Chapter 69 – Would you be willing to go circles with me?
Nine hundred and four!!
The moment Su Ming’s feet landed on the nine hundred and fourth step, the hearts of everyone outside jumped once more.
Jing Nan’s expression was complicated, silently pondering as he staring at the two words Mo Su. Grandpa Mo Sang by his side did not speak as well.
In the distance, Ye Wang’s heart was beating wildly, he had originally wanted to remain sitting, could not help but stand up, his eyes staring at the two words Mo Su on the statues without caring about anything else.
Him standing up, did not attract anyone’s attention either, everyone’s attention was completely focused on that name on the statues, Mo Su’s name.
Anxiety, depression and the silence had formed a strange formless pressure, enveloping the square, so much so that it has truly become silent.
They were all waiting, all waiting for Su Ming to take another step, to walk onto the nine hundred and fifth step.
Even after some time, the number behind Su Ming’s name remained unchanging, the people here remained silent, none were discussing, even the sounds of their breathing became softer.
After some more time, the number behind Su Ming’s name suddenly changed from nine hundred and four into nine hundred and five!!
The instant this change occurred, the entire plaza exploded with people’s voices.
“Nine hundred and five! He tied with Ye Wang!!”
“Mo Su, Mo Su, MO SU!!”
Ye Wang’s expression was pale, as if suddenly hit by a powerful impact, he staggered two steps backwards, his eyes lifeless and he let out a wan smile.
The current Su Ming who stood on the nine hundred and fifth step was similarly pale, he wanted to take another step forward, but he just could not muster the strength to do so.
Turning around, he looked at the misty summit. Although his breaths were heavy, his eyes shone, although he had not reached the summit, he currently still indubitably stood on the peak. While lifting his head, Su Ming slowly raised his right hand towards the sky.
Although he could not touch it, as he closed his eyes, he felt infinitely closer towards the heavens.
“Of the people in this world, just who would be able to see the heavens……” Su Ming muttered, opening his eyes, he no longer gazed at the skies, rather he turned to look into the distance, the boundless horizon.
He gazed at the boundless miss, everything was a blur, he could never figure out what lies beyond the horizon, would there be another tribe there……
It was truly far, truly far away……
After a long time, the happiness on Su Ming’s face became more apparent, he had forgotten his fatigue as he deeply inhaled the cool mountain air.
“I don’t know if I will ever reached the awakened realm in this lifetime…… I don’t know if I will ever become able to fly in the skies with my own strength…… to fly freely like a bird…… but today, I know, standing here, I am able to fly……” As the wind blew, Su Ming’s hair danced, his sweat scattering. Su Ming took out his tablet and tossed it towards the base of the mountain.
As the ranking table fell, it transformed into a black mist, racing towards Su Ming, as if wanting to drag Su Ming out of the mountain.
As the black mist approached Su Ming, Su Ming turned towards the vast horizon and jumped!
It was a truly crazy action as Su Ming’s body remained in between the skis and the earth, as if he was flying with his own strength!
Flying freely in the skies seemed easy, but in reality, it was something only Awakened cultivators could achieve, below it was impossible.
Su Ming desire to become stronger, he desired to reach the Awakened realm, he dreamed of flying in the skies, even if it was like this…… as long as even for a moment, he was able to fly without anyone else’s assistance, relying completely by himself, it would be fine.
The moment he leapt, as his feet left the mountain peak and stepped into the skies, the fierce winds seem to angrily blow at him.
The moment he leapt, Su Ming’s mind throbbed, but there was no confusion, everything was clear, as if the passage of time had suddenly slowed for him, Su Ming could clearly feel that he was flying. He could see the skies, he could see the vast earth, he could see the huge Feng Zhen Mountain, he could see the Fire-Man Beast on the mountain peak, and that beast was also looking at him……
Other than these, Su Ming could also clearly see the plaza outside the seal, he could see everyone out in the plaza…… all the way until the black mist arrived and enveloped him, rushing him out of the mountains at high speed, forming a spatial distortion as he flew through the Feng Zhen Mountain’s seal!
On the plaza, the instant Mo Su’s name on the statues turned gray, the skies seemed to distort as a black mist appeared in the center of the plaza.
On the plaza, everyone’s gazes concentrated on him, Wu Sen had long since stood up, staring at the blur figure appearing in the black mist.
Chen Chong similarly stared at the back mist with an unwavering gaze as a person appeared, he truly wanted to know just who on earth this Mo Su was!
Bi Su was the same, killing intent apparent in his eyes, without holding back the slightest, he clenched his fists and he stared at the appearing figure in the mist.
Not only them, on the plaza, everyone was the same, the hundred of people who had been watching the past two days were filled with respect as they stared at the black mist, watching as a figure gradually walked out from the mist.
Within the audience, those who took the most note of Mo Su were the people who had participated in the test with Su Ming, regardless of their rank, they had watched with bated breath.
The Wu Long Tribe’s old lady too eyed the figure in the black mist, she had wanted to know just how he looked like and what tribe he belonged to.
Si Kong was extremely nervous as he watched.
Bai Ling was too part of the group eyeing Mo Su’s appearance and could not help but watch.
Bei Ling, Wu La, Lei Chen, the Marksman and Shan Hen and the various people of the various tribe were all at this instant, staring towards that mist.
Ye Wang took a deep breath, trying to ease the complex motions in his heart as he stared at the mist in the distance, staring at the person walking out of that mist.
The center of everyone’s attention!!
As the mist dissipated, Su Ming walked out step by step, his body was the center of people’s gaze. When the mist completely dissipated, his appearance was clearly revealed to everyone, and the entire plaza became dead silent.
A common appearance, a very normal look, dressed in very common hide clothes, none of Wu Sen’s gloom, nor any of Chen Chong’s grandeur, nor Bi Su’s mysteriousness, or even Ye Wang’s aloofness.
In a crowd, it truly was hard for him to stand out, he was ordinary beyond compare. But everyone knew that this extremely ordinary looking person was nothing ordinary, but rather dazzling like the sun.
As Chen Chong saw Su Ming, he was shocked, he had never expected him to actually look so plain, so plain that it was hard to remember, but he somehow had the impression that before the test, this person was part of the crowd around him…… only, at that time he had completely glossed over him, ignoring him completely.
Bi Su looked at Su Ming, without any impression of him at all, even if they had met before, he had forgotten his appearance, looking at the current Su Ming had stunned Bi Su as well.
Wu Sen’s gaze landed on Su Ming’s body before quickly being retracted, his instincts told him that there was a high probability that this person was the person that took his lifeblood…… but……Wu Sen’s expression turned bitter, he did not dare pursue this…… after all, this Mo Su was someone on the level of Ye Wang, from this day forth, this person’s name would definitely become widespread.
The Wu Long Tribe’s old lady looked at the simple looking Su Ming, her eyes filled with praise. Whether she liked a person, the first impression was extremely important, which was why she so greatly disliked Su Ming, yet so highly regarded Mo Su.
Only, how shocked would she be and how would she react once she finds out that the two were actually the same person?
Si Kong’s heart beat quickly, his gaze filled with reverence, he truly respected the strong, especially this person who appeared to be as much of a genius at Ye Wang!
Bai Ling stared at Su Ming, her body trembling slightly as she looked into Su Ming’s eyes, those eyes felt so familiar to her…… only she did not know that two days ago, those same pair of eyes had appeared as well, watching her.
Bei Ling, Wu La, Lei Chen and the rest of the Wu Shan Tribe members gazed at Su Ming walking forwards calm as before. Su Ming’s heart was beating rapidly and was extremely nervous inside, but he appeared calm on the surface as usual, he had never been the center of so many people’s gazes in his life, after all he was still just a child.
As Su Ming walked forwards, the crowd parted to make way for him, from this ordinary looking Su Ming, was a radiance gave them no choice but to back away.
He might not have the gloomy aura of Wu Sen, but his ordinary face gave people the scary impression of the calm before the storm. He might not outshine his surrounding peers like Chen Chong, but within his normal looking figure contained a certain radiance, he did not need to outshine anyone.
He might not have been as aloof as Ye Wang, but he possessed the qualifications to make even Ye Wang acknowledge him.
“It is actually…… it is actually him……” In the crowd, a person giving way to him was currently stunned, he was the person who dragged Su Ming to pay respects to Chen Chong, never did he imagine that that person he dragged around was actually Mo Su.
In the distance, the monkey-face old man was similarly shocked, although he had guessed as such, seeing it for real was truly hard to believe.
Before this first test, the people that attracted the most attention was Chen Chong, Bai Ling and Ye Wang! The three of them forming three centers of people’s attention.
But now, the entire plaza focused solely on a single person.
“Mo Su!” As Su Ming walked forwards, from the crowd came a voice, this voice had belonged to Ye Wang.
Su Ming’s feet stopped as he turned to look at Ye Wang not too far away. For the first time, they had exchanged gazd as equals, completely different from before the test!!
“Mo Su, in the second test, let us compete once more!” Ye Wang slowly spoke, even though they are both tied for first place, given his pride, it was something he could not accept, he wanted to compete again, for the second time, for the third time!
“I am not taking part in the second test……” Su Ming remained silent for a moment before speaking, he had respected Ye Wang, respected this opponent of his. After speaking, he turned around and looked at Grandpa Mo Sang in the distance, seeing Grandpa’s happy expression, seeing his hidden message of not revealing himself.
Su Ming retracted his gaze before turning towards the Wu Long Tribe, looking towards the person standing beside the old lady, Bai Ling.
Lightly smiling, bearing the tension of being watched, Su Ming walked towards Bai Ling.
“Tomorrow night, would you be willing to go circles with me……” Su Ming walked closer, ignoring the distracted old lady and the excited Si Kong, rather he only looked towards Bai Ling’s eyes. Winking as he softly spoke.
Bai Ling was stunned, she was unsure how to reply, but the moment she heard the words go circles, and the familiarity in Su Ming’s eyes, her startled expression turned red instead as she nodded her head.
