Everyone was working hard and climbing with all their strength. Even if they couldn't be amongst the top 300 disciples, they didn't want to disgrace themselves either. Especially now that experts from the three big sects were here, after all, no one wanted to be a loser.
...
The Stairway to Heaven was in turmoil, many people were on the same stone step, pushing and bumping into each other. They were all grinding their teeth, if it wasn't for the rule saying that fighting was prohibited on the Stairway to Heaven, this place would have already become a battleground.
The competition didn't allow any physical fights on the Stairway to Heaven, but fighting with words was allowed. Therefore, there were tons of disciples ridiculing the ones next to them. Some of the ruder disciples even went as far as scolding his opponent's ancestors, showing no care about the image of their own.
As for those with real abilities, every single one of them had their mouths shut as they climbed upwards with all their effort. The lead only became wider as time passed, there was a huge gap between the strong genius warriors and the others.
The most terrifying ones were still the Saurabh, Eliot and the two mysterious fellow . These four were marching forwards like rockets, they had already arrived at the 350th stone step, and were still charging forwards without showing any weakness.
When these four reached the 360th stone step, their posture started changing, and their speed began to slow down. The pressure on the higher stone steps had begun to increase exponentially. Even someone like the Saurabh couldn't keep a stable pace under the pressure from the the stairway of Heaven
At this moment, a young man dressed in white suddenly speed up His expression was calm, and with just a single step, he went up few meters, landing on the 100 stone step calmly. He then took another three steps and arrived at the 120th stone step. He moved lightly, just like a swallow. In the blink of an eye, he was at the 150th stone step. His face still carried a warm smile, it was as if the pressure on the Stairway to Heaven was just a gentle breeze.
"Look! Who is that masked man?! His speed is incredible!"
" But this masked man looks like he is someone capable… I wonder how many steps he can climb!"
Many people focused their attention on Rudra. There was basically no one at the the Stairway to Heaven who was this fast, therefore the sudden appearance of Rudra was pretty obvious.
"Damn it! Just who is this guy? How can he be so fast?!"
"Where did this guy come from? Is he here to beat us all? He isn't from any of the big power of the empire, and I have never seen him before!"
The sudden appearance of Rudra had caused some turmoil on the Stairway to Heaven. Quite a few people were grinding their teeth while trying to catch up to him. Sadly, the pressure was just too intense, and they were at their limits. They could only watch with their own eyes how Rudra calmly leaving them in dust.
.......
At the moment,
Saurabh and the others had just passed the 400th step. At this point, even they were sweating all over. Every step was getting more and more difficult to take. And there was still 600 steps to climb.
Eliot climbed up another step , but currently, Saurabh and other two were both slower. The difference was now clear.
Swoosh swoosh...
Right at this moment, the four of them felt wind blowing from their backs. They couldn't help but turn around to take a look. What they saw was a young man dressed in white coming up towards them with speed as swift as wind. His speed was extremely great, and it looked as if he was immune to the pressure.
