Gao Wu: Become stronger by grinding Erlang Shen's talents

Chapter 913 The Lagging Human Genius (Seeking Monthly Tickets)
"It's the ranking list of the Golden Ladder."

Someone spoke up, while the others looked at the leaderboard.

"As expected, the Dragon Clan is in first place."

"The Dragon Clan is determined to win first place this time, and wants to maintain an overwhelming advantage from beginning to end."

"This also aligns with the characteristics of the dragon race."

"They consider themselves the most powerful race in the entire universe."

Some people have already started discussing it.

Lynch, who was on the 800th step, also saw the big screen.

"They've even made a leaderboard."

Is there a prize for first place?

The third senior sister, Zhong He, answered with a smile:
There is no reward for ranking first.

"As long as you reach the finish line, you will receive a reward."

"And the rewards are the same; you won't get more rewards just because you reach the finish line faster."

"Even though there are no rewards, everyone still wants to compete for a higher ranking."

"Because competition is something ingrained in the bones of every race."

"Because it represents the face of a race."

"And the most outstanding geniuses of each race will compete for this ranking."

"We humans will also compete for this ranking."

"This ranking also represents the strength of a race to some extent."

"Therefore, we, the elite races, have no choice but to fight."

“Ion, Levin, and Micah have already started to accelerate.”

"I need to speed things up and get a higher ranking."

Lin Qi looked at the three people in front of him. As soon as the leaderboard appeared, the three of them immediately chose to speed up.

They considered themselves the top geniuses of the human race and felt it was necessary to compete for rankings.

They are now ranked in the top one hundred, far behind other races.

However, as they accelerated, their rankings continued to rise.

It quickly broke into the top 50.

Their goal is to break into the top 10.

Lin Qi shook his head and began to increase his speed slightly.

[5890th Place: Human Race - Lynch!]

……

He glanced at his ranking and was only around 6000th, which was indeed too low.

Although he doesn't care much about rankings.

But ranking too low wouldn't do either. He looked around; there were 1000 steps.

The difference in strength is already apparent.

As time goes on, this gap will only widen.

So he began to quicken his pace, and his climbing speed increased.

"Boom boom!!!"

With each step I took, the mental impact became increasingly intense.

The Soul-Suppressing Cauldron in the consciousness space remained completely still.

At the same time, there is also a strong impact from nine laws.

Under the impact of the domain, he could even see the secret patterns of the laws, and the secret patterns flowing within them.

As the number of steps increases, the impact becomes stronger, and the rules become clearer.

Lin Qi suddenly discovered that he could observe the true meaning and secret patterns of the spatial laws during this process.

They appeared in front of me more clearly than usual.

He can observe by activating the [Golden Eyes].

Observe the spatial principles within it little by little.

[By observing the impact of the laws of space, you have grasped the true meaning of these laws and gained insight into the third profound mystery of the hidden truth.]

[Your understanding of spatial laws +1]

[Your understanding of spatial laws +1]

[Your understanding of spatial laws +1]

……

Lin Qi unknowingly became engrossed in comprehending the laws of space.

He had already memorized the first volume of the Book of Emptiness.

Upon comparison, I immediately gained an understanding.

Lin Qi was pleased, as this test actually had room for improvement in his understanding of the laws.

The higher the step, the stronger the effect.

He should cherish this opportunity.

As for the mental impact, his mental strength has reached 9999 million, and he also has the top-tier secret manual, the Soul-Suppressing Cauldron.

Impacting the mental space is like a gentle breeze on your face.

At the same time, he has a domain composed of three laws, which can easily withstand the impact of the laws, coupled with his top-notch physical qualities.

He is arguably the strongest among all the current geniuses, so his progress is also quite rapid.

At the same time, in order to more clearly comprehend the laws of space, his speed also increased.

So he quickly stepped over the stairs, and his ranking on the leaderboard kept rising.

He began to consistently surpass the other geniuses ranked above him.

"roar~"

At the same time, the Star-Devouring Beast Xiaotian, which was following behind, also chose to speed up after seeing Lin Qi increase his speed.

……

Beyond the Abyss Ruins.

At this moment, hundreds of thousands of geniuses had their eyes fixed on the large green screen in front of them.

They failed to collect 10000 Abyss Tokens and could only watch other geniuses climb the Golden Ladder through the big screen.

There was also a large screen that clearly displayed the rankings of all the members.

The group of geniuses discussed the topic while watching the large screen.

"As expected of the dragon race, they are indeed powerful."

"There are 20 of the top 100 geniuses right now, and each of them is a top genius."

"They want to be dominant from beginning to end."

"And the Celestial Clan is equally powerful; Xuan Ge of the Celestial Clan has already risen to second place."

"He seems to want to take first place as well."

A genius of a certain race spoke up.

Upon hearing this, a member of the Celestial Race clad in golden armor immediately responded arrogantly:
"The dragon race is only fast for a short time; sooner or later, it will be surpassed by our Celestial race."

"Only our Celestial Race is the strongest."

"However, the human race is indeed not doing well; they don't even have any in the top ten right now."

Other races also looked puzzled.

"What's going on? Are humans really that bad?"

"There aren't even any geniuses in the top ten now?"

The hideous, foul-smelling members of the prison clan grinned maliciously:

"Perhaps it's because the human geniuses were killed on their way here."

"Those who come now are all weak."

Within the human formation, Jiang Tao couldn't help but sneer after hearing this:

"This is just the beginning."

"No hurries?"

"The geniuses of our human race all have the potential to shine in the later stages."

"The top three will definitely be human geniuses."

Jiang Miaoyin also spoke up:

As they talked, the major races started arguing, each with its own rival race.

There is debate surrounding the ranking of the Golden Ladder.

Jiang Miaoyin found Lin Qi's ranking and said:

"As expected, Brother Lin Qi is at the back. If there's no reward, he probably won't be interested in the ranking."

Jiang Tao smiled confidently:
"However, with Qi Ge's strength, I feel that if he wants to enter the top ten, it won't be a problem."

"However, there is no reward for the first test, so he will probably be ranked somewhere in between when he enters the second test."

"He will probably only show his true strength during the second test."

"Therefore, the ranking can only be determined by other geniuses."

Jiang Miaoyin spoke:

“We have Ion, Levin, and Micah; they are all top-tier geniuses.”

“Especially since Ion has awakened the Void Body, there is a high probability that he can break into the top ten.”

"They have now surpassed the geniuses of other races and are now in the 30s."

"At their pace, they should be able to break into the top 30 very soon."

Jiang Tao looked at the rankings on the leaderboard and said confidently:

"This time, our human race will definitely be the biggest winner."

"And this is just the beginning."

"Geniuses from races such as the Celestial Race, Dragon Race, and Prison Race will be suppressed."

……

Three hours passed in the blink of an eye.

On the Golden Staircase, the fastest Void Dragon has successfully reached the 2000th step, and its speed remains the fastest.

Even it had slowed down by this point.

Each time you step onto a new step, you need to pause for a while before you can move on to the next step.

"Whoo~"

Xu Minglong turned around and looked behind him at the five steps behind him.

A man clad in silver armor, with handsome features and a powerful aura, also quickly approached.

It remembered the other party: Xuan Ge, a top genius from the Celestial Clan. He was the strongest genius from the Celestial Clan in this secret realm.

It is also its main competitor.

Xuan Ge, with his silver hair, felt the oncoming spiritual and legal impacts, and saw a powerful domain force being released from his body.

A powerful spatial law was released from him.

"This little bit of impact from the laws can't stop me."

Silver patterns appeared all over his body, and a special power condensed from spatial abilities surrounded him.

All the impacts of the laws were completely resisted.

He suddenly sped up and climbed three steps in one go.

Quickly close the distance with the Void Dragon.

Xu Ming knew things weren't going well, so he also sped up.

"Boom!"

A moment later, under the terrifying impact, the two arrived at the same step and walked side by side.

On the leaderboard, the two took turns being number one.

And the rankings are constantly changing.

Not to be outdone, the two increased their speed, widening the gap between themselves and the other geniuses.

Other geniuses were not to be outdone and also sped up their pace.

Soon we reached the 2000-step staircase.

Their acceleration also spurred other geniuses to accelerate as well.

At this moment, Ion and Levin, along with Micah, who were in the 30s, accelerated together.

"Buzz!!"

Three layers of silver patterns appeared on Ion's body, representing three spatial abilities, which condensed into a special void energy.

He was surrounded by void energy, and the laws of space descended upon him, forming a unique domain that withstood the impact.

He spoke with a serious expression:

"Our human race is currently ranked too low. If we don't make it into the top ten, other races will think we are too weak."

"This time I'm going to aim for first place."

Levin, clad in golden armor, nodded and said, "I support you."

"And I also want to compete for a spot in the top ten."

Three layers of golden patterns and one layer of silver patterns appeared on his body.

The powers of the laws of metal and space emerged, along with a terrifying spiritual force emanating from his body.

Like a sharp battle blade bursting forth, its edge fully revealed.

After saying that, the two quickly started climbing.

Mika shook his head behind him and said, "Wait for me!"

"I also want to be in the top ten."

His demeanor was ethereal and unrestrained, with patterns of wind and water appearing on his body, as free and easy as the wind and as gentle as the water.

The two forces combined perfectly.

It has five layers of texture.

With the same power of the three laws bestowed upon him, his climbing speed was equally fast.

The three of them were moving faster and faster.

He quickly surpassed the geniuses of other races, and his ranking rose higher and higher.

He quickly rose from the thirties to the twenties, and after reaching the 2000-step mark,

The mental and legal impacts underwent a qualitative change.

All the geniuses slowed down.

However, the speed of Ion, Levin, and Micah actually increased compared to the others.

Ion, in particular, quickly rose to the top 20.

Just when he was 3000 steps away, he successfully surpassed a dragon genius who was ranked 10th and became 10th.

With this, humanity finally has a genius who has entered the top ten.

At this moment, Zhong He, who had just stepped over 2000 steps, felt a continuous surge of spiritual energy.

Under this impact, she used her mental cultivation technique to resist it.

Unfortunately, she was not a mentalist. Although her mental strength had long been cultivated to its peak, she was indeed inferior to a mentalist in terms of mental power.

Faced with the mental shock, I only felt a wave of dizziness.

Besides, the impact of the laws was not weak at all; feeling the suppression of the domain, one impact after another.

Her domain of laws also began to struggle.

"The strength of this golden staircase is indeed getting greater and greater."

“Last time I came, I only managed to climb 6000 steps before I failed.”

"I have improved in every aspect this time, even my willpower has improved."

"Passing the test of the Golden Ladder is not a problem."

"It just means the ranking won't be too high, and it still can't compare to the top geniuses."

Thinking of this, Zhong He looked at the backs of Yi Ang and the others and felt a little envious.

She wants to have that kind of talent.

"Third Senior Sister!"

Suddenly a familiar voice came from behind her. She turned around and realized that her junior brother Lin Qi had caught up with her without her noticing.

Third Senior Sister Zhong He sighed:

"Junior brother, have you caught up yet?"

"As expected, I still can't compare to you."

"You have surpassed me."

Lin Qi smiled and said, "Third Senior Sister, I'll go first. We'll meet at the finish line."

Third Senior Sister Zhong He also responded with a smile, "See you at the finish line."

Lin Qi and the Star Devouring Beast Xiaotian continued their journey.

He glanced at his ranking.

[Golden Ladder Ranking]

[Rank 869: Human - Lynch]

……

Lin Qi nodded to himself, realizing that he had already entered the top 1000.

And this is just the beginning.

His minimum goal is to get into the top 100.

These top 100 are no ordinary people.

If distributed equally, even among the top ten races, only the top 20 will have a chance to enter.

Some races are equally powerful.

"roar~"

Behind him, the Star-Devouring Beast Xiaotian followed closely, looking as if he still had plenty of energy left.

This only proves that Xiaotian's talent is even greater than imagined.

Maybe they can even make it into the top 100.

"boom!!"

A powerful mental shock came from all directions.

Like a raging wave, each impact is several times stronger than the initial one.

Even his Soul-Suppressing Cauldron began to vibrate from the impact.

“Ding ding!!”

During the tremors, he also felt dizzy.

However, this dizziness is still tolerable.

In addition, the impact of the power of laws is becoming increasingly intense.

In order to counter the impact of the power of the laws, he had to mobilize the source energy in the source core world.

The surrounding energy source is extremely thin, and very little can be mobilized.

Faced with the impact, they could only use the source energy in their own source core.

This also puts a test on the reserves of energy.

His eyes shone with golden light as he observed the emerging spatial laws.

A series of mysterious symbols emerged, and understanding them together gave him a deeper understanding of the laws of space.

"In just a few hours, I have gained a great deal of understanding of the third mystery of concealing the true meaning."

"This can save several years of cultivation."

Lin Qi was overjoyed, feeling as if he had entered a sacred place for cultivation.

This greatly enhanced his understanding of the laws of space.

Moreover, the effects of this understanding become stronger over time.

I've only climbed about 2000 steps so far.

When he reaches level 3000 or 4000, his understanding of the laws will be even deeper.

Perhaps this will allow him to comprehend a third profound mystery, further enhancing his marksmanship and movement skills.

He felt it was very likely.

"call!"

Thinking of this, the golden light in his eyes shone even brighter.

They then quickened their pace and caught up with most of them.

There are dozens of human geniuses ahead of him.

At the same time, the gap between him and his third senior sister widened.

While geniuses continued to advance for over 25 years, in the sky, the Tree Elder, dressed in a green robe, was also watching the geniuses climbing.

Looking at the geniuses at the front of the line, he couldn't help but nod in approval:
"Although there are no geniuses who are one in a million years."

"However, the overall quality of various geniuses is still very high."

"These geniuses would have been contenders for first place in previous years."

"Now they've all come together."

"There are also more geniuses, so this competition will be very understandable."
