Chapter 98: You Guys Just Speed-Run, I

"Brother, what way do you have?" Everyone was puzzled in their hearts.

Ye Ming said indifferently, "You don't need to worry about that much, just follow behind me, I'll take you to complete the assessment!"

Right now, they were just stimulated by Ye Ming and wanted to complete the assessment in one go.

But Tang San and Oscar had deep minds; as long as they reacted, they would inevitably extend the assessment time to temper themselves.

What he had to do, naturally, was to grab time! "Since Brother has a way, we should believe in him!" Ma Hongjun said carelessly: "Could it be that he would harm us?"

Dai Mubai and the others nodded repeatedly, "That's true."

Ye Ming was the first to step on the stairs; that huge pressure was like nothing to him.

The pressure of this Sea God's Light couldn't even block his footsteps.

When he stepped on the third step, Dai Mubai and the others also followed. Although Tang San felt something was wrong, he still pulled Xiao Wu into the coverage area of the Sea God's Light and stepped on the stairs.

Just when everyone was wondering what Ye Ming would do, countless moonlight ribbons drifted out from his body, enveloping everyone.

Instantly, everyone who had been facing huge pressure felt a sense of relief, as if the pressure brought by the Sea God's Light had all disappeared.

As the life-bound Gu in Ye Ming's first aperture, the Precious Moon Light King Gu was also at the top level among all Fourth-Turn Gu in terms of defense.

And the most important thing was that the defensive ability of this Gu could help others!

Dai Mubai and Tang San felt it most clearly; just now they wanted to step on the stairs but were obstructed by the Sea God's Light. Now, enveloped by the moonlight ribbons, the pressure brought by the Sea God's Light was less than one percent of before.

Ye Ming himself didn't use the defense of the Precious Moon Light King Gu; the pressure of the stairs in front couldn't block him at all. He walked toward the top leisurely, while the Shrek Seven Devils behind him also climbed the mountain easily.

Soon, Ye Ming arrived at the 100th step. At this time, the pressure here made his footsteps slightly heavy, but he still looked normal and walked forward slowly.

Soon, he passed the 108th step, which was also the destination of the Black Level assessment.

Almost in an instant, the Shrek Seven Devils also climbed to this level with the help of the Precious Moon Light King Gu.

In an instant, the pale golden mist enveloping Dai Mubai, Zhu Zhuqing, Oscar, and Ma Hongjun rapidly faded away.

From the five-pointed star and six-pointed star patterns on their foreheads, a strand of black energy drifted out and condensed into a black light curtain before them.

The light curtain shattered instantly, then turned into dots of black light and re-injected into their foreheads.

"Black Level Five/Six Trials First Trial, traverse, Sea God's Light, passed. Soul power increased by one level!"

This voice sounded in their minds simultaneously, and Dai Mubai and the others felt a sense of relief; the huge pressure brought by the Sea God's Light had disappeared.

"My soul power increased by one level!" Oscar exclaimed, "This reward is too good!"

Zhu Zhuqing and the others also spoke in response.

The feeling of passing the assessment so easily and obtaining a soul power increase reward was simply too cool!

"Let's retreat first, don't increase Brother's consumption!" Dai Mubai said, and directly withdrew to the foot of the mountain.

Seeing this, Ma Hongjun and the others also withdrew one after another and returned to the foot of Sea God Mountain.

Ning Rongrong and Tang San looked at each other, both feeling a bit excited in their hearts.

The reward for completing the Black Level assessment was actually a one-level increase in soul power, so the rewards for their Top-tier assessment and Sea God Nine Trials would definitely be even more generous!

Under Ye Ming's protection, they continued to move forward, and soon, Ning Rongrong also reached the 136th step, completing her first assessment!

Red light surrounded her, and the strange red seven-pointed star on Ning Rongrong's forehead bloomed with dazzling brilliance. Layers of red light swept down, cheering and jumping around her body.

A red light curtain sprayed out from the seven-pointed star, shattered quietly, and directly condensed into a red light ring that fell from the sky, enveloping Ning Rongrong's body and merging into her body.

"Top-tier Seven Trials First Trial, traverse, enhance, Sea God's Light, passed. Soul power increased by one level, soul ring skill power increased by 500 years."

The moment this voice sounded, the pressure from the Sea God's Light on Ning Rongrong also disappeared.

Feeling this rich reward, a smile appeared on her face, "Brother Ye Ming, thank you!"

After saying this, she also withdrew and fell toward the foot of the mountain.

Ye Ming's expression was indifferent, as if he couldn't feel the pressure from the Sea God's Light, and he added all his Precious Moon Light King Gu to Tang San and Xiao Wu, continuing to walk forward.

When he walked to the 200th step, the pressure increased significantly, and the consumption of True Essence in his body also began to increase.

However, this level of consumption was not a problem at all for him, who possessed a 98% True Essence Sea.

Not to mention, he also had the Fourth-Turn Heavenly Essence Treasure Monarch Lotus in his aperture, constantly producing True Essence. Walking on the stairs covered by the Sea God's Light, Ye Ming discovered that not only was the soul power in his body running faster, but even the True Essence in his aperture was vibrating at a much higher frequency.

Obviously, under this kind of pressure, his cultivation speed would definitely be much faster.

But right now, it was only the 200th step; the pressure above would be stronger, and it would be more helpful to him!

Tang San held Xiao Wu and looked at the determined figure moving forward above, unable to help but worry: "Brother, how do you feel?"

"If you can't hold on, let's rest for a while before coming to challenge this first assessment!"

Ye Ming turned his head and smiled faintly: "Third Brother, don't worry! This bit of pressure is not enough to stop my footsteps!"

"Mubai and the others have already completed the first assessment, so I have to let you and Xiao Wu complete this assessment first!"

After saying this, he strode forward rapidly, the wind whistling as he walked, without any hesitation! Seeing this, Tang San didn't hesitate anymore and quickly followed Ye Ming's pace. When he passed the 333rd step, Tang San, holding Xiao Wu, also stepped on this step!

When he reached the three-hundredth step, the pressure within the Sea God's Light increased exponentially once more, causing Ye Ming's footsteps to falter slightly.

However, he adjusted in an instant and continued to step upward, one step at a time! When he passed the three-hundred-thirty-third step, Tang San, who was behind him holding Xiao Wu, also stepped onto that same stair!

Suddenly, a red light surged from Xiao Wu's forehead, and the light flashed by. Seven clear golden lights gathered in the air, illuminating the surroundings. The golden light fell and enveloped Tang San and Xiao Wu's bodies.

In the golden light, the golden trident on Tang San's forehead bloomed with brilliant light, and the golden light spread down from his forehead like silk threads, flowing over his whole body.

A golden light curtain shattered before Tang San, turning into dots of golden light that poured into his body along with the light flowing down from the Golden Trident.

"Traverse, double, Sea God's Light, test passed. First trial ended, Sea God Affinity increased by 5%, currently 5% in total."

A strange blue light flickered on Tang San's forehead, then disappeared.

At the same time, the red light spot on Xiao Wu's forehead flashed continuously, and a prompt also sounded in the depths of her soul.

"Top-tier First Trial 1/9 completed, rewards starting to stack."

When Tang San heard the reward sound, he was slightly stunned. Why didn't he get a soul power increase reward? But in just an instant, he understood that the Sea God Nine Trials was a higher assessment than the Top-tier Seven Trials, and the final reward would definitely not be low.

Right now, perhaps the reward was just temporarily stored.

Tang San said to Ye Ming in front: "Brother, our assessment is completed, you must work hard yourself!"

After saying that, he held Xiao Wu and flew rapidly toward the foot of the mountain, landing beside Dai Mubai and the others.

Seeing this, Ye Ming nodded lightly and put away his Precious Moon Light King Gu. Looking at the Sea God Hall above, his gaze condensed, and then he began to sprint on the stairs!

400... 430... 470... 500... 600! In just a few breaths, he leaped over the distance of hundreds of steps and arrived at the 700th step!

This scene scared Dai Mubai and the others below, leaving them dumbfounded.

"Brother is too fierce!"

"No wonder the assessment requires him to climb 1,001 steps. At this speed, he has a chance to pass today!"

They looked up at Ye Ming above, their mouths wide open, their gazes horrified.

Ye Ming's speed above slowed down again. After crossing the 700th step, the pressure he faced was already very terrifying.

However, there was no pain on his face. At this juncture, he didn't even activate the Precious Moon Light King Gu to bless himself! He wanted to try and see how far he could go with his own strength! 800... 840... 890... 900! By the 900th step, every step he took, cold sweat streamed down his forehead! At this moment, he was still walking on the stairs with his own strength! Moreover, he was multitasking, activating the Fifth-Turn Thunder Dragon Strength Gu in his second aperture, merging it into his body! Now Ye Ming was only a Fourth-Turn Intermediate Gu Master. After thoroughly merging the Fourth-Turn Tyrant Bear Strength Gu and Fourth-Turn Flying Elephant Strength Gu, his speed of merging the Fifth-Turn Thunder Dragon Strength Gu was like an ant crawling. Right now, with the pressure brought by the Sea God's Light, his speed of refining and merging the Thunder Dragon Strength Gu actually began to increase rapidly! If it followed the original speed, it would probably take half a year for him to thoroughly merge the Thunder Dragon Strength Gu into his body. But right now, he would need at most a month to thoroughly master the Thunder Dragon Strength Gu! When he walked to the 950th step, Ye Ming couldn't walk anymore, so he added the Precious Moon Light King Gu to himself. Even so, every step he took took a lot of time.

At this moment, he was still walking on the stairs relying on his own strength! Moreover, he was multitasking, urging the Rank 5 Thunder Dragon Strength Gu within his second aperture to integrate it into his own body!

Ye Ming was currently only a Rank 4 intermediate Gu Master. After fully integrating the Rank 4 Tyrant Bear Strength Gu and the Rank 4 Flying Elephant Strength Gu, his speed in integrating the Rank 5 Thunder Dragon Strength Gu was like a snail's pace.

Now, with the pressure brought by the Sea God's Light, his speed in refining and integrating the Thunder Dragon Strength Gu had actually begun to increase rapidly! At his original speed, it would have taken an estimated half a year to fully integrate the Thunder Dragon Strength Gu into his body. But now, he would need at most a month to fully master it! When he reached the nine-hundred-fiftieth step, Ye Ming could no longer walk, so he applied the Precious Moon Nishang Gu to himself.

Even so, every step he took required a great deal of time.

"Brother Ye Ming, come on!!"

"Brother, rush up!!"

"Brother Ye Ming, persist!!"

Below, the voices of Dai Mubai and the others sounded, cheering for Ye Ming.

Hearing these words of encouragement, Ye Ming smiled slightly in his heart.

You guys just speed-run, I'll naturally take my time!

He would naturally use this month to the extreme! (End of chapter) ===== CHAPTER 99 =====
