When Wen Peng saw Wang Xiao turning his finger on Li Er, he felt very happy. In this way, Li Er would end up with the same fate as himself. He would naturally not mention what happened today when he returned to the imperial capital, and he would be able to save his face.
Although Li Er didn't know what Wen Peng was thinking, his face was very ugly at this time. He didn't want to kneel down and beg for mercy to Wang Xiao in front of so many younger brothers, but if he was beaten and the comprehension test was terminated, it would inevitably affect the test scores and let him He cannot hold his head high in the family, which Li Er cannot accept, which is why Wen Peng is so resigned.
Gritting his teeth, Li Er looked at Wang Xiao and said in a deep voice: "Brother, as long as you let me go, you can give me any favors you want. I am a descendant of the Li family in the imperial capital. My name is Li Yu. I will be a student of Shanhe University in the future. "
Wang Xiao smiled faintly and said softly: "You have three seconds. If you don't kowtow, I will beat you to death!"
Hearing Wang Xiao's cold words, Wen Peng grinned and said: "Big brother is domineering, you are my big brother, awesome!"
Li Yu's face turned green and red, and she said coldly: "A man born between heaven and earth, how can he live in depression for a long time, let alone kneel down."
When Wang Xiao heard this, he was about to kill Li Yu, but he saw Li Yu knelt down on the ground and shouted loudly: "Heaven will give this man a great responsibility, and he must first work hard for his determination. Today Li Yu pays homage to my elder brother!"
Li Yu's kneeling and shouting made Wang Xiao a little confused. Wen Peng on the side looked at Li Yu in shock, as if they were getting to know each other again. All the younger brothers also looked at Li Yu in confusion. My brain is buzzing.
Although the boys were confused, they all felt relieved. It would be best if they didn't have to fight. This way they wouldn't have to end the test now, and the score would be a few points higher.
After a moment of confusion, Wang Xiao showed an interesting smile, looked at Li Yu, and said lightly: "You are a talent. Today I vividly understand the meaning of being able to bend and stretch."
After saying that, Wang Xiao turned around and walked up the stairs, ignoring Wen Peng and Li Yu. The two looked at each other, got up at the same time, and shouted loudly: "Brother, wait for us!"
The two of them ran upwards with all their strength, and the younger brother behind them immediately followed. Soon, Wen Peng and Li Yu ran to Wang Xiao panting, smiling ingratiatingly: "Brother, we don't know your name yet!"
Wang Xiao turned his head to look at Wen Peng and smiled faintly: "Do you want to take revenge on me? It doesn't matter. You don't need to change your surname when walking or sitting down. My name is Li Hong! Remember, Li Hong, the seventh level of the Li family in the base of Guanggao City Qualifications!”
"No, no" Wen Peng and Li Yu denied in unison, and immediately explained: "We just want to know the name of the eldest brother so we can know who we are hanging out with."
Wang Xiao glanced at the two of them, smiled playfully, exerted force on his feet, rushed upwards, disappeared in front of the two of them, and ran towards the higher steps.
Wen Peng and Li Yu looked at Wang Xiao's back. It was not until he disappeared that Li Yu put away his smile and said with humiliation and resentment: "Do you think what he said is true or false?"
Wen Peng also had a calm look on his face, and said seriously: "It doesn't matter whether it is true or not, but Li Hong must be someone he knows, and there is a high probability that he has enmity with him. When we get to Shanhe University, we will follow Li Hong to find him. Of course we can find him! Then..."
Li Yu nodded and said through gritted teeth: "Keep the shame of today in mind and make him look good in the future!"
Wang Xiao, who continued to climb up, naturally didn't know that Wen Peng and Li Yu were plotting against him. However, even if they knew, it didn't matter. Such a playboy was not qualified to be in Wang Xiao's eyes.
The higher up, Wang Xiao felt the greater pressure brought by the ladder. He seemed to be locked by a breath and oppressed by an momentum, making each step take more strength.
There are also a lot fewer candidates around. The number of candidates who can walk up to the 30th step is significantly reduced. The steps seem much empty. Basically, you can only see a person every two or three meters.
Continuing upward, there are fewer and fewer people around Wang Xiao, and the steps are getting smaller and narrower. The whole mountain seems to get smaller and smaller as it goes up, like a pyramid.
When Wang Xiao reached the fortieth level, he felt like he was walking in water. He needed strength to break through the invisible restraints in the air, and climbed up with all his strength. When he looked up, he could still only see the water inserted into the blue sky and white clouds. The mountain peaks and the end of the ladder are still invisible.
When Wang Xiao reached the fiftieth step, he felt like water in the air, pulling his legs backwards, making it require more effort to climb up. At the same time, every step he took caused a circle of small invisible ripples. .
Looking back, there is a layer of clouds below, making it impossible to see the way we came. All the stairs below disappear into the white clouds. No one can be seen or heard below. Everything seems extremely peaceful.
Standing on the fiftieth step, Wang Xiao thought of a poem in his mind, "I want to ride the wind back home, but I'm afraid of the beautiful buildings and jade buildings. It's so cold at high places. I dance to clear my shadow, how can I feel like I'm in the human world."
It seemed that he hadn't walked very long or climbed very high, but Wang Xiao couldn't see the road below or hear the people below. It seemed that he had climbed to a very high place.
Maybe the rules of the ladder are like this! The position is not high, but I feel that I am already in a high position. Naturally, my authority and airs are very high. I can no longer see the situation below, and I have lost my original intention to step up.
Occasionally, some people passed by, including boys and girls, young men and young women, and very few middle-aged men and charming elder sisters. Wang Xiao looked at the scenery along the way and continued to move towards the blue sky and white clouds.
When they reached the seventieth step, there were almost no people on the ladder. Wang Xiao felt that the ladder seemed to have shrunk a lot. With the naked eye, he could see the ladder next door. Looking left and right, he realized that the ladder at this time was no longer less than 100 meters wide.
Looking around, eight ladders were already close together. From the situation of the ladders, Wang Xiao judged that this mountain peak was a pyramid. The farther down, the wider it became, and the more people it could accommodate, while only a few people could be accommodated at the top. people.
Looking at the No. 4 ladder where he was, Wang Xiao found that there were only more than a hundred people standing with him on the 70th step. Most of them were teenagers and young men and women. There were only a few middle-aged men and women, and almost no people. elder.
Wang Xiao estimated that the situation on other ladders was similar. After understanding the situation, Wang Xiao stepped up to the 71st step. As soon as he entered, he felt a huge pressure coming on him. Every step required strength. Increased by half.
What's even more amazing is that Wang Xiao didn't even see the stairs going up. Looking around, he saw that the 71st step was in the shape of a disk, connected to other ladders. Looking up, he still couldn't see the top of the mountain, but there was a mountain in front of him. There are no steps to go up, and there are no steps to go down.
The pressure from all around was like a wave, constantly beating Wang Xiao's body. It took a lot of effort to stand firm. At this time, there was no way to go up. Wang Xiao sat down cross-legged to resist the pressure from the surrounding momentum. The pressure brought by this test is waiting for other candidates to climb to the seventy-first step.
On the 70th step of Ladder No. 4, hundreds of candidates witnessed Wang Xiao ascending to the 71st step, so they all tried their best to climb to the 71st step.
A middle-aged man, with his face flushed and beads of sweat on his forehead, struggled to step onto the 71st step. Before he could be happy, a huge pressure hit him and slapped him directly. Fly out and disappear on the ladder.
Seeing this, the candidates behind immediately understood that the aura pressure of the 71st level was much greater than that of the 70th level, and they would be eliminated immediately if they were not careful.
Under the pressure of huge momentum, the candidates behind them stepped onto the 71st step one after another after being fully prepared. However, there were still some candidates who could not withstand the huge pressure brought by the sudden change in momentum and were ejected out of the competition.
As more and more candidates arrived at the 71st step, Wang Xiao became more and more lively. Many candidates gathered together to discuss the missing steps.
Feeling the noisy voices, Wang Xiao stood up from the ground and looked around. At this moment, there were many people on the seventy-first circular steps, observing and analyzing something in groups.
When a young man saw Wang Xiao getting up, he immediately came over and asked: "Brother, I saw that you were one of the first people to appear on the 71st step. Can you tell me what you found? Why? I can’t find the steps up, what the hell is this comprehension test doing?”
Looking at the young man wearing Hongxing Erke clothes in front of him, Wang Xiao shook his head and said in a deep voice: "Like you, I didn't find anything. I only saw that the 8 ladders seemed to be merged together. All the candidates who can climb to the 71st level should be Appearing on this step, maybe you have to wait for everyone to gather before the upward steps appear!"
Hearing Wang Xiao's guess, the young man nodded, stood with Wang Xiao, and said, "I am Qin Hao, from Pengcheng Base, how about you?"
"Wang Xiao, from the base in Guanggao City." Wang Xiao introduced himself, and then asked: "Have you looked around the circle? Have you found anything? How many people are there on the 71st step currently?"
Qin Hao thought for a while and said in a deep voice: "Looking at it, I didn't find anything big. The number of people is almost close to a thousand! Apart from the fact that the pressure I feel is much greater, there is nothing strange about it."
After listening to Qin Hao's words, Wang Xiao pondered. Of the 70 million candidates, only close to a thousand have reached the 71st step. The probability is about one in 100,000.
If you need seventh-level qualifications and above to get ahead, then this ratio is too low, which means there are things you don't know about.
Wang Xiao looked at Qin Hao and asked, "Can you tell me what level of qualification you have?"
Qin Hao glanced at Wang Xiao, pondered for a moment, and said, "What about the eighth-level qualification? Is it related to the qualification?"
Wang Xiao shook his head and said in a deep voice: "I don't know. This is a comprehension test. The focus should be on comprehension. Although I don't know what climbing the steps has to do with comprehension, since the test rules are like this, just follow it."
While Wang Xiao and Qin Hao were discussing, suddenly there was an exclamation from the crowd. The two looked up and saw that the white clouds on the mountain had dispersed, revealing the towering top of the mountain. The surrounding areas of the mountain were as smooth as a mirror, and there were no steps at all. Unable to climb upward.
As the white clouds dissipated, the candidates on the seventy-one steps also saw the top of the mountain in front of them. The visual distance was about a hundred meters high.
After waiting for a long time, except for the white clouds surrounding the mountain, there were no other changes. The candidates around could not help but start discussing again, wondering what the purpose of this mountain was.
