Chapter 1656: Chapter 1655: Brutal Elimination
Those few students were clearly isolated.
Fang Yu turned to the administrator and said, "I’ll go in alone, you don’t need to accompany me."
"But according to our regulations, you are our VIP, and we must provide exclusive service to you."
"It’s fine, I’m giving you money and you’re not willing?"
The administrator chuckled.
"I was just afraid you’d complain."
"It’s fine, I said I won’t complain. Besides, I don’t like having people around me. Just go back to your work, I’ll handle the testing myself. There are so many people there, can you really think I’d get lost?"
"You have a point. Then, Mr. Fang, please proceed on your own. If you need anything, feel free to reach out to me. I’ll be there immediately!"
"Go on."
After saying this, the administrator turned around and left.
Fang Yu entered the entrance of the heavenly ladder alone.
At this moment.
Those few students who had previously mocked Fang Yu walked over, slowly, with unpleasant expressions on their faces.
These few students walked up to Fang Yu.
Fang Yu looked back at them.
"Is there anything you want to say?" Fang Yu didn’t feel like talking to them. Their demeanor suggested provocation. If they continued, he wouldn’t hesitate to have the administrator kick them out.
"Um, I’m sorry. I was blind just now. Please forgive us, sir."
"Yes, yes, I was blind before, and my mouth was running off. Please tolerate us."
Fang Yu just looked at them indifferently, did not argue with them, nor did he speak, and then turned to leave the scene.
The other students and some idle people from society began to walk inside.
He knew that at the end of this road was the path to the heavenly ladder.
The entire passage took about 10 minutes to walk.
Everyone stopped.
At this moment they saw a daily administrator at the entrance.
"Everyone listen, you can choose to test alone or with others. However, I suggest a group test because you’ll feel less pressure and can pass more steps."
"We’ll go first!"
Many people present were already grouped, and those students knew each other and were from the same dorm, so naturally they tested together.
Many were reluctant to test first and wanted to watch how others passed the test, so they let those eager ones go ahead.
About 5 people, all students, walked into the entrance.
Simultaneously, the scene of their heavenly stepping was broadcast on the wall in front.
Everyone turned to look at the big screen.
"They started the heavenly ladder. I wonder how many levels they can reach?"
"I bet even the 50th level would be hard for them."
"Is it that exaggerated? They are students with decent cultivation, surely they can surpass level 50."
Fang Yu watched from the corner.
As they discussed, the 5 students had already stepped onto the ladder.
The first 10 levels appeared easy.
At the 20th level, their faces paled slightly. Their steps became noticeably slower, causing surprise among the inexperienced onlookers. Many present had never climbed the heavenly ladder, and today they came to test themselves, hoping to see how far they could get. Naturally, they were hesitant to be the first to go.
The sudden attempt by others allowed them the chance to see what it was like.
They were unprepared for how difficult it was to step the heavenly ladder.
On the 30th level, the 5 students suddenly couldn’t hold on, sprawling awkwardly, tumbling down like an invisible energy was blowing them off, pushing them all back down.
Everyone was dumbfounded looking at the screen.
On the screen, their tumbling looked baffling, but those knowledgeable about the heavenly ladder understood that it was significantly more challenging than it appeared; it required special abilities.
Fang Yu knew this well, having climbed the heavenly ladder before.
"See, they couldn’t even reach the 50th level."
"Wow, you were right. They’re so useless."
"It is indeed difficult."
Next, the second group went up.
Again, 5 students.
Seeing these 5 students ascend, Fang Yu felt curious.
He turned to a nearby social idle person.
"Why 5 people?"
That idle person knew Mr. Fang was notable, having spent considerable money to become a VIP member.
Thus, he was respectful.
"The heavenly ladder allows 5 people to share the burden; over 5 and the space gets too crowded, affecting the journey."
"I see."
"Brother, are you also going to climb the heavenly ladder?"
"I’m just here to have fun."
"You don’t look much older than those students. Why are you alone?"
"Aren’t you alone as well?"
"We had no choice but to be alone. You, sir, seem exceptional, a top VIP member, wouldn’t it be easy to gather 5 people?" The person said with a smile.
"You guys could form a team here too."
"It’s theoretically possible to team up now, but social idles are often cautious. There’s been incidents before where someone, afraid their teammate would surpass them, kicked them off mid-journey. Teaming up with familiar faces is more reliable."
"You have a point."
"Brother, you seem nice, how about we team up?"
"No need, I plan to try it alone."
"Alone? That’s very hard; you saw earlier, 5 people only made it 30 levels. What’s your cultivation level? Have you reached Lower God status?"
"Barely."
"Just a heads up, don’t force yourself. It’s best to team up. Without reaching the Lower God stage, you’ll just waste your time going alone, unlikely to reach 100 levels, which is needed for rewards and honors. Don’t miss the chance; over 100 levels means huge rewards, big honors, and further rewards every additional 50 levels."
"I prefer solitude."
Seeing Fang Yu unwilling to team up, the person didn’t press further.
"Alright."
