Chapter 817: Pass
Upon seeing Li Pin step onto the ninety-third step of the Supreme Ladder and vanish into the corresponding zone, the Sacred Monarchs and Heavenly Emperors, who had been murmuring moments before, all fell silent at once.
A moment later, waves of spiritual fluctuations quickly spread from many of them.
"Ninety-third step? Did I see that right? Ninety-third step?"
"If it's the ninety-third step... that's already in the range of Top-Tier Sacred Monarchs, right? Yao Ji and Emperor Ara only dared to cautiously start exploring the Supreme Ladder from the ninety-first step. And Li Pin... he has the courage to begin directly at the ninety-third?"
"Every member of the Bloodblade Squad is no weakling. Li Pin killing four of them alone proves his strength beyond question.... But still, choosing to challenge the ninety-third step, basically top-tier Sacred Monarch level, feels a bit arrogant. After all, there's a fundamental difference between Sacred Monarchs and Tyrants."
Doubt and questioning filled their minds.
"Ridiculous. In name, the gap between Sacred Monarch and Tyrant is small. In a fight, three to five Peak Tyrants could easily gang up to kill one Sacred Monarch.
"But why do these two realms still have different titles? It's because of the Sacred Monarch's superior mobility. He may not defeat three to five Peak Tyrants together, but by relying on his speed advantage, he can always keep the fight one-on-one!"
A top-tier Sacred Monarch of notable background sneered, "Give a Sacred Monarch enough space to move and stretch out the time. Forget three to five, even thirty or fifty Peak Tyrants would be killed by him one by one. Does Li Pin really think that killing a few Tyrants capable of surrounding a Sacred Monarch is the same as killing an actual Sacred Monarch?"
"I'll admit, I was surprised when I saw him step onto the ninety-third," said a Heavenly Emperor, speaking with measured tone. "But after the shock faded, it started to make sense. He was never the type to stay in the shadows.
"It's either obscurity or brilliance with him. Starting from the ninety-first step like everyone else? What's the point? Better to take the risk. Maybe he'll get lucky and land in an environment that perfectly suits him. If he makes it through, the result on the ninety-third step would silence any doubts about him becoming the commander."
No matter how one looked at it, Li Pin's bold move to step onto the ninety-third level of the Supreme Ladder had drawn everyone's attention. At the very least, it shifted much of the focus away from Yao Ji and Emperor Ara.
