The two of them ascended the mountain swiftly, and Luo Feng's pace was equally quick.
When they reached the mountainside, Wu Dalang and Kuai Yangyang exchanged glances, their faces revealing expressions of astonishment.
Their hearts were already roiling like stormy waves.
The reason they could traverse Fiend Extinction Mountain so rapidly was entirely due to the Breathing Technique they practiced.
The Breathing Technique had many functions, one of its most important being the enhancement of soul strength.
After all, the various clans of the Lecherous Ghost Clan existed in soul forms. If one's soul wasn't strong enough, how could they possibly engage in battle with these Colored Ghouls?
When they first ascended Fiend Extinction Mountain, it hadn't been nearly as easy as it was now.
Back then, their speed had been only a tenth of what it was now.
Especially as they neared the summit, the soul pressure increased, slowing their progress.
This was why there weren't many animals on Verdant Grassland who practiced the Breathing Technique.
Very few creatures could pass this trial.
Moreover, the Inheritance Hall only opened once a year, and the number of people allowed inside was limited.
It was only because the Inheritance Hall had recently opened that they could agree to Luo Feng's request.
Otherwise, if they missed this window, they wouldn't be able to open the Inheritance Hall, let alone allow Luo Feng to enter its innermost layer.
Originally, they had only wanted to test how fast Luo Feng could move on Fiend Extinction Mountain.
Now, they had obtained a shocking result.
Seeing that Luo Feng seemed unaffected, they maintained their current speed and pressed onward.
As they drew closer to the summit of Fiend Extinction Mountain, Luo Feng could feel the mental pressure growing stronger.
It was as if a massive mountain had settled into his mind.
This mental pressure was beginning to affect him, causing his physical speed to slow somewhat.
After all, this was Luo Feng's first time.
It was only natural he wouldn't be entirely accustomed to it.
Just as Luo Feng felt the pressure in his mind intensifying, the Beauty Diagram in his consciousness suddenly began to emit a faint glow.
The beauties depicted on the diagram started to dance gracefully.
Each beauty performed a different dance, all of which were currently trending on Douyin.
Watching these beauties dance instantly invigorated Luo Feng's spirit.
The mental pressure vanished without a trace, and his fatigue dissipated completely.
His mood became light and cheerful.
Freed from the pressure, Luo Feng's speed increased once more.
Who knew watching beauties dance could have such benefits?
Was this a hidden function of the Beauty Diagram?
Now Luo Feng suddenly understood why so many young women dancing on Douyin were so popular.
So watching beauties dance came with so many advantages.
Luo Feng felt he had stumbled upon another incredible secret.
(The secret to a cheerful mood: Watch more beauties dance.)
With the help of the Beauty Diagram, Luo Feng could barely feel any mental pressure at all.
His speed increased even further, and he soon caught up to Wu Dalang and Kuai Yangyang ahead.
Approaching the two of them, Luo Feng smiled and said,
"I've already adapted to the environment here. You can pick up the pace a bit—no need to wait for me anymore."
As he spoke, his body surged past them, advancing toward the higher reaches of the mountain.
Wu Dalang and Kuai Yangyang were dumbfounded by what they saw.
Just moments ago, they had clearly noticed Luo Feng's speed beginning to slow.
They had even prepared to reduce their own pace to match his.
Who would have thought that after barely a few seconds of deceleration, Shura's speed would not only recover but become even faster?
In no time, he had overtaken them both.
By all appearances, Luo Feng didn't seem like someone who was setting foot on Fiend Extinction Mountain for the first time.
Watching Luo Feng's figure grow increasingly distant, they hesitated no longer and began accelerating to catch up with him.
Even for them, moving swiftly on Fiend Extinction Mountain was no easy feat.
The faster one climbed, the greater the mental pressure they endured.
But under these circumstances, they couldn't just stand by and let Luo Feng leave them in the dust.
That would be utterly humiliating.
Thus, they quickened their pace in pursuit.
Soon, they caught up to Luo Feng.
By then, however, they had already begun employing their Breathing Techniques, their bodies flickering with energy.
Noticing the energy fluctuations radiating from Wu Dalang and Kuai Yangyang, Luo Feng asked in confusion, "Did we run into some kind of danger?
Are you preparing to fight?"
Hearing this, Wu Dalang and Kuai Yangyang nearly lost their composure, their auras growing slightly erratic.
Was this guy even human?
Not everyone could be as monstrous as Luo Feng, traversing Fiend Extinction Mountain with such effortless speed.
Since Luo Feng was no longer affected by the mountain's pressure, his pace was swift—much to Wu Dalang and Kuai Yangyang's discomfort.
To keep up with him, they had no choice but to use their Breathing Techniques.
But to save face, they certainly wouldn't admit the real reason.
Kuai Yangyang forced an awkward smile and said,
"There's no danger here. We just wanted to test whether activating our Breathing Techniques under these conditions could help us train and improve our strength."
Wu Dalang's expression was equally complicated, a bitter smile tugging at his lips as he added, "Practicing Breathing Techniques under pressure does have some benefits for growth."
Luo Feng didn't overthink their explanation. Given the crisis they faced, their diligence made sense.
Calmly, he replied, "Seems I'll have to learn from you two in the future.
Let's keep moving.
I didn't expect climbing Fiend Extinction Mountain to be this simple.
We'll reach the Inheritance Hall in just a few more minutes.
I'm really looking forward to seeing what kind of Breathing Technique we'll obtain."
At this point, Wu Dalang and Kuai Yangyang were too exhausted to even complain about Luo Feng's nonchalant attitude.
Afraid that excitement might affect him, causing his speed to drop due to mental pressure, which would be truly embarrassing.
Time passed quickly.
Because Luo Feng ascended the mountain swiftly, they didn't take long to reach the summit.
At that moment, Wu Dalang and Kuai Yangyang finally stopped circulating their Breathing Technique.
