After hanging up the call with Yao Lan, Lin Huang returned to his hotel and logged in to the Genius Union again .

On the Stairway Tree, the notice from the Emperor's Heart had become the focus of the public, and a majority of them believed the investigation result of the Emperor's Heart as it had never made a false judgment . Therefore, the discussion shifted from how Lin Xie cheated yesterday to how Lin Xie managed to gather 800 points in a day .

Lin Huang did not pay much attention to it . As soon as he returned to the Stairway Tree, he summoned the Mighty Ape and began another round of climbing up the stairway .

The difficulty was much higher for him to get from the 31st checkpoint to the 40th checkpoint as he was attacked by immortal-level rank-5 worm monsters . Lin Huang took about 50 minutes to pass through each checkpoint . Once he reached the 40th checkpoint, he spent exactly an hour and a half to complete it . Upon reaching the 41st checkpoint, it was already 6 p . m . so Lin Huang did not continue, and logged out of virtual reality .

"The difficulty level is getting higher . My Mighty Ape is no longer effective from the 36th checkpoint onward . Fortunately, I still have Tyrant and I should be able to handle it…" As he exited the virtual reality, he looked rather flustered .

He had encountered various extreme conditions on the Stairway Tree . Each level felt difficult for him, and the difficulty was comparable to the training given by Mr . Fu .

"The difficulty level from the 31st checkpoint to the 39th checkpoint is designed for those at immortal-level rank-6 while for the 40th checkpoint required one to possess the ability of someone at immortal-level rank-7 . Due to the increasing difficulty, it might be difficult for me to get to the 50th checkpoint…" Lin Huang knew himself quite well . Although he had well-rounded abilities, his physique was much weaker compared to others on immortal-level rank-7 or rank-8 . The Stairway Tree did not only assess one's abilities but took stock of every aspect .

Most people get stuck on the 63rd checkpoint because the use of Life Power was prohibited . It was simply a test of one's physique, and cheating would not be possible . Naturally, this information was gleaned from Zhao San . He did not ask for the exact information but he knew that if his Life Power was restrained, it would be impossible for him to get through that .

After having his dinner, Lin Huang did not slack . Instead, he continued practicing Army Attack Tactics until it was slightly after 11 p . m . before he went to bed .

The next morning, he logged into Genius Union and continued climbing the Stairway Tree .

There was a rapid increase in the difficulty beginning from the 41st checkpoint . It took Lin Huang an hour and fifty minutes to get through the 41st checkpoint . From the 42nd to the 44th checkpoint, he took about two hours to get through each checkpoint, and only barely managed to get past the 45th checkpoint after two and a half hours .



There was a branch on the Stairway Tree's 46th checkpoint . It was the third gathering point after the 21st and 34th checkpoint .

After passing through the 45th checkpoint, Lin Huang did not continue . He had originally planned to ascend from a random point on the 46th checkpoint . However, Yao Lan sent him a message telling him that Huangfu Lin had arrived at the Sweep City so he logged out of virtual reality through a crack in the bark in the Stairway Tree .

Since a notice had been issued by the Emperor's Heart to address Lin Huang's matter, the others had been putting less focus on him . However, there was still a number of people who checked on Lin Huang's status every day .

The news about Lin Huang being on the 46th checkpoint already to most of the people at the gathering point .

Many of them wanted to challenge him . Since he was now a popular person, anyone who managed to kill him would obtain more than four million points .

Many of them had thought about this earlier when they were on the 33rd checkpoint . However, Lin Huang did not even stay at the 33rd checkpoint yesterday as he managed to get to the 41st checkpoint . At this moment, he was taking a break on the 46th checkpoint . To many of the other people, it was a good chance to rob him .

Since he was logged out of virtual reality, Lin Huang had no idea that he had caught the attention of so many people . After changing his clothes, he went to the Sweep Gourmet .

After sitting in room No . 301 for about three minutes, Yao Lan, Huangfu Hao, and a tall lady in a white top and black pants came in .

The lady had waist-length black hair and she looked pretty yet cool . Although she managed to restrain her aura well, Lin Huang could still vaguely feel that she was intimidating .

Lin Huang knew that she must be the Sweep Alliance's chief, Huangfu Lin .

Just as he was checking her out, she was checking him out as well .



"Ms . Lin, he's Lin Xie . " Yao Lan introduced with a smile, "Lin Xie, the pretty girl standing next to me is the chief of Sweep Alliance, Huangfu Lin . "

"Hello, nice to meet you . " Lin Huang stood up and shook hands with her .

After greeting each other, all three sat down .

As usual, Yao Lan was the one who ordered the dishes . It seemed like Huangfu Hao was rather reserved since he remained silent when he met his sister .

Lin Huang was not close with Huangfu Lin so he kept quiet as well .

Instead, Huangfu Lin started a conversation with Lin Huang, "I actually wanted to talk to you two days ago but you didn't answer my call . "

"Two days ago?" Lin Huang was stunned and immediately recalled what happened back then . "Is that your number? I thought someone called the wrong number so I didn't call back . "

"It's okay . Sometimes it's better to talk face to face . " Huangfu Lin nodded her head and immediately said, "I heard it from Xiao Lan that you didn't ask for the strategy of the Stairway Tree?"

"Yes . " Lin Huang nodded . "It's more interesting to pass through each checkpoint on my own . "

"Does it mean that you're now on the 46th checkpoint but you knew nothing about each checkpoint while you were going through them?" Huangfu Lin asked .

"When I was on the 21st checkpoint, I overheard the strategy for several checkpoints but I didn't ask for a more detailed description of the checkpoints . " Lin Huang nodded his head and admitted .

"Why do you want to do so? Isn't it much easier if you know how each checkpoint is supposed to be?" Huangfu Lin frowned .

"Climbing the stairway is like practice to me . It depends on how well-trained we are . That, will determine how far we'll be able to go . It's a natural thing . Don't take completing each checkpoint as a goal and attempt to achieve checkpoints that are beyond one's ability . " Lin Huang explained .

After listening to what Lin Huang said, Huangfu Lin, Huangfu Hao, and Yao Lan remained silent .

"I believe that you didn't cheat . " Huangfu Lin sized him up and said . "A person who says this will definitely not cheat for the sake of getting more points . "

"Thank you . " Lin Huang did not thank her for the compliment . Instead, it was because she could understand him .

"What do you feel about Sweep Alliance?" What Huangfu Lin asked had caught Yao Lan and Huangfu Hao's attention, shifting their focus to Lin Huang .

"It's good . " Lin Huang had nothing to comment on since he had just joined the Sweep Alliance for a few days . Aside from Yao Lan and Huangfu Hao, he was not close with the rest of them .

"I'm a straightforward person . To be frank, the Sweep Alliance is not for you . " Huangfu Hao and Yao Lan were stunned as they heard what Huangfu Lin just said . This also caused Lin Huang to frown .

"Sis Lin, you . . . " Huangfu Lin immediately interrupted, "The Sweep Alliance resembles a fish pond in the Genius Union . However, you aren't a small fish . You're a fish that has grown up . You can only become successful by living in a big ocean where the likes of the Heaven Alliance, Hong Alliance, and Tang Alliance are at . "

"You're not strong enough now so the Sweep Alliance can indeed be helpful to you . However, as your combat strength gradually grows, the Sweep Alliance will slowly become your burden . I hope that you can leave . I'll help you to contact the top alliances in Division 3 . I believe they'll accept you . "

Lin Huang stared at Huangfu Lin and kept quiet for a moment . It seemed like he could discern something from her eyes . It sounded like she was talking about herself… She was supposed to have a bright future . However, the Sweep Alliance became a burden to her due to its limited resources . She did not want Lin Huang to repeat the same mistake .

"Since you're being honest with me, I'll accept your suggestion and leave the Sweep Alliance . " Still, Lin Huang nodded his head and said, "However, there's no need for you to find another alliance for me . I know where to go . "

They then kept quiet during the dinner .

After dinner, Lin Huang returned the Sweep Alliance token to her . On the Genius Union's page, he tapped the "leave" button and left .

The other three of them were still sitting in the room .

"Let's go . " Huangfu Hao told Yao Lan . It seemed like he was angry at Huangfu Lin and was reluctant to talk to her .

"You may leave first . I have something to talk to Sister Lin . "

"What are you going to tell her? It's not easy to find a talented person but she asked him to leave . " Huangfu Hao could no longer bear it and said what he wanted to say .

"Go home first . I have something to talk to Sister Lin . "

After sending him away, Yao Lan sat in front of Huangfu Lin .

"Sis Lin, did you regret joining Sweep Alliance?"

Huangfu Lin kept quiet and did not answer her question .

"Thank you, I know the answer . " Yao Lan knew very well that silence was the best answer to her question . "I'm sorry . I shouldn't have been so reckless…"

"Don't feel sorry for me . You and Xiao Hao are victims too . " Huangfu Lin shook her head helplessly and lamented, "Sweep Alliance is like a sinking ship . Regardless of how good the captain and the sailor are, they won't be able to stop the ship from sinking . It's enough to have only three of us on the ship . We shouldn't drag the others with us into this . "
