When Ye Zhongming stepped on the first step, he disappeared from Sky Monument Path and came to a weird space.


    He didn’t panic as he didn’t sense any danger in this pure white space.


    This was until a monster appeared before him.


    He recognized that it was an evolved lifeform often known as Greedy Spike.


    “Please point out its weakness and use your attack to answer.”


    A notification rang in his mind, telling him what the challenge was.


    But isn’t this test too simple?


    As long as one lived over two months in the apocalypse, one would recognize this low-level lifeform often seen in abandoned cities and the wilderness. Many people had tasted its meat, especially the two meat strips on its back. They were like tender beef and were one of the few delicacies in the apocalypse.


    Although Ye Zhongming felt it was too simple, he wasn’t overconfident. He took out Earth Sand Moon Blade and thrust it into an area two inches below this level three lifeform’s ear.


    Fifteen centimeters down the skin was its central nerve. As long as you hit it, this monster would die instantly.


    When Earth Sand Moon Blade thrust in, Ye Zhongming noticed that this lifeform he thought was real was just a touch model. When the blade touched the nerve, it disappeared, and he reappeared on the Sky Monument Path.


    Both of his legs landed on the first step.


    Ye Zhongming touched his chin. This was the Sky Monument test? Each step was a test.


    He was shocked.


    One couldn’t see the end of the path, but there were dozens of steps he could see. Did he have to go through dozens of tests?


    Ye Zhongming looked at the time. As compared to before, he noticed that he spent half a minute on this first step.


    He took a deep breath and got onto the second path.


    When the beep rang out, he started his demonstration, which he quickly succeeded in. The notification asked if he wanted to continue.


    He chose to do so and demonstrated the remaining methods.


    He felt that this place tested the evolved’s overall strength and not just combat strength.


    He knew what the others would choose but he wanted to treat all the tests seriously.


    Just like this, he passed step by step. He wasn’t quick but he tried to pass each step perfectly.


    As he expected, the others did not do the same. They wanted to complete it more efficiently and get to the next stage quickly to try to be the first on the top.


    Both sides had different ideologies from the start.


    When around a hundred people remained, Ye Zhongming was ranked arond 30. That didn’t match his ranking in the overall country rankings.


    As for those behind him, it wasn’t because they were completing it seriously like Ye Zhongming. They were too weak and even if they tried to finish the test quickly, they weren’t able to insta kill things like Ye Zhongming did.


    At the 13th step, Ye Zhongming felt that it became tougher. The space went from white to grey.


    His 13th step test was to flee with two ordinary people in a town that was occupied by monsters.


    If either person or himself died, the mission would be a failure.


    If you treated the Sky Monument Path as an exam script, then this was a multiple-choice question. It tested the evolved’s decisiveness, calmness, hiding ability, breakthrough ability, protection ability, etc. It wasn’t easy to succeed.


    Not only were there many monsters in the town, the level distribution was similar to towns on earth and they were even slightly stronger.


    Even if Ye Zhongming’s level wasn’t restricted, but leading two ordinary people against monsters with a level four base and level five core with level six leaders was something he had to treat seriously. Even he found it hard.


    This 13th step test became the first divider between many evolved.
