Climbing to the sixth step on his first attempt wasn’t easy for Yan Zhuo. However, the guy nad Yang Chen was also able to accomplish that. What’s more, he made it look effortless and even reached one step higher than him on his first try.
Yan Zhuo was stunned; nonetheless, the real mind boggling part was yet to co. Yang Chen had stopped on the seventh step indicating that he already broke Yan Zhuo’s record. But it did not an that he was done climbing.
Yang Chen had only stopped on the seventh step to give the other party so kind of false hope, only to brutally smash it apart the next second by climbing the successive steps and reaching the sa step as them.
That is to say, Yang Chen was now standing on the ninth step where Yan Zhuo was.
"Do I have the qualification to talk now?" he looked at the latter and grinned.
[Ding... you have committed a mischief, 150 points awarded]
As if triggered by his words, another tily notification arrived.
Yan Zhuo was slack jawed, his facial expression said that he was at a complete loss and unable to believe his eyes. The participant he thought was not worth his attention, had actually surpassed his record and managed to reach the step that he was on in their first try.
’This cannot be... how was this possible? There shouldn’t be any other participant that could match my achievent. I should have been the greatest talent here’.
Yan Zhuo felt like he was dreaming; however, the reality unfolding in front of his eyes told him otherwise.
"You!!?! How did you do that..." Yan Zhuo was just about to question Yang Chen, when the latter stopped him with a show of his hand.
"Ah, stop right there, I will hear your hysteric remarks after I reach the altar. Till then, could you not disturb " Yang Chen muttered before continuing his ascend.
The Ninth Step, it was still far from being his limit. And so he continued his march. With every step that he got closer to the Altar, he heard a notification from the system.
[Ding... you have committed a...]
[Ding... you have committed a...]
’Good... Good... Give more points’ Yang Chen thought internally as he continued to put on a show. This was the whole reason he was taking it so slow anyway.
Tenth Step... Eleventh Step... Twelfth Step... and finally with the next step, he would reach the Altar.
However, just before Yang Chen could take the final step, he felt a sudden surge of killing intent from behind him and his back pringling. The other party had actually attacked him.
"Die!!" Yan Zhuo snarled in rage. At this mont he wasn’t thinking properly. His decision making ability and mind was clouded by the fact that the other party managed to accomplish sothing that even he failed to.
In his hate and inferiority complex, he did not hesitate to attack.
[Purple Force Explosion] It was a battle skill that bestowed all of his attacks with a highy destructive force. If it struck Yang Chen, with their Three Star Battle Master strength, they would no doubt be severely injured.
Seeing his [Purple Force Explosion] slam squarely at Yang Chen’s back, Yan Zhuo flashed a smile. However, it beca stiff the next when the attack pass right through their body and continue heading up, ultimately slamming into the ceiling.
As for Yang Chen, he had already moved from the place at the first signs of danger. What Yan Zhuo saw there was just an afterimage that was left behind from his instantaneous movent.
"Where did he go...!?!!" Yan Zhuo’s eyes darted around seemingly to find the figure of Yang Chen. Although he did manage to spot him, but it was already too.
With an ugly expression on his face, Yan Zhuo saw the other party appearing near the Altar.
’[Ghost Steps]’ Yang Chen muttered inside his heart, materialising near the Altar. That just now was a close call, had he not activated his movent skill at the very last second, that attack would have surely hit him.
An attack from a late stage Battle Master was powerful enough to bypass the defence of his armour and gravely injure him at his level. Even though he possessed the Extre Evil Nihility Body, it would have still dealt so damage.
"This despicable prick," Yang Chen gritted his teeth in fury. That last attack from Yan Zhuo had completely pissed him.
With heavy and sombre steps, Yang Chen walked away from the Altar and towards the stairs where he glared down at his assailant.
Two pairs of eyes t, one was cold and deep like an abyss, the other chaotic and flashing with various emotions.
"It looks like it’s not only your attitude that needs correction. Since you were afraid of the other guy’s talent and that he might leave you in the dust, you attacked. Really, how spoiled of a brat were you? Well, it doesn’t matter, in the end, you were only so so".
"What did you say about my qualifications and limits earlier? It looks like you are the one who has reached his limits if you cannot even climb higher than the ninth step" Yang Chen kept ranting on, dismantling Yan Zhuo’s pride and spirit into pieces with each word.
"You!!" Unable to bear the taunts any longer, Yan Zhuo raged. Yet, before he could utter more than ’you,’ Yang Chen silenced him, still not finished with his verbal assault.
"Ah, so you do have sothing to say. Very well, let remind you of your own words. If you have anything to say to , say it after you reach the altar. Hmph, I’ll leave you to eat dust—what a joke!" Yang Chen made his enemy swallow their own words. He couldn’t deny the satisfaction of putting soone who believed they were special in their place and shattering their illusions and crushing their pride to pieces.
