Combat Emperor: Zhang Yu's Journey
Chapters... 49: Top Two Hundred Rankings
After reaching the second stage, Zhang Yu immediately continued his steps up the thirty steps and arrived at the third stage.
Even so until now he had not felt the pressure that was too difficult for him. Zhang Yu momentarily rested while watching the disciples who had just returned from the fourth stage.
Some of them look tired and tired with a weak body condition. This created curiosity about how much pressure was on the steps leading up to the fourth stage.
"It should be triple," Zhang Yu murmured.
On the third stage connecting stairs the pressure increase on each rung reaches two and a half times. So it makes perfect sense that the increase in pressure on the connecting ladder towards the fourth stage has a threefold increase.
Zhang Yu did not want to waste more time. He walked towards the ninety-first rung and began to lift his legs.
Right at this moment the two outer disciples who had some time ago mocked Zhang Yu, were shocked when they saw Zhang Yu beside them.
Eyes twitched and eyebrows slightly fused together.
"How did you get here?" ask them in disbelief.
Zhang Yu looked to the side. "Do you really not know? I got here by climbing the stairs."
"..."
The faces of the two seniors looked tangled at Zhang Yu's reply. Who doesn't know until they have to climb the stairs. But ....
But that's not the answer they expected.
Before he could speak again, Zhang Yu had already stepped up to the ninety-two steps.
Two seniors who did not want to miss immediately caught up. "Hey! You new kid don't try anything out of reach. You'd better come back because the higher you'll feel the pressure many times over."
However Zhang Yu had already walked over ten steps. Two seniors missed below.
"Excession! How could he climb so fast?! We're one rung and he's two or even three rungs."
It was not just the two seniors who were shocked. Dozens of students who had just been passed by him could not help but be wide-eyed by his actions.
"He's not wearing a robe. That means he is still an outer court disciple. But his speed in ascending was like that of an inner court disciple," said a disciple below.
The two seniors who heard this remark instantly looked at each other. A second later shook his head. "No. It must be because of the trick. There's no way he's at master's level."
The one who could climb up leisurely like that on the fourth rung was only master level up. But how could a new disciple be at the master level? And he is still young too. He must have used some kind of secret trick.
While these people were excited about him, Zhang Yu instead acted calm as if wearing horse glasses. He was only focused with his gradual pace leaving the two seniors far below.
The rung to the hundred and ten ... The hundred and fifteen steps. At this moment Zhang Yu felt a different pressure than before.
"It's not tripled anymore, it's fivefold!" Zhang Yu tightened his jaw then slowly exerted his strength. This was the first time Zhang Yu felt what "pressure".
But even so, he managed to reach the fourth stage after trying more tenaciously.
His name is now included in the list of the top two hundred rankings. The change of the leaderboard was like a notification on the stone pillar below.
Zhang Yu's. The one name that made Elder Roxie - the dragon stage guard - and the dozens of disciples around him stunned.
Moreover, the description of "Murid outer court class 175" in addition to its name, increasingly makes people amazed.
Meng Hua happened to be passing around the dragon stage. Seeing the furore that was there, he was moved to get closer.
"Chairman Roxie, what's going on here?"
Elder Roxie turned a glance to Meng Hua, he waved at her and pointed at the ranking pillar. "Look! The new disciple named Zhang Yu had reached the fourth stage. This is a very rare and perhaps unprecedented thing."
Zhang Yu's?
When making sure it was truly Zhang Yu, he could not help but shake his head.
"I just gave him information about the dragon stage this morning. But this afternoon he came and made a furore. I don't know what other surprises he'll give you next." Meng Hua felt like she had done something right by apologizing to Zhang Yu.
He knew Zhang Yu's age hadn't even turned twenty yet. But with such strength, even he hesitated to be able to defeat him in a fight.
I don't know who the elder took him into the academy. Meng Hua was sure that this elder or person had an inferior standing.
...
On the fourth stage.
Zhang Yu had just arrived but he immediately became the center of attention.
He was a bit of a dozen people on the fourth stage with the identity of an outer court disciple. Most or about eighty percent of the disciples wore blue robes that had shown their identity as inner court disciples.
An inner court disciple got up from his sitting position and walked over to Zhang Yu.
"What's your name? Did you just go on stage four for the first time?"
Zhang Yu watched the senior disciple of the inner court. "Zhang Yu, my name is Zhang Yu."
Hearing such a foreign name, some of the disciples there frowned.
Every outer court disciple who reached the fourth stage must have a familiar name. But Zhang Yu's name was completely foreign to their ears.
The man named Shi Guan again asked. "What kind of outer court disciple are you? 173? 174?"
"I'm class 175."
Uhuk!
Shi Guan coughed at Zhang Yu's reply. He scratched his ear thinking wrongly of hearing it.
"Can you answer one more time?" her door.
"I'm a new student, an outer court disciple of class 175."
Shi Guan and the few people listening to the conversation instantly held their breaths. But there was still a thick-bodied disciple who did not believe. "You're a new student? Try showing me your identity token,"
They become curious. Zhang Yu was astonished as to why they were so obsessed with him. Is it wrong for a new disciple to ascend to the fourth stage? Why would he lie anyway? Not at all profitable.
Wanting to immediately escape the limelight, Zhang Yu showed his identity token.
As the dozens of eyes looked at the identity token and made sure Zhang Yu was truly a new disciple, their tears looked incredulous.
The thick-bodied man turned around while carrying Zhang Yu's identity token and exclaimed at the figure of the man sitting cross-legged unaffected by the surrounding events.
"Guang Zhou, he's a new student of class 175."
The man who was not wearing the inner disciple robe slowly opened his eyes lazily. "What does this have to do with me? Whether he's a new student or not, I don't care."
The thick man laughed.
"You really don't care? He broke your record when he first came to the dragon stage and reached the third stage."
Guang Zhou only snorted. A moment later he rose from his position walking up the stairs towards the fifth stage.
Spontaneous fat man clucked in annoyance at being ignored.
"Excession! He's still so cold."
