Song Yan Ning and Qin Yushen were indeed surprised when they saw Gai Yue. His presence here meant that he was also a cultivator.
Gai Yue drew his weapon, aiming at Song Yan Ning and Qin Yushen. He was determined not to let them surpass him; even if he couldn't reach the top of the tower, the first place would be his.
Song Yan Ning and Qin Yushen saw the weapon in Gai Yue's hands and the corners of their mouths twitched. He was a cultivator too; did he not understand that such a weapon was utterly ineffective against them? However, they now confirmed something—Gai Yue was not from the Emperor Realm, but from Earth like them. They wondered who had taught him his cultivation method.
"You'd better not come any higher, otherwise I won't be polite," Gai Yue threatened, brandishing his weapon. He knew it could not harm them; his goal was to distract them so that the pushing force would eject them from the Jiuling Tower.
