Global Demon Transformation.

Chapter 563: Climbing the Ladder to Heaven

Lin Feng underestimated the value of the Flying Dragon Steed, and also underestimated the desire of others for it.

After they entered the camp, people kept approaching them. After exchanging a few polite words, they began to inquire about the Flying Dragon Steed.

Some people asked how to find and tame the flying dragon horse, while others suggested renting a baby ginseng, offering a hefty rent and collateral.

Those students with family or financial backing were more direct, asking Lin Feng to name his conditions, and agreeing to them as long as they weren't excessive.

In just one hour, 17 people came to inquire.

Those who come to inquire are all students with considerable ability or impressive backgrounds, and they come not only from China but also from all over the world.

With the help of the Flying Dragon Steed, Lin Feng and his companions, who were already attracting attention, seemed to become the most popular contestants.

After their arrival, even the conflicts between countries subsided considerably.

To lure the Flying Dragon Steed, the only option is to use Ginseng Babies, so Lin Feng naturally wouldn't just rent out Ginseng Babies at will.

The ginseng baby has already been exposed, so there's no point in hiding it anymore.

But others don't have the Substitute Soul Skill!

The baby ginseng might get eaten if you're not careful.

Even if you manage to capture a flying dragon horse, taming it won't be easy; you'll need the help of duck eggs.

At this stage, Lin Feng does not want to reveal Ya Dan's abilities.

"Sorry, the baby ginseng escaped because we were trying to lure the flying dragon horse."

Lin Feng made up a random excuse to decline, not wanting to explain too much, and seemed to be in a bad mood.

"Name your conditions as long as you can tame the flying dragon horse!"

A tall, thin young man said that his name was Li Xuandong, and he was also a contestant in the popularity poll, ranking 23rd in the popularity poll, and his strength was not bad.

He couldn't tell whether Lin Feng was telling the truth or not, or whether he was deliberately making excuses.

Logically speaking, the conditions he offered were not low, and Lin Feng had no reason to refuse.

Undeterred by the rejection, Li Xuandong continued to raise the bar, offering a price of one billion Singapore dollars to rent the ginseng baby.

If you can help tame the flying dragon horse and succeed, I am willing to give five billion Singapore dollars.

Although global currencies are depreciating these days, five billion Singapore dollars is still a large sum of money.

Seeing that Lin Feng did not respond, Li Xuandong could only look at Ye Xing and Yun Tianqi, signaling with his eyes to ask them to put in a good word for him.

He wasn't familiar with Lin Feng, and since Lin Feng didn't give him any face, there was nothing he could do.

As fellow Glory players, he and Ye Xing had a good relationship, but seeing Ye Xing shake his head and smile bitterly, and Yun Tianqi not reacting, he could only leave helplessly.

"I never expected the Flying Dragon Steed to be so popular. People from all countries and professions want it."

Ye Xing sighed.

"Who wouldn't want a magical beast that they can carry around with them!"

Yun Tianqi laughed.

Everyone would want to own a mount like that.

Previously, he longed to possess them but could not see any hope of capturing and taming them. Now, there are successful examples, sixteen in one go, with an absurdly high success rate. If it were him, he would also try every means to come and inquire.

If the Avengers didn't have such a glorious record and such a great reputation, I'm afraid some people would have already started to threaten them.

After that, Lin Feng and his group stayed in the camp and did not wander around.

Having just arrived at the camp, they also needed to learn about the trainees from various countries, who would become their future competitors.

However, there were simply too many top-tier competitors this time, so they could only learn about some of the more famous students and try to avoid conflicts with them in future matches.

There's nothing shameful about avoiding a fight if you can't win at this stage.

"I heard that some students have already quietly broken through to the King rank, and I conservatively estimate that there are no fewer than five of them," Yu Qiao said.

He had just left the group and learned quite a bit of information.

Some students have been suppressing their strength in order to participate in the King Becomes Plan. There are actually quite a few such students. Some of them broke through and became kings while being hunted by aliens in the Land of Fallen Gods.

"They've all become kings, and they can still participate in the Kingship Program? Are we supposed to fight against the kings? That's so unfair!"

Dong Yunan asked in a puzzled tone, her voice somewhat serious and complaining.

She was already under a lot of pressure, and now she has to compete with the King of Glory. Just thinking about it gives me a headache.

"Of course you can. According to you, do you mean we have to wait until the very end to become a king? According to the rules, as long as you haven't become a king before registering, it's fine. If you have the ability, becoming a king or even an emperor is no problem!"

Ye Xing said with a smile, while patting Dong Yunan on the head.

Even though his strength has improved a lot, he still feels pressured to compete with the king.

Fortunately, this is an elimination tournament, so in the early stages we shouldn't have to compete with those strong players; we can eliminate some of the weaker ones first.

"I don't even dare to dream of becoming a king. I'm still a child, and I haven't even graduated from university yet!"

Dong Yunan said weakly.

Everyone burst into laughter and couldn't help but look at Lin Feng.

Indeed, compared to most of the contestants, they could all be considered children. Some of the contestants were over fifty years old, and their children were older than them.

They were all dragged and pulled by Lin Feng to a height that didn't belong to them.

This is not a plan they can participate in at this stage, nor is it someone they should be in contact with at this stage.

The night was calm.

No one left the camp that night, nor did anyone devour the spirits; everyone stayed obediently inside the barrier.

The King's Plan will officially begin tomorrow.

Everyone is adjusting their mindset.

The next day.

The time came to nine o'clock.

At this point, staff called everyone to gather and began counting the number of people.

Those injured in the previous conflict and fighting have come out of the treatment room, some even being carried out.

Although they were seriously injured, they had not given up hope.

The results of the statistics came out quickly, and the crowd discussed it animatedly, creating a noisy atmosphere. Their expressions varied, some indifferent, some angry, and some fearful.

The total number of participants in the King's Achievement Program, including trainees and assistants, was 2499. However, the actual number counted at this time was only 1893.

There are 606 fewer people.

The elimination rate for just one task was nearly 25%, far exceeding expectations.

Of these 606 people, more than half were killed or injured; very few actually gave up voluntarily. As for the exact number of deaths, injuries, and those who gave up, there was no breakdown, and no one really cared.

"Such a high attrition rate!" Ye Qiu exclaimed.

This was just a group task, and a quarter of the participants were eliminated. Keep in mind that the King's Plan has not even truly begun.

"This is a deliberate attempt to eliminate so many people!" Lin Feng said.

The meeting point for the King's Ascension Project was originally in a desert on Earth, but it has now been moved to the Land of Fallen Gods on the Divine Martial Continent. This is not just a change in the meeting location, but a change in the overall style of the King's Ascension Project.

Previously, many people have paid a huge price to obtain student slots, or even assistant slots.

Everyone understands that only a small percentage of people can truly become kings, perhaps only one in ten, or even fewer.

However, many people believe that even if they are eliminated, there will definitely be many benefits in the learning process, and even the connections they make are worth the price of admission.

This is why some people, even knowing they have no hope of becoming king, or even being eliminated in the first two rounds, still want to secure a spot.

This viewpoint was not wrong in itself.

It has simply changed.

Perhaps the situation was more severe, time was more pressing, or perhaps the aliens' revenge was too ruthless, the style of the King's Plan also changed accordingly.

The official team had no intention of hiding elimination data; otherwise, they wouldn't have released it directly.

After the statistics were presented, there were no words of comfort or encouragement. As the barrier gradually dissipated, the group began to leave the camp in an orderly manner under the guidance of the staff.

Thousands of people marched forward, making a great commotion.

"There is the figure of an extraordinary person."

Lin Feng was in the main group, surrounded by other contestants. He suddenly looked up and saw a figure flapping its wings four or five hundred meters in the air. It was an alien.

However, as an elderly man rose into the air, the strange man quickly disappeared.

"Where are we going?" Dong Yunan asked.

"Nine times out of ten, they're going to the Heavenly Ladder."

Lin Feng guessed.

Within the land where gods fell, there is a sacred place called the Temple.

According to information published on the Martial Arts Forum, the temple houses a large number of memorial tablets and 108 statues of extraordinary individuals.

Those who died and left behind memorial tablets were all extraordinary emperors.

Those whose statues are left behind are the best among the emperors, and are well-known figures in the Divine Martial Continent.

The statue contains the spirit and martial arts legacy of the deceased emperor.

This is the most important place for the inheritance of the extraordinary!
The Heavenly Ladder leads to the Holy Temple, and upon reaching a certain height, one can also temper their body.

Every year, a large number of extraordinary individuals enter the Land of Fallen Gods, climb the Heavenly Ladder, and attempt to enter the Holy Temple to obtain the Emperor's inheritance.

However, very few succeed.

Even if you successfully climb the ladder to heaven and enter the temple, it does not mean that you will receive the inheritance.

And they are now heading in the direction of the temple.

Just as Lin Feng had predicted, two hours later they arrived at their destination and the main force stopped.

Everyone looked up at the sky and saw a huge cloud ladder, without any support, like a giant dragon, soaring straight into the sky.

Above the cloud ladder, a magnificent, golden palace can be vaguely seen.

Not only Lin Feng, but everyone else had also guessed the destination, so they weren't surprised, but were simply awestruck by the magnificence of the Heavenly Ladder.

Below the Heavenly Ladder, a kilometer or two away, thousands of extraordinary individuals were already waiting, silently watching them.

Faced with the cold and fierce gazes of thousands of supernatural beings, many people felt a chill in their hearts, and the atmosphere became somewhat heavy and tense for a moment.

"Just focus on the competition, don't worry about anything else."

Not far from Lin Feng, an old man with white hair smiled and said something, then slowly walked towards the strange people.

One after another, figures, some disabled and some old, walked toward the supernatural beings. As they advanced, the supernatural beings began to retreat, but always maintained a distance of one kilometer.

The strange man didn't leave either, but silently watched the contestants.

"What are you looking at!"

Yu Qiao said unhappily.

"It's no big deal to just look. I love seeing people who don't like me but can't do anything about it."

Yun Tianqi laughed.

Lin Feng also surveyed the alien troops. With the protection of the elderly king, the aliens certainly wouldn't dare to approach easily. They were mostly just there to watch the show, so there was nothing to worry about.

After the main force stopped, an elderly white man in combat gear leaped up and floated in mid-air. His name was Igor, a Martial Emperor, and one of the leaders of this expedition.

This time, there are three emperors and more than three hundred kings protecting the contestants.

This is why they were able to travel safely and without hindrance.

"As you can see, the first part of the King's Plan is the Heavenly Ladder right before us!"

Igor hovered in mid-air, looking down at the crowd below. His right hand pointed to the Heavenly Ladder, and he slowly said, "The Heavenly Ladder has 999 steps. Only by climbing the 950th step can you enter the Temple!"

"The moment you step onto the Heavenly Ladder, you only have two hours to climb. Once that time is up, the Heavenly Ladder will reject your presence. If you don't leave by the time you reach the 950th floor, it will teleport you directly to the Temple!"

"During the process of climbing the ladder to heaven, people can help each other."

"Those who fail to climb 700 steps within two hours will be eliminated, and the bottom 300 will be eliminated."

"Okay, let's get started."

Strong people don't like long-winded nonsense. After explaining the rules of the competition, Igor announced that the plan would begin.

The moment the words fell, figures rushed toward the Heavenly Ladder.

The rules of the competition are very simple; there is no difference in the order, so there's nothing to hesitate about.
