Chapter 226: Radiant Glory

Billions of eyes converged upon the Yan Yun Heavenly Stairs.

The Yan Yun Heavenly Stairs, opened because of Ye Wuji, were now the center of attention with many young geniuses vying for supremacy.

"Hu Hao is truly formidable, actually standing on the tenth level of the Heavenly Stairs."

The billions of onlookers were sharp-eyed.

The Yan Yun Heavenly Stairs had twenty-seven levels, divided into three sets of nine.

The tenth level was the second tier, and being able to stand on this level was already remarkable.

"Then there's Leng Qingfeng from Qing Shui Cliff, closely followed, also reaching the tenth level."

"Chu Qiaoxuan from the Sky Cave Manor is also on the tenth level."

"Jin Yan from the Five Elements Sect has also ascended."

...

The tenth level was a major watershed. Although there were millions of participants in the ascent to the Heavenly Stairs, fewer than a hundred could stand firm on the tenth level.

This meant that these dozens of individuals were all outstanding talents among millions.

"Feng Wushuang, you are destined to fail."

Hu Hao turned around, looking at Feng Wushuang, who hesitated on the ninth level stairs, and mocked with a cold smile.

Then he stepped forward again, standing on the eleventh level of the Heavenly Stairs.

With Qingxuanzi fallen and Qingyangzi yet to arrive, if the core disciples of the Great Yan Imperial Family did not set foot on the Yan Yun Heavenly Stairs, then who else could compete with him?

Today, he was determined to go the farthest, attracting the attention of the Great Yan Imperial Family and becoming one of its core disciples in one fell swoop.

Jin Yan also sneered as he turned around. "I won't fail!"

Feng Wushuang looked at Jin Yan with a firm gaze, then stepped onto the tenth level of the Heavenly Stairs. Despite trembling and coughing up blood, she managed to stand firm on the tenth level and smiled up at Jin Yan.

"I didn't expect you to make it this far, but this is where it ends for you."

Jin Yan twitched at the corner of his mouth, then composed himself and continued to ascend.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Dozens of geniuses exerted their full strength, each step appearing calm but feeling like a heavy blow to the hearts of the onlookers.

As they attempted to reach the eleventh level, several figures were blasted away.

There was frustration on their faces, but no despair. Just being able to reach this point had already proven themselves.

Feng Wushuang turned back, looked at Ye Chen's encouraging smile full of sunshine, and smiled back, even though blood stained her lips, her smile was radiant.

"For that guy who loves to talk big, for my own pride, I can't lose."

With a determined smile, Feng Wushuang continued to step forward, this time without hesitation, advancing relentlessly.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The trembling sound echoed beneath her feet, the terrifying pressure like millions of mountains, yet it couldn't crush Feng Wushuang's figure.

In the blink of an eye, she took four steps on the eleventh level, astonishing the billions of spectators.

"My god, she actually took four steps in a row, as if walking on flat ground. Could it be that she's going to shine brightly?"

"On the fourteenth level of the Heavenly Stairs, only thirteen people remain. Such an achievement is already extremely dazzling. If she can continue, even the Five Peaks Sword Sect might have to consider whether to hold her accountable."

The crowd marveled.

Ten miles away.

True Person Wuxing and Feng Yangzi also trembled slightly, feeling moved.

Feng Wushuang, actually able to reach the fourteenth level of the Heavenly Stairs and stand shoulder to shoulder with the other twelve geniuses, how did they not notice her talent before?

"How is this possible?"

Jin Yan's mouth twitched. He had reached his limit on the fourteenth level of the Heavenly Stairs and was sure he couldn't step onto the fifteenth level. However, Feng Wushuang standing side by side with him was hard for him to accept.

"There are still four levels left to tie the record." Hu Hao glanced at Feng Wushuang, then at the other eleven people, and then took a step forward. With a loud rumble, his figure seemed to freeze, standing firmly on the fifteenth level of the Heavenly Stairs.

"I don't believe that this is my limit." Some geniuses roared with anger and forcibly stepped forward, but were instantly blasted away. They couldn't catch their breath and fainted on the spot, their fate unknown.

Leng Qingfeng from Qing Shui Cliff stepped forward, and a strong wind blew. His body was like a boat in the waves, swaying dangerously in the wind.

Leng Qingfeng coughed up blood and his feet trembled, almost falling off.

But luckily, he finally stabilized and became the second person to reach the fifteenth level.

"You can do it, so can I!"

Chu Qiaoxuan from the Sky Cave Manor, carrying infinite determination, stepped onto the fifteenth level with the determination to succeed or perish. He roared and howled, his body emitting a mist of blood, refusing to take a step back.

In the end, he stood firmly on the fifteenth level, as steady as a pine tree.

"On the fifteenth level, there will surely be my figure."

Some geniuses refused to show weakness, but as soon as they stepped onto the fifteenth level, their bodies shattered madly, and a large amount of flesh and blood flew around, causing them to quickly retreat. However, they couldn't resist the overwhelming pressure and were blasted away.

Several geniuses fell to the ground, spitting out a large amount of blood, and fainted, their fate unknown.

This scene made Jin Yan twitch at the corner of his mouth, looking at the fifteenth level, feeling shaken.

At this moment, there were only six people left on the Yan Yun Heavenly Stairs.

Four stood on the fifteenth level, while Feng Wushuang and Jin Yan hesitated on the fourteenth level, seemingly reluctant to take the next step.

"Jin Yan, you consider yourself extraordinary. Today, do you dare to step onto the fifteenth level?" Feng Wushuang looked at Jin Yan, her eyes cold.

Jin Yan twitched at the corner of his mouth and sneered, "Do you dare?"

"What's there not to dare!"

Feng Wushuang's voice was low. She looked up at the fifteenth level of the Heavenly Stairs, her eyes clear, without any hesitation, only a determination to move forward.

A month ago, she didn't have this determination to prove herself on the Yan Yun Heavenly Stairs.

However, Jin Yan's shamelessness and the ugliness of Qingxuanzi and others made her determined.

She wanted to show her mettle.

She wanted to see the regretful expressions of the sects.

She wanted to see the arrogant geniuses' faces when they were inferior to an ordinary girl like her.

She wanted to prove herself, for herself, and for Ye Chen.

Stepping forward, a terrifying storm swirled around Feng Wushuang, as if summoning winds from all directions, carrying boundless momentum as she strode towards the fifteenth level of the Heavenly Stairs.

A terrifying pressure bore down on her, her body seeming to shatter into countless pieces. Yet, upon closer inspection, she remained unscathed, those fleeting shadows resembling nothing more than the wind itself.

Feng Wushuang, attuning herself to the essence of the wind, regarded herself as a wisp of breeze. As long as there was wind, there was her presence. The fifteenth level of the Heavenly Stairs could not hinder her stride.

Standing atop the fifteenth level, she smiled.

"Incredible, Feng Wushuang has actually stabilized on the fifteenth level of the Heavenly Stairs!"

The crowd exclaimed in awe.

Feng Wushuang gained fame solely due to her conflicts with many other prodigies and her arrogant declaration of war. But now, her radiant glory shone anew, allowing people to see her in a new light.

She stood on par with Hu Hao and others.

And Gold Flame trailed behind.

This, indeed, was the brilliance of Feng Wushuang's blossoming glory.
