Crowds of people surged, gathering elite disciples from various sects.
Except for the top fifty strong ones in the last Hidden Dragon Ranking, who are exempted from the assessment, they all have to accept the difficult test set by the Sword Sect, which naturally includes the disciples of the Sword Sect.
“Finally the moment we’ve been waiting for has arrived!”
"This Hidden Dragon Festival is a gathering of elites and powerful people. It has attracted sects from all over the world. The competition is particularly fierce. The value of the Hidden Dragon List is obviously much heavier."
"Yes, regardless of victory or defeat, as long as I am lucky enough to participate in this Hidden Dragon Festival, I will be satisfied."
"I've been waiting for more than half an hour, why is there still no movement from the Sword Sect? I don't know what kind of test they will set for us. It's really worrying."
…
Everyone was chatting with each other, and they were all excited and excited. This was also the Hidden Dragon Festival with the largest number of participants in history, and the ranking on the Hidden Dragon List was very valuable.
"Sister Tianqi, do you think that guy Lin Chen is hiding among us?" Duguxue looked around, searching for suspicious figures, but found nothing.
"If he wanted to hide his identity, he would naturally not be exposed so easily. Don't be too pushy. We will meet again if we are destined." Sima Tianqi was calm and composed, but secretly sighed: "Lin Chen, are you really here?
"
"Xingchen! You promised me that you will not miss the Hidden Dragon Festival! No matter how strong you become, I will definitely take back the Holy Pearl!" Mingyue from Dao Zong said with a firm face. Since the ancient tomb,
Farewell, Mingyue worked hard and finally succeeded in overcoming the calamity and condensing the elixir, becoming a true strong man in the golden elixir realm.
at the same time!
Yunyue was also secretly searching for Lin Chen and said secretly: "Lin Chen has always been cunning and deceived everyone at the weapon refining event. Now he must be hiding among us with some unknown identity.
middle!"
As both inheritors of the Immortal Tomb, Yunyue is better than Sima Tianqi in terms of both background and talent, so her cultivation level is even better and she has reached the third-turn golden elixir realm.
Dugu Chong and Su Meng also opened their heads and looked around.
"Brother Chong, do you think Brother Chen will show up?" Su Meng couldn't help but ask.
"If Brother Chen is still alive, he will not be exposed easily. I believe that Brother Chen will be able to find Brother Chen when the event begins!" Dugu Chong said confidently.
"I hope so." Su Meng nodded slightly, but his hope was slim.
Although Lin Chen has a great reputation, his dazzling genius always falls very quickly and is forgotten by the world. Unless he mentions it deliberately, he will naturally not talk about it.
So Lin Chen also acted very relaxed and sighed secretly: "In this world full of geniuses, the fallen dead are destined to be forgotten. I guess few people will think of 'Lin Chen's name' again, right?"
a long time!
The sky surged, and a rainbow of swords pierced the sky, suddenly flashed into the sky, and a fairy-like old man, who was getting stronger with age, suddenly appeared in the sky. He was calm and powerful, and his power was overwhelming.
Elder Sword Bone!
Everyone was in awe, but he was a well-known and powerful swordsman in the Dragon Transformation Realm.
Although the sword bones are old, they have been cultivated to have diamond war bones, which are comparable to the sharp swords of divine weapons.
"I, Jian Gu, would like to welcome you all! I am very pleased to see that our righteous post-show talents are emerging in large numbers." Jian Gu muttered, "Because the number of participants in this Hidden Dragon Festival has broken a new high in history, in order to improve the hidden dragon event,
The quality of the Dragon Festival will be assessed three times on you to select the truly elite disciples! I will be responsible for the entire assessment process and must be fair and impartial!"
After a pause, Jiangu continued: "Behind me, there is the ladder to the sky built by generations of our Sword Sect's ancestors after countless hardships! It goes directly to the headquarters of our Sword Sect, with a total of ninety-nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine.
Dao Stone Stairs! The first criterion for recruiting disciples in our sect is to pass the test of the Cloud Staircase! The difference is that for the participants of the Hidden Dragon Festival, the difficulty will be increased accordingly."
"I have long heard about the power of the Sky Ladder!"
"Yes, in the past, many disciples who participated in the Sword Sect's outer sect examination died of exhaustion on the ladder to the sky."
"The ladder to heaven is difficult and difficult to reach the sky. It is actually prepared for the examination of the Hidden Dragon Festival. The difficulty will naturally be greatly improved."
…
Everyone was talking in low voices. They were all full of energy and fighting spirit, and were not intimidated by the ladder to the sky.
At this time!
Jian Gu added: "Now, there is a special formation in the Yunxiao Ladder, which will completely limit your cultivation, and will also impose corresponding negative pressure on you! The higher the ladder you are, the heavier the negative pressure will be! There is no ranking list for the assessment
Distinguish, the higher the cultivation level, the greater the restrictions. As long as you can climb to the top of the Sky Ladder, you can pass the level!"
"The assessment content is absolutely fair, and I will supervise the whole process. I hope you won't have any evil thoughts! You are not allowed to interfere with others, otherwise you will be expelled immediately!"
"If there are no objections, you can go up the ladder. The assessment time is two hours. I wish you all good luck!"
…
After the sword bones were solemnly explained, all the warriors could not wait, and they gathered in groups and surged up the ladder to the sky.
This ladder to the sky is quite long. It is divided into three major stages, namely the climbing road, the climbing road and the climbing road. Each stage has 33,333 stone steps.
The negative pressure will increase in a large stage.
The first level is the mountaineering road. The negative pressure is reduced, and the negative pressure is only less than a hundred times. It is not difficult for warriors who can qualify to participate in the Hidden Dragon Festival to walk through the mountaineering road.
Now, everyone is full of vigor and fighting spirit, standing in long queues, climbing the ladder with high spirits and energy.
As for the Golden Core Realm warriors, no matter what stage they are at, the negative pressure they bear is several times stronger than that of the Spirit Warriors. The closer to the end, the more a person's physical strength and willpower will be tested.
Apparently!
The powerful people in the Golden Core Realm, especially those disciples of the Sword Sect, all bore the brunt of the competition and ranked at the front of the ladder. Although they were not affected by each other and behaved very harmoniously, fierce competition began invisibly.
Competitiveness is a common problem among today's young warriors. Although they can pass the level as long as they reach the top, they still care about the order of ranking. They all work hard and climb hard.
The sword bone stood in the air, a pair of sharp eyes scanning the long dragon moving fast on the ladder, smiling: "Yes, young people nowadays are full of fighting spirit. It just depends on how many people can reach the top in the end?"
now!
Lin Chen was tepid, climbing step by step with the flow of people. It was just a peripheral assessment, and there was no need to be so pushy. As long as he passed the level within the specified time, there was no need to care too much about the ranking.
But what surprised Lin Chen was that in the secret formation of the ladder, Lin Chen was unable to hide his cultivation. With his fourth-level Golden Core realm cultivation, he could withstand hundreds of times the negative pressure.
"The Sword Sect's formation is indeed amazing. It's impossible to steal the chicken." Lin Chen couldn't help but sigh. With his physical strength, he can easily handle even 10,000 times negative pressure, let alone hundreds of times.
.
Step by step, Lin Chen kept his rhythm, breathed steadily, and climbed step by step without fighting.
As the ladder ascends, the negative pressure continues to increase invisibly, and due to the limitations of their cultivation, many warriors at the Spiritual Martial Realm have obviously experienced a decline in physical strength and are slightly tired.
Enough!
After traveling for nearly half an hour, hundreds of elite disciples had already taken the lead in crossing the first level of climbing. Without stopping, they continued to challenge the second level of climbing to the clouds.
Even the martial arts contestants Lin Chen was in had basically crossed the mountain climbing path, but Lin Chen was still climbing step by step unhurriedly.
on the contrary!
It seems a bit difficult for the warriors who have not yet climbed onto the second level of Dengyun Road.
"No, no! The negative pressure is getting stronger and stronger, and the physical exertion is too heavy!"
"I'm so tired, I can't hold on anymore!"
"It's just the first level of climbing that's so strenuous. If you think about the next two more terrifying levels, the Deng Yun Road and the Climbing Sky Road, wouldn't you be risking your life?"
…
Some warriors with weak wills and poor physical condition can only choose to give up. There are also some warriors with strong wills who still grit their teeth and endure it, constantly challenging themselves, breaking through their limits, and climbing hard step by step.
Lin Chen looked back and saw that many warriors had given up the idea of climbing the mountain. He shook his head secretly: "The competition is indeed cruel. It's just the first level of mountain climbing, and nearly a hundred warriors have been eliminated. According to the current trend, we can
The warrior who finally climbed to the top probably had difficulty even a quarter of the way!"
What made Lin Chen happy was that Dugu Chong and Su Meng still had enough fighting spirit and had successfully crossed the mountain climbing road.
In fact, Yunxiao Ladder is not scary, but it is afraid of not having a firm perseverance and willpower. This is the essence of Yunxiao Ladder assessment. The real strong people stand out from all difficulties and obstacles.
"What's going on with the star rock? Isn't this speed too slow?"
"Maybe he is conserving his strength?"
"This secret formation of the ladder is very powerful. The strength of the negative pressure depends on the level of cultivation. It is difficult to hide it. Could it be that Xingyan has retained its strength? That is why it is subject to greater negative pressure restrictions than us?"
"Now I can't see through his background more and more."
…
As a powerful enemy, Fengying and the others had always paid attention to Lin Chen. However, they were surprised to find that Lin Chen was still walking up the stone steps calmly.
finally!
When you step on the Dengyun Road, you can clearly feel the clouds and mist lingering around you. Looking down, you can see that there is no bottom. And now we are only one-third of the way. The sword sect can be built on the towering peaks.
, it is indeed a miracle that we can be proud of.
Apparently!
At the second level of Dengyun Road, the negative pressure has doubled, and the progress of the warriors at the front has also slowed down.
"Huh~~"
Lin Chen breathed a sigh of relief, feeling the heavy negative pressure that was being forced invisibly, and said secretly: "It won't be easy from the beginning, and the elimination rate will also become very cruel!"
really!
The warriors who barely survived the first level of mountain climbing did not have enough energy left to attack the second level of climbing the clouds. Many warriors only walked a few hundred stone steps before lying on the stone steps from exhaustion.
certainly!
There are also some warriors who stimulate their potential and achieve physical breakthroughs when they complete the first mountain climbing test.
Therefore, the ladder to the sky is not only a test, but also a kind of tempering.
Some people give up on themselves, while others grow up through hard work. Those who can reach the top are definitely brave. (To be continued)
