7 Moving Forward

When Xi Ansel reached the 50th step he could feel a tiny bit of pressure but it was so miniscule that even ten times of it could be easily ignored by him.

It was at that time when someone fell. A young man on step 50 fainted as he couldn't handle the pressure.

Xi Ansel ignored it and kept moving forward.

There were many people who had already reached the 200th step and were moving without any hint of fatigue.

"This bunch of disciples are the finest in all of Ancient Mountain history!" exclaimed one elder with a proud expression.

" Yes, even the weakest one managed to climb up to the 50th step", another one nodded in agreement.

"It's Young master Gu Li! He has reached the 450th step", suddenly someone roared from the crowd which was spectating far away.

Everyone looked at the slim figured guy with sharp brows who was leaping from one step to another like playing a fun game.

"Look Young Master Ji Jian isn't slow either, he has also reached the 440th step", another one shouted.

A young man with a handsome face and a haughty appearance was moving fast but as soon as he heard the crowd cheering. He doubled his speed and started jumping higher so as to cover 2 steps at a time. This caused even more uproar in the crowd.

The moment Xi Ansel heard the name Ji Jian, his whole body jolted. It was like a huge storm broke out in his heart. As Xi Ansel watch the figure above him moving, his eyes were filled with cold and intense bloodlust.

'This BASTARD!!', the killing intent started multiplying and started leaking out from his body. This dense killing intent was like a huge storm that would massacre the entire mountain.

Xi Ansel didn't realize that his surroundings suddenly became silent. When he finally recovered and retracted his killing intent, he saw that the people near him who were moving forward were trembling. They were shaking like a leaf as they glanced at Xi Ansel. Some even fainted and some abandoned the test and directly ran away.

It was at that time when Xi Ansel realized that his killing intent had affected others to this extent.

Around 80 people had fainted and 20 were trembling.

"Hey, Did you sense that? It came from that brat", a person suddenly from the crowd watching far away pointed his finger towards Xi Ansel.

"I now doubt that he is a kid. Didn't you see the killing intent was so intense that I could even feel it from here.", another man with shabby looking hair added from the crowd.

"The chill I felt from here. It isn't something a kid can generate", a bald middle aged man continued with terror in his eyes.

Xi Ansel was really annoyed after hearing the crowds blabbering and so he directed his stare towards the crowd with vexation in his cold eyes.

Suddenly everyone in the crowd became silent. Even the elders stopped for a while. They didn't know why their lips stopped moving. But it was a reflex action, as if their body couldn't manage to gaze into the depths of Xi Ansel's cold eyes. It was not that Xi Ansel was stronger than them but it was as if their instinct stepped into action.

While looking towards the haughty leaping figure Ji Jian, who was far away on the mountain, Xi Ansel contemplated,' Hah! to think that I would meet him here. Good! Good! Well, his fate is already sealed. Should I play with him before killing him?..... Well, I should play a bit", thinking so Xi Ansel leaped towards the 175th step and increased his speed.

Swiish! Swiish!

Xi Ansel was as fast as the wind quickly passing through the stunned gazes of the people around him. He soon reached the 2500th step. It was this time when a pressure descended upon him. The pressure was not much and was easily handled easily by Xi Ansel. This pressure was at least 100 times greater than what he faced on the 100th step.

As he moved further, he saw many young men and women dropping on different steps. Some were even snoring. There were even people who gave up and sat on the steps in exhaustion.

"Look! someone reached the 4000th step", everyone in the crowd looked towards the beautiful young slender figure. The young maiden had jade like skin, a dainty nose, slender eyebrows and her hair was midnight-black as it flowed over her shoulders. It looked as if a fairy descended from the heavens to bless the mortals.

"It's lady Wang Xiao", all the men hearts jolted as they watched her moving. She was considered the top most beauty of Cyclops City. With her genius talent and cultivation of Elementary Realm 5th stage she was also known as the 'Heavenly Beauty'.

As Xi Ansel watched her move, his lips twitched and a smile formed on his face. Although Xi Ansel never had a chat with her in the previous life, he once remembered when he was being beaten she came forward to save him. Even though she didn't talk to him but Xi Ansel knew that she had a good heart. Seeing her today, Xi Ansel felt reinvigorated.

He quickly hastened his steps.

After a while Xi Ansel reached the 3000th step.

"COME", as he was about to take the next step he heard the same voice but this time the voice was not as dull. Now he was sure that it came from the peak of the ancient mountain.

He felt more and more curious towards the mountain's peak.

As he advanced, slowly and slowly the pressure started increasing but it pose no threat to Xi Ansel as his body was remodeled and he broke through the 3rd stage of Elementary realm.

This pressure had no effect on his speed and he kept advancing at a steady pace. He saw some familiar faces these were that of Hu Xiobai's group. Although they were advancing at a steady pace exhaustion could be seen on their faces. But Hu Xiobai was nowhere to be seen, he was way further then them.

Seeing Xi Ansel, the members of Hu Xiobai's group fell silent and started quivering.

Xi Ansel looked towards them and chuckled," Hey! Why are you trembling? Don't worry! I won't kill you......At least not for now", as soon as they heard the word , 'Won't kill you' they sighed in relief but the moment they heard the last words, ' At least not for now', their heart missed a beat. They started quacking in their boots, sweat flowed from every part of their bodies and eventually the robe which they were wearing was now completely drenched in sweat. It was as if they dived right into the middle of a river.

Xi Ansel glanced towards them again sneered and continued forward.
