As soon as Queenie stepped on the fourth stair, the whole stretch was immediately filled with the
powerful momentum rolling from the stair. It was clear that the power on the fourth stair had surpassed
Queenie's limit.
'Sure enough, if she wants to pass the fourth stair, she has to surpass her limit, ' Ricky sighed in his
heart.
As soon as Queenie set foot on the fourth stair, she fell to her knees.
Her delicate body was drenched in sweat, as was her beautiful face which was scrunched up in pain.
Her clothes were sticking to her body, stained by both sweat and blood from her various injuries.
At this moment, not only did Queenie suffer from great pain, but also she felt like a huge mountain was
suppressing her.
She couldn't move! Under the pressure and pain, it wouldn't take long for her to fall into a coma, and if
that happened, her challenge would fall through.
So, before she fainted because of the endless pain and pressure, she had to go beyond her limit. If she
could not surpass her pinnacle, she would not pass the fourth stair.
In her peak state, the Black Devil body and the Heavenly Ice body appeared behind her.
At the same time, her willpower and desire for martial arts surfaced in her Soul Sea.
How could she go beyond her own limit, the limit of her willpower? She would rely on her desire, her
will, and the path she never gave up and kept pursuing.
She was now on the path to being a saint.
No matter how many thorns there were in front of her, she must step forward even if the blood drained
from her feet.
Her willpower turned into momentum and constantly increased the strength of her body. Her half-
kneeling body slowly recovered enough strength to stand up.
"I didn't expect that Queenie would have such a strong will," Ricky solemnly remarked as he looked at
the scene on the fourth stair.
"She will surely pass the fourth stair!" he continued.
"Talent, spiritual meridian, blood power...Although these things are important, the most important
element is a determined mind in martial arts," added the Dragon Intent Grass. "And Queenie has such
a determined mind in martial arts.
What's more, she has the Black Devil blood power and the Heavenly Ice blood power. And her spiritual
meridian is not low-grade either. Therefore, among all the peerless geniuses, we can say that she is
one of the best.
With such great willpower, she can certainly pass the fourth stair!" As soon as it finished speaking,
Queenie resolutely gathered all her power and stood up.
She was bleeding all over, including the blood from body refining and the blood that flowed out from her
skin due to endless pressure.
There was so much blood that her clothes now had a distinctive red-tinge on them.
However, the excitement was coursing through her veins. She stood up and determinedly passed
through the fourth stair.
At that moment, all the power and momentum of her body had increased. She had successfully
surpassed her limit!
Queenie could barely contain the excitement she felt at that moment.
Without hesitation, she went straight for the fifth stair. She wanted to pass the fifth stair in one go with
the willpower and momentum she had just used to surpass her limits.
"The next part is the most critical. People with great willpower can surpass their own limits once, but it
isn't easy to surpass their limits for the second time immediately. Even if you did it once, the second
time would be so much harder to achieve," said the Dragon Intent Grass to Ricky.
He could only sigh in response. "There's nothing we can do from here. All I can do right now is to pray
for her," Ricky finally whispered back.
Although he didn't have a deep friendship with her yet, he sorely hoped that she could surpass her
second limit and pass the willpower test.
But in the next moment, something beyond Ricky's expectations happened.
After Queenie stepped on the fifth stair, nothing happened. There was nothing on it, not even a trace of
suppressing power.
Then the five stairs disappeared, and an exit appeared in the distance.
"What..." Ricky was extremely confused.
Queenie was also struck dumb.
'Wha—what's going on? Is the test done? Did I pass or did I fail? Why wasn't there anything on the fifth
stair?' she thought in bewilderment.
"I see!" The Dragon Intent Grass was also confused at first, but it soon realized what had happened.
"Dragon Intent Grass, do you know what happened?" Ricky asked.
"It's pretty simple once you think about it. Can't you tell what happened?" the Dragon Intent Grass
replied wryly.
Ricky fell silent and began to meditate after hearing what the Dragon Intent Grass said, and so did
Queenie. They were both sure that the change between stairs was by no means a coincidence.
After a long time, Ricky suddenly saw the light.
If there was power on the fifth stair, which could only be passed by surpassing their own limit once
again, then few creatures in the world could pass the fifth stair.
Even Ricky, an ace genius, could not surpass his limits two consecutive times in such a short time.
Ricky had to admit this.
Therefore, if the fifth stair were equipped with the power of obstruction, Queenie would have failed.
Of course, there was a very small chance, but a miracle could have occurred.
Without any power on it, the fifth stair was used to test one's courage to march forward.
After passing the first three stairs, any creature would be at their last gasp. By then, if one wanted to
step onto the fourth stair, they would have to use all their trump cards to recover their strength.
In this way, after they surpassed their limits and passed the fourth stair, they would have no trump card
left to recover their strength once again.
Once they surpassed their limits on the fourth stair, every creature would ask themselves a question in
their hearts, 'The fourth stair is already so difficult. Can I even survive the fifth one?'
That would be the manifestation of their hesitation and doubt.
Besides, they were exhausted and dying. In such a case, most people would be likely to give up.
Therefore, from the fourth to the fifth stair, courage was required to go forward.
If one had faith, passion for martial arts, and courage to fight to survive the danger of death, they would
step on the fifth stair regardless of their current condition.
It was not shameful to fall on the fifth stair, but one who even dared not step on it would never be
qualified to talk about the path of martial arts.
Consequently, one with such great courage would pass the fifth stair, just like Queenie. On the other
hand, for those without that courage, if they showed the slightest hesitation or timidity, suppressing
power would appear on the fifth stair.
And no miracle could save them then.
"I get it! The test of the grand humanoid evil tree is really amazing!" Ricky praised the tree, sounding
amazed.
"This is the real test. Every warrior who can enter the ancestral land must have first-class talent, blood
power, and spiritual meridian, so their willpower and courage should be tested."
"You're right, Ricky. Only a genius who has all those characteristics deserve to be the owner of the
grand humanoid evil tree, which is a top and precious treasure," agreed the Dragon Intent Grass. At
this time, Queenie was suddenly enlightened too.
It seemed that she, too, had figured out the reason why there was nothing on the fifth stair.
Queenie was grateful that she had not hesitated at that time. She had not cared about her life since
she entered the ancestral land, and she was lucky that she was so focused.
Otherwise, all her efforts would have been in vain, and the sole reason would have been the slightest
hesitation and timidity in her heart.
