0210 Chapter 5 Rebirth of Blood Candle Castle (Section 8)
In the examination room, in Ms. Mediana’s dream...
With only a few seconds left, Zhen Cheng only had time to visually check the length of the weapon and the direction of the attack. Then he controlled the angle of the ax blade with all his strength and allowed the sharp blade to hit "himself" with its own weight.
The two words and spirits take effect at the same time, and they interact equally with each other.
It's just that the gray "self" in the dream hastily accepted the challenge, just trying to temporarily save her life and destroy the accuracy of the attack. But the real Zhen Cheng was well prepared and was not distracted from solving the puzzle that was not difficult for her from the beginning.
She prepared a foolproof remark, which was to invalidate the opponent's speech spirit in a very short moment. No matter how unimaginable and unexpected defense or counterattack methods the other self adopted, it had already been calculated before it started.
Ending.
With the same mana and the same speed of thinking, Zhen Cheng, who was well prepared, took effect first, invalidating the self-protection measures taken by the other person in the next moment. The attack took effect.
After all, he is not good at wielding swords and guns, so Zhen Cheng failed to hit "himself" in the head with the ax blade as he wished. Fortunately, the attack worked, and the heavy blade succeeded in breaking "his" weak shoulder blade, and most of it was buried in the shoulder.
among.
Silver-white "blood" flowed all over the floor. Zhen Cheng, who had no relevant experience, could not judge whether the attack was fatal enough, but there was no doubt that the "self" who was severely injured was no longer able to act to solve the puzzle, even though she probably already knew the answer.
.
"Is this okay?!" A burst of noise broke out in the examination waiting hall outside the illusion, and a sharp voice like a bird's call erupted from it: "I can beat up a hundred of these weaklings!"
"That's not fair!"
When Zhen Cheng then spent twenty seconds to solve the puzzle and returned to the familiar hall again, her ears immediately heard Sephis's scream that was so uncontrollable that it drowned out other sounds:
"Mingdu level! Her opponent is just a mortal! Even if she is facing herself, the risks she needs to face and the effort she puts into killing herself are much less than us!
Does Blood Candle Castle need low-level ants like her who are ignorant and courageous? Is the only criterion for the entrance examination that the weaker it is, the easier it is to pass?
Are we, the proud sons of Heaven, who have a partially sublimated inheritance, and have been honing and evolving our bodies and wills since we were born, meaningless in the eyes of Blood Candle Castle?"
Sephis dared to say such arrogant words, but the candidates in the hall did not feel any resentment. Because even among the candidates who are qualified to participate in the Blood Candle Castle assessment, there are only a handful of strong ones who can reach the point of light realm.
As Cephis said, anyone who can reach his level at his age, without exception, must have extraordinary talent, abandon human efforts and even a lot of luck.
Of course, the reason why he dared to speak so openly was because he had long known that Blood Candle Castle was not a place where you would be punished or treated unfairly just because you showed yourself to contradict your mentor. And the keen Zhen Cheng unexpectedly gained insight from his performance.
at this point.
So she glanced at Ms. Mediana's face, and when she saw that she still looked calm and calm, she smiled teasingly at Sephis' twisted face:
"The difficulty of overcoming oneself has nothing to do with one's own strength, right? In fact, Ms. Mediana has revealed too many hints to us.
‘In today’s exam, you will understand that there will always be others in the fields that you are good at, and the shortcomings that you think you have shortcomings will also become your advantages at some point.’ Do you still remember this sentence?
The "self" in the illusion is not a completely copied self. They will be stronger than us in the areas where we are good at, and weaker than us in the areas where we are lacking. On this basis, they will use the most efficient way.
Trying to win the exam from us.
It was the way the first two students failed that confirmed this to me. The first student directly launched an attack on the other student, but was directly defeated by the other party with a more rapid counterattack.
The other self of the second classmate, like the original owner, did not try to attack and interfere, but simply solved the exam puzzle at a faster speed.
Then, the examiner lady gave a clearer reminder: ‘There are thousands of roads to success, but losers always fall on the same level’.
Obviously, the reason for our failure is not lack of strength, but because we always subconsciously use our own strengths to compete with 'self'.
Classmate Sephis, when you nonchalantly accuse others of being ignorant and courageous ants, have you ever considered that... your own intelligence may not be as good as the ants you call them?"
Zhen Cheng's words surprised many candidates present, and they suddenly realized that there were very reasonable selection criteria hidden in this seemingly inexplicable examination.
There were also some candidates who nodded or sighed indifferently. Most of them were relatively mature guys dressed like arcane mages. Apparently Zhen Cheng was not the only one who had seen through the true meaning of the test questions.
However, more eyes are still on Zhen Cheng. Generally speaking, the process of sublimation will improve the intelligence and physical strength of the evolved person. High-ranking strong men should be able to crush unevolved mortals in all aspects.
But there is an exception, and that is when the lower level person in the dimensional realm has the potential that far exceeds the upper level person. Every living being has its own limit of potential in all aspects of talent. The closer it is to the limit, the harder it is to put in the effort.
The more you do, the more you get twice the result with half the effort.
Due to various causes and conditions, there are trillions of living beings in the universe who have embarked on the path of sublimation and begun to evolve and have successfully jumped to another dimension. However, there are only a few who can eventually become true gods. In addition to the rarity of inheritance, it is mainly because of their talent and potential.
limit.
At this time, all the creatures present have realized why the mortal girl in front of him got the opportunity to participate in the Blood Candle Castle assessment...except maybe Zhen Cheng himself.
The gaze falling on Zhen Cheng has changed from contempt to more attention and shock.
In a classroom far away, Cai Pixiu gaped at the images on the desk.
Just a moment ago, she watched Zhen Cheng solve Master Mediana's test questions in a clever way, and was about to explain her thoughts, but the scene suddenly cut to a ring.
"Someone has tampered with the live broadcast of the Austrian Academy of Law's assessment. This is the authority only teachers have," Qu Yun's voice came from the laptop on the desk in the middle of the classroom:
"Interesting, it seems that some people don't want this child who is attracted by the tutor to receive attention. But don't worry, I can correct it..."
"Misha, wait a minute, this is an exam for the Taijutsu Academy, right? This student..." The heavily armored female knight showed a cautious and slightly angry expression.
In the image, the red-haired girl smiled ferociously and openly.
