It wasn't too late yet. There were quite a few people around who were eyeing Ye Xiruo, intending to make a move on her. But they were all given a cold look by Ye Xiruo's dark eyes, and they all lowered their heads guiltily. They originally thought she was an easy target, but they didn't expect to run into a brick wall. This little girl was not so simple.

With such agility on the Heavenly Ladder, coupled with the speed of her attack just now, no one could even see what she was holding, and the triangular-eyed man was simply smashed away.

"They should put their energy into the Heavenly Ladder. With so many people participating in the assessment, how can they possibly scheme against everyone?" It's incredibly foolish that someone would do something so self-destructive.

No one around spoke, but they all subconsciously kept a distance from Ye Xiruo, fearing that Ye Xiruo might do something to them if she had a sudden change of heart.

She didn't know where her senior brother was, but he must be ahead of her. Oh well, she should speed things up a bit, lest she run out of time and then go crying to herself.

So, to everyone's astonishment, Ye Xiruo's figure moved like a ghost, as if the surrounding pressure didn't exist for her. She ran incredibly fast, and in the blink of an eye, she had already climbed more than a dozen steps.

The group of people who witnessed it all: Σ(°△°|||)︴

Holy crap, what just happened? They must be hallucinating. How could anyone be that fast? This is the Heavenly Ladder! The Heavenly Ladder, roar!!!

This girl is hiding her abilities too well. We thought we were all on the same level, but it seems we were overthinking it. This girl is far more capable than us.

At this moment, Ye Xiruo's figure had completely disappeared from their sight.

If the person with the triangular eyes were still alive, they would definitely regret not being more discerning and for provoking someone they couldn't possibly afford to offend.

Those who hadn't yet made a move were now very grateful. Luckily, they hadn't been so foolish as to strike first, or they wouldn't even know how they died.

Why do I feel so frustrated when I have such a skilled person by my side?

Ye Xiruo's physical body is still the same as before, and it is impossible for her to instantly transform into a physique like Xiu Qiyu's. In fact, she was taking a shortcut. She released her spiritual power to form a thin protective film that enveloped her entire body. In this way, the external pressure would be much less for her, and the speed could be increased.

The mental energy consumed in this way is terrifying. The higher you go, the greater the pressure and the greater the mental energy consumption. However, she has spiritual water and pills to recover, otherwise she really wouldn't dare to squander her mental energy like this.

The Holy Master shifted his gaze from Ye Xiruo: "Her spiritual power is very strong."

"Yes, he's almost as powerful as a Transcending Tribulation old monster. If we can't beat him, running away is enough."

"Congratulations! You've finally found a disciple after all these years."

"I must thank the Holy Master for making this possible."

Are you afraid I'll steal your apprentice?

"Holy Master, you flatter me. It's her good fortune to be able to guide her. This girl is too impulsive. Is this how you use your spiritual power? Is this the right time to use it?"

"Judging from her appearance, it seems she is looking for someone."

“I understand. They should be looking for her two senior brothers. They have a very good relationship. Both of them have exceptional talent, and one of them has an ethereal body.”

"Oh, so he has an ethereal body. He should be a good candidate for cultivation. How did he become an alchemist?"

Xue Junhan touched his nose, "I don't know either: I heard he was so engrossed in the sword path that he almost went to the Heavenly Sword Sect."

"A very interesting little guy. I think Old Meng will be very interested in him."

"It all depends on whether he can catch Old Master Meng's eye."

After rushing up several hundred steps in one breath, Ye Xiruo finally stopped and slowly dissipated the spiritual energy around her.

At the same time, he pushed off with his feet and leaned forward, preparing to meet the pressure that had increased many times over.

The moment her spiritual power vanished, Ye Xiruo's legs trembled violently, and blood gushed from her body. It was blood and sweat forced out by the external pressure. Her bones screamed in pain, as if the pressure could crush her into a meat patty.

The people around her weren't much better off than Ye Xiruo; they were all gritting their teeth and persevering. They were also filled with curiosity about this whirlwind-like woman. How had she managed to climb up from below like a gust of wind, and now she had stopped here, seemingly unable to continue?

"If you can't persevere, just give up. You're still young, and you'll have another chance in three years. Don't let your foundation be damaged."

Kind people tried to persuade Ye Xiruo, but she didn't sense any malice. She forced an awkward smile and said, "Thank you, but I believe I can persevere."

"Don't push yourself too hard."

"Okay, thank you anyway." Ye Xiruo gripped her crutch tightly, supporting herself to keep from falling.

Every inch of her flesh and blood was being squeezed, and her bones screamed in pain. Ye Xiruo gritted her teeth and endured it. It didn't make sense. Her body had never relaxed its training over the years, and with the blessing of the divine spring water, it couldn't be this bad. There were so many people ahead of her.

If they can do it, she definitely can too.

Furthermore, the pressure on the Heavenly Ladder cannot increase indefinitely, otherwise, this group of people would be completely wiped out. Therefore, the Heavenly Ladder may have a limit, a critical point. As for this critical point, Ye Xiru guessed it should not be far off.

Therefore, as long as you persevere, you will definitely succeed. Ye Xiruo leaned on her crutches and moved forward step by step with difficulty, feeling as if her legs were about to become her own.

"Junior Sister—"

The voice sounded like that of the eldest brother, and Ye Xiruo's eyes immediately lit up: "Eldest brother, I'm here."

Um, Senior Brother was about a hundred meters ahead of me, and Senior Brother Yingxun was next to him. Senior Brother looked like nothing had happened. He was dressed in white, elegant and refined, with a few smiles on his lips. He looked calm and composed, like he was out enjoying the scenery, unlike the others who looked disheveled as if they had just been released from prison.

It turns out that the ethereal body can absorb all kinds of spiritual energy. The formation on this Heavenly Ladder also operates on spiritual energy, so it can also be absorbed by Zishu. Even though his true essence is imprisoned, this special physique is still constantly operating, absorbing the spiritual energy in the formation. Therefore, Zishu is probably the person who has the easiest time in all the assessments.

It's true what they say, comparisons are odious. When those people saw Zishu's appearance, they thought they had encountered a peerless genius. They all kept their distance, praying that Zishu wouldn't cause them any trouble. How could they dare to cause trouble for Zishu?
