Chapter 83: Feng Yun's Ascend

Feng Yun cracked his knuckles and stepped forward, his gaze locking onto the 17th step. 

The crowd, still buzzing with excitement over Feng Mei's achievement, failed to notice Feng Yun who had already started to climb towards the 17th step. 

His eyes held no urgency or sense of competition—just a quiet confidence that came from having already gauged the pillar's limits. 

He knew exactly what to expect and was certain he wouldn't falter before reaching the 17th step.

The pressure increased slightly as he moved higher, but for Feng Yun, it was hardly an obstacle. 

The force that had almost crushed Feng Mei doesn't seem to exist for Feng Yun, offering only a slight resistance that he easily brushed aside. 

The pressure intensified much higher than the 16th step and his muscles tensed slightly, but he pushed forward without hesitation.
