"It's him, Song Xianzhen from the Second Academy."
The second hospital? Not the second department? It sounds like...it seems that they are also students who applied to enter?
Cheng Lin raised his eyes and saw a young, slightly familiar figure walking away from a screen. There were five lines drawn by him, so there were only dozens of results filtered out by calculation.
He chose one among them and walked to the island in the middle of the lake.
No one stopped him, and countless eyes were cast on him. People didn't have high expectations for this person who dared to be the first to try, but they envied his courage.
The practitioner named Song finally came to "Senior Cheng" and bowed respectfully. Then he raised his hand, hesitated for a moment, and punched a field in his palm.
After a moment, the light suddenly rose.
Countless pairs of eyes lit up.
Success!
"The deciphering progress is 91%!"
A scholar nearby reported in a low voice. The voice was not loud, but it was clearly transmitted to people's ears in such a quiet environment.
There were water ripples on the lake surface, and the night wind blew away the dark clouds hanging over people's heads.
It really works!
This method really works!
For a moment, everyone showed expressions of joy. The scholars were pleasantly surprised by the breakthrough in deciphering, while the young ladies looked enviously at the student Song.
The first codebreaker appears!
Amidst countless envious glances, Cheng Lin also looked at that classmate Song, and then was slightly startled.
"It's him?"
Is it him?
Cheng Lin was a little surprised in his heart, but then he thought it was natural.
Cheng Lin had never seen Song Xianzhen's youthful face, but he knew him twenty years later. Yes, he was the same person twenty years later during the deduction in the Magic City.
Head of the Second Division.
Although there was a twenty-year difference in temperament and age, Cheng Lin still recognized him.
Song Xianzhen is now in his twenties. At this age, his appearance has become fixed, so Cheng Lin easily recognized him.
"The future chief executive didn't deliberately look for you, but unexpectedly, you showed up anyway."
Cheng Lin laughed.
Of course, because of his existence, it is not certain whether this classmate Song will become the chief of the division in the future, and it is also difficult to say whether he will become a ninth-level powerhouse. But at the very least, Cheng Lin is sure that he is good enough and has a lot of potential.
A person with high growth potential.
"Do you want to hook up? Make friends? Just like Chai Daofei?" Cheng Lin thought for a while and shook his head.
Forget it for now, it's not too late to get to know each other again in the future. He believes that the two of them will definitely meet again in the future.
…
Song Xianzhen's success greatly boosted morale and stimulated many people.
Especially those students who were also in the second division, such as Liang Pi, were obviously breathing heavily.
"How high is this student Song currently ranked in your college?" Cheng Lin looked at him and asked.
Then, I got an unexpected answer:
First place.
It's not surprising. What's slightly surprising is his cultivation level. According to Liang Pi, Song Xianzhen has already reached the third level at this moment.
The Second Academy of the Magic City is indeed extraordinary, the first place is a big level ahead of the other students.
…
After Song Xianzhen's breakthrough, more and more people dared to try.
The second student to enter Huxin Island to decipher was also a student from the Second Division. According to Liang Pi, he ranked fourth in the first monthly exam. Unfortunately, this student failed to replicate Song Xianzhen's success and failed.
The third was a formal lapel from Jiu Si, failed.
…
It took the thirteenth person to step forward and finally succeeded for the second time.
However, no one was surprised by this person's success.
Because he is the head of the Sixth Division.
With the success of the leader of the Sixth Division, the next one to enter was Shen Shanjing, the leader of the Ninth Division. He seemed to have calculated it in advance and walked calmly. After entering the field, he turned around and left without hesitation. Of course he succeeded.
In the next hour or so, the heads of the four departments and bureaus all went to work deciphering the code.
Even several high-level officials at the deputy director level have also tried, some have succeeded and some have failed.
This surprised Cheng Lin a little.
"It seems that this mysterious sense is not directly related to the strength of cultivation. Nowadays, those who have succeeded in deciphering are not all masters. There are also examples of failures among the fourth and fifth grade experts."
People are also aware of this. Mysterious feeling is more like "inspiration" and has little to do with cultivation. Sometimes the inspiration burst out by low-level practitioners can be surprising, but high-level monks may also have no clue.
This is a competition that has nothing to do with cultivation.
"Maybe it has something to do with real talent." Cheng Lin guessed.
By this time, he was almost certain that the He Immortal's code was simply to prevent other monks from obtaining his inheritance. Only within the Wutong Immortal Sect could there be a shortcut, or "key," to decipher it. However, even if the other monks obtained the Immortal Stone, they would not be able to decipher it. It is also difficult to decipher.
After looking at the progress, it has reached 95%.
The number of people who participated in the deciphering and succeeded reached twelve. Each person's progress was different. Except for Song Xianzhen, most of them were at a few tenths of a percent.
The night is already dark.
However, no one was sleepy at all. Under the bright lights, Cheng Lin was surprised to see someone walking out of the queue of the 10th Division.
It's Caowei.
The little girl walked into the island in the middle of the lake and entered a scene with an expressionless face.
The progress has reached 96%.
This elicited a small exclamation of surprise.
This is the second person tonight to advance the progress by 1%.
Cao Wei seemed very happy, curled up her lips, and suddenly glanced at the crowd before leaving.
"Cheng Lin, she seems to have glanced at you." Liang Pi said curiously.
"No, you are wrong." Cheng Lin smiled, and then he saw Liang Pi standing up, "You want to go too?"
Liang Pi nodded and walked up confidently.
A minute later, he returned with a dejected face.
Liang Pi was very disappointed. He turned to look at Cheng Lin and encouraged, "Why don't you try it?"
"I have no clue." Cheng Lin shook his head.
He still wanted to wait.
…
Time continues to pass.
Another two hours passed, and dozens of people tried, but most of them failed.
There are very few successful examples. Sun Xiao and others also tried, but only Xie Qingke succeeded in advancing 0.2%, and Fu Zhongting failed.
The two sisters Li Jin and Li Yu from the Sixth Academy went up once, and the elder sister also improved by 0.2%.
Cheng Lin was unfamiliar with the rest of them.
At this point, it is almost early in the morning, and the progress has finally reached 99% slowly and firmly.
However, after reaching this value, no one can successfully advance even a little bit.
It was as if we were stuck at an insurmountable bottleneck.
After doing the math, almost all of the hundreds of people present tried to outline the line, and less than one-third actually walked onto the island in the middle of the lake. Calculated based on everyone's artificial base, the success rate was less than 0.05%.
Not to mention the formal lapels, just talking about the four departments and bureaus who entered the exploration as students, almost all of them have tried to enter the island in the middle of the lake.
The only one who never got up and tried was Cheng Lin.
"You really don't want to try?"
Liang Pi provoked him more than once.
Cheng Lin just smiled.
It was finally early in the morning, the darkest hour, and anxiety began to fill the back mountain again. Professor Wu and the four chief ministers looked solemn at the lakeside. So far, there is still no successful decipherment around the world.
And it was almost dawn.
The outside world is chaotic, but here it is eerily calm.
Many people have given up completely, and the last 1% are like a line across the sky, with no hope of breakthrough.
suddenly.
Someone exclaimed from somewhere: "Look! The island is fading!"
People were startled and looked at their feet through the light and heat furnace. They were shocked to find that the island was indeed showing signs of fading, like a painting that was beginning to fade.
This is a sign that the projection is starting to disappear!
People panicked.
Is this going to disappear? So soon? But it’s still a little bit closer!
The research scholar group suddenly panicked. Professor Wu suddenly rushed out and shouted: "Is there anyone who hasn't tried it? Come forward! Give it a try! It's too late!"
The voice was loud and slightly panicked.
Echoing in the valley at dawn.
There were hundreds of practitioners, but no one responded.
Professor Wu was stunned and smiled bitterly. The disappointment was like an ivy crawling all over his tired face.
Just then.
Cheng Lin sighed inaudibly, and then he stood up...
