Chapter 396: Chapter 272: Heavenly Ladder Record, A Prominent Tree in the Forest Will Surely Be Blown Down by the Wind

“Brother Wang, Mr. Situ, this is where you’re wrong.

How could you leave us out of such fun?”

Just as Bai Bufan and Situ Jin were confronting each other,

suddenly, several figures leapt from the crowd and landed beside them.

They were also a few young people with strong presences, each with a unique demeanor and outstanding appearance.

One could tell at a glance that they were disciples from Major Sects.

Sure enough, upon seeing those few people, the crowd burst into another round of exclamations.

“It’s the other members of the Central State Ten Outstanding!”

“What’s going on, did they agree to climb the Heavenly Ladder together today?”

“Now, there truly is a spectacle to watch!”

“In the Central State Ten Outstanding, the ranking has never been in any particular order, could it be that this time, they’re going to sort it out among themselves?”

“What a trip this has turned out to be, never expected to witness such an exciting scene!”

…

The crowd below was buzzing, stirred with excitement.

On the white jade stairs of the Heavenly Ladder, Bai Bufan and Situ Jin were also taken aback.

“You all came too?”

“Of course, with the changes in heaven and earth, Holy Mountain being the center of the world, it’s bound to be lively, how could we possibly not come?”

“Brother Bai, Mr. Situ, the two of you competing alone seems a bit too dull, why not let us join the fun?”

“It’s rare for us, the Ten Outstanding, to be all together today, why not just compete together?”

“Not bad, those two are already ahead of us, if we don’t make an effort now, I’m afraid we’ll be left far behind.”

…

“Is it them? I didn’t expect that the Ten Outstanding would all come, this is the first time since that title came out.”

Seeing the figures suddenly leap up, Lin Zhirui was slightly taken aback.

“They all came?” Wei Zian inquired, “But aren’t there only seven people up there, aren’t three still missing?”

“Originally, the Central State Ten Outstanding consisted of ten people, but half a year ago, one of them met with an accident, dying unexpectedly, naturally unable to attend.

Two others recently broke through to the Innate Realm, and have automatically dropped off the list.

So now, only those seven remain of the Ten Outstanding,” Lin Zhirui explained.

“Advanced to the Innate Realm?” Lu Qing suddenly looked at him with a peculiar expression, “Mr. Zhi Rui, could it be that among these Ten Outstanding…”

Others also caught on at this moment, turning their heads to look over.

Lin Zhirui hesitated, then gave a bitter smile, “Indeed, you couldn’t be fooled, friend Lu Qing, I, too, was once fortunately exaggerated as one of the Ten Outstanding.”

“Hehe, I knew it, with Mr. Zhi Rui’s grace, how could you possibly not be included.”

Seeing the embarrassed expression on Lin Zhirui’s face, Lu Qing couldn’t help but laugh.

Lin Zhirui usually always maintained a calm and confident demeanor.

It was rare to see such an expression on the face of this disciple of Tianji Building.

“Indeed, Mr. Zhi Rui, your grace is far stronger than those few above!” Wei Zian also sincerely exclaimed.

“Alright, let’s stop joking about me,” Lin Zhirui’s face grew a bit hot, and he quickly pointed forward, “Young Master Bai and the others are about to start climbing the Heavenly Ladder.”

Lu Qing and the others looked over and indeed, after a bit of discussion, Bai Bufan and the others had begun to ascend the Heavenly Ladder.

Each stair of the white jade staircase on the Heavenly Ladder was three feet high.

The seven figures, at first, climbed quite easily.

With a light jump, they were able to surpass more than a dozen stairs, ascending over ten meters quickly.

But after climbing more than ten yards, their speed noticeably slowed down.

And the height they leapt also decreased, from initially jumping three or four yards to later just one or two.

Gradually, it even became a struggle to climb just one step at a time.

“Mr. Zhi Rui, who do you think will win?” Lu Qing asked.

“Hard to say,” Lin Zhirui shook his head, “These few are all outstanding True Disciples from the Major Sects.

Not only have they solidly refined their foundations, but they have also forged their Divine Soul Power.

And they all possess Secret Skills, so no one knows who will come out on top until the very last moment.”

As Bai Bufan and the others were competing, at some high place in the Holy City, several powerful figures were also watching this scene and discussing.

“Brother Qiu, who do you think will win this competition?”

One of the figures in a blue robe smiled.

“I think, Bufan this kid is doing well, seeing how he still seems to handle it effortlessly, it shouldn’t be hard for him to come out on top,” another figure said.

“Otherwise, I am more optimistic about Situ Jin, it’s said he has cultivated his Vajra Body to Iron Body Peak.

He’s only a step away from the Innate Realm’s Copper Body Realm.

You all know that climbing the Heavenly Ladder, what matters most is the strength of the physical body, I think the one who can hang on till the end might be him.”

Another figure chimed in.

“Climbing the Heavenly Ladder indeed favors those with strong physical bodies, but don’t forget, it also greatly suppresses the heart and spirit.

Since Bai Bufan and they are all at Postnatal Perfection, even if there are differences in physical strength, it shouldn’t be too great.

So I think, in the end, it will still come down to a battle of heart and spirit will.”

“What’s the point of us arguing here, just watch. The real start of the pressure of the Heavenly Ladder is after a hundred meters.

Who wins and who loses, once they pass the height of a hundred meters and we see their performance, it will be clear at a glance.”

“Indeed, the real beginning of determining the winner is after a hundred meters.”

With that, the other figures also nodded in agreement.
