Chapter 16 Pass, you are the first, if you can't pass, then get out
Piaomiao Sect.
A ladder-like avenue like a dragon's spine leads directly to the top of the mountain.
There are 39,000 steps in the Piaomiao Ladder, and each step is about 30 centimeters in height.
It is extremely difficult for ordinary people to just climb this ladder. Today, those newcomers who participate in the challenge have to climb this ladder in addition to crossing the forest swamp of more than one hundred miles.
In the afternoon.
On the top of the Misty Ladder, several figures with a majestic aura sat down here.
These people are the senior elders of the Piaomiao Sect, and they are here to check the strength of this year's new batch of newcomers.
If there is anyone you like, you will be accepted as a disciple.
"I heard that the quality of this year's newcomers is very high! Many of them have reached the foundation building level." An elder said.
"Yes! I heard about it too. It seems that Elder Zhou Yufu's nephew is also starting this year."
"Is he called 'Zhou An'? This boy is extremely talented. I heard that he has made a lot of contributions to the family when he was a teenager. I am going to accept him as my direct disciple. You guys, please don't compete with me!"
"Ha, have you obtained the consent of Elder Zhou Yufu for this matter?"
"That's right. Elder Zhou has probably arranged Zhou An's training route in the sect."
"Hmph, then I just won't accept Zhou An as my disciple. There is also a newcomer named 'Liangzi', and her talent is also extremely good."
"Don't even think about Liangzi. I heard that she is Juebianjianzi's sister. With such an outstanding brother, her achievements in the sect will be limitless."
"..."
At the same time, on a side peak to the east of the top of the ladder, stood a tall and imposing young man.
The man has sword-shaped eyebrows and starry eyes, his face is like a crown of jade, and there is an invisible edge between his eyebrows.
This person is none other than Liang Xingchen, the leader of the ten strongest inner disciples of the Piaomiao Sect.
"What a joy! Congratulations to Juebian Jianzi for being crowned the 'True Disciple'..."
At this time, a female voice came, and a cold-looking woman walked over.
This woman was about thirty years old. She was wearing a moon-white robe. She was tall and exuded a sense of nobility.
"Elder Yu Fu was joking. It's too early to say this now." Liang Xingchen turned around and looked at Zhou Yufu.
The latter smiled faintly and said: "It's getting late. You captured Shacheng and made a great contribution to the sect. With your talent and cultivation, it is not difficult to become a true disciple."
Zhou Yufu paused and continued: "I just got the news that the elders have nominated you. Now we just need to wait for the sect leader's personal approval. Then there will be another famous person in our Piaomiao Sect."
True disciple'."
Liang Xingchen's eyes were slightly bright. Once he became a true disciple, he would jump over the dragon gate and reach the top. All the best resources of the sect would be available first.
The true disciples control a great deal of status and power. The most important point is that the candidates for the next generation of sect leaders are also elected from the true disciples.
In other words, Liang Xingchen has a certain probability of becoming the supreme leader in the future.
Even if he cannot become the sect leader, he must still be a high-ranking member of the Piaomiao Sect.
Then, Zhou Yufu looked at the ladder that went straight to the foot of the mountain like a dragon's spine.
"It's almost time... first and second place, it's time to come!"
Zhou An and Liangzi are undoubtedly the first and second newcomers.
In the relationship between Yiliang Xingchen and Zhou Yufu, it doesn’t matter who comes first.
Zhou Yufu has already paved the way for Zhou An. When Zhou An enters the Piaomiao Sect, he will not bow to anyone. All he needs to do is to become Liang Xingchen's right-hand man.
The rewards for first and second place this time are specially set for Zhou An and Liangzi.
After all, according to past rules, the best reward is only a low-grade spiritual weapon.
at this time……
A figure appeared on the misty ladder.
"Coming, coming..." Several elders on the peak stood up.
"Is it that Zhou An?"
"I can't see clearly, but he looks like a man."
"Then it's Zhou An. He can't be wrong. Only with his strength can he climb the Misty Ladder so quickly."
"This kid is indeed a malleable talent. There are still several hours until the sun goes down. He is too far ahead of the others."
"..."
Several elders showed approval. Although they thought that Zhou Yufu had other plans for Zhou An, they still wanted to give it a try.
If he succeeds in fighting for it, he will definitely become an extremely talented inner sect elite disciple in the future.
Even becoming the second good stardust is not guaranteed.
As the figure continued to cross the steps, he was getting closer and closer to the top.
His body shape and appearance became clearer and clearer.
Then, one of the elders frowned and said, "What's going on? He's not Zhou An..."
The other elders were stunned.
"Not Zhou An? Are you kidding?"
"No kidding..." the other party explained: "I accompanied Elder Zhou Yufu to her Zhou family half a year ago and met Zhou An. He doesn't look like this."
"..."
at the same time.
On the side peak on the east side of the ladder, Zhou Yufu could not help but frown.
"what happened?"
Where are Zhou An and Liangzi?
Zhou Yufu turned her eyes to the back of the figure, but saw that the ladder behind him was empty, with not even a single person in sight.
It was obvious that the newcomer was far ahead, even leaving Zhou An and Liangzi far behind.
Zhou Yufu glanced sideways at Liang Xingchen, but saw that his eyes were cold and there was a layer of frost on his face.
It's him!
While Liang Xingchen was surprised, the coldness in his eyes became even stronger.
Didn't Zhou An intercept the target?
"What should we do now?" Zhou Yufu asked.
You must know that those two spiritual weapons were prepared for Zhou An and Liangzi. Now the first person to board the Misty Ladder is another person, which really surprised her.
Liang Xingchen did not answer.
Zhou Yufu immediately calmed down.
She knew what to do next from Liang Xingchen's eyes.
"Tang Qian..."
Zhou Yufu said coldly.
"Whoa!" Suddenly, there was a cold breath, and a figure carrying a thick sword behind him flashed behind Zhou Yufu and Liang Xingchen.
"Master!"
"Stop him!"
"yes!"
"..."
On Ladder Avenue.
Xiao Nuo kept leaping forward. Although for ordinary people, this ladder to heaven is very difficult, Xiao Nuo's figure is indeed extremely stable.
This was after two battles. If he had only faced those jungle monsters, Xiao Nuo would have reached the top even faster.
"Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!"
Xiao Nuo climbed several steps at one step and climbed extremely fast.
"There are only the last few dozen steps left..." Looking at the destination that was about to be reached, a smile of relief appeared on Xiao Nuo's face.
"I'm the first!"
"..."
Getting closer.
There are fewer and fewer steps.
Xiao Nuo speeds up and is about to complete the final sprint.
But just when he was less than ten steps away from the summit...
"Bang!" A red light struck the steps in front of Xiao Nuo.
Suddenly, the strong air flow dispersed, and the messy gravel hit his face. Xiao Nuo, who was caught off guard, was immediately pushed away by this force.
"Is this?" Xiao Nuo flipped in the air and grabbed the ground sideways to stabilize his body without falling.
I saw a heavy and rough sword standing on the steps in front of me.
The tip of the knife entered the ground, and the sharp edge overflowed, and a cold and domineering aura rushed towards Xiao Nuo.
Xiao Nuo's eyes narrowed slightly, and he saw a stern figure slowly walking down the steps. He stopped in front of the big knife, and looked down at Xiao Nuo with a pair of cold eyes...
"This is the last test of the Piao Miao Ladder. If you pass it, you will be the first. If you fail, then...get out!"
