When Mingqi opened his eyes again, he found that more than 20 people had appeared outside the crowd, including Shi Ming and Lei Shi. Shi Ming took out more than a hundred black strips of cloth from the Neng Ring, distributed them to each candidate, and then said in a deep voice
"I just said it, so please wear the blindfold in your hands. If someone takes it off on the way, I will not hesitate to strangle it." After saying this, many candidates trembled, obviously a little scared.
, then everyone, including Mingqi and others, put on black eye masks and waited for this person to take them to Xiu Sheng Academy.
One hour, two hours, three hours passed. Mingqi still didn't feel anything strange. He felt that he was still in the forest. However, Shi Ming had given a death order and was not allowed to take off the blindfold, so Mingqi could only wait quietly.
.
Suddenly, Mingqi felt the ground beneath his feet move, and then he regained his composure. Shi Ming said, "Here we are, everyone. You have performed well. Now you can take off your blindfolds." After hearing what Shi Ming said, Mingqi and others took off their blindfolds one after another.
, the dazzling sunlight made everyone's eyes hurt, and they closed their eyes again, and then slowly opened their eyes.
Ming Qi couldn't believe that this was the work of human beings. An endless staircase was hidden in the clouds and mist above. When he recalled that he was in the forest just now, and now he was here, the shock in his heart was self-evident.
Mingqi recalled how he got here just now. It seemed that he was here in the forest when the ground suddenly moved under his feet. In fact, it was not the case. Mingqi felt that the ground under his feet moved not because he was in the forest, but because his feet landed here.
The feeling of touching the ground. After Mingqi and others put on blindfolds, twenty people wrapped more than a hundred people with powerful energy. The energy applied to their feet was just enough to make them feel that their feet were still on the ground and not moving. Then they brought
Flying with everyone and using the ability to separate and block the air in front of them will not make everyone feel strange. In this way, flying in the air takes everyone to the stairs outside Xiu Sheng Academy, and gives everyone the illusion that they have been in the forest. Suddenly
The ground beneath my feet moved, and I appeared here.
Shi Ming looked at everyone with surprised faces and naturally laughed secretly, and then said, "Everyone, you have the test questions for the second exam in front of you. You must step on each step step by step. You are not allowed to step on multiple steps in a row, and you are only allowed to step on each step.
You are not allowed to go up or down. If you break the rules, you will be immediately disqualified. If you step on the 10,000-level ladder, you will pass the exam for the second time." After hearing this, Mingqi asked, "Examiner Shi, I have a question. Isn't it unfair to just take the exam like this?"
"Oh? Tell me about it," Shi Ming looked at Ming Qi with interest.
"First of all, we have different levels. There are first-level masters, seventh-level masters, and even generals. With such a gap in strength, if we are asked to participate in climbing this ladder, wouldn't it mean that the weaker we are, the more we will suffer in the end?
?”
Ming Qi looked at the ten thousand steps and said slowly.
Shi Ming smiled and said, "We have already prepared these, now you bring this." After saying this, Shi Ming took out more than a hundred belts from the energy ring, distributed them to everyone, and said, "This is an energy-limiting belt, it can
The energy in your body is suppressed at the early stage of being a nenshi, so the problem of your cultivation will be solved. Whether you can climb up these ten thousand stairs depends on your perseverance." After saying this, Shi Ming flashed and took the other ten people with him.
The nine people disappeared. Ming Qi said to Yuan Qing, Xiao Wan'er and Liu Xuan Ge next to him, "Let's go." After saying that, he led the three of them and started running forward one by one. More than a hundred people followed him.
Not to be outdone, they all ran up and down one level at a time.
After half an hour, Mingqi calculated that he had only run through 3,000 steps, and there were still 7,000 steps left. At this time, Mingqi was already sweating profusely, soaking his clothes, but Mingqi still insisted on not using any energy.
, because Mingqi knew that if he used energy before the first five thousand steps, he might not be sure that he could go up the remaining five thousand steps, and the three Yuan and Qing people behind Mingqi how could they have Mingqi's abnormal physique?
, have all started to pump energy into their feet, so they don’t look very tired.
Just after Mingqi reached level 5,000 with physical strength, many people behind him surpassed Mingqi and walked in front. What surprised Mingqi the most was not these people, but a seventeen-year-old man next to him.
The eight-year-old young man was actually sweating profusely, and he obviously relied on physical strength just like himself.
Yuan Qing, who was behind Ming Qi, gasped and said, "Ming Qi, look at who he looks a bit like?" Ming Qi looked at the young man and suddenly realized, "Liu Xuan Pavilion!" Yuan Qing said, "Yes, he is, Xuan
Ge's elder brother, Liu Xuanjian, reached the level of general genius at the age of fifteen." Ming Qi understood that it was no wonder that his physical strength was comparable to his own. It turned out that his physical body was already a general level body. Compared with his own natural talent,
The bodies piled up by Dibao were probably even worse. As expected, Mingqi and Liu Xuanjian were at the same height, but they only lasted for a moment. Liu Xuanjian speeded up little by little and quickly got away from Mingqi. Just as Mingqi was about to make a move.
When they were able to catch up, another person behind him caught Mingqi's attention. It was Liu Xuange. Liuxuange was able to leave Mingqi and the three of them chased forward. Mingqi was about to speak to remind him not to act out of anger, but was stopped by him.
Yuan Qing was blocked, and Yuan Qing gasped, "Xuan Ge has always aimed at his brother. Even if he did not reach the general level when he was fifteen years old, it would still be the same. This is his persistence. We should not interfere." Ming Ming said.
Qidian nodded, naturally understanding the reason.
After reaching the 8,000th level, everyone behind Mingqi stepped back and gave up because it was difficult to move forward. And many people in front of Mingqi also gave up their qualifications for the test. Mingqi had already received energy support when he reached the 6,000th level, and now in his body
Only about half of the energy can be used to operate. Yuan Qing and Xiao Wan'er next to them are running out of energy. It seems that the fate they will face next is to be eliminated.
Mingqi carefully observed his energy status, and found that it was a little more than half. Mingqi slowed down and walked to the two of them, divided the remaining energy into three parts, and injected them into Yuan Qing and Xiao Wan'er respectively, leaving them in his own body.
The two people who were almost exhausted felt an energy injected into their bodies, and the pain in their bodies was instantly relieved. Then the two of them used this energy to assist their leg muscles, and there were still 1,900 levels left to reach.
The two people on the stairs regained hope.
At this time, where there were still hundreds of steps, many candidates began to slow down. It was obvious that they could no longer support it. There were only two people. One was Liu Xuanjian. His speed remained unchanged. He started from the 7,000 steps.
He has just started to use energy, so it is not a problem to maintain speed to climb the remaining three thousand steps. There is always someone behind Liu Xuanjian, and that is Liu Xuange. He has exhausted all his energy. In these last few steps,
Each step of the hundred-step staircase was a physical torture for him, but Liu Xuange's inner pursuit of his brother Liu Xuanjian's back made him pursue his brother's back with this obsession, or at this time
He was just like Mingqi after taking off the pendant. He was in a coma, but controlled his body with a trace of obsession.
Liu Xuanjian naturally knew his brother behind him. He did not slow down to help him, but accelerated towards the top. Liu Xuange's already dilated pupils only saw this back figure. The back accelerated and he accelerated too. Soon
The few people who were still in front of the Liu Xuan brothers were overtaken, and the stairs were reduced little by little. Liu Xuanjian was the first to reach the top of the ladder, and Liu Xuan Pavilion was second. Liu Xuan Pavilion immediately passed out as soon as he went up. "The muscles in his legs...
The damage is very severe, almost completely broken, the internal organs are bleeding from fatigue, and the nerves are almost separated from the muscles due to pain. This child's condition is very critical!" The pharmacist from the Xiu Sheng Academy said, Liu Xuanjian did not expect it.
His younger brother was so persistent and said urgently, "Pharmacist, please, hurry, save my brother." The white-bearded old man did not answer Liu Xuanjian's words, but took out a small bottle with his palm, and then poured it slowly.
He put it into Liu Xuange's mouth, and then his hand emitted a ray of white light that penetrated into Liu Xuange's body, and then he said, "If this child hadn't been so persistent, I wouldn't have spent my elixir. Now he is no longer in serious trouble, as long as
In a few days, you will be back to your original state." Liu Xuanjian immediately thanked you and said, "Thank you, thank you!" After saying this, he just picked up Liu Xuange and was shocked by what he saw in front of him.
And here, many candidates have successfully completed the ten thousand steps with their own perseverance and some physical advantages. There are only three people on the steps, Mingqi - Yuan Qing - Xiao Wan'er - who have reached the last five hundred.
At the level, Xiao Wan'er was the first to lose her support. Seeing that Xiao Wan'er would be disqualified if she fell, Ming Qi, with quick eyes and quick hands, grabbed Xiao Wan'er's hand and prevented her from retreating even one step.
Mingqi carried Xiao Wan'er on his back and said, "Yuanqing, you...go first!" Yuanqing was also in pain all over his body at this time. Naturally, he knew how much burden Mingqi did on Mingqi, but Mingqi's eyes were firm.
Tell him that Mingqi can come up.
Yuan Qing nodded and continued running forward.
There is only one reason for Mingqi to carry Xiao Wan'er on his back. Xiao Wan'er is his friend and partner!
Time passed by minute by second. I don’t know why I didn’t see the sun here. It didn’t get dark after so long. There was still a dazzling light. Ming Qi carried Xiao Wan’er on his back and stepped on the stairs step by step. Ming Qi sweated.
Like rain, there is no energy left in the body. Under this kind of fatigue and pain, the body can stop recovering. Mingqi has been in a state of being incompetent inside the body and powerless outside the body. But Mingqi still gritted his teeth and persisted, his gums oozing.
The blood was enough to show the pain he had endured. The remaining dozens of steps in front of him swayed in Mingqi's eyes. Mingqi had already had hallucinations. The sound of muscle tearing came from his legs from time to time. Mingqi's legs were no longer his own.
My nerves were almost uncontrollable, and waves of dizziness and pain swept through my brain, making me realize how happy it would be to lie on the ground.
Mingqi walked on these dozens of steps for an hour, but Mingqi only climbed more than thirty steps. Mingqi's eyes were temporarily blind due to fatigue and hypoxia. In the dark world, Mingqi could only hear.
The sound of his own breathing, sweat, and the clicking sound of landing on the ground. Mingqi didn't know how many steps were left. He only knew that every time he lifted up and stepped back with all his strength, he stepped on the steps and straightened his legs with all his strength, over and over again.
Bit by bit, minute by second.
Two hours later, Mingqi was still struggling to lift his legs on the last five levels. Mingqi tried many times, but his legs kept shaking. He couldn't lift an inch higher and then fell down. Mingqi roared with all his strength.
"Ah—!" Mingqi finally lifted his leg up the step, and propped himself up. As soon as his back foot was half way up, the front leg that had managed to catch up with it immediately twitched away, and his body fell back, stretching again.
The front legs fall back again…
Mingqi spent several hours on the first four steps of the five-step ladder. Mingqi still tried hard to lift his legs and repeat the actions he had repeated countless times. The red sweat on Mingqi's face still did not stop.
Qi has been severely dehydrated for a long time, but Mingqi is still awake. He can't see with his eyes, but his ears can hear sounds, including crying, cheering, and gasping...
