It took Alex and the others half an hour just to reach 600th plank. They had been bombarded by a Martial Emperor pressure ever since they stepped on the 501st plank. Fortunately, no one was actually weak enough to even use their Spiritual Energy. Sherry and Kyle were already 7-Star Martial Emperor, so they could still walk easily while facing Martial Emperor pressure, let alone Stina, a peak Martial Emperor. On the other hand, Alex's body was sturdy enough to not get swayed by a weak pressure like that.
After all, the pressure itself was intending to chip away one's energy, not attack them. From Alex's perspective, the pressure didn't go more than 5-Star Martial Emperor energy, so he was fine.
Alex faced another problem after stepping on the 600th plank. He looked at the people in front, many of them started dropping out after reaching this point.
