Chapter 659: Chapter 650 Trouble, Don’t Get in the Way

Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!

At the Lingyun Heavenly Ladder, nearly all the geniuses present had stepped onto it by now.

Mo Wangchen and Wu Lingfeng arrived, both standing in front of the first step.

After two moments of silence, they also didn’t hesitate to step forward and ascend.

"Hmm?"

The moment he stepped onto the first step of the Lingyun Heavenly Ladder, Mo Wangchen felt a tremendous pressure coming at him, as if it had locked onto him specifically, bearing down continuously.

His brows furrowed, and his breathing also became a bit more labored at this moment.

After a good while, Mo Wangchen finally exhaled slowly. He turned his gaze to Wu Lingfeng at his side, "How does it feel?"

"This pressure is indeed not weak, and this is only the first layer. I wonder how the nine hundredth peak will be?" Wu Lingfeng said.

"The higher we go, the stronger the pressure becomes. If you can’t hold on, you can drop out first. There’s no need to force yourself," Mo Wangchen said.

Hearing this, Wu Lingfeng nodded, "You go ahead first, don’t mind me. If you’re late, the spots might be taken by others."

With Mo Wangchen’s Talent, he had a great chance to secure one of the three spots. Wu Lingfeng was somewhat lacking; he didn’t want to distract Mo Wangchen.

"Then I’ll see you later."

Mo Wangchen didn’t think too much about it, leaving behind these words, he then began to climb upwards.

"He’s moving so fast!"

"In just half a moment’s time, the Sky Demon Little King has ascended a hundred steps. Does he intend to be the first to reach the Peak?"

At this moment, beneath the Lingyun Heavenly Ladder, many people were discussing this.

The assessment had just begun not long ago, and the Sky Demon Little King was already leading the way, having ascended to the hundredth step effortlessly.

Following him were Xia Jiujian, Leng Ziming, and several other Princes from the Ancient King Royal Family. Right now, they had reached the eightieth step. They weren’t climbing as boldly as the Sky Demon Little King, but rather very steadily, with a seemingly regular pattern to their steps.

"Where is the Divine King Body?" Suddenly someone remembered Mo Wangchen.

"There, at only the twentieth step?" The crowd scanned their surroundings until finally, someone noticed Mo Wangchen in white, making orderly and unhurried progress upwards around the twentieth step.

"Isn’t he too far behind?"

"Could the Divine King Body be all for show?"

Many people were astonished and discussing among themselves, as nearly all the top geniuses of the younger generation had reached above the eightieth step.

With the fame that Mo Wangchen had on previous days, he shouldn’t have only reached the twentieth step.

"Although he’s moving very slowly, it seems very methodical. The interval between each step seems almost identical. This is the most conservative climbing method."

"But isn’t that too slow? Isn’t Mo Wangchen afraid that others will reach the top first and take the spots?"

"Maybe it’s not considered slow, look, those leading geniuses seem to have also slowed down their pace. It appears that the pressure above has become strong to a certain degree."

While the crowd was discussing, Leng Ziming and others had also reached the hundredth step. And the leading Sky Demon Little King, no longer as valiant as before, had also slowed down upon passing the hundredth step, now reaching the one hundred and tenth step.

"Are they freaks or what, to have reached above a hundred steps so quickly?"

Above the Lingyun Heavenly Ladder, around the fiftieth step, a large group of people had gathered here. Most people could only make it to this point.

A young genius from the Ancient Clan gritted his teeth and said, "It feels as though I’m carrying a mountain on my shoulders, every step is difficult, and after struggling so much, I’ve only made it to this fiftieth step... yet they’ve ascended a hundred steps..."

"Eh? Isn’t that Divine King Body Mo Wangchen?"

"He’s only made it this far?"

At this moment, Mo Wangchen maintained his usual speed, walking steadily upward and finally reached the fiftieth step. Immediately, many recognized him.

"Haha, looks like the Divine King Body is just so-so after all. He’s only made it to the fiftieth step, just like us!"

"Seeing him walk so slowly, it seems even harder for him than us. Come on, let’s push ourselves and leave the Divine King Body far behind. That’s something to brag about in the future."

Instantly, many people set off once again, and for a time, the crowd continued upward.

By the time Mo Wangchen moved from the fiftieth to the sixtieth step, those people had already reached the seventieth step, ten steps ahead of him.

"Huff, huff, huff!"

"Taking twenty steps at once is too exhausting, can’t do it, need to rest for a bit."

Many felt utterly drained and sat down to rest on the seventieth step.

"What’s going on? Didn’t we just leave Mo Wangchen behind? How did he catch up so quickly?" It wasn’t long before someone noticed that not far below, the figure of Mo Wangchen had appeared again.

"You think you can leave the Divine King Body behind with this stop-and-go approach? You’re dreaming."

Wu Lingfeng also arrived here and, upon hearing the remarks of the people around, couldn’t help but speak up, "Since you started climbing the ladder, you don’t know how many times you’ve rested. The Divine King Body hasn’t stopped even once."

"Damn!"

"This kid dares to mock us!"

Hearing Wu Lingfeng’s words, many faces showed anger, and some approached, as if wanting to start a fight.

"Please don’t block the way."

But just then, from further down the staircase, came a calm voice from Mo Wangchen before those people could react,

He grabbed them one by one and threw them down the staircase.

"You!"

A youth of the Ancient King’s lineage had a grim expression; had he not dodged in time, he too would have been caught by Mo Wangchen and thrown down.

"What about me?" Mo Wangchen looked at him, then took another step and reached the seventy-first step.

"Hmph, keep being arrogant. Those in the lead will soon reach the two-hundredth step. You won’t have a spot among today’s three places."

"Whether I have a spot I don’t know, but you definitely won’t," Mo Wangchen said calmly, and with a wave of his hand, the great invisible palm swept several people nearby down the steps once again.

"You’re going too far!" several young kings of the Ancient Clan frowned.

"Whether it’s too far is not for you to say. If I remember correctly, Tianchen Senior didn’t say anything about not being allowed to strike at others during the assessment, right?"

Mo Wangchen looked at them, taking another step, "Actually, I don’t mind if you try to strike at me... if you’re confident enough..."

"Arrogant!"

Finally, a young king from the Kunpeng Clan couldn’t restrain himself and his body shook as he was about to transform into a Roc and attack Mo Wangchen.

"Ah!"

But in the next moment, the young king from the Kunpeng Clan screamed in agony, seemingly hit by a terrifying force and sent flying out, tumbling down to the ground below Lingyun Heavenly Ladder.

"This idiot, daring to reveal his True Body while on the Heavenly Ladder, is lucky not to be killed by the pressure," said Wu Lingfeng disdainfully.
