"Senior Brother Pang, why do I feel more tired the farther I go, almost unable to move?" Ouyang Lie gasped and asked Pang Bo after taking a few steps.
"It's normal. We're at the Heaven-Ascending Ladder, where the higher your cultivation, the stronger the pressure you feel, and the greater your talent, the more intense the pressure. Perform well, the elders are watching you all. The farther you go, the more attention you'll receive from the elders." Pang Bo explained.
They had just climbed a thousand steps, and Ouyang Lie was already gasping for breath. He glanced at Lu Yu beside him and asked puzzledly, "Why aren't you affected at all?"
Seeing the two beside him flush in their faces, stepping hard upwards, Lu Yu also wondered and asked, "Yeah! Why am I not feeling anything? It feels like ordinary stairs, just slightly heavier."
"Wait a minute." Ouyang Lie asked strangely, "Can't you feel the terrifying pressure from above?"
