Complete Martial Arts Attributes

The instant Wang Teng stepped on the stairs, the purple runes brightened. It was dazzling.

Invisible pressure bore down from the sky, landing on his head and shoulders in an attempt to push him down.

Even the onlookers below felt it. Their expressions changed. Some weaker ones almost kneeled on the ground.

“This is scary!”

“The pressure released by the white jade stairs after the activation of the runes is vastly different from before. When the nobles climbed it, we didn’t feel anything. However, we can feel the terrifying pressure now.”

!! “Wang Teng has to bear so much pressure after just stepping on the stairs. His talent must be high!”

…

Wang Teng didn’t care about the discussion. He focused his attention on climbing the stairs.

The atmosphere suddenly turned a little special and dangerous. There were various spiritual disturbances affecting one’s willpower.

Wang Teng was surprised.

When the Great Qian Noble Family Consultation Chamber sent the message, they reminded him that the white jade stairs were extremely difficult to ascend. They said that this was a test of the person’s talent and mentality. However, he didn’t expect it to be this challenging.

There were a few thousand steps in the staircase. It led all the way up, right to the foot of the palace.

Purple runes lit up on the white jade stairs. Every step he climbed, the purple runes would double and the pressure on him would increase correspondingly.

One could imagine how difficult it was.

At this moment, the people below raised their heads to look at him while the people in the palace looked down.

Everyone was paying close attention to the person climbing the stairs.

Within a few seconds, Wang Teng had covered a few hundred steps. The pressure on him was ten times stronger than before and the spiritual disturbance worsened. Anyone with a weaker mentality would have broken down at this point.

However, Wang Teng proceeded at a stable pace as if he were taking a stroll. He didn’t rest.

His expression was calm. He didn’t frown at all. The spiritual disturbance didn’t seem to affect him.

This was the truth. There were all kinds of murmurs and babbles in his mind. However, the spiritual constellations in his consciousness glowed brightly and filled his mind with scorching spiritual energy. The strange noises disappeared without a trace.

Wang Teng’s state astounded the powerful nobles above the stairs. They looked at him and started a discussion.

“This is interesting,” Duke Situ sat up straight in his seat and muttered to himself with a look of interest.

“No change in his expression and no effects on his actions. His consciousness is powerful!” The earl of the Wang family said, “The representative from my family in the Noble Family Consultation Chamber told me about this young man a few days ago. At first, I didn’t believe him, but now, it looks like he was speaking the truth. It was worth the trip here.”

“Hmph, it’s still too early to say.” Valteru from the Parkers family scoffed. “He only climbed a few hundred steps. This is just the beginning.”

Valteru was only at the heaven stage, but he belonged to the Parkers. Even the dukes were afraid of him. Thus, when he spoke, everyone’s expression turned strange.

They had heard that Wang Teng and the Parkers were on bad terms. It seemed to be the truth. The nobles started to sympathize with Wang Teng.

After offending the Parkers, he would probably have a hard time even if he inherited the baron’s title. He might die without knowing anything. Baron Nangong was an example.

“Hmph, why is the mighty Parkers family targeting a small lad? Don’t you find it embarrassing?” A middle-aged man from the Cavendish family joined the conversation.

This was a silver-haired man who was exceptionally handsome. If Wang Teng were here, he would definitely recognize him. He looked similar to Di Qi.

Everyone was shocked that the Cavendish Family spoke up for Wang Teng. Their gazes flickered. They turned and stared at the ground, waiting to watch a good show.

Every time they gathered, these two grand dukes would argue with each other. This was an ad-lib performance.

“Borla, why are you interfering in my affairs?” Valteru glanced at him and frowned.

“I just don’t like how you bully others with your power,” Borla snorted and said.

Silence.

Everyone felt speechless.

The Cavendish family was a dominating presence too. They were as famous as the Parkers for bullying others.

Just when everyone thought that Valteru would continue the argument, he ceased fire and kept quiet.

Borla smiled. He stopped provoking the other party.

The other six grand dukes looked at them strangely. For some reason, they felt that these two families’ reactions were strange.

Wang Teng didn’t know that his performance had ignited the nobles’ interest. He proceeded slowly and calmly, showing no impatience.

He climbed more and more steps. The runes on the white jade stairs increased and the pressure got stronger.

The people below were starting to retreat. They felt as if there was a huge mountain pressing down on their shoulders. This mountain was extremely heavy. It was about to crush them.

The closer they were to the white jade stairs, the stronger the pressure. Only some powerful martial warriors managed to withstand the stress. The majority of them had retreated a few hundred meters away.
