Chapter 13

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

While everyone was talking, Emerson had passed the first check point. He had walked pass the first 1,000 steps in a short period of time.

However, he did not stop. He continued to challenge the 2,000 steps.

Everybody was shocked.

At that time, Emerson’s preliminary data was refreshed on the screen.

The people who were originally not optimistic about Emerson Cole immediately widened their eyes and stared at the data on the screen.

[Test target: Emerson Cole

Age: 19

Strength Gene: 110-120

Agility Gene: 60-70

Physical Gene: 60-80

Stage 1 Gravity Amplification: 10 times

Stage 1 Pressure Amplification: 13 times

Stage 1 Speed: 72 m/s

Comprehensive Test Rating: S +

…

“Oh my god… S+…”

Someone in the crowd muttered, “Not to mention the rating, just based on the estimation of the gene points obtained from the test, he should have already reached the standard of an all-rounded genetic warrior, right?”

No one replied because everyone was shocked and stunned.

Even the middle-aged man could not help but stand up, staring at this scene in a daze.

Although Emerson had only passed the first 1,000 steps test, from the data, it was already 100% certain that Emerson’s body contained all-rounded genes. It was just that he was slightly outstanding in terms of strength.

As for how far he could achieve, it was no longer important.

The final data only represented strength, and it had nothing to do with the quality of the gene.

At that moment, the middle-aged man actually wanted to inform Emerson so that he could choose to give up on the second 1,000 steps.

Emerson was the second person to possess an all-rounded gene 3,700 years after the establishment of the Indigo Empire!

Whether he was strong or not was not important. As long as he could survive and fuse with the highest quality royal bloodline, then the next generation would have a high chance of obtaining an all-rounded gene!

It was something very important to them and their country!

It was not an exaggeration to say that whether the Indigo Empire would be able to soar in the future would depend on whether Emerson would be able to walk out alive!

Even though the middle-aged man wholeheartedly wanted to inform Emerson about it, he had no way of doing so.

That space was not created by humans.

After the mutation of the Blue Planet, many genetic warriors discovered that these mysterious places had the effect of tempering their strength. Hence, they built a city nearby.

However, with the weakening of genetic quality, the space that was originally used for training was no longer suitable for younger genetic warriors. Hence, it became a tool to test their strength.

Once someone entered the mysterious space, he would be cut off entirely from the outside world.

Those inside the people would either die or voluntarily withdraw themselves.

The greatest danger on the Eternal Stairs was that one might not feel much pressure on the first 1,000 steps. One might think that they could challenge another 1,000 steps. However, the moment they stepped onto the first step, they would be trapped by the tremendous pressure. They were unable to move and fall into a the bottomless abyss.

However, from the looks of it, Emerson could still cope with it.

On the screen, Emerson, who had passed the first step, was still walking swiftly on the steps.

He passed the steps effortlessly. Everyone could not help but wonder if that was the test of an all-rounded genetic warrior with the highest death rate.

In less than 5 minutes, Emerson once again broke through the 2,000 steps barrier and headed for the 3,000 steps barrier!

The data on the interface was updated once again.

“SS! He’s been rated SS! How is this possible?”

“His speed increased as he walked! How did he do this?”

The new data once again shocked them.

“Impossible! Absolutely impossible! There must be a problem with the test!”

Lucius could not sit still. He pointed at Emerson on the screen and shouted, “He’s clearly just a clown who tried to cheat his identity card by taking drugs. How can he have such strength?!”

“Enough!”

The middle-aged man snorted. “Are you questioning the authenticity of my testing area and challenging the authority of my testing area?”

As he spoke, he waved his hand impatiently. “Chase him out!”

A powerful genetic warrior immediately walked toward Lucius. He ignored Lucius as he tossed him out of the area.

“I have to report this matter to Grandpa Elrond as soon as possible.”

The middle-aged man realized the importance of Emerson to the Indigo Empire. He hurriedly called over a subordinate to deliver the message for him.

The group of genetic warriors who had been watching the show at the side did not dare to say anything when they saw how cautious the middle-aged man was. They were afraid that they would be thrown out like Lucius.

On the screen, Emerson was still walking swiftly.

His speed did not decrease in the slightest. He was still moving at an extremely fast speed, crossing one check point after another.

3,000 steps!

4,000 steps!

5,000 steps!

When Emerson reached that position, he slowed down a little. However, his speed was still slightly faster than his initial speed. There would not be any danger of him falling down the stairs any soon.

“You must give up on the sixth check point…”

A voice suddenly came from the crowd.

From the looks of it, it was Emerson’s extremely high-quality all-rounded genes as well as his formidable strength that caused some people to change their opinion of him.

Emerson Cole, who was focused on the test, also felt the immense pressure. It was as if he had been thrown into the bottom of a deep sea, causing every inch of his skin to suffer a balanced impact.

Moreover, that feeling would continue to increase as he advanced.

He felt that his limbs were gradually becoming stiff, and even he was somewhat unfocused.

It was an extremely dangerous situation.

He had just crossed the fifth check point. If he were to give up at this moment, he would definitely die there.

Hence, he bit the tip of his tongue.

The smell of blood spread in his mouth. The intense pain instantly woke him up.

“When I was still not a genetic warrior, I was able to kill a Red-scaled Fire Python.”

“Now that I already possess such a powerful strength, could it be that I can’t even pass a useless test?”

A ferocity appeared in Emerson’s heart. Perhaps it was because that thought had stimulated his adrenaline, but at that moment, he actually felt his entire body brimming with strength.

Charge! Charge! Charge!

This was the only thought left in Emerson’s mind.

He had forgotten about the test and the bet.

His goal was to conquer the seemingly endless stairs.

6,000 steps!

7,000 steps!

8,000 steps!

9,000 steps!

Emerson Cole was under tremendous pressure as he constantly challenged his limits.

Blood kept seeping out of his skin. The blood soaked through his clothes, turning him into a bloody man.

With every step, the joints in Emerson’s body would make cracking sounds, as if they would fall apart at any moment.

However, Emerson did not give up. He stared at the distant horizon.

When he arrived at the 9000 steps, he suddenly realized something shocking.

The Eternal Stairs seemed to be coming to an end!
