23 Chapter 23 - Trial

Ye Ziyun saw Ye Feng getting all sweaty and grabbed a handkerchief and stretched out her arm to wipe his forehead.

''KYAA!"

''Get away!''

The moment Ye Ziyun touched Ye Feng's forehead, the pressure on Ye Feng was lessened by half and Ye Ziyun was thrown to the ground by the sudden oppression.

''It also influences gravity it seems'' Ye Feng said with a complex expression and looked at Ye Ziyun and asked with a worried expression, ''Are you okay?''

''Mhm'' Ye Ziyun quickly nodded while stabilizing her condition.

''Ning'er, I will try to get that Crystal, if you can't handle the pressure just wait outside with Ziyun, don't be stubborn!" Ye Feng once again told her again to not be stubborn in-case she would do something stupid and gritted his teeth while slowly moving forwards.

Ye Feng could still walk quite alright and reached the bottom of the stairs and counted them, '100, exactly 100 stairs! This isn't church, this is a Trial Room!' Ye Feng looked at the Crystal with some slight greed and expectation and stepped on the 1st stair.

'It's increasing!' Ye Feng frowned as he felt the gravity and oppression increase.

2nd step...

3rd step....

4th step....

10th step....

25th step....

Half an hour had already passed since Ye Feng began walking the staircase and his clothes were drenched with sweat.

At the entrance of the 'church', the two girls looked at Ye Feng with worried expressions.

Although Xiao Ning'er and Ye Ziyun wanted to run in and help him, they knew they would be more of a burden to him right now....

Ye Feng set his foot on the 26th step and felt his blood burning, not in a painful way, but a comfortable yet distant feeling.

'There is 74 Stairs to go, however, this method.... It's tempering my body!' Ye Feng thought to himself as he felt the pressure getting lesser and lesser the more he stood on a stair before moving to the next one.

'There is no way someone else's body would grow this quickly, either I have a Special Constitution or I'm just some kind half-breed' Ye Feng thought about the possibilities and could only assume it was one of these two options, there was no other way!

30th Step...

40th Step.....

50th Step.....

As Ye Feng stepped on the 56th Stair he felt his body beginning to tremble and black slime was expelled out his body in a rapid pace.

'What the fuck! It smells!' Ye Feng pinched his nose while he felt the pressure lessen at a rapid pace.

His bones were creaking and his muscles were bulging, a comfortable feeling rushed through his body as he felt as if his stiff body that laid in a casket for a decade suddenly got a massage!

This continued for two whole hours while the girls just looked in confusion, they could see that Ye Feng wasn't in any pain or uncomfortable but why did he stay there for so long and what was that black stuff?!

Ye Feng stretched his body and even managed to slightly jumped and grinned.

His body had at least 600 Physical Force now!

He had become a 1-Star Silver Ranked Fighter and if he wanted his body to be on par with a 2-Star Silver Ranked Fighter, he had to have 1000 Physical Force!

Ye Feng slowly raised his foot and stepped onto the 57th step and couldn't help but grin, it had become so much easier!

60th step.....

69th step.....

His body began sweating....

75th step....

His steps grew slower and his breath grew rapid...

81th step....

He felt as if his body was getting pushed onto its knees but kept his back straight....

88th step.....

Blood started to appear on his lips and small cuts appeared on his body....

92th step....

He felt as if there was no path to retreat, only to push forward, his clothes were drenched with sweat and blood while his eyes kept their focus as he stepped onto the 93th step.

93th step...

95th step.....

97th step....

Ye Feng's legs were trembling while a grin appeared on his face..... His body was getting stronger and stronger which only fueled his mind and resolution to continue.

98th step.....

Ye Feng put a foot on the 99th step and felt as if the pressure multiplied instead of increased as his body was nearly slammed into the ground.

'2 more steps! Don't be some dumbass that can't even get a treasure if he finds one you damn moron!' Ye Feng cursed at himself as he put his other foot down and looked at the last step that was like a mountain.

Ye Feng slowly put his foot down and the pressure on his shoulders suddenly multiplied again....

''NGHH!'' Ye Feng gritted his teeth and moved his last feet up to the last step.

As both Ye Feng's steps entered the 100th step, the pressure on his body completely disappeared without a trace.

''I should be close to reaching the 2-Star Silver Ranked Fighter already! Just tempering your body here is a huge benefit!'' Ye Feng grinned and stood in front of the throne.

He looked at the Crystal and stretched his hand to grab it, as he picked the crystal up a sudden rumbling entered his ears and he quickly looked around and saw the pillars shaking and some debris falling....

''The place is collapsing?!''
