Chapter 16 As the Flames Burned, I Strolled along

"All right, let's start testing perseverance." Lu Yunfeng announced.

On the left side of the platform, there was a staircase made of jade. There were nine staircases. This was the flaming staircase.

This is the Lu family spent a lot of money, asked master ming lian to refine it, engraved with the wonderful Mingwen, very mysterious.

As long as people walked up, the Mingwen on the stairs would be inspired, emitting a hot breath, enveloping the people who walked up.

On top of them, it was as if they were in the midst of a raging flame, trying to endure the pain and torment of being burned by it.

Although it was not a real flame, it was no different from the feeling in a real flame.

And, nine steps, one by one, got hotter.

This time, it was a test of who was on top for longer and who could climb the stairs higher.

The higher and the longer the time, the stronger the willpower.

"I'll go first."

A 16-year-old son of the Lu family first walked towards the "Flame staircase." When he stepped on the staircase, the entire flame staircase suddenly shone brightly. A fiery red light flashed.

And the young man's face changed greatly, as if in some pain, but then he gritted his teeth and stepped out step by step, up the second step, followed by the third step.

At this point, he stopped and began to resist the burning pain.

But with only ten breaths, his body began to tremble. His face was pale and ferocious, obviously suffering a lot.

Ten more breaths, and he screamed, unable to hold back any longer, he jumped down the' fire stairs'.

"Lu li, the third step, twenty breaths."

Lu Yunfeng announced.

Then, Lu family's children, one by one, came forward to test.

But most of them were on the third staircase, and the fourth staircase was like that. The time was only twenty or thirty breaths.

"Let me try!"

Lu Chuan walked out, glanced at Lu Ming, sneered and stepped up the stairs.

He was so fast that he didn't stop at all and went straight to the fifth step.

Then he stopped on the fifth staircase for a full time of 52 breaths.

This amazed everyone.

"Well, it's not bad that it's Lu Yao's big brother. His sister has unparalleled talent, and his brother is not bad. He can actually stay at the fifth staircase for 52 breaths."

Duanmu Qing praised.

"Haha, the duanmu emissary flatters me."

Great Elder laughed.

Lu Chuan smiled with satisfaction.

Then, the test continued. Several of them had good willpower, and two of them were not weaker than Lu Chuan. One stopped at 52 and the other at 55 on the fifth staircase.

But none of them dared to step on the sixth step.

Soon, only Lu Yao and Lu Ming were left on the platform.

Lu Yao glanced at Lu Ming and walked towards the flaming staircase.

At this moment, everyone's eyes were on Lu Yao.

There were so many halos on Lu Yao that everyone wanted to see how Lu Yao's willpower was.

Talent is high, willpower is not necessarily strong.

Lu yao lifted the lotus step lightly and stepped on the first step. Then, she stepped on the second step.

One step after another, without any pause, he walked straight up the sixth step.

The sixth staircase, which had already surpassed everyone before, held their breath and looked at it seriously.

However, Lu Yao did not stop. He took another step and stepped on the seventh step.

"Lu Yao actually stepped on the seventh step. It's amazing."

"Let's see how long she can last."

Everyone guessed.

But soon, there was an answer.

Eighty six.

Lu Yao was on the seventh staircase, and after a good eighty-six breaths, he jumped down the staircase.

"Awesome, really awesome. I didn't expect Lu Yao to be not only talented, but also strong-willed. She's really a proud daughter of heaven."

"No, that's the seventh staircase. It's not comparable to the first staircase."

The crowd was abuzz with discussion.

Lu Yao's face was dull, as if he had done something insignificant. He turned to one side and walked past Lu Ming with contempt in his eyes.

"See? That's the difference between us."

A soft voice echoed in Lu Ming's ear.

"Really? You have to remember that." Lu Ming smiled coldly and walked towards the flaming staircase.

"Overestimate yourself!" Great Elder sneered from the main seat.

"How many steps can lu ming take?"

On the platform, Lu Chuan asked the other young men with a smile.

"In my opinion, the second staircase is the most."

"I don't think the second staircase can hold ten breaths."

The other youths laughed.

But as soon as they finished speaking, the smile on their faces froze and their eyes widened.

Because at this time, Lu Ming had already directly crossed the second staircase and stepped directly onto the third staircase, but he had no intention of stopping and went to the fourth staircase.

Then there was the fifth, sixth...

When lu ming stepped into the seventh staircase, he still did not stop. He stepped out step by step and stepped onto the eighth staircase.

However, this was not the end of Lu Ming's journey. At this moment, he raised his feet and stepped out.

The hearts of the crowd seemed to be hanging with Lu Ming, and then, as Lu Ming stepped on the ninth step, he fell heavily.

Then, there was a loud and violent noise.

"God, Lu Ming, he's actually on the ninth step. Is there a mistake?"

"Even if you step on it, what's the point? Whether you can hold on or not is the point. If you can't hold on and just breathe, it's embarrassing."

Great Elder said even more coldly, "Overestimate your strength. If you can't bear the pain later, your mind will break and you will become an idiot. That's the fun."

"Ming er!"

"Young master!"

Below the stage, Li Ping and Qiu Yue, their hands clenched in cold sweat, their eyes filled with worry.

But, slowly, the discussion on the court became quieter.

Because ten breaths had passed by now.

Lu Ming actually stood on the ninth staircase for ten breaths and still hadn't come down.

Obviously, ten interest is just the beginning.

Time passed slowly, twenty, thirty...

Soon, it was over a hundred, but Lu Ming was still there.

He was tall and slender, standing on the ninth staircase like a sharp sword.

There was complete silence.

"I think he's broken down. He's not already dead, is he?"

Great Elder said coldly.

But then, Lu Ming smiled and his voice came out from afar, "Lu Yao, you were right. This is the difference between you and me."

This sentence was like a slap, not only on Great Elder's face, but also on Lu Yao's face.

This sentence was given to Lu Ming by Lu Yao. Now, Lu Ming returned it to her with the truth.

Lu Yao looked at Lu Ming on the flaming staircase, her beautiful eyes flickering, but she quickly regained her composure and said: "Lu Ming, you've been a waste all your life, despised by others. You've trained well and are quite able to resist, but in the path of martial arts, willpower is only the foundation, and talent is the main thing. Next, I'll show you the real difference between us."

As soon as he said this, the whole audience suddenly understood.

To think about it, it's normal for Lu Ming to be a trash who has been ridiculed and determined all these years.

"I see!" Duanmu Qing sneered.

"Is that really the case?" Mu Lan smiled inexplicably. She looked forward to what Duanmu Qing, Great Elder and the others would look like when they saw Lu Ming's performance.

On the stairs, Lu Ming's eyes were calm and he smiled faintly as he walked down the flaming stairs.

"All right, now the first round is over and the second round begins. Take the pulse and lift up the altar." Second elder announced.

Then, more than a dozen men moved onto an altar, one and a half meters high. On the altar, there were densely carved Mingwen.
