Amidst the thunderous applause, more than 70 young geniuses stepped onto the stage.
They were all wearing the same uniform that was provided by Darkness Port and stood on the stage in an orderly manner, emanating an astonishing aura.
After all, they were young and had the title of geniuses, so they were in high spirits.
When they stood on the stage, the cheers from the crowd almost broke the sky.
Many of them showed an impatient expression. If it were not for the fact that they were in Darkness Port and had to cooperate with the activities of the city, the young geniuses would not have wanted to stand in the middle of the crowd like monkeys.
Tang Ling was also among the crowd in an inconspicuous spot. Beside him were the siblings from the Ro family, who were the least favored in the competition.
After all, they were not geniuses nor were they famous. They were only qualified to participate in the Hell Ledge Challenge because of Tang Ling's request.
As for Tang Long, he was intentionally placed in the middle by all the young geniuses. Even though he was only wearing the same uniform, he was undoubtedly the most eye-catching one.
The Simpering Pierrot was trying his best to stir up the atmosphere. When the crowd reached its peak, he finally waved his hand and signaled the crowd to quiet down.
"I think everyone can't wait to see the match. I don't have anything to say.
The only thing I need to do is to announce the rules that Darkness Port has set for this competition. On the first day, everyone has to enter the Hell Ledge Challenge. After the first day, you can challenge whenever you want since the entire Hell Ledge Challenge will last for a few months. A good dish is never afraid of being late, am I right? "The Simpering Pierrot announced the rules of Darkness Port in a special tone.
The crowd was still in an uproar, but none of the young geniuses objected.
For the sake of the first day, all the young geniuses had to show off their strength.
After that, the young geniuses would be free to challenge however they wanted.
After all, they were young geniuses. They might not be growing every day, but they were growing every hour. After accumulating their strength, they could challenge again and it would be an exciting battle. Why would there be rules to restrict them?
The rules had been announced.
The Simpering Pierrot did not waste any more time. He raised his hand and a squad appeared right away. Before everyone's eyes, they pushed open an inconspicuous little door under the giant boulder.
It was the only entrance to Hell Ledge.
"Now, let's begin the challenge. Please enter. " The Simpering Pierrot bowed at all the young warriors. As the local geniuses that grew up in Darkness Port, the Dark Nine Feathers must be the first to set an example, so they jumped off the platform and entered the Hell Ledge Challenge Gate.
**
Tang Ling was one of the last few to enter Hell Ledge.
Before he entered the dungeon, he specifically told them to retreat if they could not hold on any longer. After all, there was still a long way to go, so there was no need for them to fight to the death on the first try. There was also no need for them to stand out.
As a matter of fact, Tang Ling did not have to worry about Ro Li.
After everything was settled, Tang Ling entered the Hell Ledge Challenge Door. Behind the door was a long and slightly damp corridor.
Walking in it, one could see that this corridor was actually built directly inside the cliff.
The entire Hell Ledge Challenge should be hidden in the cliff by the sea.
The corridor was more than a hundred meters long and at the end of it was another door. Unlike the other doors, this one was glowing in a mysterious halo in the shape of a vortex. Tang Ling might not know about the others, but a single glance at it reminded him of the halo in the ancient temple.
Is there a connection between the two?
However, he could not get an answer to the question within a short period of time. He paused in front of the halo door for half a second before he stepped into it without a second thought.
The moment he stepped through the door …
A mysterious voice echoed in Tang Ling's ears.
"A group of murderous demons is hiding in Gray Mist Street.
"No one knows what kind of creatures these demons are. Those who know are already dead.
However, there is only one path in front of you. You must go through this short passage that is less than 200 meters long.
"Clear the passage and you will get a D rating. Clear the passage and kill two or more murderous demons and you will get a C rating. Kill five or more murderous demons and you will get a B rating. Kill 15 murderous demons and you will get a A rating.
Kill all the murderous demons and you will get a S rating. Kill all the murderous demons in eight minutes and you will get a SS rating and trigger the SSS rating.
"The gray mist has appeared. Breathing and footsteps are hidden in the mist. It sounds scary! Keep it up, pitiful passerby. "
After the brief introduction, the mysterious voice vanished.
Just like what the voice said, a gray mist suddenly spread before Tang Ling's eyes. After the thin mist faded, a narrow and deep alley appeared before his eyes.
The fog thickened in an instant, and the messy breathing and footsteps could be heard from within the fog.
"Murderous demons?" A cold smile appeared on Tang Ling's face as he tilted his ears to listen to the messy sounds in the mist. Then, he drew the Grade A alloy longsword from his back and held the dagger in his hand as he sauntered into the street.
The moment he took his first step forward, a claw covered in moss and covered in black scales clawed at him.
As though he had a premonition, Tang Ling raised his sword and slashed the claw with a loud clang, producing a metallic clanking sound.
At the same time, Tang Ling twisted his body and launched a kick. A half-meter tall figure shrieked sharply and fell out of the mist.
Hmph, murderous demons!
Tang Ling did not even flinch. The dagger in his hand flew out and accurately stabbed one of the eyes of the figure that fell out of the mist.
He used his elbow to knock away the murderous demon whose claw was cut by the longsword. Then, he pounced forward and grabbed the handle of the dagger. With a hard twist, the murderous demon that was stabbed shrieked loudly and died under the dagger. It turned into a wisp of gray mist and vanished before Tang Ling's eyes.
Tang Ling did not even look up. He twisted his body again and fell backward. When his body touched the cold ground, he swung his longsword at the murderous demon.
Ugh! The murderous demon behind Tang Ling screamed in pain as the Grade A alloy longsword pierced its head.
However, Tang Ling had no intention of letting it go. Even though he was lying on the ground, he launched a kick at the murderous demon and sent it flying.
The moment the murderous demon was in mid-air, Tang Ling raised his sword and slashed the murderous demon in half.
It had been less than 30 seconds since Tang Ling entered Gray Mist Street.
He had killed two of the so-called murderous demons! If he wanted to dash out of the street that was less than 200 meters long, he could have done it.
In short, clearing the street and killing two murderous demons was already a C rating.
However, it was obvious that Tang Ling only had one requirement for himself — an SSS rating.
Therefore, without any pause, Tang Ling wielded his sword and continued forward. His faintly discernible figure in the mist was like a young demon god. It was the unique aura that Tang Ling had when he fought with his full strength, and it was on full display at that moment.
In less than 30 seconds, Tang Ling's battle was displayed on the giant monolith at the entrance of Hell Ledge.
Just like what the Simpering Pierrot had said, the monolith started to show the battles of the ten most outstanding young warriors.
The Hell Ledge Challenge was indeed ever-changing. On the ten monolith screens, each of the young warriors was facing a different scene.
When Tang Ling's battle was displayed, the Simpering Pierrot did not forget to explain excitedly, "Yo, yo, yo! Let's see how the famous Tang Feng's son doesn't disappoint!
"Look, it's only been 30 seconds and his battle is displayed before everyone's eyes. Tsk, tsk, tsk. It's Gray Mist Street … I wonder if anyone here knows about it? "
"Gray Mist Street?" Boss Huang was also on the spectator stand, but since he loved to enjoy himself, he would never sit in a normal seat. Instead, he chose a VIP room with a good seat.
Inside the room, other than Boss Huang, there were four other figures. One of them was glaring at Boss Huang with an unfriendly expression. It was Madam Qing, the lady owner of the Dreamy Visitor. The other one was Gu Dao, who was gnawing on a pig trotter with green beans. The other two were cloaked, so their faces could not be seen clearly.
All five of them were watching the battles on the big screen.
However, the battles of the others were not worth watching, so the five of them were watching Tang Ling and Tang Long's battle instead.
Indeed, because Tang Ling entered the Hell Ledge later, his battle had just started.
Tang Long was one of the first 20 to enter, so his battle had already appeared on the big screen.
Tang Ling's battle was Gray Mist Street.
The scenario that Tang Long encountered was one of the most classic and well-known scenarios in Hell Ledge's Hell difficulty — the Bloody Tower.
In terms of difficulty, the two scenarios were about the same.
However, in terms of how strange it was, Boss Huang took a sip of wine and purposely avoided Madam Qing's gaze. Instead, he stared at Tang Ling on the screen and muttered in a heavy voice, "Why is this kid so lucky? An SS rating is definitely not a problem, but an SSS rating … "
"I think there's a problem. Who asked him to meet Gray Mist Street? Logically speaking, this street shouldn't have appeared in the first challenge. " Gu Dao's beard was covered in grease. Before Boss Huang could finish, he already added, "You're right.
Madam Qing snorted and said, "Gray Mist Street shouldn't have appeared in the first trial. But should the Bloody Tower? "
Yes, the three stages of Hell Ledge were one difficulty level, and both Gray Mist Street and the Bloody Tower were infinitely close to the second difficulty level.
Basically, unless one was the unluckiest, it was impossible to encounter these two scenarios! Even if he could choose the Hell difficulty, the chances of encountering these two scenarios were as small as winning the lottery.
However, both Tang Ling and Tang Long had won the lottery at the same time. Was it just a coincidence?
At the same time, in another VIP room, a cloaked man with a strange physique and a brass mask was also watching the match quietly.
He was muttering to himself, "Gray Mist Street? Bloody Tower? Why not Blazing Path? Too bad! "
