Stage 12, Bronzemen Alley.
In this Hell Ledge Challenge, as the merciless dividing line, a bunch of young geniuses were finally eliminated.
There were almost 80 young geniuses in the competition, but 28 of them were eliminated.
More than a third of them were eliminated.
From the audience's point of view, the outcome was shocking enough. When they saw the sadness, unwillingness, and loneliness in the eliminated young geniuses' eyes, they could only lament that they were born in the wrong era. Even in the previous generation, the eliminated young geniuses would be considered as the top geniuses. They would be the top geniuses, and there would not be more than 10 of them.
Unfortunately, it was just a 'what if'. The current era was strange to the point that people instinctively avoided the starry sky!
Like the audience in the arena, as the first batch to experience it, they no longer thought about it and focused on the competition.
Regardless of whether the world would collapse tomorrow, at least the competition today would be entertaining, would it not?
There were even two monstrous geniuses, Tang Long and Tang Ling.
Ro Xin was eliminated.
As expected, no matter how hard she tried, she still could not pass Bronzemen Alley without being strong enough.
Ro Xin was not depressed nor was she disappointed.
As a doctor, he was very satisfied to be able to achieve such results.
As a healer, her biggest wish was to not embarrass Tang Ling.
She was not one of the young geniuses. It was Tang Ling who insisted that she and her brother come to Hell Ledge Challenge. In Tang Ling's words, it was a rare opportunity for them to not care about the results and just train themselves.
How could she not care? Deep in her heart, she still wanted to stand beside him. At least, she could not be a burden in the eyes of others.
Would Ro Xin be a burden to Tang Ling? No way!
After this Hell Ledge Challenge, Ro Xin had become the top young healer in the eyes of all the major factions.
Healers were rare to begin with, and Ro Xin's top-tier healer was almost one of a kind, if not for some secluded factions.
Many major factions were calculating the price they had to pay to recruit Ro Xin.
It was a very important matter because taking Ro Xin under his wing would mean taking Ro Li under his wing.
The siblings were very valuable, but in total, Ro Xin's value was undoubtedly higher.
Ro Xin did not know what the major factions were planning. She was only slightly satisfied when she saw a few of the Stardust Sixteen get eliminated.
This was a result that made people sigh.
Compared to the True Capital Seven and the Dark Nine Feathers, the Stardust Sixteen were undoubtedly in the limelight.
However, no one from the True Capital Seven or Dark Nine Feathers was disqualified at stage 12, but four of the Stardust Sixteen were disqualified.
Two of them had not even passed the 12th stage, but they were the youngest of the Stardust Sixteen, so it was understandable.
There were two more who fell at the thirteenth stage, including Draconic Twelve.
As a matter of fact, the Stardust Sixteen were not that embarrassing in comparison. After all, they had the advantage in numbers, and the ones who were eliminated were the most immature.
However, no matter what the reason was, the Stardust Sixteen's reputation would be suppressed by the True Capital Seven and the Dark Nine Feathers. Reality was cruel, and a single failure could change a lot of things.
Draconic Twelve wrapped himself in his cloak and lowered his head, looking extremely disappointed at the result.
In fact, he didn't care at all.
He just looked at the expressionless Tang Long on the screen, his heart burning with anger.
Why? Why would Tang Long lose to Tang Ling in the 12th stage?
Judging from the results, both of them had gotten SSS, but that was because the highest rating in Hell Ledge was only SSS. Otherwise, Draconic Twelve had no doubt that Tang Ling would have gotten SSSS.
Tang Ling was indeed a monster. Therefore, Draconic Twelve had to die.
**
Tang Long was calm.
He calmly watched the results of the match. Tang Ling was faster than him, and he had broken Tang Feng's record.
He calmly turned on the equipment in the resting lounge and listened to the people talking about Tang Ling. Tang Ling's result was much better than his own. Microsenses, Master Tactician …
He calmly tapped on the replay on the screen and watched Tang Ling pass the stage carefully.
The people felt that Tang Long was elegant, elegant, and steady. He did not have the bearing of a great general in the challenge, but it was vividly displayed at this moment.
However, only Tang Long knew he had to maintain his composure.
His heart was burning, to the point that he coughed up a mouthful of blood. If he showed any extreme expression or movement, he might spit the blood out.
Showing that he was provoked by Tang Ling to the point that he spat blood in front of everyone? He could not accept it.
Therefore, all he could do was try his best to remain calm. He sat properly, straightened his back, and crossed his arms in front of his chest to not tremble.
One minute? Two minutes? Tang Long tried his best to swallow the blood that gushed up his throat bit by bit.
Finally, Tang Long took a deep breath and moved his eyes away from the screen. He calmly tapped on the service button and ordered a glass of water.
Soon, a tray popped up in the room with a glass of warm water on it. Tang Long picked up the glass, drank half of it, and put it down. He then walked to the entrance where the challenge continued.
Tang Ling had been waiting. When he saw Tang Long walk to the entrance of stage 13, he stood up.
The crowd was excited. The battle between the two geniuses had begun again.
No one noticed that in the glass that Tang Long put down, there was a faint red liquid floating in the water before it sank to the bottom and disappeared.

The Hell Ledge Challenge continued.
However, from stage 12 onwards, the difficulty of each stage increased.
The increasing difficulty was an absolute test of one's strength, but compared to stage 12, it was not as unique.
Many of the geniuses could no longer hide their trump cards. After all, they had chosen to challenge as a group. Their only goal was to move forward. The more they moved forward, the more glory they could gain.
The young geniuses could not admit defeat.
Ro Li was in stage 14. Nine puppets floated around him. Although they were only Level 1 puppets, they were already the best of the best.
Even so, Ro Li still felt strenuous, very strenuous!
He was still holding on. If he could clear stage 14, what about stage 15?
Also in stage 14 were the little peacock prince and Quentin.
Compared to Ro Li, they were not much better.
Abu Shek's little peacock had transformed into a giant peacock and fought alongside Abu Shek as his battle pet. When it transformed, some of Abu Shek's talents in his bloodline would be activated.
However, his peacock battle pet was still in its infancy, so its abilities were limited and the time it could transform was limited.
What about himself? Since he was still a Purple Moon Warrior, the power that he could provide to the little peacock was limited. He could only transform it twice at most.
As for Quentin? He took out his third vial of specially made blood and drank it. Red veins popped up on both sides of his cheeks.
Quentin's family's talents all came from blood. They were not vampires, but they could obtain abilities from blood or extract abilities from it.
Common blood was not that useful to them.
If they wanted to unleash their true power, they would need some special blood that had been mixed.
Quentin had three vials of this special blood in his body and each one was stronger than the last. As a matter of fact, it was not that the family did not have more powerful special blood, but Quentin was still a Purple Moon Warrior, so he could not handle the extra powerful blood.
Similarly, if he could clear stage 14, what about stage 15?
The number of young geniuses in the competition had been reduced by more than half. 28 of them had been eliminated in stage 12 and a dozen more had been eliminated in stage 13. The numbers did not include those who were still struggling in stage 13 and seemed like they could not hold on any longer.
Once the elimination began, the process was extremely fast.
Were there no easier young geniuses? As a matter of fact, there were!
For example, the North, South, East, West, and West Warriors. Although they had used part of their trump cards in stage 14, it was obvious that they still had strength to spare, so they should have no problem clearing the stage.
They could look forward to stage 15, where they would reveal all their trump cards and there might be a chance for them to clear the stage.
Then there was Han Xing. The sloppy guy had once again proven how powerful a sword cultivator was!
Even though his basic skills might be a little weaker, when he cultivated his sword to the extreme and combined it with his sword intent, his attack would be considered the strongest among the young geniuses!
He would undoubtedly clear stage 14 and he would be able to fulfill the expectations of the people for him to clear stage 15.
However, the people were still anticipating Tang Ling and Tang Long the most.
Seven minutes later, they cleared stage 13.
Eleven minutes later, they cleared stage 14.
Tang Ling and Tang Long went through two more stages. Maybe because of the excitement of stage 12, Tang Long took the record for both stages.
Tang Long led Tang Ling by 23 seconds in stage 13.
Tang Long led Tang Ling by 17 seconds in stage 14.
Similarly, neither of them seemed to have used their trump cards. At least, the people did not see Tang Ling and Tang Long transform or use their most powerful weapons.
What other trump cards did they have? Until now, the people had no idea.
Tang Long's lead in the two stages was considered to have redeemed some of his glory, but microsensing and heaven-defying tactics were not something that could be erased with just two stages.
The only thing that could be redeemed was the Blazing Road in stage 15! It was a stage that even Tang Feng could not clear.
Therefore, after the 14th stage was cleared, Tang Ling and Tang Long tacitly chose to rest in the resting lounge.
However, for some reason, neither of them infused pure energy into the Blazing Road. It seemed like it was not time yet.
What was the Blazing Road like?
The people were getting more and more excited, and at that moment, someone finally opened stage 15, the Blazing Road.
The person who opened stage 15 was Ro Li! He was a dark horse, and in the end, he proved himself to be a dark horse with his strength.
After all, the glory of being the first to open the Blazing Road belonged to him.
