Chapter 16 The Flames Burn, and I Also Walk in the Courtyard

"Okay, let's test perseverance now." Lu Yunfeng announced.

On the left side of the platform, there is a ladder made of jade, there are nine steps in total, this is the ladder of flames.

It was made by the Lu family at a high price and was refined by Master Ming Lian. There are wonderful inscriptions engraved on it, which are very mysterious.

As long as people walk up, the inscriptions on the stairs will be excited, exuding a hot breath, covering the people who walk up.

People on it are like being in the flames, and they have to endure the pain and torture of the flames burning their bodies.

Although it is not a real flame, it is no different from the feeling of being in a real flame.

Moreover, each of the nine stairs is hotter than the other.

The test this time is that who can climb the ladder higher than who has been on it for a longer time.

The higher the time, the longer the willpower.

"I'll come first."

A sixteen-year-old boy from the Lu family first walked towards the 'flame ladder'. Flashing red light.

The young man's face changed greatly, and he seemed to be in pain, but then he gritted his teeth and stepped out again, climbing the second ladder, and then stepping on the third.

At this point, he stopped and began to resist the pain of the flames burning his body.

But after only ten breaths, his body began to tremble, his face was pale, his face was hideous, and he was obviously suffering a lot.

After another ten breaths, he shouted, unable to resist any longer, and jumped down the 'flame ladder'.

"Lu Li, the third step, twenty breaths."

Lu Yunfeng announced.

Then, the children of the Lu family stepped forward to test one by one.

But most of them are on the third step, the fourth step is like that, the time is only twenty breaths, about thirty breaths.

"I'll try!"

Lu Chuan walked out, glanced at Lu Ming, sneered, and stepped up the stairs.

He was very fast, did not stop at all, and stepped directly onto the fifth step.

Then he stayed on the fifth step for a full fifty-two breaths.

This surprised everyone.

"Well, it is Lu Yao's eldest brother. My sister is unparalleled in talent, and my brother is not bad. He can stay on the fifth step for fifty-two breaths."

Duanmuqing praised.

"Haha, the Duanmu messenger has won the prize."

The big elder laughed.

Lu Chuan smiled, triumphantly.

Then, the test continued. Several people had good willpower, and even two were not weaker than Lu Chuan. One stayed on the fifth step for fifty-two breaths, and the other fifty-five breaths.

But no one dared to step on the sixth step.

Soon, only Lu Yao and Lu Ming were left on the platform.

Lu Yao glanced at Lu Ming, then walked towards the 'flame ladder'.

At this moment, everyone's eyes were focused on Lu Yao.

There were too many halos on Lu Yao, and everyone wanted to see how Lu Yao's willpower was.

Talent is high, but willpower is not necessarily strong.

Lu Yao lifted the lotus step lightly and stepped onto the first staircase, and then stepped towards the second one.

One step after another, without the slightest pause, he directly stepped onto the sixth step in one breath.

The sixth step, this has surpassed everyone before, and everyone in the audience held their breath and watched it seriously.

However, Lu Yao didn't stop, and took another step to the seventh step.

"Lu Yao actually stepped onto the seventh ladder. It's amazing."

"Let's see how long she can last."

People guess.

But soon, there was an answer.

Eighty-six breaths.

Lu Yao stayed on the seventh step for eighty-six breaths before jumping down.

"sharp,

It's really amazing. I didn't expect that Lu Yao is not only talented, but also has such strong willpower. "

"No, that's the seventh ladder, and it's not comparable to the previous ones."

There was a lot of discussion on the field.

Lu Yao's face was flat, as if she had done something trivial, she turned and walked to the side, and when she walked past Lu Ming, there was contempt in her eyes.

"See? This is the gap between you and me."

A soft voice echoed in Lu Ming's ears.

"Really? You have to remember this sentence." Lu Ming showed a sneer at the corner of his mouth and walked towards the Flame Stairs.

"It's too much!" On the main seat, the Great Elder sneered.

"You say, how many stairs can Lu Ming climb?"

On the platform, Lu Chuan asked the other young people with a smile.

"In my opinion, the second ladder at most."

"I see, you can't stay for ten breaths on the second step."

Several other young people laughed.

But as soon as they finished speaking, the smiles on their faces froze, and their eyes widened.

Because at this time, Lu Ming had already stepped directly over the second and third steps, but he had no intention of stopping, and stepped up to the fourth.

Then, the fifth, the sixth...

When Lu Ming stepped into the seventh staircase, he still didn't stop. He stepped out and stepped onto the eighth one.

However, this is not the end of Lu Ming. At this time, he raised his footsteps and stepped out.

The hearts of the people in the audience seemed to hang with Lu Ming's step, and then fell heavily when Lu Ming stepped on the ninth step.

Then, there was a loud noise.

"God, Lu Ming actually stepped onto the ninth staircase, did he make a mistake?"

"What if you step on it? Can you hold on to it? It's the key. If you can't hold on to it, it will be a shame if you just take a breath."

The first elder said coldly, "It's fun if you can't bear the pain if you can't bear the pain for a while, and become an idiot with a broken heart."

"Ming'er!"

"Master!"

Under the stage, Li Ping and Qiuyue clasped their hands tightly in cold sweat, and their eyes were full of worry.

But, slowly, the discussion on the field became a little quieter.

Because ten breaths have passed by now.

Lu Ming actually stood on the ninth staircase for ten breaths, but he hasn't come down yet.

Obviously, Ten Breaths is just the beginning.

Time passed slowly, twenty breaths, thirty breaths...

Soon, it exceeded 100 breaths, but Lu Ming was still on it.

He was slender and stood on the ninth step like a sharp sword.

The whole place was silent.

"I think he's brokenhearted, wouldn't he have died in Shangman?"

The elder said coldly.

But at this time, Lu Ming smiled, and his voice came from a distance: "Lu Yao, what you just said is right, this is the gap between you and me."

These words not only slapped the Great Elder's face like a slap, but also slapped Lu Yao's face.

This sentence was given to Lu Ming by Lu Yao just now. Now, Lu Ming returned it to her with the facts.

Lu Yao looked at Lu Ming on the ladder of flames, her beautiful eyes flickered, but she quickly regained her composure, and said, "Lu Ming, you have been a waste all your life, and you are despised by others, but you have a good mentality and are quite resistant. But on the road of martial arts, willpower is only the foundation, talent is the main thing, and then I will show you the real gap between you and me."

As soon as this statement came out, the audience was stunned.

Think about it too, Lu Ming is a waste, he has been ridiculed all these years, and his mind is firm, that is normal.

"So it is!" Duanmuqing sneered.

"Is that really the case?" An inexplicable smile appeared on Mulan's face. She was looking forward to what Duanmuqing, the Great Elder and others would look like when they saw Lu Ming's performance.

On the stairs, Lu Ming's eyes were calm, he smiled faintly, and walked down the flame stairs like a stroll in the courtyard.

"Okay, now the first round is over, start the second round, check the pulse, and lift it up to the altar for checking the pulse." The second elder announced.

Afterwards, more than a dozen big men moved to an altar with a height of one meter and five meters. On the altar, dense inscriptions were engraved.
