This system is so brutal

Chapter 24 The Peak Person
Just when people began to rush up the stone staircase, Lu Chen put his hands on the handrail of the stone staircase and stopped one step at a time, looking like he had no strength.

This made Wei Zhongxian and the others curious about what was going on and why Lu Chen was so weak today.

It's only the first step, and it's starting to be a bit difficult, so can he pass the steps behind him?
Of course, there are also some people who are not so different from Lu Chen. After walking two steps, they feel that their bodies are pressed by a pressure, which is very heavy, making it difficult for them to lift their feet and continue to step on the next step.

What Wei Zhongxian and the others didn't know was that Lu Chen was not because of spiritual pressure, but because he was so hungry that he had no energy.

At this moment, Dongfang Zhenghong had already stepped onto the No.20 step. Although his speed had dropped a little, he still didn't stop, followed by Zhao Tianqin, and the next one was Gongsun Ziang.

Seeing this scene, Dongfang Bubai said to the other elders with satisfaction: "I said that our Dongfang family sent the one with the best talent this year, but you still don't believe it."

At this time, the Fourth Elder next to him broke the stage and said: "Come on, as long as there are people from your family participating in the selection, you have always said that, but after more than ten years, I have not seen other people except Dongfang Xingyu." The disciples of the Dongfang family will go there."

Dongfang Bubai retorted: "You are wrong to say that. In the past ten years, our Seven Star Sect has only recruited a few disciples. It is already very good to have a Dongfang Xingyu."

The Seven Star Sect used to recruit disciples once a year, and did not follow the rules of the Immortal League. Not only the Seven Star Sect was like this, but other sects were also like this.

It's just that one day the head of the Seven Star Sect suddenly felt that there were too many people and the cultivation resources were not enough to allocate, so he proposed a strategic route for immortal talents, so he changed the time to every five years, so that the disciples of each sect could allocate to more resources.

"Look, Dongfang Masahiro must be the first person to reach No.60." Dongfang Bubai said proudly.

The second elder listened to what they said, but did not speak, but quietly looked at Lu Chen who was still on the third step.

He was puzzled.

He could detect the existence of the phantom formation, and he could also decipher the phantom, but he climbed the spirit test ladder so slowly?
It doesn't make sense.

And looking at him like that, it didn't look like he was acting. He really didn't have the strength to climb up, which gave people the feeling that his body was very heavy.

It's really a pity that the first two levels have performed so well, and the last one has broken the chain.

Time passed by every minute and every second, and everyone's speed slowed down, and some even stopped completely. Like Lu Chen, several people couldn't move when they reached the fourth and fifth steps.

At this time, someone finally couldn't hold it anymore and offered to withdraw.

Reiatsu pressing on the body is not like a stone pressing on the body. Reiatsu directly acts on the human body, which makes people feel that the internal organs in the body are about to be crushed.

After proposing to withdraw, the instructors went directly up to unscrew those who quit, and the others continued.

After a quarter of an incense stick, Lu Chen finally climbed the tenth step, and the mentors in charge of the selection were all relieved for him.

As long as he passed the tenth level, even if he passed this level, even if he gave up at this time, he could still be regarded as a disciple of the Seven Star Sect.

However, few people who climbed out of the tenth step gave up. After the tenth step, they saw hope, because Dongfang Masahiro stopped at the forty steps, and he had stopped for a long time, which showed that he had already passed the tenth step. Fast approaching the limit.

Among the onlookers, few noticed Lu Chen's presence. After all, he had been lagging behind, but he soon attracted the attention of some people.

After the inner disciples who came down the mountain completed their tasks, they had nothing to do for the time being. They suddenly remembered that today was the last hurdle for selecting new disciples. If they were bored, they all ran to watch those candidates climb the spiritual ladder.

Ye Zong also followed. When his eyes swept down from above, he suddenly found Lu Chen. He was standing at a relatively biased angle, so he could clearly see Lu Chen's right face.

"That guy hasn't been eliminated yet?" Ye Zong said to himself.

When Lu Chen went up the mountain, in order to avoid being chased by the man with the scar, he lied to Ye Zong, saying that his sister fell off the cliff.

This made Ye Zong feel a little bit of resistance towards Lu Chen. In his opinion, this kind of villain who takes advantage of others will not be able to pass the level of illusion no matter what.

After hearing his words, an inner disciple next to him asked suspiciously, "Senior Brother Ye Zong, who is that guy you're talking about?"

"A candidate I met when I was on a mission, that is, the person at the seventeenth rank."

The inner disciple continued: "Brother, have you noticed it too?"

Ye Zong paused for a moment, then asked back, "What did you notice?"

"I found that although this person walked very slowly, his speed never dropped."

Ok?
After hearing what he said, Ye Zong also noticed this.

It seems to be so...

But Ye Zong immediately came to his senses, and said: "This is only No. 17. It's normal to have this speed. Maybe after a few steps, he won't be able to go on."

Time continued to pass, and Dongfang Zhenghong was like a thriving star, leaving people far behind. He has now climbed to the seventh step, and he is still three steps away from the prescribed end point.

Zhao Tianqin, who is No.2, is still in the first rank of No.40, and has not moved for a long time.

At this time, Le Xiaoxiao, who was on the [-]th step, sat down on the steps and yelled: "I'm so tired! I won't climb anymore, sister Mengqiu, come and hug me down."

After seeing this scene, the disciples on the periphery all snickered. Everyone in the Seven Star Sect knew the relationship between Le Xiaoxiao and Zhen Mengqiu, and also knew that Zhen Mengqiu often built houses because of Le Xiaoxiao.

Several instructors suppressed their laughter, and then looked at Zhen Mengqiu on the side. Someone else, Le Xiaoxiao, had already named Zhen Mengqiu to pick him up, and it was hard for them to interfere.

Wei Zhong laughed and said, "Junior Sister, hurry up, be careful that the little princess loses her temper later and demolishes your house again."

With a dark face, Zhen Mengqiu flew directly to the No.30 stone staircase.

When Le Xiaoxiao saw her coming, she opened her hands and made a gesture of hugging her.

Zhen Mengqiu directly ignored her movements, grabbed her back clothes, and wrung her down like an eagle grabbing a chicken.

After Le Xiaoxiao's voice came out, Dongfang Zhenghong looked back at the people behind him and found that No. 2 had been far behind him, and Lu Chen, who performed best in the first level, had not yet reached the third level. Level ten.

In this way, his psychological pressure will be swept away.

There are still three levels left, and he has reached the end, and he has become No.1. Those people can only stand behind and watch his back from a distance.

This gave him a sense of supreme refreshment.

……

As the timing incense becomes shorter and shorter, more and more people choose to give up.

As they climbed each step, their bodies were always under this level of spiritual pressure. Not everyone could hold on for so long, and some even fainted.

After Lu Chen reached the thirtieth step, he glanced at the remaining steps and sighed.

Alas, his life is so miserable that he has to earn money even when he is hungry.

At this moment, Su Yaoyao really couldn't stand it anymore, and then said: "There are food in Tianyu Mall, you can use crystal coins to buy some food to support yourself, some food has a chance to increase attribute points."

"No, I have to save money to buy equipment." Lu Chen said.

Su Yaoyao scolded: "You are stupid to buy the equipment of your big-headed ghost. Ten crystal coins can be exchanged for six hundred crystal coins, and there may be attribute point bonuses. No matter how you look at it, it is more cost-effective."

Speaking of this, Su Yaoyao went directly to Tianyu Mall to buy a piece of energy chocolate, and then said to Lu Chen: "Hurry up and eat it for me, your acting is almost done, Dongfang Zhenghong probably feels very happy right now."

"Those who have already stood at the top are unwilling to fall behind others."
