Several geniuses from the Ten Thousand Flames Sect were also ascending. They had already climbed more than fifty steps when a sudden gust of wind swept past, whipping their robes about with a rustling sound and sending strands of black hair flying. They looked at each other in bewilderment.
What's going on? Did someone just pass us?
Impossible. No one could be that fast. Not even Senior Sister Fire Dance could move at such a speed.
The other geniuses shook their heads in agreement. It couldn't have been a person. It was probably just a gust of wind.
On the 70th step, Fire Spirit was taking a break. By now, he had completely outpaced everyone else. He was the fastest one there. With only thirty more steps to go, he would soon reach the summit and claim the treasure. A surge of excitement coursed through him at the thought. Once he obtained the treasure, the first thing he would do was get revenge. He would personally defeat Lin Xuan and settle the grudge.
