One step, two steps, Dugu Chenxi just relied on his hands to condense that little bit of weak yin and yang qi, and slowly moved forward. The pressure exerted on Dugu Chenxi's body by the ladder of climbing the sky is getting bigger and bigger, and the contact between Dugu Chenxi's body and the ground is also pressed more closely.

Dugu Chenxi didn't care about the pain in his body at all, he just looked firmly, waved his arm, and took a step forward, one step further.

Time gradually passed, and the time for a stick of incense was soon halfway there. Everyone on the ladder has begun to slow down, and only a few Dao figures are still walking like flying, including the genius boy Lan Baiwang and Song Tianlong.

In this world, Song Tianlong is not the only smart person, and none of the young disciples who can pass the Tang Sect's recruitment assessment are extremely talented. It's just that most people's way of thinking is very direct, and the stronger the physical fitness, when facing problems, they first use their physical strength to try, and if they can't, they will be willing to use their brains.

Just like the people on this ladder of climbing, most of the disciples of the spiritual void stage are still acceptable to their bodies the moment they step on the ladder of climbing, so no one will think about how to take advantage of it, but just rely on their physical fitness and cultivation to climb.

Even Song Tianlong first took a few steps forward with all his might, but he really had no choice before he began to think about the problem with his heart, and finally he saw through the mystery of the ladder to the sky.

The ladder to the sky is very long, Song Tianlong calculated his distance from the Lingxu Platform, and sighed in his heart, the time limit for this assessment is really not much or less, ordinary martial arts cultivators, on the premise of being able to explore the mysteries of the ladder, is such a climbing speed, and the time for a stick of incense can only be regarded as relatively abundant.

If there is a slight delay in the middle, it is difficult to say whether or not you can climb the Spirit Void Platform.

At the moment, among Song Tianlong and other newcomers, the leader is still Lan Baiwang, this guy must have inside information, and the coercion released by climbing the ladder along the way does not seem to have any effect on him.

Immediately behind Lan Baiwang were two young disciples who had already reached the consummation of the Spiritual Void Period, and the mysteries of ascending the ladder to the heavens would not take a long time for a martial cultivator who had attained the consummation of the Spiritual Void Period.

After that, there were more than a dozen young disciples, including Song Tianlong, among these dozen or so people, except for Song Tianlong, most of the rest of the people were advancing extremely slowly, and on their faces, they all showed expressions of difficulty. Song Tianlong chased all the way, and finally gradually surpassed this group of people.

After these dozen or so people, the other disciples who participated in the assessment have begun to stop the pace of progress one after another, if they simply rely on their own cultivation, it is too difficult to resist the coercion released by the ladder of climbing.

It's just that everyone ignored that the one who was left far behind at the end of the line, and there was a thin figure lying on the ground, that was Dugu Chenxi who was only in the early stage of qi induction, perhaps, the person who still paid attention to Dugu Chenxi in his eyes at this moment, that is, standing in front of the cliff, the Elder Wentian who was known for his iron-faced selflessness.

"When the time for a stick of incense is up, everyone stops advancing, and the second round of assessment is over!" Elder Wentian drank clearly, announcing the end of the second round of assessment of the Tang Sect Recruitment Ceremony.

"In the assessment of climbing the ladder, there are a total of eight disciples who successfully ascended the Lingxu Stage, namely Lan Baiwang, Xiao Jingxuan, Tang Jing, Song Tianlong, Tu Ziqing, Liao Qiongbi, Chen Yumo, and Wang Gang. Congratulations to these eight disciples for skipping the third round of actual combat assessment and directly entering my Tang Sect!"

Song Tianlong looked at the other seven disciples who were standing on the Lingxu Platform with him, and to his surprise, half of them were women. Among the disciples who had arrived at the Spirit Void Stage before him, the woman named Tang Jing, Song Tianlong, had noticed from the beginning that she was one of the two disciples whose cultivation had reached the consummation of the Spirit Void Stage.

Among the four disciples who were a few steps slower than Song Tianlong, Tu Ziqing, Liao Qiongbi, and Chen Yumo were all young women. Come to think of it, men like to rely on their fists, but women's thinking will turn faster. Song Tianlong sighed slightly in his heart.

On the Lingxu platform, everyone has successfully entered the Tang Sect, and in the future, they will be brothers and sisters of the same sect who have cultivated and progressed together, so everyone greeted each other casually.

However, Lan Baiwang looked at Song Tianlong, still with an unhappy face: "Yo! I really can't imagine that you, a small foundation builder, were actually put on the Spirit Void Platform by you." ”

"Little brother, I'm five years older than you, if you want to say small, you are really laughing. Song Tianlong said with a smile, facing a ten-year-old child, he really couldn't be interested in bothering with it.

"Hmph!" Unexpectedly, Lan Baiwang refused to let go of the entanglement of Song Tianlong, and snorted coldly: "In the world of martial arts, the strong are respected, and whoever has a big fist is big!"

"Oh?" In the face of Lan Baiwang's aggressiveness, Song Tianlong was also angry, "The fist is not big, you will know until you have fought it." ”

"Okay, okay, no matter what you say, everyone is the same brother and brother, don't make it unpleasant at this time, right? Song Tianlong looked at it when he heard the sound, but he was a short and fat young man, a little older, about seventeen or eighteen years old, and he played a round with a kind face. It was the last disciple who successfully ascended the Lingxu Platform called Wang Gang.

"What kind of thing are you, dare to compare with the master here!" That Lan Baiwang may have been spoiled by the people in the family, and he didn't show any mercy in the face of Wang Gang, who was also a cultivator in the early stage of the Spirit Void.

"Then am I qualified to shut you up?" Lan Baiwang's arrogant attitude finally made everyone unbearable, and at this time, it was the cold young man who had already reached the consummation realm of the spiritual void period, Xiao Jingxuan.

Xiao Jingxuan released his coercion towards Lan Baiwang, making Lan Baiwang's face stiffen, although his expression was still unconvinced, he finally closed his mouth and stopped talking.

The way of cultivating martial arts, the strong are respectful, and what Lan Baiwang said is not wrong. Therefore, in the face of Xiao Jingxuan, whose cultivation realm was two levels higher than himself, Lan Baiwang finally chose to shut up.

"Song Tianlong, you wait for me!" Lan Baiwang glared at Song Tianlong fiercely, Xiao Jingxuan didn't dare to provoke him, but Song Tianlong he wouldn't let it go easily.

Faced with Lan Baiwang's provocation, Song Tianlong smiled faintly and ignored it directly.

"I declare that in addition to the eight disciples on the Spiritual Void Platform, the disciples who have not ascended the Spiritual Void Platform will consciously rank according to their own ranks, and the ninety-two will be listed, please come to me. The rest of the disciples, retreat down the ladder to the sky, stay here, and they will be brought out of the mountain by someone from my Tang Sect. "Not to mention the Lingxu platform, Lan Baiwang has all kinds of provocations against Song Tianlong. But when he said that he was back at the bottom of the ladder to the sky, Elder Wentian was announcing the candidates for the third round of assessment.

"In addition, there are candidates who can participate in the third round of assessment, Dugu Chenxi!"

Elder Wentian's last words caused many young disciples who were preparing to leave the scene to be in an uproar again. At this time, everyone noticed that there was a lonely figure who was left at the end of the entire ladder to the sky. It was Dugu Chenxi, as if he didn't know the passage of time, still waving his arms and climbing towards the top of the ladder step by step.

Dugu Chenxi's clothes were worn out by the stone slabs of the ladder, and his hands were also scratched out of blood because he was grasping the floor, and his body that was pressed against the ground by the pressure of the ladder had already been deformed.

Everyone was moved, but Dugu Chenxi on the ladder to the sky still waved his arms and climbed up step by step, as if he hadn't heard Elder Wentian's words. His body has long been numb, and his hands seem to be just waving mechanically, but Dugu Chenxi's eyes are staring at the Lingxu Platform far away, firm, and unyielding!

"Stop, your body won't be able to stand it. Song Tianlong stood on the high platform and shouted at Dugu Chenxi from afar.

The other young disciples also shouted at Dugu Chenxi: "Yes, yes, the assessment is over, brother, don't be reluctant." ”

"Elder Wentian has made an exception to let you enter the next round of assessment, you can stop. ”

......

Dugu Chenxi ignored everyone's shouts, still waving his arms numbly, slowly, hard, and continued to move forward.

"Okay, stop!" Seeing that Dugu Chenxi still refused to stop, Elder Wentian finally left. I didn't see what Elder Wentian did, but his figure flashed like this, and he came to Dugu Chenxi. "Stop, and your foundation will be affected. That's a lifetime of damage to you. Elder Wentian sighed lightly, looking at Dugu Chenxi's eyes full of pity.

"Elder......" Dugu Chenxi's eyes finally moved, he reluctantly raised his head to look at Elder Wentian, his voice was weak and hoarse, "I understand what the elder said, I just ...... I just don't want to be the last ......."

Dugu Chenxi's words made the always indifferent Elder Wentian couldn't help but be moved, this is Dugu Chenxi's character, knowing that he could not stand on the spiritual void platform, and he also knew that he could not enter the top 100, but he still worked hard, just to keep himself from being the last one!

It was precisely because of Dugu Chenxi's persistence that he climbed out of his own achievements with both hands on the ladder, and it was precisely because of his unyielding spirit that Elder Wentian, who wanted to be unsympathetic, made an exception for Dugu Chenxi to enter the third round of assessment.

This is the glory that belongs to Dugu Chenxi, whether he can enter the Tang Gate or not, his attitude is worthy of everyone's affirmation.

Apart from......

"Ask Elder Heaven. Lan Baiwang, who was far away on the high platform, once again made a discordant voice, "Obviously, the rules are set for the top hundred, but the elder is so partial to this Dugu Chenxi, I'm afraid it's unfair to everyone else!"

"Hmph!" In the face of Lan Baiwang's questioning, Elder Wentian's expression remained unchanged, and he just replied lightly: "Among you, if anyone thinks that he can advance such a long distance in the ladder of climbing the ladder with the same realm cultivation as Dugu Chenxi, then I can also make an exception for him again!"

Elder Wentian's answer made everyone silent, yes, who can have the courage to challenge the ladder of climbing the sky at the beginning of qi induction? Looking at Dugu Chenxi's scars that were ground into flesh and blood, it was really shocking.

"However, Ask Elder Tian, the disciple still has something unclear. Lan Baiwang clenched his fists, he just couldn't get used to Song Tianlong and Dugu Chenxi, obviously he was extremely talented, and he was robbed of the limelight by Song Tianlong and Dugu Chenxi in the first round.

In the second round, it was obviously the first time he successfully boarded the Lingxu Stage, but everyone's eyes were still on Song Tianlong and Dugu Chenxi, which made Lan Baiwang, a child who had received the attention and attention of the people around him since he was a child, really unacceptable!

"Not to mention whether Dugu Chenxi's physical state at this time can still participate in the third round of actual combat assessment, just saying that he is a martial artist in the early stage of qi induction, how can he compare with our spiritual void period, whether he is promoted or not, the result is the same. What's the point of an elder making an exception for such a person at this time?"

"Yes, yes......" Lan Baiwang's words were actually not unreasonable, so that everyone present also nodded in agreement, everyone admired Dugu Chenxi's persistence, but they also understood that no matter whether Dugu Chenxi could enter the third round of assessment or not, the result would be eliminated.

If it is said that Elder Wentian cherishes talents, then he can directly say that he can make an exception and let Dugu Chenxi enter the Tang Sect, or accept Dugu Chenxi as a disciple, there is no need to do anything more than just let Dugu Chenxi pass the assessment.

"Really, I haven't figured out what Elder Wentian's purpose is in doing this?" The young disciples present were discussing, and everyone looked at Elder Wentian.

"As the assessment elder of this recruitment ceremony, the old man is only responsible for judging whether your results are qualified. Elder Wentian naturally knew what everyone was wondering about, so he said slowly, "Dugu Chenxi, outstanding performance, in my opinion, satisfied the results of the second round of assessment." As for any of you who can enter the Tang Gate, you can only rely on your own efforts, and I will not interfere with this. ”

After Elder Wentian finished speaking, he turned his head to look at Dugu Chenxi again, and sighed slightly: "Dugu Chenxi, although the old man admires you very much, the old man still can't break the rules. Do you understand?"

"Yes, the disciple understands. At this time, Dugu Chenxi had already retreated from the ladder, although he was dirty, no one would look down on him because of this. I saw Dugu Chenxi bow deeply towards Elder Wentian and said seriously, "Thank you Elder Wentian." ”

"Okay, it's best if you can understand......" Seeing that Dugu Chen's face was wrong, Elder Wentian also showed a look of relief.

So Elder Wentian turned around and said to everyone, "All the disciples who have entered the third round of assessment will follow me to the martial arts arena, you eight. Elder Wentian also shouted to Song Tianlong and the others on the Lingxu platform, "You eight, stay where you are, and your senior brothers and sisters will come to settle down." ”

"Elder, the disciple has something to ask for~" Just as Elder Wentian was about to turn around and leave with Dugu Chenxi and the others, who had entered the third round of assessment, Song Tianlong, who had been silent, shouted at Elder Wentian from a distance, and ran down the ladder from the Lingxu platform.
