Chapter 1182: Pushing forward
“Ye Zhongming moved!”
A person pointed at the rankings and shouted in shock.
Everyone stared at Ye Zhongming and saw he went from 36 to 37.
“I thought that he was going to fall on the 36th step. Who knew that he would get out? As expected from a seven-star evolved.”
Although he said that, the person’s tone was mocking. Some people laughed.
“I am not rude to Boss Ye, but his strength lies in crafting and not fighting. Sky Monument Path tests an evolved’s overall ability. Allow me to be honest; this isn’t suitable for Boss Ye. Haiz, what a waste. Although the apocalypse changes everything, we have to follow the rules. People have their own strengths. But for him to reach this stage is already quite decent.”
A Five Ring Money person said it. He felt he had fairly evaluated Ye Zhongming’s performance, but it didn’t sound good to either side.
People who opposed felt that this person thought too highly of Ye Zhongming. He just used his equipment to push his way up. The overall ability that the Sky Monument Path tested didn’t care much about equipment, which is why Ye Zhongming found it challenging now.
Moreover, he had a chance to back out but didn’t and chose to continue. He thought too highly of himself. Since he knew that it would be tough, why make things hard? Just retreat. He would be able to get rewards.
But he had to compete for the near-impossible first place. Was he stupid?Those who supported Ye Zhongming felt that although he was slow, he was still progressing. He might stop on a step, but he wasn’t eliminated, which meant the challenge was still going on.
Since that was the case, what was the point in saying all that? Why did you conclude before the outcome was out?
The happiest was Zhang Zhongzhen. Like his father, he didn’t like Ye Zhongming. This didn’t come only from Cloud Peak and the Resistance Zone’s conflict but because of Mu Xinfei’s support.
If there hadn’t been Cloud Peak, Zhang Hetai, and Zhang Zhongzhen could have swallowed S Zone and become the largest faction in the Resistance Zone, even in the entire country.
If Zhang Hetai married Mu Xinfei, the two zones would merge.
Unfortunately, Cloud Peak made a move and helped Mu Xinfei, which crushed Zhang Hetai’s wishes.
Ye Zhongming spoiled their chance of becoming the country’s overlord.
That meant many things: unlimited resources, a huge battle squad, and high-level advanced potions.
But those disappeared because of Ye Zhongming.
How would he be nice to him because of that?
Now that Ye Zhongming was the worst, he wouldn’t give up on that opportunity.
“This is a dangerous dungeon. If your boss suddenly… Disappears, will you cry?”
Zhang Zhongzhen smiled, and his actions were exaggerated to anger those from Cloud Peak. Gao Yi, Zhao Xiangxue, and the others knew it, but there was nothing they could do. Ye Zhongming was far behind.
“Keke, it is best he dies inside. I hope he does.” A voice interrupted, causing Gao Yi and Nalan Battle Squad to stare.
The Royal Guild’s chief smiled, his expression a little twisted. He looked at Ye Zhongming’s name with hatred.
His injuries were healed, so you couldn’t see anything, but he was handicapped and would never be able to fight.
He hated the person who caused it.
Gao Yi and the others knew why, so they just smiled coldly. They knew their boss’s agreement with Five Ring Money and knew that this old fellow was just being hot-headed. He didn’t dare say why he hated Ye Zhongming or Five Ring Money would kill him.
But the others didn’t know. Seeing that both sides wanted to clash, they were happy.
Zhang Zhongzhen looked at them and was deep in thought.
Deacon Bai and Deacon Ouyang looked at each other and kept silent. They didn’t help the Royal Guild chief but didn’t stop him.
“Look!”
Someone pointed at the rankings and drew everyone’s attention over.
Everyone noticed that Ye Zhongming moved and progressed to another step.
Everyone was silent. Those people who evaluated Ye Zhongming felt like they had been slapped in the face.
“Cough cough, although Boss Ye improved, I still think this is his limit. The gap to those in front is too huge and he used too much time.”
A person who didn’t think highly of Ye Zhongming said awkwardly.
“Based on what you say, our boss didn’t use much time on that step.”
Zhao Xiangxue replied furiously. These people saw that Ye Zhongming was lacking behind but ignored the time he used to clear the step.
“Beautiful. The steps aren’t in stages, so what if he passed them quickly? Maybe he faced a challenge that needed him to use equipment. That is your boss’s strength.”
A Zhang Zhongzhen subordinate giggled and helped his Master.
“Go get ready to welcome your boss back.” Zhang Zhongzhen giggled and mocked.
“You…” Zhao Xiangxue wanted to say something, but Li Qiang tugged at her. She looked and saw that this gunner was looking at the rankings emotionally.
She saw that the number behind Ye Zhongming’s name had increased!
Boss progressed!
No one said anything else about Ye Zhongming. They looked at the rankings. They were both anticipating something but also afraid of something.
Oh---
The number increased again, which meant that Ye Zhongming had progressed!
Too quick. He passed three steps in such a short time.
Everyone felt that something would happen.
As expected. He moved again and entered the next step.
Gao Yi and the others were excited. Many Nalan Battle Squad people cheered. They had been dissed previously.
People, including Zhang Zhongzhen, looked worse and worse. Each increase felt like a slap to their face.
But Ye Zhongming didn’t pity them and quickly pushed on!
Ye Zhongming quickly reached the 40th step.
Resistance Zone and Five Ring Money heaved a sigh of relief as this was tough. The other three spent a huge amount of time on it.
That should stop Ye Zhongming.
But they were disappointed. He spent slightly more time and passed it.
“This… Impossible!”
Zhang Zhongzhen shouted and clenched his fist.
But Ye Zhongming definitely wouldn’t listen to him. Those people watched as he got close to the other three!
