Chapter 284 Climbing the Ladder

At noon, Longmen City was bustling with activity.

On the huge 999-step ladder that went straight up into the sky, there were already tens of thousands of people climbing up at the same time.

As time passed, the gap between the various levels of Star Card Masters on the Longmen Ladder had widened.

Under the suppression of the strange power on the ladder, the bronze level was basically distributed between dozens and two hundred steps, while the silver level was mostly three or four hundred steps.

And the gold level had generally reached more than five hundred steps!

"I can't hold on any longer, this is too tiring..."

"Ah!..."

"I can't do it anymore, Lao Feng, I'll go first..."

One after another, the bronze-level Star Card Masters fell from the ladder, and were wrapped in the dragon-shaped light of the ladder and landed steadily on the ground.

"The star power in my body has indeed improved. Damn, if I hold on for another twenty or thirty steps, I might be able to break through to the high bronze level!" A young man who had just fallen back to the ground looked up at the ladder in the sky, feeling extremely sorry.

Not only this young man, but all the star card masters who fell back from the ladder felt the same way.

Previously, they only thought about moving forward with all their strength on the ladder, but now that they have fallen back to the ground, they found that their cultivation has indeed improved a lot.

"There is only one chance. Those who have already fallen should move to the side and don't block others..." The Longmen disciples who are responsible for order in the Denglong Square kept calling out.

These people could only withdraw to the side and continue to observe the situation in the sky.

In addition to maintaining order, many Longmen disciples also kept an eye on the situation on the ladder.

The tasks of these Longmen disciples are also very simple, which is to keep an eye on the people who perform well on the ladder.

Whether it is the silver level that breaks through the 400th step or the gold level that breaks through the 700th step, they are all the best in each level and can try to contact and win over.

A newly promoted king-level force has a high growth potential and is quite attractive to many unorganized and powerless single star card masters.

At this time, Su Yuan also climbed the 500th step on the Longmen ladder!

The pressure from the ladder is getting bigger and bigger. Even if you are at the gold level, you must combine your physical body with star power to move forward under the pressure.

"Hu, hu..."

Huang Xiang leaned on his knees and panted heavily. The sweat on his body flowed down from his chin and arms.

"I, I'm almost at my limit. Don't worry about me. You... go first."

Five hundred steps, for Huang Xiang, who is a high-level silver, is indeed close to the limit.

So far, there are only two silver-level people who have reached the five hundred steps in front, at the 522nd and 538th steps respectively.

The two people are also sweating profusely at this moment, and the star power is surging in their bodies. They have already launched some kind of strengthening skills.

Because the star power is suppressed by the ladder, although the strengthening skills can be used, the effect is weakened a lot.

Obviously, it is with the strengthening skills that these two people can rush to the five hundred and twenty or thirty steps.

It's just that the ladder has to constantly consume physical strength and star power to resist the pressure. If the strengthening skills are launched again, it means the final sprint!

However, at this moment, it took the two of them a while to take another step. I'm afraid that the limit will be at most 20 steps.

Su Yuan saw Huang Xiang say this, and knew that he was putting pressure on Huang Xiang here, so he said: "Okay, we'll wait for you up there."

Huang Xiang pulled up the corners of his mouth and smiled hard: "I will...try my best!"

Su Yuan nodded and continued to move forward.

"Come on!"

Luo Bingtong waved his fist expressionlessly to cheer Huang Xiang up, and then followed Su Yuan and continued to move up.

"Su Yuan is fine, but even Bingtong is as perverted."

Seeing Su Yuan and Luo Bingtong walking slowly forward without blushing or panting, Huang Xiang couldn't help but smile bitterly and shook his head.

Then, Huang Xiang took a few deep breaths, and a bit of determination appeared in his eyes.

"Although it may be slower, I will try my best to catch up."

Thinking of this, Huang Xiang raised his heavy and trembling right foot and stepped forward again!

…

“Six hundred and sixty-six steps! The first six hundred and sixty-six steps appeared!”

On the Denglong Square, the star card masters who had been eliminated early on suddenly shouted.

“Who is it?”

“Let me see…it seems to be Wei Yong, the former head of the Tiger Power Hall of the White Elephant Sect, a veteran master of the high-level gold level.”

“Yes, it’s him. He has been leading the first echelon since the beginning, and now he is the first to reach the six hundred and sixty-sixth step. It’s amazing!”

“I just don’t know if he can reach the nine hundred and ninety-nine steps.”

“As far as I know, Wei Yong specializes in physical training, his star power is not weak, and he has strong pressure resistance. I feel he has a good chance.”

“…”

The 100th step of the Dragon Gate Ladder is a hurdle that will wipe out most of the bronze-level star card masters.

After that, the three hundred and thirty-three steps and the six hundred and sixty-sixth steps also have a huge increase in difficulty, approaching the limits of the silver and gold levels respectively.

At this moment, Wei Yong climbed the six hundred and sixty-sixth step, and his body suddenly sank. After a while, he adjusted himself and straightened his body again, and continued to move upward step by step.

However, the speed of advancement was obviously much slower than before, and it can be seen that he was struggling more.

Starting with Wei Yong, more and more gold-level masters broke through the 666th step, including Seth and Aleiya whom Su Yuan had met before.

Seth looked calm, but Aleiya's face was pale and she began to breathe heavily.

After all, the Dragon Gate Ladder does not look at your actual combat power, but only looks at your physical body and star power. Aleiya, who is only at the initial gold level, is naturally very strenuous.

"Aleiya, can you still hold on?" Seth asked in a low voice.

"Still... OK!" Aleiya bit her lips and looked up, "Finally, use the sacred enhancement, and it should be no problem to rush to the 700th step!"

"Okay." Seth nodded.

"Brother, you 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."

Aleiya nodded, knowing that it was true, so she slowed down a little and continued to move forward.

But Seth looked down somewhere, where two familiar figures were gradually approaching the 666th step from behind.

It was Su Yuan and Luo Bingtong.

"It's really easy, Su Yuan." Seth smiled, then retracted his gaze and followed Aleiya.

Su Yuan naturally noticed Seth's gaze, but he didn't pay much attention to it. After all, he was on the Longmen ladder now, and he would go down to talk about anything.

"666!"

Su Yuan stepped on the 666th step of the ladder with both feet, and immediately felt a force far beyond the previous one surging from the ladder under his feet.

His whole body shook slightly, and the star power in his body gushed out like a spring, constantly impacting the boundary of the star power cyclone.

The bottleneck that was originally very stable was now a little loose.

"There are still more than 300 steps. If we continue like this, we will have a chance to reach the higher level!" Su Yuan was slightly happy.

Turning his head to look at Luo Bingtong who had followed him to the 666th step, Su Yuan asked, "Bingtong, do you feel okay?"

But as soon as he asked, Su Yuan knew that he had asked in vain.

At this time, Luo Bingtong's face was normal, and there was no change from usual, as if she didn't feel any pressure...

"Yeah." Luo Bingtong replied.

Su Yuan nodded and continued to move forward with Luo Bingtong.

Before the two of them took a few steps, a strong wave of star power suddenly came from the front.

"Has anyone broken through?"

Su Yuan's heart moved, and he immediately looked up and looked forward.

It was a red-haired woman from Yanluo Country who had stepped onto the 700th step. She looked to be in her early thirties. At this time, waves of golden high-level star power fluctuations were constantly emanating from her body.

"I've been stuck at the middle level of gold for more than a year, and finally I've broken through!"

The red-haired woman was overjoyed. Even if it was a small bottleneck, it could take at least ten days and half a month, or at most several years.

And this time, with the help of the Longmen Sky 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, Lord Qin!"

The red-haired woman of Yanluo country bowed to the sky from a distance, and then continued to climb up.

And this red-haired woman was like a start button. On the nearly thousand steps of the Longmen Sky Ladder, gold-level, silver-level, bronze-level... one after another star card masters broke through.

The surging and dissipated star power turned into a large piece of auspicious clouds lingering on the Longmen Sky Ladder, adding a bit of mystery to this ladder that already went straight into the blue sky.

As time passed, the situation on the ladder became more and more stalemate.

People were constantly eliminated, and from time to time, people completed breakthroughs.

There are tens of thousands of people climbing the ladder, and at this moment, there are only three or four thousand people left on the entire ladder.

And so far, everyone is almost reaching their limit.

Above the 500th step, they are basically gold-level, and the gap is quite obvious.

Most of the gold-level beginners stop at the 600th step;

Some of the gold-level middle-level can go beyond the 666th step;

More than 90% of the gold-level high-level cannot break through the 800th step.

And among them, there are many who have already completed the breakthrough.

Now, let alone moving forward, it is difficult for these people to maintain their current level.

Under the pressure of hundreds of steps of the ladder, recovery is far behind consumption, and just standing in place will continue to consume physical strength and star power.

If you want to force the pressure and advance to another step, the physical strength and star power required are even more amazing.

In this case, if you want to climb a higher ladder before exhaustion, you must launch a final sprint.

So, some gold-level people who have reached a high place have started to exert their full strength one after another!
