Free Web NovelChapter 467: Tenth Floor!
Buzz!
At that moment, the light on the seventh floor of the Heaven-Ascending Pagoda, which had been lit, suddenly went dark.
At the same time, the eighth floor lit up.
"Eh? Li Yun actually passed the seventh floor of the Heaven-Ascending Pagoda as well. With his strength at the 7th level of the Essence Qi Realm, being able to reach this step is truly not easy."
"It really is not easy. If Xing Chenfeng were not here, Li Yun might have become famous in one stroke. Unfortunately, now that Xing Chenfeng has already cleared the ninth floor of the Heaven-Ascending Pagoda, who would still pay attention to Li Yun under these circumstances?"
"Sigh, we can only say that this kid’s luck is bad."
The lighting of the eighth floor did attract some attention from the crowd, but they soon shook their heads and turned their gazes back to the shining tenth floor.
A few people even had a sudden thought flash through their minds.
Could the one who had just cleared the seventh floor be Xing Chenfeng, while the person who had cleared the ninth floor was Li Yun?
However, the moment this thought appeared, they immediately swept it away. Some of them even shook their heads, wondering how they could have come up with such an absurd idea.
How could a cultivator at the 7th level of the Essence Qi Realm possibly clear the ninth floor of the Heaven-Ascending Pagoda?
Compared to that ridiculous possibility, it was far more reasonable to believe that Xing Chenfeng had obtained some astonishing opportunity and that his strength had advanced by leaps and bounds within a single month.
Buzz!
At that moment, the light on the eighth floor of the Heaven-Ascending Pagoda suddenly went out.
A figure was then teleported directly out.
Almost no one looked at the figure that had just appeared. Everyone’s attention was still fixed on the shining tenth floor.
Only one cultivator standing near the edge of the crowd seemed somewhat tired of staring upward. He cracked his neck casually, and his peripheral vision happened to catch sight of the person who had been teleported out.
With just that one glance, the man froze as if struck by lightning.
His entire body trembled violently, and an exclamation escaped his throat before he could stop it.
"Xing Chenfeng?"
"What?"
That exclamation caused everyone’s expressions to change at once.
They immediately looked in the direction of the shout, and the moment they saw the figure standing there, their faces changed completely. Their eyes filled with disbelief, as though they had seen a phantom.
Because the person who had just been teleported out of the Heaven-Ascending Pagoda was none other than Xing Chenfeng.
"Xing Chenfeng? How could it be Xing Chenfeng?"
Everyone’s faces were filled with extreme horror.
A terrifying thought surged through their minds like lightning.
Since the person who had been teleported out was Xing Chenfeng, then the one still inside the Heaven-Ascending Pagoda was...
Hiss!
At that moment, everyone could not help sucking in a breath of cold air.
Their scalps went numb, and their minds nearly went blank. Their bodies trembled violently as shock flooded through them.
"What a pity. I was only one step away from clearing the eighth floor of the Heaven-Ascending Pagoda."
Xing Chenfeng, who had just been teleported out, still had a face full of pride and arrogance. He laughed loudly and said, "But no matter what, I have definitely won this bet. Li Yun, why do you not hurry up and..."
Halfway through his sentence, Xing Chenfeng’s voice suddenly stopped.
When he saw the strange, pitying expressions on the faces of the people before him, his heart skipped a beat, and an ominous feeling abruptly rose within him.
He slowly turned around and looked at the Heaven-Ascending Pagoda behind him.
With that one glance, his entire body shook violently.
A chill spread from his spine through his whole body, leaving him cold to the bone.
The tenth floor of the Heaven-Ascending Pagoda was glowing brightly, releasing an incomparably brilliant light.
"The tenth floor?"
Xing Chenfeng’s mind went blank.
"How is that possible? Li Yun actually cleared the ninth floor of the Heaven-Ascending Pagoda and reached the tenth floor? Impossible. This is impossible."
Buzz!
In the next moment, the light on the tenth floor of the Heaven-Ascending Pagoda suddenly went out.
A figure was then teleported directly out.
That figure was none other than Li Yun.
Thud!
The moment Xing Chenfeng saw Li Yun appear, his face turned deathly pale. His knees weakened, and he could not stop himself from falling into a half-kneeling position. His lips trembled uncontrollably, as if he had truly seen a ghost.
Li Yun had actually cleared nine floors of the Heaven-Ascending Pagoda.
As for the rest of the crowd, their expressions were also filled with extreme shock.
They looked at one another and saw the bitter smiles in each other’s eyes.
From the very beginning, they had all been completely wrong.
In their eyes, the one who climbed the pagoda faster and reached higher should have been Xing Chenfeng. None of them had imagined that Li Yun, a mere Essence Qi Realm cultivator, could actually stay ahead of Xing Chenfeng the entire time.
However, the truth was like a sharp slap across their faces, leaving them with a burning sense of shame.
"Incredible. This is truly too incredible." freēwēbnovel.com
"A cultivator at the 7th level of the Essence Qi Realm actually cleared the ninth floor of the Heaven-Ascending Pagoda. If this spreads, I am afraid the entire Outer Sect will be shaken."
"Our Outer Sect has produced another extraordinary genius. No wonder Li Yun refused to join the Moon Orchid Society. He truly has absolute confidence."
Exclamations rang out one after another.
Every voice made Xing Chenfeng’s expression grow uglier. At that moment, he wished he could dig a hole and crawl into it.
Before the bet began, he had been full of confidence. He believed that he could crush Li Yun and trample him underfoot without any effort.
But in the end, Li Yun had stepped over him and become famous in a single stroke.
From now on, Li Yun would become a prominent figure in the Outer Sect, while Xing Chenfeng would become nothing more than a background foil. He would be remembered as the arrogant fool who had helped Li Yun rise to fame. freewēbnoveℓ.com
Thinking of this, Xing Chenfeng’s face became increasingly unsightly.
He gave a muffled grunt, stood up without saying a word, and prepared to leave this place as quickly as possible.
"Wait."
At that moment, Li Yun’s voice rang in his ears like the whisper of a demon.
Li Yun glanced at Xing Chenfeng with a playful expression and said indifferently, "Xing Chenfeng, I seem to remember you saying that the loser of the bet must hand over one thousand high-grade spirit stones and shout ’I am trash’ three times in front of everyone."
"What is this? Now that you have lost, are you in such a hurry to run away?"
