Chapter 1611 Confirmed!

Ye Chuyun believed that his foundation was so solid that it was absolutely abnormal among those of the same level.

In addition, his numerous fortuitous encounters enhanced his potential, so his ability to come this far was no fluke.

From the first rank onwards, he reached the limit of his combat power at each stage, making it almost impossible for him to advance further.

If this potential isn't enough, then I really have nothing to say.

Ye Chuyun lifted his foot and stepped up again. This time, he didn't even look, and new steps appeared automatically.

It's so stable and reassuring.

The reactions of the people below varied.

They still couldn't figure out what this potential was worth.

If they could know exactly what this potential is, they could find a way to deal with it, at least to steadily continue generating new ladders.

But they didn't know.

Despite being filled with confusion, stagnation meant forever losing the chance to set foot in the holy land.

Ghost Blade and Yama suppressed their chaotic thoughts and gritted their teeth as they continued to move upwards step by step.

Although Chi Xue and Xuan Feng were trapped in place, their minds were working at lightning speed.

Ye Chuyun, having finally understood, felt a sense of clarity and quickened her pace.

Without further hesitation, the steps beneath his feet extended even faster than before, quickly widening the gap between him and the people below.

This scene was naturally witnessed by the people below.

"His speed has increased again." The voice beneath the Ghost Blade mask carried a hint of disbelief.

In places that test potential, accelerating the climb signifies that the other person has absolute confidence in their own potential.

What did he finally understand?

Yanluo silently watched the figure recede into the distance, clenching his fists.

But he still didn't dare to walk too fast, moving as slowly as a snail.

Chi Xue also looked up, her beautiful eyes flashing with complex light.

Ye Chuyun's unusual behavior further confirmed one of her guesses, but the guess was so startling that she was hesitant to confirm it.

They all knew that even if they asked, Ye Chuyun would never reveal a single detail.

Ten more minutes passed.

Just as Ghost Blade and Yama felt they were about to reach their limit.

Chi Xue suddenly raised her head, her eyes flashing with an unprecedented brilliance.

She gasped in shock.

"I understand now, I finally understand!!"

The shout instantly attracted everyone's attention.

"Chixue, what have you figured out? Tell me quickly!" Guiren pressed almost immediately, his voice filled with barely suppressed urgency.

Yanluo also turned his head sharply, his gaze fixed intently on Chixue.

Chi Xue's face was filled with a complex expression, a mixture of excitement and bitterness. She tried to communicate telepathically, but found that the rules of this space seemed to prohibit them from communicating privately.

Helpless, she could only raise her head and shout in a direction that could be heard both above and below.

"It refers to the limit of combat power. The potential at each stage mentioned by the Heavenly Dao refers to the limit of combat power that we can reach at each stage of cultivation!"

She took a deep breath and continued to explain loudly:

"For example, at the first level, there is a theoretical limit to combat power."

"The subsequent second-tier, third-tier... each tier should have a perfect combat power value that can be achieved at the current stage."

"If someone hones their foundation to the extreme at every stage and pushes their combat power to the true limit of that stage, then their potential is the highest under the current circumstances."

"Then this person's ladder to heaven can extend the furthest."

"Conversely, if someone is too eager for quick success at a certain stage, has an unstable foundation, or relies on external things to forcibly improve, resulting in failure to reach the combat power limit of that stage, then his potential will be deficient, and his ascent to heaven will naturally be cut off prematurely."

The limit of combat power!

These four words were like a sudden awakening, causing everyone who heard them to change their expressions instantly.

The face beneath the demon blade mask instantly lost all color.

He recalled that in his pursuit of assassination efficiency, he had indeed neglected to solidify his foundation at certain stages, relying more on unpredictable movements and innate abilities...

Yanluo's body swayed slightly. He pursued absolute power, but at some stages, in order to break through quickly, he had taken certain domineering pills provided by his family.

Although his strength increased dramatically, was that really the limit of that stage?

The other two also fell silent.

When Ye Chuyun heard that Chi Xue had come to the same conclusion, he was slightly surprised and thought to himself that this woman was indeed intelligent.

This further proves that his conjecture is correct.

"So that's the limit of combat power..." Ghost Blade's voice was bitter.

"I always thought that having enough combat strength was enough, but I never imagined that reaching the limit at each stage is the key to measuring potential..."

Yama roared in a low voice, "What's the use of knowing now? We've already come this far!"

He knew that his foundation might be considered strong among his peers, but it was probably still far from the true limit of each stage.

This gap is not obvious in normal times, but it is magnified infinitely on this ladder to heaven, becoming an insurmountable chasm.

After Chi Xue uttered these words, the excitement on her face faded, replaced by a deeper sense of helplessness and despair.

She understood the reason, but she was still unable to change the situation.

Her foundation and her potential are already set; there's no going back to make up for any potential deficits.

Just after Chi Xue voiced her guess, Tian Dao appeared again.

[Judgment: Trial participant Chi Xue's assessment of potential is correct.]

The Heavenly Ladder measures the degree of compatibility between the trial participant's theoretical combat power limit and the actual level of their progress at each stage of training. The higher the compatibility, the further the ladder extends.

Heaven itself has confirmed it!

Chi Xue's guess was absolutely correct.

The test of ascending the ladder to heaven is not some vague and ethereal luck, but rather the hard power to fully develop one's own foundation at each stage.

It measures the perfection of a practitioner's path.

"Just as I thought!" Chi Xue's eyes were filled with dejection.

She now fully understands why she stopped there.

While Shengtian possessed abundant resources, it also led her to pursue quick success, and at certain stages, she failed to hone her foundation to its true fullest potential.

Understanding the truth brought not hope, but deeper despair.

Because they cannot go back, they cannot make up for the imperfections left over from the past.

Their potential has already been determined.

"I refuse to accept this!!" Zi Sha stared intently at the figure above, letting out a roar of resentment.

"How could he have gone so far? Did he reach the so-called combat power limit at every stage from the first level?"

"How is this possible? How could such a person exist in the world?"

Zi Sha's roar expressed the sentiments of everyone.

Yes, even if she understood the rules, Ye Chuyun's behavior was still too unbelievable.

The path to heaven is long and seems endless. The fact that he can keep going means that his potential, or rather, his level of completion of the combat power limit at each stage, is so high that it is incomprehensible.
