Everyone closely followed He Yue's pace and began to shuttle through the dense forest, but Zhan Chen discovered a strange phenomenon. Her pace seemed to be gradually accelerating. At first, everyone didn't feel anything, but later, everyone felt
There was something unusual, because one-third of the more than 300 contestants clearly found it difficult to follow her footsteps.
Finally, a beautiful woman asked loudly: "Elder He, can you slow down your pace? We can't keep up."
He Yue had no intention of slowing down at all, but said: "You just need to keep up with my pace. In fact, the assessment has just started. By the way, if you can't keep up with my speed, then
You will be eliminated before you reach the location of the first exam."
After listening to her words, everyone suddenly understood and couldn't help but speed up their pace. However, He Yue's speed was still accelerating. More and more people were left behind. The contestants who were lagging behind were all working hard to move forward.
He rushed, but he could only watch helplessly as Ouyang Hui's shadow gradually shrank, and finally disappeared deep into the dense forest.
They had no choice but to fly high into the sky, trying to find the traces of He Yue and other contestants from a high altitude. However, this was just a waste of time, because when they were doing these things, He Yue's speed accelerated again.
Zhan Chen, Lin Mufeng and other male cultivators, with their Yuan Shen realm cultivation, were naturally far ahead and always in the first echelon. About half an hour later, Zhan Chen saw that the trees in front of him were becoming increasingly sparse.
The field of vision has also become wider, and they are rushing out of the dense forest.
He Yue's speed did not slow down, and he moved rapidly in one direction. After another hour or so, Zhan Chen saw from a distance that another tall building appeared in his field of vision, and he vaguely sensed their purpose.
The land may be coming soon.
The outline of the building was revealed. It was a nine-story tower with a height of 100 feet, and the height of each floor was more than 30 meters.
When He Yue came to the tower, he stopped as expected. Everyone was relieved and stopped running. Zhan Chen looked back and saw that of the more than 300 people who had arrived here, there were only about 150 people left.
, that is to say, half of the contestants have fallen behind during the run just now, and these people may have missed the first test. He couldn't help but shudder, and suddenly felt as sad as a dead rabbit.
At this time, I only heard He Yue say: "Everyone, you will start to participate in the first level of selection. As you can see, the tower behind me is the location of the exam. Next, you have to
Enter this high tower and reach the top within half an hour. Those who do not arrive within the specified time will be eliminated."
"What is inside this tower?" someone asked.
He Yue looked at her, showed a meaningful smile, and said: "You will know when you go in." Obviously she was unwilling to reveal more information. This made everyone feel resentful, and the uneasiness in their hearts was even more uncontrollable.
.
Someone else asked: "So those who were left behind just now were eliminated? If they arrived here later, will they be disqualified?"
He Yue replied: "As long as I can arrive before you enter the tower, it's not too late. After all, the first exam is just starting now, isn't it?" She turned her head and faced the two women behind her who were guarding the tower.
The disciple said: "Open the door of the Magic Sound Tower."
"Yes!" The two female disciples answered while opening the door mechanism. With a rumble, the door was opened.
Zhan Chen looked in the direction of the gate, but what he saw was just a dark patch. To put it bluntly, he couldn't see anything. The dark and deep gate, plus the weird "Magic Sound Tower"
The name and everything make people feel mysterious and terrifying.
"Okay, you can go in. When you reach the top of the tower, there will be an invigilator to judge who is qualified." He Yue said. After she finished speaking, everyone still stayed where they were. It seemed that no one dared to enter the magic first.
In the sound tower.
Seeing this, He Yue showed a playful smile and said: "I didn't expect you to be quite humble. I want to remind you that the moment the door opened, the timer started and you only have half an hour to arrive.
Top of the tower!”
Only then did everyone suddenly realize that they were rushing towards the gate. Zhan Chen also followed everyone into the gate. He only felt that his eyes were blurred, and the surrounding scenery changed dramatically. The entrance behind him disappeared.
, the people around also disappeared, there was nothing around, it was pitch black, there was only a long step under the feet, stretching up and down towards the top of the tower, as if there was no end.
Zhan Chen saw all this not with his naked eyes, but with his immortal consciousness, because the light around him had completely disappeared, even with the power of Zhan Chen's Yuan Shen, a powerful saint outside the realm.
With eyesight, he can only see things three meters around him, and he cannot see things further away. However, in this case, the cultivator's immortal consciousness plays a big role and can clearly identify the surrounding terrain.
.
Looking at everything around him, Zhan Chen thought: "What's going on? Where are Lin Mufeng and the others? It seems that I was transported to an independent space. If my guess is correct, then the others are now with
My situation should be similar, as long as this
Climbing the stairs all the way up, I can reach the top of the tower. However, since the Magic Sound Tower has its own space, the distance to the top of the tower is unknown. He Yue just said that we only have half an hour, so
It seems that I have to start moving forward immediately."
Thinking of this, Zhan Chen no longer hesitated, stepped forward, stepped on the stairs, and rushed upward.
"Ding Bell - Ding Bell -" At this moment, more than one such sound sounded around him, as if the breeze was blowing wind chimes, but these sounds were mixed together and appeared chaotic, without any rhythm at all, and
It got louder and louder, echoing in Zhan Chen's ears, making people feel upset and dizzy.
Zhan Chen cursed secretly in his heart: "The Qin Xiao Sect really likes to work on the sound, but they can use this method to torture people."
Suddenly, Zhan Chen's right ear twitched, and he felt a threat coming towards him, so he subconsciously took a step back. Sure enough, he saw an invisible wind blade coming from his right side, almost close to him.
His nose brushed against it. The power of this move was not great, it was only equivalent to a blow from an ordinary high-level immortal cultivator, but it was so startling that Zhan Chen broke out in a cold sweat.
"It was so dangerous, I was almost hit by the wind blade. Various bell tones were playing in the corridor, which distracted me, and the surroundings were pitch black. The wind blade was invisible and colorless, and mixed with the...
The sound of the bell makes it difficult for people to guard against it. Fortunately, my immortal consciousness is extremely powerful and I can detect the incoming attack in advance. After breaking through the power saint, I also gained the innate magical power 'True Listening' similar to that of a monster, so I can avoid it.
Fire that blow just now."
The so-called "True Listening" is what Zhan Chen later called the magical power he obtained. During the last battle between the humans and the monsters in Cangyue City, he relied on this magical power to anticipate the thunderous attacks of the monsters in advance, thus
Play your opponent in the palm of your hand.
Just now, although the ringing in the corridor was chaotic, Zhan Chen still used his extraordinary ear power to hear the sound of the wind blade attack, so he was able to dodge in time.
"The wind blades in this corridor are not very powerful. Even if the contestants are attacked, they will only be injured at most and will not be life-threatening. The purpose of their existence is probably to slow down our progress." Zhan Chen immediately thought of this.
The purpose of the agency.
At the same time, he began to understand a little bit about what this exam was testing them. If following He Yue to the Magic Sound Tower was to test the candidates' cultivation, then this level would test something even more
Many. You have to deal with such traps in the dark, and at the same time consider
It tests the practitioner's soul power, concentration and reaction ability. At the same time, candidates who have some understanding of the mysteries of sound will have an advantage, because they have strong ability to identify sounds and can easily detect the mixed ringtones.
He could easily dodge the sound of the wind blade attack.
"These bells and wind blades can't stop me yet, I have to move forward faster!" After understanding the mechanisms here, the fear in Zhan Chen's heart disappeared. He began to speed up, using his hearing that was far superior to the same level,
Easily dodging one attack after another, he moved faster and faster, and it didn't take long before he rushed through the exit of the last floor.
At nine minutes and twenty-four seconds, Zhan Chen calculated the time it took him to clear the level, and then started to look around. He was surprised to find that there were already five people in the room, and none of these five people were men. They were all women.
Zhan Chen focused his eyes on one of the female cultivators wearing an indigo skirt, because he felt that the other woman's body exuded a unique aura, as if she had merged with the air. She was clearly standing there.
But it gives people the illusion that she doesn't exist at all.
"So powerful, who is that woman?!" Zhan Chen was secretly shocked. This was a manifestation of his profound understanding of the artistic conception of immortality.
As if aware of Zhan Chen's gaze, the woman also turned her head to look at Zhan Chen and smiled at him, with a hint of amusement in her smile.
Zhan Chen realized his gaffe and quickly looked away. Just when he was embarrassed, a familiar figure appeared at the door - Lin Mufeng, who was the sixth person to arrive.
Lin Mufeng was stunned for a moment when he saw Zhan Chen, and then shouted happily: "Brother Zhan, I didn't expect that you were one step ahead of me."
This sentence also solved the problem for Zhan Chen. Zhan Chen immediately greeted him very happily and said with a smile: "I was just lucky, but fortunately we both passed the first level."
"Yes, it's worth celebrating."
"Haha, it's too early to talk about celebrating now. Let's wait until we all become disciples of the Qinxiao Sect."
"Both of us will definitely pass the test." Lin Mufeng said with a smile.
"Well, yes, we must pass!" Zhan Chen's eyes flashed with determination.
