Limitless Ascension: Strength Amid Adversity

Chapter 161



The Flaming Mountain is surrounded by wide gullies and flowing with red magma. It is filled with boiling heat, making people inside it feel scorched and unbearable.

The surroundings were filled with billowing black smoke, surging with heat. The trial participants who came here were so smoked that they could hardly open their eyes. They were covered in dust and dirt, and their tongues were sticking out from the heat. They looked as miserable as dogs.

"What the hell is this hot!"

Ye Junlin moved forward almost non-stop. When he was about to stop, he would start rolling the dice, and then continue on his way seamlessly. The whole operation was very smooth and fluid.

However, the environment here is too harsh. It is simply a living torture for cultivators in the Qi training stage. Occasionally, they have to be careful of bursts of flames gushing out from the cracks in the ground under their feet. It is really hard to guard against.

"Hey, there's a crystal treasure chest."

On the grid where Ye Junlin happened to step, there was a treasure chest with a crystal luster. When he opened it, a card floated out with a few lines of words written on it.

"Just shout back, back, back, and your path will be clear from now on."

Seeing this, Ye Junlin did not hesitate at all. He pointed forward and shouted with wide eyes, "Retreat! Retreat! Retreat!"

The sound seemed to contain magical power. The path that was originally filled with billowing black smoke and gushing red flames suddenly became silent and looked brand new.

Even the sunken traps that emitted steam were automatically filled at a speed visible to the naked eye, and even the monstrous statues exploded and turned into ashes.

Just as the card said, this road will be smooth!

Ye Junlin walked on the road with big strides, feeling refreshed and as if bathed in the spring breeze.

Wai Ruigude!

at this time.

A burly middle-aged man wiped the sweat from his forehead, gritted his teeth and continued to move forward. The clothes he was wearing were largely burnt black, and his face was covered in dust and dirt. He was crying because of the black smoke.

"Give me six! Give me six!"

"You're paralyzed, you only gave me one point..."

Looking at the flipped side of the dice, with only one point, Li Wujie was almost mentally broken and cursed.

Looking at the edge of the volcano, which was still a long distance away, he felt that time was passing extremely slowly.

This damn place is so torturous!

"Oh, I really envy Hong Qianye for being able to leave here so quickly. I think this time, the inheritance of the Fallen Immortal Island may really belong to her."

Li Wujie rolled the dice again and walked to the designated grid with a hopeless look. Looking at the statue that quickly came to life in front of him, he felt a toothache.

"roar!"

A red flame beast that looked like a tiger with a single horn on its forehead pounced towards Li Wujie in front of it, with its mouth open and sharp fangs bared, like a jungle of swords and spears.

"What are you barking at?"

Li Wujie yelled, picked up the war hammer and smashed it hard.

The war hammer was wrapped in terrifying lightning, emitting a deep blue light, and exploded on the head of the Red Flame Beast.

Chilala!

The ferocious head was swallowed by the lightning, which quickly spread throughout the body. The Red Flame Beast was twitching wildly and wisps of charred smoke were coming out.

"I can't kill you with this hammer!" Li Wujie said viciously. After he hammered hard a few times, the Red Flame Beast finally stopped moving and turned into starlight and disappeared.

"call--"

Li Wujie exhaled heavily, looking at the domineering and mighty thunder hammer in his hand, not knowing whether to cry or laugh.

He is a sword practitioner after all, but here he is forced to use a hammer!

Really... it’s just a crap shoot!

"No, it would be shameful if I gave up at the first level. Just bear with it and treat it as a test. After all, everyone is going through this, so we all have to suffer together."

Li Wujie comforted herself.

 

After he finished speaking, he was about to take action when he caught a glimpse of a familiar figure in the distance out of the corner of his eye.

There was an indescribable ease in the way the young man walked. His body was clean without a speck of dust on it, and his expression was calm and relaxed, as if he came here for sightseeing.

 

There was not a trace of embarrassment, only calmness and composure.

The style is completely different from that of other trial-takers who have suffered a lot and are covered in dirt!

“Master!”

Li Wujie opened his eyes as wide as he could, and after seeing the man's appearance clearly, he exclaimed in shock.

Ye Junlin turned his head when he heard the voice, and said with displeasure: "Who are you? Why do you want to become my disciple?"

Li Wujie was stunned, his expression was uglier than crying, "Master, I am your third disciple..."

"Um??"

Now it was Ye Junlin's turn to be surprised.

He squinted his eyes and took a closer look, oh wow, it was true!

"Haha, I was just joking with you. Don't take it seriously. I recognized you at first sight."

Ye Junlin shamelessly found an excuse to hide his embarrassment.

"That's what I said. How could Master not recognize me?"

Li Wujie nodded and asked in confusion: "Master, why is the road you are on so smooth? It seems that there is not even a trace of fireworks."

In his eyes, the road where Ye Junlin was located was smooth and flat, without any black smoke or raging fire, which was in sharp contrast to other roads with harsh environments.

Out of curiosity, Li Wujie raised this question.

"because……"

Ye Junlin looked thoughtful, then slowly said: "We are different~"

Li Wujie: “???”

It's strange, why don't you just speak properly? What's with this weird tone?

"Do you understand?"

Ye Junlin said seriously.

"Uh," Li Wujie said with a toothache, "Maybe... maybe... maybe... you understand..."

"Okay, good luck, I'll wait for you at the finish line." Ye Junlin strode forward.

Li Wujie looked at the receding figure, and the corners of his mouth twitched a few times.

Just as he was about to roll the dice, he suddenly remembered something, slapped his head, turned his head sharply, and said, "Fuck!"

At this moment, Li Wujie suddenly remembered that the silver-haired young man seemed to be able to ignore the grids when he walked. Others could only walk six grids at most at a time, but he had already walked who knows how many six grids!

Is this normal?

In Li Wujie's mind, a voice with an accent echoed faintly, the kind that even came with its own echo, "We are different~~different~~"

A few seconds later.

Looking at the war hammer in his hand, Li Wujie threw it on the ground in anger and said angrily: "What the hell!!"

Ye Junlin had a smooth journey and soon left the Huoyan Mountain terrain. What came into view was the vast grassland.

"Well, the environment here is much more comfortable."

Ye Junlin came to the corresponding grid and saw a large emerald green leaf floating in front of him, like a small boat.

"Is this a flying prop?"

Ye Junlin stepped on it and injected magic power into it. The leaf trembled slightly, then emitted a emerald green light and moved forward rapidly with a whoosh.

The sound of the wind fills my ears, I feel the spring breeze blowing, and looking at the prairie makes me feel happy from the bottom of my heart.

Swish, swish, swish~!

After spanning five hundred grids, the leaf quickly withered and dissipated, and Ye Junlin also fell to the ground slowly.

"Wow, it turns out it has durability."

Ye Junlin smiled and continued to roll the dice, moving forward with the number sixty.

Arriving at the location, a diamond treasure chest was glittering, and Ye Junlin couldn't wait to rub his hands and walked forward, "It looks like there is a big treasure inside!"

When the diamond treasure chest was opened, two streams of blazing white light flew out, lingering on Ye Junlin's boots, emitting a brilliant glow.

At the same time, a line of prompting text appeared, "Congratulations, now you can run as much as you want, ignoring any grid, until you run out of this prairie."

 

"Okay, okay, now we don't even have to roll the dice."

As soon as Ye Junlin took a small step forward, he felt a mysterious force burst out, pushing him forward.

whoosh~!

The air currents on both sides were whistling, and the surrounding scenery was changing wildly at an outrageous speed.

Ye Junlin ran freely on the prairie, his thick silver-white hair dancing wildly, humming a light tune:

"Running with the wind is the direction~"

Not far away.

Two figures are competing with each other.

Hong Qianye narrowed his beautiful Danfeng Eyes and looked coldly at the mysterious figure in a black robe and hood riding a white horse.

"This guy is very fast..."

Judging by intuition, the man had a very familiar feeling, as if he had seen him somewhere before.

"Hello~"

Chen Xiao pulled the reins, controlling the white horse under his crotch, and ran across the vast grassland.

"Humph, no one can surpass me!"

Chen Xiao glanced at the figure in red from the corner of his eye, and felt very annoyed when he thought of the loss he had suffered at the hands of this woman before.

And now, there are only the two of them around, so the desire to win is naturally the strongest.

At this moment, the white horse raised its head and let out a shrill neigh, then its body turned into starlight and disappeared into the air.

"What? At this time..." Chen Xiao almost fell to the ground, but stood up in time.

"Haha, you're dead!"

Hong Qianye was overjoyed, "I will be the winner of this first round!"

"Damn it." Chen Xiao looked ugly.

 

Boom boom

Suddenly, a strong wind blew.

A blurry figure passed him at lightning speed, raising a cloud of dust, and headed straight for the end of the road.

Hong Qianye stood there in a daze, staring blankly.

Wait, did something just pass by?

And it looks a little familiar.

"Is it the one with the surname Ye?"

"Impossible! Even if he had set out just now, he probably wouldn't have even walked out of the first map!"

Hong Qianye vowed.

Just as he finished speaking, the small black dot that was about to disappear in front of him suddenly stopped and turned back.

"Xiaohong, so you are here." Ye Junlin said with a smile while keeping running.

boom!

Hong Qianye's head seemed to be struck by thunder, his brain was buzzing, his lips trembled, and he said, "Ah, this, Master, why are you..."

"Can't you see? The master is running."

"Okay, I won't say any more. I'm going to keep going. Come on, you guys! I'll be waiting for you at the finish line!"

Ye Junlin said this, turned around and ran away.

The corner of Hong Qianye's eye twitched, and he felt mixed emotions. He had just made bold statements, but in the blink of an eye, he was slapped in the face.

It really is…

Chen Xiao was even more shocked.
