"So why are we taking part in this challenge, and what does it mean for us?"

Although Guo Chen's analysis is very reasonable, Guan Ying still feels that there are some problems, now that the class assignment has been completed, what is the benefit of them going to the ninth layer earlier?

"I don't know about this, but the fact that those two people didn't follow just now proves that my guess is correct, anyway, we will definitely not lose if we go to the ninth floor faster. ”

Just when everyone was discussing this matter, Jiang Xueyan suddenly said with some doubts: "Strange, why did you walk for so long and not reach the next floor?"

"It's just a spatial rift, we've already passed through six space-time rifts, and we've been going around in circles between the second and third layers. ”

When Guo Chen said this, everyone began to stare at him in a daze, hearing what he meant, he had already discovered this matter.

At this time, the two people on the ninth floor were already about to go crazy, and now Guo Chen found out about this, but he didn't take any measures, indicating that he was fighting back against Qi Tong.

The space-time rift is exactly what Qi Tong casts, and this is exactly the test of the second level, which requires the students to find a way to avoid the space-time rift and enter the third layer.

Now he has seen this, but he has not taken any measures, he is just going around in circles over and over again, there is only one possibility, that is, he wants Qi Tong to lift the space-time rift by himself.

If that's the case, then it proves that he already knows that someone is watching them, otherwise how could he just waste his time here in circles?

"What the hell do you mean, we were still racing against time just now, and now we are wasting time in circles, do you want us to hurry up to the ninth floor?"

After walking more than ten times, Guan Ying finally couldn't help it, stopped her steps, and began to question Guo Chen.

"I can't tell you right now, but I'll tell you when we get to the ninth floor. ”

He glanced at Guan Ying and said coldly, while not stopping and continuing to circle the stairs.

"It can't go on like this, his spiritual pupil is still in an open state, and his spiritual power is also consuming, if you can't let him hurry up to Ling Yunhao......"

Lin Qing really couldn't stand it, he and Ling Yunhao both had spirit pupils, and if they wanted to investigate the communication between the two of them in the illusion technique, it was only possible when the two of them had an illusion technique duel.

If his spiritual power was exhausted now, there would be no way to have an illusion duel with Ling Yunhao in the future, and Lin Qing would have no way to take the opportunity to check the communication between the two of them.

"This kid is forcing me to cancel the space-time rift. ”

Qi Tong has already seen through his purpose, but with Qi Tong's character, it is absolutely impossible to follow his mind like this, and he will definitely find a way to make him give up.

In such a silent duel, the five freshmen have gone through hundreds of cycles, so to speak, until now, there are only two people, Shen Xuan and Guo Chen.

Guan Ying had already stopped moving when he questioned him before, and then Jiang Xueyan, who had no spiritual power, couldn't hold on, and stopped shortly after Guan Ying stopped, and Xu Yang couldn't hold on not long ago, so he stopped in place.

"Your spiritual power is fine, right?"

Shen Xuan glanced at Guo Chen with concern, he had already sensed the disorder of Guo Chen's spiritual power.

"I can go two more times at most, I won't be able to open the spirit pupil again, it seems that I made a mistake, I'll use the illusion technique to tell you what I think of later, but that will overdraw my spiritual power, and I won't be able to use the spirit pupil again for three days." ”

Shen Xuan was stunned for a moment when he heard this, Guo Chen felt so deliberate when he said these words, but he was indeed answering Shen Xuan's question, and there seemed to be no problem.

"You lost, and you lost completely, what he said was the truth, you can only send him directly to Ling Yunhao's layer now. ”

In the ninth floor of the tower, Lin Qing unceremoniously began to taunt Qi Tong, to be honest, she was really happy to see Qi Tong suffer such a big loss.

"Or if you don't want to, we'll be busy today, and he will definitely not be able to hold on to Ling Yunhao's level. ”

"This kid, if he is really the inheritor of the Nightmare Pupil, I must ......"

He couldn't think of what to do with Guo Chen for a while, and he stopped halfway through speaking, and with a wave of his left hand, the space-time rift between the second and third layers changed.

The corners of Guo Chen's mouth on the stairs rose slightly, sat directly on the stairs, and said to Shen Xuan: "Go and call them over, we are going to the next floor." ”

Although Shen Xuan was puzzled, he didn't ask, after all, he had been with Guo Chen for so long, and he knew the principles of his work, so he turned around and brought the other three over.

Then the three of them passed through the space-time crack together, and successfully came to the next layer, as for which layer it was, only the two of the ninth layer, and Ling Yunhao in front of the five freshmen knew.

"Yes, it's coming pretty fast. ”

Ling Yunhao saw the five people coming here, and said, although it took a lot of time just now, compared to the previous freshmen, the five of them were still much faster.

"yes, I just don't know if it's an illusion or a reality right now. ”

A flame ignited on the Red Void Soul Sword in Guo Chen's hand, and the pupil of his left eye flashed with purple light, and fine runes immediately appeared on the Red Void Soul Sword, and a sword pattern also appeared in the pupil of his left eye.

At the same time, Lin Qing, who was staying in the ninth layer, had also released his illusion technique, trying to intervene in the confrontation between the two of them.

Ling Yunhao and Guo Chen instantly sensed that someone was trying to intervene in the illusion realm, and immediately joined forces to stop it, but the gap between the spiritual power of the two and Lin Qing was too big, and Guo Chen's spiritual power consumption was too much, and it was not certain who would win and who would lose this time.

Qi Tong was very anxious now, wanting to know what was happening in the illusion, but Lin Qing didn't react for a long time, and he didn't project the situation in the illusion as he said before.

Just when he was struggling with whether to ask, Lin Qing finally made a move, suddenly fell to the ground, fainted, and startled Qi Tong.

Not only Lin Qing, but Guo Chen and Ling Yunhao had also fallen into a coma, but the other four freshmen who had fallen into the illusion just now had already escaped from the illusion.

The three of them cast the illusion at the same time, and created a fantasy space that restrained each other by mistake, and the souls of the three were trapped in the illusion at this time.

"Director Lin, it's you, except for you, no one can intervene in the illusion game between the two of us. ”

Ling Yunhao shouted in the illusion space, trying to make Lin Qing appear, after all, to remove the illusion space, the three of them needed to remove the illusion at the same time.

Lin Qing's figure appeared in front of the two and said, "That's right, it's me." ”

"If there is anything to say when we leave the illusion, the three of us can disarm the illusion at the same time to disarm the illusion, so let's get ready to start." ”

Ling Yunhao then asked the two of them to disarm the illusion technique, but unexpectedly, Guo Chen, who had not spoken on the side, suddenly spoke.

"I'm sorry, I don't have spiritual power anymore, and I can't control my illusion skills, it's just because the illusion skills of the two of you are intertwined, preventing my illusion skills from dissipating. ”

"So what if you can't disarm the illusion, even if we can, it's useless. ”

Now that Lin Qing has made up his mind, after going out, he will definitely find a way to let Qi Tong stay in the illusion realm for a few days, if he compromises earlier, he will not let Guo Chen's spiritual power consume so much, let alone the current situation.

"Wait for my spiritual power to recover somewhat, this is the only way to do it at the moment, but I need some time. ”

Guo Chen sighed, although he had the ability to circulate autonomously, but for the illusion skills of the three of them to be lifted, it would consume a lot of spiritual power, and it would take a while to accumulate spiritual power.

"Then since we can't get out of here, let me take a look at your pupils. ”

Anyway, without waiting for Guo Chen and Ling Yunhao to reflect, they have already begun to investigate the memories of the two, in the illusion space, both of them are in the state of soul bodies, and there is no way to stop them.

Especially Guo Chen, his spiritual power has been exhausted and he is completely unable to resist, but this does not mean that he will obediently let Lin Qing check his memory.

Although he no longer had spiritual power in his body, it didn't mean that he didn't have spiritual power that could be mobilized, and the Red Void Soul Sword in his hand was thrown out, slashing Lin Qing's hands that stretched out to the two of them.

"How is it possible, how can it be possible to use spiritual weapons to hurt people in the illusion?"

Lin Qing looked at her hands in disbelief, as the number one illusion master in the mainland, she had never known that she could use spirit weapons to hurt people in the illusion.

"I'm sorry, but this weapon in my hand can hurt people in the illusion. ”

He had known that someone might use the illusion to peek into their memories, and he was prepared to deal with it.

He used the Nightmare Pupil in advance to activate the soul-striking effect of the Red Void Soul Sword, so that it had the ability to directly hit the soul, and in the illusion space, only the soul could shoot at him, and through the soul-striking effect, it could most effectively prevent others from checking his memory.

"I'm the strongest here at the moment, I hope you two don't act rashly, otherwise I can directly wipe out your souls and leave the illusion in this way. ”

As he spoke, he put away the Red Void Soul Sword, he was just bluffing just now, with the spiritual power he had just injected, he could only release one attack.

Lin Qing withdrew her hands and said, "Very good, you are really talented." ”

"Then now I'll introduce myself, my name is Lin Qing, I am one of the two directors of the Nine Star Academy, I was the one who tried to spy on your memory a few days ago, and I was the one who controlled the Four Elephants Rainbow Dragon yesterday. ”

"Why are you peeking into my memory, is there anything in my memory that is worth your peeping?"

Although Guo Chen knew the answer, he absolutely couldn't admit it, he had to pretend not to know about the Nightmare Pupil, only in this way could the Nine Star Academy's suspicions about him disappear.

"No, at least I don't think so, but the elders and the surnamed Qi don't believe it, so I can't help it, who won't let my position let them. ”

The corners of Lin Qing's mouth showed a wry smile, then looked at the two people in front of him, and said, "I believe in you, your spirit pupil effect can only be said to be ordinary, it can't be that spirit pupil." ”

Suddenly, the three of them frowned at the same time, as they sensed that someone was trying to break into the illusion space.

"Is there still a master of illusion skills of this level in the Nine Star Academy?"

Ling Yunhao asked very suspiciously, because he could feel that the person who was trying to break into the illusion space through the illusion technique was even stronger than Guo Chen's illusion technique.

"No, this is not from our Nine Star Academy, it should be from outside, but this level of illusion skill master is rare on the mainland. ”

Lin Qing shook his head, because the improvement of illusion skills is very difficult, and it has almost no effect in the early stage, so on the mainland, there are actually not many people who specialize in illusion skills, and there are not many who can be called masters, and now the level of Ling Yunhao and Guo Chen has actually surpassed most of the so-called illusion masters.
