appeared on his face, it was Ye Cheng who came in a hurry. Because he rested late and woke up late, it happened that Ling Shenjue and his wife were not there, so they had to wake up Ling Xi, who was sleeping in a daze, and stumbled over, but finally arrived in time. The crowd seemed to explode and discuss, and this young man who was extremely dazzling in the first round of trials became the focus of everyone's discussion for a while.
Ye Cheng was embarrassed, when had he ever encountered such a battle, although there were tens of millions of onlookers in the first round, he was on the Soul Refining Bridge at that time, and he didn't care much, but now he was facing everyone's fiery eyes, and Ye Cheng, who had never dealt with so many people, was at a loss. Ye Cheng felt that his face was involuntarily feverish, and inadvertently saw a tiger-headed, burly, and poorly dressed young man who was also looking at him, and subconsciously hid behind him, and the burly body of the young man just covered Ye Cheng's thin body. The young man was stunned for a moment, then touched his head, did not dodge, and showed a silly smile to everyone, and that cute appearance made everyone laugh. Sure enough, it's better to be young!
Ye Cheng saw that everyone's eyes were blocked by the burly young man, and he breathed a long sigh of relief, as if he had put down the burden of a thousand catties, and it was really uncomfortable to be watched by everyone like this. Ye Cheng felt the burly young man's solid back, and inexplicably felt very reliable.
"My name is Ye Cheng, thank you!" Ye Cheng poked his head out of the burly boy's figure and said, the burly boy was eight feet tall, a lot taller than him, he seemed to be a real child next to the burly boy.
"My name is Shi Kui. Shi Kui was obviously not good at dealing with people, and after saying his name, he stood there and smirked, as if smirking was the only way for him to solve all the difficult problems.
Ye Cheng also smiled, and was about to speak, when he suddenly found that the restless crowd quieted down, and when he looked up, the three figures on the top of the Forging Bone Cliff were like flying butterflies, slowly falling. When it landed, I looked at three young men, wearing purple luxurious robes, embroidered with golden silk threads and a few flowing clouds, simple, but revealing the aura of dignity and transcendence.
The young man looked around for a moment, looked at the teenagers who were taking the exam, and the cultivation of the peep period made him sit down and never forget: "Since everyone is almost there, let's start." The rules of this round of trials are simple: climbing to the top before sunset is considered a stock, and falling or exceeding the time is considered a failure. This bone forging cliff is not so simple, its characteristics are believed to have been heard of by you, then, now according to the order of the previous round, a group of ten people, climb in turn, and start now. The young man's eyes were indifferent, his speech was very concise, and he didn't even introduce himself, perhaps he thought from the bottom of his heart that most of these newly recruited disciples would not be able to pass the test of this opening ceremony.
Ye Cheng didn't care about the tone of this inner disciple, it didn't mean that others didn't care, as a talented genius, who didn't have a little arrogance, there were already a few young people with a trace of anger in their eyes, but the young man didn't think so, and then the three of them stepped on the void and flew up the bone forging cliff. This hand made the eyes of the teenagers below shine again.
According to the order of the first round, Ye Cheng happened to be placed first in the second group, and Shi Kui was also coincidentally in the second group, the two looked at each other and smiled, and it was really fateful.
Wang Yulei, who was carrying a long stick, walked in front of the bone forging cliff, and the others followed in turn, even the seemingly weak girl Hu Xueli did not flinch for a minute, stood in front of the towering bone forging cliff, and took a deep breath. Coincidentally, ten people moved at the same time, like a vigorous hare, grabbed a protruding stone, and climbed up slowly, Wang Yulei took the lead, and the remaining nine people were not far behind, catching up, and the distance was very small. Ye Cheng was stunned for a moment, judging from the current climbing speed of ten people, this Bone Forging Cliff was also very ordinary at the beginning.
So he quietly walked to the Bone Forging Cliff, looking at the ten people who were climbing higher and higher above, and the fighting spirit in his eyes was high. In terms of agility, he is confident that he will not lose to anyone in the forging level.
"Come on, I'll be waiting for you up there. Ye Cheng turned around and grinned at Shi Kui not far from him, and the other party also responded with a silly smile. However, the young man who was in the group with Ye Cheng was beating a drum in his heart, and the other party was a monster who could even pass through the tenfold Soul Refining Bridge.
Ye Cheng no longer hesitated, jumped up, grabbed a protruding stone, kicked his feet on the cliff wall, threw himself up with his hands as a fulcrum, and then quickly grabbed the rock crack above to fix his body, this step was enough to pull him away from the young man who was still in a daze below by nearly eight feet. Unable to care less about being shocked by Ye Cheng's ape-like posture, the other nine people rushed to catch up, wanting to chase Ye Cheng back from the distance. Shi Kui's burly figure looked a little clumsy in this environment, and he faintly fell to the end for a while, but with the advantage of long hands and long legs, he would not be thrown away. All the teenagers climbed up one by one, and the trial began to heat up.
Ye Cheng grabbed the place on the rock wall that could be climbed, once he saw it, he didn't hesitate for half a minute, and made a decisive move, the people who saw the amazing large movement were frightened, and if they were not careful, they would fall from the cliff. But Ye Cheng didn't seem to be aware of it, and he was still carrying out his almost performance climbing technique, and the agile ape was no more than that. That is, under Ye Cheng's crazy chase, Wang Yulei and the others above are getting closer and closer, and the people above can't help but be a little anxious when they see Ye Cheng's still crazy performance in the second round, and the speed of climbing up is a little faster, but the distance between Ye Cheng and them is rapidly narrowing, it is difficult to imagine that a teenager at the beginning of forging body has a physical agility that surpasses that of most of the advanced level of forging body and even entering the delusion breaking period.
"Ahh Ye Cheng looked at the falling figures of several people, fixed himself, and watched the changes. I saw a few purple streamers passing by, and the few people who fell disappeared, looking down, it turned out that they all suddenly appeared on the ground, squatting on the ground with palpitations, and the three purple figures stood indifferently on the side, as if they had never moved.
Ye Cheng was stunned for a moment, looked up, and saw that several people who were still on the cliff not far away were frowning, and the climbing action became extremely difficult, as if he was carrying an invisible mountain, and even Wang Yulei was sweating profusely, although he still maintained his lead, but every step forward had to be considered for a long time. Ye Cheng was vigilant, his hands holding the cliff wall unconsciously pushed harder, and his vigorous pace immediately slowed down greatly, and every time he climbed, he had to fix his body before he continued to move on to the next step. Shi Kui and the others also seemed to feel something, although with Ye Cheng's current speed, it was not difficult for them to catch up with him, but no one ventured, but followed Ye Cheng and slowed down.
Suddenly, Ye Cheng's face changed, and a huge force pulled his body down violently, and he grabbed the cliff wall with all his might, bringing down a lot of rubble, but fortunately he didn't fall down like the previous few people. The gravity of this area has suddenly increased several times, no wonder those people fell off the cliff when they were caught off guard. Ye Cheng adjusted his breathing and glanced back at Shi Kui, Shi Kui gave him a bright smile without knowing it, Ye Cheng was amused and speechless, turned his head and continued to climb up. Ye Cheng's abnormality also reminded several people under him, except for two teenagers who really couldn't balance the change in gravity and fell off the cliff, the others were finally in danger, but Shi Kui's performance was very surprising. I saw that after he stepped into the area where gravity had skyrocketed, he was just stunned, and then as if he had discovered something interesting, a bright smile bloomed on his face, and he continued to climb awkwardly upward, and the speed was less than half a point compared to before. Here, his strong physique obviously has a certain advantage.
Ye Cheng continued to climb up, and before he knew it, he had reached a third of the Bone Forging Cliff, and a gust of mountain wind blew in his ears. Suddenly, there were a few exclamations from above, and several figures crossed Ye Cheng's line of sight, the only difference was that this time Ye Cheng witnessed the process with his own eyes. Previously, they were still climbing in this area where gravity had skyrocketed, and although everyone was struggling, the speed of the climb was also smooth, and Ye Cheng was constantly closing the distance. Seeing that the nearest person in front of him was only a foot away, and Wang Yulei, who was farthest away, was also within the range of three zhang, at this moment, Wang Yulei's slowly climbing figure suddenly jumped upward, and the whole person flew up, fortunately, he reacted quickly and grabbed a thick vine in time, so that he did not fall off the cliff, but then the few people who buried their heads in hard work were not so lucky, except for a slender young girl in white and a handsome boy in a silver robe, everyone else fell directly after an inexplicable jump.
Ye Cheng stared closely at a horizontal crack several zhang long not far away, the abrupt scurry happened there, and it was obvious that the gravity there had changed rapidly. Ye Cheng didn't hesitate any longer, a bold idea rose in his heart, and the speed was a little faster, as if he didn't know that the gravity in front of him had changed, he didn't care about wiping the sweat on his forehead, and the whole person was like an arrow off the string, rushing out quickly. Wang Yulei, Jiang Bo and Hu Xueli above were all stunned: Is this guy dying?
"Whoosh!" Ye Cheng's speed was fast, and he crossed the crack in the blink of an eye, and sure enough, the heavy gravity disappeared suddenly, his speed increased even more, and his body turned into a blurred shadow, directly passing the stunned Wang Yulei and the others, and flying towards a raised rock on the cliff wall higher.
Ye Cheng stretched out his hand as hard as he could, spreading his five fingers, and he was about to successfully grasp the sharp stone. "It seems that this bet is right!" Ye Cheng's face bloomed with a satisfied smile, this seemingly crazy move was really worth it. However, the mutation suddenly appeared, a fierce wind swept suddenly, and the thin body was like a fluttering feather, which was rolled up without resistance, paused in mid-air for a moment, and then fell straight down.
Ye Cheng's eyes widened, and an expression of disbelief froze on his face.
Is this the end of it? Everyone, looking at the dark golden figure that was falling, held their breath??????
