Chapter 677: Step on the Ladder to Heaven

This assessment is very simple, you only need to go to the college's bridge of conscience.

This is why the third assessment is so close to the second assessment.

Thirty-six people who passed two assessments in a row were brought to the Wenxin Bridge, and Wang Qiubai, who was taken away before, was also among them.

Originally, her behavior of attacking other candidates was extremely bad, and she was going to be disqualified from the assessment, and she was so arrogant before she entered the college, and she still had to enter the college?

But in the elder group of the academy, the three elders are just from the Wang family, and he also dragged Xue Yu in, "It is not right for Wang Qiubai to attack other candidates, but Xue Qiubai's means of counterattacking are too much, if it weren't for Wang Qiubai wearing a defensive magic weapon, I am afraid that he would die on the spot, this kind of vicious student, the academy can't afford it." ”

Elder Wang calculated that the dean valued Xue Wu and would not want to see Xue Wu disqualified from the assessment.

These words made Wei Ziping angry, "Feelings only allow Wang Qiubai to attack, not Xue Wu to fight back?" Xue Wu should just stand there honestly and let Wang Qiubai attack, it's not ruthless, right? ”

Elder Wang didn't answer, but the expression on his face was clear and he acknowledged.

Wei Ziping rolled up his sleeves and was about to go up to have a good battle with him, but was stopped by the second elder, "Don't hurt the harmony for the sake of the two candidates, let's discuss it well." ”

Wei Ziping: "What else is there to discuss?" Lao Xiao, you, the dean, watched your apprentice being bullied? ”

Elder Wang: "Great Elder, what you said is not right, what does it mean to be bullied?" Who had bullied that Xue Wu? ”

Seeing that the two parties were about to quarrel again, Xiao Shengtian finally spoke, "Let's take an extra test, whoever passes can continue to participate in the assessment, if you can't pass, then you will be disqualified from the assessment, and you will not be allowed to sign up for it again for three years." ”

Wei Ziping and Elder Wang glanced at each other, and then they each snorted angrily and turned their eyes away.

Neither of them spoke, and the matter was settled.

As for the content of the additional test, several people present discussed it, and Elder Wang proposed to assess alchemy from Wang Qiubai's own advantages, what he thought was that since Xue Wu was a civilian, he naturally couldn't get in touch with the money-burning skill of alchemy, let alone alchemy, it is estimated that he had not even touched the alchemy furnace.

Compared with Wang Qiubai, he has a better chance of winning.

Although Xiao Shengtian was very optimistic about Xue Wu, and even had the idea of taking her as an apprentice, he couldn't openly stand on her side at this moment, so Wei Ziping, who was an old friend, came out to speak.

"Elder Wang, don't be too selfish with your selfishness, knowing that Wang Qiubai is better at alchemy, and deliberately proposing this kind of competition method, it is clearly deliberately biased in favor of her. According to me, it's better to compare than someone who is not good at either of them, so that you can see the level of the two. ”

The two sides quarreled again.

It seems that there is a dispute over the content of the competition between Wang Qiubai and Xue Wu, but in fact, the family faction represented by the Wang family and the dean's faction are fighting in the ring.

Although Xiao Shengtian was born in a family, he did not belong to the family faction, and since he became the dean, he has been adhering to the concept of the academy, teaching without class, facing everyone, and must be fair and just, while the family faction wants to turn the academy into its own private academy and train children for them.

The two philosophies often collide.

And because the external resources are mostly held by the family, the family and the family are married, the probability of the offspring having spiritual roots and talent is much higher than that of the commoners, and most of the qualified civilians are also collected by the family, resulting in most of the students who enter the academy from the family, or have taken refuge in the family.

There are fewer and fewer high-level people from civilian backgrounds in the academy, and the family faction has more and more power.

Elder Wang wants to take advantage of this incident between Wang Qiubai and Xue Wu to once again strengthen the discourse power of the family faction, as for which of the two is right and who is wrong, it doesn't matter, in short, Wang Qiubai, who was born in a family, must not be defeated in the confrontation with Xue Wu, a commoner!

Xiao Shengtian didn't want to waste time continuing to argue, "Let them go to the second floor of the Tower of Babel to break through, if they can go above level 100, they will be considered to pass." ”

The trial project on the second floor of the Tower of Babel is the ladder of Babel, and the ladder of Babel is also a gravitational field, the higher the steps, the higher the gravity coefficient, the more difficult it is for people to step on, in addition, there is also a kind of phantom flower planted on both sides of the Babel Ladder, the fragrance of this flower, pollen and even the color have a strong hallucinogenic effect.

And once you fall into the illusion, it is even more difficult to go up.

Many people in the academy have come to this level for trials, but so far, none of them have successfully reached the top, and the best result is only six hundred and fifty-eight steps.

Although the Tower of Babel is in the academy, it does not belong to the academy, nor does it belong to any force in the spirit world, it has only existed there since ancient times, and all the testing grounds in the tower have their own operating rules and cannot be controlled by outsiders.

As for the control room on the first floor, it was not so much a control room, but a small authority that countless ancestors of the academy had grinded from the Tower of Babel for their descendants, and they could only watch from the sidelines, but they could not interfere.

No one can interfere, and the results of the competition can reflect the fairness to the greatest extent.

Elder Wang thought of Xue Yu's reaction when he encountered that gravity field swamp in the Eternal Labyrinth, it was obviously the first time he encountered it, but Wang Qiubai had already seen it, and even often trained in the gravity field arranged by the Wang family.

So this competition is obviously more beneficial to Wang Qiubai.

So he agreed.

While the others were still looking for an exit in the labyrinth, Xue Wu and Wang Qiubai entered the Tower of Babel once again for an additional test.

The ladder to heaven, worthy of its word "to the sky", standing on the lowest floor, you can't see its end at all, as if it really connects to the sky.

Wang Qiubai glanced at Xue Wu, his eyes were contemptuous, and with a sense of superiority, he stepped on the ladder to heaven first.

Xue Wu didn't rush to step on it, but looked around.

The steps of the ladder are carved out of jade, transparent and flawless, the ice is clear and jade, and the figure can be clearly illuminated, and a kind of lilac flower is planted on both sides of the ladder, which continues up with the steps, like a flower belt falling down from the sky.

The flower exudes a faint fragrance, and the smell is refreshing.

Other than that, there's not much else to see here.

Xue Wu took out a Qingshen Pill and put it in her mouth, and stepped on the first step of the ladder to heaven.

As soon as she stepped on it, she felt a heavy oppressive force, her shoulders seemed to press a mountain, and her body was pressed down a little.

This is just the first step, the pressure is already so great, the higher you go, the more pressure will only be, let alone climbing the stairs, I'm afraid it will be difficult to move.

On the other hand, Wang Qiubai has already climbed more than a dozen steps.

While her body was under tremendous pressure, Xue Wu also had an illusion in front of her eyes, which was a soft bed, which looked like she was sleeping well, and there were delicious melons and fruits next to it.

There was a cool taste from the Qingshen Pill in her mouth, which cleared her mind, and the illusion of that scene instantly dissipated in front of her eyes.

In fact, even if there is no Qingshen Pill, this simple illusion can't confuse her, but it still takes a little effort to struggle out.

And when climbing the steps, it's better not to be distracted.
