Chapter 168 - 168 The Best in the Li Family!
168 The Best in the Li Family!
Boom!
When Lin Wudao stepped onto the first Dao step, he felt the same pressure as Xiong Tuo. It was as if he was wearing a heavy pair of iron shoes.
Other than that, all kinds of illusions and inner demons appeared on the seemingly ordinary Dao steps, trying to harass his mind and disintegrate his will.
“These 3,000 Dao steps are indeed something,” Muttering softly, Lin Wudao took a step forward and started walking.
At the same time, his sudden appearance also shocked many young masters and clansmen of the Li family.
“Li Chengyin?”
“Does the Second Young Master also want to try the Path to Heaven?”
“The other six young masters have all failed. Even the most outstanding Ninth Young Master, Li Chengfeng, only managed to take 800 steps. I wonder how far he can go.”
“He’ll be the first place if he surpasses 800 steps!”
…
The crowd discussed animatedly.
Others went to the Path to Heaven just to show off their aptitude and potential, but the members of the Li family were fighting for the position of clan leader.
At present, the Ninth Young Master Li Chengfeng had the best performance, reaching 800 steps.
If Li Chengyin could surpass him, he would be undisputedly the best in the Li family. At that time, he would also become the next clan leader of the Li family.
At the thought of this, everyone was filled with anticipation.
Other than them, Li Chengyin also came to the scene.
To hide his identity, he wore a black cloak that hide his figure. In addition, he also wore a mask.
“Emissary Dongfang has entered the arena. He will definitely be able to surpass 800 steps.”
Below, Li Chengyin clenched his fists, his eyes filled with intense anticipation.
…
Lin Wudao didn’t care about the Li family’s reaction.
He wanted to first use his disguised identity as Li Chengyin to probe the Path to Heaven, in preparation for opening the Heavenly Gate later.
Thump!
Thump!
Thump!
…
Lin Wudao walked on the Dao steps, looking extremely relaxed.
It was as if the pressure and illusions on the Dao steps were unable to affect him at all.
In the blink of an eye, he had crossed 800 steps.
This scene caused all the members of the Li family to widen their eyes. Even Li Chengfeng, who was usually calm and collected, revealed a shocked expression.
“This Second Young Master has really hidden well,” He muttered to himself.
He was very obscure and low-key, to begin with. Other than himself, no one knew his aptitude and strength.
He hadn’t expected that Li Chengyin had hidden even deeper than him.
The other party had crossed 800 steps so easily. As such, the next clan leader of the Li family was none other than him.
Seeing this result, Li Chengfeng could not help but sigh in his heart.
Although he was a little disappointed, he did not feel too conflicted. After all, he didn’t care much for the position of the clan leader.
On the other hand, the others all revealed strange expressions and gazes. Obviously, they were greatly surprised by Li Chengyin’s outstanding performance.
“It seems that Second Young Master’s position as the clan leader is already secured.”
“It is unexpected that he is the one who has hidden the deepest.”
“I wonder what the Second Young Master’s limit is? Can he walk a thousand steps?”
“Oh, looking at his condition, it shouldn’t be a big problem.”
…
The crowd discussed animatedly.
As time passed, Lin Wudao maintained a constant speed.
In the blink of an eye, he had crossed a thousand steps and was still advancing.
1,100.
1,200.
1,300.
…
2,000.
Hmm? Where did this genius come from?
After Lin Wudao had crossed 2,000 steps, a large number of onlookers gathered their gazes on him, and their eyes revealed surprise and astonishment.
“Isn’t this the Second Young Master of the Li family, Li Chengyin? He actually has such outstanding talent?”
Everyone was shocked.
“I heard that the Li family has recently experienced a huge change and their strength has been greatly reduced. I didn’t expect that there would be such an extraordinary genius hidden in the family.”
“2,000 steps is not far from the result of the True Dragon Academy’s successive disciple.”
“The Li family has produced a formidable character!”
…
At this moment, all eyes were on the Li family.
Even Li Heishui was shocked.
“Li Chengyin has such potential?”
He frowned slightly.
Although he didn’t have any enmity with Li Chengyin’s branch, he didn’t have a good impression of the entire Li family. Naturally, after seeing Li Chengyin’s outstanding performance, he felt somewhat displeased.
“I have a feeling that he will go even further than Xiong Tuo.”
Suddenly, Yin Siming’s voice rang out.
What was that? He was even more outstanding than Xiong Tuo?
These words made Li Heishui and Li Qingcheng widen their eyes.
As expected, just as they were astonished, a huge uproar suddenly sounded from the surrounding crowd. They raised their eyes and looked over, only to see that Li Chengyin had already walked 2,500 steps.
Moreover, he still maintained his original speed!
“Huh? This Second Young Master of the Li family actually has such talent and potential?”
Among those from the True Dragon Academy, Xiong Tuo and the others also revealed looks of disbelief.
“Senior Xiong Tuo, I feel that… You might be surpassed.”
At this moment, a disciple said.
“Sigh, so be it. What’s the big deal? There are so many geniuses in the vast Great World of Divine Desolation. What am I?” Xiong Tuo said indifferently.
After saying that, he continued to pay attention to “Li Chengyin’s” progress.
At this moment, Lin Wudao was still moving forward with Li Chengyin’s identity.
Relying on his indestructible body and powerful soul, the pressure and illusions on the Dao steps could not affect or threaten him at all.
Even though it was indeed getting increasingly difficult to advance toward the end, it was still just so-so to Lin Wudao.
Fifteen minutes later, he had surpassed Xiong Tuo and reached 2,500 steps.
Seeing this, the surrounding spectators all cast shocked gazes.
“This is a genius who is even more outstanding than Xiong Tuo!” Someone exclaimed.
“He is indeed amazing.”
“To be able to walk 2,500 steps shows that this person has a great aptitude and a firm Dao heart. In any sect in the Green Heaven Region, he is enough to be a successive disciple.”
“The Li family has produced a good seedling.”
…
Overwhelming praises sounded.
However, Lin Wudao was indifferent.
“2,500 steps. At this level, it should be enough.”
With that, under everyone’s surprised gazes, he flew out of the Path to Heaven.
“Uh, why isn’t he continuing?”
“He hasn’t reached his limit yet, right?”
“He was about to reach the Heavenly Gate. Is he giving up just like that?”
…
Everyone was puzzled.
He could have continued moving forward, so why did he give up halfway?
“Sigh, what a pity,” An elder of the True Dragon Academy said regretfully.
Similarly, the experts from the other factions also shook their heads.
In their opinion, Li Chengyin could obviously continue. They could not understand why he would give up halfway.
“Such a genius must be taken in as a disciple. Men, go and ask Li Chengyin if he is willing to cultivate at True Dragon Academy.”
“Yes, sir.”
Xiong Tuo replied respectfully and turned to leave.
Other than the True Dragon Academy, the Xia Dynasty, Baitian Sect, Yinyue Dynasty, and other major factions in the Green Heaven Region also sent people to Li Chengyin, wanting to take him in as a disciple.
Although Lin Wudao saw their actions, he didn’t care.
Whoosh!
After leaving the Path to Heaven, he took a step forward and returned to the Li family.
Not long after, Li Chengyin returned.
“Thank you, Emissary Dongfang!”
Thump!
Upon meeting, Li Chengyin kowtowed heavily toward Lin Wudao, filled with boundless surprise and gratitude. His eyes were filled with unprecedented excitement.
Seeing this, Lin Wudao nodded indifferently.
“I have fulfilled your wish for you. From now on, we have nothing to do with each other.”
After saying that, Lin Wudao restored Li Chengyin’s original appearance and disappeared in a flash.
