Three federal days were almost over in the blink of an eye.
There were only five hours left.
The young man with a divine constitution stopped at the 198th handle; he was trembling, as if he were fighting something fiercely.
He was still at the top of the ladder, which wasn't much different from what the Ascendant State experts and the top hundred contestants had expected. Therefore, nobody was surprised; they were only surprised that he had reached the 198th handle!
It had to be known that the other contestants' stacks were basically in the 70-90 range. This was a full 100 stacks higher!
The second was a golden-haired young man; he was as handsome as an elf, but he was only at the 173rd handle.
The third one was at the 165th handle.
The gap between them was quite obvious. They would have been quite eye-catching if the young man with a divine constitution hadn't been there.
The other geniuses with Ascendant State potential were around the 150th handle. Su Jin 'er was at the 157th handle. She looked rather solemn at the moment, not as relaxed as she usually was; cold sweat was dripping from her forehead. She seemed to be having a hard time climbing that far. She would probably only be able to reach the 160th handle in the end.
Apart from the Ascendant State geniuses, the Dragon Emperor, the Thousand Leaves Holy Lady and Linghu Jian were in the third echelon; they had all reached the 100th handle.
"It's only the 90th handle. I can't go any further."
"Our limits are just his starting point. I'm sick of it."
"The increase in difficulty is too great. He's a hundred handles behind us. Damn it!"
"I thought I was just a supporting character, but he left us in the dust. I've become the foundation!"
Many people complained; they were desperate after seeing the young man with a divine constitution's daunting heights; the gap was so huge that they began to doubt their own existence.
"It seems that this kid will be the champion of this year's competition."
On the balcony — all the Ascendant State experts fixed their eyes on the young man with a divine constitution; they were all looking forward to seeing that he was getting closer and closer to the 200th handle.
"The guy in second place seems to be the reincarnated phoenix. I heard that he has pure phoenix blood."
"What a shame that he has a Reincarnation Divine Constitution. Such a top divine constitution rarely appears in hundreds of years."
"Interesting. It's almost over. That kid is still enjoying himself."
"Huh?"
Following someone's reminder, many people turned their gazes over and saw a young man climbing at the 110th handle. This height wasn't worth paying attention to, but with this young man's previous performance, even if he didn't know how high he could reach, he could easily reach the 150th handle. If he worked hard, he could even reach the 170th handle.
And yet, he was still lingering at the 110th handle.
Is he hiding his combat ability?
But he had already been exposed.
Also, the purpose of the competition was to reveal his reputation and hide his combat ability.................
Many Ascendant State experts were surprised; they didn't know what the kid was thinking. There were only five hours left. Even if he started sprinting, how much could he catch up? Time was of the essence!
........
....................................................................
......
He clearly had the strength to make it into the top ten, or even the top five. But now, it would be difficult for him to even make it into the top ten!
You won't get a rematch if you miss it!
"Does he think he can make it to the top in the end? He's too confident!" Ciro regretted that he couldn't teach Su Ping a lesson.
It seemed that Su Jin 'er was more obedient and well-behaved.
He would probably vomit blood if neither of them made it to the top ten.
"Nice to meet you."
On the ladder — Su Ping was quite surprised to see Linghu Jian and Dragon Emperor who were about to surpass him. Those two were truly lovey-dovey. They had been chasing each other in the Illusionary God Mysterious Realm, and yet they were so close to each other there.
"Huh? You're here?"
Both of them were stunned to see Su Ping. Their eyes widened.
Why is Su Ping still here at such a critical moment?
They had been too focused on dealing with the attacks on the stairs to pay attention to Su Ping. In their minds, Su Ping had been wandering around at the bottom of the stairs at the beginning, so he must have rushed up at the end.
Yet, Su Ping had only just reached them when the competition was almost over?
"Brother Su, aren't you going to make it to the top ten?"
Linghu Jian couldn't help but ask.
He had always been a proud and taciturn man, but he couldn't help but ask Su Ping.
Su Ping shook his head.
"You're giving up?" Dragon Emperor was shocked too. He had the strength to make it to the top ten.
"I want to be the champion," said Su Ping.
"…"
Both of them were speechless.
"I'm almost ready. I'll be on my way," said Su Ping with a smile.
Both of them smiled bitterly. They couldn't catch up with him even if they started chasing him.
However, they weren't as strong as Su Ping and couldn't teach him anything. They could only nod and say, "Good luck."
Su Ping smiled and climbed forward. After the previous experiments, he had mastered the method to store the comprehension of the rules in his body.
After the sprint was over, he would concentrate on the comprehension.
Calculating the time, it was indeed a little tight.
Su Ping didn't waste any more time and quickly began to climb.
Whoosh!
Su Ping shook his hands and quickly jumped to the top of the ladder. Suddenly, the power of the rules attacked him. However, before the rules could condense and take form, Su Ping suddenly released a huge force. His eyes were wide open like an angry Buddha. With a bang, the violent willpower and the rules blended together and destroyed the power.
Before the destructive power dispersed, Su Ping used the big palm formed by the rules to scoop it up and retract it back into his body.
Then, he continued to climb.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Su Ping's body was as strong as a monkey's. He was climbing straight up the stairs. Unlike the others, he didn't jump over several stairs in one go. However, he was still moving at a frightening speed.
It had to be noted that he was at a height of more than 110 ladders, and the attackers were all in the advanced phase of the Star State!
Su Ping stopped at each ladder for no more than ten seconds. It seemed that he only paused for a brief moment before he resumed his climb.
In the blink of an eye, Su Ping had reached the 120th ladder.
The ladders were several meters apart. He was dozens of meters ahead of Linghu Jian and the Dragon Emperor.
"Well …"
Linghu Jian and the Dragon Emperor raised their heads, only to be dumbfounded. The Thousand Leaves Holy Lady and the others who were on another ladder were also stunned.
It was extremely difficult for them to climb one ladder at such a height; they had to try their best to deal with the attacks. Yet, Su Ping had resolved all of them?
Su Ping's sudden burst of strength and rapid sprint attracted a lot of attention. Some of the people on higher floors lowered their heads and looked down. Some of them were surprised and enlightened when they saw that it was Su Ping.
They were surprised that Su Ping was still below their feet. Many of them knew that Su Ping was definitely capable of reaching the 150th ladder.
"That guy …"
Su Jin 'er also noticed Su Ping. She was quite concerned about Su Ping. After all, he was a real genius, unlike the other "rogues" there.
"He's only just started sprinting. He's too arrogant." Su Jin 'er frowned. Su Ping didn't strike her as arrogant at all, except for his straightforwardness. She didn't expect that he would be as arrogant as the other geniuses.
That was a fatal flaw for geniuses; many of them had perished because of it.
"Look, the kid is starting to sprint."
On the balcony — some Ascendant State experts immediately noticed Su Ping. After all, Su Ping's performance in the earlier screening had been amazing. Apart from the unreasonable young man with a divine constitution, Su Ping's performance was definitely among the top three.
"He's only just started. It's too late."
The other Ascendant State experts noticed it too, but they all shook their heads.
He was too confident.
That wasn't a good thing. After all, overconfidence could make a person stupid.
Su Ping might have had a chance to reach the top three if he had continued sprinting. However, it would be difficult for him to reach the top five, or even the top ten!
Ciro almost burst into tears of joy when he saw Su Ping finally take action. However, his heart became heavy when he heard what the other Ascendant State experts said; he knew that they were right. He regretted that he hadn't taught the kid a lesson earlier, which would have made him too arrogant during the screening. It was true that he couldn't afford to be careless when dealing with arrogant geniuses!
He was blaming himself. He decided that he would teach Su Ping a lesson after everything was over. Otherwise, Su Ping would suffer even more in the future!
Su Ping had already reached the 130th handle at that moment.
He didn't slow down; he was still moving at ten seconds per handle. He had already advanced ten handles in only a minute and a half.
"This kid is indeed capable of making it to the top five. Unfortunately, he started too late."
"He's quite talented to be able to keep sprinting at such a high speed."
"Unfortunately, it's much more difficult to reach the 150th handle than before."
Many Ascendant State experts shook their heads even harder.
He could have made it to the top five, yet he chose to waste his time. It was truly regrettable.
Su Ping's sprinting attracted more and more people's attention. Many of the geniuses down below were shocked; they were already reaching their limits and were struggling to climb. However, Su Ping was climbing above them as easily and quickly as if he were a normal mountain. How brutal!
"He's almost at the 140th handle. It's only been a few minutes …"
Dragon Emperor, Linghu Jian and the others stopped and looked at Su Ping in a daze. Su Ping was too fast for them to move their eyes away.
They had thought that it would take Su Ping hours to reach the 150th handle. Little did they expect that the 150th handle would be so close to Su Ping after only a few minutes.
The two of them looked at each other. They suddenly understood why Su Ping was so reckless.
"I wonder if he'll make it in time." Linghu Jian was worried. Although he had barely talked to Su Ping, he felt that he had met a confidant. He hoped that Su Ping would win, not someone from another galaxy.
After a moment of silence, Dragon Emperor suddenly said in a low voice, "Have you noticed? He's climbing faster than that guy."
Linghu Jian was stunned; his pupils contracted.
Su Ping slowed down after reaching the 140th handle; it took him half a minute to reach each handle. Even so, his speed was still horrifying; many Ascendant State experts stopped doubting him.
"He's so fast!"
"How long has it been? If this goes on, he'll reach the 150th handle in less than ten minutes? "
"He's already caught up after wandering for such a long time. That guy …"
Ciro was stunned too. He thought that Su Ping wouldn't make it in time, but Su Ping was already catching up to him.
Is that why he's so confident?
He suddenly became nervous and hopeful. If things went on like that, Su Ping would have a high chance of making it to the top ten, or even the top three!
Ten minutes later —
Su Ping reached the 150th handle.
He had already run into a few other geniuses with Ascendant State potential.
Su Ping ignored them and continued climbing quickly.
Su Ping felt that the laws were even more intense after reaching that place. He felt that he was in the fifth space, where the laws were just as intense; it was easy for him to have an epiphany.
Su Ping's eyes glittered; he was even more convinced that the Heavenly Path Mountain's test was a reward for the contestants!
However, the reward could only be claimed if one was strong enough.
The attacks at the 150th handle were even sharper and more varied. Some of them were attacks of pure laws; they were almost complete and were already at the peak of the Star State.
There were also mental attacks, mental intrusions, and terrifying external pressure, which could inflict serious damage on the body.
Su Ping took a deep breath and unleashed his astral power. The Astral Painting was activated, and the ultimate killing power was melted into his laws and will, cutting through everything like a sharp sword.
Whoosh!
Su Ping didn't slow down at all, but the aura he released was getting more and more intense. The other contestants on the ladders could sense the exuberant astral power inside Su Ping's body.
Ten minutes later, Su Ping saw Su Jin 'er.
However, he was fully focused on climbing at the moment, unlike before when he would greet acquaintances along the way.
Su Jin 'er's eyes glittered when she saw Su Ping pass by as if he didn't see her at all; all he could see was the staircase.
Is this guy so focused that he doesn't even care about women?
She curled her lips; she was even more appreciative of him.
Very soon, Su Ping reached the 160th handle.
It had only been half an hour since he started, and he was already in ninth place!
"Good lord, he's in the top ten!"
"How long has it been? That's unbelievable!"
"He's still moving so fast after the 150th handle. He's also a monster!"
All the Ascendants on the platform were surprised. They had thought that Su Ping wouldn't be able to reach the top in time, but he had done it in half an hour.
There were still four hours to go. Given Su Ping's current speed, it was very likely that he would make it to the top three!
