The test on the ladder continues, and more and more candidates are eliminated on the ground.

From the initial 180,000 candidates, it has become 42,800, and the number is still decreasing rapidly.

Among these candidates, the fastest was a young man with disabled legs and sitting in a wheelchair, and the second place behind him was a little girl who was only ten years old.

The third one is even more strange. He is an old man with a head full of white hair. Even though the life expectancy of interstellar people has increased a lot, the old man is still old enough.

Under normal circumstances, an old man of this age should have difficulty walking or have to wear various life-assisting devices. However, the old man ranked third is able to walk very fast and catch up with young people.

The person ranked fourth was unwilling to give up and wanted to catch up, but after chasing for half a day he found that he could not catch up at all, and it was easy for him to fall into the dangerous illusion on the ladder by accident.

Ye Chen in the conference room looked at the top three people with extremely obvious age differences and directly adjusted the camera closest to them.

The disabled young man who ranked first had just controlled his wheelchair and stepped onto the next step when a vague voice, which made him face his heart and dare not tell a lie, rang out again.

"Are you really not hateful? Those who were rescued were just ordinary people. Compared to them, summoner warriors are truly precious."

Zhao Ling turned a deaf ear to this and was only interested in climbing to the top of the ladder.

He is not a saint who has no regrets, but he has his own beliefs in his heart.

Behind Zhao Ling, there are more people who share the same path.

The old man walked briskly and ignored the life, old age, sickness and death that stood in front of him. Although the ten-year-old girl was young and naive, she never gave up the badge in her hand for a moment.

The parents appeared in the illusion, smiling and waving at the little girl.

"Good girl, Renxue, mom and dad are back."

"Mom and Dad will never go to the battlefield again, okay?"

"Stop, the road ahead will be hard. Stay here and mom and dad will always be with little Renxue."

There were tears in the little girl's eyes. She was stunned for a moment when she saw her father and mother, and then she never stopped.

"No." The little girl wiped her eyes fiercely with her sleeve, "You are not my parents."

"My parents are the greatest heroes, and I will be a hero in the future too."

The little girl has a thin body, but she has a powerful energy that attracts everyone's attention.

In the conference room, the more sentimental people couldn't help but wipe their eyes. They could risk their own lives, but they couldn't bear to see a child of that age suffer so much.

But they respect the child's choice and will not ignore or underestimate the child's power just because she is young.

"I like this little girl. If she passes the ladder to heaven, you can bring her to my place." Lord Suzaku said while looking at the surveillance video.

"I think the young man currently ranked first is not bad. He has courage and perseverance, and his character is also excellent." White Tiger God said from the side.

"If you get to the ladder, let the young man come to me."

Lord Suzaku and Lord White Tiger both asked for people. Lord Black Tortoise looked at this one and then that one, and finally set his sights on the old man who was ranked third.

Although this human was a little older, he had a spirit of not admitting defeat and he was very steady, which was quite appealing to Lord Xuanwu.

"Then I'll take this old man."

As soon as Lord Xuanwu finished speaking, the Crown Prince, who had come to visit the conference room with him, twitched his mouth.

Ye Chen seemed to notice it and turned his head to look at the Crown Prince, "Do you know this person?"

The Crown Prince nodded helplessly upon hearing this, "Very familiar, this is my uncle, also an old marshal of the empire."

Hearing this, the eyes of the other people in the conference room widened.

"He is the legendary marshal of the empire, but hasn't he been dead for ten years?!" Shi Yan exclaimed.

The Crown Prince's expression became even more helpless when he heard this, and he couldn't help but explain, "There has never been any death. Those were all rumors that Uncle Wang deliberately spread."

"Then why did he curse himself to die?" Yu Tian asked in confusion.

"Because I don't want to be disturbed." The Crown Prince felt angry and distressed when he said this.

"Ten years ago, Uncle Wang's hair turned white overnight because of a mental disorder, and his life span was suddenly shortened from 500 to 600 years for a double S-level person to 300 years for an ordinary person."

"Uncle Wang, who could no longer go to the battlefield, chose to retire. However, he believed that everything he had endured was his own choice. He did not want anyone to sympathize with him or feel sorry for him, and he did not want anyone to disturb his quiet retirement life, so he fabricated a rumor about his own death."

Although their father was a bit cruel to his wife and children, he was very good to his only brother. Not to mention that his brother was now in a mental rage for the empire and would leave before him in a few years.

Naturally, whatever the uncle said was the truth at that time. Therefore, the news of the death of the old marshal of the empire spread. When the people of the empire asked the royal family to verify it, the royal family remained silent.

And so, everyone has always believed that the old marshal is dead until today.

Although the Crown Prince called him his uncle, his eyes were full of smiles.

As long as he can climb the ladder to heaven, Uncle Wang’s mental disorder will no longer be a problem, and he can even go further.

The Crown Prince was looking forward to seeing his uncle in action on the battlefield again.

Ye Chen listened to the Crown Prince's words, but he paid more attention to another point.

Ye Chen poked Lan Xing's arm and said, "Is this mental disorder easy to cure?"

Lan Xing nodded, "The mental disorder is caused by the erosion of turbid energy. It can be cured by removing the turbid energy."

The two did not hide their conversation, and everyone who heard it perked up.

Seeing this, the Fourth Prince wanted to ask something, but was stopped by the Crown Prince, who gently shook his head at his younger brother.

The Fourth Prince quickly calmed down and turned to look at the other people in the meeting room.

Although Su Fan and Shi Yan were also very excited, no one spoke. Instead, they listened quietly to the discussion between Ye Chen and Boss Lan Xing.

They know their boss well. If there is really a good way to solve the mental turmoil, the boss will definitely not keep it secret.

Although the boss never says anything, everything he does is beneficial to the entire human civilization.

The boss said that the ancient martial arts secrets that others had kept hidden were now available for sharing.

Later, when summoning ancient beasts, the interests involved were so huge that the boss did not hide anything.

Including the current Xiuxian Academy, the boss has always wanted the entire human race to become stronger.

As Ye Chen and Lan Xing were talking, they suddenly noticed the gazes of people around them. They tilted their heads slightly and looked back in confusion.

"Why are you all looking at me?"
