Chapter 553 (2/2)

”Ahhhh!”

Those in front were completely unprepared and were sent flying and wailing in pain. Those following tightly behind them were also implicated. Chaos erupted.

”d.a.m.n it! The stairs are protected by a formation! I knew we wouldn't be able to get through the test so easily!”

”Sure enough, the test is not so easy. Looks like I have to do my best. I must become a disciple of the Dragon Phoenix Academy!”

”Since I'm already here, there is no retreat. This formation won't be able to stop me!”

”Get out of my way, you tras.h.!.+ Watch how I climb the stairs!”

...

After the initial chaos, the partic.i.p.ants became cautious and started doing all they could to climb the stairs. The stairs were about one kilometer wide, leaving plenty of s.p.a.ce for a large number of people to climb at the same time. But since everyone wanted to be the first to reach the top, the partic.i.p.ants started pus.h.i.+ng and shoving.

Some were completely incapable of taking the first step, while some started climbing. However, those who managed to start climbing stopped after a step or two. Based on their looks, it seemed they were exerting a lot of energy as if a ma.s.sive mountain had landed on their shoulders. At this time, Xiang Shaoyun and company prepared to climb as well.

”Big Brother Tang, Big Sister Ning, Lady Shura, do your best!” Xiang Shaoyun cheered them on.

”Same for you,” the three replied as they charged the stairs.

”You are not strong enough to climb these stairs, so you don't have to partake in this round. I believe I will be able to bring both of you in after pa.s.sing the test,” said Xiang Shaoyun toward the Han Clan sisters.

The two nodded. ”Alright. All the best!”

Regardless of their feelings toward him, at this point, they both hoped he could get through the test with his own strength. Xiang Shaoyun nodded and started das.h.i.+ng toward the stairs as well. He found that Tang Longfei, Ning Wenhuang, and Lady Shura were still at the outer periphery of the crowd and weren't able to approach the stairs at all. After all, there were too many partic.i.p.ants, and everyone wanted to be at the front.

”Over here, Big Brother Tang. Let's charge together,” Xiang Shaoyun called out to them.

They thus grouped up and erupted with their auras, forcing their way through the crowd. However, the people at the front were also doing their best to push at each other. It wouldn't be so easy to force a path through them.

”Get out of my way or suffer the consequences!” Xiang Shaoyun howled. At this point, there was no need to hold back. Everyone's focus should be to get ahead of the others.

”p.i.s.s off if you don't want to die!” replied furiously the person in front of Xiang Shaoyun. Right after he said that, silver lightning bolts rained down.

Rumble! Rumble!
