No sooner thought than done, Hao Qi did not delay in the slightest and began his ascent immediately. It was around two or three in the afternoon. Strictly speaking, the distance from the base of the mountain to the summit was not particularly far. From Hao Qi's visual estimate, the vertical distance was only about three to four thousand meters. Although it already soared into the clouds and looked majestic and towering, if one were to place this distance on flat ground, Hao Qi estimated he could run it in less than a minute. The true difficulties were the altitude and the sheer steepness, compounded by the wind, snow, and precipitous cliffs. Under normal conditions, an Ordinary Person would likely take several days to reach the summit.
However, once one possessed inner force...
Yes, inner force. Hao Qi made a preliminary estimate of his strength, speed, physical constitution, explosive power, and other basic human attributes. Even without using inner force, his current physical foundation was already several notches stronger than that of the Quasi-Inner Force Realm. If he employed inner force, his physical constitution would be at least one and a half times that of the Quasi-Inner Force Realm, and four to five times that of an Ordinary Person!
