Peerless Taoist

However, they were merely surprised. Each of them continued to walk upwards while enduring the pressure.    

What they didn't know was that when Lu Yu's foot landed on the stairs, the pressure around him instantly increased by a hundred times!    

If it was any other ordinary cultivator, that terrifying pressure would instantly crush them into powder.    

"If it was just an Imperial Examination, how could there be such a huge variable?"    

Lu Yu frowned slightly.    

The main purpose of the combat examination should be to select candidates and not make things difficult for them.    

This level of pressure, even he felt a little pressure. This was no longer a selection, but a complete and utter murder.    

Lu Yu remained calm and collected. He quietly probed with his Spiritual Sense and suddenly felt that the stairs he was standing on were different from the others.    

This was because someone had done something to him in secret.    

At this moment, Xu Tiangang and the others had already surpassed Lu Yu and were moving towards the higher steps.    

Seeing Lu Yu still standing at the same spot, Xu Tiangang and the others couldn't help but reveal a cold smile on their faces.    

"You only know how to write some articles. It seems like you are just so-so. You left very quickly before, but it was all because of your determination. Now, I'm afraid you don't even have the strength to walk anymore."    

Xu Tiangang's heart was filled with disdain and disdain.    

His steps had always been very steady, as if he was not affected by the surrounding pressure at all.    

Not far away, Long Yunshan and Xiahou Jun were still standing on the tenth step.    

The higher they went, the greater the pressure they would feel.    

The two of them were not very talented to begin with, so they had almost reached their limits by the time they reached the tenth step. They could not move at all.    

The two of them were close to despair.    

However, when their eyes fell upon Lu Yu, they immediately found a balance in their hearts.    

"Hehe! Is this the chief of Jade Cauldron Academy? This is also not worthy of his reputation. Didn't he leave very quickly just now? Why did he stop now?"    

Long Yunshan looked at Lu Yu who had stopped where he was and felt delighted in her heart.    

Lu Yu, oh Lu Yu, what can you do even if you were in the limelight just now?    

If you can't walk down this flight of stairs, you will be expelled from the combat examination just like us.    

There has never been an academy's chief disciple who has lost his qualifications in the combat examination. If Lu Yu really failed here, he would become the laughing stock of the entire Heaven Realm.    

Long Yunshan was waiting. Lu Yu would make a joke out of it so that she could vent the hatred in her heart.    

As for the others, they looked at Lu Yu with ridicule, disdain, doubt, and anxiety.    

Li Si and the others watched from afar, but they were helpless. They were just confused. This bit of pressure could not harm Lu Yu at all. They did not understand why Lu Yu would suddenly stop.    

On the high platform, Zhang Xuance frowned and said in a deep voice, "Why did that Lu Yu suddenly stop? Did something happen?"    

"Master Zhang, why should we pay attention to him alone? If one wanted to walk up to this heaven reaching realm, one needed to have a long-term magic power support. He erupted ahead of time, using up too much mana and stamina. This was originally an unwise action. I think it's better to see if there are any outstanding geniuses among the others."    

The Crown Prince's voice came from the platform.    

Although the voice wasn't strong, it was still caught by Lu Yu.    

In an instant, Lu Yu knew who was tricking him in the dark.
