Perfect World

Chapter 741: Chapter 741: Forcibly Breaking Through
 

Soon, laughter erupted from this place.

“Hehe, hahaha…”

Some young disciples in the academy laughed, their expressions were weird, rich in expression and full of flavor, and some even gave Shi Hao a thumbs up.

“Junior Brother, we’re waiting for you to come in, and then you can tell us about the few most beautiful women on the ethereal beauty list; just thinking about it makes one envious, the painting of Goddess emerging from the bath must be stunning!”

Obviously, there were some like-minded people here who did not see him as hostile or disdainful, instead, they laughed kindly, making faces at Shi Hao.

“Debauchee, lecher, you scum!” Chen Lin frowned deeply, gritting her teeth, filled with deep disdain and disgust towards Shi Hao and those others.

Wu Feng was even more righteous, saying, “What is this behavior, how can such people befit our academy? Drive them away, what trash.” His eyes flashed with cold light.

Nearby, naturally, there was a large group of protective envoys, passionately criticizing Shi Hao, and of course, many female disciples joined in, condemning the students who had issued the ambiguous laughter earlier.

The place was a complete mess.

Shi Hao, with an innocent face, said, “What are you talking about, I mean, if I cross the Heavenly Ladder, wouldn’t I be able to enter the Immortal Pond and undergo the purification of the Tribulation God Lotus’ water, this… is really great!”

“We’re all men, don’t act so righteous, brother just say you want to share a bath in the divine pond with a few beauties, what’s not strong about that?” someone laughed.

Of course, this also triggered some people’s denouncement, especially Wu Feng and others who snickered continuously.

“I say, how can you think like that?” Shi Hao looked at Chen Lin, Wu Feng, and others, saying, “I didn’t say anything, why must you associate it that way, you are too impure.”

Looking at his serious expression and turning the blame around, Chen Lin changed color, appearing to care a lot about this statement, saying, “You lecher, you definitely won’t be able to enter the academy, we’ll beat you out when the time comes!”

“No need to think about it, can he really ascend the Heavenly Ladder? He is destined to become a laughing stock, does he even merit it?!” Wu Feng ridiculed, shaking his head there.

“Of course, I can, just open your crossed eyes and watch carefully!” Shi Hao said.

“What did you say?!” Chen Lin’s beautiful face was full of frost, and Wu Feng and others also had stern faces, staring at him unfavorably.

“I want to ask again, were the rewards mentioned earlier real?” Shi Hao did not pay attention to them, but instead looked at the people nearby and further inquired, afraid of being fooled.

“Of course!”

“Then that’s good, actually sharing a bath with a few ethereal beauties isn’t that bad either.” Shi Hao said, arms crossed, a radiant smile on his face.

“Lecher, disgusting, exposed!”

“Bastard, where did this guy come from?!”

Clearly, a group of people were not having it, mostly ladies, but also many protective envoys joined the earlier supporters of Shi Hao who all had slipped away, afraid of provoking public anger.

The incident here caught the attention of people far away, not only from the academy but also cultivators from the city, all showing different expressions.

Someone wants to ascend the Heavenly Ladder? It’s been many years since such a thing happened, because it’s too difficult, nearly impossible to pass.

Soon, the news spread, catching the attention of many people.

Shi Hao didn’t care about this, he wanted to legitimately pass the test, then go to the pond where the Tribulation God Lotus is and be purified. If any bigshots were watching and recognized his True Body, then he would simply use the World-breaking Talisman to escape, as this was an opportunity too tempting and irresistible for him.

Only with the help of the juice of the Tribulation God Lotus could he possibly succeed in consuming the Golden Bodhi Fruit.

“No way, the sealed Heavenly Ladder is going to be opened, someone actually dares to challenge it?!”

“I remember, the Heavenly Ladder is insurmountable, generally speaking, destined to fail. Has anyone succeeded over the years?”

The news spread deep into the academy, and many students were shocked, finding it unbelievable.

These people are all elites, meticulously selected from numerous geniuses to come here, but they themselves admit they lack the courage to challenge the Heavenly Ladder.

“Big news, explosive news, the ranking of the top beauties has been released, a new list of ethereal beauties is published, adding newcomers. Someone has declared to spend a lovely evening with the top beauties and has issued a challenge!”

This was like a thunderbolt; some people, craving chaos, seized the release of the Celestial Immortal Academy’s beauty list to add such significant news, indeed stirring big waves.

“Who dares to make such wild claims?”

“Who is it, what kind of freak has appeared, who actually dares to tease the top beauties, does he not want to live? Feng Wu appears, who can compete with her, most likely will… suppress them all!”

As the news broke, the academy was greatly shaken, even some low-key, hard-working young cultivators were shocked.

“Gentlemen, who amongst you can climb the Heavenly Ladder? It is said that a young man has come to the door, wanting to challenge the extreme.”

“Let’s go and see what Sacred Entity has arrived.”

Some groups of genius youths were also discussing this.

In just a short period of time, the news spread far and wide, generating a significant response.

Of course, the academy is too big; there are many who scorn it, considering the news just a joke, paying it no heed.

Especially the peerless beauties on the beauty list, they ignored it completely, not interested at all, thinking someone was just creating a topic. How could anyone possibly climb over the Heavenly Ladder and succeed?

And those strongest geniuses within the academy also just scoffed coldly, continuing their seclusions and enlightenment, not bothering to pay attention.

“Ah, really a miscalculation, not one of the top ten beauties was shaken, they totally disregard it, all efforts wasted,” some sighed in disappointment.

Originally, many people spread the words, hoping to stir up huge waves and have the top beauties appear, but ended up disappointed.

The anticipated individuals did not show up, yet the academy’s main gate was still bustling, with many people coming, eager to see who dared to walk the Heavenly Ladder.

Of course, the crowd amounted to less than ten percent of the academy’s student population.

The so-called Heavenly Ladder is inside the grand gate, directly in front of the entrance there is a massive platform, very majestic, usually unattended, with no one climbing it.

Now someone was using mana, blowing away the dust on it, revealing an ancient stone platform, engraved with complex and mysterious patterns.

Shi Hao walked forward, preparing to ascend the platform.

“Hold on!” Wu Feng stepped forward, blocking Shi Hao’s path, and said sarcastically: “My Celestial Immortal Academy is one of the highest doctrines in the Three Thousand States, not just any Tom, Dick, or Harry can come here causing trouble. You want to climb the Heavenly Ladder? First get past me, otherwise it just seems like you are seeking attention.” He was quite harsh, saying so in public.

Behind, densely packed, everywhere were people, both cultivators from the market and students of the academy, all looking towards this place.

“As you wish!” Even a clay figurine has a temper. Shi Hao, previously unwilling to bother with him, now decided to face the challenge, with no need for courtesy.

With a “boom,” his body lit up, hair fluttering, though with a handsome face, his whole body seemed to be burning with divine flames, a terrifying aura surged to the skies, like a Divine King, engulfed by intense light.

“Ha!”

Shi Hao let out a fierce yell, like Divine Thunder exploding, causing Wu Feng to immediately spit out a mouthful of blood, his body’s characters dimmed, then he was sent flying horizontally through the air.

At that moment, the scene suddenly fell silent, deathly still.

All the noise disappeared, and people were stunned.

Chen Lin incredulously watched the young man ahead, who resembled a devil God, his body entirely engulfed in blazing flames that leapt around him, causing her heart to tremble.

“Oh my god, this guy is so powerful, he feels like a junior Celestial God on a journey!” some young girls screamed.

Just now, some people were scorning Shi Hao, but now they felt that he had a certain charm that subdued them.

The area suddenly quieted down, everyone sensed that today, something extraordinary might happen!

In the distance, Wu Feng struggled to rise from the ground, his body trembling slightly, and after coughing up blood, he felt somewhat better, his face pale as snow, looking horrified at the silhouette in front of him.

With a swoosh, Shi Hao soared across the sky like a True Dragon, leaping onto the high platform.

In an instant, the scene transformed, and the high platform evolved into an arena!

In the arena, there was a huge stone, and people secretly estimated that it weighed at least one hundred fifty to sixty thousand jin, a challenge for the contenders to lift it.

“This is way too simple, is this all it takes to climb the Heavenly Ladder? It’s a piece of cake for us,” someone said in astonishment, thinking it was too easy.

However, as Shi Hao stepped forward, many people shut their mouths, because they saw him shrinking into a child, only seven or eight years old.

At the same time, the arena emitted layers of ripples, affecting many people, leading them to feel like they had returned to their childhood, back to the Blood Transformation realm.

“Oh my god, what’s happening, why do I feel like I’ve become a toddler?”

“This is the terrifying aspect of the arena!”

People understood, this was a test of how much strength one had at the peak of Blood Transformation in their youth.

Normally, the offspring of Heaven Rank Ferocious Beasts in their youth would also not exceed one hundred thousand jin in strength, a hard limit to surpass, yet here was a stone weighing one hundred fifty thousand jin.

What did this mean? It meant surpassing the recognized limits of the most powerful races by a significant margin!

The ripples spread, and many felt as if a huge stone was pressing down on their youthful selves, feeling powerless, almost suffocating, as the scene was too realistic.

Shi Hao was very calm; in his youth, he used to roll with stones weighing tens of thousands of jin in waterfalls, even lifting stones weighing over two hundred thousand jin.

Approaching the stone, he directly lifted it up, holding it above his head.

“Ah…”

Many standing near the high platform screamed, their faces turning pale white, because they felt like they were also involved, their juvenile bodies nearly crushed by the one hundred fifty thousand jin stone.

“This… how terrifying!”

Many were dripping with sweat, swiftly retreating, no longer daring to come close, avoiding the ripples.

This person could lift one hundred fifty thousand jin stones in his youth? He’s defying the heavens, everyone’s hearts trembled!

However, what was more shocking was still to come; Shi Hao put down the huge stone, then swiveled his right leg, kicking the stone high into the air where it exploded.

“This is…Divine Power unparalleled!”

“Divine might! Did he grow up drinking True Dragon’s Blood in his youth?”

Many exclaimed in disbelief, Chen Lin even widened her beautiful eyes, covering her vivid red lips, afraid that she might scream out.

Wu Feng and others turned as pale as death, their scalps tingling, deeply feeling that this was a monster!

“Dang!”

The sound of a bell echoed through the Celestial Immortal Academy, shaking the market outside, indicating that Shi Hao had smoothly passed the first station.

“Hmm, this person is not simple, he has successfully started climbing the Heavenly Ladder.”

“Not just a crowd-pleaser?”

In the deep areas of the academy, some ethereal beauties were surprised, and prodigies were taken aback, yet none of them came out.

The scene on the high platform changed again, and the arena now displayed ten suns pressing down simultaneously, aiming to suppress the young man in the arena.

“Yi!”

Everyone gasped, these were ten cave realms, developed to the extreme, reaching the utmost strength of the human race, trying to suppress the person in the arena.

“This is a tough challenge, a draw would be decent enough, unless some special races surpass the limit with their cave realm power,” someone commented.

Yet, to everyone’s surprise, Shi Hao endured the pressure of the ten cave realms, his body emitting a bright light, piercing through them all.

“Dang!”

Another bell sounded, resonating through the Celestial Immortal Academy, indicating he had passed the challenge.

“So quickly, he passed the second challenge?”

“Did a monster come?”

In the depths of the academy, some stood up, several ethereal beauties gasped, unable to hide their amazement.

As for the entrance of the academy, it had already stunned a crowd, followed by a cacophony of discussions and hot debates.

“Dang!”

In a very short time, a third bell rang, resonating far and wide.

“No way, he also passed the third challenge, isn’t that too fast? Is he really just breaking through?”

Inside the academy, some prodigies could no longer sit still, finding it hard to maintain their composure.

“Dang!”

The fourth bell sound came, thunderous, continuously booming.

“Oh my god, he passed the fourth challenge, no, I must go see what kind of person he is!” an ethereal beauty left her seclusion, hurrying towards the academy entrance.

“Piqued my curiosity, who is this person?” Similarly, in other splendid towers, other ethereal beauties stood up, casting aside their previous disdain, rushing towards the Heavenly Ladder.

“Go see what kind of character he is!” Those who were self-proclaimed prodigies of the academy also set out.

“Dang!”

However, just as they were setting out, the fifth bell wave sounded, truly reverberating like a grand thunderous bell.

These prodigies and several unparalleled beauties were stunned, this was too fierce; they hurriedly sped up, fearing that if they were late, they would miss witnessing that scene.

“This… unprecedented, such a speed, must have broken the historical record, right?” someone trembled in astonishment.
