1337 Repelled
There were a total of 99 steps on the Cloud Ascension Stairs. Every step looked identical. Apart from the clouds and mist suffusing above, they looked no different from ordinary stairs.
Because of the appearance of the Cloud Ascension Stairs, all the trial disciples ran over to watch. Some people walked up tentatively and realized that it was not difficult, so they continued forward. Many people could easily walk past ten steps, but when they took a step forward and wanted to reach the eleventh step, the situation suddenly reversed.
“Ah…”
The first person to walk up the eleventh step had just touched the platform of the eleventh step when he was immediately sent flying by a powerful force and fell over the spot. Furthermore, he fell quite heavily.
Seeing that someone had been sent flying, those who were about to step onto the eleventh step immediately retracted their feet and did not dare to advance rashly. However, a few people who overestimated themselves still raised their feet and were sent flying tragically.
“This is the Cloud Ascension Stairs. This is really the Cloud Ascension Stairs.”
“I didn’t expect the Cloud Ascension Stairs to appear in the new student secret realm trial. With our current ability, how can we walk past the Cloud Ascension Stairs?”
“Everyone, look. Chu Yunhan has reached the eleventh step.”
“Gu Qingning went up too.”
Sang Ruoxin had originally followed Chu Yunhan up the stairs, but when she saw that someone had been sent flying when they reached the eleventh step, she did not dare to go forward anymore. Instead, she stood on the tenth step without moving.
However, when Chu Yunhan walked up the eleventh step and was not sent flying, she mustered up a little courage and took a step forward, wanting to step onto the eleventh step.
She liked Chu Yunhan. Only when she was not much different from Chu Yunhan in all aspects could they be together. If the difference between the two was too great, she would not have a chance at all. The Chu family would never accept a wife who was much weaker than Chu Yunhan, even if she was the granddaughter of the King of the Central Continent.
If Chu Yunhan could reach the eleventh step, so could she…
Just as Sang Ruoxin mustered up the courage to take a step forward and take the eleventh step, she was sent flying by a powerful force like the others. She returned to her original spot and fell quite heavily.
“How come?”
Chu Yunhan, who was walking in front, ignored Sang Ruoxin, who had been sent flying back. He continued to walk towards the twelfth step.
Sang Ruoxin was unconvinced. She got up from the ground and continued to walk up the Cloud Ascension Stairs, wanting to catch up to Chu Yunhan. However, when she reached the eleventh step, she was still sent flying.
“How could this be?”
“Chu Yunhan is the number one genius of the Central Continent and has a Saint Realm cultivation level now. If you want to compare yourself to him, don’t overestimate yourself.” Huo Lieyun could not help but mock Sang Ruoxin.
“Huo Lieyun, shut up.” Sang Ruoxin was extremely angry, but she was not in the mood to quarrel with Huo Lieyun now. Being left far behind by Chu Yunhan made her feel very uncomfortable.
The Chu family did not value status in their children’s marriage, but talent. No matter how precious your status was, as long as your talent was not enough, the Chu family would never accept it.
On the other hand, as long as your talent was good enough, even if you did not have any ident.i.ty or background, you could still obtain the Chu family’s recognition.
She was the granddaughter of the King of the Central Continent and the Young Miss of the Sang family. She had been quite talented since she was young, so she could not be much inferior to Chu Yunhan, so she could not give up.
Sang Ruoxin ignored Huo Lieyun and continued to walk on the Cloud Ascension Stairs. However, before she walked up the Cloud Ascension Stairs this time, she glanced at Xue Fanxin, who had been on the first step for a long time. She even mocked her, “Don’t tell me you can’t even walk past the first step?”
