Chapter 527: The Recruitment Assessment

Ye Wushuang couldn't be bothered to deal with him. He exchanged a look with Zhuang Hao and walked forward.

"Hey! Hey!" Watching Ye Wushuang walk away, Dongfang Youdi immediately started cursing, "You damn scoundrel! You blew over fifty million Spirit Stones at the Ten Thousand Treasures Celestial Workshop, and I had to sell my own damn underwear to scrape together the money to pay for it! You can't do this to me!"

Cursing, Dongfang Youdi chased after him.

At his words, Ye Wushuang stopped, turned his head to look at Dongfang Youdi, and asked, "What did you just say?"

"I told you to teach me your godly guide to getting girls."

Dongfang Youdi dropped his fierce expression and broke into a sly grin. His face changed faster than a fart!

Ye Wushuang said, "I was asking about the fifty million-plus Spirit Stones."

"I'm talking about the Ten Thousand Treasures Celestial Workshop! You forgot already?" Dongfang Youdi was suddenly displeased. He had done Ye Wushuang a favor, and the guy had actually forgotten.

"What exactly happened?"

Ye Wushuang was confused. 'Hasn't the Spirit Stone issue been resolved? Why did the Dongfang Family have to cough up another fifty million-plus?'

"Fuck, you bastard! You spent over fifty million Spirit Stones at the auction and didn't pay a single one! You had the Celestial Workshop Master come to my Dongfang Family to collect the debt! You're so immoral, so shameless!"

Speaking of this, Dongfang Youdi was boiling with rage.

The Celestial Workshop Master had personally come to the Dongfang Family to demand payment, which made Dongfang Zhan so angry he almost gave Dongfang Youdi a beating.

"The Celestial Workshop Master!"

Hearing this, Ye Wushuang paused for a moment, then, as if realizing something, a smile suddenly blossomed on his face.

"You can still smile?!"

Dongfang Youdi straightened his crooked crown, ready to charge forward and start a fight.

Ye Wushuang completely ignored him. He turned around, shook his head, and thought, 'That woman really knows how to play her games.'

He knew this was Mengyun Wulei's little scheme.

However, he didn't say anything. Otherwise, it would probably make Dongfang Youdi angry enough to spit blood.

Walking to the front, Ye Wushuang stared at the ninety-nine steps ahead.

After a short wait, the two Nirvana Powerhouses frowned slightly before taking a step forward.

"By order of His Majesty the Great Emperor, all distinguished young men participating in the marriage selection must cross these steps to be officially considered a candidate."

one of the Nirvana Powerhouses said coldly.

Instantly, the crowd below erupted into a flurry of discussion. Everyone was extremely curious. 'Is it really that simple?'

"If we climb these ninety-nine steps, we really become a candidate?"

"His Majesty's word cannot be doubted. The trial begins now. You have one hour. Those who fail to cross must leave the Holy Palace."

the other Nirvana Powerhouse added, his expression just as cold.

"One hour?"

Hearing this, the crowd stared at the steps, even more puzzled. 'Could there be something more to these steps?'

Standing in the crowd, Ye Wushuang sized up the steps. Realizing something, he said faintly, "These steps aren't simple. I'm afraid many people will be weeded out."

Hearing this, Zhuang Hao's gaze also sharpened.

"Hmph. Fearmongering. A coward with no courage has no right to win the Princess's favor."

a young man nearby snorted, his response to Ye Wushuang's words dripping with disdain and sarcasm.

At his words, Ye Wushuang turned his head and stared at him.

"What, scared by ninety-nine steps? You don't even deserve to be standing here."

The young man looked at Ye Wushuang with a cocky expression.

"Since you're so brave, why don't you go on up? Let us all see your courage."

Dongfang Youdi muttered from the side, glancing at the man.

"Fine, I'll try! It's just ninety-nine steps. Nothing to it."

The young man snorted and took a step forward.

Seeing this, Dongfang Youdi smirked, looking at the young man as if he were an idiot.

The surrounding crowd also looked over. No one spoke, but they all wore knowing smiles.

"Idiot!"

Ye Wushuang muttered as he watched the young man move.

None of the Celestial Prides had moved, yet he was rushing up. He was undoubtedly just going to be cannon fodder.

Hearing this, the young man's eyes narrowed and he stopped in his tracks.

His head cleared considerably, and he realized that he had rushed out after being goaded by Dongfang Youdi.

However, the words were already spoken, and he had already stepped forward. To back down now would be a slap in his own face.

'It's only ninety-nine steps. It's not a big deal. Maybe His Majesty the Great Emperor is just testing everyone's courage,' the young man thought to himself.

With this thought, the young man walked out from the crowd.

He walked to the front of the Celestial Prides, instantly drawing everyone's gaze.

The young man had never imagined that he would one day be the center of so many people's attention. The feeling gave him immense inner satisfaction.

However, he didn't know that in the eyes of the Celestial Prides, there was only intense disdain and mockery.

Of course, they said nothing.

The young man activated his True Essence, lifting his body. He took large, quick strides, bounding up three steps in one go with the greatest of ease!

A look of delight immediately appeared on the young man's face!

"A bunch of cowards. You're not worthy of marrying the Princess. Hmph!"

He snorted coldly and quickly took another three steps, just as easily.

And just when the crowd thought nothing was wrong, the unexpected happened!

BOOM!

The instant before the young man's foot could land on the sixth step, his body shuddered violently, and he was sent flying back down by an immense force.

THUD!

The ground trembled. The young man's body landed in front of the crowd and skidded for more than ten meters before finally coming to a stop.

"Such a powerful pressure!"

The young man stared at the steps in terror and spat out a stream of blood!

The crowd was also shocked. The young man was at the Rebirth Level Third Layer, yet he had been knocked flying after climbing only six steps.

Pressure... what kind of pressure was it?

The crowd's eyes were glued to the steps.

The young man wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and turned his head in horror. He gave up on climbing any further. Only he had truly experienced that pressure, and he could only describe it with one word: terrifying!

However, when he turned around, he saw Ye Wushuang's figure.

Ye Wushuang's face was calm and indifferent. Dongfang Youdi, on the other hand, wore a mischievous smirk.

Instantly, the young man's face flushed crimson, and it felt like it was burning.

Success doesn't just depend on courage; it requires wisdom as well.

And he had neglected the latter.

The young man had nothing to say. He didn't dare to pass by Ye Wushuang, instead circling around him to leave.

RUMBLE!

Now that the danger of the steps was clear, figures like the Dragon King, Dongfang Wudi, and the other Celestial Prides began to move.

RUMBLE RUMBLE RUMBLE...

One after another, imposing figures stepped onto the stairs, climbing step by step with composed expressions, appearing utterly extraordinary.

Below, the eyes of other powerful youths also flickered. Most of them were geniuses in their own right, each with their own pride, unwilling to lose to others.

So, gritting their teeth, they too stepped onto the stairs.

THUD! THUD! THUD...

Before long, figure after figure was knocked flying off the steps, their faces filled with unwillingness and disappointment.

Ye Wushuang's gaze sharpened, and he too took a step onto the stairs.

He suddenly felt a resistance press against his body, blocking his advance.

'No wonder those other youths were knocked flying back down!'
