Chapter 9: Ascending to the Heavens

On the top of the ladder, a group of teenagers walked slowly. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The handsome teenager walked in the front, and not far behind him were the rest of the teenagers who had given up their direct admission qualifications.

By now, they have felt the pressure clearly. The pressure was not just on the body, but it was like acting directly on the soul through their body.

Every time they went up the next level, they felt as if something had hit their brains, bringing a sense of dizziness.

Although this did not cause much hindrance to them at present, the teenagers clearly knew that they had only walked more than a hundred steps. This ladder goes straight into the sky, and I don't know how many steps there are. If it goes on like this, it won't be long before they can't hold on.

The handsome young man moved slowly with a gloomy face.

He already felt that something was wrong, and if he went on like this, let alone climbed to the top, it was a question of whether he could finish halfway through.

So, as he walked, he thought about countermeasures in his head.

However, after thinking about it for a long time, he didn't figure out how to deal with it. You can only slow down as much as you can, and with each step you go up, you can stop for a while, get used to it, and then go up the next level. Anyway, the dean of the Supreme Academy didn't say how long it would take to finish.

The other teenagers did the same.

And further behind them, those teenagers who have not received an admission letter before have a harder time moving forward.

The pressure on them has created a clear obstacle to their progress. Some teenagers even sat down on the steps, intending to rest for a while before walking.

Wei Ziqi scoffed at these people's actions of resting.

Staying there means that they will be tested by the ladder of will every moment, and it will only make them weaker and weaker. If they stay too long, they won't be able to go even if they want to go up.

Because their willpower has been weakened to the extreme, and they simply cannot withstand the heavier pressure.

At the back of the line, Li Zeyang was struggling to move forward.

The pressure on him was greater than that of any of his companions. This tremendous pressure was tearing at his soul every moment, destroying his body, and making him feel extremely painful.

The young man's face was pale, and beads of sweat the size of beans kept sliding down his forehead, dripping on the snow-white steps, and then disappeared in an instant.

Yet his gaze was as firm as ever, even brighter than ever.

"If this is the ordeal that must be experienced in the process of becoming a strong man, then I would rather endure it all the time!"

The young man's eyes were blazing, and he didn't look at his companions in front of him, just stared at the upper steps of his position, and kept walking. Step on the second step with your front foot, stay for a moment, and then step on the other foot.

Although his movements are slow, he always maintains the same rhythm, unswervingly going up and up. There was no stop, no hesitation.

On the other side, under the ladder, Liu Chu's figure suddenly appeared.

He looked up and said to himself, "I don't know what they feel, well, let me experience it for myself." ”

After saying that, he stepped on the first step without hesitation.

"Huh?"

Liu Chu was stunned: "I don't feel anything." ”

He scratched his scalp: "Could it be that I didn't feel it?" ”

He kept moving upwards, and soon he had climbed dozens of steps.

"Still don't feel it, what's going on?"

Liu Chu stopped, his expression a little puzzled: "Do you have to climb all of them to feel it?"

With that in mind, he continued to walk up.

Soon, a somewhat thin figure appeared in his sight.

"Li Zeyang?"

Liu Chu was stunned for a moment, then overjoyed, and wanted to say hello.

But then, he stopped again, hesitated for a moment, looked at the young man's back, and still didn't interrupt him.

"He seems to have found his rhythm, and it might not be good for me to interrupt him now. Liu Chu said to himself, "Forget it, wait until he finishes the assessment and then go tell him." ”

Having made a decision, Liu Chu walked up quickly, and soon overtook Li Zeyang.

As he passed by the boy, he glanced back and saw the boy's focused expression and determined gaze.

"Looks like I'm doing the right thing. ”

This thought flashed through his mind, and Liu Chu's footsteps kept moving upward, and soon left Li Zeyang far behind.

Li Zeyang, who was concentrating on moving forward, didn't notice that someone had surpassed him, he only had the white jade steps in his eyes, and he had only one thought in his heart: forward!

On the other side, Liu Chu rushed up in a smoke, and people kept being thrown down by him along the way.

The teenagers who were surpassed by him looked at his peerless back, and their expressions were wonderful.

Soon, Liu Chu had already caught up with the first echelon.

"Hello. ”

He ran in front of the boys, turned and walked backwards, smiling and greeting the crowd.

Several teenagers looked up at him, then lowered their heads again, ignoring him.

By now, they simply don't have the energy to care about anything else. The great pain in their bodies and souls made their bodies tremble slightly, and the clothes on their bodies were soaked with sweat little by little.

Liu Chu was bored with himself, immediately touched his nose, didn't care about them, turned around and continued to run briskly.

At this time, the handsome young man raised his head, glanced at his back, and gritted his teeth for a while.

"You dare to humiliate me like this, you wait for me, and when you enter the academy, I must make you look good!"

On the wide stone platform, Wei Ziqi was lying on a recliner, and when he saw this scene through a suspended light screen in front of him, he immediately shook his head.

This kid has talent, but unfortunately his heart is too narrow-minded and he is destined to become a big man.

Then, with a movement of his mind, the image of another teenager appeared on the light screen.

Looking at the thin young man who walked with great difficulty but determination at every step, Wei Ziqi touched his chin.

"This kid is kind of funny. ”

Time passed slowly, and on the top of the ladder, there was finally a teenager who couldn't hold on any longer, and sat on the top of the jade steps, panting heavily, and said, "Oops...... I...... I can't do it anymore."

At the moment when he chose to give up, he felt the pressure on his body suddenly dissipate.

"Huh?"

The young man was stunned for a moment, stood up, hesitated for a moment, and then stepped forward to the next jade step.

However, the next moment, he only felt his body stiffen, and then an incomparably huge pressure rolled towards him like an overwhelming force.

In an instant, the young man sat on the jade steps with his buttocks, his face was pale, his head was dizzy, and his body was full of sweat as if he had been fished out of water.

After a while, he came to his senses, and he no longer dared to act rashly, so he sat honestly on the jade steps where he was, looking around and looking at the scenery.

More and more teenagers gave up and moved on, stopping where they were.

They wanted to hold on a little longer, but the great pain that seemed to have their souls torn apart made them hesitate.

In the end, these teenagers can only console themselves with "I've reached the limit". Then he sat down on the floor and rested peacefully.

Time continued to pass, and Wei Ziqi lay comfortably on the recliner and swayed his body.

At this moment, there was the sound of something falling to the ground not far away, followed by a heavy snort.

"Hey, someone climbed here?"

Wei Ziqi was stunned for a moment, opened his eyes and looked over, and then cried and laughed.

I saw that on the edge of the ladder, a young man in a fancy costume was lying there on all fours, his chest rising and falling violently, and he was panting heavily.

It was Liu Chu who was fooled by him to climb the ladder.

After glancing at this kid, Wei Ziqi shook his head, ignored him, and continued to close his eyes and dangle it.

After Liu Chu lay on the ground and rested for a while, he quickly got up and ran in front of Wei Ziqi.

"Dean. ”

"Huh?"

Weizi let out a snort.

Liu Chu asked with a puzzled face: "Why did I climb again, except that I felt very tired, I still didn't feel anything?"

"Oh. Wei Ziqi let out a flat tone, then opened his eyes and looked at him, and said without changing his face, "It's the enrollment assessment mode now, so you, a formal student, won't be affected on the ladder." ”

Liu Chu's face suddenly turned bitter: "Then didn't I run for nothing." ”

Wei Ziqi said in a calm tone: "Young people, it's always good to exercise more. How can you say that you ran for nothing?"

Liu Chu looked at him with disdain: "Why don't you go to exercise?"

Wei Ziqi glared at him: "How do you kid talk? Be honest with me, or the dean will let you climb ten more times. ”

Liu Chu was stunned and stopped talking.

On the ladder, more and more teenagers stopped, and fewer and fewer people continued to move forward. In the end, there were less than twenty people left, and they were still slowly moving forward.

Wei Ziqi glanced at them one by one and knew it in his heart.

Basically, these are the people who can finally pass the assessment.

At this time, Lin Zangfeng's figure appeared on the ladder.

He walked to the back of the line, beside the boy who had given up first, and said in a deep voice, "Do you want to keep going?"

The young man shook his head suddenly: "No need, no need." ”

He had just rested for a while and tried again, but the pressure hit again, and the effect made him feel weak now.

Lin Zangfeng didn't say anything, he waved expressionlessly, and a machine Vermilion Bird flew over, and two elemental puppets came down, grabbed one of the young man's arms, and drove him to the back of the Mechanism Vermilion Bird.

Lin Zangfeng walked up to another teenager and repeated the same question.

"Can you move on?"

The boy looked at him blankly.

Lin Zangfeng didn't talk nonsense, and directly let the elemental puppet throw him into the Vermilion Bird. Then he continued to the next boy.

Eventually, all the teenagers who gave up were put on the back of the Suzaku Finch, and then one after another Suzaku flapped its wings and flew towards the top of the ladder. (To be continued.) )
