Chapter 943 941: Can I Pursue Senior Sister Lingbo Now? (6th Update)
"Alright."
Ning Ruoxue could only nod helplessly.
Relying on her own, it was absolutely impossible to pass the Cloud Immortal Palace's assessment.
Ning Ruoxue estimated that if no one hindered her and the path was smooth, she might be able to climb to the position of the 500th step.
However, with so many competitors, it would be difficult for Ning Ruoxue to reach the 500th step... difficult!
Too difficult, almost impossible.
At this moment.
Xiao Chen had become the center of attention, having reached as far up as the 650th step!
Then.
700th step!
When Xiao Chen reached the 700th step, the entire venue fell silent, dead silent!
Behind him, the most anyone had reached was the 590th step, not even the 600th.
Yet Xiao Chen had reached the 700th step!
After reaching the 700th step, Xiao Chen stopped, suddenly turned around, and with a smile, looked at Lu Lingbo and asked, "Lingbo Senior Sister, if I surpass the 831st step smoothly, could you agree to my pursuit?"
Swish!
Swish!
Swish!
Countless eyes instantly fixed on Lu Lingbo's beautiful face, waiting for her answer.
"I refuse." Lu Lingbo replied lightly.
"Hahaha!"
At that moment, a laugh came, very old, appearing from the void, only the voice could be heard, without seeing the person.
"Xiao Chen, your talent is indeed extraordinary! If you can surpass the 831st step, it only proves that you are on par with Lingbo! But let me tell you, Lingbo is my direct disciple, and ordinary people aren't qualified to pursue her!"
After the elder's voice appeared.
Everyone in the venue was searching for the elder's presence.
However.
No one saw where the voice came from!
"Senior... what do you mean?" Xiao Chen furrowed his brow.
"Haha, I can give you a chance; if you can surpass the 900th step! I will allow you to pursue Lingbo, but whether you can win her over depends on your own fortune." The old voice continued.
"Really?" Xiao Chen's eyes lit up, a deep desire flashing in his gaze.
Lu Lingbo bit her red lips.
A stubbornness appeared on her exquisitely beautiful and pure face that seemed untouched by the human world, yet she could not defy her master's command, so she could only nod and say: "Okay."
"Buzz!"
Hearing Lu Lingbo's response, everyone present was excited!
Thrilled!
Envious!
Truly envious.
Xiao Chen actually had a chance to pursue Lu Lingbo, while they didn't even have a chance!
As long as there's a chance, there's hope, right?
For a moment, everyone looked at Xiao Chen with endless jealousy, deep jealousy!
"Good!"
Xiao Chen nodded affirmatively, responding in a word.
Then.
Accelerate!
Yes!
Xiao Chen actually accelerated.
One must know, when he ascended to the 700th step, the suppression he faced had already reached a terrifying realm, yet now Xiao Chen accelerated?
Damn!
Is this even human?
Not human at all!!!
"Whoosh!"
Xiao Chen's speed was almost as brisk as when he was on the 500th step.
One step per step!
One step, one breath!
"Tap, tap, tap!"
Xiao Chen's speed became faster and faster, as people watched in astonishment, he reached the 800th step in just 100 breaths, and successfully climbed.
Then.
Continue advancing!
810th step!
820th step!
830th step!
Surpassing Lu Lingbo's historical record.
The number of people surpassing 500 steps also increased more and more.
600...
700...
800...
900...
As many as 900 people, leaving only 100 spots, meaning that as long as the last 100 people surpass 500 steps, the quota of 1,000 people would be reached.
The remaining people would lose the qualification to enter the Cloud Immortal Palace.
"Haha! Lingbo, this young man is not bad, actually quite suitable for you." The elder hidden in the void transmitted with a smile.
"Master! I don't like him, he is too arrogant! Moreover, the kind of arrogance that sees no one else, knowing that there are too many geniuses in the Sumeru Continent, with such a personality, he could never go far in the Sumeru Continent." Lu Lingbo shook her head, transmitting.
"What's wrong with that, young people should be a bit aloof, if he were a coward, do you think he would be worthy of you?" The elder chuckled lightly, for some reason, the elder suddenly thought of Lin Fan and said, "Just like that Lin Fan, even if so many people cursed him, he didn't take any action, still standing there, who knows what he's waiting for! Now Xiao Chen has exceeded 800 steps! Once he surpasses 900 steps, it will even set a historical record in the Cloud Immortal Palace."
"Historical record... Xiao Chen wouldn't make it! As for that Lin Fan, I think he's a bit special." Lu Lingbo gently shook her head, expressing disbelief.
The difference in the Nine Treasures Tower within the first 500 steps isn't significant.
Starting from the 500th step, for every 100 steps further, the pressure doubles.
At the 700th step, doubles again!
At the 800th step, doubles again!
At the 900th step, doubles yet again!
This means that once you enter the 900th step, it doubles four times.
For example, at the 500th step, you bear one pound of power, at the 600th step, the power borne is two pounds, and at the 700th step is four pounds, 800th step is eight pounds, 900th step is sixteen pounds!
From the 500th step to the 900th step, that's a difference of sixteen times!
As for the 1000th step.
That's a legend!
Since the Cloud Immortal Palace was established, passing down for tens of billions of years, only four or five people have reached 1000 steps:
Lu Lingbo didn't believe she would see anyone reach the top in her lifetime.
"A bit special? I can't see where he's special at all. On the contrary, Xiao Chen is a fine prospect! The best prospect in recent hundreds of years, if nothing goes wrong, his future achievements are absolutely limitless, being with him is quite good for you." The elder chuckled lightly.
Lu Lingbo did not speak, remaining silent.
And at this moment.
Xiao Chen had already climbed to the 880th step.
Continuing his climb!
890th step!
900th step!
Successfully reached the 900th step.
After reaching the 900th step, Xiao Chen's body visibly trembled, a surge of heat flowed through his chest, and his internal organs quivered fiercely!
But.
After a moment of swaying, Xiao Chen steadied his figure and laughed, "Senior, I've reached the 900th step, can I pursue Senior Sister Lingbo now?"
"You may." A voice came from the void.
The whole venue erupted!
And at this time.
The number of people surpassing 500 steps also exceeded 990, leaving only the last 10 slots.
"Lin Fan... quick... hurry up! Only the last 10 slots remain... we... we don't have a chance anymore..."
Ning Ruoxue looked at the last slots, her beautiful eyes filled with despair, feeling unwilling, very unwilling, had she failed without even a chance to challenge?
