At the steps of the fifth floor.

at this time.

Jiang Chen and others were already standing on the seventh step, while Zhang Ziang and others had just stepped onto the sixth step.

At this time, every step they take requires a lot of spiritual energy, and their movements are not as easy and agile as before.

In fact, Jiang Chen was only using 70% to 80% of his strength at this moment, and the same was true for several other people in the same echelon with him.

Seriously speaking, if they use all their strength, they can easily climb up the remaining two steps, but this will definitely waste part of their spiritual power.

In order to save their spiritual consciousness as much as possible and strive to climb more steps than others in the end, Jiang Chen and others were very careful with their calculations. They all wished they could divide their spiritual consciousness into two parts, so at this moment they all controlled their spiritual consciousness accurately and climbed slowly.

steps.

but.

Compared to a few of them, Zhang Ziang and others behind were not so relaxed.

They had just climbed the sixth step, and they had already used all their strength. If nothing else happened, they would only be able to climb one step at most, and they might not be able to climb the eighth step.

These people looked up and glanced at the other people who were continuing to climb upward. Their faces were more or less ugly. Although they knew in their hearts that the items being tested today were not their strengths, being compared with their peers still made them feel uncomfortable these days.

It's a bit hard for the proud man to accept.

"Hmph~ Wait until the next competition, and I will definitely get this situation back today!"

Seeing that Jiang Chen and others had already climbed the eighth step, Zhang Ziang and the others immediately put away their distracting thoughts and jumped towards the seventh step with all their strength.

After a violent collision of auras, Zhang Ziang and others successfully stepped onto the seventh step. At the same time, Jiang Chen and others above had already reached the ninth step.

At this time, in this Wenchang Tower, all twelve of them are in a competitive relationship. It stands to reason that no one will care about the five people who are lagging behind.

But.

What surprised Jiang Chen was that the other people on the ninth step did not rush up to the fifth floor platform in one go. Instead, after standing still, they turned around and looked at the five people below.

"Um?"

Seeing the performance of these people, Jiang Chen was slightly confused, and immediately looked down suspiciously like the others.

...

In the lobby of the villa.

The onlookers all held their breath and stared nervously at the Wenchang Tower in mid-air. They knew that the results of this competition should be announced soon!

"Sure enough, Zhang Ziang and the others couldn't hold on any longer. They have been stopped at the seventh step for a while!"

"Looking at it this way, their final result is the seventh step on the fifth floor!"

"In comparison, the results of the other few people are better. It seems that they didn't have too much effort to climb the ninth step. I think they should be able to go higher, but I don't know why they suddenly stopped there.

"

These people could not see the situation inside Wenchang Tower, so they could only make inferences based on the climbing speed of the twelve light spots. However, everyone had their own ideas when faced with the same scene.

"They have been stopping for a while. This shouldn't be their final score, right?!"

As soon as this sentence was spoken, someone in the crowd immediately retorted.

"No!"

"Although I don't know why they stopped, I'm sure this won't be their final result!"

Everyone was stunned for a moment, then quickly turned around to follow the sound. The next moment, their eyes fell on a young man.

"Look at his clothes...could he be a disciple of [Shifangyuan]!"

Through the clothes on this man's body, someone in the crowd quickly recognized his true identity. Seeing this, those who originally wanted to say something offensive immediately shut their mouths tightly.

[Shifangyuan] is also a first-rate sect in the metaphysics world, but they are not good at Feng Shui, so there are no disciples participating in today's competition, but some people came here specially to watch the fun.

After recognizing this person's identity, someone immediately spoke.

"Senior brother, I just heard you suddenly speak. I wonder why you said that?"

Facing everyone's questioning and curious eyes, the young man smiled slightly, and then said in a calm tone.

"Actually, it's very simple to say."

"Don't forget, what are the identities of these twelve people?"

As soon as the young man said this, everyone around him was stunned again and quickly turned to look at Jiang Chen and others sitting cross-legged in the middle of the hall.

"What are their identities?"

"Warlock?!"

"Young Warlock?!"

"The most outstanding young warlock of this generation?!"

Looking at the people who were confused and making random guesses, the young man had no choice but to speak helplessly.

"They are all disciples trained by major sects. You should all know what the advantages of these major sects are, right?"

Upon hearing this, everyone around them reacted instantly.

"Ah! Are you talking about..."

Before these people finished speaking, they noticed a sudden change on the field: a ray of light suddenly burst out from the bodies of Zhang Ziang and the five people. As soon as these rays of light appeared, they instantly flew into the Wenchang Tower above their heads.

middle.

...

In the Wenchang Tower, Jiang Chen looked at Zhang Ziang and others below, and then looked suspiciously at Li Yang and others next to him.

"What are these guys waiting to see?"

Just when Jiang Chen was confused, he suddenly sensed a strange wave of spiritual consciousness rushing up from below the Wenchang Tower.

"Um?"

Before Jiang Chen could react, he discovered that five rays of light rushed upward from below and flew directly into the bodies of Zhang Ziang and the other five people. The next moment, the few people who were still a little exhausted suddenly became lively and vigorous again.

Under Jiang Chen's surprised gaze, Zhang Ziang and the others rushed upward quickly as if they had taken tonic.

Almost in the blink of an eye, these people climbed to the eighth level of the stairs; and then quickly reached the same ninth level as Jiang Chen and others; after that, they passed through the mist in front and entered the fifth level.

platform.

"This...is this the power of talismans and magic weapons?!" The expression on Jiang Chen's face looked a little complicated.

at this time.

Li Yang, who was closest to Jiang Chen, seemed to have noticed something unusual about Jiang Chen and immediately asked softly.

"Don't tell me that you haven't prepared any talismans or magic weapons for this?"

Jiang Chen turned to look at Li Yang, nodded with an ugly expression.
