From the moment they stepped onto the Heavenly Ladder, they reached the twenty-fifth floor in less than an hour—a situation that had never occurred before.
At least, none of the elders of the Xuanwu Academy had ever seen him before. They saw Lu Chen standing on the twenty-fifth floor. Although his body was swaying, he was very stable and did not look like he was about to fall.
This means that in just a few more moments, Lu Chen will be able to stand firmly on his feet.
Lu Chen tried his best to control his own domain, constantly counteracting the pressure of the external spatial forces, and gradually he stopped moving completely.
His steps were steady, and the range of his domain was constantly growing. Lu Chen patiently experienced this feeling, which was extremely mysterious.
Finally, when his own domain had grown to a range of three feet, he began to climb the twenty-sixth step. At this moment, all the elders of the Xuanwu Academy were shocked.
"You adapted so quickly?"
"It hasn't even been the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, has it?"
"How far do you think he'll go in the next three months?"
For a moment, no one spoke, and they stared at Lu Chen in silence for a long time.
And so, Lu Chen continued to cultivate, and every now and then he would try to challenge the next step. He would only try when he was absolutely sure of himself, otherwise he might accidentally fall down.
Lu Chen had heard screams coming from behind him several times.
It was the other trial participants who, in their haste, tried to climb to the next step before they had even found their footing. As soon as they went up, they fell down and rolled to the bottom.
Some people even suffered head injuries from falling, because on this platform, their strength could not be fully exerted, and they could not even control their Yuan Power. They had no way to resist this strange spatial power.
The first day is finally over.
As night fell, Lu Chen stepped onto the next step, the thirtieth floor.
In just one day, Lu Chen climbed the thirtieth step, an efficiency that astonished everyone.
However, Lu Chen still felt it was too slow, since he had already climbed to the twenty-fifth step in less than an hour, and with eleven hours remaining, he had only climbed five steps.
If others knew this idea, they would probably be devastated.
Leng Yue finally reached the twentieth floor. Like Lu Chen, he wasn't in a hurry to climb higher, but instead took each step steadily, carefully experiencing the mystery of the steps.
Gradually, Leng Yue also gained some understanding of the domain.
On the third day, Lu Chen climbed to the thirty-second floor.
Leng Yue remained on the twentieth floor.
The rest of the people only climbed to the fifteenth floor at most, and some even climbed to the twelfth floor at the lowest.
In comparison, Lu Chen's advantages are simply too great.
At this moment, all the elders of the sect focused their attention on Lu Chen. As for the others, they were not worth mentioning at all. Although they were not bad, there were simply too many disciples with such talent in the Xuanwu Academy.
Lu Chen became the focus of everyone's attention, with everyone watching and hoping that he could climb to a higher level.
As expected, Lu Chen lived up to everyone's expectations.
Ten days later, Lu Chen finally climbed to the fiftieth floor in one go, and then stopped.
This day marks more than two months since then.
There are only ten days left until the three-month assessment period ends.
Leng Yue finally reached the forty-second floor.
The rest of the people, some reached the thirty-fifth floor, and the lowest was the thirtieth floor.
After all, these people are considered quite talented if they are not compared to Lu Chen and his group, but they are far inferior to Lu Chen.
"That's strange! Why is Lu Chen not moving at all? It seems he can't advance any further?"
"Maybe this kid doesn't have much confidence in himself. He'll probably only climb to the sixtieth floor at most."
"Being able to climb to the sixtieth floor is not bad, but I don't have high hopes. These ten steps sound easy, but they get harder as you go on. I'm afraid he might not even be able to climb one floor in a whole day."
Lu Chen's strange behavior attracted the attention of these elders in the sect. Although they were already amazed by the talent Lu Chen had shown, they couldn't help but feel disappointed to see that Lu Chen ultimately remained at the fiftieth level without making any further progress.
After all, there are only ten days left. How many floors can they climb in these ten days? It's still a long way from breaking the previous record that they had hoped for.
Leng Yue then ascended to the next step, reaching the forty-third floor, which amazed all the elders of the sect.
"This little girl might surprise us."
"Although he might not be as good as Lu Chen, he's still pretty good."
"This girl has a strong will; perhaps her future achievements will not be inferior to those of Lu Chen."
These elders already knew Lu Chen's name and had even sent people to investigate his background. When they learned that Lu Chen came from a third-rate sect, the Ten Thousand Swords Sect, they were all extremely surprised.
The grudge between Lu Chen and the second-rate sect Wuji Sect naturally became known to others. However, when they heard that Wuji Sect had recently lost many disciples, and even alarmed the Wuji Martial King, the elders of Xuanwu Academy found it hard to believe.
"Wuji Sect? This kid really knows how to cause trouble."
"The Wuji Sect is nothing more than a second-rate minor sect, not worth mentioning."
"That's right! What is this Wuji Martial King? A self-proclaimed Martial King? It's laughable."
