Heyang City, Thousand-Autumn Steps.
Returning to his senses from the sea of consciousness, forty-six steps had already been easily crossed.
Looking back down, the steps behind him layer upon layer are steep beyond measure, looking more like a cliff.
Shen Han looked towards the edge of the gathering, and surprisingly, Cailing was waving at him.
This little girl only knew how impressive her young master was, but didn’t quite understand what over forty steps represented.
Standing next to Cailing, the Yun family uncle’s expression grew increasingly solemn.
Last night, he watched Shen Han intently the entire time.
If Shen Han were to lose focus on any step, he would protect him.
Originally, he thought that at most, ten or more steps would be Shen Han’s limit, but after ten steps, there came twenty.
After twenty steps, there were thirty...
After thirty steps, not only did Shen Han not stop, he even quickened his pace a bit.
Under the watchful eyes of the Yun family uncle, Shen Han stepped onto the fortieth step...
After forty steps, there was still no sign of fatigue, and he became faster and faster.
To be honest, the Yun family uncle was a bit surprised by this.
He originally thought Shen Han was only perceptive and that his talent in the Martial Path was not that great.
But now, Shen Han had passed forty steps, and going further, he would have to cross fifty steps...
Stepping into the Thousand Autumns, surpassing fifty steps.
No matter how harsh the criticism or emphasis on luck, no one would dare say Shen Han was inadequate.
"Such an outstanding young one, yet the Shen Family treats him like this..."
The Yun family uncle sighed softly, continuing to watch the Thousand-Autumn Steps, ready to protect Shen Han at any moment.
For Shen Han, forty-six steps posed no significant difficulty.
And with gradual training, he became more proficient in using the Celestial Dao Sword Momentum, able to leap over a step in at most a hundred breaths.
Shen Mansion.
Old Dowager Shen, Madam He, and Madam Xie, a group of people gathered around the Sound Transmission Magical Artifact.
As required, each time Shen Han took a step up, the side in Heyang City would report back once.
"Young Master Han has stepped onto the forty-seventh step."
"Young Master Han has stepped onto the forty-eighth step, and quite easily..."
With each piece of news, the faces of those in the hall grew more somber.
Many of the servants standing around shivered slightly at these words.
The once unappreciated Fifth Young Master of the Shen Family now seems different.
In the midst of silence, Old Dowager Shen coughed lightly.
"The first fifty steps of the Thousand-Autumn Steps are but a foundation.
Back when Ye’Er participated in this Thousand-Autumn Competition, he took just over two time periods to cross the first fifty steps.
Moreover, he might not even be able to ascend those fifty steps, still falling far behind that Su Jinyu kid."
Old Dowager Shen spoke, not knowing if she was speaking to others or to herself.
Quietly waiting.
The words from the Sound Transmission Magical Artifact continued.
"Young Master Han has crossed the forty-eighth step..."
"Crossed the forty-ninth step..."
"At 7:15 AM, Young Master Han stepped onto the fiftieth step."
The news that he stepped onto the fiftieth step still came through the Sound Transmission Magical Artifact.
Old Dowager Shen could still deceive herself earlier, saying that Shen Han was just lucky to achieve some good results on the Thousand-Autumn Steps.
But the achievement of stepping onto the fiftieth step couldn’t just be attributed to luck...
And it wouldn’t be long before the news of Shen Han stepping onto the fiftieth step of the Thousand-Autumn Steps would spread.
The Shen Family Patriarch, along with her third son, would also know about this.
Sitting in her chair, Old Dowager Shen fell into silence, and during that silence, Shen Han unexpectedly stepped up another step.
Rising to her feet, Old Dowager Shen hurriedly asked Cai Xue to support her to the ancestral hall.
"Go, fetch another Sound Transmission Magical Artifact and send a transmission to the master."
Hearing Old Dowager Shen’s instructions, Cai Xue rushed off and quickly returned with a Magical Artifact.
After hesitating for a moment, Old Dowager Shen sent a transmission to Shen Qingshan.
