Chapter 46: Don't Give Up, Don't Abandon!

  Fang Yiru turned around with a worried tone: "Li Shibo, can he get through this?"

  "If he can't even pass the test of a woman's charm, then his future achievements will also be limited, and it won't be worth accepting him as a disciple." Nan Ruoli said with a calm tone.

  At this time in the great hall, Zhangshan's brain, which was already falling into a gentle sleep, suddenly heard a faint cry.

  His mind suddenly cleared, and a sense of unknown crisis surged from the bottom of his heart, feeling himself sliding into some kind of abyss. He bit his tongue hard, and his spirit shook for a moment.

  He suddenly raised his hands and pushed the woman wrapped around him away, taking big strides forward. "I feel like I still have something very important to do, can't get bogged down here."

  The orioles and swallows followed behind him, constantly whispering to him to stay, but Zhang Shan was deaf to their pleas and walked faster and faster, leaving the enchanting beauties behind, and entered the next door.

  Just as the eggshell shattered, Zhang Shan felt like he had walked out of some kind of confinement and found himself standing on the steps of the Heavenly Ascent once again.

  The scene just now flashed through his mind like a lantern slide, and Zhang Shan suddenly realized that everything was an illusion.

  Looking around, he found himself standing on the 300th step. He let out a long sigh and said, "Bēi Líng, was that faint cry for help just now yours? That was close, I almost got lost in there."

  "The host's blood and energy are just right, but he still lacks the power to resist this kind of feminine charm, and this is a medium-level difficulty. It's understandable that he can't hold on, fortunately, this illusion didn't completely cut off my connection with the host's divine sense." The stele spirit let out a clear sigh of relief.

  Zhang Shan couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief, with a knife hanging over his head, he almost fell at this critical moment.

  Since this pass is just an illusion, it does no harm to the body, so there was no surge of heavenly and earthly primal energy on the stone steps this time.

  Zhang Shan stood still for a moment, calming himself down and restoring his composure before stepping onto the next level.

  Suddenly, a figure that had been sealed in his memory appeared beside the stone steps in front of him. It was Qiangzi, his good friend from his previous life on Earth, who was smiling at him with a radiant face.

  Zhang Shan felt a sudden daze in his heart, walked over, and subconsciously raised his hand to pat on Qiangzi's shoulder, but just as his hand was about to make contact, he suddenly came back to his senses.

  "I've already crossed over and been reborn in this world... there aren't any strong children here either..." he muttered to himself.

  Qiangzi laughed loudly at him and said: "A Shan, come on, let's go have a drink first."

  Zhang Shan turned around and walked down to the next step, a look of nostalgia in his eyes. "Goodbye, Qiangzi. I hope everything goes well for you over there, that you become a big landowner and win over the white rich beauty."

  After stepping down onto the lower level of the stairs, Qiangzi's figure suddenly vanished.

  Another beautiful figure appeared in front of him, it was his first love from his previous life, who had once sworn to be with him till death do them part, but ultimately left him for a rich and handsome man.

  "How are you doing now? Is that rich and handsome guy treating you well? Anyway, I wish you a lifetime of happiness." Zhang Shan took one last deep look at his first love, then walked away from her side once again without looking back.

  From past lives to this life, one after another familiar figures appear in front of me, memories in my mind keep emerging and then disappearing with the wind.

  One level higher, Gaofeng and Leimeng appeared on either side of the stone steps.

  Zhang Shan walked up to them and stopped, suddenly reaching out to pat their shoulders: "You two don't be discouraged, I will definitely get the best medicine for your internal injuries. Later we'll still roam the continent together, drink the best wine, and sleep with the most beautiful women."

  Gao Peng and Lei Meng burst out laughing at the same time, then suddenly dispersed with a loud bang.

  Zhang Shan suddenly felt his feet sink, two chains appeared out of thin air and wrapped around his feet, and a force was pulling him backwards.

  A flash of insight in her mind, it turned out that this pass was testing one's own bondage in this world. The more bondage, the greater the resistance, and the less likely to reach the end.

  He smiled faintly and walked forward with a much heavier pace: "In life, if there's not even a little attachment, being alone and having no one to rely on, then what's the fun in becoming the strongest?"

  Cai Qingyan's figure appeared on the stairs, Zhang Shan gazed at her smile and shook his head, sighing: "Although it's a transaction, I still owe you, so let's add you to that too."

  As Situ Qingwan's figure disappeared, another chain was added to Zhang Shan's feet, and the pulling force also doubled again.

  Next, Wu Xueyue appeared on the steps, one after another, with a faint smile. Zhang Shan smiled wryly, these were also people he couldn't ignore.

  There were more chains on his feet, and Zhangshan began to find it difficult to take a step.

  Then, Fang Yiru's moving figure appeared before his eyes, her clothes fluttering, as if a heavenly maiden had descended to earth, with a smile at the corner of her mouth and her bright eyes shining with tender feelings, looking at him.

  Zhang Shan was momentarily stunned, and it took him a while to come back to his senses: "Alright, add yours too. But, beautiful Shifu, I wonder if you would smile at me like that in real life."

  The figure disappeared, and two chains were once again put on his feet.

  "How can there be two? Eldest sister, you're too much..."

  Zhang Shan sighed and thought to himself, "Could it be that she weighs more heavily in her own heart? Could I have really fallen for her?"

  He shook his head fiercely, throwing off the chaotic thoughts, and trudged forward with a heavy chain.

  Finally, his mother Xiao Su Xin's figure appeared in front of him. She walked over and gently hugged him: "Shan Er, no matter what you face, you must be strong, Mother will bless you from Qingyang City."

  Holding his mother's hand, Zhang Shan revealed a confident smile: "Mother, don't worry, your son will definitely stand at the top of this world."

  Xiao Su's heart was filled with a relieved smile as it slowly dissipated, and Zhang Shan's feet made a rustling sound, with a total of ten chains wrapped around his feet, all the way up to his thighs.

  With these shackles transformed into chains, Zhang Shan moved forward step by step like a snail. These were people he couldn't give up on. From now on, on the path of a warrior, he would also have to shoulder the responsibility of protecting them.

  "Boom..."

  Under his extreme exhaustion, he heavily fell onto the stone steps, struggled for a while, and couldn't get up for a moment.

  The voice of the stele spirit drifted over from the sea of consciousness: "If the host can't hold on, just draw your sword and cut off the lock chain to move forward lightly."

  "Am I supposed to abandon them? Absolutely not." Zhang Shan panted heavily and started crawling forward with his hands.

  "It's not necessary to give up everything, your mother's necklace is out of the question, but some other things that aren't so important, if they affect the host from reaching their destination, shouldn't they be given up?"

  Zhang Shan struggled forward: "I understand what you mean, this is a matter of give and take, I guess it's also the significance of this test, but for me, as long as there is still a thread of strength, I will never give up."

  The monument spirit fell silent, lost in thought, while Zhang Shan also compressed every last bit of strength in his body, inching forward little by little.

  He couldn't see how far he was from the finish line, but he gave it his all and kept moving forward.

  After an unknown period of time, his feet suddenly felt light, and the chains that had been pulling him disappeared. Zhang Shan raised his head to find himself already on the 400th step.
