Lin Huang did not expect to be expelled from checkpoint 56 by the Stairway Tree .
However, as he thought about it carefully, there was nothing strange about it . The Stairway Tree became out of balance due to his existence .
Other than the demigods, none of them could fight 50 million immortal-level rank-9 monsters, not even a purple gold-rank would be able to do so .
The combat strength of the members of the Genius Union was restricted to immortal-level rank-9 . As for immortal-level rank-9s, even a supreme genius like Chan Dou could only fight a yellow gold-rank at his best .
Having Lin Huang in the Genius Union was like the existence of a programming error .
If it were not because of his combat strength only being on immortal-level rank-7, he would have long been expelled from the Genius Union .
Since he could no longer earn any rewards on checkpoint 56, Lin Huang did not stay there any longer . Recalling Bai and the rest, he then summoned the Herculean King and continued to climb .
What he did not know was that he stirred issues up again as soon as his Stairway Tree points stopped increasing .
On the leaderboard, Lin Xie who ranked first had accumulated more than 35 billion points .
"Take a look at Lin Xie's points . They've stopped increasing!"
"The points have stopped increasing . Did the system just lock it because he cheated?"
Just as the majority of them thought that Lin Huang's points had been locked, the points that he had accumulated changed . However, only the last four digits changed .
That then put a stop to these rumors .
The change in points was because the Herculean King had encountered a lonely Combat Hornetdemon as it climbed up and gave it a hard smack .
After a short while, people noticed that the checkpoint where Lin Huang was at had changed .
"Lin Xie has gotten to checkpoint 57!"
After less than five minutes, again, there was a change in the checkpoint where he was .
"He's on checkpoint 58 now!" Many of them were amazed .
"He managed to break through checkpoint 57 in less than five minutes!"
He now encountered the Devil Swamp on checkpoint 57 of the Stairway Tree . Most people had to be extra careful when they reached this checkpoint . Since creatures from the outside were not allowed to fly when they were on the Stairway Tree, they would sink if they happened to step into the swamp . The swamp had a very strong magnetic force and could engulf humans . Moreover, most of the plants in the swamp had offensive abilities and would attempt to attack the humans who tried to get through that checkpoint .
Normally, in order to get through this checkpoint, one would have to carefully look for a landing point and be cautious of each step they took .
However, Lin Huang aggressively summoned the Herculean King straight away . An ice road was built in the middle of the swamp .
Under normal circumstances, if humans attempted to pave the road this way, it would be destroyed by the plants around . However, the Herculean King was on crimson gold-rank . The ice it made caused the plants surrounding it to freeze-up . Right until the Herculean King and Lin Huang had left checkpoint 57, the plants on both sides had not thawed . In fact, even if these plants did not freeze up, it would be difficult for them to destroy the ice road that had been paved by Herculean King .
Checkpoint 58 was also a checkpoint with monsters . The Mutated Serpent occupied this checkpoint .
More than half a year ago, when Lin Huang was in the Secret Forest, he had encountered this monster .
The Mutated Serpent was a very special type of serpentine monster which would undergo a genetic mutation once in its early phase of life . This mutation caused each of them to be very different from the rest of the Mutated Serpents . Some of them were huge, some could secrete toxin, some were extremely fast, and there were even those that had control over elemental forces . Even twins would be completely different after the mutation .
As for ordinary humans, they would have a headache if they encountered monsters like these because before the Mutated Serpent launched any attack, they would have no idea what abilities it would possess at all .
However, Lin Huang did not mind whether he knew what their abilities were or not since he was capable of defeating them .
When he got to the 58th checkpoint, Lin Huang summoned Bai and the rest of the imperial monsters again . Then, he instructed them to hunt separately .
The reason why he entered the Stairway Tree this round was not to obtain points . His main purpose was to obtain spiritual energy because one could rarely find a place with a dense monster distribution in the real world . Due to limited resources, most of the monsters on holy fire-level and above would not live in groups . Apart from the monster horde from which Lin Huang could obtain spiritual energy, he could hardly find anywhere else he could gather spiritual energy in such a convenient way .
Therefore, even though he was kicked out of checkpoint 56, he still decided to hunt for monsters as soon as he reached checkpoint 58 . He did not mind being kicked out again after this wave of the monster horde as the Stairway Tree had no way of overriding the spiritual energy which he had obtained .
Bai and the 13 other imperial monsters left, guided by Bloody . They then began to look for the lair of the Mutated Serpent .
The living habits of the Mutated Serpent on the 58th checkpoint were somewhat similar to that of the Combat Hornetdemons on checkpoint 56 . Tens of thousands of Mutated Serpents formed a group, digging a huge serpents' den underground . They lived and multiplied together .
There might be about 20,000 Mutated Serpents in the smaller den while there could be about 200,000 of them living together in the larger den . The capacity of the underground serpents' den was much larger than that of the Combat Hornetdemons' .
Following Bloody's instructions, Bai and the rest sneaked into the serpents' den and wiped them out .
On the leaderboard, Lin Xie's points began to rise again .
Seeing Lin Xie's points increasing again, the members of the Genius Union who were online had gotten used to it by now .
"Do whatever makes you happy since we're just the audience . " That was what ran across most of their minds .
While Lin Huang continued obtaining points on checkpoint 58, the Genius Union finally responded to the reports that were made .
A message was instantly sent to everybody's communication devices .
"Since many of you have raised your objections to the rise in Lin Xie's points and have reported him for cheating, the union has repeatedly looked into this matter . From the final results of the investigation, it turns out that Lin Xie did not cheat . Lin Xie managed to obtain a massive amount of points because he killed all the monsters in a proper way . The data of the points are valid and they aren't false data .
"Other than that, many members have suspected that there could've been a system glitch . The system has been both self and externally inspected . The final inspection results show that there's nothing wrong with the system of the Stairway Tree . Please take note of the above . "
As soon as the message was received, the Genius Union members began to kick a fuss about it .
"F*ck! He isn't cheating even though he has collected hundreds of millions of points in a minute?! How strong can Lin Xie be?!"
"Lin Xie isn't cheating and there aren't any system glitches . The conclusion is that Lin Xie is cool!"
"Is Lin Xie the son of the Genius Union?"
"He might be an investor of the Genius Union . "
If there were human emotions in the Genius Union system, their inner voice might have been saying, "Lin Xie's playing by the rules . What can I do? I'm in despair! He has almost ruined the system!! Damn it, I feel like kicking him out!"
