Chapter 767: Chapter 773: Then I Act Like One! (3/10)
“The ground beneath our feet is moving?”
Upon hearing this, everyone present was startled and instinctively gazed at Lin Haotian’s toes.
“It really is moving, Lin Haotian is actually still able to use his True Essence? That’s not fair!”
“That’s not the fluctuation of True Essence. It might be a change brought about by Lin Haotian’s body refining technique.”
“I would not have guessed that Lin Haotian’s body refining technique would be so magical.”
As everyone was discussing, Yang Zhen suddenly let out a weird cry, and shouted at Lin Haotian with his hands cupped around his mouth, “Brother Lin, you’re awesome, whoa, why did your speed slow down? Be careful, don’t fall!”
...
Fall?
Hearing Yang Zhen’s words, everyone present wanted to laugh.
With such high cultivation, how could Lin Haotian fall while climbing?
Although Lin Haotian’s speed was slowing down, it was normal. If it were any other person present, they would not have been able to persist until now. It was ordinary to slow down after climbing for a while, after all, stepping on solid ground all the time against nearly vertical mountains has its limits. Under such conditions, even being able to climb was impressive, how could one constantly speed up?
No matter what happened, it was impossible for Lin Haotian to fall.
Everyone looked at Yang Zhen with a strange expression on their faces. Who would have thought that this big-eyed, thick-browed fellow would suddenly brown-nose?
However, it was apparent that Yang Zhen didn’t flatter people often; this time, he flat-out hit the horse’s hoof.
Many people wanted to laugh, but they felt more pity for Yang Zhen than ever before.
Despite outshining ordinary practitioners and boasting unparalleled arrogance, part of it was due to his exceptional talent and aptitude.
But when faced with a nearly perfect person like Lin Haotian, even Yang Zhen would become unbearably vulgar, even learning how to flatter.
But damn it, was that how one flattered? Would Lin Haotian not be able to make it to the top and fall?
At that moment, something unexpected happened!
As Lin Haotian climbed, his speed not only decreased, but he also started to face many dangers as it seemed the entire mountain was against him.
Every time Lin Haotian tried to step forward and use that as leverage to push himself upward, the mountain seemed to detest his foot like it stank, and whoosh, a big hole would appear.
Although Lin Haotian could still step into the hole and use it for leverage, after a while, he seemed to be strained.
What dumbfounded everyone was that these inexplicably appearing holes were uneven in depth.
The most significant factor was that these holes of varying sizes and depths didn’t come up every time, their appearances were random, making it tough for Lin Haotian. His speed decreased, he was shakier, stumbled more, and if he wasn’t careful, he fell.
Seeing that Lin Haotian actually fell, everyone’s eyes almost popped out. Watching Lin Haotian unable to activate the True Essence in his body and just fall from such a high altitude, the crowd swallowed hard, all turning their gaze towards Yang Zhen.
Damn it, was Yang Zhen cursed?
Everyone could climb using this method, let alone Lin Haotian, this prodigy.
Under such a condition, being able to fall, if it wasn’t for Yang Zhen also being unable to utilize his internal True Essence power, everyone would have thought this was his doing.
On the other hand, even if Yang Zhen could use his True Essence, he wouldn’t have been able to do such a thing.
Control the mountain to form holes of all sizes, that’s a pipe dream.
At this moment, no one dared to catch Lin Haotian. Although unlikely, what if Lin Haotian had fallen deliberately?
Who could accurately predict the actions of a prodigy?
Boom!
Only when a dull sound was heard, everyone’s heartbeat violently trembled, and they all looked towards Lin Haotian.
As luck would have it, Lin Haotian fell in front of Yang Zhen, taking a solid faceplant. When he lifted his face, it was covered in dust, manifesting the epitome of humiliation.
The crowd suppressed their laughter, looking at the bewildered Lin Haotian. They wanted to laugh but dared not, the strain on their faces turning them red and visibly uncomfortable.
While others dared not laugh, Yang Zhen just didn’t feel like laughing. He blankly watched the surrounding crowd including Yunla, and stuttered, “Wha… What happened, can people just fall while climbing now? I have no idea, and I dare not ask either!”
Who knew if the famed Lin Haotian had done this deliberately?
If he had indeed done it intentionally, would questioning it not make Yang Zhen appear foolish?
Looking at the confused Lin Haotian and an even more bewildered Yang Zhen, Yue Yazi couldn’t hold back. With a snort, she burst out laughing on the spot.
That scoundrel Yang Zhen, he was indeed quite cheeky. Even if he didn’t know what was going on and truly didn’t dare to ask, he definitely would not have such an expression; he was surely doing this on purpose.
With a resentful look on her face, Yue Yazi glared at Yang Zhen. This scoundrel, with his cheeky demeanor, had now offended Lin Haotian, hadn’t he?
However, in the next moment, Yue Yazi relaxed. Her laughter served as a fuse; numerous people around couldn’t hold back anymore and broke out in laughter.
Lin Haotian’s face turned steel-blue, his gloomy mood almost dripped like water. Just as he was about to get up, Yang Zhen suddenly cried out, “Oh my gosh, Brother Lin, what happened? Quickly, get up! Did you hurt yourself somewhere? Mount Sumeru, truly worthy of being the sacred mountain of the Yaochi Holy Land, home to the Heavenly Star Stele, is indeed quite formidable, its restrictions are way too unpredictable.”
Hearing Yang Zhen’s words, Lin Haotian’s face turned strange colors as Yang Zhen helped him up. He glared intensively at Yang Zhen and said, “You’re right, the restrictions of Mount Sumeru from the ancient times are powerful, way beyond our conjectures. You must not attempt it casually. I was careless just now, but this time I will definitely succeed!”
With that, Lin Haotian, his face steel-blue, leaped forward, rushing towards Mount Sumeru once again.
Yang Zhen let out a startled cry, giving Lin Haotian a fright, “Brother Lin, beware. Those pits might appear again.”
In the process of Lin Haotian’s leap, his graceful figure seemed like a celestial being. After hearing Yang Zhen’s words, he scoffed, “Do you think that the same trick can obstruct me twice?”
“Awesome, Brother Lin! (broken voice)”
Yang Zhen let out an odd cry, his face filled with admiration. He clutched his chest excitedly, almost unable to breathe.
Yunla and the others had spasms at the corners of their mouths. Mo Shuiyan moved closer to Yang Zhen, bumped his shoulder, and said, “Yang Zhen, that’s a bit too much!”
Yang Zhen was startled, “I didn’t do it!”
Mo Shuiyan glared at Yang Zhen and whispered, “Of course, I know you didn’t do it. I’m talking about the expression on your face. It’s a bit exaggerated.”
“Oh, well, I’ll try to be more realistic then!” Yang Zhen said solemnly.
Mo Shuiyan took an unsteady step back, looking at Yang Zhen with a mixed expression. Clearly, there was just no reasoning with this scoundrel Yang Zhen.
True enough, the various differently-sized pits could no longer stop Lin Haotian from moving on his second attempt to reach the summit.
It seemed Lin Haotian had found his groove. His moves became more agile, and he occasionally looked back at Yang Zhen.
Yang Zhen was gesticulating wildly, shouting at the top of his lungs, “Be careful, Brother Lin, don’t fall again!”
The onlookers around changed their faces, looking horrified at Yang Zhen’s mouth. But before they knew it, a grunt was heard from midair.
Everyone hurriedly glanced upwards, nearly dislocating their jaws from shock.

The big and small pits were gone, but a massive stone pole appeared exactly where Lin Haotian had fallen previously.
Lin Haotian accidentally smashed his face into it and fell again with a thud, landing right in front of Yang Zhen.
“Uh… You okay?” Yang Zhen, with a bewildered face, helped Lin Haotian up again.
Everyone gawked. At this point, no laughter ensued. They all cast horrified looks at Yang Zhen. Could this rascal actually be jinxed?
He fell down again!
