As Long Chen reached the top, countless people saw hope and tried their best to climb forward. However, many people could not hold on and were ejected even after reaching the second stage.
Every moment, someone is ejected. Today, there are less than 300,000 people persisting on the Eternal Road, and most of these people are in the middle.
The Dragon Blood Warriors have reached more than 800 steps, but their speed is obviously much slower, but their steps do not stop at all.
"Actually, there is no need to work so hard. If you just keep moving forward at all times, the slower the speed, the more energy you will save." Mu Qingxuan looked at the dragon-blooded warriors who were struggling to climb the Xuantian Ladder and shook her head slightly.
Long Chen smiled and said: "They know"
"You know how hard you work so hard?" Mu Qingxuan was puzzled.
Long Chen said: "They are not fighting against the Xuantian Ladder, but fighting against themselves. The reason why they are moving forward so fast is to push themselves to the limit.
Senior Sister Qingxuan, you don’t know us. We have average qualifications and even worse backgrounds. To be able to stand where we are today is because of my hard work and blood and sweat.
In fact, we work hard every day and never miss any opportunity to improve ourselves. Especially in this kind of non-life-threatening assessment, we will push ourselves to the limit and then constantly break through the limit.
Only in this way can we maximize the probability of survival. We are very different from other strong people."
Mu Qingxuan's heart trembled slightly after hearing this. Although Long Chen said it easily, Mu Qingxuan could hear the sadness behind the Dragon Blood Legion's efforts from Long Chen's words.
"You are real warriors," Mu Qingxuan praised.
"The key is that there is no other way. In order to survive, we can only become stronger," Long Chen said with a bitter smile.
The warriors of the Dragon Blood Legion refused to stop for a step and climbed with all their strength. They felt tired. That was their intention.
The more tired you are, the more potential you can inspire. They are using powerful negative energy to motivate themselves.
Behind the Dragon Blood Legion, Yan Mochen, Wei Changhai and Han Yunshan tried their best to chase, but were pushed further and further away.
Originally, there were only about fifty steps left, but now the distance was stretched to more than a hundred steps. They were so angry that they gritted their teeth.
The three of them, who were fifth-level geniuses at the same time, were suddenly thrown away by so many people. They chased after them, but were thrown further and further away. This silent slap in the face was really uncomfortable.
Now the dragon-blood warriors have climbed more than 800 steps, and they feel more and more difficult at more than 700 steps.
On the contrary, Zhao Ziyan slowly passed the three of them and distanced herself from them, which made the three of them feel even more uncomfortable.
"You're such an idiot. You think you don't have enough negative energy, so you carry jealousy on your back." Long Chen looked at the expressions in the eyes of the three people and couldn't help but sneered.
"It's indeed a bit stupid," Mu Qingxuan said speechlessly.
In this final distance, people's negative emotions will expand rapidly. The more jealous and resentful they are, the harder it will be to move forward. It is estimated that these three guys have not understood the mystery of the Xuantian Ladder until now.
"call"
A pretty figure jumped up the nine hundred and ninety-ninth step. It was Tang Waner. At this time, her pretty face was a little pale, and her small nose was covered with fine beads of sweat. In her beautiful eyes,
Tired but excited.
"Thanks for your hard work"
Long Chen smiled, took out the silk handkerchief, and gently wiped the sweat on Tang Wan'er's forehead, leaving Tang Wan'er stunned.
"Long Chen..."
Tang Wan'er was a little touched. It was the first time that Long Chen treated her so tenderly, and even made such a doting gesture to her in public. Her nose felt slightly sore.
"I will do it myself"
Tang Wan'er took the silk handkerchief and gently wiped the sweat on her forehead, but while blocking Long Chen's sight, she silently wiped away the tears that fell from the corners of her eyes.
Maybe I should be gentler to her. Although Tang Wan'er's movements were gentle, they still couldn't escape Long Chen's eyes, and Long Chen felt deep self-blame in his heart.
Because Tang Wan'er has a fiery personality and has always been very strong, she deliberately showed disdain for some of Long Chen's concerns.
In fact, Tang Wan'er is also a girl, and she also needs care, but she is afraid that Long Chen will see through her weakness, so she deliberately acts fiercely, like a tigress with its teeth and claws.
Long Chen mistakenly thought that she was a strong girl. Today's unintentional action made Long Chen see another side of Tang Wan'er.
"Wan'er, I'm sorry, I didn't care enough about you."
Long Chen felt apologetic and suddenly opened his arms and held Tang Wan'er in his arms. This action shocked Tang Wan'er and made her pretty face turn red.
"You are crazy. There are... a lot of people here. You will be laughed at."
Tang Wan'er said angrily, and hurriedly broke away from Long Chen's arms, but her pretty face was glowing, her beautiful eyes were shy, but there was a warm smile on her lips.
"Let me see who dares to laugh? Knock out his teeth. Whoever dares to laugh will be cursed to never be able to find a woman in his life," Long Chen said proudly.
"Long Chen, you don't want to knock out my teeth, do you? Fortunately, my sister is not afraid of curses and she doesn't look for women," Mu Qingxuan said with a smile.
"Ahem, senior sister, of course you don't count," Long Chen said with an awkward smile.
"Ouch"
Suddenly there was a scream, followed by a muffled sound, Guo Ran was still on the ground, screaming and getting up from the ground.
"You have exhausted me to death." Gu Yang sweated through his heavy clothes, and his whole body seemed to be fished out of the water. The stone slabs under his feet were wet. He was exhausted from holding Guo Ran.
"Brothers are very kind and virtuous, and my younger brother is wearing a grass ring..."
"Come on, why don't you pour me a glass of water first? It's pointless to talk nonsense." Gu Yang sat down on the ground with a tired look on his face.
Guo Ran quickly went to the front to bring tea and water. If it weren't for Gu Yang, he wouldn't have been able to get up. He had to return the favor quickly.
At this time, a group of dragon blood warriors came up one after another. Everyone looked tired, but their eyes were full of pride.
Looking at the entire Xuantian Ladder, they are the first batch to come up, leaving those fifth-grade geniuses far behind. This is an honor.
After stepping onto this level, they now have an identity - disciples of Xuantian, which means they have a foothold in Zhongzhou.
As the Dragon Blood Warrior reached its peak, Zhao Ziyan also came up three hours later, but Zhao Ziyan was obviously not that tired and looked very relaxed.
"Congratulations, we will be the same sect from now on. Please take care of me." Long Chen greeted Zhao Ziyan when he saw her arrival.
"Brother Long is too modest. He should take more care of my little sister. I don't know if the Dragon Blood Legion is recruiting people, and I don't know if they are qualified to join," Zhao Ziyan said with a smile.
"This..." Long Chen was stunned, not expecting that Zhao Ziyan would ask this question.
Not everyone can enter the Dragon Blood Legion. This question made Long Chen a little embarrassed. Rejecting it rashly would be too embarrassing.
"Little sister is joking. Brother Long, don't take it seriously. Little sister is a little tired. Let's go take a rest." Zhao Ziyan said hello with a smile and left, looking for a place to adjust her breathing.
After Zhao Ziyan left, Tang Waner gently pulled Long Chen and said, "This sister is angry."
"Don't talk nonsense, why didn't I see it?" Long Chen said.
"I am a woman, and I rely on women's intuition," Tang Wan'er said with great certainty.
Seeing that Long Chen ignored her, Tang Waner said again: "If a beautiful woman joins, why don't you agree? Don't you like beautiful women the most?"
"Yes, yes..." Guo Ran joined in the fun and was glared at by Long Chen, who immediately covered his mouth with his hand.
"Our Dragon Blood Legion is a whole, and we are all friends through fate. It is not just who is good at cultivation, who is talented, or who is pretty.
The reason why we are strong is because we are united enough and trust each other enough. If a stranger joins, it will bring danger to the entire legion. How can I let others join easily?" Long Chen whispered.
Seeing Long Chen's serious face, Tang Waner immediately stopped talking, and Guo Ran also quickly shut his mouth. They understood what Long Chen meant.
Although Tang Waner was a bit of a joke before, in fact she was teasing Long Chen on purpose, but she didn't think as much as Long Chen thought. Long Chen couldn't just ignore the safety of the entire Dragon Blood Legion just because he wanted to pick up girls.
An hour later, Han Yunshan and others also came up, but their faces were extremely ugly, they were panting, they were extremely embarrassed, and they were full of anger but did not dare to express it.
Because of Long Chen's ancient times, their hearts were filled with jealousy and resentment. As a result, their path became increasingly difficult to walk, and it took them more time and more energy to get up.
As time went by, disciples climbed up one after another. Some of them relaxed and fainted after climbing up.
As time goes by, more and more people climb up, but more people have been eliminated, because on the Xuantian Ladder, once they lie down and don't move, they will be ejected.
Only more than 30,000 people succeeded, but more than 400,000 people were eliminated, and there are still many people who are still persisting.
"call"
Suddenly a huge hourglass stood on the steps, and Mu Qingxuan said loudly: "There are only three days left. Those who are still on the steps should hurry up."
When they saw the huge hourglass, many people's expressions changed. Because their abilities were limited, they could only slow down. But now that the hourglass came out and the countdown began, their pressure suddenly became even greater."
"Bang bang bang..."
The moment the hourglass appeared, many disciples gave up and lay on the ground and were ejected from the Xuantian Ladder.
This hourglass suddenly shattered the confidence of many people. They felt that there was no hope and there was no point in trying any harder.
One after another, figures were ejected, and now there are only a few hundred thousand people left on the Xuantian Staircase who are still holding on.
Most of these hundreds of thousands of people are around the 800th level, with only a small part at the 700th level. There are even dozens who are struggling to hold on at the 600th level and refuse to give up.
"Idiot, I gave up after seven hundred steps, and they are still holding on stupidly. There is no hope at all." Some people couldn't help but ridicule.
But Long Chen looked at those people who were struggling to support and couldn't help but nodded. Before the result appeared, giving up was equivalent to losing. As long as the result hadn't appeared, the opportunity was always in his hands, even if it was just an illusory thread.
Opportunity and not giving up is a valuable spirit in itself.
"time up"
When the last grain of sand fell from the hourglass, Mu Qingxuan spoke.
