"What's going on with Feng Yuqin?" Lin Tianlong frowned and said.
Kou Chengzhi burst into laughter. "They must have been chatting at the back just now. Now that they've stopped chatting, they've overtaken others."
"Could they have cheated?" Lin Tianlong said reluctantly.
Liu Yu from the Law Enforcement Hall gave him a disdainful look. "Do you think she could cheat? Do you think the people in our academy are all dead?"
Lin Tianlong: "..."
"Lin Tianlong, it's not embarrassing to admit that others are better." Kou Chengzhi taunted.
"I'm not denying that they're good," Lin Tianlong said with an ugly expression. "I just think it's incredible that they were in the last place just now and suddenly overtook several groups."
"Just because you can't do it doesn't mean others can't," Kou Chengzhi said calmly. "In this world, there are people who are born to make others feel inferior."
Lin Tianlong: "..."
This guy really... Can't he live without taunting him?
While they were chatting, Feng Yuqin and her group overtook another group.
Feng Yuqin glanced at the two people beside her. They were already sweating profusely from exhaustion but still gritted their teeth and silently followed closely behind her.
She stopped, and Zhao Yuanyuan and Dong Yaxian beside her also instinctively stopped.
"Aqin, what's wrong?" Dong Yaxian asked.
"Let's take a break," Feng Yuqin said.
Hearing this, Zhao Yuanyuan plopped down on the steps.
Dong Yaxian didn't care about the unseemly appearance of a girl sitting on the steps either.
She just sat down on the other side of Zhao Yuanyuan.
"Aqin, why don't you look tired at all?" Zhao Yuanyuan looked up at Feng Yuqin and saw that she really didn't look exhausted at all.
"Well, I used to train my physical strength before I started cultivating, so these steps are no problem for me," Feng Yuqin's words stunned Zhao Yuanyuan and Dong Yaxian.
But the people outside thought Feng Yuqin was lying.
Before they started cultivating, they were usually just kids, and they should nourish their bodies well to prepare for cultivation.
How could they train their physical strength?
Training physical strength wasn't very useful for cultivators.
After all, they didn't have to go through the Gravity Stairs every day.
At most, they would train hard by sealing their spiritual energy before the trial.
But after the trial, they wouldn't seal their spiritual energy anymore.
After all, they were used to relying on spiritual energy. If it weren't for the trial, who would be so stupid as to seal their spiritual energy and train?
"That was a long time ago, right? After all these years, haven't you lost your strength?" Zhao Yuanyuan asked.
"No," Feng Yuqin felt that it was engraved in her bones.
"Feng Yuqin seems to like lying. It's obviously impossible. How could she still be so strong after more than a decade?"
"Yeah, she's really a liar."
What they didn't know was that Feng Yuqin hadn't been here for more than a decade.
She had only been here for a few years since she was transmigrated.
So it was normal for her not to forget.
Even if it had been more than a decade, she still wouldn't forget.
"Let's continue," Dong Yaxian looked at the groups in front of them. If they didn't hurry up, they would be overtaken.
Although Feng Yuqin had said something about the bet and that she would give them the spiritual herbs even if they lost, Dong Yaxian still didn't want to take advantage.
So they would do their best to get the first place this time.
Zhao Yuanyuan had the same idea.
So the two of them gritted their teeth and continued climbing.
In the end, they were climbing on all fours.
Their perseverance shocked the Dong and Zhao families.
"These two kids usually like to play around, but they can persevere for so long this time," Uncle Zhao of the Zhao family knew Zhao Yuanyuan's personality very well.
So now he was surprised to see that although Zhao Yuanyuan was almost at the end of her strength, she could still persevere for so long.
"My daughter, Xian'er, has never been able to persevere like this before," Dong Ruiming, Dong Yaxian's father, felt heartache seeing his daughter like this, but he was still happy that she could persevere.
"I hope they can keep it up," Uncle Zhao said.
"Maybe Feng Yuqin is the one who can change them," Dong Ruiming looked at Feng Yuqin with burning eyes.
They knew very well what their own children were like.
These two kids used to be in the Fantasy Sky Academy.
But... they were really troublemakers.
And they didn't cultivate hard.
Now seeing that they could change so much after just getting to know Feng Yuqin, the parents of the two families were quite relieved.
...
Time passed in a flash.
Feng Yuqin led Zhao Yuanyuan and Dong Yaxian to overtake the first group, and the people in that group were stunned.
"What the hell? How did Zhao Yuanyuan and the others overtake us?" Shi Zhenxiang said in disbelief.
He Tianyu was also shocked. "We were in the first place. How did they get to the first place?"
Another member of the first group also said, "Weren't they in the last place before? How did they overtake us? Am I having an illusion?"
They had reached the first place and then didn't look at the back anymore.
Because the second group was far behind them.
So they never thought that the people from the second group could overtake them.
In fact, the second group was still far behind them.
The ones who overtook them were not the second group but the last group, Feng Yuqin and her two companions.
"You cheated," Shi Zhenxiang realized what had happened and instinctively said to the three of them.
The accusing tone in her voice immediately annoyed Feng Yuqin and the other two.
Feng Yuqin was about to speak, but Zhao Yuanyuan preempted her. "Shi Zhenxiang, what are you talking about? Are you questioning that there's something wrong with the Gravity Stairs of the Mountain and Sea Academy?"
Shi Zhenxiang was speechless for a moment, but she still said reluctantly, "When we were in the first place, you were clearly in the last place. How did you get to the first place now? This doesn't make any sense."
"You're just too weak and you blame others for being too strong," Dong Yaxian taunted.
Feng Yuqin glanced at them indifferently and said to Zhao Yuanyuan and Dong Yaxian, "Let's go. We only have fifty more steps to finish the Gravity Stairs. Let's try to finish them in one go. You guys okay with that?"
"Okay," Zhao Yuanyuan and Dong Yaxian said in unison.
Seeing the three of them turn around and continue climbing, Shi Zhenxiang and the others immediately got anxious. "No, you can't go up anymore..."
However, the three of them ignored her and just took steps upwards.
"Cousin, hurry up. We can't let them get the first place," Shi Zhenxiang said.
He Tianyu nodded. "Yes, there are rewards for the first place in each trial. We can't let them take the rewards. The rewards are ours."
