Gao Wu: Honey, don't cry, I'm truly invincible!

"Only thirty-nine steps away will the Divine Child reach the seven hundredth step and receive the divine blessing!"

"If he climbs the seven hundred steps, he will be the first among us to reach that height!"

"I wish I could be as invincible as him, I'm so envious..."

"The only worrying thing is that the Divine Child's progress has slowed down considerably, giving the impression that he might fail at any moment. Will he fall before reaching the 700th step?"

"Pah, pah, pah! What a jinx! How could someone like the Divine Child not be able to reach the 700th step? The main problem is that the Source Beasts he's facing are too terrifying—sixth-tier Source Beasts! There are at least hundreds of thousands of them ganging up on him. Even a god couldn't get through quickly!"

"Uh, that makes sense..."

Beneath the ancient starry road, martial artists discussed amongst themselves.

The thought of witnessing a prodigy reach the pinnacle, and the possibility that what was happening before their eyes might even be recorded in history, filled everyone with excitement.

"Compared to the Divine Child, everyone else is really far inferior!"

Some people shook their heads and sighed.

Those who had been focusing almost exclusively on the Divine Child also subconsciously glanced at the others on the Ancient Starry Road upon hearing this.

"Although they are geniuses, there are differences even among geniuses. They... wait, who are those?"

They had initially looked down on the others, but when they suddenly saw a small red dot on the 2D live feed on the screen, it was shooting upwards at lightning speed, and they were all momentarily stunned.

"Holy crap, he's already climbed over 300 steps! And the speed at which he's ascending is like a rocket! Is this for real? Or is there something wrong with the screen display?"

The exclamations of these people made the rest of the group turn to look, and then they were all dumbfounded.

"Holy crap, this guy climbed nineteen steps in the blink of an eye! Am I seeing things?"

"My God, even the Divine Child didn't climb the stairs this fast at this stage! Who is this guy? What's his background?"

"At this speed, doesn't that mean he can smash every single source beast he faces with a single punch every time he climbs a step? How is that possible?"

"Could this guy be the second genius to reach the 700th step? If he can match the achievements of the Papal States' Divine Child... wow, what kind of monster is this? Why have I never heard of him before?"

In an instant, everyone noticed the rapidly rising red dot, and everyone was shocked and discussed it endlessly.

Among the crowd, only Ye Chen and his group knew who the little red dot belonged to, and they were secretly looking forward to it.

"Everyone says that the Holy Son of the Papal States is a genius who has amazed an era, but I've had contact with him and know his level. Although he's very powerful, I'm far inferior to him, but compared to you, Qin Su, I'm far inferior..."

Ye Chen clenched his fist secretly, thinking to himself with anticipation:

"He's only a dozen years older than you and has cultivated for many more years. If you were the same age as him, he would be far inferior to you..."

"So, Qin Su, let them see the strength of the prodigies of my Xia Kingdom! Let them cheer for you! Let them know that in front of the prodigies of Xia Kingdom, the so-called divine sons of the Papacy are nothing but a fart..."

..............

.........

At this moment, Qin Su was unaware of the discussions among the crowd outside. He had already reached the 393rd floor, facing hundreds of thousands of third-tier source beasts.

"die!"

Qin Su's eyes were icy cold as he unleashed a hundred sixth-order lightning spikes.

Countless source beasts fell to the ground, their blood splattering wildly.

Hundreds of thousands of third-tier source beasts—such a terrifying number would certainly be quite a challenge for an ordinary Martial King to handle.

But this was not difficult for Qin Su.

After all, he was a fifth-tier mentalist, possessing the ability to control sixth-tier mental weapons, and he was least afraid of being ganged up on.

Therefore, even if the number of these source beasts were several times greater, it would be of no consequence to him.

shhhhh--

The sixth-tier lightning spikes darted wildly through the horde of source beasts, and in less than half a breath, more than half of the hundreds of thousands of third-tier source beasts were already dead.

After a full breath, all the third-tier source beasts collapsed and died. The scene before Qin Su's eyes slowly shattered, returning him to the ancient starry road.

He stepped onto another step.

"Wow, he made it over nearly four hundred steps so quickly!"

"Wow, this guy is amazing!"

"Aside from the Divine Child, he's currently the most powerful one!"

"My God, could he really possess strength comparable to the Divine Child?"

Countless martial artists exclaimed in surprise.

So much so that after the divine child finally managed to get through a step, not many people paid attention to the situation for a while.

Everyone was staring at Qin Su, their eyes filled with disbelief.

Under their watchful eyes, Qin Su quickly climbed to the four hundredth step.

"Congratulations on reaching the 400th step! You have obtained 100,000 Origin Stones, the Slanting Wind Spear Technique, the Ghostly Illusion Blade, and the Heavenly Gang Twin Swords. You have also received a special reward—Psychic Infusion!"

hum-

A strange sound came from the void, and Qin Su felt an endless stream of spiritual energy surging into his brain.

In that instant, his entire feeling changed.

This initiation lasted for more than ten minutes before it finally stopped. Qin Su opened his eyes, and a flash of lightning appeared in them, as if thunder had exploded.

"My mental power, both in quality and quantity, has more than doubled compared to before!" He could feel that he had now reached the level of a sixth-level mental master!

"Is this the Ancient Starry Road? No wonder everyone says it's the path to godhood!"

Excitement flashed in Qin Su's eyes.

The rewards from this ancient starry road are truly astonishing, absolutely heaven-defying!

After the initial excitement subsided, Qin Su regained some composure. She then glanced at the four items floating in front of her, a strange glint in her eyes.

marksmanship?

arms?

It seems most of them are useless, at least not for him.

However, these items are of extremely high quality.

Qin Su pondered for a moment and then carefully examined these items.

"I definitely won't need marksmanship; I don't even use guns. But it's a planetary-level Tier 2 item. If I sell it to the system, I can earn a lot of comeback points..."

"Furthermore, I can utilize my talent—a hundredfold return on a single effort—to obtain one hundred portions, which I can then sell at a low price to those martial artists who wield guns, earning another sum of source crystals..."

"The Heavenly Twin Swords also have planetary-level quality, but I don't need them. I'll deal with them the same way as the Slanting Wind Spear Technique. But this Ghostly Illusion Blade... why does it feel like a telekinetic weapon?"
