16 【Staircase Of Will】
after Gu Xing fainted.
Zhou Wang took Gu Xing back to the wooden house and gave him a rank 3 healing pill.
After 3 hours, Gu Xing woke up from his fainting.
The first thing Gu Xing saw when he woke up was his teacher Zhou Wang.
"Teacher, how long did I sleep?" asked Gu Xing a little sleepily.
"You slept for three hours" replied Zhou Wang with a little concern in his tone.
"Tell me Gu Xing, do you have any pain or discomfort or hidden injury?" asked Zhou Wang like a mother hen who saw her child fall in the playground.
"It's okay, teacher, I'm fine," Gu Xing replied a little shyly.
He felt warm in his heart, that his tutor was so worried about him.
"Teacher, I want to go to the [stairs of will] to test the height of my flight" implored Gu Xing.
"No, today is impossible, maybe tomorrow.Today you have to continue to cultivate quietly and digest what you learned today," Zhou Wang said before leaving the room and going to cultivate himself.
Gu Xing sat on the bed and asked Sophia.
"Sophie, show me my status, I haven't seen it for a long time."
"Ding, show the status of the host"
"Name: Gu Xing."
"Age: 7 years and 9 months"
"Culture: level eight martial artist"
"Talent: Lightning Saint Talent, Heart of the Sword"
"Body: 'Death Body', 'Infinite Star Body'"
" cultivation technique: 'Death Sutra' (68% of the 1st stage / 21st stage) "
"martial technique: <Zhizun Jiben Jianshu> ( 73% perfection ) ---- < leiting kuijia > ( 12% small success ) ---- < Sword Of Death > ( 52% entry to the first level ) ---- < Kuie Zhao Shandian > ( 32% small success ) ---- < shandian jian > ( 89% small success ) ---- <Wei Feng> ( 26% perfection ) ---- <Shi Xiangya> ( 45% perfection ) "
"weapon: double sword"
"artistic conception: lightning rank 2 artistic conception at 33%, sword rank 2 intention at 29%"
Gu Xing sat on the bed and asked Sophia.
Gu Xing was pleasantly surprised by his improvement but he knows very well that he can still make some progress today.
And he was right because after a few hours of hard work, his lightning art design has increased by 3% to a terrifying 36%, while his sword intent has increased by 5% to 34%.
His sword intent is catching up a bit.
Gu Xing noticed that during his fight, his understanding of sword intent is much faster.
It is as if the fight is fuel that speeds up the understanding of the sword intention.
********************
The night passed quickly.
During this night he only cultivated, and with the rich density of Qi in the house he made great progress he is at 76% of the next level.
The speed in such an environment is so fast!
Gu Xing couldn't help but be excited about becoming stronger! faster!
To challenge all the disciples!
Getting stronger and stronger!
Gu Xing quickly calmed down.
Today he had to go to [the back stairs].
Zhou Wang entered the room and said, "Xiao Xing, it's time to go to the [stairs of will].
Gu Xing saw Zhou Wang enter the room.
Hearing what Zhou Wang said, Gu Xing quickly replied in an excited tone, "Then go," said Gu Xing.
.
Gu Xing and Zhou Wang walked towards [the stairs].
In front of the [stairs of will], there were not many people.
The [stairs of will], itself, is very large in width and height.
Zhou Wang began to explain, "Xiao Xing, the first time on the [stairs of will] is not very important, especially for you children, especially you who have not yet passed the baptism of the world, so you should not be discouraged if you do not go far, Also, Will power is something that is made through time, battle, and life and death experiences, and don't forget the [volition staircase] is a way to increase volition but also physical power" Zhou Wang finished his explanation which was full of warnings.
Willpower is something that is made through time, battle, and life and death experiences, and don't forget the [volition staircase] is a way to increase volition but also physical power" Zhou Wang finished his explanation which was full of warnings.
Gu Xing was a little upset by all these warnings.
"I want to reach the martial peak, how can a small [staircase of Will] stop me?" shouted Gu Xing in his head.
Gu Xing didn't waste any time and directly put his foot on the first step .
As soon as Gu Xing stepped on the first step, he felt an unprecedented pressure on his body.
*********************
as if a mountain was suddenly pressing down on his body.
*ssh*
"I was too arrogant a moment ago," Gu Xing thought to himself as he felt that he was approaching a challenge that he might not be able to meet.
Gu Xing immediately thought of using his Qi power to make it easier for himself.
Big mistake.
Gu Xing could not use his Qi power, so he had to rely on his body strength and mental strength during this test.
"This [staircase of Will] will be the biggest challenge of my life, even the [tower of challenges] didn't put me under this much pressure," said Gu Xing.
"The first step is already so difficult, what will be the other steps? ".
Gu Xing stabilized his body on the first step, then placed one foot on the second step.
*sigh*
The pressure on the second step has doubled.
Doubled?!!
That means with every step, the pressure will double!
Gu Xing saw the dream of breaking the record slipping away from him.
But he didn't give up, he stabilized his body, and after a minute or two.
he threw his foot into the third stage,
*woosh*
the pressure doubled!
Gu Xing continued.
the fourth step, the fifth step, the seventh step, ...
.
When he reached the thirteenth step, Gu Xing felt a menstrual pain.
His body could barely hold on.
Because of the pressure and pain Gu Xing felt in his bones, organs, muscles, Gu Xing decided to bite his lower lip.
You wonder why he bites his lip.
The answer is to avoid fainting.
A trickle of blood flowed from Gu Xing's lower lip.
Gu Xing put his right foot on the fourteenth step.
An even stronger pressure is suddenly put on Gu Xing.
Gu Xing quickly got into the lotus position on the fourteenth step.
He felt the pain in his body.
He understood the pain, he accepted the pain.
"pain is only a function of the brain and body to say that the body is in danger! am I afraid of danger? am I afraid of death? NO!!!" Gu Xing motivated herself.
Ten minutes later, Gu Xing felt the pressure on his body decrease as he stood on that step.
"Did the pressure on the fourteenth step decrease, or did my body start to get stronger and get used to the pressure?".
He immediately suppressed the idea that the pressure on the fourteenth step had decreased, the pressure on the stairs never decreased, never increased.
The pressure on the [stairs of will] never changes.
Gu Xing felt his body more deeply this time, he felt that his bones which were almost broken a few minutes ago, began to heal and even became stronger.
5 minutes later, with the help of his infinite star body and death body, his body completely healed and even became stronger, even though both bodies are not awake, it still gives effects that normal cultivators can only dream of.
After his body was healed, and became stronger, Gu Xing decided to try to move to the fifteenth stage.
"My body has become stronger, my willpower will be unstoppable, what a cultivator I would be if I can't even meet this little willpower challenge" Gu Xing became even braver, and without any hesitation. Gu Xing placed his right foot on the fifteenth step, then his left foot.
A monstrous pressure fell on Gu Xing's body.
Gu Xing tried to stand up, his back straight as a spear, his legs shaking a little.
But after a few seconds, Gu Xing was forced into a lotus position.
This time, it took his body 30 minutes to get used to the pressure.
Gu Xing went up to the sixteenth floor and it took him an hour and a half for his body to get used to it.
On the seventeenth floor, it took him 3 hours to get used to the pressure.
But this time, Gu Xing did not go up to the next floor, but went down.
Gu Xing has been on the stairs for 5 hours already.
It's time for him to go back home and start growing again.
At the foot of the stairs, only Zhou Wang was calmly waiting for Gu Xing.
Seeing Gu Xing relax, Zhou Wang looked at the plaque at the foot of the stairs.
He approached the plaque and said, "Show me the step that Gu Xing reached.
" .... "
No sound was made.
Then, suddenly, golden writing appeared on the plaque at the foot of the [Staircase of Will].
"Rank: No. 998,563 - Name: Gu Xing - Step No. 17."
"Hmm... reaching this step for the first time isn't too shocking, what is shocking is that he reached this step on his first attempt and he's so young" thought Zhou Wang.
.
Meanwhile, Gu Xing reached the first step and went down the [stairs of will].
Gu Xing glanced at the golden writing on the plaque in front of the [flight of stairs].
Instinctively, he clenches his fists a little because of his score.
17 steps out of more than 1,000 is laughable!
But Gu Xing doesn't give up and decides to come back to the Flight Stairs every day for at least 2 hours of training and the rest of the time will be spent cultivating, eating, sleeping and understanding art design.
"So Xiao Xing, how was your first ascent of the [Staircase of Will]?" asked Zhou Wang in a rather positive tone.
"Not too bad, but I'm going to climb the [Staircase of Will] every day for at least 2 hours" replied Gu Xing with a resolute tone.
"Great, I see that the [Staircase of will] has lowered your air pressure, so I don't think we should expect too much" said Zhou Wang with an optimistic and happy look.
Because the main cause of the geniuses' death will be their arrogance, and he himself understood it well.
Gu Xing nodded in response to his teacher and replied, "Don't worry teacher, I won't overdo it, I know my own limits."
"Then take this" said Zhou Wang and threw a small space ring.
Gu Xing used his Qi power to see the contents of the space ring.
Gu Xing discovered that the only thing inside the space ring was countless small porcelain bottles.
"Inside this small porcelain bottle is a special rank 1 pill called the nutrition pill, as the name suggests, taking one of these pills is enough to not eat for 10 days, and when you reach the level of Martial Grandmaster, you will be able to live without eating" explained Zhou Wang.
Gu Xing nodded in response.
Gu Xing didn't even ask Sophie to analyze the contents of the small porcelain bottle, a sign of Gu Xing's growing trust in Zhou Wang.
