Everyone watched in shock as Adrian effortlessly took a step forward, appearing to leap across three cloud steps at once. His goal was to cross three steps at once, but the immense gravitational force was overwhelming. Nonetheless, he had skipped two steps in a single movement, leaving the crowd astonished. Though he hadn’t fully succeeded yet, his attempt was remarkable. Skipping two cloud steps was no small feat, and Adrian's daring was beyond belief.But Adrian didn’t stop there. In the next moment, he stepped forward again. The onlookers were on edge, unable to comprehend what Adrian was trying to accomplish. Was he really planning to leap steps like this? The sheer risk of the act was terrifying.“He’s gone mad! This guy is already approaching the 140th step!” someone exclaimed.No one knew what awaited Adrian at the 140th step, where the gravity was likely far more intense than at the 130th. Even the Astrals struggled when they reached that point, needing to pause and catch th

“Damn it! Looks like we underestimated him,” muttered one of the Astrals. He hadn’t anticipated Adrian's power to reach such a high level, seemingly rivaling their own.His companion’s face darkened in response. “Let’s hurry. If we move faster, he won’t be able to catch up.”“So what if he catches up?” the first Astral sneered. “He’s still just at the Nascent Stage. If he tries to act tough, we’ll crush him. No need to worry. We’re already at the 155th step, and they’re still ten steps behind. Even if he catches up, he won’t stand a chance against us.”Meanwhile, below, Adrian was gaining speed. In what seemed like a reckless sprint, he reached the 140th step in an instant, leaving everyone stunned. Suddenly, a beam of golden light shot forth, slamming into both Adrian and Tyron. The crowd gasped in disbelief.“What’s going on? There was no reward at the 140th step!” someone exclaimed.The two Astrals had gained nothing upon reaching that step, yet now Adrian and Tyron had receive

The two were formidable, but Adrian was the one who truly inspired fear.“That bastard is so powerful!” one of the Astrals exclaimed, eyes wide with shock.“Hmph! No matter how strong he is, he’s carrying dead weight. Let’s go!” The other Astral unleashed a powerful burst of energy and flew up the cloud steps.Adrian’s gaze grew colder. Five minutes had passed, and he knew time was running out. If he didn’t act now, he’d miss his chance. The two Astrals moved up the steps with effortless ease.As Adrian prepared to move, a massive, terrifying force surged from the void. His eyes flashed with determination. “Bring it on! I’m not afraid of you!” he shouted.Tyron, standing beside Adrian, felt the crushing gravity and thought, ‘Is this the fate of a true genius?’Suddenly, a golden light flickered in Adrian’s hand and enveloped Tyron.“Tyron, do you still have the courage to climb with me? I’m about to do something insane!” Adrian said, his eyes gleaming with intensity.Clearly, A

The Astrals had never expected Adrian to be so powerful. In a short span, he had leaped across five cloud steps in a single move. Though it seemed success was within Adrian’s grasp, the Astrals were determined to stop him.“Should we make a move now?” one Astral asked, his expression darkening.“If we act now, the gravity will likely target both of us. If the current force of fifty thousand pounds doubles to a hundred thousand, even we won’t be able to withstand it,” the other Astral replied.Both were on the 158th cloud step, where the gravity was so intense it could snap their necks at any moment. The gravity on the cloud steps increased with each step higher. The further one climbed, the more unbearable the force became, making each step a struggle. This explained why even the strongest Astral found it difficult to ascend higher.For the Astrals, recklessly charging ahead could have disastrous consequences. But Adrian pressed forward without hesitation, driven by a fear of falli

The Astrals were stunned. They could hardly believe that Adrian had reached the 150th step.“Is this brat really going to make it up here?” one of the Astrals said grimly, as the situation grew increasingly unfavorable for them.“If he actually makes it up here, we’ll need to put all our effort into killing him on the spot. Otherwise, he’ll become a future threat,” the second Astral warned.Adrian was a genius, and if they didn’t deal with him now, he might become a significant problem for them later.“Alright!” The two Astrals nodded and exchanged a determined glance.Tyron, still trying to grasp what had just happened, looked around in astonishment. Standing on the 150th step, what had seemed impossible with Adrian now appeared to be within reach. “Adrian, the spiritual energy around us seems much denser. The higher we go, the more likely we are to break through the cloud steps,” he observed.Adrian smiled faintly and replied, “That’s probably true. But remember, this is only
