Martial Peak

At this last juncture, Yang Kai braced himself and managed to remain in place.

*Hong…*

The eighty-first ring came as scheduled and the subsequent violent impact almost tore him into pieces. The corresponding pain reached the depths of his Soul, making him cry like a wounded beast. Blood gushed from his seven orifices, turning his entire face into an appalling sight.

Fierce, wild energy ran amok through his body as sounds of bones cracking continuously rang out.

Yang Kai felt like he was about to die, and the aura of death made his entire body grow cold while his limbs went numb.

He loudly shouted as he pushed his Source Qi madly, desperate to endure.

A single breath felt like hundreds of thousands of years to Yang Kai, but when the aftermath of the shock disappeared, Yang Kai’s eyes bloomed with a brilliant gleam.

He had done it! After a year and a half, he finally withstood eighty-one tolls from the Mountains and Rivers Bell without withdrawing. He might have looked a little miserable, but he still managed to endure.

If Qi Hai’s statement was true, then all his hard work and tenacity would be recognized by the Mountains and Rivers Bell’s Artifact Spirit and he would become the new owner of the Mountains and Rivers Bell.

Thinking so, Yang Kai raised his head and stared at the Mountains and Rivers Bell with high expectations.

But what entered his sight dumbfounded him.

Because the surface of the Mountains and Rivers Bell lit up again, turning Yang Kai’s face pale with shock.

He had witnessed this situation countless times over this year and a half. Every time the surface of the Mountains and Rivers Bell shined, it meant that it was about to toll.

[Again!?]

Yang Kai was suddenly struck with a sense of despair and powerlessness. With his current strength, it took everything he had and more to reach the eighty-first ring; that was already the limit of his limits. If he took another, he would be unable to hold on and might very well lose his life.

The very first thought that crossed his mind was to pull back and save his life first.

Whether the method mentioned by Qi Hai was invalid or it was recorded wrongly in the ancient books, Yang Kai had already tried his best. He had no regrets even if he failed.

Then again, a sliver of unwillingness rose from his heart.

He had already worked so hard, and if he gave up now, wouldn’t all his previous efforts have been for nought?
