Chapter 16 The flames burn, and I also walk in the courtyard
"Okay, start testing perseverance now." Lu Yunfeng announced.
On the left side of the platform, there is a jade-cast staircase with a total of nine steps, which is the Flame Ladder.
This was made by the Lu family for a large price and asked Master Minglian to refine it. It has a wonderful inscription engraved on it, which is very mysterious.
As long as people walk up, the inscriptions on the stairs will be inspired and emit a scorching breath, covering the people walking up.
When a person is above, it is like being in a flame, and he has to endure the pain and torture of the burning of the flame.
Although it is not a real flame, it is no different from the feeling in a real flame.
Moreover, the nine steps are hotter than the other.
This time, we are testing to compare who has been on it for a long time and who can climb the higher ladder.
The higher the time, the longer it is, the stronger the willpower is.
"I'll do it first."
A Lu family member who was about sixteen years old first walked towards the "Fire Staircase". When he stepped on the staircase, the entire Flame Staircase suddenly shone brightly and a fiery red light flashed.
The boy's face changed drastically, as if he was a little painful, but then he gritted his teeth and stepped out again, climbed the second ladder, and then stepped onto the third one.
When he arrived here, he stopped and began to resist the pain of the flames burning.
But after just ten breaths, his body began to tremble, his face was pale and ferocious, and he was obviously suffering a lot.
After ten more breaths, he screamed, unable to resist any more, and jumped off the 'flame ladder'.
"Lu Li, the third step, twenty breaths."
Lu Yunfeng announced.
Then, the children of the Lu family stepped forward to test one by one.
However, most of them are on the third ladder and the fourth ladder, and the time is only twenty breaths, about thirty breaths.
"I'll try it!"
Lu Chuan walked out, glanced at Lu Ming, sneered, and stepped onto the ladder.
He was very fast and without stopping at all, and he stepped onto the fifth ladder directly.
Then he stayed on the fifth ladder, staying for fifty-two breaths.
This surprised everyone.
"Well, it's not a pity that Lu Yao's elder brother. My sister is extremely talented and her brother is not bad. She can actually stay on the fifth ladder for fifty-two breaths."
Duanmu Qing praised.
"Haha, Duanmu Messenger has over-rewarded."
The Great Elder laughed.
Lu Chuan smiled and was proud.
Then, the test continued. Several people had good willpower, and some of them were even not weaker than Lu Chuan. One stayed on the fifth ladder for fifty-two breaths and the other for fifty-five breaths.
But no one dared to step on the sixth ladder.
Soon, only Lu Yao and Lu Ming were left on the platform.
Lu Yao glanced at Lu Ming, then walked towards the "Fire Staircase".
At this moment, everyone's eyes were gathered on Lu Yao.
There are too many halos on Lu Yao's body, and everyone wants to see how Lu Yao's willpower is.
High talent, but not necessarily strong willpower.
Lu Yao gently lifted the lotus step, stepped onto the first stairs, and then stepped onto the second stairs.
Step after step, without any pause, he stepped directly to the sixth step in one breath.
The sixth ladder has surpassed everyone before, and everyone in the audience held their breath and watched seriously.
However, Lu Yao did not stop and took another step forward and stepped on the seventh ladder.
"Lu Yao actually stepped on the seventh ladder, it's so amazing."
"Let's see how long she can last."
Everyone speculated.
But soon, the answer was found.
Eighty-six breaths.
Lu Yao stayed on the seventh staircase for eighty-six breaths before jumping off the staircase.
"Awesome, really amazing. I didn't expect that Lu Yao is not only talented, but also has such strong willpower. She is really a proud daughter of heaven."
"No, that's the seventh staircase, not comparable to the one in front."
There was a lot of discussion on the field.
Lu Yao's face was plain, as if she had done something insignificant. She turned around and walked to the side. When she walked by Lu Ming, her eyes showed contempt.
"Did you see it? This is the gap between you and me."
A gentle sound echoed in Lu Ming's ears.
"Is that so? You have to remember this sentence." Lu Ming showed a sneer on his lips and walked towards the flame ladder.
"Overbial power!" The great elder sneered on the main seat.
"You guys say, how many steps can Lu Ming take?"
On the platform, Lu Chuan asked other young people with a smile.
"In my opinion, at most a second step."
"Look, I can't stay in the second ladder for ten breaths."
Several other young people laughed.
But as soon as they finished speaking, the smile on their faces froze and their eyes widened.
Because at this time, Lu Ming had already stepped directly over the second staircase and stepped directly onto the third staircase, but he had no intention of stopping, and then stepped towards the fourth staircase.
Then, the fifth and sixth...
When Lu Ming stepped into the seventh ladder, he still did not stop. He stepped out and stepped into the eighth one.
But this was not the end of Lu Ming. At this time, he raised his steps again and stepped out.
The hearts of the people in the audience seemed to have been hung up with Lu Ming's step, and then they fell heavily as Lu Ming stepped on the ninth ladder.
Then there was a violent noise.
"Heaven, Lu Ming actually stepped on the ninth ladder. Are you wrong?"
"So what if you step on it? The key is whether you can hold on or not. If you can't hold on and get off with just one breath, that's embarrassing."
The elder said coldly: "It's fun to overestimate one's own ability, you can't stand the pain after a while, your mind will collapse and become an idiot."
"Minger!"
"Young Master!"
Off the stage, Li Ping and Qiu Yue clasped their hands tightly, sweating all over their eyes, and their eyes were full of worry.
But slowly, the discussion on the field became less.
Because ten breaths have passed at this time.
Lu Ming actually stood on the ninth stairs for ten days, but he had not yet come down.
Obviously, ten breaths are just the beginning.
Time passes slowly, twenty breaths, thirty breaths...
Soon, it exceeded one hundred breaths, but Lu Ming was still on it.
He is slender and stands on the ninth stairs, like a sharp sword.
The whole audience was silent.
"I think he's heartbroken, he won't be dead, right?"
The Great Elder said coldly.
But at this moment, Lu Ming smiled and his voice came from afar: "Lu Yao, what you said just now is right, this is the gap between you and me."
This sentence not only looked like a slap, but also slapped the Great Elder on the face, but also on Lu Yao's face.
This sentence was just given to Lu Ming by Lu Yao, and now Lu Ming has returned it to her with the facts.
Lu Yao looked at Lu Ming on the stairs of the flames, her beautiful eyes flashed, but she quickly returned to calm and said, "Lu Ming, you have been a waste for life and are despised by others. Your mentality is good and you can resist it. However, in the path of martial arts, willpower is only the foundation, and talent is the main thing. Next, I will let you see the real gap between you and me."
As soon as these words were spoken, the audience suddenly realized.
Thinking about it, it is normal for Lu Ming, a waste, to have been ridiculed over the years and to be firm in his mind.
"So that's it!" Duanmu Qing sneered.
"Is this really the case?" Mulan showed an inexplicable smile on her face. She was looking forward to Duanmu Qing, the Great Elder and others' expressions that would be like when they saw Lu Ming's performance later.
On the stairs, Lu Ming's eyes were calm and he smiled faintly, walking down the stairs of the flames like walking in the garden.
"Okay, now the first round is over, start the second round, test the pulse, and lift it up to the altar of test the pulse." The second elder announced.
Chapter completed!
