I was killed by my relatives, and I am reborn to be ruthless.

As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere in the cafeteria froze instantly, as if even the air had stopped.

Except for Zou Mubai and Fei Xiuwen, everyone else present was stunned, their mouths slightly open, and their eyes full of disbelief.

They looked at each other, trying to find the answer in each other's eyes, but they could only see the same confusion and shock.

Indeed, according to the practice of previous years, if a disciple participating in the Spirit Ladder assessment fails to complete the challenge within the specified time, it is usually because the elders have set the assessment time in advance for safety reasons. At that time, they will activate the barrier and gently send the failed disciples out of the Spirit Ladder space.

This arrangement not only ensures the safety of the disciples, but also avoids unnecessary waste.

However, everything that had just happened completely overturned their cognition.

Everyone witnessed with their own eyes that the mysterious magic weapon containing the spirit ladder suddenly shattered after it shone brightly. This scene undoubtedly declared the magic weapon ineffective, and also meant that the original assessment rules were no longer applicable.

According to common sense, the spiritual ladder without the control of the magic weapon should fall into chaos, or be directly closed, so that no one can leave. But at this moment, He Ronger and her companions miraculously appeared in front of everyone, which was undoubtedly a huge shock to traditional cognition.

After realizing this, everyone turned their eyes to the two people in the middle of the cafeteria, with a mixture of surprise and jealousy in their eyes.

They found it hard to imagine how these two people had managed to do it when their magic weapons were ineffective and the rules were broken.

Is it due to extraordinary strength, or is there an unknown secret?

For a moment, there was a lot of discussion in the cafeteria, with all kinds of speculation and conjecture.

He Ronger and Xu Chong seemed to be in the center of the storm, yet they remained calm and composed, making everyone present feel an inexplicable pressure and awe.

"This...how is this possible?" Cook Lao Li muttered to himself.

The Spirit Ladder, which is known as the holy place for trials in the Wanjing Sect and an excellent place to test the disciples' will and cultivation, is so difficult that even the top disciples in the sect are daunted.

Climbing the nine hundred and ninety-nine steps within three hours, each step is accompanied by a test of doubling pressure. Under such conditions, even a cultivator with profound cultivation would have to try his best, let alone escape unscathed.

As far as I can remember, in the history of the Wanjing Sect, there was only one disciple who, with his astonishing talent and perseverance, stepped onto the edge of the 900th step. However, he was ultimately ruthlessly teleported out due to running out of time, and became a legend that was widely circulated within the sect.

Even the high and mighty head master had gone through untold hardships on the spirit ladder. When he came out, he was exhausted and had to recuperate for a long time before he could recover.

Now, the man in front of him, although his clothes were a little dirty, his eyes revealed a sense of indomitable spirit and tenacity. Apart from being a little tired, he was actually fine.

What surprised him even more was that the handsome boy had excitement and curiosity in his eyes, as if what he had just experienced was not a life-and-death test, but a fun-filled adventure.

Old Li's eyes moved back and forth between the two of them, with mixed feelings in his heart.

He knew very well that the appearance of these two people would undoubtedly cause a sensation in the Wanjing Sect. Their achievements might rewrite the history of the sect and become the benchmark and idols in the hearts of the new generation of disciples.

As a witness of this moment, although he was just an ordinary cook in the sect, he felt extremely honored and proud.

"Young people are really to be feared!" Old Li's words were filled with sincere admiration, and his eyes were shining with an unprecedented light.

This exclamation is not only a recognition of the two people's abilities, but also an expectation that the sect may be reborn because of them in the future.

Afterwards, Old Li quickly adjusted his mood and respectfully bowed to He Ronger and Xu Chong in an almost pious manner, his tone full of sincerity and respect.

"You two young heroes are truly outstanding. I will report to the headmaster right now that you have not only passed the test of the Spirit Ladder, but have also proven your extraordinary abilities with your amazing performance."

As for the question of "what other tests are needed", Lao Li has his own ideas.

In his opinion, anyone who could successfully conquer the Spirit Ladder was already a genius among ten thousand, and Wan Jing Sect would naturally not let go of such a talented disciple.

He knew very well that the arrival of these two people was undoubtedly a precious treasure bestowed by God for the sect, and it must be grasped firmly and there must not be any slackness.

So, Lao Li did not delay any longer, and hurriedly took out a sound transmission talisman from his arms, and lightly tapped his fingertips. A message filled with urgency and joy flew through the space like a flying bird, and headed straight for the headmaster's residence.

Soon, there was a turbulent storm in the dining hall, and a figure came through the air at incredible speed. It was the head of Wan Jing Sect.

He was like a celestial being descending from the sky, with a slender figure and fluttering clothes. He stood in front of He Ronger and Xu Chong, surrounded by a majesty and kindness that could not be underestimated.

The sudden change made the two men stunned, but seeing Lao Li's respectful attitude towards the old man, they soon realized that this person was the legendary head of the Wan Jing Sect.

Contrary to the previous prejudice, the old man in front of me not only did not have the slightest sinister or mean air, but instead had a transcendent temperament, and his eyes revealed a kind of wisdom and compassion that saw through the world without losing warmth, which made people involuntarily respect him.

"Could it be that what we have known all along has been wrong?" He Ronger and Xu Chong pondered in their hearts.

The leader before them was far from the "cult" image they had heard of. He was more like a hermit master, otherworldly and otherworldly.

At this moment, the doubts in their hearts became even greater.

Sect leader Ying Guangyuan looked at the two young men in front of him, his excitement evident in his words.

He stroked his long, thick beard, looked them up and down, and nodded continuously: "Not bad, not bad. He has a handsome face, bright eyes, and a broad forehead. He is a kind and upright person."

Hearing this, He Ronger and Xu Chong became even more confused.

The Wanjing Sect is a heresy, so why does it still care about the moral conduct of its disciples? Isn't this ironic?

At this time, the cook, Lao Li, saw something from the expressions of the two people, and his face immediately turned cold. He said unhappily: "Could it be that you two also think that our Wanjing Sect is the 'cult' they are talking about?"

He Ronger felt a little embarrassed when she heard this.

She knew that thinking like this was disrespectful to the sect leader in front of him, but it was also a fact that the Wan Jing Sect did not have a very good reputation in the spiritual world.

Sect Leader Ying Guangyuan was not angry either. He smiled and looked at He Ronger and said, "Since you two think that our Wan Jing Sect is not good, why did you come to participate in the assessment?"

Xu Chong blurted out: "Don't you just want to come here to get some cultivation resources?"
