Chapter 288 Climbing the Ladder
At noon, Longmen City was extremely lively.
On the huge 999-step ladder that goes straight up to the sky, at this moment, tens of thousands of people are already climbing on it at the same time.
With the passage of time, the gap between star card masters of all levels on the Longmen Ladder has widened.
Under the suppression of the strange force above the ladder, the Bronze ranks are basically distributed in tens to two hundred steps, while the Silver ranks are mostly three to four hundred steps.
As for the gold rank, they have generally reached the 500th rank or higher!
"I can't hold it anymore, it's too tiring..."
"ah!…"
"I can't do it, Old Feng, I'll take a step first..."
One after another, the Bronze Star Card Masters fell from the ladder, and were wrapped by the dragon-shaped brilliance of the ladder and landed on the ground smoothly.
"The star power in the body is indeed improved. Damn it, if you stick to the 20th and 30th steps, you might be able to break through to the high bronze level!" A young man who just fell back to the ground looked up at the high-altitude ladder, feeling extremely regretful.
Not only this young man, but all the star card masters around him who fell back to the ground from the ladder felt this way.
Before on the ladder, I just wanted to go forward with all my strength, but now I fell back to the ground, and after a little induction, I found that my cultivation has really improved a lot.
"There is only one chance, those who have already fallen go to the side, don't block others..." The disciples of Longmen who are in charge of order in Denglong Square kept calling.
These people can only withdraw to one side and continue to observe the situation at high altitude.
In addition to maintaining order, the disciples of Longmen also have many people who continue to pay attention to the situation on the ladder.
The task of these Longmen disciples is also very simple, that is, to keep an eye on the outstanding performers on the ladder.
Whether it is the silver level that breaks through the 400th level, or the gold level that breaks through the 700th level, they are all the best in all levels, you can try to contact and win over.
A newly promoted king-level power has a high growth potential, and is quite attractive to many unorganized and powerless lone star card masters.
At this time, Su Yuan also ascended the 500th step on the Longmen Ladder!
The pressure on the ladder is getting bigger and bigger. Even if it is a gold level, it must combine the physical body with the star power to be able to withstand the pressure.
"Hoo, hoo..."
Huang Xiang leaned on his knees with both hands and gasped for breath, sweat streaming down his chin and arms.
"I, I'm almost at the limit, don't worry about me, you... go first."
Five hundred steps is indeed close to the limit for Huang Xiang, who is a senior silver class.
So far, there are only two silver ranks that have reached the 500th step ahead, at the 522nd and 538th steps respectively.
The two of them were also sweating profusely at this moment, their bodies were surging with star power, and they had already launched some kind of strengthening skills.
Because the star power is suppressed by the ladder, although the enhanced skills can be used, the effect is weakened a lot.
Obviously, it was by virtue of enhanced skills that these two could reach the 520th and 30th ranks.
It’s just that on the ladder, you have to constantly consume physical strength and star power to fight against pressure. If you start to strengthen your skills, it means it’s the final sprint!
However, at this moment, it will take some time for the two of them to take another step. I am afraid that they will reach their limit at the twentieth step.
Seeing what Huang Xiang said, Su Yuan also knew that he was here to put pressure on Huang Xiang, so he said, "Well, we will wait for you up there."
Huang Xiang pulled up the corners of his mouth and smiled with difficulty: "I will... try my best!"
Su Yuan nodded and continued walking forward.
"come on!"
Luo Bingtong waved her fist expressionlessly to cheer Huang Xiang up, and then followed Su Yuan and continued to walk up.
"Forget about Su Yuan, even Bingtong is as perverted as ever."
Seeing Su Yuan and Luo Bingtong walking forward slowly without blushing or panting, Huang Xiang couldn't help but shook his head with a wry smile.
Immediately, Huang Xiang took a few deep breaths, with some firmness in his eyes.
"Although it may be slower, I will try my best to catch up."
Thinking like this, Huang Xiang raised his heavy and trembling right foot, and stepped forward again!
…
"Six hundred and sixty-sixth order! The first six hundred and sixty-sixth order has appeared!"
In Denglong Square, the star card masters who had been eliminated early suddenly shouted.
"who is it?"
"Let me see...it seems to be Wei Yong, the headmaster of the Huli Hall of the White Elephant Gate, a veteran gold master."
"That's right, it's him. He has led the first echelon from the very beginning, and now he is the first one to ascend the 666th step. It's amazing!"
"I just don't know if I can reach the 999th step."
"As far as I know, Wei Yong specializes in the physical body, his star power is not weak, and he has a strong ability to withstand pressure. I feel that there is a good chance."
"..."
Longmen ladder, one hundred steps is a hurdle, and most of the bronze-level star card masters will be wiped out.
At this moment, when Wei Yong ascended the 666th step, his figure suddenly sank. After a while, he got used to standing up again, and continued to move upward step by step.
However, this forward speed is obviously much slower than before, and it can be seen that he is struggling even more.
Starting from Wei Yong, more and more gold-level masters have also broken through the 666th level, including Seth and Aleia, whom Su Yuan had met before.
Seth looked calm, but Aleia was already pale and began to pant.
After all, the Dragon Gate Ladder does not depend on your actual combat power, but on your physical body and star power. Aleya, who only has a golden beginner level, is naturally quite strenuous.
"Aleia, are you still holding on?" Seth asked in a low voice.
"It's... okay!" Aleiya bit her lip lightly, and looked up, "Finally, I will use the holy enhancement, and it should be no problem to rush to the 700th step!"
"Okay." Seth nodded.
"Brother, let's go first, don't worry about me." Aleiya whispered.
Seth shook his head and smiled: "It's okay, this level of pressure is nothing to me now."
Alea nodded, knowing that it was true, so she slowed down a bit before continuing on.
But Seth looked towards a certain place below, where two familiar figures gradually approached the six hundred and sixty-six steps from behind.
It was Su Yuan and Luo Bingtong.
"It's really easy, Su Yuan." Seth smiled, then looked away and followed Aleiya.
Su Yuan was naturally aware of Seth's gaze, but he didn't pay much attention to it. After all, he was on the Longmen Ladder, and he had to go down to talk about anything.
"Six hundred and sixty-six!"
Su Yuan stepped on the 666th step of the ladder with two feet, and suddenly felt a transcendent force far surpassing the previous one surging from the ladder under his feet.
He trembled slightly, and the star power in his body gushed out like a spring, constantly impacting the boundary of the star power cyclone.
The bottleneck, which was originally stable and abnormal, has now become a little loose.
"There are still more than 300 levels, so there is hope for a higher level!" Su Yuan was slightly happy.
Turning his head to look at Luo Bingtong, who was following the 666th step, Su Yuan asked, "Bingtong, are you feeling alright?"
But just as soon as he asked, Su Yuan knew that he was asking for nothing.
At this moment, Luo Bingtong's complexion remained the same as before, not a single bit of change from usual, as if he didn't feel any pressure...
"Yes." Luo Bingtong replied.
Su Yuan nodded, and continued forward with Luo Bingtong.
But the two of them hadn't taken a few steps when suddenly there was a strong wave of star power in front of them.
"Someone broke through?"
Su Yuan's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately raised his head and looked forward.
It was a red-haired woman from the Yanluo Kingdom who had reached the 700th rank. She was in her early thirties, and at this time, waves of golden high-level star power were continuously emitting from her body.
"I've been stuck in the gold middle class for more than a year, and I finally broke through!"
The red-haired woman was overjoyed, even if it was a small bottleneck, it could be as little as ten days and a half month, as long as several years.
But this time with the help of the Longmen Ladder, she successfully broke through the bottleneck that had trapped her for more than a year. The red-haired woman was naturally extremely happy!
"Thank you, City Lord Qin!"
The red-haired woman from Yanluo country saluted far away towards the sky, and then continued to climb up.
And this red-haired woman is like a start button. On the nearly thousand steps of the Longmen Ladder, Gold, Silver, Bronze... Star Card Masters break through one after another.
The turbulent and dissipated star power turned into a large cloud of auspicious clouds lingering on the Longmen ladder, adding a sense of mystery to this ladder that went straight into the blue sky.
As time passed, the situation on the ladder became more and more stalemate.
There are people who are not supported and eliminated, and there are people who make breakthroughs from time to time.
There are tens of thousands of people who have climbed the ladder, but at this moment, there are only three or four thousand people left on the entire ladder.
And by now, everyone is almost at their limit.
Levels above 500 are basically gold-level, and the gap is quite obvious.
Gold elementary level, most of them stop at the 600th level;
Gold intermediate level, some of which can surpass the six hundred and sixty-sixth level;
Gold high-level, more than 90% cannot break through the 800th level.
Among them, many of them have already achieved breakthroughs.
Now, not to mention moving forward, it is difficult for these people to maintain the current class.
Under the pressure of hundreds of ladders, recovery has lagged far behind consumption. Just standing still requires constant consumption of stamina and star power.
If you want to push away the pressure and advance to the next level, the physical and star power you need to consume is even more astonishing.
Under such circumstances, if you want to climb to a higher ladder before exhaustion, you must launch a final sprint.
Thus, some gold-rankers who had already reached the heights began to exert their full strength one after another!
