The sky completely darkened, and on the long stone steps leading to the peak of the Tool Sect, three figures could be seen climbing upwards with all their might. No, it would be more accurate to say that one of them was climbing with all his might while the other two were following behind him, their expressions unchanging.
The yellow-robed woman held a beautiful lotus flower lamp that glowed with a green light.
Although he was not truly climbing, Ye Feng was climbing up the mountain now, because he had used both his hands and feet.
He had lost all his soul power and his physical strength. He was already exhausted, but there was still no end in sight. There was no hope!
Ye Feng's heart had sunk to the extreme and his body was deathly tired. There were several times when he wanted to tear off his face, then lie down on the wide stone steps and sleep until the sun rose tomorrow, leaving the matter of the wager behind.
However, the damn night wind would occasionally blow the body fragrance of that annoying woman behind him, as if it was mocking him in a different way, causing him to become stubborn. No matter what, he had to climb up, even if he had to climb up.
Thus, he really crawled …
However, his unyielding perseverance caused the Senior Sister Fan following behind him to have a change of opinion towards him.
Lu Tao, on the other hand, valued Ye Feng even more.
As a result of his fatigue, the dizzy Ye Feng did not know how much time had passed, he did not want to waste any time to ask the two people behind him.
However, right at this moment, Lu Tao's somewhat helpless voice came from behind him, "We've walked two-thirds of the way up the stone stairs, but we only have ten minutes left …"
Hearing this, Ye Feng's heart skipped a beat. Would he want Senior Brother Lu Tao to take out a first-grade Soul Tool and give it to that woman? The woman must have given him that loathsome smile of mockery, and mocked him as much as she could.
No, he was unwilling!
How could Ye Feng have known that the goddess-like girl behind him was actually admiring him in her heart? She had never thought that a mere beginner Soul Master brat could actually make it across two-thirds of the steep stairs in just fifty minutes?
And how did she know that Ye Feng's Soul Body was far stronger than normal people, and could even cultivate by herself?
So she believed that Ye Feng had only been able to persevere with that tenacious willpower. She couldn't help but recall that Ye Feng had said it word by word before, and forcefully told her that he had not given up on these two words in Ye Feng's dictionary.
From the looks of it, Ye Feng had not said those words out of anger, but rather, had not given up in the first place.
"Xue Yao, can you help master? Master does not want to lose! I don't want to lose to that annoying woman! " With his soul energy depleted, Ye Feng could not help but kneel on the ground and shout in his heart, unable to accept the fact that he had lost all of his strength and stamina.
"Junior Brother Ye Feng..." Behind him, Lu Tao anxiously walked over, wanting to help him up, but Ye Feng simply waved his hand.
Senior Sister Fan frowned, and asked somewhat awkwardly: "About that, are you alright?"
Hearing this awkward question that was purposely hidden, a surprised expression surfaced on Ye Feng's face. He never thought that this woman would care about him in the slightest …
Could it be? Was it because he was in a poor state and had misheard the conversation?
"Master …" I'll help you, I won't let you lose. " At this time, Xue Yao's crisp voice sounded out from within the Soul Body. If Ye Feng had been looking inside, he would have seen it. Xue Yao's body emitted a green light aura, and streams of Immortal Qi lingered around Ye Feng's Soul Body, and immediately, an indescribable force surged within his body.
Ye Feng's eyes lit up, and wild joy emerged on his face!
Although this could be considered cheating, as long as he could see the incredulous expression on this proud and arrogant woman's face, even if he had to cheat, Ye Feng would be happy.
The excited Ye Feng had already forgotten to respond to the Senior Sister Fan, which made the proud and arrogant Senior Sister Fan feel humiliated.
She angrily shook her sleeves and said, "What? It's not going to work, right? "It's just a long flight of stone steps …"
"Isn't it too early for you to be proud of yourself!"
Ye Feng spoke out sarcastically, his eyes like the stars provoking Senior Sister Fan.
's attitude had undoubtedly added fuel to the fire. Senior Sister Fan's flower-like beautiful face also flushed red from anger as she pointed at Ye Feng with her lily-white fingers, "What did you say? Let me ask you, do you still have the strength to stand up? "
Ye Feng's lips curled up in a mocking smile, and said: "Not only am I able to stand up, I can also climb these stone steps within the allotted time, and bet on me winning against you!"
"Haha, what a joke. Junior Brother Lu Tao, did you bring back this stupid young man? "How can you say such nonsense?" Ye Feng's words immediately made Senior Sister Fan laugh, because Senior Sister Fan thought his words were very, very funny.
Lu Tao looked nervously at Ye Feng, he was worried that the arrogant Ye Feng would be shocked silly by the failure.
The smart Ye Feng only needed to look at Lu Tao's expression to know what that fellow was thinking about this. He immediately rolled his eyes at him, and after considering the timing, he didn't continue to accumulate information that was about to explode.
He suddenly stood up from the stone steps, looking full of energy.
He grinned and said, "I'm about to run, but you guys have to follow me!"
Arrogant, truly arrogant, Ye Feng actually told two people whose cultivations were higher than his that there were no spectators, if not, wouldn't he be making people laugh?
Ye Feng did not think that far, after throwing down his arrogant words, Ye Feng became like a lightning leopard, flying quickly, leaving behind an afterimage as he opened up a distance between the two of them.
Looking at Ye Feng who was suddenly full of vitality and had become smaller in their eyes, the two of them revealed a terrified expression.
After that, the two of them did not hold back anymore, they activated more soul power and chased after Ye Feng.
With this chase, the two of them felt fear in their hearts, because in such a short period of time, even though the two of them were using all their soul power, they were unable to catch up to Ye Feng.
"How did this Junior Brother Ye Feng suddenly possess such speed?"
"How on earth did this bastard get so fast all of a sudden?"
Throwing the two out of the way, Ye Feng could not hear the two of them talking in surprise. He was already looking at the top of the stone steps with his eyes shining brightly, feeling excited.
This light could be said to be the light of hope …
Seeing the light of hope, Ye Feng felt that his body had gained another force, and he immediately opened up his legs, flying up wildly.
Actually, it was Xue Yao, who was within the Soul Body, who helped him channel his own strength into the little fellow, causing it to look exhausted.
Seeing that the two who were about to catch up with Ye Feng were once again thrown off, the two of them felt extremely aggrieved in their hearts!
"Damn it!" Senior Sister Fan's face was filled with anger, as he said while clenching his teeth.
Feeling the anger of the person beside him, Lu Tao's face was filled with bitterness, and thought to himself: This Junior Brother Ye Feng has just arrived and already offended Senior Sister Fan.
"Haha, I'm coming up!"
Climbing the stone steps, Ye Feng, who was basked in the the light of the spirit pearl at the top of the mountain, opened his arms, breathing in the water like dense spirit energy, he roared out happily, as though he wanted to release all of the grievances in his heart.
However, his wolf howl startled many nearby Tool Sect disciples.
Immediately, many disciples of the Tool Sect walked toward him with displeased expressions.
At this time, Lu Tao and Senior Sister Fan also came up.
Ye Feng anxiously asked Lu Tao: Senior Brother Lu Tao, how long will it take me?
Lu Tao took out a little toy Spirit Tool s that he had made himself, that looked at the time, and looked at it. Surprisingly, a surprised expression surfaced on his face, "It was actually only used, fifty-nine minutes …"
"Fifty-nine minutes?"
Just a minute and an hour later, Ye Feng laughed, causing Senior Sister Fan to become gloomy.
In this one minute, it was decided that Ye Feng would win.
"Isn't that Junior Brother Lu Tao and Senior Sister Fan? Who is this person? "
At this time, many people had already surrounded them. One of the sturdy young men asked the two.
Senior Sister Fan was currently infuriated beyond compare. He snorted coldly and brought out a set of first-grade Soul Tool from his own Spirit Ring, reluctantly handing it over to Ye Feng, "If you agree to lose this bet, I'll give this first-grade Soul Tool to you."
Ye Feng beamed as he received the first-grade Soul Tool from Senior Sister Fan. It was a red whip that emitted fire attribute spiritual energy.
"Willing to admit defeat? "What's going on?"
"I don't know!" Seems like Senior Sister Fan lost to this unfamiliar guy. "
Some of the Tool Sect disciples that surrounded them asked in confusion.
Holding the red whip and channeling a bit of his soul power into it, Ye Feng immediately felt the beast spirit inside the whip. He was ecstatic and could not help but sigh with emotion, before he could learn the skill to refine Soul Tool, he had actually obtained a first-grade Soul Tool.
Beautiful! Beautiful!
Looking at Ye Feng's complacent expression. Senior Sister Fan was enraged, she sneered: "Isn't it just a first-grade Soul Tool, how can you be so proud of it? Aunt is already a third stage refiner, and to me, this thing is just trash, it will only take up my Spirit Ring space and it will be perfect for you, as if you threw it into a trash can! "
Although he lost the bet and even gave Ye Feng a first-grade Soul Tool, this Senior Sister Fan was merciless with his words. According to Ye Feng's personality, ordinary people would have had a hard time angering him, but this Senior Sister Fan was obviously not an ordinary person. A sharp mouth and a venomous tongue could easily enrage Ye Feng.
