Qin Feng climbed upwards in a very relaxed manner. When he passed Yan Xue and Yu Han, he greeted them by lightly nodding his head towards them and quickly passed the 70th step.
Qin Feng did not stop. As he continued climbing the Nine Sky Stairway, he met Mu Bai at the 75th step. Although Mu Bai was drenched in sweat, he did not appear to be in a sorry state.
This time, seeing Qin Feng stepping on the 75th step, Mu Bai hurriedly ignored him and did not look at him because he was afraid that Qin Feng will mock him as he did before when he reached the 60th step. So, he ignored Qin Feng and continued stepping forward with his head lowered.
Qin Feng did not do what Mu Bai expected. He continued climbing the Nine Sky Stairway. When he was at the 80th step, his speed slowed down and every step he took was extremely taxing.
It was only until dusk that Qin Feng finally climbed up to the 89th step. He rested for full two hours before he took another step forward.
