My Dual-Cultivation System

Chapter 22 Beauty In The Tianhai's Trial

"Oh boy...You should hurry and go there soon. You're late for the trial." The middle-aged man said in a concerned voice and allowed him to proceed.

Seeing the black-haired beauty beside him caused him to treat Meng Long well as the man wanted to have a good impression of the girl.

Xue Rou turned towards Meng Long and whispered to him, "Only the participants are allowed there, So I can not go with you. Come back home when you're done. Good luck."

The boy nodded and climbed up the ascended platform. He walked towards the doorway as darkness invaded his eyes.

Meng Long felt coldness slightly enveloping his entire body but this sensation didn't last long.

A bright light blinded his visions and the surrounding cave changed into a blue sky.

He was standing on the fluffy white platform that was extended until an ascending golden staircase in the distance went up in the sky.

There was white fog swirling around him, making it a strange place.

Meng Long inspect his new location to discover the ground beneath him was transparent white.

'The grassland beneath this white platform appears to be too distant. Am I standing on the clouds? but this seems to be an Artificial one.'

He didn't contemplate much on his calculative thoughts and decided to approach the golden stairs that were visible to him from his location.

As Meng Long traveled, he spotted a person that wasn't visible to him due to mist around them.

It was an old man with white hair and a slim body. He had a beard and a perfect mustache with a pointy towards the end.

As if he felt someone was approaching him, the old man turned around to look at the newly arrived inner court student who had a cyan mask on his face and was late for the trial.

"You're late for Heaven's staircase trial. You should try next year." The white-haired old man said in a stiff voice.

"What if I join now?" Meng Long asked while looking at the ascending golden stairs a few meters away from them.

"Don't be Arrogant, Boy. Those who are participating in this Tianhai's Trial are mostly your seniors except one person and they are already about to complete the 500th step of Heaven's Staircase to reach the top platform.

There is no way you can catch any of them while you're 500 steps behind. You should know that Taking each tenth step increases the gravity on you based on your spirit energy rank. This will slow you down and make it difficult for you to move the higher you go.

Even if somehow you get to Heaven's Staircase's highest platform you still need to travel to the ground level before other of your seniors to get a winning rank in this Tianhai's trial.

Descending is even harder as each step will pressure you with the domineering strength of a high-level ranker who would be twenty ranks above you and there are two thousand stairs to descend. So I suggest it won't benefit you to take this Tianhai's trial this year as you're already very late." The elder explained in an educative tone as if guiding his junior to the right path.

However, he narrowed his eyes as the black-haired boy didn't take his words seriously and started moving towards the golden staircase.

Meng Long got near his target with a relaxed mind and stepped on the first golden step that was twenty centimeters wider and eight centimeters longer, enough to stand in.

He kept climbing upwards without a hitch and reached the 9th step. When the boy tried putting his foot on the 10th one, Meng Long could feel a slight pressure from gravity.

'It's a little heavier though but can be easily ignored.'

With a calm face, he kept continuing his journey towards the 500th step of Heaven's Staircase.

Ascending every 10th step was becoming harder as the boy climbed higher on Heaven's Staircase.

'Who is this kid? How is he going faster than everyone?'

The white-haired old man, who was behind him standing on the cloud-like platform, scrunched his face seeing the young boy climbing stairs faster than all the inner court senior students without caring about gravity at all.

Meng Long ignored the ground-pulling effects until he was at the 299th step.

'Seems like I have to use my spirit Sleepy Nova to pace up.'

He activated [Gravity Break] slightly and it became smooth for him to climb up his way to the top of Heaven's Staircase. It was as if the boy was taking a stroll in his garden.

? 'Ahhh...He is insane...'

The old man had his mouth agape seeing this unforeseen development occur which was done by a new inner court student as he had not seen the masked boy before today.

When Meng Long climbed the 500th step and reached the heaven staircase top platform he almost staggered seeing the person waiting there and smiling at him.

A blonde-haired girl with a divine-level beauty was standing at Heaven's Staircase top platform. She was gazing at him with her scarlet eyes that were filled with a fondness for the person she cherished.

"Hello Yue Yan, It's been a while." The beauty said with an affectionate glint in her eyes.

Even wearing a mask wasn't enough to hide his identity from this girl. That's how much they loved each other.

"You???? Why are you here" Meng Long asked in a cold voice as he never expected this girl to be here.
