The ninth staircase is located at the junction of Dao yishan and the outer courtyard.
Dao yishan is the inner court of the Dao yi academy, and the outer students are not qualified to enter Dao yishan. If the outer students want to be promoted to the inner students, they must pass the examination of the ninth staircase.
Near the ninth staircase, there was never a shortage of students from outside.
"Awesome!"
"Sister Tong Qiushui, come on!"
"I told you that sister Tong Qiushui's ability can pass the examination for promotion to the inner court!"
"...
Under the staircase, there were about dozens of students from the inner courtyard, shouting loudly.
On the staircase, a female warrior was trying to climb up.
There were only nine stairs in total. However, the climb of each step was very difficult.
The average student in the outer courtyard could not even climb the first staircase, let alone the ninth staircase to the top.
At this time, the female warrior had reached the eighth staircase, her delicate body trembling slightly, obviously facing great pressure.
"Yes! Sister qiu shui has succeeded in standing on the eighth step, and the next step is to reach the ninth step!"
"That's amazing. I don't know how long it will take to reach the level of sister qiu shui!"
The voices of envy came from the mouths of many students.
Tong Qiushui was ranked third on the war god list, so she was very famous in the outer court. In addition, her face was very handsome, so more than 90 % of the students in the outer courtyard knew her.
"Qiushui, hold on. If you work harder, you can reach the top!" Below, a handsome man shouted, suppressing the voices of the others.
This handsome man was also a warrior on the war god list and ranked fourth on the war god list.
Climbing the staircase is not a matter of applying for the promotion of a martial artist in the inner court. Any outer court student can try to climb it. Some of the more powerful innate peak state practitioners would often try, and once they felt that their strength could almost reach the top, they would go to Hall of affairs to apply for promotion to the inner court.
Because any student can only apply once a year for promotion to the inner courtyard. Therefore, without certain confidence, the students would not easily apply.
"Ha!"
Tong Qiushui, who was on the eighth staircase, let out a soft drink. She urged her energy and jumped up the ninth staircase.
From the ninth staircase, a black ripple also pounced on Tong Qiushui from the bottom to the top.
"Break it for me!" Tong Qiushui's beautiful face reddened at this moment.
Her body, at a very slow speed, gradually fell onto the ninth staircase.
"Did it work?"
"Did sister qiu shui succeed?"
"Tsk tsk, you are indeed the third strongest man on the war god list!"
"Wow!"
Just as the crowd was sighing in admiration, Tong Qiushui's body was ejected violently, rolling in the air and finally staggering to the ground.
She still failed!
To reach the ninth staircase is to climb to the top, but to pass the inner court promotion assessment, you still need to stand firm on the ninth staircase. It would still be a failure if they were expelled as soon as they ascended the ninth staircase.
After landing, Tong Qiushui gently shook his head, his eyes filled with disappointment. She had tried her best, but she still failed. Although she was prepared, she was still disappointed and disappointed when she failed.
"Autumn water, you are very close to success. In a few months, you will be able to reach the top!" The fourth warrior on the war god list comforted Tong Qiushui.
"Yes! Sister Tong Qiushui, you are already very strong."
"Not at all. I feel that if I try a few more times, sister Tong Qiushui will succeed!"
Some of the martial artists at the peak of their innate abilities began to speak.
"This is the ladder?"
At this time, Jing Yan also came here, he had never been to the ladder before, so this time, it was the first time to see the true appearance of the ladder.
Hearing Jing Yan's voice, the students around them all looked at Jing Yan, and there was a look of idiot in their eyes.
Because what Jing Yan just said was a little too ridiculous.
What jing yan said was, this is the ladder?
This is not a ladder. What is it?
"This is the ladder!" Most people looked at Jing Yan like idiots, but some people answered Jing Yan's question.
"Oh, thank you!" Jing Yan thanked the man and continued, "As long as you climb the ninth staircase, you can be promoted to an inner academy student, right?"
"Yes, as long as you are strong enough to pass through the ninth staircase, you will have the strength of the inner students." The man nodded and said.
"Well, let me try!" Jing Yan said with a smile.
"Haha..."
"Boy, are you daydreaming?"
"You just said, this is the staircase. It looks like this is your first time seeing the staircase, right? The first time you came here, you wanted to try climbing the staircase?"
There was laughter all around them. They looked at the scenery as if they were idiots.
Although any student can try to climb the ladder, they do not have enough strength, such as the innate peak state of cultivation, the average student will not easily try. Their strength was too weak. It would be too embarrassing to be expelled if they could only ascend one or two flights of stairs.
"Oh? Is it true that the first time you climb the ladder, you will fail?" Jing Yan turned to look at the people around him and asked doubtfully.
"Hahaha..."
"Boy, you'd better save your strength! You can't climb this ladder just because you want to."
"That's right, wait for you to practice for 30 or 50 years, then try again!"
"Don't waste time, staircase. You can only try to climb by yourself every time. If you want to climb, it's a waste of our time!"
Laughter, very harsh.
Jing yan frowned, then shook his head and ignored them. He walked towards the staircase.
"Stop!" Xu Chen, fourth on the war god list, frowned at Jing Yan and shouted.
"What's up?" Jing yan paused and looked at Xu Chen.
"Well, if you want to try climbing the ladder, that's your freedom. But if you want to try, you have to wait." Xu Chen said.
"Why?" Jing yan asked.
"Joke, I came before you. Of course you have to wait for me to climb the ladder before you try." Xu Chen sneered.
"Well, what you said makes sense. Then, you should try first." Jing yan nodded. He really didn't come first without Xu Chen. It was understandable that Xu Chen asked him to wait behind.
Jing yan stood there and waited for a moment, but Xu Chen did not move.
"What do you mean, aren't you trying to climb the ladder? Why didn't you start?" Jing Yan frowned at Xu Chen.
"What's the rush? Are you playing a game when you ascend the ladder? If you're not ready, how can you try? Boy, just wait. I need to be ready to try again." Xu Chen glared at Jing Yan and said.
