"Crack!"
Jiang Chengkun heard the sound of his bones breaking.
Only two meters of the 800-meter distance remained!
He pushed through the intense pain and slowly ascended.
Blood dripped from his wound.
A faint scent of blood permeated the air.
"Keep going! You'll transform once you pass this!"
Jiang Chengkun's eyes turned red at this moment.
He took a few more arduous steps.
Finally, he crossed the 800-meter mark!
"Thud!"
Jiang Chengkun collapsed to the ground, completely exhausted.
Yan Lin's eyes narrowed, and he quickly caught Jiang Chengkun and laid him down.
Jiang Chengkun's achievement was the best by far.
He had a significant lead over second place.
Jiang Chengkun opened his eyes with a smile of relief.
"Well done."
Even Yan Lin, who was usually serious, gave Jiang Chengkun rare praise.
All the disciples' results were almost finalized, except for one who was still missing!
Lin Chen stood at the base of the thousand-meter cliff, looking up at the sky.
"Is it my turn?"
He spoke calmly, then suddenly put all his strength into pushing off the ground and launched himself into the air!
"Boom!"
There was a deep crater where he had stood.
The force of his kick was terrifying!
The energy that erupted scared all the outer disciples.
What level of strength was needed to make such a move?
Incredible!
Lin Chen effortlessly soared over 100 meters, 200 meters, and 300 meters!
"He...he didn't summon his spirit beast!"
Someone shouted in surprise.
Immediately, all the outer disciples stared at him in shock.
He...really didn't summon his spirit beast!
Was he trying to climb this thousand-meter cliff with just his strength and physical fitness?
Some disciples were shocked.
He had already crossed 500 meters in the blink of an eye?
Jiang Chengkun watched Lin Chen's back with clenched fists.
Was this the genius who had rung the bell five times?
Sure enough, he was hard to catch up to!
However, I won't lose heart.
One day, I will defeat him!
With this leap, Lin Chen ascended straight to 600 meters.
When his momentum was about to run out, he grabbed a rock and quickly climbed up!
It wasn't crawling; it was flying!
Walking like flying!
It seemed that the oppressive force of the thousand-meter cliff had no effect on him.
The next scene shocked all the outer disciples.
Lin Chen was as if walking on flat ground, his speed never slowing, and he climbed to 700 meters in one breath!
Still... still climbing!
750 meters!
800 meters!
Broken!
He had broken Jiang Chengkun's previous record!
And...
He hadn't stopped yet!
The corners of Yan Lin's mouth twitched, and he felt a little numb.
He had examined so many outer disciples and met many talented people, but none could reach Lin Chen's level!
850 meters!
900 meters!
Lin Chen ascended to 900 meters in one breath and suddenly stopped.
All the outer disciples felt their hearts drop.
Was this guy finally exhausted?
Nine hundred meters!
It was a full hundred meters higher than Jiang Chengkun's previous record!
Absolutely monstrous!
"Nine hundred meters, second highest among the outer disciples. I remember...Zhao Peng had this result before!"
Yan Lin's eyes were solemn.
Lin Chen, why did he stop at this height?
Had he really done his best?
It shouldn't be.
Judging from the way he had been strolling earlier, 900 meters wouldn't exhaust him at all.
"Zhao Peng?"
At a height of 900 meters, Lin Chen looked at a rock.
The word "Zhao Peng" was carved into the rock!
Among those who had climbed the thousand-meter cliff, he ranked first in history, an incomparable honor.
At that time, Zhao Peng was so excited that he had carved his name on the boulder!
As a genius, one wanted to leave their name for eternity!
Since then, people had continued to challenge the thousand-meter cliff.
When they struggled to climb and tried their best, there would always be a name standing high above their heads.
No matter how hard they tried, they were destined to fail to reach that name!
This was the gap!
This was glory!
This was...talent!
Lin Chen could imagine Zhao Peng's arrogant expression as he carved his name.
"Leaving a name for eternity..."
Lin Chen sneered, raised his hand and wiped it away, "Are you worthy?"
The word Zhao Peng was instantly erased from the boulder by Lin Chen.
In that instant, it all became empty!
When Yan Lin below saw this scene, the corner of his mouth couldn't help but twitch.
This kid really held a grudge!
Zhao Peng...not only was his record broken, but even his past achievements wouldn't be spared.
After erasing the word "Zhao Peng", Lin Chen surged forward and ascended another hundred meters.
When he effortlessly reached the top of the thousand-meter cliff, less than twenty breaths had passed since the beginning!
Not only was he the highest, but he was also the fastest.
Lin Chen stood at the top, overlooking everything, feeling a sense of heroism.
Sure enough, only by being strong enough could one stand above everyone else!
"Record breaking, record breaking!"
"Zhao Peng had just broken the record, and now it's been broken again by Lin Chen!"
"A kilometer...he directly climbed the thousand-meter cliff!"
"There's never been anyone like this before, and I'm afraid there won't be anyone like this in the future..."
Below, many outer disciples were amazed.
It was precisely because they had experienced it themselves that they knew how difficult it was!
With every hundred meters passed, the force of gravity increased exponentially.
Even someone as strong as Jiang Chengkun had been defeated by the force at the 800-meter mark.
Most importantly, Lin Chen didn't rely on a spirit beast at all!
He had passed this level purely through his own physical strength.
"Too...too strong!"
If Jiang Chengkun had previously wanted to compete with Lin Chen, after seeing this, he was completely convinced.
A true genius, indeed a true genius!
High and above!
He couldn't even see his back.
"Whoosh!"
Lin Chen jumped down from the thousand-meter cliff and landed with a boom.
The ground beneath him cracked, and the cracks spread in all directions.
"Now, we move on to the second level."
Yan Lin took a deep breath and smiled bitterly.
He also knew that there was no need to continue the sect competition, but rules were rules!
There were two levels to the sect competition.
The first level was the thousand-meter cliff, and the top eight were selected.
The second level was for the top eight to compete in pairs until the end to determine the winner.
The final score was based on the student's performance in the two tests!
In the square, the lots were drawn.
"I withdraw..."
When a disciple found out that his opponent was Lin Chen, he chose to withdraw without hesitation.
Damn!
I saw with my own eyes that day that he defeated Zhao Peng of the inner sect!
Even the inner disciples were no match for him, so why should I go up there to be humiliated?
