As time passed, more and more people passed the test. With half an hour left, Lachlan and Fiona still had hundreds of steps to climb!
At this point, Fiona's pretty face was extremely flushed, and large beads of sweat kept rolling down.
Not only was there pressure on the ladder, but there was also immense pressure from the numerous seniors and assessment disciples on the mountaintop.
"Lachlan, why don't you go up first."
"I might fail, I can't drag you down!"
Although Fiona said this, her steps were still extremely difficult as she ascended another step.
Huff, huff!
As soon as she reached this step, Fiona began to breathe heavily, her expression filled with pain.
Seeing her like this, Lachlan couldn't help but feel a pang of heartache.
Fiona was already amazing! Ten minutes ago, she was almost at her limit, and yet she still persisted through hundreds of steps.
This kind of perseverance was already commendable.
Thinking of this, Lachlan lightly smiled and said to Fiona, "Fiona, I believe you can do it."
"Also, please believe in me, I can definitely take you to the mountaintop."
"Okay?"
Hearing Lachlan's gentle words, Fiona felt a surge of strength welling up inside her once again.
After glancing at Lachlan, she quickly nodded solemnly and continued to lift her feet towards the top.
At this point, there were few people left on the ladder. They were either close to the mountaintop or despairing and giving up because they were far from their goal.
Only Lachlan and Fiona were still persevering!
In the last ten minutes, they were only five hundred steps away from the top!
"Hehe, these last five hundred steps are the hardest in the entire ladder! Fiona definitely won't be able to make it!"
"Lachlan is also foolish. Clearly, he has the strength but insists on being with Fiona. He's probably going to be dragged down by her."
"Who cares, having two fewer competitors isn't bad for us!"
The disciples who had already passed on the mountaintop had their eyes on Lachlan and Fiona. They could also see that Lachlan seemed to be much more relaxed compared to Fiona.
"Kyrie, what do you think?"
At this moment, Sullivan frowned and asked Kyrie.
Of course, he was referring to how Lachlan and the others would pass this first assessment. After all, in his eyes, Fiona's chances of passing were somewhat slim.
"I think Lachlan will definitely surprise us."
Kyrie was very confident in Lachlan and said with a faint smile.
Oh?
Sullivan was somewhat surprised by Kyrie's confidence. His gaze couldn't help but turn towards Lachlan and Fiona below.
At this point, Fiona was indeed in bad shape. The flush on her face had turned pale, and her legs trembled with every step.
If it weren't for Lachlan accompanying her all along, Fiona would probably have given up long ago.
"One last minute! Please hurry up!"
At this moment, the Enforcement Hall disciples next to them reminded Lachlan with complex expressions.
Whether it was Lachlan's perseverance or Fiona's resilience, it filled them with admiration.
If Lachlan got stuck at this first stage, they would be very regretful, especially since they had just explained the matter to the Head of the Enforcement Hall.
"Lachlan... I can't hold on anymore!"
