What Zhou Baopu didn't know was that if the energy generated when he stepped on the first ten stone steps did not continue to be absorbed and refined, his body would not be able to absorb the energy as easily as he did. And what's even more extreme is that the body may even gradually become resistant to those energies because of its rejection of that energy.
From this aspect, the energy generated by the stone steps is like naughty elves. If you treat it well at first and tame it as much as possible, it will obey your management in the future. On the contrary, if you refuse from the beginning, then from now on, these energies will resist you.
And once this kind of estrangement occurs, it may not be easy to establish friendly relations again.
"Look, that boy, he has already chased Duanmusen and Shangguan Rui." "
Yeah, it's incredible. Those four young masters are top-notch. I really don't know what kind of shit luck this boy got? "
Look, he is still talking to them. Oh my god, he actually patted those two people on the shoulders. Oh my God, please tell me, what did I see?" No wonder everyone was talking and talking
. It was strange, after all, upper-class beings like Duanmusen and Shangguan Rui, in their opinion, would not be involved with an unknown person like Zhou Baopu. When something happens that goes against their common sense, people can't help but dig deeper.
"Don't you think this hurdle is a little too simple?"
The three of them walked side by side for a while before Shangguan Rui spoke. It may be a bit exaggerated to be called Mr. Zhi, but if he didn't have real ability, I'm afraid Shangguan Rui wouldn't be able to retain the title of Mr. Zhi until now. By now, even though he had only walked a short distance, Shangguan Rui had already noticed something unusual.
"Are you saying that the final assessment of Tianfu Tower was too simple?"
Zhou Baopu frowned, obviously unable to figure out why Shangguan Rui had such a view.
But then after thinking about it, Zhou Baopu figured it out. Because from the beginning of the assessment to now, Zhou Baopu has really not expended much effort. Compared with the assessments in the first two levels, this really pales into insignificance. It is really confusing to use such an assessment as the finale.
"Yeah, isn't it simple? From the beginning to now, haven't you noticed that we have been climbing stone steps. If the rest of the journey is like this, then what's the point?" Duanmusen's
words , easy to understand. In his opinion, climbing these stone steps is not difficult. And as long as he has enough perseverance, in his opinion, no matter how many stone steps there are, there will always be an end. So in the end, the competition is nothing more than perseverance.
"If we want to test people's perseverance, there is no need for us to climb stone steps, right? After all, there are many ways to test people's perseverance." After listening to Zhou Baopu and Duanmusen's analysis, Shangguan Rui frowned
. Instead of loosening, it became even more wrinkled.
"Is it possible that there is something fishy about this?"
After listening to Shangguan Rui's words, Zhou Baopu pondered.
Seeing the worried look of the two people, Duanmusen said: "Instead of making random guesses here, why don't we concentrate on thinking and rush forward quickly?" After hearing Duanmusen's reminder, Zhou Baopu and
Shangguan Rui also Look at each other and smile.
Sometimes people worry too much and lose the ability to act. Sometimes, although this kind of worry does not incapacitate people's ability to move, it can be regarded as reducing their ability to move. Because while they were worrying like that, the pace of the three of them slowed down.
Zhou Baopu turned around and looked, and couldn't help but look shocked. He saw that someone was already rushing towards them from behind.
"Look behind you."
After listening to Zhou Baopu's reminder, Shangguan Rui and Duan Musen turned their heads almost at the same time, and frowned when they saw the examiners chasing after them. Turning his head quickly, Duanmusen, Shangguan Rui and Zhou Baopu looked at each other and speeded up.
"Hurry up, let's keep this speed and climb up the steep slope ahead."
Zhou Baopu had the most confidence, so he started to cheer Shangguan Rui and Duan Musen. He knew that sometimes people looked really exhausted. But if you hold your breath and refuse to admit defeat, you can still hold back your strength.
When Zhou Baopu said these words, he glanced at the two people on both sides, and at the same time, the movement of his legs became a little faster.
Sure enough, after listening to Zhou Baopu's words, he saw that Zhou Baopu's speed increased again. The two people following Zhou Baopu on both sides also seemed to be crazy. They held back their breath and forcefully turned around. The speed increased by three points, reaching the same speed as Zhou Baopu.
As the saying goes, looking at the mountains is a waste of time. In fact, when you climb a mountain and look at the top of the mountain, isn’t it true?
Although it seemed that the mountain in front of them was right in front of them. But when they actually climbed the stairs, the three of them realized how many stairs they had to go through and how much strength they had to muster before they could truly climb the mountain ahead.
However, three people together are more powerful than one person. Many times, human strength is compared.
In Zhou Baopu's view, although Duanmusen and Shangguan Rui are both one of the four great masters, Zhou Baopu does not think that he is worse than anyone else. Thinking of the hardships he suffered when he was young, Zhou Baopu gritted his teeth and persisted, although there were bursts of pain in the muscles of his legs.
On the other hand, Duanmusen and Shangguan Rui were filled with anger. In their opinion, they have abundant resources to provide them with training. If they lose to a little-known Zhou Baopu in terms of endurance or now speed, they don't care about what others think, but it will probably have a psychological impact on themselves in the future.
Seeing the mountain top that was so close in front of him but seemed so far away in the horizon, Zhou Baopu seemed to be going crazy. Not only did he not stop, but he increased his speed a little more. And before speeding up, Zhou Baopu gave Duanmusen and Shangguan Rui a challenging look.
Duanmusen and Shangguan Rui, which one is not a proud and arrogant person?
When they received the message of Zhou Baopu's challenge, they all took a deep breath, which actually increased their speed a bit.
Just as they increased their speed, a person following them looked at the three people getting further and further away. He couldn't help wiping the sweat from his face, stopped at the same time, and squatted on the holy steps. For a while, he was still breathing heavily.
"Madmen, they are all a group of madmen. Isn't it just an assessment? Is it necessary to work so hard?"
Seeing that he could not catch up with Zhou Baopu and the other three, the examiner sat down and took a rest.
But Zhou Baopu and the other three didn't know all this, because the mountain they were aiming for was about to be crushed under his feet.
