Chapter 27 Ascending the Ladder
After the first day of the talent test, a total of 996 people finally passed the test, of which 10 people lit up five orbs, two people lit up six orbs, only Ye Feng lit up seven orbs, and the rest were all spiritual cultivation that lit up four orbs.
With Murong Xuan starting from the Murong family early, Ye Feng became the focus of attention standing at the bottom of the ladder of the Tianfeng Academy at this moment, not to mention his previous astonishing move of lighting up the seven spiritual power orbs, just by virtue of Murong Xuan, who was standing behind him and holding Ye Feng's arm, he also attracted everyone's attention.
"Little prince, the news of that Ye Feng has been found, and he is the son of the head of the Ye family in Jiang Ducheng. A young man standing behind Ning Hao in an imperial official uniform said.
"The children of a small family actually dare to drive on my head, and they are so close to this woman Murong Xuan, it is really a long idle life. After Ning Hao heard this, he unceremoniously cast a threatening glance at Ye Feng.
The Aura Continent does not know when it has built buildings similar to the ladder in various parts of the continent to test the strength of spiritual cultivation, and Tianfeng City is no exception to set up a ladder with nine thousand steps on the left side of the city, and there is a stone tablet at the bottom of the ladder, with four big characters of "Twenty-nine Ladders" written on it.
The nine hundred and ninety-six spiritual cultivators who had passed the first round of testing were all standing at the bottom of the ladder at this moment, looking up and not being able to see the top.
"Quiet!" Ning Tianci stood in the air, looked around the square, and said in an unquestionable tone, "There are only less than a thousand spiritual cultivators who have passed the first level test this time, and this is the worst class of my Tianfeng Academy in the past, so this second level only goes to the top 100 to directly join Tianfeng Academy." β
Ning Tianci's words reached the ears of all the people who participated in the test spirituality, some people were happy and some were worried, they were happy about the spirituality of those poor families who were not strong enough to fight, and most of the people who were worried were the children of those princes and nobles, they relied on their family power, and they could almost be armed to the teeth, I thought that it was very simple to enter the top eight hundred in the second level this time, as long as they defeated the opponent in the third level of the battle, but now this second level directly determines the fate, and all external forces are useless.
"Brother Ye, let's compete to see who climbs higher. β
Liu Yishui looked at most of the monks who had already begun to climb the ladder, and was not in a hurry, and challenged Ye Feng.
"Good!"
Looking at Liu Yishui, who was a little hostile to himself but deliberately hidden, Ye Feng couldn't guess what he was thinking for a while, so he casually responded and climbed up to the top of the ladder.
Each thousand steps of the ladder corresponds to the potential of spiritual cultivation, and the number of steps that can be climbed in the same cultivation realm is not the same because of one's own talent, physical fitness, willpower, etc., some may only be able to climb a thousand steps, while others can climb thousands of steps.
Most of the spiritual cultivators who participated in the competition could no longer bear the pressure of the ladder when they climbed about 3,000 steps, and one by one they panted and looked at those spiritual cultivators who still had the strength to climb upward, their eyes full of envy and jealousy.
Ning Hao, who failed to reach the top in the talent test yesterday, was riveting his strength at the moment, desperately climbing upward, wanting to prove that he was the most powerful of the new recruits of Tianfeng Academy at this second level, and at this moment he had left everyone far behind, climbing five thousand six hundred steps, but the upward speed gradually slowed down, and it took great effort to climb each level.
Ye Feng walked up step by step without hurrying, as if he didn't feel the slightest pressure, and as time went by, he gradually left most of the monks behind, and he had already climbed five thousand steps, and only a few people were left on top of them, Ning Hao, Tang Wan, Xu Shaopeng, Huang Ming, and Liu Yishui.
Unlike Ning Hao and the others, Ye Feng only has the strength of a nine-star spirit master, and they all have the strength of a spirit master, among which Ning Hao is already a nine-star peak spirit master, but fortunately, the competition on the ladder is not the level of spiritual power cultivation.
is also the cultivation of the spiritual master, at this moment it can be clearly seen that Tang Wan, who is a woman, is not as good as a male spiritual cultivator when climbing the ladder; she has gradually shown fatigue, staying at the 5,800 steps has already had a stick of incense, and has never been able to take another step upwards, Huang Ming is stuck at 5,910 steps, Xu Shaopeng can climb the 6,000 steps, and Liu Yishui's performance is surprising, it has reached 6,100 steps, as for Ning Hao, he deserves the title of the first person in Tianfeng City, and has reached 6,300 stepsγ
Liu Yishui, who stopped at the six thousand and one thousand steps, looked back at Ye Feng, who was still more than five thousand steps, pursed his lips disdainfully, and raised his middle finger defiantly.
In the process of climbing, Ye Feng found that every time he went up to the next level, there would be subtle changes in the tendons, and there seemed to be an unknown force guiding the tendons to accumulate more spiritual power, and every hundred levels this feeling would be more obvious, and every thousand levels he could clearly feel that the tendons and veins were wider than the original, and there was more spiritual power that could be absorbed.
"Looks like we're going to have to pick things up. Looking up, the figures of Liu Yishui and Ning Hao were hidden in the clouds and mist, and they couldn't see it very clearly.
When Ye Feng, who suddenly increased his speed, passed by Tang Wan, Huang Ming, Xu Shaopeng, and Liu Yishui, the four of them seemed to be looking at monsters, and Ye Feng, who was more than a thousand levels behind just now, actually did not pause at all, and instantly surpassed himself, looking at his state, it seemed that he still had some strength left.
"You, you ......"
Ning Hao, who was sitting on the six thousand four hundred and ninety steps, was speechless in surprise when he saw Ye Feng surpassing him, he thought that he was not far from the original record of the emperor, but he didn't expect that Ye Feng was not only stronger than himself in the talent test, but at this moment, he actually surpassed himself again when he climbed the ladder, the hatred in Ning Hao's heart became more and more intense, looking at Ye Feng's back that had gone away, and pounded the ground angrily.
"Boy, don't stop, keep climbing. Seeing that Ye Feng had climbed the seven thousand steps and was not ready to continue upward, Yu Lao's voice reached Ye Feng's ears.
"Uh, didn't you want me not to be too conspicuous before, why are you letting me continue now?" Ye Feng asked suspiciously.
"Hehe, at this time and that time, the ladder is rumored to be cast by a great power, there are a total of 8,000 in the Spiritual Qi Continent, and any spiritual cultivator who can climb the 8,000-step ladder will get a creation, if you can reach the top, there will be an unexpected situation, so boy, you still try your best to climb!"
When Ye Feng went up step by step, everyone under the ladder was already speechless in surprise, Murong Xuan covered his cherry mouth, his eyes bloomed with abnormal colors, and he looked at Ye Feng who was still climbing up in disbelief.
Gradually, when Ning Hao finally stopped at six thousand five hundred and six steps, and was no longer able to go up, only Ye Feng was left on the ladder at this time.
Ye Feng, who was on the 7,990-step ladder, had bulging muscles all over his body, his whole body was soaked with sweat, his eyes revealed infinite battle intent, and he shouted, and finally came to the 8,000-step ladder;
A majestic aura rushed into Ye Feng's veins from the outside world, and the spiritual power in his body was instantly filled, but this endless stream of spiritual power was still pouring in, and it was already about to burst Ye Feng, with a loud bang, the barrier of the spiritual warrior was easily broken through by this infinite spiritual power, and Ye Feng broke through.
Because of the breakthrough, Ye Feng used his spiritual power, and his final result stayed at the eight thousand level.
As Ye Feng returned to the ground, the record on the stone tablet on the side of the ladder was refreshed, and at this moment, the first person in the Heavenly Phoenix Empire to ascend the ladder left Ye Feng's name.
"Brother Kaede, you surprised my sister again. β
After seeing Ye Feng come down, Murong Xuan affectionately held Ye Feng's arm, not caring at all about the fact that there were almost all the forces of the Heavenly Wind Empire around him.
Being held by Murong Xuan's arm, the fragrance coming out of his body made Ye Feng's body, which had been tense, involuntarily soften, and gently pushed it away in embarrassment.
With the end of the second level, the hundred students recruited by Tianfeng Academy were finally determined, and Vice Dean Ning Tianci came to Ye Feng's side with some excitement, and said a few good words in a row, and then announced that all the academies who had passed the test would immediately enter Tianfeng students.
Looking at Ye Feng's departing figure, Murong Xuan gradually felt inexplicable feelings in his heart, which seemed to be more than just the feelings between sisters and brothers.
It was only at this moment that Ye Feng saw the true face of Tianfeng Academy's Lushan, passing through a passage several hundred meters long, a nine-story hall stood in front of him, and there was a huge square in front of the main hall.
There are no less than 1,000 houses around the square, which are neatly arranged in five layers.
"Alright, you guys are here later, and a new mentor will come and arrange a place for you to stay in a moment. After taking Ye Feng and the others to the center of the square, Ning Tianci left a sentence and left.
"Little prince, I am the son of the city lord of Taicang City, Cangwu. Ning Tianci left with his front foot, and a student came to Ning Hao's side and greeted him flatteringly.
Looking at this spiritual cultivator named Cangwu, Ning Hao's eyes showed a trace of cunning that was not easy to understand, and he responded with a smile: "Young Master Cang, you're polite, we are all children of the empire, and we will be close to each other in the future." β
"By the way, Ye Gongzi, I heard that you are the son of the Ye family in Jiang Capital City?"
Asked by Ning Hao, Ye Feng nodded in acquiescence.
"Hmph, what about the little prince asking you, a little family disciple, is so bold!" Seeing that Ye Feng just nodded slightly, Cang Wu immediately rushed to the front and pointed at Ye Feng and scolded loudly.
"All stand up. A young woman dressed very sensually and separatingly came to the crowd, brandished her whip, and slammed it in front of Cangwu.
