Invincible Little School Doctor

Chapter 1915: Chapter 1915: Don’t Go, Wait for Me!

”Father, what exactly is that illusory floating ladder?” Ye Xian looked at Ye Hao, who had opened his Heavenly Eye, and curiously opened his own Heavenly Eye to observe, then asked in confusion.

”That floating ladder is called the Ascension Ladder. I suppose the end of the ladder must be the fabled Immortal Realm!” Ye Hao replied with a sigh and a smile.

Ye Xian suddenly understood. Upon seeing the figures on that ladder clearly, he couldn’t help but frown and remarked, ”Haochuan’s strength is still too weak. He struggles so much after just a hundred steps.”

”Not at all, he’s already quite strong!” Ye Hao responded with a laugh, ”Do you know that even Chu Sanxiao and others haven’t even seen this floating ladder?”

”They haven’t even seen this floating ladder? Is there some obstacle before it?” Ye Xian, who had never entered before, was immediately filled with curiosity.

”What lies ahead, rather than calling it an obstacle, it’s better to call it an opportunity,” Ye Hao explained, ”Otherwise, why do you think those Old Monsters were in such a hurry to leave?”

Ye Xian suddenly understood; it turned out that Chu Sanxiao and others hurried away because they received an opportunity and went back to comprehend it.

Having understood all this, Ye Xian looked at Ye Haochuan struggling desperately in the void, and couldn’t help but show a trace of pride on his face.

His son, with a Cultivation at the Nascent Soul Mid-Stage, had gone farther than the Old Monsters like Chu Sanxiao. Saying this out loud would surely embarrass those Old Monsters to no end.

”Father, do you think Haochuan can reach the peak of the ladder?” Ye Xian asked with a bit of expectation.

Ye Hao shook his head and replied, ”The pressure on each step of the ladder increases one after another. Haochuan reaching this point is already extremely rare. To reach the peak, that’s exceedingly difficult!”

Ye Xian was slightly disappointed upon hearing this and looked up to see that Ye Haochuan’s movements were indeed incredibly difficult, as if he might fall at any moment.

”Keep going, my son!” Ye Xian silently cheered for Ye Haochuan in his heart.

Now that he could see Ye Haochuan’s figure, he was no longer worried about his son’s safety and hoped not for his son to be quickly pushed out, but rather for Ye Haochuan to ascend as high as possible.

At this moment, Ye Haochuan was unaware that his figure had already fallen into the eyes of Ye Hao and Ye Xian. After enduring countless hardships, he finally climbed to the one-hundred-and-tenth step. Yet he couldn’t take another step.

It was as if he had exhausted all his potential. Any slight movement caused all his muscles to twitch uncontrollably, as if in protest or rebellion.

”Have I reached my limit?” Ye Haochuan bit down hard on his teeth, sighing with unwillingness.

He glanced slightly at the top of the stairs, and immediately felt a thousand voices rise in his heart, all urging him to give up.

The road ahead was too long; he was still circling at the bottom, already at his limit. How could he reach the summit?

”Perhaps grandfather was right, my Cultivation is still insufficient. Once I reach the Half-Step Immortal Boundary, I will surely breeze through this place...”

Sometimes, people are like this. It doesn’t matter how long you’ve persisted, how much effort you’ve put in before, or how much motivation you’ve offered yourself. Once the thought of giving up arises, all previous perseverance collapses like a dam destroyed by an anthill, disappearing without a trace.

So at this moment, Ye Haochuan was fully contemplating how to retreat for now, then return later to resolve the present difficulties through dedicated Cultivation.

With that thought in mind, his body seemed to relax as he naturally prepared to step down to the next step.

Outside the entrance, Ye Hao and Ye Xian saw this scene as well.

Ye Hao shook his head with a smile, ”He’s reached his limit, get ready to welcome him back. As soon as he takes one step back, he’ll be immediately ejected.”

The smile didn’t seem to be directed at Ye Haochuan, but more so at himself. He, too, had been through this process before. Once the thought of giving up takes hold, there is no going back, and all past efforts become void.

”He’s already very impressive!” Ye Xian said with a smile, though a hint of disappointment was evident in his eyes.

As a father, he always hoped his son would be even more outstanding, even if his son was already exceptional.

The people below were ready to welcome Ye Haochuan’s failure, but just then, Ye Haochuan’s descent suddenly halted.

It wasn’t that Ye Haochuan had a sudden realization; rather, a voice suddenly sounded in his ear.

”Are you going to give up?”

This voice was gentle yet sounded like a magical incantation, shaking Ye Haochuan’s mind and body.

He turned slightly towards the source of the voice and saw Sophia sitting on the steps, smiling at him.

Was it an illusion?

Yes, of course, it was an illusion!

At this time, Sophia was still a bat, quietly sleeping in the small golden coffin, not appearing here in this form and at this time.

But Sophia’s appearance ignited a certain obsession in Ye Haochuan’s heart.

Was he going to give up just like that? What about Sophia? Would he really let her wait in danger for him to spend years breaking through to Half-Step Immortal?

”No, I don’t have time. I must succeed this time!” Ye Haochuan suddenly awoke, quickly retracting the leg he was about to move back.

He bit hard on the tip of his tongue, dispelled all distractions, and resolutely stepped onto the next step, determination blazing in his eyes.

This step’s obstruction wouldn’t weaken due to an emotional change, but this time he was exceptionally determined; no matter how great the resistance, he would step forward without hesitation.

Because of this determination, this time he succeeded.

Ye Haochuan felt a surge of joy and a renewed sense of motivation. He turned to look at Sophia but found that she had disappeared.

He panicked and quickly looked around, only to find that Sophia’s figure had already appeared over ten steps ahead, though he didn’t know when this happened.

Beside her was another beautiful figure, a face he had longed to see, tugging at his heartstrings even more.

”It’s been too long, I’ve really kept you waiting too long!” Ye Haochuan looked at that figure, tears unconsciously welling up in his eyes.

The figure was none other than Lin Qingxuan. Since becoming a Divine Sacrifice, Ye Haochuan, out of necessity, had to place her in the small golden coffin.

This confinement had already lasted for several months.

The solitude of these months could grip the heart with anxiety at just a thought.

However, Lin Qingxuan was as captivating as ever at this moment, compelling and hard to look away. Especially her clean, pure smile was utterly comforting.

Lin Qingxuan seemed to notice someone watching her, turned, and lightly smiled back, showing off the infant in her arms like a treasure to Ye Haochuan.

This infant, of course, was Jiang Shuying’s and his son. In Lin Qingxuan’s arms, the infant no longer held a sickly appearance, looking adorably chubby.

Quickly, Lin Qingxuan turned back, chatting and laughing with Sophia as they climbed the steps.

”Don’t go, wait for me!”

Ye Haochuan, not knowing from where he drew the strength, surprisingly took several steps in quick succession.
