Chapter 499: Chapter 330: Heavenly Ladder! [Seeking Monthly Pass!]_2
A lively and agile female hero with a light figure like floating willow fluffs. She flips in the air, each jump seemingly unaffected by gravity. She ascends the Heavenly Ladder with composure and elegance, as if she’s not here to fight, but to dance among the clouds.
...
Swordsman!
Boxer!
Youth!
Elder!
Female hero!
Swordman!
Spear God!
One by one, unparalleled individuals leave their shadows on the Heavenly Ladder, with more and more images swiftly emerging, making it hard for people to take it all in.
Yan Chuan was dazzled.
In the end, he saw certain words flashing on the various Heavenly Ladders in the city. These words were different from the ’Tan Valley’ he saw outside, and different from the words in the ’Tan Valley Royal City’. Yan Chuan had never learned them, yet he recognized them——
"Mo Yin!"
"Chongbi!"
"Yuanrong!"
"Yuhua!"
"Bai Yuan!"
"Jiu Chong!"
"Shi Wu!"
"Jiuxiao!"
"Jiuyou!"
"Xuanling!"
"Shen Zhang!"
"Dragon Head!"
"Giant God!"
Thirteen Heavenly Ladders penetrate into the clouds, the breeze stirring the cloud layers, slightly revealing them. Yan Chuan saw that these thirteen ladders all converged at one spot in the clouds, with words appearing at that point——
"Yu Fang!"
As the two words appeared, Yan Chuan fell headfirst in, and in the clouds, he plunged straight from the ’Mo Yin’ ladder into the boundless city in the sky.
...
"Ho!"
Yan Chuan suddenly opened his eyes, finding himself still in a piece of chaos, but beneath his feet, a rocky Heavenly Ladder lay spread out.
He gazed at the Heavenly Ladder.
Information emerged——
[Dynasty: Yu Fang]
[Region: Mo Yin]
[Royal City: Tan Valley]
[Code: Unnamed]
[Heavenly Ladder: 0]
[Ranking: 15301699]
[Matches: 0]
...
"Heavenly Ladder Ranking Match?"
Yan Chuan was taken aback.
In the hidden world beneath the King City of the Mountain and Sea Realm, there was actually something so trendy?
Yan Chuan stared at the Heavenly Ladder, confused.
Although this information ladder was transmitted to him, and he organized it into panels based on his own habits in his mind, in essence, it was indeed quite similar to the ranking matches of games from his past life——
"Dynasty—national server."
"Region—major region."
"Royal City—server IP."
"Code—nickname."
"Heavenly Ladder—tier!"
"Ranking!"
The deja vu was overwhelming!
"He Hao explained that ’Dungeon’ has two concepts, one is the sinister world filled with Evil Qi and Demon Barriers, obviously not here. So this ’Heavenly Ladder’ must be the second!"
No matter how much speculation, trying it out is better.
Yan Chuan’s thoughts moved, and he began the first round of the Heavenly Ladder Match——
...
[Code: South Sea Crocodile God]
[Heavenly Ladder: 0]
[Ranking: 15301768]
[Matches: 0]
[Character——]
[Cultivation: Postnatal Ninth Layer, Bone Training Sixth Grade, Grade Two Muscle Training, Grade Two Muscle Training, Second Grade Skin Training]
[Equipment: Hero Sword]
...
[Select Mode——]
[One, Individual]
[Two, Group]
...
"You can form a team?"
Yan Chuan wondered, quickly choosing: "Individual."
...
[Individual——]
[Select Mode——]
[One, Arena]
[Two, Scene]
...
"Individual match, Arena Battle, 1V1."
"Individual match, Scene Battle, divided into urban, desert, grassland, lake, swamp, jungle, glacier, volcano, and cave scenes. Divided into ten-person battle, hundred-person battle, and thousand-person battle!"
Yan Chuan’s interest immediately grew.
Having just finished the ’Cang Mountain Sword Discussion’, he was tired of arena matches, intrigued by the ’Scene Battle’ in the ’Heavenly Ladder Match’——
"Thousand-person battle!"
"A thousand-person melee?"
Melees are quite different from arena matches. As the saying goes, two fists can’t beat four hands. A thousand people fighting in one place tests adaptability, requires high actual combat ability, and involves dealing with various martial arts, weapons, while watching six directions and listening in all directions to guard against sudden attacks.
In a thousand-person melee, it tests combat power, wisdom, and endurance. To last in such a battle, extremely high endurance is essential.
"I’ll give it a try!"
Yan Chuan did not hesitate——
[Individual Match!]
[Scene Battle!]
[Thousand-Person Battle!]
[Scene: Urban]
...
After selection.
The world spun around.
The next moment, Yan Chuan was transported to a small courtyard house.
"A city!"
"A thousand people!"
As soon as he entered, before the fighting even started, Yan Chuan was already boiling with excitement.
He raised an eyebrow——
Bang!
Before he could push the door open, it was kicked.
A man holding a steel knife stormed in, swinging his blade to strike.
Yan Chuan looked up, his thoughts moving, and information appeared above this person’s head——
[Code: Ge You]
[Heavenly Ladder: 18]
[Matches: 1]
...
"Also a newcomer."
Just from ’Heavenly Ladder Points’ and ’Match Count’, it’s impossible to determine someone’s strength.
But Yan Chuan, having gone through the ’Guangling City Martial Arts Competition’, ’Jian Province Competition’, and just finishing the ’Cang Mountain Sword Discussion’, had honed his martial eye power and could roughly assess this person’s strength from their movement and few slash actions——
"Around Limit-breaking Third Grade."
"Saber Skill is mediocre."
This person!
Very weak!
But since Yan Chuan was new here, he didn’t want to be the wolf in lamb’s clothing, leading to a ’landfall’.
Therefore——
Ting!
Unsheathed the sword without hesitation, and immediately performed the ’Breaking Saber Form’ of the "Dugu Nine Swords". His feet prepared for the "Wave Riding Micro Steps".
Yet, Yan Chuan was overly cautious, as his martial eye power was indeed powerful. The intruder appeared aggressive, but their actual strength was genuinely ordinary——
Shh!
Yan Chuan delivered a delayed but accurate thrust, piercing Ge You’s chest, striking through the heart.
One hit, death!
Clean and decisive!
After killing Ge You, Yan Chuan looked up swiftly to see someone had just climbed over the wall, wielding a spear and rushing forward aggressively. But upon witnessing Yan Chuan’s swift kill, they suddenly became frightened and quickly smiled——
"Friend, good sword!"
This person wasn’t speaking the Great Yan’s official language, nor did it sound like a dialect. It differed from the official languages of Nanxiong City and Hunxi Royal City that Yan Chuan had learned.
Yan Chuan hadn’t heard it before!
Yet he clearly understood.
Yan Chuan was astonished: "This ’Heavenly Ladder Match’ even has real-time translation?"
This was convenient!
Yan Chuan was pleasantly surprised!
He initially thought this ’Heavenly Ladder Match’ would at most hone his battle skills and let him see more martial arts methods in the Mountain and Sea Realm. That was fine enough.
Yet, he didn’t expect that due to the language barrier, his advantage in "Mutual Teaching and Learning" couldn’t be fully utilized here.
Unexpectedly, the ’Heavenly Ladder Match’ was considerate enough to offer real-time translation.
With this——
"I can lecture on martial arts in the ’Thousand-Person Battle’, teaching to participants from different Royal Cities in the Mountain and Sea Realm, triggering ’Mutual Teaching and Learning’, allowing me to grow rapidly!"
This was fantastic!
Yan Chuan was in great spirits, turning to the spear-wielding newcomer who was backing up to flee——
[Code: Shepherd]
[Heavenly Ladder: 25]
[Matches: 8]
...
"More matches."
"Higher Heavenly Ladder Points."
"Yet, their strength is weaker than Ge You just now."
Yan Chuan lightly kicked the steel knife Ge You dropped, and with a thud, it shot out like lightning——
Ah!
The ’Shepherd’, still climbing the wall, was struck in the back by the flying knife, coolly piercing through.
Just at the start!
Yan Chuan acted ruthlessly, already killing two people consecutively.
Truly fierce!
Really ruthless!
However, in the ’Heavenly Ladder Match,’ bodies are mere replicas created one-to-one by the ’Heavenly Ladder’ from the real world, so dying in the match doesn’t affect reality. Yan Chuan can fight without restraint, without reservations or mercy, every move fatal!
