Chapter 1143: Chapter 335: Guigui Makes a Move! (2-in-1)
“When the number of contestants entering the second level ladder reaches 220,000, the third level ladder will be opened, and those who have not yet entered the second level ladder will be eliminated.”
Lin Su and the others exchanged glances.
“I thought eliminating 10,000 people from the first level ladder was already harsh, but to think the second level ladder directly doubles it.” Qin Nan clicked his tongue, “With the elimination down the seven level ladder, more than half of the contestants will be gone.”
Lin Su nodded in agreement.
Climbing the first level ladder was just an appetizer.
Because entering it poses no difficulty.
But to make it from the first level ladder to the second level ladder’s range is not so easy.
Because first, you have to find the location of the second level ladder.
The dense fog around is the hindrance.
“Xiao Yu, Sharp Vision!”
Qin Nan quickly commanded, and the Gray Feathered Lion Hawk behind her, its pupils shrank rapidly, scanning around like needle points.
But soon, the Gray Feathered Lion Hawk shook its head helplessly.
Its Sharp Vision ability had already been upgraded to Level IV.
But within the Pure Cloud Realm constructed by Yun Zun with his own rules, this level of skill proficiency couldn’t see through the layers of fog.
“Youyou, use Mind Tide.” Seeing the situation, realizing merely relying on visual skill amplitude was ineffective, Lin Su patted Youyou on the head and gave the command.
“Mm! (⑅˃◡˂⑅)” (Understood!)
Invisible waves spread out from Youyou’s center in all directions.
Those waves, extraordinarily subtle, would rebound immediately upon encountering anything, manifesting corresponding images in Youyou’s mind like sonar.
Telekinesis-based skill, Mind Tide.
Youyou, whose understanding of the fundamental rules of telekinesis had also reached the third stage, used this skill with ease.
Quickly, its large eyes snapped open.
“Mm! (❁´◡`❁)” (Found the place!)
Through Mind Tide, it successfully pinpointed the direction of the second level ladder!
“Let’s go!” Lin Su smiled, and Qin Nan and Gu Shumo couldn’t help but look at Youyou with peculiar expressions.
Knowing the location of the second level ladder, Youyou once again activated spatial powers, quickly taking everyone there.
…
As time trickled away, the ladder levels opened up higher and higher, and the number of contestants remaining on the ladders decreased as well.
Besides the first-level ladder, which eliminated only 10,000 contestants, the subsequent five-level ladders each eliminated 20,000, leaving only 140,000 contestants out of 250,000.
The sixth level ladder was a eucalyptus forest.
This eucalyptus forest was lush, with each tree towering thousands of meters high.
Once one flew above the treetops, all surrounding eucalyptus trees would join forces to attack, a force even Emperor-level would feel daunting.
Hence, everyone’s actions were restricted to below a thousand meters.
Though there wasn’t the view-blocking fog of the Pure Cloud Realm, the trunks all around offered no less of a visual obstruction.
Moreover, within this eucalyptus forest, strong battle wills would occasionally sweep across, providing obstacles to all contestants within range.
Upon arriving, after exploring arduously, Lin Su and his team heard Xie Venerate’s voice.
“The number of contestants entering the sixth level ladder has reached 140,000; those not yet entered have been eliminated, and the seventh level ladder is opened.”
“The first 120,000 contestants to reach the seventh level ladder will smoothly advance to the fifth round.”
The final round still involves eliminating 20,000 contestants.
Upon hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
“Let’s go, the seventh level is not far ahead.” Lin Su pointed in a direction they had scouted earlier, and Youyou took action again, making them vanish from the spot.
Almost at every ladder level, Lin Su’s group was among the first to arrive.
Being early had its advantages; they could explore the current level ladder thoroughly before the next one opened, making ample preparation.
In this way, contestants with advantages could continue to amplify their lead.
Exiting the sixth level ladder, they found themselves in an entirely new realm.
At this moment, they had already reached the top, with no further tests in the fourth round.
The seventh level of the ladder was a body of water elevated to the sky.
This water was distinctly flowing yet easily supported everyone, preventing them from falling.
Standing at this position, a glance upward revealed immortal figures surrounding them.
“Hooray!” It was not until now that Gu Shumo completely relaxed, an excited look appearing on her face, “Thank you, boss, for carrying us!”
Among the trio, she was purely along for the ride, luckily having strong support, smoothly passing through the seven-level ladder to advance to the fifth round.
Reaching this stage with a master’s level Beast Tamer prowess, Gu Shumo could be considered the first in the exchange competition this time.
In the live streaming channel, as the match progressed, the bullet screen continued to output.
In the third round, Gu Shumo had already attracted attention due to her opponent matchups and outstanding looks. Now, upon seeing her reach the seventh-level ladder, the bullet screen buzzed with activity.
[TokioNancy: I think I saw that lucky contestant from the third round on the seventh-level ladder?]
[Ex__calibur: Seems she only passed by following Lin Su; if hugging thighs is allowed, isn’t that somewhat unfair?]
