Hearing this, Hero Xu Xian and Fearless Ning Caichen exchanged glances. They hadn't been insulted, so why bother provoking that Sprayer? Why doesn't Flourishing Flowers go himself?

Seeing the two remain indifferent, Flourishing Flowers's mouth twitched. He turned around and said, "I mean, what's the deal with you two? Are you not listening to me, your Hall Master, anymore?"

"Alright, alright, would you calm down a bit?" Chaotic Dance Steps's face darkened. "Those who know would identify you as the Hall Master of Cloud Lament Hall. Those who don't might mistake you for a common hooligan."

"Chaotic, are you looking down on me too?" Flourishing Flowers's eyes widened.

"It's not that I'm looking down on you. You've really been slacking off lately, especially since the Third Test began. Ever since you got together with Yan Ruyu, you've changed." Chaotic Dance Steps's mouth twitched, his voice grave. "You're an adult now; can't you be a bit more sensible? Why bicker with Newbie Players over such trivialities?"

Flourishing Flowers: ???

What am I bickering about? That kid turned back, gave me the finger, and even called me trash! Couldn't I seek revenge? What the heck is this all about? So, just because I'm in a relationship in the game, I deserve to be targeted by you guys?

"I'm tired. To hell with it all." Flourishing Flowers slumped onto the steps, a look of utter dejection on his face. I've truly failed as a Hall Master; even my subordinates are no longer listening to me.

One after another, the Fourth Test Players began to break their limits, continuously climbing from the hundredth step upward. The leaders, including The Heavens are Dead and his companions, also found their steps growing heavy.

As time ticked by, the Fourth Test Players were constantly harassed by the Veteran Players, which infuriated them. Surprisingly, however, not a single one of them gave up. How could they so easily abandon the spots they had fought so hard to earn? That would be a joke.

Seeing their taunts no longer had any effect, the Veteran Players gave up on continuing their harassment. It seemed this batch of Fourth Test Players far exceeded their expectations. At the very least, their resolute perseverance earned some admiration.

Soon, players began their charge towards the top spot. It was worth remembering that the first player to reach the peak would receive a reward of Ten Thousand Contribution Points. This was the highest reward ever offered during any Internal Testing period. With the existence of Realm-Breaking Pills, they could easily catch up to the Veteran Players ahead.

Of course, not every Fourth Test Player could obtain such a high reward.

The first-place player would receive Ten Thousand Contribution Points.

The second-place reward dropped sharply to One Thousand Contribution Points.

Third place was Five Hundred Contribution Points.

From fourth place onward, everyone else would receive only One Hundred Contribution Points.

What can you even do with one hundred Contribution Points? At most, it allows you to resurrect ten times.

Xu Nian stood atop the Mountain Peak, quietly watching the stairs, waiting for the Fourth Test Players to appear before him.

Soon, the first Fourth Test Player emerged: King of Spraying King Pen Duanchang!

Seeing this name, Xu Nian couldn't help but twitch his lips. Today's players are getting more and more flamboyant, each picking such flashy names.

King of Spraying King Pen Duanchang had, in fact, received professional climbing training, and he was no stranger to situations like carrying heavy loads up stairs. How should he put it? As long as he gritted his teeth, reaching the peak wouldn't be a problem.

As for The Heavens are Dead and the others who had resorted to cheats halfway, they were already exhausted. They could only watch helplessly as King of Spraying King Pen Duanchang surpassed them.

Following King of Spraying King Pen Duanchang was a petite female player: Glazed Brilliance. Her name wasn't much different from those of previous female players. What surprised Xu Nian, however, was that this female player had managed to break through from a crowd of five thousand. It seemed there were quite a few individuals with great determination among the Fourth Test Players.

Third place went to one of The Heavens are Dead's group: Thunder God Assist Me!

As soon as this guy reached the top, he collapsed on the ground, gasping heavily. The moment the pressure lifted from him, he felt as if he had ascended to heaven. Throughout the entire climb, he didn't know how many times he had wanted to give up. However, hearing the taunts of the Veteran Players around him, he abandoned that thought. Look down on Fourth Test Players? Now I'll show you that Fourth Test Players are no less capable than anyone else!

Once the top three had appeared, Xu Nian distributed their rewards and then deactivated the arrays on the stairs.

"Congratulations, everyone. From this day forward, you are disciples of the Profound Yellow Sect." Xu Nian looked at the three who had reached the peak and the other players resting on the stairs, smiling. "Adapt well to life in the Profound Yellow Sect. In a few days, it will be your time to truly show what you're capable of."

With that said, he turned to the Veteran Players.

"Junlin," Xu Nian began, "take your people from Lingxiao Hall to the Southern Continent. Investigate the situation there thoroughly and report back. Pay special attention to the exact numbers of the Demon Race and the current state of the Southern Continent. Do not engage the Demon Race; your sole responsibility is to scout. I will soon set up an Inter-Provincial Teleportation Array to the Eastern Region. After that, I'll need you to make a trip there as well."

"Understood!" Junlin nodded and immediately led the people of Lingxiao Hall away.

They had a specific task, so naturally, they considered its fulfillment their duty. Moreover, they had never been to the Southern Continent. This was a good opportunity to investigate the situation there.

The Fourth Test had already begun. It wouldn't be long before the players would also head to the Southern Continent. This would probably be after the Fourth Test Players had increased their Power and the new Halls were opened, right?
