Thinking of this, Xie Yun Sect finally felt a little calmer.
Immediately, he suppressed all the distracting thoughts in his heart and began to carefully consider the patterns on the stone wall again.
…
"The speed of Xie Yun Sect has indeed slowed down."
In another space of consciousness, Mu Daoren glanced at the ranking list, and a sneer appeared on his face: "This guy thought that if he took the lead one step ahead, he would be able to lead step by step, but he didn't know that he was already a step ahead from the beginning.
You've gone astray!"
"This important test indeed places great emphasis on understanding, but it also tests patience!"
"It is indeed not difficult to fill in the previous patterns, but at the end, if you don't have enough understanding and knowledge of the basic runes and rely solely on soul power and luck to forcefully decipher them, you are destined to be on a dead end.
"
"However, after all, this guy is the favorite son of the old guy from Xiexin Palace. He has always had a smooth life and has never experienced any setbacks. It is normal for him to go astray."
"In comparison, Beifeng, Shuiyan and these guys are the real threats!"
"And that Yuanjian..."
Thoughts were swirling in his mind, but Mu Taoist's eyes fell on the last name on the ranking list, and a solemn look appeared on his face.
More than three years have passed since this test began. Even the second-to-last person has filled in more than a dozen patterns, but Lin Yu still has zero patterns.
"This guy's ambition seems to be greater than all of us!"
He took a long breath. With his knowledge, of course he would not think that Lin Yu was really so useless. On the contrary, he became more wary of Lin Yu in his heart.
"However, being ambitious is not necessarily a good thing. After all, once the gap widens, it will not be so easy to catch up!"
A cold light flashed in his eyes, and Mu Taoist stopped thinking about anything and continued to be immersed in those patterns.
…
No matter what kind of calculations the Evil Cloud Sect, Mu Daoren and others had, Lin Yu didn't know. His mind was always fully devoted to those basic runes.
In the blink of an eye, seven years have passed since the first test began.
"Finally done!"
On this day, Lin Yu suddenly opened his eyes, and a rich light suddenly appeared in his eyes.
After more than three years, he finally completed the further subdivision of the one thousand and eight basic runes. Now, he has divided these basic runes into thirty-six groups!
"Thirty-six groups of runes may not be the end yet. I have a feeling that these basic runes can be further subdivided."
"but……"
After shaking his head, Lin Yu quickly gave up his thoughts.
Although he can continue to subdivide the runes, he has not forgotten that he is in a test after all, and this test only has three years left.
"Speaking of which, after these seven years, I don't know how far everyone else has progressed?"
A thought flashed through his mind, and Lin Yu immediately looked at the ranking list. At this glance, he could not help but raise his brows slightly.
I saw that the first place on the ranking list was Beifeng, and the number of patterns he had filled in had reached sixty-eight!
Ranking second is the old man Shuiyan. He has already filled in sixty-seven patterns, and is only one behind Beifeng.
As for the third Mu Taoist, the gap between him and Beifeng and Shuiyan is also not big. He has filled in a total of sixty-five patterns.
When we reached fourth place, we were clearly far behind the top three.
The strong man who occupies the fourth position is "Meng Ya" from the Beast Temple. He is also a strong man who has stayed at the extreme of the True God of Chaos for many years. So far, he has filled fifty-nine patterns.
Ranking fifth is Na Yuanhu. The number of patterns he filled in is the same as Meng Ya's, also fifty-nine, but his speed is slower than Meng Ya's.
As for the sixth ranked one, it was the Xie Yun Sect. He had filled in a total of fifty-eight patterns.
"Then the Evil Cloud Sect lags behind so far?"
After seeing the name after Yuan Hu, Lin Yu's expression suddenly became a little weird.
Logically speaking, the innate understanding of the Xie Yun Sect should be considered extremely extraordinary, otherwise he would not be so favored by the master of the Xie Xin Palace, but this ranking is really too low.
"It seems that that guy is too eager for quick success."
However, just after thinking about it for a moment, Lin Yu realized the reason. He shook his head, but he didn't care too much about the other party's affairs.
"There are only three years left until the end of the test. It seems that I have to hurry up!"
A smile appeared on his face. After entering this space of consciousness, his eyes finally fell on the pattern of the first stone wall for the first time.
Then, just a breath of time passed, and Lin Yu directly filled in the first pattern!
Next, it only took Lin Yu three breaths to fill in the second pattern, and the subsequent third pattern only took ten breaths.
The fourth pattern took him thirty breaths, and the fifth pattern took eighty breaths...
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, a year has passed since Lin Yu started filling in the patterns, and during this year, Lin Yu filled in a full fifty patterns!
Fifty patterns were filled in one year. This speed is really astonishing. You must know that before this, even the fastest Beifeng spent more than five years on this!
In just one year, Lin Yu had caught up with most of the testers and broke into the top ten in one breath!
Starting from the fifty-first pattern, Lin Yu's filling speed finally slowed down slightly.
However, at this time, the benefits of Lin Yu's seven years spent in subdividing the basic runes began to be reflected.
At this point, those patterns have indeed become more and more complex. Each pattern requires hundreds of basic runes to be filled in. This difficulty has increased thousands of times compared to before.
However, for Lin Yu, he only needed to carefully figure out the properties of the empty runes, and then, based on his detailed grouping, try each of the twenty-eight types of runes with corresponding properties.
In this case, although his speed has slowed down a bit, it has not stagnated at all and is still advancing steadily!
