"Senior Fang, please give us another chance!"
"Yes, I have traveled thousands of miles to be here; how can I simply leave like this?"
"I beg for Senior Fang's mercy!"
Such voices rose and fell, never ceasing their pleas.
Indeed, it was truly hard to return this way; most of these people hadn't come for the Ascending Immortal Fruit; anyone in their right mind knew their gap from the top ten of the Hidden Dragon List.
Their true intention was to fight against their peers, temper themselves and have something to boast about in the future, to say they had tried their best but missed by one move.
But what now?
They hadn't even passed the first stage, and they would certainly become the subject of ridicule in the future.
Unmoved, Fang Hongtai waved his hand, and the immense pressure atop the Heavenly Ladder dissipated instantaneously:
"This matter is not something I can decide; you heroes best go down and rest for now."
