Chapter 249 – Ye Sheng Taught Them a Lesson! (Third Update)

Seeing this scene, Gong Yun’s eyes narrowed, his heart instantly tightening with a sense of foreboding.

Beside him, Qiao Lingshan smiled and said, “Speed doesn’t mean much. It won’t be easy for him to break your record.”

Gong Yun nodded, but his gaze remained fixed on the Immortal-Passing Stele.

Soon, however, exclamations of shock rose continuously from the crowd.

On the Immortal-Passing Stele, that person’s name soared like a rocket, leaving many exclaiming in disbelief.

After stepping onto the Immortal-Passing Stele, the difficulty increased exponentially.

Each step forward required overcoming the ancient heroic spirits blocking the way, a process so arduous that one had to pause for a long time before barely managing to advance.

Yet Ye Sheng on the Immortal-Passing Stele seemed to stroll through as if walking on flat ground.

Those ancient heroic spirits posed no hindrance to him whatsoever.

“Did he just slaughter his way through?” a Saint disciple asked, his expression grim.

To achieve this, it meant the ancient heroic spirits were obliterated with a single move the moment they appeared, unable to delay Ye Sheng even for a moment.

Watching this, Gong Yun’s face darkened like water, his thoughts unknown.

Even if he could achieve such a breakthrough, he could never do it as effortlessly as Ye Sheng.

Beside him, Qiao Lingshan fell silent, realizing the severity of the situation. The power Ye Sheng displayed far exceeded her expectations.

The Saint disciples also grew serious, aware that they had encountered a major challenge.

“Qingren, is your Senior Brother this strong?”

In a pavilion, a female disciple asked in astonishment.

Hearing this, Gu Qingren curled his lips into a smile.

…

Ye Sheng’s speed was astonishing. In the blink of an eye, his name rose to second place, pushing Shu Mingxiu down to third!

Everyone held their breath, knowing this was the critical moment.

Only by breaking Gong Yun’s record could the Saint disciples be thoroughly humbled and the Great Emperor disciples regain their dignity.

Qiao Lingshan grasped Gong Yun’s hand, smiling as she comforted him, “Don’t worry, he can’t do it…”

How difficult was 7,000 meters!

Qiao Lingshan knew it well!

But before her words could fully leave her mouth, her voice abruptly cut off, her expression frozen on her face.

Gong Yun’s name, which had been ranked first, slid down one position to second place.

In the top spot now stood the two characters: Ye Sheng.

“Ah!~”

“He did it!”

“He shattered Gong Yun’s 7,000-meter myth, reaching 7,001 meters!”

“The Saint disciples have lost after all.”

After a brief silence, the crowd erupted into an uproar. No one had expected this outcome.

Especially those who had hoped to see the Great Emperor disciples humiliated felt deeply disappointed.

“Hahaha!”

Among the dozens of Great Emperor disciples, Zhao Wu laughed heartily, exclaiming with delight! He cast a provocative glance at the group of Saint disciples.

Shu Mingxiu fell silent for a moment, clenching his fist secretly, vowing inwardly, I will catch up to him.

“Gong Yun!” Qiao Lingshan murmured, unable to find words, and turned to look at Gong Yun.

Gong Yun’s face was grim, his hand clenched so tightly that his knuckles turned white from the strain.

As the leader of the Saint disciples, he had been humiliated so quickly.

“Gong Yun, one success or failure doesn’t decide everything…” Qiao Lingshan shook her head, trying to comfort him.

…

“Look! He’s still challenging the Immortal-Passing Bridge!”

On the other side, however, the crowd’s exclamations continued unabated, with no one paying attention to Gong Yun anymore.

Once a myth is broken, it is immediately cast aside from the center stage.

Now, Ye Sheng was the brightest and most dazzling star!

Everyone shifted their focus to a new subject.

“Qingren, when are you going to introduce your Senior Brother to us?”

“I’ll treat everyone to a meal!”

In the pavilion, a group of close friends surrounded Gu Qingren.

Gu Qingren, unable to bear the annoyance, replied coolly, “My Senior Brother is still challenging the tower…”

Hearing this, everyone finally restrained themselves and continued to watch.

The crowd was discussing, thinking that Ye Sheng had reached his Limit at 7,001 meters and should withdraw.

But unexpectedly, he was still challenging the Immortal Ascension Bridge—was he about to set a new record?

“He’s still challenging the Immortal Ascension Bridge,” the Saint disciples said one by one, their expressions grim.

“Arrogant!” one of the Saint disciples snorted coldly.

The group of Saint disciples knew very well that the difficulty increased significantly after 7,000 meters.

Even Gong Yun barely passed 7,000 meters before stumbling back, unable to take even one more step forward.

To put it bluntly, the Immortal Ascension Bridge beyond 7,000 meters was not designed for 4th Revolution Ghost Sect disciples.

It was meant for Senior Schoolmates!

They were still far from ready!

“He’s still challenging? Impossible!” Gong Yun looked up, his eyes filled with disbelief. The Immortal Ascension Bridge beyond 7,000 meters was only for Senior Schoolmates.

But next, Ye Sheng undoubtedly taught everyone a lesson!

Freshmen could also challenge the Immortal Ascension Bridge beyond 7,000 meters.

7,100 meters!

7,500 meters!

Almost in the blink of an eye, Ye Sheng reached the 8,000-meter mark! He advanced with unstoppable momentum!

8,000 meters!

Even many Senior Schoolmates would stop at this point, unable to take another step forward, having reached their Limit.

But Ye Sheng only paused briefly before continuing forward, as if wanting to see what lay beyond the Immortal Ascension Bridge.

8,300 meters!

8,700 meters!

8,900 meters!

When Ye Sheng stepped onto the 9,000-meter mark, the entire world seemed to fall silent.

The entire White Jade Square and the pavilions were as quiet as death!

No one made a sound!

They all stared with their mouths agape, dumbfounded by the sight.

Was this still a freshman?

Even Senior Schoolmates were no match for this, right?

“Ye Sheng!”

In the crowd, Shangguan Jianyun was shaken. He knew Ye Sheng was strong, but this was too outrageous!

How many realms had he surpassed them by?!

Suddenly… he felt a sense of awe toward Ye Sheng, realizing there was no way to catch up.

“Ye Sheng…” Xu Xiao and the other three were also speechless. Compared to Ye Sheng, they were nothing like Aberrations.

…

“What kind of Monster is this?” Qiao Lingshan felt her scalp tingle!

9,000 meters!

This had completely left them behind, placing them on entirely different levels. Even competing with Senior Schoolmates, he could hold his own.

How laughable that they had been so proud of their 7,000-meter record.

In front of this man, it was nothing but a joke. No wonder he had never even glanced at them—they were already on different levels!

“Gong Yun, we…” Qiao Lingshan turned her head, worriedly looking at Gong Yun beside her, afraid he might be affected.

She knew Gong Yun had always been incredibly proud!

“How is this possible?!” Gong Yun was indeed stunned! It felt like a thunderbolt had struck him!

He had always believed he was no worse than any Great Emperor disciple and had tried every means to prove it.

This time, he had succeeded, setting a 7,000-meter record and surpassing all the Great Emperor disciples.

Yet in the end… he was utterly crushed by Ye Sheng, who was also a disciple of the Great Emperor!

“Is this the true standard of a Great Emperor’s disciple?” Gong Yun murmured.

But Ye Sheng did not stop after reaching 9,000 meters; he continued forward.

The journey that followed undoubtedly left everyone numb.

Only when he reached 10,000 meters did that figure finally come to a halt. The reason he did not press on seemed to be that he had lost interest in the remaining stretch of the Immortal Ascension Bridge.
