With the order of the Lord of the Qing Sect, thousands of disciples began to climb the ladder, the ladder was very wide, and a total of more than 20 people lined up.

Those high-ranking disciples bear the brunt, and some low-ranking disciples are self-aware, so they don't rush forward first, but give way out to those who have the opportunity to climb higher steps.

Outside Jiuyang Mountain, those disciples who came out in advance were disgraced, sitting on the side meditating and cultivating their minds, waiting for the end of the trial.

Xiao Ju took Hei Qiu'er to other mountains to pick wild fruits, like an outing, and the woman now believes that the people of the Qing Sect are friends, so she no longer deliberately stares at the safety of Hua Wenxiang.

In the Temple of Heaven, as many as half of the people climbed three hundred steps in one go, and each of these people received a point.

About fifty disciples had to stop when they reached more than 100 or 200 floors, they really didn't have the strength to climb another step, and these people were about to get half or one point, but because of their limited strength, they had to be unwilling to give up.

Everyone climbs the ladder to do their best, if they hurt their vitality because of climbing the ladder, the gains outweigh the losses, after all, this kind of thing to enter the Temple of Heaven is every month, this time the results are not good, and the next effort is.

More than 400 disciples, including Hua Wen Xiang Dibai, had already climbed the 500th step, and some of them did not feel any discomfort except for feeling a little hot.

A moment later, more than a hundred disciples couldn't stand the heat in the Temple of Heaven and left here one after another.

And some of the disciples couldn't climb any further, but they could withstand the heat in the Temple of Heaven, and they sat on the stairs, taking advantage of the strange environment around them to refine their blood and soul qi.

Some people still choose to continue climbing after resting for a while, they feel that even if they get half a point, maybe this half point will make the monthly test ranking move up several places.

At this moment, the people at the forefront of the ladder are undoubtedly Hua Wenxiang and many first-class and second-level disciples.

Almost every 10 or so of the steps below the 500 floors will be stopped to rest, some of these people will rest for a while and then continue to climb, while others have been using the heat flow to refine their bodies.

On the six seats under the ladder, Chen Mu asked, "Who do you think will be the first to enter the Temple of Heaven this time?"

Fu Hou stroked his beard, "Who doesn't know first, but Xiaohua will definitely be able to rank in the top ten, this kid has a strong physique, and he has a great advantage in the trial of entering the Temple of Heaven." ”

Qi Chenhong echoed: "This is indeed the case, at this point, Di Bai will suffer a lot, as a swordsman, his physique is inferior to that of a martial artist." ”

Cao Congqi said: "Although Hua Wenxiang, Dibai and others have good talents, they are still too young after all, I think they should not be as good as those first-class disciples, among which Yang Zan and Wang Jundi have the greatest chance of winning the first place, their two first-class disciples have been in the status for five years, I think that in the next less than a year, at least one of these two people can become an offering." ”

Xu Chencheng said with a smile: "Brother Cao is reasonable. ”

The big man Su Dou was much taller than the others, causing it to sit in the crowd very discordantly, "I still think that Xiaohua can get the first, his physique is more powerful than the ordinary martial artists of Danqing Realm, it should be that he has taken fairy grass and other things before, and he has a divine flower in his body, as far as I know, this divine flower in his body has a spark posture, if he can use this posture, it is estimated that it can offset a lot of heat." ”

Qi Chenhong nodded, "After the thousandth layer of the Temple of Heaven, there will be pressure, and when the pressure and heat hit each other, it will definitely be a difficult time." ”

Fu Hou sighed: "It would be good if this kid was in the Danqing Realm like Yang Zan and Wang Jundi, if that is the case, this kid will definitely be able to achieve good results." ”

Xu Chencheng said: "Xiaohua is participating in the monthly exam for the first time, even if the results are not satisfactory, it doesn't matter, and there will be a lot of opportunities to prove yourself in the future." ”

Cao Cong said with a smile: "Such a wonderful scene, it's a pity that Xiaoju doesn't look at the protector who is Xiaohua." ”

Cao Congqi was very puzzled by Xiao Ju's identity, he didn't notice Xiao Ju's existence at all when he was in Xuanyun Mountain two years ago, in contrast, Huang Liangfeng at that time was more like a protector of Hua Wenxiang.

Su Dou smiled: "Xiao Ju should not be interested in similar things. ”

Everyone was noncommittal, as if in the eyes of the woman in the red dress, she didn't dare to be interested in anyone or anything except the warm fragrance of flowers.

The reason why women are good with black balls every day may be because black balls are very important to the fragrance of flowers.

Chen Mu smiled: "It's just the beginning, and it's a little early for us to make these conclusions." ”

The two sect masters and the four disciples who were looking at the highest part of the ladder were full of anticipation.

After the thousands of steps, the initial team of more than 500 people immediately decreased by nearly 100 people, and Hua Wenxiang and the others were still at the forefront, but everyone's pace slowed down significantly.

Beads of sweat began to appear on Hua Wenxiang's forehead, and she said in her heart: "This ladder is really magical, especially after passing the thousand steps, the feeling of heat and pressure is both overwhelming, this environment should be of great help to temper the body and blood soul qi." I heard that when you reach the 1,800th floor, it is the biggest watershed of this trial, and you can often go up after the 1,800th floor, and the lowest is a C-level disciple. ”

Of the three tests in the monthly exam, it is not rare to have full scores in the first two, and some first-level disciples can achieve two perfect scores. The difficulty of the monthly exam mainly lies in the last item of admission to the Temple of Heaven, in this exam, except for the four current worshippers who have scored full marks, the rest of the people have scored up to nine points.

The team of more than 400 people at the top was slowly decreasing, Hua Wenxiang looked back, there were people on almost every step, among the thousands of disciples, some were still trying to climb up, some were meditating with peace of mind, and a small number of people left the Temple of Heaven one after another.

The drenched pale glanced at Hua Wenxiang, who was just sweating on his forehead, and admired: "Brother Hua is really powerful, it is estimated that it is not a problem to go up to five hundred layers." ”

Hua Wenxiang wiped the beads of sweat on her forehead, "It's a bit strenuous, every time we walk now, the pressure and heat will increase a lot, and I can't say how many layers I can hold onto." How many floors have you walked to?"

Pale said with difficulty: "Two thousand and seventy-one." ”

Hua Wenxiang thought for a while, "Then the final score is 6.5 points?"

Di Bai snorted, "Every time I take the monthly exam, it's because of the fact that I am delayed in entering the Temple of Heaven, otherwise I would have become a second-level disciple long ago."

Hua Wenxiang asked the blind woman on the side again, "What is the highest level of meditation?"

Jing Si replied, "Two thousand one hundred and eighty floors." ”

Hua Wenxiang secretly praised a woman, even more than half a point white, this usually inconspicuous woman is really strong.

Duan Zhang, who had climbed the stairs together, whispered, "You guys go up first, I'm going to sit down and rest for a while." It is estimated that there will be no more than 100 floors to go up in the future, so it is better to stop here and polish your physique. ”

The middle-aged man was sweating profusely, and he didn't even have the strength to speak.

By this time they had reached the 1,800th staircase and had climbed for four hours.

Hua Wenxiang said: "That brother will stay here, and a few of us will go up again." ”

Duan Zhang no longer had the strength to speak, and a chuckle was considered to cheer up a few people.

After two thousand steps, there were less than a hundred, and most of them were almost unable to hold on, and they had to rest for half an hour with almost every step.

On the two thousand two hundred and eighty floors, Di Bai finally couldn't hold on, and the young swordsman sat down on the steps, "Let's go, I really can't walk, the score of this monthly exam is enough for the standard of a second-level disciple, I have to polish my physique next." ”

The second-level disciples are between twenty-five and twenty-seven points, and the scores of the monthly examination of Dibai this time add up to twenty-six and a half points, which is enough to be included in the ranks of the intermediate B-level disciples.

However, Di Bai still has a little regret this time, if he can climb the two hundred and seventy steps more, he can become a first-class disciple, but it is a pity that his physique is really not strong, so he has to stop here with regrets.

After walking another hundred steps, Jing Si stopped meditating on the spot, and gasped in admiration: "Xiaohua, you are really powerful." ”

Hua Wenxiang's clothes were soaked, she smiled bitterly, and then continued to climb up against the huge pressure and heat.

There are no more than thirty people who still climb before and after.

Hua Wenxiang wanted to sit down and rest for a while, but he knew that once he sat down, he would stop there.

After 2,000 steps, there is a lot of momentum, and once you sit down, you will definitely not stand up again.

Under the ladder, Chen Mu said with a smile: "This kid still retains his strength, at least he can climb another hundred floors." ”

Xu Chencheng and the four worshippers did not speak, and they were all waiting to see the final results of this young man.

At the time of the two thousand five hundred steps, there were eight people counting Hua Wenxiang, and these people, except for Hua Wenxiang, were all first-class disciples in the sect, including Yang Zan and Wang Jundi.

Yang Zan, who was full of white hair, walked side by side with Hua Wenxiang, "It is worthy of being the little junior brother of the sect master, and he is so unreasonable at a young age." ”

Hua Wenxiang was speechless, and she couldn't even simply raise the corners of her mouth. He had to thank Yang Zan for his praise in his heart.

On the 2,600th staircase, there are only five people left.

The disciples meditating on the steps stared intently at the five people who continued to climb, and their eyes all showed admiration.

The warm fragrance of the flowers shone above everyone's heads like a bright light, impressing all the disciples of the Qing Sect, this is a real genius, compared to the people in the sect who are Bai Bai and Jing Si.

Now there are less than two hours left before the end of the trial, except for the top five, everyone no longer climbs, but all sit on the ground, cherishing this last precious time.

Due to the huge loss of spiritual energy to activate the Temple of Heaven, this place is usually never open to the public, and it will be opened once a month at the end of the month, so as long as all the disciples can hold on for a moment longer, they will never leave early.

On the 2,700th steps, only three of the thousands of disciples remained climbing.

Flower Wenxiang, Yang Zan, Wang Jundi.
