70 Care to Walk in Circles with Me? (1/2)

904!

The moment Su Ming landed on the 904th step, all the hearts of the people gathered in the field jolted at the same time.

A complicated look settled on Jing Nan’s face. He looked at Mo Su’s name on the eagle statue silently. By his side, Mo Sang also kept quiet.

At a further corner, Ye Wang’s heart was pounding. He wanted to continue sitting, but his body had instinctively stood up as he stared intently at Mo Su’s name on the eagle statue. He did not spare his attention to anything else.

In fact, no one had paid attention to him when he stood up. At that moment, everyone’s gazes were on the eagle statues and Mo Su’s name.

Anxiety, restraint, and silence formed a strange sort of force that covered the entire field like a layer of pressure that turned the place into what could only be called the true quiet!

They were waiting for Su Ming to move one more step until he reached the 905th step…

Yet even after a long while, the number behind Mo Su did not change. However, all the people continued waiting. No one spoke, neither did anyone discuss among themselves. Even the sounds of their breathing had weakened…

After a while, the number behind Mo Su suddenly changed. The number turned from 904 to 905!

The moment the change happened, the entire field erupted in an explosion of sound that shook the surroundings.

”905! He tied with Ye Wang!”

”Mo Su! Mo Su! Mo Su!”

Ye Wang was pale. It was as if there was a great force that knocked into him, causing him to stagger backwards two steps. His eyes gradually became blank, and there was a wan smile on his lips.

At the same time, the moment Su Ming arrived at the 905th step, his face also turned into a similar shade of white as Ye Wang’s. He wanted to take another step forward, but he did not have the strength to do so.

He turned around and looked at the mist covered summit. Su Ming panted harshly, but his eyes were bright. He may not have arrived at the top of the mountain, but at that moment, there was no doubt that he stood at the top. Gradually, Su Ming lifted his head and looked at the sky, which seemed to be within reach, and raised his right hand slowly.

He could not touch it. Yet as he closed his eyes, he had the impression that he had closed the distance between himself and the sky.

”Among all those living on the land, who will be able to see the end of the horizon..?” Su Ming mumbled. He opened his eyes and no longer looked at the sky. Instead, he cast his gaze into the distance towards the horizon, the point that seemed like the end of the sky.

He saw the land in the distance through the mist. There was only an indistinct vast mass of ground beyond. He did not know what that place was. He did not even know whether there was another tribe there…

That place was so, so far away…

After a long while, the smile on Su Ming’s face became wider. He seemed to have forgotten his fatigue as he took in a deep breath of the refreshing air in the mountain.

‘I don’t know whether I can reach Awakening Realm… I don’t know whether I can fly in the sky with my own strength like a bird… but now, I’m standing here. I can fly here…’

There was wind blowing at the moment, lifting up Su Ming’s long hair and blowing away the sweat on his body. Su Ming brought out the plate and threw it down towards the foot of the mountain.

The plate quickly fell and turned into a gust of black mist, rushing towards Su Ming as if it was going to surround him and bring him away from the mountain!

The moment the black mist arrived, Su Ming jumped towards the vast land before him!

It was a crazy move. Su Ming’s body was entirely suspended in air like he was standing in midair. It was as if he was flying in the sky with his own power!

Flying may not seem hard, but in truth, it was a right only reserved for the Berserkers who had reached the Awakening Realm. Those who had not Awakened could not hope to do so!

Su Ming wanted to become stronger. He longed to Awaken, he yearned to fly in the sky, even if… this sort of flying was only for a short moment. Yet as long as he did it without any help, and did it entirely on his own, then it was fine!

The moment he jumped and his feet left the top of the mountain, Su Ming stood in midair. The wind bellowed as it came from an unknown direction and made his hair even messier, as if the heavens themselves were angered!

The moment he jumped, there was the sound of roaring waves in Su Ming’s head. Yet it was not chaotic but clear, as if time became much slower. Su Ming could clearly feel that he was flying. He saw the sky, the earth. He saw the incredibly tall Wind Stream Mountain. He saw the mythical creature from the Fire Berserker Tribe on the summit. The beast seemed to be looking at him…

Besides all these, Su Ming also saw the field on the land that was sealed outside the mountain. He saw all the people gathered on the field… When the black mist came forth and enveloped his body, it turned into a long black misted arc that sped out of the mountain at an extremely fast pace. When the space in the air twisted, it rushed out of the sealed Wind Stream Mountain!

When Mo Su’s name turned gray on the nine eagle statues on the field and the space in the air twisted, a gust of black mist whistled by and landed on the center of the field.

At that moment, all the gazes from the people in the field gathered towards the spot. Wu Sen had already stood up a long time ago and stared at the black mist that appeared. He watched as the black mist scattered away and revealed the faint outline of a person within it.

Chen Chong was also staring intently at the shape of the person as he gradually became clearer in the mist. He wanted to know just who Mo Su was!

Bi Su was doing the same thing. The killing intent in his eyes was incredibly thick. He did not even bother trying to hide it. He clenched his fists as he stared at the figure in the mist.

They were not the only ones doing so. At that moment, everyone in the field was doing the same thing. The hundreds of people from different tribes, who had been paying attention to the event for the past two days, were filled with respect as they all looked at the person who was slowly walking out from the mist.
