Chapter 589: Chapter 209: Ancient Battlefield Ruins (Request for Monthly Tickets)_3
He couldn’t fully trust the guy in front of him, but Yan Susen was meticulously thoughtful, so there wasn’t too much to worry about.
“Go that way!” Lu Ziye glanced around and quickly pointed out the direction of the Soul Suppressing Ladder, “Over there, you can see a valley a few miles away.”
“Alright.” Lin Su nodded at Yan Susen and rapidly collaborated with Qiuqiu, striding through the air toward that direction.
As Lin Su departed, Lu Ziye looked at Yan Susen with a sly smile, “Brother Yan, how about we delve a bit deeper together?”
“I’m telling you, don’t try any tricks,” Yan Susen snorted softly, “I still don’t fully trust you.”
“How could I possibly resort to tricks?” Lu Ziye patted his chest, wide-eyed with an expression of hurt innocence, “I, Lu Ziye, am nicknamed ‘Honest Young Master,’ I never play tricks!”
...
Yan Susen’s face darkened, “Let’s go. We’ll head to the area around the fourth level of the Nayuan Realm first, and as for whether to go deeper, we’ll see.”
“No problem!” Lu Ziye chuckled and pulled out another map from his bosom, “Brother Yan, let’s take this path…”
Yan Susen glanced at the map and couldn’t help but suck in a breath of cold air.
The map was different from the one he held in his hand.
His map only recorded the location of this Ancient Battlefield Ruins.
But the map Lu Ziye held was a detailed chart of the entire Ancient Battlefield Ruins!
A detailed map of an Opportunity Land within the elite fighters’ battlefield!
Such an item was not something one could obtain easily.
Just who was this guy?
Yan Susen looked at Lu Ziye seriously, his previous underestimation of the plump man turning into a newfound sense of importance.
…
For Lin Su, who was making use of Guardian Beast Co-operation, a distance of several miles was nothing.
After only a few minutes, following the direction Lu Ziye had indicated, he found a very obvious valley.
Seeing the stairs that stretched inside the valley, Lin Su knew he hadn’t gone the wrong way.
This piece of the Ancient Battlefield Ruins had stood here for a long time, and naturally, many elite fighters were aware of it.
More than just Lin Su and his companions were capable of coming here.
On the way here, he had already encountered two or three elite fighters entering the ruins and battling fierce spirits.
And in this valley, there were even more elite fighters.
On the Soul Suppressing Ladder, there were more than a dozen people striving to climb upwards, and below the ladder, there were even more waiting their turn.
Seeing this scene, Lin Su sighed softly.
They, hailing from the Great Yan Kingdom, were completely unfamiliar with the various opportunities within the battlefield of the elite fighters, having only a rough map of the entire battlefield.
Moreover, many empires send large numbers of elite fighters to the major competitions every cycle, not only boasting a greater number of participants but also wielding more powerful elite fighters.
These empires could explore parts of the secret realms thoroughly and bring back information after the major competitions.
The source of this c𝐨ntent is freёwebnovel.com.
Thus, the next batch of elite fighters entering had a smoother time obtaining the opportunities within the already explored secret realms, gaining more advantages early on.
Like a snowball rolling, their advantage grew bigger with each cycle.
In this repeating cycle, the gap between empires and their subordinate nations naturally widened.
Landing calmly in full view of everyone, Lin Su did not disengage the Guardian Beast Co-operation and just stood quietly in front of the Soul Suppressing Ladder.
Seeing Lin Su’s arrival, the expressions of those present varied.
Before long, someone recognized his identity, causing a buzz of quiet conversations to spread rapidly through the crowd.
Regarding those murmurs, Lin Su didn’t pay too much attention, his gaze calmly on the people climbing the steps.
He decided to first watch how others were doing it.
On the stairs, there happened to be a martial artist whose strength wasn’t very strong, around the Nayuan Realm triple strength, who was now standing at the height of the ninth layer, attempting to climb to the tenth.
Surroundings looked empty, yet the martial artist’s waist was already slightly bent, and from his strained appearance, it seemed like he was contending against some sort of pressure.
Was this the suppressing force Lu Ziye spoke of?
Lin Su understood.
Eventually, that martial artist withstood the pressure, firmly stepping out and setting foot on the tenth step.
At that moment, his body completely bent over, with a faint trembling, he was clearly struggling against the invisible force of suppression.
Finally, he let out a fierce shout, placing his other foot up as well.
Even though his waist was completely bent, he finally stood firm.
As he steadied himself on the tenth layer, a stream of light quickly emerged from nowhere, rushing straight towards the center of his forehead, merging into it and then disappearing without a trace.
Moments later, the man laughed heartily, excitement written all over his face as he gave up on climbing further, hurrying down the stairs, “A sixth-grade one! Finally no more low third-grade trash!”
Lin Su’s expression turned slightly odd.
He didn’t move, continuing to observe the others who were climbing the stairs.
After a while, Lin Su summarized some rules that Lu Ziye hadn’t mentioned from what he observed and the quiet discussions happening around him.
This Soul Suppressing Ladder, it seemed, every nine steps constituted a cycle.
After every nine steps, the pressure would suddenly increase upon stepping onto a new step.
For example, from the first to the ninth step, the pressure would increase steadily.
The pressure would surge suddenly going from the ninth to the tenth step.
From the tenth to the eighteenth step, the increase would be steady again.
And from the eighteenth to the nineteenth step, the pressure would surge once more.
At the same time, every time the pressure surged, it seemed one could obtain better martial techniques, as if the probability suddenly went up.
Not only that, but he seemed to have underestimated the intensity of this pressure.
Until now, not a single person in the area had managed to reach beyond one hundred steps.
He saw several strong individuals at the Nayuan Realm sextuple strength, yet they still stopped before the hundredth step.
Keep in mind, this Soul Suppressing Ladder has nearly a thousand steps.
While Lin Su was observing the climbers, the people waiting below the stairs also learned of Lin Su’s situation through their discussions.
Although they didn’t know what a Beast Tamer like Lin Su was doing here, their looks towards Lin Su were somewhat meaningful.
This group of people was not the same as the previous ones from Moonbow City.
They hadn’t seen Lin Su in action.
Now, they were quite curious to know whether Lin Su’s strength was as formidable as the legends suggested.
Under their curious and somewhat amused scrutiny, Lin Su, who had been watching for quite some time, finally took a step forward.
He stepped onto the first level of the Soul Suppressing Ladder.
