This was because, although Lu Shenzhi tried his best to support her, the spiritual power of others had limited effect, so she only rose one foot higher.
But that's enough.
At this point, there was no need for further explanation; Zhang Yingxin already understood.
She looked at Shi Xuan with great excitement, still thinking of the captain.
Shi Xuan met her gaze and extended a hand to her.
Zhang Yingxin grabbed Shi Xuan's hand, channeled all her spiritual energy into her feet, and suddenly exerted force, propelling herself upwards.
Shi Xuan promptly provided assistance, concentrating spiritual energy in her palm, allowing Zhang Yingxin to easily leap up. In just a moment, she surpassed the previous height and touched the golden stars on the ceiling.
The moment the starlight entered her body, Zhang Yingxin felt a jolt throughout her body, as if she were bathing in comfortable warm water. Her spiritual energy seemed to be enhanced by some power, a feeling she had never experienced before during her cultivation.
Seeing this, Lu Wenxing quickly raised his hand: "Junior Sister, what about me! Me, me, me!"
Lu Shenzhi had already walked up to him, looked at the guy helplessly, and stretched out a hand to him.
Lu Wenxing was overjoyed and showered everyone with compliments: "Boss, your hands are really beautiful!"
The flattery backfired, and the senior disciple, asserting his own abilities, withdrew his outstretched hand.
Lu Wenxing hurriedly pulled him back: "Hey, hey, why did you go back again? Senior Brother, you're the most handsome! In our Lianfeng Sword Sect, no, in our Qian Yuan Continent, in the entire outer region, there's no one more handsome than you!"
To make matters worse, Lu Shenzhi went far away.
Shi Xuan laughed heartily and joined Lu Wenxing in the teasing: "Senior Brother is so handsome! Senior Brother is a femme fatale!"
There's a basis for this statement.
She was previously targeted by a witch from the witch clan, and almost couldn't wake up in the end; it was all because of her appearance.
Shi Xuan's smile spurred Lu Shenzhi to go even further.
Lu Wenxing had no choice but to return to Shi Xuan with a long face and ask for help: "Why did you get angry so suddenly? I even said so many nice things to you."
Shi Xuan couldn't help but laugh. "It's all thanks to all those nice things you said. If you hadn't said so many nice things, Xingxing would have already gotten her by now."
Shi Xuan generously offered Lu Wenxing a helping hand.
Comparing Lu Wenxing's actions to those of Shi Xuan and Zhang Yingxin, he leaped upwards with all his might and actually bumped into a golden star!
He shouted excitedly, "Ah, I touched it! That's great! I feel full of energy! This star is wonderful!"
He tried to reach for the second one, and Shi Xuan helped him jump up, but the second one didn't work either.
But for Lu Wenxing, picking stars seemed to be a very fun thing. Even though the stars would be useless after that, he still wanted to pick them for fun.
This time, Shi Xuan refused to cooperate with him, but Lu Wenxing was not discouraged and happily skipped around on his own.
Mi Sui almost missed it, but with Lu Shenzhi's help, he succeeded on his first try.
The one who is the most lacking is Chen Qi. He is originally a formation cultivator, so his spiritual power is not as high as the others. But it's not a problem. Shi Xuan and Lu Shenzhi are on either side of him, so sending him up is not a problem.
At this point, eight days had passed since the top fifty on the Prodigy Ranking entered the Nine-Story Tower, and some of the faster ones had already reached the sixth floor.
Their best team of six remained on the second floor.
The six red dots hadn't moved for the first few days, but on the last day, they kept jumping around in the same spot, and it was unclear what they were doing.
But the local elders suddenly stopped worrying.
These people got in, they started with zero points, and now they've broken through zero and gotten eighty. Do they expect to get a hundred points? Let them go if they can get in and have a go.
But in the eyes of others, these members of the best teams were probably just not qualified enough, so they ranked last among the fifty people who entered.
After picking all the stars, there was nothing left for them to linger on, so they headed back towards the teleportation array.
This time, everyone could clearly feel that their steps were lighter, almost as light as when they walked normally.
That level is roughly equivalent to the walking ability of an ordinary person who has never cultivated before.
As the second-floor teleportation array lit up, a group of six people appeared at the entrance on the third floor.
The third floor still exerted tremendous gravity as always, it seems that the entire nine-story pagoda is under such a huge suction force.
However, this was no longer a problem for Shi Xuan and the others; all six of them could walk like normal people.
The group carefully observed the situation on the third floor. It was still the same large hall, with no stars visible at all. The third floor looked exactly the same as the first floor.
The pale blue teleportation array was right opposite them, seemingly just a few steps away.
But everyone knows it won't be that easy.
Two people were sitting in the middle of the hall; they were the same two who had come in with them earlier, among the first fifty. Judging from their appearance, they seemed to have wanted to go upstairs but had not been able to.
Lu Wenxing immediately greeted them.
Hey bro! What are you up to?
No one responded to him; the two seemed not to have heard his question and did not react at all.
Judging from this situation, they seem to have entered a certain state of mind.
For those who have already gone upstairs, the first and second floors are easy to pass, even though they are difficult to move around on. After a while, they can slowly move to the teleportation array.
So, on the third floor, besides this ever-present gravitational pull, what else is there? What is it that keeps those two sitting in the center of the hall without any reaction?
If you don't take the first step, you'll never know what you're about to face.
Shi Xuan took a breath and walked in first from the entrance.
This one step alone changed the whole world.
She seemed to suddenly fall into some kind of illusion.
Shi Xuan subjectively knew that this was an illusion, and then it was like knowing that you are dreaming in a dream, unable to wake up, and not knowing whether this "I know it is an illusion" was actually an illusion.
Shi Xuan was lost in a trance-like state; the hall in front of her had long since vanished. A log bridge had appeared before her.
All around was shrouded in mist, and no one knew what lay on the other side of the log bridge. They were lost and confused, unsure of what time it was.
Shi Xuan took a while to process what he was thinking: Who am I? Where am I? What am I supposed to do?
It took him a while to realize that he was a cultivator and was currently undergoing a trial at the Shixing Sect.
The single-plank bridge was her first test upon entering the profession.
More than eighty disciples had already crossed the bridge, but they either turned back halfway or fell off the bridge; none of them successfully reached the other side.
