Chapter 684: Reaching the top of the ladder, the academy is shocked
Qingyun Academy was opened, and the demons from the ten realms gathered together. Countless young people began to break through, but tens of thousands of people couldn't even withstand the initial test and flew out with blood vomiting at the mouth.
Nowadays, Gu Chen is riding in the lead, with a strong posture, and disappears in front of everyone in one leap. How can he not shock everyone?
It can be said that the opening of Qingyun Academy this time has attracted more geniuses and evildoers than in the past, because in the not-too-distant future, a battle for hegemony among all races in the 3,600 domains is about to begin!
All the young people in the upper world who are interested in this are gearing up and preparing all the time.
After all, the battle for supremacy among the 3,600 domains and thousands of clans, and the gathering of endless monsters, is so high stakes that it will take a long time to unfold. It contains supreme opportunities and good luck, and can be called the best in the upper world!
It can be said that this is the only opportunity in this life. It is a kind of luck to be born in this era and have the opportunity to participate. No one is willing to miss it!
Therefore, the younger generation in the upper world are trying every means to improve themselves. The opening of Qingyun Academy is a good opportunity, attracting more geniuses and monsters than before to gather here.
But even so, how can it not be shocking that a little-known figure can actually ride ahead of everyone?
"This guy deserves attention!" In Qingyun Academy, there are powerful figures, even Holy Lord level, that is, giant-level figures, communicating with each other.
At this time, Gu Chen was standing at the thousandth step, surrounded by clouds and mist, and he was already at an extremely high altitude.
After he appeared, the Sun God Bird Clan, Chilong Clan, Taotie Clan, Jian Clan, Qingluan Clan and other monsters also appeared here one after another.
Their eyes were all focused on Gu Chen at this moment, with scrutiny and vigilance.
Gu Chen ignored them, but quietly realized that, in fact, this time, he didn't want to be so high-profile, he just thought it would be enough to pass the test.
However, the middle-aged man just now, Yu Xi, an assistant teacher at Qingyun Academy, told him that if he could come out on top in the test, there would be corresponding rewards.
There are even some Taoist temples and monuments inside the academy, places that contain sacred charm. Once they are opened, the academy's senior officials will also consider the top heroes.
After all, even Qingyun Academy's resources are not unlimited. Of course, they must be given priority to the most outstanding heroes and evildoers.
It was precisely because of knowing this news that Gu Chen rose to prominence. Otherwise, he would have been prepared to keep a low profile.
Whoosh!
The next moment, seeing Gu Chen standing still, the Sun Bird, Taotie, Chilong and other monsters all flashed and climbed further up the white jade ladder.
Gu Chen was not in a hurry and did not compete with them. Although he wanted to stand out, he did not want to stand out too much.
Anyway, as long as he can reach the top, Gu Chen doesn't want to fight with Sun Bird and the others.
Whoosh!
The next moment, Gu Chen also took a step and disappeared from the thousandth step.
Behind him, Tuoba Jun looked at Gu Chen's disappearing back. He was speechless for a long time, his mouth wide open, looking dumbfounded.
Soon, deep jealousy emerged in his heart.
"How is it possible, how is it possible, how can a bumpkin be better than me? I don't accept it!" Tuoba Jun looked ugly and roared loudly in his heart, with blazing jealousy burning in his eyes.
He is such a narrow-minded person, and he is arrogant and domineering. When he was in the Tuoba family, he often relied on the family's power to bully others, and he even used cruel methods to deal with good girls on the street many times.
If it weren't for the extraordinary strength of the Tuoba family and his outstanding talent, he would have been hacked to death long ago.
"Wait for me. If you dare to provoke me, after entering the academy, I will let my elder brother cut you into pieces!" Tuoba Jun roared in his heart.
On the side, Tuoba Yu looked at Tuoba Jun, whose face was a little distorted, and felt something bad in her heart. She had already made up her mind that after entering the academy, Tuoba Jun and Gu Chen must not conflict.
On the other side, as time passed, Gu Chen and others soon reached the 5,000th step.
Normally, arriving here is equivalent to successfully passing the test and successfully joining Qingyun Academy.
However, those who can come here first are all monsters at the top of the major realms. They are all determined to reach the top, so naturally they will not give up here.
So, the monster from the Sun God Bird Clan took the lead and arrived at the 5001st step.
Buzz!
In an instant, his body shook, and there was a blazing golden flame burning on the surface of his body. It was actually the true fire of the sun!
This is one of the most powerful methods of the Sun Bird Clan, and it will not be revealed easily.
Now, the expression of the evildoer of the Sun God Bird Tribe changed slightly. He used the Sun Fire completely subconsciously. It was obvious that he encountered some kind of dilemma.
The monster of the Chilong Clan had a proud face. He had a slender figure and extraordinary handsome features. As a dragon, he was born with a sense of nobility. Seeing the appearance of the monster of the Sun God Bird Clan, he walked out without any fear.
.
Immediately, when they reached the 5001st step, the Chilong clan monster couldn't help but tremble.
When the Taotie Clan, Jian Clan, Kuiniu Clan, Qingluan Clan and other monsters saw this, their expressions became a little solemn.
They know that after passing the halfway point on the White Jade Ladder, there will definitely be another unusual test.
Immediately, the next moment, they all stepped forward and walked out.
When Gu Chen arrived at the 5000th staircase, he saw a scene like this. All the monsters were fighting against something on the next staircase.
"It seems there is something more mysterious." Gu Chen's eyes flashed.
He didn't dare to use his clairvoyance. After all, the powerful people and giants from Qingyun Academy were watching secretly. Gu Chen was afraid that he would be discovered when he used his magical powers, which would cause serious problems.
Therefore, he also took a step forward and directly chose to experience it for himself. Anyway, the assessment of Qingyun Academy had never killed anyone, so he was not worried.
Buzz!
Taking this step, it's like entering another world. Not only the pressure on the physical body has increased tenfold compared to before, but also on the mental side!
Yes, on the 5001st step, there was a huge pressure crushing the minds of Gu Chen and others.
You must know that although they are all monsters, they are all in the Cave Heaven Realm after all, and have not yet condensed their souls. Therefore, in terms of mind, it can be said to be the only weakness of this group of monsters that is not a weakness.
Nowadays, the mind is suddenly hit by the majestic pressure, which causes the monsters such as the Sun God Bird Clan and the Chilong Clan to change their expressions and stand still for a long time.
"It seems that this white jade ladder is indeed a rare treasure, at least it has reached the level of a spiritual treasure!" Soon, Gu Chen withstood the pressure and recovered his mind.
After all, before coming, he upgraded the Samsara Seal to the fifth level, which greatly improved his mental strength, which was also the key to his rapid recovery.
Not long after Gu Chen recovered, the Sun God Bird, Chilong Clan and other monsters also recovered one after another.
They looked at each other and continued climbing up.
When they surpassed the six thousandth step, in addition to the dual pressure of physical and mental pressure, Gu Chen and others also had numerous illusions growing before their eyes, tempting them to perish.
If residual jade is used, with its help, all illusions will lose their effectiveness, but that will also lose the meaning of the assessment and become cheating.
If this was during a battle and the enemy used this method, Gu Chen would of course use the residual jade to be immune to the illusion without hesitation.
But now, this is the assessment of Qingyun Academy, so there is no need to do this.
Moreover, the seal of reincarnation is also focused on this way, so no matter how many illusions appear in front of him, Gu Chen deciphers them one by one, and unknowingly, he is at the forefront again.
There was no way, he was actually trying his best to restrain himself, but in the end it was still the case.
When they reached the eight thousandth step, the void flashed, and wind blades, ice, fire, thunder and other forces emerged, and began to attack Gu Chen and others.
At the same time, there was an inexplicable force that immobilized them and locked them in place.
After reaching the top of the ladder, the test becomes more severe.
Even Gu Chen, towards the end, was much slower than before.
Fortunately, before the Qingyun Academy exam, Gu Chen had experienced a huge improvement in all aspects, so no matter how the exam went, there was nothing he could do.
Finally, after surviving eighteen thunderbolts, Gu Chen successfully climbed to the top of the White Jade Ladder.
Although he tried his best to restrain himself, in the end, the Sun God Bird, Chilong Clan and other monsters surpassed him "without any accident" and arrived here before him.
"The light of purification baptizes the physical body and spirit."
Accompanied by a loud sound, a ray of pure white light shone down, shining on the bodies of the Sun God Bird, Chilong Clan and other monsters.
This is also the reward for climbing the White Jade Ladder, which can help Gu Chen and others temper themselves and eliminate various impurities.
After being illuminated by this ray of light, the bodies of the Sun God Bird and other monsters trembled, their eyes narrowed, and they were detached from the outside world. Their bodies and spirits resonated, and they received a kind of refinement.
Gu Chen was naturally the same, but what was special about him was that this state lasted for a short time and ended in just a moment.
"Huh?"
Several whispers came from Qingyun Academy, and those high-level figures were very confused.
"Why did the light of purification lose its effect on this child? The bodies and spirits of others have been baptized and received a lot of help. What happened to this young man named Gu Bai?"
In the academy, all the powerful officials were silent. Even they were curious about the current scene.
At this time, a majestic voice sounded, and a giant spoke, "That's because, in the Cave Heaven Realm, this son has reached the point where his body is flawless and his spirit is perfect, so the light of purification naturally loses its corresponding effect."
"I see."
The great masters of Qingyun Academy were all shocked when they heard this. They never thought that this young man had reached such a level. In this realm, he would surpass the Sun God Bird, Chilong Clan and other outstanding monsters.
"This boy deserves attention." At this time, a voice sounded, it was the dean of Qingyun Academy!
"You actually received the attention of the dean?!" The senior officials of Qingyun Academy were shocked.
Who is the dean of Qingyun Academy? He is an extremely powerful person with a great reputation in the 3,600 realms of the upper world!
Over the long years, the most powerful people have seen countless wizards and monsters. Under such circumstances, the ones that catch their eyes are naturally extremely outstanding and extraordinary.
For a moment, Qingyun Academy was shaken, and many senior officials secretly cast their eyes on Gu Chen, who was climbing the white jade ladder.
The dean of Qingyun Academy can make the dean of Qingyun Academy speak out and say that the number of young people worthy of attention has not been large in all the previous times that Qingyun Academy has been open until now!
Of course, Gu Chen's specialness only attracted a little attention from the dean of Qingyun Academy. It is still impossible to give him some differential treatment or to be accepted as his disciple.
But even so, the senior officials of Qingyun Academy were shocked for a long time, because, judging from the test of the White Jade Ladder, Gu Chen can be said to be the best, surpassing everyone!
Of course, all this happened in secret. Only the senior officials of Qingyun Academy knew about Gu Chen's prominence. No one else knew about it, and no news was spread to the outside world.
At the top of the white jade ladder, Gu Chen didn't know that he was already trying his best to restrain himself, but he still discovered something special.
"The light of purification is ineffective on me?" Gu Chen glanced at the Sun Bird and other monsters in the beam of light. These people were immersed in it and gained a lot of improvement.
"It's a bit of a disadvantage." Gu Chen said to himself, everyone else has been promoted, but he has not changed much.
The so-called purifying light reflected his flesh and spirit, only helped him improve a little, and then disappeared.
"I wonder if Qingyun Academy will give me some other compensation?" Gu Chen actually thought.
Then, he shook his head, feeling ridiculous for his idea.
At this moment, there was movement again at the top of the white jade ladder, but it was a Taoist with a face as beautiful as jade who climbed to the top and arrived here.
This Taoist is none other than the Holy Son of the Wuji Taoist Sect and Gu Chen’s old friend—Zhenyuan!
