At this moment.
Enveloped in mist, Ye Wu advanced towards the seven hundredth step.
Before, during her climb, she could still encounter a few people. But here, she hadn't seen any other climbers for a long, long time.
The road ahead for her was destined to be a lonely path.
Her pace was much slower than when she first started.

Ye Wu stood on the 699th step, step by step.
The entire way she came, every step was squeezed by pressure from all directions.
Beads of sweat appeared on Ye Wu's forehead.
