Chapter 6156: Big Brother, Don’t Be Afraid

Seeing that they couldn’t reach the seventh step, Long Chengyu and the others tried using their means to remotely drag Chu Feng down the stairs, only to find that their powers were unable to reach him.

“What’s going on?” Long Chengyu asked Little Fishy with gritted teeth.

“This place resembles our trial ground. Each step contains a power that we will have to overcome to advance, and the higher the step, the more potent the power,” Little Fishy said as she walked toward the stairs in the middle.

She understood the purpose of the stairs now.

This was also some kind of trial. None of them was strong enough to fly straight to the top, but they might still stand a chance if they climb up a step at a time.

“This...”

The crowd suddenly felt a surge of respect for Chu Feng and Little Fishy.

Sympathizing the suffering of others was easy, but empathy required going through the same experience themselves. Only now when they were subjected to the same trial did they realize how difficult it was.

No wonder Little Fishy gave up.

None of the Ouyang Heavenly Clan’s juniors dared to move, but Long Chengyu and Long Muxi followed Little Fishy up the center staircase.

Ouyang Kuangfei gritted his teeth and tagged along, but his limit started showing on the fourth step, with each footstep forward being an ordeal for him. In the end, he was squashed to the ground, unable to advance any further.

Long Chengyu and Long Muxi managed to advance further through sheer conviction, but even so, they only managed to climb a bit higher.

“Damn it! How can I be so useless?!”

Long Chengyu angrily smashed his fist into the stairs.

His brother, Chu Feng, lying at the top of the stairs, on the verge of death, yet he didn’t have the strength to climb up to help him.

Long Muxi didn’t say a word, but she slowly crawled upward with eyes filled with indignance and self-reproach.

Ouyang Kuangfei clenched his jaws, but in the end, he was forced to turn around and descend the stairs. He was already reduced to a feebled state by the time he reached the first step. It was only with the support of the other Ouyang Heavenly Clan’s juniors that he could remain on his feet.

“No wonder that miss gave up. This is a truly frightening trial. How did Chu Feng reach the seventh step?” Ouyang Kuangfei looked at Chu Feng on the seventh step with eyes filled with respect.

Only Little Fishy knew the difficulty of the trial had been greatly lowered. The force impeding them was not even a tenth of what they had experienced earlier. Thanks to that, she was able to swiftly reach the sixth step with stable footsteps.

Long Chengyu and Long Muxi, knowing they had no hope of reaching the top, descended the stairs too, entrusting their hopes to Little Fishy.

Little Fishy sweated profusely, but it was still at a tolerable level. While she was relieved the difficulty of the trial had been greatly lowered, she also knew that there would be a steep hike in the difficulty level on the seventh step.

As much as she was desperate to save Chu Feng, she didn’t lose her nerves.

She adjusted her breathing before making her way to the seventh step.

“Big brother, I’m coming to rescue you.”

Tzzzzz!

Lightning immediately surfaced from the ground and wrapped around her legs, tearing through her skin, muscles, bones, and veins. The excruciating pain pierced into her soul.

She had to grit her teeth and clench her jaws to bear with the pain.

Even so, she didn’t wait for long before taking the next step forward.

Her body was quickly enveloped by the lightning. The higher she ascended, the stronger the lightning became. It eventually reached a point where the path ahead was completely covered in lightning as if warning her of the ordeal ahead.

Little Fishy’s eyes remained unwavering even as her flesh tore open. Her body trembled, but she continued advancing with stable footsteps.

Chu Feng crawled to the corner of the platform, wanting to dissuade Little Fishy from coming any closer, but he didn’t have the strength to utter a word. He looked unharmed on the surface, but his soul was tattered and he could die at any moment.

Eggy also saw Little Fishy advancing through a field of lightning through Chu Feng’s eyes.

The lightning wielded devastating might that easily sparked fear in anyone, but Little Fishy wasn’t deterred. Her face was wrecked by the lightning, but her eyes remained firm, reflecting her unshakable determination.

Even Eggy was moved, knowing Little Fishy was putting her life on the line here.

“Yu’er...”

Little Fishy finally reached the top of the seventh step. She had already expended all her strength by then, but she staggered over to Chu Feng’s side and embraced him.

“Big brother.”

Tears streamed down her cheeks now that she was looking at Chu Feng up close. She could sense just how feeble he was, and it felt like he might leave her for good at this rate. She had never seen him in such a terrible condition before.

He could only stare blankly at her, unable to move or make a noise.

All of a sudden, she laughed. She gently stroked Chu Feng’s cheek with her bloodied hand, saying, “Don’t worry, big brother. I’ll protect you.”

With a flick of her wrist, she took out a talisman paper and crushed it. The talisman paper released a surge of concealment aura that hid the two of them from others.

Little Fishy placed her fingers on Chu Feng’s eyes and closed them.

Chu Feng didn’t even have the strength to open his eyes, so he couldn’t see anything.

His mouth was pried open, and he was fed with something hot and smooth. It flowed down his throat before seeping into his heart.

A burst of gentle energy suddenly surged through his body, healing his tattered soul. His intelligence was also greatly boosted, though this increment was temporary.

Chu Feng opened his eyes and saw Little Fishy kneeling beside him with a smile.

“You should be able to make a breakthrough now, big brother. I’ll wait for you outside,” Little Fishy said as she stood up and left.

Chu Feng quickly sat up, closed his eyes, and began cultivating. His gut feeling told him that he could trigger and overcome the divine lightning tribulation in his current state.

As soon as Little Fishy emerged from the concealment aura, her complexion suddenly turned even more terrible than before. She popped a pill into her mouth and sat down to meditate.

“Yu’er, how’s Chu Feng?” Long Chengyu asked via voice transmission.

Little Fishy didn’t reply. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

“What’s wrong, miss? Are you all right? Come down here. I have some recovery pills and treasures that might be of use to you.”

Ouyang Kuangfei was worried about Little Fishy given how terrible she looked. He even took out a bunch of invaluable recovery items.

“Aren’t you warm-hearted, Ouyang Kuangfei? You sure are willing to spend on outsiders!”

Thousands of figures suddenly appeared. The one leading the group was the three-meter-tall Ouyang Lingyu.
