Douluo 2: Lord of the Gods.

Chapter 392: The First Test of the Ice God: Climbing, Extreme Pain
"What about you?"

Xue Di looked at Su Yu and asked.

Su Yu spread his hands and said, "The first of the nine tests of the Ice God is to cross the long steps of the Ice God and cross the nine hundred and ninety-nine steps of the Ice God. The time limit is one year."

"Nine hundred and ninety-nine steps of the Ice God Stairs?"

Xue Di widened his eyes, wondering if he had heard it wrong.

"You heard it right, it's level nine hundred and ninety-nine."

Su Yu sighed helplessly, "Women."

Hearing this assessment, even Su Yu's mouth twitched.

I’ve never eaten pork and I’ve never seen a pig running.

Without having to think about it, Su Yu knew that the higher one climbs up the Ice God Ranks, the greater the pressure will be.

Perhaps the pressure faced every ten steps is not at the same level.

What's more, he had to cross nine hundred and ninety-nine levels, which was three times that of the Snow Empress.

He couldn't even imagine how much more difficult the additional 666 levels would be.

This Ice God is really a petty woman. She actually did this.

"Nine hundred and ninety-nine steps of the Ice God Stairs. Lord Ice God is quite cruel."

Mu Wu smacked his lips, touched the bump on his head, and couldn't help shivering.

Their Lord Ice God is really a narrow-minded person.

Not only did he use his divine power to beat him, but he also tormented the young master like this during the assessment.

The 999th level of the Ice God Stairs, under the maximum pressure, let alone others, even he could hardly guarantee that he could pass it.

After all, this Ice God Stage not only tests the body but also the mental strength.

He could imagine how much suffering the young master had to endure.

And, most importantly, this is only the first test.

What about the subsequent assessment?
Will it be more difficult?
Mu Wu secretly worried for Su Yu. It was true that one should not offend women. This was too cruel.

"Nine hundred and ninety-nine steps of the Ice God Stairs, can this be completed?"

"Su Yu, why don't you apologize to Lord Ice God?"

Xue Di said with some concern.

When she heard that Su Yu's number of assessments was three times hers, even with Xue Di's temperament, she couldn't remain calm at all.

"apologize?"

"Bullshit!"

"It's just the 999th level of the Ice God Staircase. It's just a trivial matter, a piece of cake. I don't believe that it can really stump me."

"As for the Ice Goddess, the ten-thousand-year-old virgin, I will settle accounts with her sooner or later when I ascend to the God Realm."

Su Yu raised his head and uttered harsh words.

Xue Di was helpless. Su Yu usually seemed to be very accommodating to her, but in fact he had a stubborn temper.

She is just a little arrogant on the surface, but this man is arrogant in his heart.

She couldn't change what Su Yu decided.

In the sky, a proud and narrow-minded baby was grinding his teeth hard.

A perpetual virgin?
Okay, okay, you dare to call me God like that, right?

Do you still want to go to the God Realm to settle accounts with me?

This God is waiting for you.

Little bastard!

A certain arrogant god who didn't want to reveal his identity clenched the ice spear in his hand.

"Well, it's getting late. Let's leave first and start trying to climb the Ice God Stairs tomorrow."

Su Yu said calmly.

Xue Di nodded and had no objection to Su Yu's arrangement.

After looking at the dark blue gun body on the stone platform which had dimmed again, Su Yu turned and left.

……

……

next day!

Early in the morning, after breakfast, Su Yu and Xue Di came to the island again.

Standing at the foot of the mountain, looking at the densely packed Ice God Stairs in front of them that looked like a ladder to heaven, Su Yu and Xue Di both had eager looks on their faces.

"Xue'er!"

Su Yu and Xue Di looked at each other, stood up together, and walked towards the Ice God Stairs in front of them.

The Ice God Staircase was shrouded in thick ice-blue light, swaying slightly like flowing water.

Su Yu stepped onto the stairs, and a completely different feeling came over him.

If the first time I climbed the Ice God Stairs, the Ice God's Light brought me freshness and comfort.

This time, when the foot landed, it was followed by an invisible pressure, as if pushing the person backwards.

Not only that, there is also a feeling similar to a needle prick that goes straight into the soul.

This is a double test of body and soul.

Su Yu's eyes fixed, and he stepped onto the stairs completely.

In an instant, an invisible pressure pressed down on Su Yu's body, as if it could penetrate every pore.

Fortunately, the pressure was not too strong. Su Yu endured the feeling and climbed a hundred steps in one breath.

Compared to Su Yu, Xue Di's performance was much more difficult.

After all, her body was not as strong as Su Yu's, so she moved much slower.

When Su Yu reached level 100, she had just climbed to level 50.

“Xue’er, this is your first time climbing the Ice God Steps. Don’t push yourself too hard. If you can’t hold on, stop and don’t let yourself get hurt.”

Standing on the 100th step, Su Yu acted as if nothing had happened and continued to give instructions to Xue Di in a relaxed manner.

"I see."

Xue Di nodded slightly, determination revealed in her beautiful eyes, and continued to climb.

Level seventy.

Level eighty.

Level 100.

When Xue Di climbed to Su Yu's side, she obviously felt the pressure.

The omnipresent pressure seemed to be wrapped in water, pressing almost every part of the body equally.

Even the soul power circulating in the body seemed to be suppressed, and its movement became much more obscure.

The Snow Queen frowned slightly, but her beautiful eyes were sparkling, and she had obviously discovered the benefits of the Ice God's Light.

"Su Yu, this Ice God's Light can actually temper soul power?"

If one practices frequently under this kind of oppression, the soul power may be obscure at first, but as long as one persists in practicing it, it will become more and more pure.

Although the soul power of the ultimate ice is already quite pure, the light of the ice god still seems to be able to play a role.

I have to say, this is quite surprising.

"The test itself is also a process of improvement. It is not just a reward after completing the test. The test itself is a great help."

Su Yu said softly.

For the divine test, what’s important is not only the reward, but also the test itself.

Sometimes, during the assessment process, there will be unimaginable gains.

"I understand."

Xue Di was thoughtful.

Su Yu patted Xue Di's shoulders and said:

"I'll go up first. You can do it according to your ability. Sit down wherever you feel is suitable and practice there."

"Don't be impatient, adapt slowly."

Giving Xue Di an encouraging look, Su Yu set sail again.

Su Yu's climbing speed was still very fast. After his body was tempered by ice and fire, his physical strength was not inferior to that of an ordinary level 98 Super Douluo.

The physical strength is even more terrifying.

He endured the enormous pressure and climbed directly to the 300th step.

Standing on the 300 steps, Su Yu's expression had become solemn.

He can still withstand the pressure here.

But the pain in the soul was quite annoying. If the 100th step was like someone driving a nail through your palm, then the 300th step was like a bullet piercing your bones.

Su Yu frowned, but still didn't stop.

Having experienced the Ice Emperor's bone-changing process, he can still endure this kind of pain.

Level 400.

Level 450.

Level 500.

When he reached the 500th level, Su Yu's legs finally went weak and he sat down directly on the stairs.

The pain of the 500th level and the 300th level are completely on a different level.

If level 300 is a bullet piercing the bone, then level 500 is like sawing off the leg with a hacksaw without anesthesia.

The so-called scraping the bone to cure the poison is probably just this.

Even Su Yu would find this level of pain difficult to endure.

What's more, on the Ice God Stairs, one has to endure the ubiquitous pressure at all times, as if being in the deep sea.

The combination of the two is a huge test of people's endurance.

"This is only level 500, and there are still 499 levels left."

Even Su Yu's mouth twitched.

The 500th level is equivalent to scraping the bone to cure the poison. Wouldn’t the ones after that be similar to the eighteen levels of hell?
If a person endures this kind of pain for a long time, won’t he go crazy?

No wonder Mu Wu said mysteriously that it can enhance mental strength. If one can endure this kind of pain, wouldn’t one’s mental strength increase?

This is even more brutal than self-mutilation.

"This old woman Bingshen is so fucking extreme."

Su Yu hesitated.

While both of them are climbing stairs, the Sea God at most brings some pressure, while the Ice God not only brings pressure, but also pain.

Only those who endure the most hardships can become the best, right?
As long as you are willing to endure hardship, you will have endless hardship to endure.

Su Yu's eyes twitched and he continued to climb. He wanted to test his limits.

When Su Yu climbed to the 557th step, he could no longer endure the pain. He was distracted for a moment, his foot slipped, and he was immediately flung away by the Ice God's light.

This time, Su Yu was like a cannonball, shooting straight towards the foot of the mountain.

If you fall hard this time, even if there is no danger, you will be shocked and dazed.

The rebound force of the Ice God's Light is no joke.

"Su Yu!"

Seeing this scene, Xue Di was shocked and screamed.

Just when Su Yu was about to land at the foot of the mountain, a dragon roar was heard, and a plump figure hugged Su Yu.

Su Yu felt as if he had crashed into a ball of cotton, which was not as hard as he had imagined.

He couldn't help but look up, and saw a mature woman with ice dragon horns on her head looking at him with a slightly flushed face.

"It's Bingbing, thank you."

When Su Yu saw the figure, a smile appeared on his face.

The ice dragon landed icily on the ground and put Su Yu down.

"Young Master, just focus on clearing the barriers. I will always be here."

The ice dragon Bingbing said.

"That would be troublesome for you."

Su Yu smiled, patted her shoulders, and walked towards the Ice God Stairs again.

This time, Su Yu climbed at a relatively fast speed and reached the 500th step again.

Without going on, Su Yu sat down cross-legged.

Relatively speaking, this is the most suitable place for him at the moment.

He needed some time to adjust to the excruciating pain while bearing the pressure.

Of course, it is also for the purpose of tempering soul power and practicing better.

Soon, a month passed.

Su Yu has moved from the original 500 steps to the 600 steps.

When I reached the 600th step, the pain intensified, like I was having a cramp.

That kind of pain made Su Yu feel so bitter.

Simply speaking of the pressure he was enduring, even level 600 would not be a problem for Su Yu. His body was very strong, but this kind of pain was really exhausting.

After climbing every day, Su Yu felt like his body was no longer his own.

That kind of torture that comes from the depths of the soul is really awesome.

As a result, during this month, Su Yu didn't even have the desire to get close to Xue Di.

Because mentally, I just can't bear anything else.

After each session, Su Yu just wanted to sleep and didn’t want to do anything else.

Wiping the sweat from his forehead, Su Yu opened his eyes.

It was already past four in the afternoon. Su Yu had started practicing here at around eight in the morning, and it had been nearly eight hours.

People have their limits, and Su Yu has not yet reached the point where he is no longer a human being.

He also felt that he couldn't help it anymore.

"That's it for today."

Su Yu sighed, stood up and walked downstairs.

Soon Su Yu arrived beside Snow Empress. Snow Empress had now reached the 170th step, which was quite a progress.

But Su Yu knew that this was nothing, because it would become more and more difficult as time went on.

When pressure and pain come at the same time, people will feel quite powerless.

After all, Snow Emperor is still only a Soul King now. Although he is the ultimate ice, his physique is still not outstanding.

She is under a lot of pressure, actually.

"Xue'er, let's stop here and come down with me to rest."

Su Yu stretched out his right hand.

Xue Di opened her eyes, her beautiful ice-blue eyes looked a little dim, as if they had lost their luster.

After eight hours of continuous torture, it was obvious that Xue Di was reaching his limit.

"Ah."

Xue Di hummed softly, stretched out her jade hand, and grasped Su Yu's fingers.

Su Yu exerted a little force, pulled Xue Di up, and held her in his arms.

Then, he rushed down the Ice God Stairs at an extremely fast speed.

When I reached the foot of the mountain, all the pressure disappeared and I felt noticeably lighter.

The pressure suddenly changed, and Xue Di lost her balance and fell into Su Yu's arms.

Su Yu quickly supported her, but Su Yu himself was not in much better condition.

Without that invisible pressure, a feeling of fatigue surged up from the depths of my soul.

Su Yu only felt that his mind seemed to be numb and chaotic, and he didn't want to think about anything at all.

He shook his head, took out a nourishing leaf from the soul guide, and stuffed it into the mouth of Xue Di beside him.

I took out a piece and put it in my mouth. After chewing it twice, a clear stream of water rushed to my mind. I felt refreshed instantly and the numbness disappeared a lot.

This soul-nourishing leaf was naturally obtained from the Yin-Yang Eyes of Ice and Fire. In addition to the immortal products, Su Yu also brought out a lot of other medicinal herbs.

After waiting for half a minute for the medicinal effect of the Yang Shen Leaf to dissipate, Su Yu and Xue Di felt much more energetic.

"Xue'er, go back and take a shower first, I'll take you somewhere later."

Su Yu rubbed Xue Di's hair and said softly.

"Where?"

Xue Di asked doubtfully.

"You'll know then."

Su Yu said with a smile.

Xue Di blinked and didn't ask any more questions.

The two returned to the palace together. Su Yu quickly finished his bath and sat on the ice jade bed with his eyes closed to rest.

After a while, Xue Di also finished her bath. She was wearing an ice-blue dress and walked slowly with lotus steps.
