Under the immense gravity, the two men's legs trembled uncontrollably as they watched Tan Yun about to ascend the 99th level of the pagoda. With苦笑 on their faces, they clasped their fists and said, "The appearance of Junior Brother Tan on the pagoda has left us in awe."
Taking a deep breath, Tan Yun ascended the final step and appeared before the two, smiling faintly, "You two senior brothers are too modest."
"Of course! Let’s chat another day; I will continue to ascend the pagoda," Tan Yun replied with a solemn expression.
"Good!" Luo Fan and Song Hong said in unison, "It doesn’t matter if we don’t make it to the 99th floor today; we will cheer for Junior Brother Tan!"
As soon as they finished speaking, amidst the disbelief of the crowd, they stepped onto their Flying Swords and flew out of the 99th floor, hovering in the void, loudly declaring, "Junior Brother Tan, please!"
"Alright!" With a loud shout, Tan Yun was enveloped in a light golden spiritual power swirling around him, resembling a golden war god under the night sky, as he sprinted toward the steps leading to the 100th floor!
"Oh my! Everyone, look! Senior Brother Tan is about to challenge the 100th floor!"
"Senior Brother Tan is mighty!"
"……"
Amidst the frenzied cheers, Tan Yun actually leaped ten zhang high under the weight of 129 times gravity, directly surpassing 20 steps. With a thunderous "boom," he landed on the 21st step.
At that moment, Tan Yun's legs bent slightly!
"æ»´ç”æ»´ç”……"
Sweat dripped from his forehead down his handsome cheeks, landing on the steps. His damp hair hung low beneath his eyes; though it obscured his vision, it could not hide the unwavering determination in his gaze!
"The Great Transformation Spirit Fire of Elder Six is mine! The Mysterious Azure Flame of Elder Two is also mine!"
Tan Yun roared inwardly, and amidst the astonished gazes of the crowd, he slowly straightened his legs and began to steadily step onto each stair!
After reaching the 99th floor, there would be a one-hour grace period before ascending to the 100th floor. Tan Yun naturally intended to use this hour to recover his strength before continuing his ascent!
"Bang bang bang—"
With every step Tan Yun took under 129 times gravity, a dull thud echoed. It was as though an ancient god was walking forth from the distant past.
Every step pulled at the hearts of Shen Qingfeng, Shen Wende, and even all the disciples and elders!
Because the miracle beyond the 99th floor did not belong to Sun Abe alone; the glory of the miracle also belonged to Tan Yun!
"Creak creak!"
At this moment, Sun Abe, who led Tan Yun by 128 steps, was making creaking sounds all over his body.
He turned back, bloodied and battered, glancing at Tan Yun, who seemed calm and composed in comparison. A flash of shock passed through Sun Abe's eyes as he exerted all his strength to climb the pagoda quickly!
For Sun Abe, who was painfully enduring the 129 times gravity, he desperately wanted to reach the 100th floor and become the first person to do so in 30,000 years.
"I must fight for my honor!" Sun Abe roared, struggling to continue his ascent!
"Senior Brother Sun, go for it! You will definitely be the first Danmai disciple to reach the 100th floor in 30,000 years!"
"Senior Brother Sun... don’t let Tan Yun surpass you!"
"……"
The disciples under Pang Shiyuan all shouted encouragement to Sun Abe.
They understood that when a person's potential is pushed to the limit, the only driving force supporting them is their belief.
When belief reaches a certain level, it can make a person forget their pain and fight with all their might for that belief!
"Senior Brother Tan, defeat Sun Abe, and you will be the undisputed number one!"
"Senior Brother Tan, you are the king of the Danmai..."
"……"
The overwhelming roar from tens of thousands of disciples surged forth like crashing waves against a rock, ruthlessly swallowing the cries of Pang Shiyuan's disciples, engulfing the heavens and earth!
"Good... what a good kid!" Shen Qingfeng, standing on his Flying Sword, trembled with excitement.
