"If you don’t continue forward, you’ll be expelled!" Ye Lang said.
The people around were initially thinking not to advance too far, but when they heard Ye Lang’s words, they beca flustered.
The trial definitely couldn’t end so easily in failure.
Ahead was the Star Tower, and now soone had entered, but they were advancing cautiously, afraid of encountering a major problem!
Tang Zhong remained hidden among the crowd!
He looked at the people around him, each one staring fearfully ahead, swallowing hard; it seed everyone was very nervous!
Soon, he followed the flow of people into the Star Tower.
Tang Zhong was very cautious, after what happened last ti, Tang Zhong definitely didn’t think Ye Lang was an ordinary person—his mind was full of trouble, and a single careless step could lead to disaster!
He now stood at the very end; others had entered the Star Tower, and now he followed them inside as well.
Upon entering, darkness enveloped him, but as vision returned, he found himself in another world!
This world had a sky too, and it was bright!
In front of him appeared a massive staircase!
The steps rose straight into the sky, with no end in sight; there were no other paths around, only this staircase. Assuming nothing unexpected happened, the first trial of the Star Tower was to climb these stairs!
People were already ascending.
One could see that when they first started, it seed easy, but after a while, their pace slowed down quickly.
This staircase is peculiar!
But with no other way to go, Tang Zhong took a step onto the staircase, and after only two steps, he felt like weights were tied to his legs, making it hard to move!
The examination... perhaps it had begun!
Outside the Star Tower!
Ye Lang was with a female assistant!
Ye Lang sat there!
The assistant ca to report the situation: "Commander Ye, everyone has entered the Star Tower this ti!"
Ye Lang nodded slowly: "Understood, keep an eye on the situation inside; let know of any abnormalities!"
The assistant acknowledged.
"By the way, pay attention to the person nad Tang Zhong from last ti!" Ye Lang instructed.
"Yes, Commander!" The assistant started monitoring outside.
Ye Lang then lay down slowly; he knew what the first trial was. Unless sothing went wrong, today many would not pass the first trial as things might not be as they appear!
At this mont, everyone participating in the examination was climbing the stairs, each one cautiously stepping, and honestly, it was very heavy.
After walking a few steps, Tang Zhong found it too boring, thinking, are they making them climb ladders indefinitely?
He simply sat on the steps, pondering over the issue, as he wasn’t breaking any rules!
And the people around continued forward, gritting their teeth as they climbed!
The most formidable person had already ascended eleven steps!
They were deeply envied by the others!
Because the first, surely had to pass the examination!
But others wouldn’t admit defeat easily and followed closely behind!
Tang Zhong didn’t move; he was thinking, sitting on the steps, facing the direction they had just climbed from.
He observed that the area they ca from was shrouded in mist, completely indistinct!
The path he walked was no longer visible, as if it had disappeared!
No, this created many doubts for Tang Zhong; everyone had to realize that climbing these steps might be deadly; if the examination aid to capture contenders, nobody would pass the first trial!
Clearly, the examination must be testing sothing else!
But now, he hadn’t seen through it yet!
Next to him, a young-looking person also paused, sweating profusely, and stopped beside Tang Zhong: "Brother, why have you stopped?"
"Haven’t you stopped too?" Tang Zhong replied.
"I’m just tired!" the person laughed.
"Then I’m tired as well!" Tang Zhong said.
At this mont, soone walked past them, expressing contempt as if he had a vendetta against the young person beside Tang Zhong, bypassing them with a sneer: "Sang Kun, with soone like you, dreaming of passing the contenders’ examination—dream away!"
Afterward, he sneered with contempt!
The person beside Tang Zhong, nad Sang Kun, apparently a powerful fighter, heard the words and his face soured: "Mind your own business!"
"Ha-ha, you Iron Sand people are all useless trash! You garbage still want to take the contenders’ examination? You fit for it? If you can’t, obediently stay here and don’t move!" the contemptuous person continued.
Afterward, without another word, he kept going!
Sang Kun trembled in anger: "Damn it, it’s infuriating!"
"Who is that?" Tang Zhong, feeling favorable toward Sang Kun, asked.
Sang Kun heard Tang Zhong’s inquiry and laughed: "Not worth ntioning, just an enemy. Judging from your youth in the contenders’ examination, you must be a rising talent!"
"Black Fla Cave Heaven!" Tang Zhong disclosed his origin.
Sang Kun’s eyes widened: "You’re Tang Zhong from Black Fla Cave Heaven!"
"You know ?" Tang Zhong was slightly surprised.
He had never t this person before!
"No, I’ve only heard of it. Black Fla Cave Heaven rose from a minor force to a major one in just a month, shocking the entire Great Wilderness. So I inquired about Black Fla Cave Heaven, hearing the na Tang Zhong, and figured the owner of that na must be extraordinary. I thought it was an older person, but it turns out you’re young, so very young!" Sang Kun exclaid.
"You’re teasing!" Tang Zhong laughed.
’Well, since I’m in the contenders’ examination, staying here isn’t helpful. Let’s continue; I don’t know why climbing this damn ladder isn’t just normal exhaustion!" Sang Kun prepared to proceed and stood up!
Tang Zhong was still mulling things over: "By the way, did you notice anything strange as you climbed up?"
Sang Kun paused, shaking his head: "Isn’t the examination just about climbing this staircase?"
"Not necessarily!" Tang Zhong said.
He didn’t believe the examination was that simple!
Sang Kun paused: "Brother, did you find anything unusual?"
"No, but I think the examination isn’t just about climbing stairs!" Tang Zhong stated.
