"Yes." Ye Feng nodded appreciatively.
Well!
Shui Bing'er was mixed with joy and anger, staring at Ye Feng.
"Yeah, the butt is pretty nice too."
Ye Feng's eyes were unscrupulous, sweeping over Shui Bing'er's body wantonly.
Shui Bing'er's face flushed red, her little silver teeth gently bit her red lips. Hands on her hips, she stomped her foot because of Ye Feng's words.
"After a year of traveling through the Sea God's Light, you've become thinner. And you look better too." Ye Feng praised.
"Can't you talk like a normal person?" Shui Bing'er's face flushed deeper.
If it were anyone else, Shui Bing'er would have punched him. However, Ye Feng was so shameless that he publicly declared her as his future wife.
Now, even Shui Bing'er's grandparents did not object to Ye Feng's behavior, so naturally, Shui Bing'er had no objections in her heart.
However, she was still a girl. How could she endure such teasing from Ye Feng?
"Alright. There are still three steps left. Do you need my help?" Ye Feng asked.
"No need. I believe I can do it." Shui Bing'er replied firmly.
As a time traveler, Ye Feng knew that the last three steps were like a heavenly ladder for Shui Bing'er. Every step required tremendous effort.
"Okay." Ye Feng nodded.
However, Shui Bing'er was different from Tang San in the original storyline. Her time limit for the Spirit Inheritance Test was not one year or ten years—but a lifetime.
Even if she couldn't climb to the 333rd step now, it didn't mean she wouldn't be able to in the future.
"Then I'll go up first."
"Okay."
After greeting Shui Bing'er, Ye Feng walked toward the higher steps.
Go up?
Shui Bing'er was stunned.
This was the staircase covered by the Sea God's Light. The Sea God's Light contained terrifying pressure. Yet Ye Feng said he wanted to climb more than 300 steps?
Shui Bing'er finally realized what he meant, and she looked at Ye Feng with dazed eyes.
Every step Ye Feng took was effortless. He steadily ascended, step by step, climbing higher and higher.
"This..."
Shui Bing'er was frozen in place, staring at Ye Feng as he ascended as though walking on flat ground. After ten full seconds, she finally snapped out of her daze—and had no choice but to admire Ye Feng's extraordinary talent.
Eight hundred and ninety-seven.
Eight hundred and ninety-eight.
Eight hundred and ninety-nine.
Ye Feng continued ascending step by step. When he reached the 900th step, he felt a powerful wave of pressure descend upon him.
The oppressive feeling surged from all directions, seeping into every pore. It was like waves or heavy boulders pressing against his body, preventing him from moving forward.
Nine hundred and one.
Ye Feng pressed onward, looked up, and continued climbing.
This scene was simultaneously reflected within the Sea God Temple atop Sea God Mountain.
"High Priest, nine hundred steps."
"He previously practiced tidal body refinement. His physical strength is far beyond that of ordinary Spirit Masters. Climbing nine hundred steps does not surprise me. What I'm curious about is whether he can truly conquer the Sea God's Light."
"Conquer the Sea God's Light and climb all 1,001 steps?"
"That was the goal he set."
"How is that possible? After the 990th step, each of the next eleven steps will feel like an abyss. The pressure on each step doubles."
Bo Sanxi was conversing with the assistant beside her.
She contemplated for a moment, then arrived at the top of the staircase, overlooking Ye Feng who continued his ascent below.
Nine hundred and ninety.
Nine hundred and ninety-one.
Nine hundred and ninety-two...
Each of Ye Feng's steps forward became more laborious. The Sea God's Light covering his body felt like solid stone, restricting his movement.
From the 990th step onward, Ye Feng sensed that the density of the Sea God's Light had doubled. The 991st step was twice as oppressive as the 990th. The 992nd was twice as oppressive as the 991st.
If one were to describe how intense the pressure on the 990th step was—placing a piece of wood there would reduce it to dust in an instant.
Nine hundred and ninety-five.
Nine hundred and ninety-six.
Nine hundred and ninety-seven.
Ye Feng clenched his fists and forced himself to advance.
Bang—
Suddenly, a crisp sound echoed. Ye Feng's clothes shattered.
The moment his clothes were torn from his body, they were instantly crushed into powder by the terrifying pressure.
Hmm?
Bo Sanxi's expression subtly changed. Before her eyes was a bare male body.
Bo Saixi had been waiting all these years for Tang Chen's return. Though she had lived for many years, this was the first time she had seen the body of the opposite sex laid bare before her eyes.
"Ah!"
Bo Sanxi's assistant screamed, her face flushing crimson. She turned around shyly, not daring to look at Ye Feng's body—though she secretly peeked at Bo Sanxi from the corner of her eye.
Although a trace of embarrassment flickered in Bo Sanxi's gaze, her attention remained fixed on Ye Feng.
In her sight, Ye Feng continued climbing upward.
Ye Feng lifted his foot. Though such a simple action in daily life, it was now extremely difficult. It took him half an hour just to raise his foot level with the next step.
An hour and a half later, Ye Feng finally stepped onto the next step.
"Nine hundred and ninety-eight!"
Ye Feng's expression remained calm, though he was panting heavily. The sweat on his body had already been suppressed by the Sea God's Light and couldn't flow.
Not only was his body unable to sweat, but even his skin had been rubbed red by the intense divine light.
"Only three steps left until the 1,001st step."
Ye Feng silently encouraged himself, cheering himself on again and again.
He rested for a full hour, adjusting his breathing, before setting out again. He began lifting his right foot slowly.
One millimeter.
Two millimeters.
Three millimeters...
The higher his foot rose from the ground, the stronger the resistance. It took more than ten minutes just to lift it by a single millimeter.
Whoosh—
Suddenly, a change occurred.
The Sea God's Light transformed into a sharp blade, slicing Ye Feng's skin and leaving a scarlet bloodline.
Why call it a bloodline?
Because under the pressure of the Sea God's Light, not even blood could flow. The bloodline was sealed beneath the skin—trapped.
"Ye Feng, give up."
Bo Sanxi looked at the now bald Ye Feng and advised with pity:
"I climbed only 936 steps back then. The last six steps were like hell for me. Though you've undergone tidal body refinement, your physique still can't compare to mine back then. Now, you want to challenge the 1,001st step?"
"Moreover, the Sea God's Light represents the power of the Sea God. He will not tolerate anyone offending his domain. The horror of the 1,001st step goes beyond words. It's impossible to conquer the Sea God's Light."
