Chapter Thirty-Three: Sharp Edges Revealed

  "Charge!"

  With a shout, the young men of the Ji family, who had been waiting for the opportunity to strike, shot out like sharp arrows, rushing straight towards the top of Qingyan Mountain.

  Against everyone's expectations, the one who ranked first was not Ji Changsheng or Ji Changle, nor any of the outstanding young men from the Ji family's side branches, but rather the unassuming and low-key Ji Yuqing!

  Only to see Ji Yueqing's body suddenly jump up, her foot stepped on a stone that protruded from the ground, and with a fierce kick, her body was already soaring upwards, leaving all the young masters of the Ji family far behind.

  Huh?

  "Ji Yu Xing let out a soft cry, her face filled with surprise and delight. She turned to Ji Huang Guang beside her and asked loudly, 'Has that little girl, Yue Qing, already broken through to the Two Instruments Heaven realm?'"

  Ji Huang Guang's face was filled with pride, smiling and nodding, he glanced at Ji Yu Sheng and Ji Wan Yun in the distance, his voice rising, saying: "Not bad, this Moon Qing girl, half a month ago she broke through her bottleneck, now she has entered the Two Instruments Heaven realm!"

  Standing behind Ji Huang Guang, Zhao's body suddenly straightened up, and she whispered: "Yu Qing Tian has an extraordinary talent, after many years of hard work, it is only natural to make progress! Unlike some people, not only are they weak in strength, but also seem to have a poor brain, and can't even choose a good place..."

  "What did you say?" Ji Yu Sheng's face changed color and he shouted loudly.

  Zhao hummed softly and said no more, but the disdain on his face deepened.

  "Dad, don't bother with these petty people! Just watch and see, Chang Kong is doing this for a reason." Seeing Ji Yu Sheng was about to make another scene, Ji Wan Yun softly called out, her voice rising slightly when she said the words "petty people", as if wanting someone to hear.

  "Wan Yun, does he really have the cultivation of Yuanyuan Tianzhen Peak? If he has reached this realm, why would he choose to ascend in such a desolate place?" Ji Yusheng had doubts in his heart and couldn't help but ask in a low voice.

  In front of so many members of the Ji family, young and old, as well as Nie Yuanshan and Shao Kang, Ji Changkong had previously acknowledged that his strength had reached the peak of the First Heaven. If he didn't make a brilliant performance in the assessment, not only would Ji Changkong lose face, but Ji Yusheng would also be humiliated, so Ji Yusheng was very nervous at this time.

  "Don't worry, Longkong will surely give everyone a surprise!" Ji Wanyun didn't know what Longkong meant by doing this, but she blindly believed that Longkong would definitely make a stunning performance in the assessment. Knowing Longkong's true abilities, she wasn't worried at all.

  After saying that to Ji Wanyun, although Ji Yusheng still felt a bit uneasy in his heart, he didn't continue to say anything else and like Nie Yuanshan and Shao Kang, fixed his gaze firmly on Ji Changkong.

  At this critical moment, Ji Changkong suddenly turned his head and looked at Ji Haoguang, Zhao Shi and others, with a strange and cold smile at the corner of his mouth.

  Suddenly, the motionless Ji Changkong finally stretched out his hands and placed them on the smooth, mirror-like hard green rock in front of him.

  Ah!

  The five fingers of Ji Changkong directly pierced through the extremely hard Qingyan Mountain, and his fingers were deeply inserted into the notoriously hard Qingyan stone!

  Just now still proudly praised Ji Yuexing, Ji Haoguang, Zhao Shi and others, their faces suddenly changed.

  Right at this moment!

  The princess suddenly let out a long whistle and rushed towards the top of Qingyan Mountain.

  Cock-a-doodle-doo! Cock-a-doodle-doo! Cock-a-doodle-doo!

  Without relying on any foothold, Ji Changkong's hands were like iron pincers, and with one jab, his five fingers directly sank deep into the green rock!

  Without relying on any fulcrum, Ji Changkong's entire body was suspended in mid-air, swaying back and forth, supported only by one arm, with both hands alternating, leaving a row of shocking holes on the hard, dark green rock!

  Like a sensitive gibbon, he soared upwards, throwing off one by one the sons of the Ji family who had rushed to the top ahead of time!

  ……

  Dead silence!

  At the foot of the mountain, all onlookers were stunned, their faces filled with shock and bewilderment, their eyes fixed intently on Ji Changkong.

  At this moment, it seemed that only Ji Changkong was left on the Qingyan Mountain. Their gazes fell on him one after another, as if they were all waiting for the cultivator to appear, and there was only him!!!

  Ji Yu Xing, Ji Huan Guang, Zhao Shi and several others, their mouths wide open, their throats making "gulping" sounds, their eyes bulging out, as if they didn't dare to believe their own eyes.

  Ji Yu Sheng, who had been nervous all along, stomped his feet at the foot of the mountain, his body trembling slightly, with an uncontrollable excitement and joy on his face.

  He subconsciously tugged at Ji Yuanyun's hem with one hand, while pointing at Ji Changkong who was climbing the mountain in an unbelievable way with the other. His old face flushed red with excitement, he seemed to want to say something to Ji Yuanyun, but because his emotions were too stirred up, he couldn't utter a sound.

  Ji Wanyun's mouth was also wide open. Although she knew that Ji Changkong was extraordinary, she did not expect him to be so outstanding today!!

  Nie Yuanshan and Shao Kang's faces were solemn, their eyes falling on the deep holes on Ji Changkong's body.

  The hardness of the blue rock, both of them had a number in their minds. Let alone the heavenly masters of the One Yuan Tian realm, even the heavenly masters of the Three Cai Tian realm, if their internal yuan force was not deep enough and they were not skilled enough to control the spouting of yuan force at will, they would not be able to use their fingers to directly pierce through the blue rock!

  This... such a scene can only be described as unbelievable!

  Nie Ruolan was completely stunned, staring blankly, her mind momentarily unable to react. Her strength had reached the realm of three days of talent, but she couldn't purely use her fingers to leave such deep holes on the surface of the hard and unyielding Qingyuan stone!

  Is he really that good-for-nothing? How is this possible? Nie Ruolan's expression was dazed...

  The middle of Mt. Seiroku.

  Those Ji family young masters who were left in the dust by Ji Changkong were also shocked stiff.

  They looked at the shocking deep holes next to them, and their hearts were shocked beyond words. It seemed that they didn't dare to believe the magnificent feat in front of them was from Ji Jia, who two years ago was weak and timid, unable to fight back or retort!

  Many people were stunned and forgot that they were still in the trial, while some others, who occasionally saw the magnificent scene of Ji's family son beside them during the critical moment of climbing, lost their concentration and accidentally grabbed empty air instead of the supporting stone blocks, and suddenly fell from the middle of the mountain to the cliff.

  Nie Yuanshan, who was stunned, suddenly reacted when he heard the shrill cry and hastily stretched out his hand to cast a series of starlight, stabilizing the bodies of those Ji family young masters who had accidentally fallen off the cliff during their trial, allowing them to land safely.

  ……

  The girl seemed to be unaware of the shock she had caused to the people below, and continued to climb up the mountain with all her might. Suddenly, one hand plunged down, and on the hard, unyielding green rock in front of her, five deep and shocking holes were left behind.

  At this moment, years of bitterness and humiliation seemed to have been thrown far behind him, as if slowly drifting away from him.

  The higher she went, the more comfortable and pleasant her mood became. The nearby Qingyan Mountain peak, which was within arm's reach, seemed to be another step in his life, a new fantasy!

  As the goal drew near, Ji Changkong's excited mood surprisingly calmed down, the mountain wind whizzing past his ears, and in an instant he seemed to have entered a brand new world, with a strange feeling of wanting to pour out his emotions to the heavens and all living things.

  Crack!

  With one hand inserted into the last piece of green rock blocking the way at the top of the mountain, he borrowed strength and suddenly jumped up. Before Ji Yueqing could react, he had already flown to the top of Qingyan Mountain.

  Looking at the small figures at the foot of the mountain, looking at Ji Yueqing's shocked and bewildered expression not far away...

  The girl's gaze continued to extend outward, gradually falling on the Cloud Dream Marsh where ferocious beasts roamed. She seemed to see the rare flowers and strange grasses of the Poison Dragon Pool, the lingering toxic miasma, and she seemed to see those ferocious beasts quietly waiting for him, expecting him...

  Ahh!

  She raised her head to the sky, and a loud roar like the Dragon King's thunderous voice echoed through the Qingyan Mountains, growing fainter with distance.

  At this moment, his sharp edges were exposed!

  In the past, I was filled with sorrow and depression, but now I soar into the sky!

  At the foot of the mountain, Nie Yuan Shan, Shao Kang, Ji Yu Xing, Ji Yu Sheng, and Ji Huan Guang, all members of the Ji family, young and old. As soon as they heard this angry shout, it was as if they were seeing Ji Chang Kong for the first time, their gazes gathering on him from afar!

  ……

  "Sheng Bo, he will definitely be stronger than Huang Tian in the future!" Nie Yuanshan was silent for a long time before finally saying in a low voice, his face full of admiration.

  "Hah......hahaha......hahahahaha......"

  Overcome with emotion, Ji Yu Sheng's face radiated an extraordinary glow as he burst into uncontrollable laughter, his body shaking with merriment, tears of joy welling up in his eyes!
