Volume 1: A Trip to Huainan Chapter 11: On the Cloud Ladder

"It's ......"

That's when it happened. Zhou Yusheng felt a burning sensation coming from his arm, and at the same time, he faintly felt some kind of inexplicable summoning, coming from a distant place.

"The second level of the trial of Tianlan Academy: Climbing the ladder, a total of 2,909 steps, don't be in a hurry, be strong and competitive, regardless of time, anyone who climbs the ladder can open the third item of the trial: the spirit vein. ”

The mighty voice, like someone close to your ear whispering to you, does not seem to come from afar, but more like a voice from the depths of your heart.

As soon as his mind moved, he immediately thought that the people above should also pay attention to this competition to Tianlan Academy, and the next moment, in the sky where the sun was rising, a phantom of the school suddenly appeared.

Although far away, the huge palace phantom seemed to descend between the clouds and mist, lying majestically in the air, and anyone who glanced at it could sense a strong sense of oppression.

Zhou Yusheng stood at the bottom of the staircase to the sky for a long time in shock, and then immediately felt the sense of summoning coming from his arm becoming more and more intense, and the source of the summoning was the phantom named Tianlan.

And in other people on the different steps, many of them also perceived the vision in the sky at the same time.

"Looks like someone has arrived. Immediately he withdrew his gaze, and soon calmed himself from the majestic palace phantom, and turned his head towards the staircase that led to the mist.

At this moment, a bell sounded, and from the high spire, the same frequency was constantly spread to all parts of Huainan, and all the sounds were silent, but the sound of the bell was vibrating continuously in the ears alone, as if it could hit the soul directly, enough to make anyone compromise its solemnity.

"Zhou Jiannan, now twelve years old, the royal family of the Great Jin Dynasty, is now the crown prince, and entered the Tianlan Courtyard. ”

He looked up, his eyes narrowed slightly.

I saw that with the long and long sound on the high spire resounding from Huainan, at such a close distance, the phantom of Tianlan Courtyard also became clear.

The majestic palace of more than 100 zhang high is quietly suspended in the air of more than 100 zhang, the tower is quite beautiful, the brocade water contains chapters, the towering school, better than the light.

Zhou Yusheng looked at this palace for a long time before he came back to his senses with a light breath and glanced around.

And directly below the phantom of the palace, a road that is also hidden in the fog, and it is not easy to see the road under your feet, and it extends down through the light curtain from the palace gate, which should be the only entrance to Tianlan Courtyard.

Zhou Yusheng glanced at the staircase, did not go over immediately, but looked at the white light curtain outside, and thought for a long time recalling the rules of the trial.

"I'm afraid this ladder is also the same as the nature of heavy water just now, it should be that every step is taken, the weight to bear will be different, and it is indeed easy to kill yourself if you are strong and competitive, but at the end of this more than 1,000 steps, how much weight will it bear. Zhou Yusheng secretly slandered in his heart, looking at the high spire standing at the top, a little hesitant.

Zhou Yusheng is not sure about the strength he can bear, and naturally he doesn't dare to leave others behind for too long, although there is no time limit, but it is always good to climb the ladder one step earlier.

After a few more moments, he moved and walked towards the first staircase.

As a result, when he stepped onto the first step of the stairs, he suddenly felt as if he was stuck in a quagmire, and at the same time, an invisible force tore his body left and right, trying to force him out of the stairs.

"Sure enough......" Zhou Yusheng felt the impact of the ladder on his body and smiled slightly.

The forbidden power above this ladder is, in general, an invisible force field. For them, the contestants, there is only direct confrontation through the flesh.

In this way, Zhou Yusheng blew his clenched fists, his eyes changed and walked up step by step, relying on the secret method of Shaolin's unique Heart Sutra and reaction speed, in less than a moment, he easily crossed hundreds of steps.

However, as the stairs climbed higher and higher, the layer of white clouds floating under his feet became thicker and thicker, and the pulling force on his body gradually became huge and began to twist.

At the moment when he broke through the limit of the physical body further, it was still a huge force that pushed backwards, but with the strength of the physical body alone, it was estimated that it would be difficult to cross a few layers before it stopped.

Immediately running the Xuanlong Nine Turns, the gossip unloaded the surging force, and this huge force suddenly changed its direction and pushed it from back to front, and when Zhou Yusheng adjusted the balance of the power to deal with it, the giant force immediately changed its direction again.

After passing a thousand steps, this obstacle became more and more obvious, and it seemed that every ten steps, the power of the prohibition would increase by three points, and the speed of change would be more unpredictable.

Even if Zhou Yusheng relied on Shaolin's unique powerful body, after passing the thousand-level, he also felt a little embarrassed.

At this moment, his eyes glanced ahead and fell on the young man who was less than a hundred steps in front of him.

Zhou Yusheng recognized it at a glance, it was the only applicant from the cold door who had just broken through the heavy water, Zhou Xiao.

It's just that now, his torn clothes, full of shocking scars, knelt there, as if he was supporting the rejection of the forbidden force, but the scar on his body that obviously fell not long ago made Zhou Yusheng more sure that Zhou Xiao may have been victimized when he climbed the ladder.

However, when Zhou Yusheng reached the ladder that was gradually approaching the young man, an inexplicable repulsive force that was not from the ladder seemed to increase several times in vain, but seeing that his whole body trembled, the green tendons on his forehead burst out, and his eyes were red, but the spell in his mouth still continued, and the torn clothes actually swelled several times in front of Zhou Yusheng, turning into rags and scattering down.

I saw him look at Zhou Yusheng coldly, the instinctive protection of himself, like a frightened hedgehog will curl up to protect himself, not to mention a character who can stand out with his status as a cold man.

Zhou Yusheng was stunned by those eyes, and he couldn't even imagine what kind of miserable childhood he had experienced that could make those terrifying eyes look full of murderous intent.

"Are you alright? Panting and walking to the same steps as Zhou Xiao, Zhou Yusheng stretched out his hand to see the injuries on the young man's body, but the young man mercilessly slapped off the palm of his outstretched hand.

"Don't cry and fake mercy, you royal children don't have a good thing, you deserve to die. He looked at him coldly, and did not hide the cruelty and coldness in his heart. This indifferent and merciless gaze is chilling.

Not far behind Zhou Yusheng, the contestants who were disturbed by the force of repulsion could no longer support for a moment, and directly rushed down with that terrifying aura, and their bodies flew up like sandbags, bounced out into the distance, and fell heavily into the open space not far away.

"This is the Blood Transformation Pill! Although it is a mortal medicinal material, the injuries on your body, since they are only external injuries, this Blood Transformation Pill is estimated to be quite useful to you. ”

Zhou Yusheng didn't have a hot face to stick to the cold buttocks, and with a twist of words, he took out a round pill from his pocket and handed it to Zhou Xiao.

Without waiting for him to say anything, he continued to walk towards the stairs ahead.

Zhou Xiao was stunned in place, touching the blood transformation pill that still had the residual warmth in his palm, and suddenly the hideous and distorted face flashed with a smile.

"If you don't believe me, you can lose it. ”

Zhou Yusheng glanced at Zhou Xiao lightly, for fear that he would have doubts about the Blood Transformation Pill because of his suspicious nature, but after all, the injuries on his body were his own business, and he couldn't force it, so he couldn't help but shake his head secretly.

Just as Zhou Yusheng's back gradually moved away from the young man's sight, the young man struggled to get up, his face was as pale as paper, and he immediately took the Blood Transformation Pill, and crossed his knees on the spot to breathe.

"Chu Shuhan, now twelve years old, the lord of Daqi, entered Tianlan Courtyard. ”

Another bell rang out with the light on the high spire, and the girl's name made Zhou Yusheng stand alone and look into the distance, slightly shaken.

"Zhou Yusheng! Zhou Yusheng, if you haven't walked a thousand times, you have walked a ladder a hundred times. ”

Just when Zhou Yusheng was secretly distressed, less than a hundred steps away from Tianlan Courtyard, a young man was already sweating like rain, his body was already a little shaky, and his expression was scattered, trying to rely on brute force to continue climbing, but his body shook, he screamed suddenly, and fell to the side crookedly, but as soon as his body touched the stairs, he was directly blown out of the stairs.

"Third brother!" The young man who led the way was crying silently at first, then turned his head and smiled at the young man who looked at him coldly, and let out a sneer at the same time.

"Useless stuff!"

It was the three brothers of the Guo family.

Less than 800 steps away from Tianlan Courtyard, Zhou Yusheng had exhausted all his strength and finally climbed here.

But he stopped at the limit without hesitation, and Zhou Yusheng smiled bitterly in his heart, is it really too reluctant

But what he doesn't know is that the reason why the poor family is sad to pass this level is that everyone is not only competing in this level of physical strength, but also the superiority of family background.

A person who was born in a good family, for the magic weapons and medicinal materials for the temporary improvement of the physical body, he had prepared them well before entering Tianlan Courtyard.

At this moment, the purple sparrow, which had been silent for a long time, suddenly burst out with a slight sword intent, which shocked the person who raised the sheath.

"Tranquility and distance. ”

After a circle, a silver sword like autumn water suddenly crossed in front of him.

Zhou Yusheng touched the purple finch that had not been pulled out since Shaolin, and every word that the sweeping monk said, at the same time, his body also exuded a burst of fierce sword energy.

After a flash of silver light, the Qingmeng sword light covered his body at once.

Immediately, the explosion sounded loudly, and a silver-white sword shadow several feet long wrapped Zhou Yusheng, and rushed directly up the stairs in a flash.
