Chapter 22: Touching the pillar
Jiang Hao really felt the pain of the spikes piercing his foot, and since it was burning hot, it was even more unbearable. He looked at his right foot, which he had just placed on the 60-meter mark.
No matter how gruesome his feet looked, he knew he could still use them. He was amazed by the reality of an illusion; after all, this was his first time inside an illusion.
He sighed and looked at the pillar again. The sudden intense pain of spikes piercing his foot had broken his concentration from the pillar, but it wouldn't stop him.
He moved again, and this time, he didn't even frown when his left foot was pierced since he was prepared.
The pain in his head also intensified, and the air he was breathing was flaming-hot right now. His whole lungs felt like they were on fire, but he still kept moving.
With every step he took, the pain increased. The spikes became thicker and hotter, and the flames from the pathway increased in height, covering his full legs by now. But he didn't flinch and kept moving.
How could mere pain make him bow? It wasn't able to do it before, and it wouldn't be able to now or in the future.
The disciples outside were all in shock right now because they thought he would back off after crossing 60 meters. But instead of stopping, he kept moving and had already reached the 80-meter mark.
Even Ming Yue had only reached 70 meters before backing off. She knew how painful it became at that point. Even though she knew that everything was illusory, she still wasn't able to move forward.
But Jiang Hao had already reached 80 meters and was still moving at the same pace as he was from the start.
She sighed internally. What strong willpower junior brother Jiang has. Even if I temper my will later, I might not be able to reach his current state.
