Dreams and fists shatter the sky

Chapter 229: Strength of the Second Generation Party

Step 5055.

Both Huang Zexun and Ye An were very relaxed.

Huang Zexun spoke while Ye An listened attentively.

"That guy is quite a monster."

"Xu Xu's daughter, Xu You."

"She walks the path of the Supreme Dao and condenses the Dao Fruit."

"That woman is a pure elemental master, practically a walking humanoid elemental bomber."

"The Fire Swallow you saw that day fought Xu You two years ago."

"It was a draw."

"But now Xu You should have surpassed Fire Swallow."

"I was there too at the time. Both were at the late stage of the Third Realm, and the battle covered an area of ??about a thousand kilometers."

"Now even a battlefield of ten thousand meters radius wouldn't be enough for them."

"I heard Xu You also fought Zhao Huaiyi, but don't know the result."

"But judging from now on, you can't beat her."

"You can't withstand her elemental bombardment."

Ye An glanced at him, asking, "Can you win?"

Huang Zexun shook his head. "I can't win."

Ye An replied, "It's enough for me to be able to win against you."

"What?" Huang Zexun looked surprised. "I thought you were the kind of strong person who wants to win against everyone."

"I didn't expect you to have such a small ambition."

Ye An chuckled lightly, "I said 'now.'"

Huang Zexun raised an eyebrow, "I'm talking about 'now' too."

"Now I can't win against her, but that doesn't mean I can't in the future."

"As for whether I can win against you..."

"Tired?"

The two had already reached step 5150.

Ye An shrugged, "Do I look tired to you?"

Huang Zexun glanced at him and continued to climb.

Ye An asked curiously, "But what does Xu You's Dao Fruit have to do with you?"

Huang Zexun replied calmly, "Of course it does. We're all in competition. Her Dao Fruit gives us something to stabilize against, and later I heard you've condensed one too. It's hard not to be anxious."

"How do you condense a Dao Fruit?" Ye An asked.

"What?" Huang Zexun was taken aback. "Are you asking someone who doesn't have a Dao Fruit how to condense one?"

"Are you serious?"

Ye An shook his head, "Actually, I condensed mine somewhat unintentionally."

"It was more about opportunity than strength."

"Well, well, you're quite modest." Huang Zexun smirked. "But Xu You's explanation is similar to yours."

"She also said it happened unconsciously."

"I really envy you lucky people."

"According to the elders on my side, it's about merging with the Dao, and the Dao Fruit comes naturally."

"It's not because you have the Asura Dao Fruit that you look like an Asura."

"Rather, it's because you are already an Asura that you have the chance to obtain the Asura Dao Fruit."

Ye An nodded silently.

During this chat, the two had already climbed to step 5250.

Huang Zexun furrowed his brow slightly.

Because Ye An seemed even more relaxed than he had anticipated.

The conversation paused.

Both silently ascended.

Step 5295.

This was the record left by the Fourth Generation King in the Fourth Realm.

Now both had stepped into the Fifth Realm, so going up shouldn't be difficult.

But Ye An seemed to be handling it more easily than Huang Zexun.

This made Huang Zexun serious.

Step 5300, both stepped over without hesitation.

Step 5350.

Huang Zexun glanced at Ye An. Ye An looked serious, sweat covering his body, but his face wasn't as solemn as expected.

Step 5399.

Huang Zexun paused his steps, turned to look at Ye An.

Every 1000 steps was a major realm.

100 steps was a minor realm.

Both were now sweating profusely.

The next step would dramatically increase the pain they endured.

Step 5430!

Although Huang Zexun continued to climb, his eyes were fixed on Ye An, who was still at step 5499.

He seemed somewhat depressed.

"I'm watching him."

But he was looking ahead!

It seemed that victory or defeat was imminent!

But this contest was just beginning!

Huang Zexun took a deep breath, gritted his teeth, and began to climb faster!

Ye An frowned.

The opponent suddenly surpassed him.

He seemed to be going mad, ignoring the great strength exerted on him, and climbing desperately.

Ye An remained calm and continued to ascend steadily.

Soon.

Huang Zexun's feet stopped at step 5499. The critical point was reached; he was well aware of the consequences if he went further.

He sat cross-legged, adjusting his breath.

Ye An frowned slightly.

Martial intent surged within Huang Zexun's body, causing faint vibrations around him.

Gathering strength?

Ye An understood what he was about to do.

Five minutes later, Ye An also swiftly reached step 5499.

At this moment, he bore the same pressure as Huang Zexun, and his face was almost identical.

Five minutes faster or slower, there was little difference.

If Ye An remained steadier, his complexion might have been better at this moment.

But he couldn't wait to see what Huang Zexun would do next.

Huang Zexun said lightly, "Your martial intent is bigger than mine."

"And your endurance is stronger than mine."

"People from small places like where you come from can endure more hardships than us second-generation rich kids."

"Isn't that right?"

Ye An frowned.

But Huang Zexun asked and answered himself, "I don't think so!"

He stared straight at Ye An and said, "Even if you're a bit stronger than me, you can't be strong enough to ignore this critical point."

"Not just you, even Xu You would have to stop here."

"Even Zhao Huaiyi, how much stronger is he?"

"So what we're comparing is simply how many steps we can take after passing this critical point."

Huang Zexun suddenly looked up, "Vibration!"

As he spoke, the innate rune inside his body rotated rapidly, and the martial intent he had just accumulated erupted entirely.

Around Huang Zexun, the steps trembled, as if they had turned into a very hard trampoline.

But with the infusion of martial intent, the trampoline softened and collapsed!

Finally, Huang Zexun roared, and his entire body bounced high.

He threw himself out, wanting to exceed the original limit.

But there were rules to the Vermilion Bird Steps.

You had to stand firm for it to count. Even if he reached above step 5500, it wouldn't count unless he stood firm.

Ye An watched as Huang Zexun traced an arc in the sky.

Huang Zexun's gaze was fixed on step 5549, but when he landed, his eyes fell on step 5554.

However, his eyes suddenly turned fierce when his feet landed on step 5555!

At the moment his feet met the Vermilion Bird Steps, boundless pain fell on his shoulders.

Huang Zexun howled in pain to the sky.

His body trembled violently, as if being pressed down by hands, but he tried his best to support himself and get up.

Blood gushed crazily from his body, and a mad smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, like a demon.

"Asura Dao, enemy of ten thousand!"

"Forward with no fear, shattering all!"

The powerful voice fell.

Huang Zexun suddenly stood up forcefully, stabilized himself for a second, and then fell down, rolling down below.

To stand firm was to count.

Huang Zexun finally stopped at step 5555.

If Ye An could not exceed this number, then he would lose.

Huang Zexun suddenly exerted force while rolling on the steps and grabbed step 5455.

He crawled on the steps with difficulty and lay on the steps, lifting up the bloodstained face, glaring straight at Ye An, who was still standing on step 5499, and said, "It's your turn."

"Don't let me down!"

Ye An looked down at him and suddenly asked, "Do all the second-generation parties have such strength?"

Huang Zexun smiled and said, "Of course, they're all good, just a little worse than me."

"Come on, I want to know how far you can climb!"
