Extraordinary Medical Saint in the City Chapter 855 853: So Much for These Geniuses! (Fourth Update)

"Cough... I..."

A hint of embarrassnt appeared on Lin Fan's face.

"Linglong, you should climb first. I feel like I've gained so... hmm... insight, so I'll wait here for a bit. You go ahead!"

"Well... alright then."

Linglong nodded slightly, cast a puzzled glance at Lin Fan, then turned and climbed.

But Lin Fan felt utterly frustrated inside!

"Emperor Jade, what's going on here?"

He even thought the stairs were deliberately targeting him.

Lin Fan didn't believe the first-level stairs exerted a terrifying pressure of ten trillion pounds.

If that were true, hardly anyone would be able to climb up!

Indeed.

Lin Fan could claim that in the Saint Emperor Realm, no one could withstand a pressure of ten trillion pounds. To know that, ten trillion pounds equals a thousand Cosmical Force, even a Ninth Rank Saint Emperor would struggle, let alone those Sixth Rank, Fifth Rank, or Fourth Rank Saint Emperors; it's simply impossible!

But.

Lin Fan stepped onto the first layer of stairs, and suddenly he was subjected to a pressure of ten trillion pounds?

This must be a joke!!!

"I get it, Little Fan Fan! These stairs don't exert a fixed pressure—they apply different pressure depending on the person," Emperor Jade thought and answered.

"What do you an?" Lin Fan's heart stirred.

Emperor Jade continued, "Look, just now Gao Qing, Matthew and the others only climbed a few dozen steps and didn't even reach the first Heavenly Palace, which ans their potential is poor, and their talents are poor too, they can only climb to about fifty steps and had to give up! It's simply because their potential and capabilities are limited, reaching their limits!"

"Your limits are far beyond fifty steps... and even these stairs see your potential as infinite, far stronger than those people, which is why when you climbed the first step, it gave you your maximum power limit! Making you bear a pressure of ten trillion pounds!"

"In other words, the greater the potential, the greater the pressure!"

After listening to Emperor Jade's explanation, Lin Fan was speechless.

"What kind of crap setting is this? Ten trillion pounds of pressure is almost my limit now, and if this massive force keeps pressing down while climbing, increasing the strength... won't I be crushed to death?" Lin Fan felt like swearing.

"Hehe, it's close to the limit but not yet the limit, right?" Emperor Jade chuckled.

"That's true, my current limit to withstand pressure is about 11 trillion, and there's room to increase by another 1 trillion pounds." Lin Fan nodded slightly.

"So! The main purpose of these stairs, aside from testing your willpower and determination, is crucially ant for you to surpass your limits. You don't even need to climb these stairs for Kunwu Heavenly Venerate's inheritance; you can treat it as breaking through your own limits as you climb!"

"And initially, the first batch of people who rushed forward—there were hundreds—each thought that everyone could share the pressure, so they feared nothing! This gave them an unyielding courage, reducing the impact of the stair's pressure on them! But... in doing so, they've likely violated Kunwu Heavenly Venerate's rules, and they might face punishnt soon!" Emperor Jade said cheerfully.

"You an..." Lin Fan's eyes brightened.

He understood!

Kunwu Heavenly Venerate set these stairs mainly for challengers to break through their limits.

Then.

To see how the challenger's mindset is.

Ninety-nine Heavenly Palaces, with a hundred steps between each palace.

Which ans if you break through your limit 9,900 tis, you can obtain Kunwu Heavenly Venerate's inheritance!

This is unrelated to your strength, even a Golden Core Stage cultivator appearing here can still climb the stairs!

Because each person faces a completely different pressure.

Everyone has a chance!

"Let's go!"

Lin Fan stopped wasting words with Emperor Jade and stepped forward again.

"Crack, crack, crack, crack..."

As Lin Fan took the second step, he felt his whole body subjected to a much greater pressure, his body trembled fiercely once more, and blood erged at the corner of his mouth.

But.

Lin Fan steadied himself and continued moving, taking the third step!

...

anwhile, the first group to rush ahead had already broken the first hundred steps, arriving at the front of the first Heavenly Palace.

"What should we do? Should we get one percent of Kunwu Heavenly Venerate's inheritance?"

"No need! Let's keep going!"

"Right, right! Keep going, keep climbing, just one percent inheritance is worthless!"

"Hehe, I thought these stairs were hard to climb, turns out it's so easy, just like that!"

"Exactly!"

"Keep going..."

Everyone was extrely excited and continued to climb towards the second Heavenly Palace.

Then.

The third Heavenly Palace!

United by hundreds, their speed increased rapidly, and they were about to climb to the tenth Heavenly Palace.

Suddenly.

Soone looked back and found Lin Fan still struggling on the stairs beneath the first Heavenly Palace.

"Haha! Look!"

"It's that kid nad Lin Fan!"

"Eh, why is it him? Isn't he supposed to be strong? Why is he still here? I recall he was impressive outside, even defeating Young Master Jian!"

"Now it looks like he's just a useless fool who can't even climb the first stairs!"

"Yeah! Total waste, let's ignore him and keep climbing!"

...

Everyone laughed mockingly and kept moving forward...

A prodigy unexpectedly left behind, excited these people greatly, each showing their ugly faces.

Their speed accelerated, seemingly using no force.

They reached the tenth layer.

Equalling the positions of Gu Tong, Ling Jian, Feng Yu, and Huangfu Ru.

It was clear that Gu Tong, Ling Jian, Feng Yu, and Huangfu Ru were extrely struggling, totally different from the ease of the hundreds' large group!

"What's going on?"

"Haha! These geniuses are nothing special!"

"Hehe!"

"Co, let's keep going!" The hundreds' large group was extrely excited.

Then.

Continue forward, to the twentieth layer!

These hundreds of people reached the stairs where Jian Wushuang was,

but when ascending to the twentieth layer, they finally began to feel the strain.

Keep climbing!

Twenty-first layer!

Twenty-second layer!

...

Twenty-ninth layer!

Thirtieth layer!

Finally, this group of hundreds climbed all the way to the outside of the thirtieth Heavenly Palace.

When they were about to keep climbing to the thirty-first Heavenly Palace, the first person to step on the stairs...

Suddenly.

"Bang!"

Without warning, he exploded into a mist of blood and died!

"This..."

The others who wanted to continue climbing the stairs drew a sharp breath and stopped in fear.

"What's going on?"

Sweat dripped crazily from the foreheads of many, their faces extrely grim.

At that mont.

A phantom appeared in the sky, and it was the shadow of Kunwu Heavenly Venerate.

"Hmph!"

Kunwu Heavenly Venerate's shadow, "Trying to deceive with such tricks? You all deserve death! But considering that you went through great hardships to get here, death is pardonable, but punishnt inevitable! Each will have their cultivation reduced by three minor realms as a warning!"

As the words fell.

"Buzz!"

A light burst forth in the thirtieth Heavenly Palace, enveloping these hundreds of people.

A terrifying force drew away a large amount of spiritual power from everyone!

Then.

The cultivations of these hundreds plumted frantically, like a dam breaking a river!
