Chapter 1185
Seven days later.
South Peak of Mount Hua, the thousand-foot wall.
"Wow, this is Mount Hua!"
Along the way, one could always hear Xu Haoran's chattering and whistling voice.
This time, there was an internal and external martial arts conference.
The outside was a showcase event hosted by a few clans joining forces.
The purpose was to divert the attention of the ordinary people.
Some messy and "interesting" people had been hired on purpose.
While the demons and monsters were putting on a show outside for the general public to see.
Dozens of people were already standing at the bottom of the 1,000-foot wall on the southern peak of Mount Hua.
Xu Haoran raised his head slightly, and his mouth opened wide from time to time.
"Brother-in-law, are they going to have a match on that big rock up there later?"
The direction Xu Haoran's hand was pointing was a few hundred metres above sea level from where everyone was now standing.
That place wasn't a tourist attraction.
It had not been developed in any way.
Not to mention ordinary tourists, even professional climbers would not be able to climb up there.
The place is basically a cliff face.
Only occasionally some pine trees grow out of the rocky cracks of the cliffs.
At this time, an old man dressed in white with long flowing white hair suddenly landed behind the crowd.
No one knew how he had come to be here.
It was as if he had fallen from the sky like an immortal.
The whole person looked very ethereal.
The old man reached out and pointed to the top of the mountain peak and said with a smile.
"At the top of this mountain peak, there is a natural venue for the tournament."
"As is customary, all the participants in today's tournament will have to reach the top of the mountain peak within three minutes through their own efforts."
"Those who cannot climb up and those who overstay their time will all be counted as abstaining."
As he spoke, the very ethereal old man took out of his pocket a stopwatch that the gym teacher usually grabbed in his hands during gym class.
This old man who seemed to have stepped out of an ancient martial arts novel.
This peculiar image of a gym teacher's stopwatch being grasped inside his hand for measurement.
It made Xu Haoran couldn't help but laugh.
"I suddenly found this martial arts tournament quite interesting, why don't I join one as well?"
Li Hang said indifferently, "Anyone who can go up there can participate."
"Okay!"
The white-haired old man lifted the stopwatch up like a gym teacher.
Then he said to the crowd, "The first brave summit will now begin."
As he spoke, a large group of people in the surrounding area, one by one, performed their stunts and used their own methods to either climb or jump towards the top of the mountain peak.
Xu Haoran and Li Fei were the two who set off relatively late.
But the moment the two of them took their steps, the man with the stopwatch in his hand was on his feet.
The white-haired old man with a stopwatch in his hand couldn't help but see his eyes light up for a moment.
Xu Haoran and Li Fei did not use their lightning skills.
Instead, they took a step and climbed up directly on their hands and knees.
Although it looked like their movements were very rusty, it was obviously the first time they had climbed a mountain peak.
But every single movement they made appeared to be very fluid.
At the first glance of the two of them, they were still at the bottom of the mountain.
Within a few seconds, the two had climbed to a position more than ten metres above the ground.
Compared to those sons of the world who had been practising lightness since they were young.
Xu Haoran and Li Fei were a little slower than the two of them.
But the two of them used the least amount of physical energy when they went up the mountain.
After a minute or so, the strengths and weaknesses of the competitors in the competition were already clear!
Chapter 1186
It is clearly no longer possible for those worldly gentry who are indiscriminately trying to gain a good ranking by spending money and their own family influence.
Because they couldn't even climb up.
One by one, they stood at the bottom of the mountain with chagrin on their faces.
Those who were quite powerful, on the other hand, had already climbed to the top of the mountain peak.
Those who were relatively less powerful just kept struggling to climb upwards.
The white-haired old man walked over to Li Hang at this time.
Li Hang was about the same age as the ordinary contestants.
But the connotation that Li Hang presented made the white-haired old man focus on it already since the beginning.
The stronger the strength, the more different the feeling of seeing Li Hang would be.
On the surface, Li Hang was not much different from an ordinary person.
It was like those worldly sons who came over to indiscriminately play the game.
However, in the eyes of a true expert, one could sense a dark current surging within Li Hang.
"Young man, aren't you going up?"
Li Hang looked up and kept his eyes on Li Fei and Xu Haoran, the two of them were less than a few dozen metres above sea level from the top.
Li Hang said indifferently, "I'm waiting."
"Waiting for what?"
The white-haired old man's words had just fallen.
There was a young man who was originally climbing hard above Li Fei's head, who suddenly let go of his hand.
His body descended vertically.
And at this moment, Li Fei was directly below that man.
As the other man fell, he kicked Li Fei hard in the chest.
Li Fei let out a muffled grunt, his body lost its weight and his whole body immediately fell backwards.
The man who had fallen took the opportunity to reach out and climb a pine tree that had grown up.
A cruel smile appeared on his face as he looked at Li Fei who was sagging downwards.
The white-haired old man frowned as he was really about to make a move.
Suddenly he felt a gust of wind roll up around him.
At that moment, the white-haired old man was astonished and baffled to see Li Hang suddenly bouncing up to the ground!
Li Hang had jumped up vertically.
He did not use any external force.
With this jump, Li Hang had reached a height of about a hundred metres.
But at this moment, there was still a distance between him and Li Fei who had fallen.
Just when Li Hang was about to fall because of gravity.
His right foot unexpectedly stepped lightly in the middle of the air.
"Ta-da!"
A very peculiar air-breaking sound came from the middle of the air.
In the white haired old man's shocked gaze, Li Hang stepped on the air and jumped up high once again!
"Longitudinal Cloud Ladder!?"
The Longitudinal Cloud Ladder was a relatively basic lightning technique of the Wudang School.
This move was known to many disciples of the Wudang Sect.
It was also something that they had to learn when they were initiated.
No one, however, had ever been able to do it to the extent that Li Hang did.
Legend has it that only the supreme master who created the Longitudinal Cloud Ladder was able to walk through the air like the ground with very thick internal energy!
Under the searing gaze of the white-haired old man, Li Hang actually stepped into the air with two feet.
It was as if he was carrying two rabbits, dragging both Li Fei and Xu Haoran to the top of the mountain peak at the same time.
And the man who had caused Li Fei to fall just now rose to catch up with even greater speed.
However, he had just jumped up with the bounce of a pine tree and tried to climb a protruding rock.
Suddenly there was a dollar coin that fell from the top of the peak.
The coin hit the man's forehead with great precision.
Immediately, the man let out a scream and then his whole body fell from a height of several hundred metres!
The white haired old man's eyes were filled with different colours.
