Lu Ziqi laughed triumphantly.
Actually, she was also very puzzled.
"What kind of miraculous medicine did this kid take? Why has his strength improved so rapidly, reaching this level? Logically speaking, he has only been away from Xuanwu Academy for a few months. Could it be that he went to Flower Fairy Valley and had some kind of extraordinary encounter?"
Nobody knows.
Lu Chen continued to stride forward, breaking through the 299th floor in one go before stopping.
"We've reached our limit. If we go any higher, we might fall off."
Lu Chen knew that every hundred floors was a major hurdle, and after reaching the 299th floor, he finally felt the immense difficulty.
At this moment, Lu Chen felt as if his internal organs were about to shatter. The terrifying pressure and the gravity from his own body were constantly tearing his body apart.
Fortunately, Lu Chen's physical body had reached an extremely terrifying strength, and he was also a Chaos God Body, which allowed him to repair himself extremely quickly, which was why he was able to barely withstand it.
"This three hundredth floor is probably my limit."
Lu Chen gritted his teeth and rushed to the 300th floor. As soon as he got there, he slammed hard onto the ground, feeling like he was about to lose consciousness and control of his body.
Even his consciousness began to blur, as if his soul was being subjected to extremely powerful pressure.
At this moment, Lu Chen really dared not underestimate the terrifying power of this Heavenly Ladder.
It seems that reaching the summit directly is still impossible for me.
The moment this thought crossed Lu Chen's mind, he was thrown down hard, plummeting from the 300th floor to the very bottom.
Lu Chen coughed up a mouthful of blood and quickly regained consciousness. Although he was somewhat disheveled, this injury was something that Lu Chen could recover from in the blink of an eye.
"My physical strength isn't enough. If I were strong enough, I could just tough it out and climb at least another hundred floors."
Lu Chen gave up and left the Heavenly Ladder directly. At this moment, the entire high-ranking members of the Xuanwu Academy were in an uproar.
"My God! He actually climbed to the three hundredth floor! He's a genius! He hasn't even reached the King Realm yet!"
"Junior Sister, you've really struck gold! You've managed to snag a disciple before I could."
"This is a very important matter and must be reported to the higher-ups. With Lu Chen's current talent, he is more than qualified to go to the headquarters or even enter the True Martial Hall."
"The Xuanwu Academy is too small to accommodate such a peerless genius."
The six elders and the sect leader were all filled with emotion. Although they were extremely reluctant to part, they knew that once they reached the three hundredth floor of the Heavenly Ladder, the True Martial Academy would know everything, even if they didn't report it to their superiors.
Headquarters will send someone sooner or later; it won't be able to be kept secret then.
Besides, it is an immense honor for Xuanwu Academy to produce such a talent, and there is no need to hide it.
But Lu Ziqi was not happy about it.
"Why should I? My apprentice is my responsibility to teach, and it's none of anyone else's business."
Lu Ziqi refused quite rudely. They had only taken on disciples a few months ago, and Lu Chen had only been in the sect for a few days in total. Was he already leaving?
Lu Ziqi found this disciple quite interesting. If he left, the mundane days of cultivation would be really boring.
"No fooling around."
"Junior sister, you can't keep such a talented disciple."
"That's right! Headquarters will send someone over sooner or later."
Everyone tried to persuade him.
Lu Ziqi rolled her eyes and said, "You want to take my disciple away? No way, unless you take me with you."
The sect leader and the six elders were all dumbfounded upon hearing this.
Once that was explained, everyone understood.
So, this junior sister had this idea in mind.
Everyone knows that Junior Sister Lu Ziqi is exceptionally talented, far surpassing everyone else present, but she hasn't been cultivating much in recent years.
"Alright."
"So that's what Junior Sister was planning. Good! That's a good idea."
"Then let's wait for someone from headquarters to come."
This matter has now come to an end.
Lu Chen had no idea what the consequences would be after he passed the 300th floor of the Heavenly Ladder; he simply considered it a test of his current strength.
But to his surprise, three days later, someone from the Xuanwu Academy arrived.
"What? An envoy from the Zhenwu Academy?"
Lu Chen looked at the man in front of him, who seemed to be even younger than himself, with a look of surprise on his face.
At this moment, all seven elders of Xuanwu Academy and the sect leader were present, facing the envoy with respectful expressions.
"No need for formalities, everyone. I am Xia Yunzi. I believe you all already know why I have come today."
Fang Yunzi had a gentle smile on her face, but her gaze was fixed on Lu Chen, making Lu Chen feel uncomfortable all over.
"Is it you?"
Fang Yunzi smiled.
Lu Chen looked completely bewildered, pointed to himself, and said, "What do you mean, 'it's me'?"
"Did you climb to the three hundredth floor of the Heavenly Ladder?"
Fang Yunzi frowned slightly, glancing at the elders and sect leader beside him. It seemed that this person knew nothing at all.
Lu Chen was secretly startled and asked, "It's me, what's wrong?"
What surprised him at that moment was that the other party actually knew that he had climbed the three hundredth step of the Heavenly Ladder.
"It really is you! I never expected such a genius to emerge. Come with me! With your talent, you are qualified to enter the True Martial Hall."
Fang Yunzi got straight to the point, stating his purpose.
Just as Lu Chen was about to speak, he suddenly heard a voice transmission in his mind. After pondering for a moment, he slowly shook his head and said, "Can I refuse?"
