God Emperor

The ancestor of the Luo family, Luo Xu, was a saint who came out of the Holy Court and held an extremely high status in the Holy Court.

With Luo Shuihan holding his token, he was naturally able to pass unimpeded in the Holy Courtyard.

Soon, a group of people from Tianmo Ridge arrived at the first round of assessment - the Pilgrimage Ladder.

The Pilgrimage Stairway is the tallest building in the Holy Courtyard. It is made of white snow crystal meteorites. Each piece weighs 100,000 kilograms. It reaches a total of ninety-nine steps. It goes straight into the clouds, giving people a sense of grandeur.

At the top of the ninety-nine steps to heaven, there is a white temple that emits white holy light all year round. From a distance, it looks like a full moon suspended in the sky. In the center of the full moon, there is a temple.

Only in the Holy Court can you see such a wonder.

It is said that since ancient times, every saint who walked out of the holy temple would leave an item and store it in that temple.

At the same time, the temple enshrines the stone statues of the saints, which contain the remaining holy power of the saints and allow future generations of students to worship them forever.

If you want to make a pilgrimage, you must climb the ladder to heaven.

In the temple at the top of the pilgrimage ladder, huge pressure of holy power is emitted, like white chains hanging down.

With each step you ascend, the pressure increases exponentially.

Only students who have climbed to the thirtieth step of the ladder will be considered to have passed the first round of assessment.

When Luo Shuihan, Zhang Ruochen, Huang Yanchen, Duanmu Xingling, Si Xingkong, Chang Qiqi, and Chen Xier arrived at the bottom of the pilgrimage ladder, hundreds of people had already boarded the ladder and were climbing up.

At the 30th step of the ladder, there is a huge jade tablet nine meters high.

All students who climb the thirtieth step of the ladder must use their fingers to carve their names on the jade tablet to pass the first round of assessment.

Those talented students were not satisfied after reaching the thirtieth level and continued to climb up.

Someone has actually reached the fiftieth step, and is still climbing up.

Huang Yanchen said: "Only people with higher qualifications can climb higher. Therefore, many people even if they have passed the first round of assessment, still climb up to prove that they are better than others."

"The Pilgrimage Stairway is a very famous monument in the entire Eastern Region. As long as you can beat the crowd here and show outstanding talent, you will immediately become famous all over the world."

"People make a name for themselves and build a shadow. Opportunities like this don't come around all the time."

Chang Qiqi rubbed her palms, her whole body became excited, and she said excitedly: "Haha! It seems that today is the day when I, Old Chang, will become famous in one fell swoop."

Not only Chang Qiqi, but also Si Xingkong, Huang Yanchen, and Chen Xier were all very excited, because this was a rare opportunity to prove their strength and compete with the proud ones in the entire Eastern Region.

Moreover, it is still in the Holy Courtyard.

There are probably many semi-saint-level figures standing in the dark, observing the pilgrimage ladder.

As long as you perform well enough, you might be directly accepted as a disciple by the Semi-Saint.

It is not that this kind of thing has never happened in the previous assessments of the Holy Academy. Therefore, although it was only the first round of assessment, everyone still worked hard to express themselves.

Zhang Ruochen and others did not go to the ladder immediately, but were still observing. They wanted to see what level the geniuses in the Eastern Region were at?

Not long after, the talented students from Nanyun County also came to the bottom of the pilgrimage ladder, rushed up towards the direction of the ladder.

Even for an outstanding descendant of a Semi-Saint family like Zi Hansha, it would definitely be a great joy if he was accepted as a disciple by a Semi-Saint.

Because the Zi family only has one semi-saint-level ancestor, and he doesn't show up often.

If by accident, that Half Saint ancestor dies and no new Half Saint is born, then the Zi family will immediately be knocked out of the mortal world and lose their status as a Half Saint family. At the same time, they may also be attacked by other Half Saint families. suppression and profit sharing.

If he can become a disciple of the Semi-Saint, then Zi Hansha's status in the Zi family will also rise, and he will definitely become the heir to the head of the Zi family.

In fact, even the status of the Zi family may be improved accordingly.

"Pilgrimage ladder. Great, today is the day when I, Zi Hansha, will become famous in one fell swoop. If I can get the favor of a Half Saint and become a disciple of a Half Saint. Who would dare to disrespect me when I return to the Zi family? Xue Ying That little bitch Rou, you still don’t surrender yourself to me.”

The more Zi Hansha thought about it, the more excited she became, so she took a deep breath, kicked her legs, leaped up, and landed directly on the twenty-first step of the ladder.

"boom!"

Zihansha's outstanding performance caused quite a shock.

"Who is that person? He jumped directly to the twenty-first level. It's really amazing."

"In the Holy Academy's assessment, there are indeed as many experts as there are."

When Zihansha heard the exclamations below, she felt happy and continued to climb up, reaching the twenty-second step, the twenty-third step...

Almost without stopping, we climbed to the thirtieth step.

A ball of purple brilliance condensed on his fingertips, and with three swishing sounds, three deep marks of the words "Purple Cold Sand" were left on the jade tablet.

Then, he continued to climb.

However, after passing the thirty steps, the suppression of the holy power emanating from the temple was significantly strengthened, and Zihansha's speed of climbing the ladder gradually slowed down.

It took him a quarter of an hour to reach the fortieth step.

Then, his speed on climbing the stairs became even slower. It takes almost every three minutes to go up a level.

Even so, Zihansha still stands out from the crowd, because so far, including him, there are only twenty-three talented students who have reached the fortieth level or above.

"Zi Hansha is worthy of being the top master of Wu City Academy in Nanyun County. He is indeed very capable." Zhang Ruochen thought to himself.

At this moment, another burst of exclamation sounded from the bottom of the pilgrimage ladder.

The twenty-fourth genius student reached the fortieth level.

The reason why it arouses admiration is because this talented student is a stunningly beautiful woman who has attracted the attention of the whole country. She has a slender figure, skin like gelatin, and long hair like a golden waterfall, which contrasts with the sacred radiance emanating from the pilgrimage ladder. Like a fairy in a painting.

Zhang Ruochen also glanced at the woman and nodded gently. I have to say that Xue Yingrou is indeed outstandingly beautiful. Especially the cute little feminine temperament in her body is very endearing and fatally tempting to men. They really want to hold her in their arms and love her well.

"Although this woman is annoying, her talent is not low." Duanmu Xingling said.

Huang Yanchen said: "Do you know her?"

Duanmu Xingling raised the corner of his mouth, glanced at Zhang Ruochen, and said with a smile: "I know her a little bit, but Zhang Ruochen has a very close relationship with her. Not only did he save her, but he also taught her swordsmanship..."

Duanmu Xingling wanted to continue talking, but Zhang Ruochen coughed twice and interrupted her.

Huang Yanchen has a bad temper, and even a spark falling on her body can set her on fire. When she heard Duanmu Xingling's words, she naturally thought of many "beautiful and romantic" scenes.

"Hmph! Is she beautiful? Why don't I think so?"

Huang Yanchen clenched his snow-white teeth and stared at Zhang Ruochen closely, making a clicking sound with his five fingers.

Zhang Ruochen smiled and said: "It's really not that beautiful."

Huang Yanchen snorted again and showed a look that said, "It's weird if I believe you." Then, she rushed out and went to climb the pilgrimage ladder.

Because of Huang Yanchen's mother's guidance and the power of dragon blood, Huang Yanchen's cultivation level has improved by leaps and bounds, and is no longer what it used to be.

"Wow!"

With just one step, Huang Yanchen climbed directly to the 22nd step. Then, with a quick step, he took four more steps and reached the 30th step.

After leaving her name on the jade tablet, she immediately stepped onto the thirty-first step of the ladder and chased Xue Yingrou in front.

Men like to be competitive, so why don’t women do the same?

Seeing Huang Yanchen chasing Xue Yingrou, Zhang Ruochen felt even more helpless. He glared at Duanmu Xingling and said, "Senior Sister Duanmu, you clearly know that Senior Sister Huang has a bad temper, yet you deliberately provoke her."

"What I said is all the truth. Am I wrong? I haven't told her yet that Xue Yingrou kissed you." Duanmu Xingling said with a smile.

Chang Qiqi looked at Huang Yanchen on the ladder of the Holy City and said: "How can Junior Sister Huang be so powerful? Has she already completely refined the dragon's blood?"

The strength displayed by Huang Yanchen was indeed quite astonishing, and seemed to be even stronger than Zi Hansha.

Chang Qiqi asked herself that she was still practicing very hard, but she had only refined one-third of the dragon's blood. Her current strength was far behind Huang Yanchen.

Chen Xi'er said: "Don't you know that my cousin's mother is a semi-saint. With the help of a semi-saint, my cousin has already completely refined the dragon's blood. And it's not just dragon's blood."

"Not just dragon blood?"

Chen Xi'er nodded and said: "Do you still remember Di Yi's semi-holy heart? After the semi-holy heart was dug out by my aunt, I gave it to my cousin. In recent months, my cousin has been He is cultivating with the Half-Saint Heart. With the help of his aunt, his cultivation level has already broken through to the late stage of Tianji Realm, and it seems that he will reach the lower end of Tianji Realm.”

"Hey! It's amazing to have a Half-Saint as my mother. If I had the help of a Half-Saint, I would have completely refined the dragon's blood. If I had a Half-Saint's heart, I would have broken through the realm long ago." Chang Qi Qi sighed.

Huang Yanchen's progress was indeed considerable, perhaps because she had completely refined the dragon's blood. When she exerted all her energy to activate her true energy, wisps of golden light emerged from her body, converging into the shadow of a golden dragon.

"Ouch!"

The loud roar of the dragon burst out from her body, forming a huge momentum.

In just an instant, she climbed up three steps, climbed to the 42nd step, and reached behind Xue Yingrou.

Xue Yingrou was obviously startled, feeling the huge momentum coming from behind, and immediately turned around, only to see an iceberg beauty with long blue hair standing behind her.

"Ouch!"

There was another dragon roar.

The beauty with long blue hair stretched out a palm, and golden light emitted from the palm, which gathered into a dragon claw and grabbed Xue Yingrou's shoulder.

"Who are you? What do you want to do?" Xue Yingrou was shocked.

Xue Yingrou was also a proud girl with strong cultivation. She reacted quickly and immediately took a step sideways. She twisted her slender waist slightly to avoid Huang Yanchen's blow.

"The dragon moves the mountains."

Huang Yanchen immediately chased after him, stretched out his palms, grabbed Xue Yingrou's waist with one hand, and grabbed Xue Yingrou's neck with the other. His two hands were like two dragon claws, pushing down, Directly knocking Xue Yingrou off the pilgrimage ladder.

"Bang bang!"

Xue Yingrou was a stunning beauty after all, but at this moment she fell down the pilgrimage ladder in a state of embarrassment.

Originally, in every Holy Academy assessment, there would definitely be many talented heroes competing on the Pilgrimage Ladder, and many people were mentally prepared.

But no one expected that it would be two stunning beauties who started the fight, and it would be so brutal. One of them was even beaten straight away. His face was disgraced and his image was completely ruined. Not to mention how miserable it was!
