Reborn as a Mountain: I Defy the Heavens with a Smile-Chapter 98 : Ji Feng Breaking The Record!

"Ugh!" Xue Feng let out a painful grunt and backed away with some fear.

Just now, when he crossed the three hundred meter distance, he was hit with a terrifying wave of mystic Qi; this feeling was no different than being hit by a large boulder.

No matter how hard he tried, he failed to endure it.

Chang Bai and Qin Lian too were having such difficulty, but they fared better than him and managed to hold on.

As for the crown prince Ji Feng and Ye Chen, they both endured the mystic Qi wave with a calm look and even started to swim forward, leaving the three others stunned.

'These two are monsters!' Qin Lian couldn't help but shake his head before following them.

Chang Bai also followed after him, and as for Xue Feng, no matter how unwilling he was, he had to stop there.

Noticing that one had stopped, the disciple behind became noisy, wondering if the pressure was too high after three hundred meters.

There had not been many who had gone further, so there was less information, sometimes even fake, so the disciples could only speculate.

"Look, Chang Bai stopped at three hundred and twenty meters."

"Yeah, looks like he can't resist anymore."

"Hmm? Is that Qin Lian who is slowing down?"

"Yes, it's him, and he only went ten meters further than Chang Bai!"

The disciples couldn't help but become stunned as they saw Qin Lian coming to a stop at three hundred and thirty meters.

They had expected him to go further than Ye Chen, especially since he was so valued in the Sword Pavilion Sect.

"Qin Lian's talent must be high, but it's a pity that Mystic Pond doesn't care about the spiritual root."

"Yeah, it's really unfair for us disciples! Look at that Ye Chen, Chang Bai, and Xue Feng; they had all gone ahead, and it must be because of some shitty luck."

"Of course, it's because of luck; if not, they don't have the ability to go that far."

The disciples conversed with dissatisfied looks.

Meanwhile, Ye Chen and Ji Feng continued moving forward, attracting the attention of many.

"These two must have trained their physical bodies to the limit." Qin Lian couldn't help but sigh with regret.

He had stopped because his body couldn't endure the pressure anymore; as for resisting the mystic Qi, it was not a problem for him.

Chang Bai was also in the same situation and could only sigh at why he didn't focus on body training.

The disciple behind didn't know this and continued to speculate when Ye Chen's luck would end up. Many of them even ignored how far they were reaching and would break the record or not.

Of course, there were disciples who cared about this and were constantly keeping their eyes on how far they had gone.

"Four hundred meters! They both reached four hundred meters and are continuing forward!"

"Looks like the legendary record of four hundred and eighty meters is going to break today!"

The disciples couldn't help but take a deep breath with jealousy and admiration.

Meanwhile, Ye Chen and Ji Feng continued forward, encountering an enormous amount of pressure at every meter. If their physical bodies weren't strong enough, they might have been injured seriously.

'It's getting more and more difficult.' Ye Chen thought to himself as he felt the pressure doubling after reaching four hundred meters.

He had a lot of questions in his mind, wondering what the mystic pond was testing and for what reason it was here and giving opportunities to Qi-gathering disciples.

Maybe Lu Feng had all of these answers, but he didn't have time to torture him, so he could only get to the end of the lake and find out what was going on.

As for the people behind competing with him or the record of the farthest one had reached, he didn't give a shit about it. For him, they were all small matters, not to mention they provided no benefit, so he simply didn't care.

However, no one knew what was going through his mind; even Ji Feng, who was following him, thought Ye Chen wanted to break the record; hence, he kept swimming forward without any caution.

'Sigh, Ye Chen, I had a lot of hopes for you, but if you act like this, you are not enough to enter in my eyes,' he couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

Behind him, Qin Lian also thought the same and shook his head with disappointment.

For a genius to grow up, they needed to face other geniuses, not the stupids.

As both Ji Feng and Qin Lian reached such a conclusion, Ye Chen swam past four hundred and fifty meters.

Watching this, Ji Feng became serious and sped up a little. Although he disagreed with Ye Chen's decision to rush forward, he didn't want to fall back. Of course he was being cautious, making sure that he was ready for any unnatural mystic Qi waves.

"Look, they are competing with each other!"

"What? Why are they doing this? Can't they just go slowly and break the record?"

"Humph! That Ye Chen must be at the limit, so he sped up and is trying to break the record. I guarantee that he will be running back after a while."

"Yeah, if he doesn't come back running, then he is going to get kicked out very soon."

Many disciples spoke against Ye Chen. Of course there were also voices in his favor, but the majority would just ignore them.

Splash! Splash! Splash!

Ye Chen finally reached four hundred and eighty meters. But no one cared and just said he was forcing it. Even when he swam further, their views remained the same.

It was at this moment the crown prince Ji Feng also swam past the record, and the crowd behind erupted in cheers. It was, after all, a legendary record that had not been broken for five hundred years.

"The great-grand king had set this record that time, and now his great-grandson broke this!"

"Yeah, and he is even going further!"

Most of the disciples were excited as they witnessed this. As for Ye Chen, they all ignored him, even Ji Feng, who broke the record, forgot about him and swam forward to set a new one.

However, just as he reached the five hundred meters, he was hit with an invisible wall. No matter how hard he tried, he just couldn't go further.

"What happened? Why does it look like the crown prince is facing some trouble?"

"Looks like something is stopping him; does that mean the limit of Mystic Pond is five hundred meters only?"

The disciple couldn't help but whisper to themselves.

Even the crown prince Ji Feng thought of this when suddenly his eyes became focused ahead.

"How is this possible?!" he questioned with a shocked look as he saw Ye Chen emerging from underwater and still going ahead without any trouble.

It's not like he didn't think of diving under the water, but the pressure of mystic Qi was too high even if someone went down just a few feet. There was no way he would be able to handle this with his physical body, so he refrained from doing this.

But now that someone had done the impossible, how could he not be shocked, especially since he thought Ye Chen must have given up and slipped away when he was not paying attention?

"He… how could he not be afraid of his body getting collapsed under pressure?" He questioned again with an unbelievable look while trying to see if there was any other way to bypass the invisible wall.

However, there was none; no matter how hard he searched, in the end, he could only give up and look at Ye Chen, who had already reached six hundred meters.

The disciples behind also saw this, and they were all shocked. Some even doubted if this was real or not.

"Hey, weren't you saying brother Ye Chen was just pretending and relying on his luck? Now show me someone who can go that far with just luck." Li Zhenyuan, who had been angered by their statements, spoke coldly, and before anyone could answer, he continued.

"You better think before answering because I am going to tell Brother Ye Chen whoever speaks ill of him now," he threatened.

Hearing his words, the disciples who were badmouthing Ye Chen couldn't help but shiver. Who knows what that demon will do after the two weeks are over? Maybe he will find fun in making their numbers even less.

The more they thought of this, the more they believed Ye Chen would do this; hence, many of them shut up, and some of them apologized hurriedly.

"Look, brother Ye Chen had gone past seven hundred meters! But why does it feel like the water around him is getting bloody? Am I the only one who is seeing this?"

Suddenly a male disciple pointed forward. Many focused their eyes ahead, but since the distance was a little long and the cave was darker ahead, no one could see clearly what was happening, except Ji Feng, who was close to him and had great eyesight.

'He is injured! But why is he still pushing forward?' He thought with a frown as he saw fresh wounds on his skin and blood flowing out like water.
