"Look! The Ghost is number one now! He really surpassed Evan Clarke and Victoria Parker, and he is still climbing towards the top"

"Holy shit, am I dreaming?! How could he surpass those prodigies?!"

"Two years ago, there was a mysterious girl, now we have him and just like her, he's also not from any of the big sects!"

Many people were shouting in surprise as Micheal had become the center of attention. Who would have thought someone would appear out of the blue and surpass the celebrity disciples?

"Where did this young freak come from? How could he be so strong?"

"Hmph! look at him, He must be using some kind of pill or potion, If he wasn't, it would be impossible to be so calm and relaxed!"

" it's still not over yet, Evan Clarke and Victoria Parker will catch up soon!"

The disciples of the sects gloomily stared at him while some of them tried comforting themselves by hoping that their breathless seniors, Evan Clarke and Victoria Parker, would move again and surpass him before he breaks the existing record by reaching the 70th step.

When Micheal stepped on the 67th step, he was still looking cool and calm.

"Is this freak going to break the record?"

Gaya was thinking to herself as he reached the 68th step and broke Celina's record.

"Oh my god!, he broke Miss Celina's record and only two steps away from the all-time record!"

"What a freak?!"

On top of the Stairway, Alex Fisher's and the other three's expressions changed as well. Especially Celina's, who had been looking at Micheal with a mix of anger and shocked expression on her face.

" How is he able to reach the 68th step under our pressure?" Adam Kane was surprised as his brows raised automatically.

"Interesting, he is only at Body refining level 1 still he managed to reach this far. I guess he has some interesting secrets"

Sadie's gesture was alluring and looked at him in a provocative manner. Her sweet gentle voice was enough to touch anyone's heart as her blue eyes stared at Micheal from top to bottom. The black robes he wore were nothing like anything she had seen and it perfectly complemented his charming features and lean body.

"We should increase the pressure"

"Why?"

Adam Kane calmly asked Alex as Sadie answered him

"Although I hate to do this to him, Alex is right, we can't let an outsider like him reach the 70th step. Remember what happened two years ago when an outsider like him created a record, it brought nothing but shame to our sects.by the look on his face, he would definitely surpass the 70th step if we don't do anything"

Since she put it like that, Adam could only agree with them and increase the pressure. The four of them were the strongest of the younger generation in the Bredia Kingdom. If they combined their strength to suppress a Body Refining stage cultivator, it would be impossible for any at the same level as Micheal.

The other three unleashed their soul pressure straight away and it was mainly focused on Micheal, still, the slight increase in the pressure rendered Evan Clarke and Victoria Parker immobile. They were stopped at the 62nd step and could not even move a muscle in their body while some of the youngsters in the lower stairs were even pushed back by the pressure.

[System has detected a sudden increase in pressure]

[Conversion will begin in 15...14….]

The System suddenly informed him as he had to stop moving.

Looking at him stop moving, Alex's lips curved, and put a cold smile on his face. In his heart, he snorted coldly, "Trying to reach the top under our soul pressure huh? Let me see how you take another step"

"I think he reached his limit"

Elder Sandra stated as the other three Elders nodded while Micheal was standing there without moving.

"Human, they increased the soul pressure and focusing it on you"

"Trying to stop me? too late bitches"

He snickered seeing the synergy devourer resumed to convert the pressure into experience points. Until now, he only wanted to reach the top because he wanted to earn as many badass points as he could but since these three intentionally increased the pressure to stop him, he couldn't wait to reach

the top and crush their arrogance.

He wouldn't be able to sleep if he surrendered to these three, he was the greatest assassin on earth and his pride and ego were above their arrogance.

"

Look! He stopped at the 68th step, such a shame I really thought he would break the record and create a new one"

"It's no shame, you idiot, with his level of cultivation, he had already created a new record and proved his prowess"

"He's moving again!"

Nobody couldn't remain calm anymore the moment they saw him take a step towards the 69th step, everyone's vision was on the Ghost was only a step away from breaking the record. He brushed his hair back again as it was fluttering in the wind as he smiled at the four of them on the top but this time his smile was not a warm one, rather it was an arrogant one.

"What is he doing? He is in the first place now, if he took another step, those three would feel offended?"

Sect Leader Claire said with a puzzled expression.

"that youngster possesses the aura of someone who stands above all else. He's like the fire where his opponents are like the oil, the more the enemies, the more he blazes through them"

Gaya's heart and mind were filled with doubt and shock,

Looking at him standing on the 69th step with his low-level cultivation, she couldn't help but start to admire him. Although he was young, he had proved himself a person who is both resourceful and powerful. Every time she thought he couldn't do something, he would prove her wrong and surprise her. Even if he had the special body type, this shouldn't have been possible.

"There is more to him than what meets the eye"

oooohhhhh

On top of the Stairway, the combined pressure from the three big geniuses had doubled and caused strong winds to appear.

"AH!"

Many youngsters clinging on their positions were now thrown off from the stairway.

"Give me more!"

The crowd felt goosebumps when the words escaped his mouth as the three of them were startled. More pressure meant more experience points and after he said these words, the system started to award him with more badass points.

"HE DID IT!"

Finally, he took the 70th step as the crowd went crazy and most of them stood from their seats in shock.

Behind him, Evan Clarke and Victoria Parker looked up at Micheal who was walking forward towards the top. Each step he took, created a new record while the crowds in the square held their breath, and stopped uttering any words as they stared at him dumbstruck.

Under the gazes of over three geniuses and Celina, he kept moving and reached the 90th.

"What the?!"

"90th step, OH MY GOD!"

Everyone gasped for air in shock and looked at the Ghost as if they were looking at a real ghost.

"Is he even human?"

"This is insane!"

Gaya became speechless and watched him take another step and reach the 91st step.

The four of them on the top felt like they were being struck by lightning.

The three of them were Core Formation stage cultivators and on top of that, Celina was also releasing her soul pressure on him, yet, a young Body Refining stage cultivator was actually able to resist the pressure unleashed by them, they simply couldn't believe it.

Under their shocked gazes, he moved again and reached the 95th step.

"Focus every bit of pressure solely on him, I don't believe he could withstand that"

Alex said with a cold tone as the three of them immediately focused all the pressure created by them on him.

The four geniuses increased the pressure once again, hoping to throw Micheal out of the stairs.

If he continued to step up, he would definitely reach the top ad stand beside them. Just by doing that, he would shatter their reputation and make them look weak compared to him. He had already brought shame to them by reaching the 96th step which was something impossible and never had done before.

Micheal on the other hand did not give a shit about their reputation and wanted to reach the top and earn more and more badass points and experience. Humiliating them and the girl who tried to kill him was just icing on the cake.

Step by step, he reached the 96th step, 97th, then the 98th, and finally the 99th step. If he took another step forward, he would be standing side by side with the three big geniuses and a small genius.

"Impossible!"
