(); The light bridge suddenly lit up, then calmed down, and brought the two of them into the illusion world.

When Chang Ming raised his eyes, there was no one else around, only a familiar question.

It's so inhumane, I actually took the second exam, and I started from the first question.

But there are also advantages to doing it from scratch and there is an adaptation process. Now this kind of question is not difficult for Chang Ming, and according to the way last time, he completed it quickly. The prompt sounded, and he passed the first level and entered the second level.

The last time he passed the first three levels, he struggled a bit and ended up stumped in the fourth. He remembered very well that the method of the fourth level was no different, purely because he was not calculating enough to complete it within the allotted time.

This time, his mental strength has improved a lot compared to the last time, and the fourth level can no longer stump him, and he passed it easily.

At the beginning of the fifth level, the difficulty increased sharply, and Chang Ming mobilized all his mental power and concentrated on calculating. The prescribed time for this level is also five minutes, and it took Chang Ming four and a half minutes to finish answering the question.

When the prompt sounded, he breathed a sigh of relief and touched the corner of his forehead. In just a few minutes, some beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, which showed that his mental power was very drained!

After passing the fifth level, I got 50% of the permissions, which has already exceeded the last time.

When Chang Ming came out, he glanced back. There was no one two steps behind him, but there was a cloud of light and shadow that kept flickering, as if it was moving violently at some point.

That should be Lu Qianxue. She was still struggling in the third level......

Beforehand, Chang Ming once wanted to tell Lu Qianxue about his customs clearance experience. was rejected by the other party.

As a geographer, Lu Qianxue naturally has her own pride. Moreover, these tests greatly stimulated her curiosity as a mechanic, and she had to try to see where she could go by her own ability.

Now it seems that her progress is still significantly inferior to Chang Ming......

Chang Ming turned his head, looked ahead, and took a deep breath.

It took so long for the fifth level to show the difficulty of the sixth level!

He didn't rush forward, but hung his head. Silently restore mental power to a full level.

Ten minutes later. He lifted his eyes again and took a step forward.

The difficulty of the sixth level has really increased again.

If the difficulty of the first four is gradual, starting from the fifth level, it can almost be regarded as doubled.

A huge amount of data swept through Chang Ming's brain. Calculate quickly and simplify. into a simpler stream of data.

But there's so much data. Chang Ming's brain gradually became a little overloaded. Sweat broke out from his forehead again, glistening in the flowing light.

He stood in front of him, his eyes empty. There's nothing in my head but data.

A drop of sweat dripped from the corner of his forehead, across his cheek, and down to his jaw. Then, another drop of sweat slid down the same trajectory and mixed with the previous one. Large drops of sweat fell from the chin one by one, dripping onto the ground, and disappeared before they could form wet stains.

Chang Ming didn't notice this at all, he was engrossed in thinking, desperately trying to come to a final conclusion!

The river of data rushed in his mind, like stardust one by one, shining and merging to form larger particles.

Finally, a planet looms in his mind, that is his final destination, calculate the final result!

Chang Ming's eyes widened, looking at the empty space where no one was around, trying to see the true shape of the planet.

It was presented in front of Chang Ming, becoming clearer and clearer......

Then, a cold prompt sounded: "Five minutes is up, the customs clearance failed." ”

The sound disappeared, the light flashed, and all the lines disappeared from Chang Ming's face, and he returned to the light bridge.

Failed to clear the level!

But Chang Ming still didn't move, he stood in place in a daze, unable to pull out of his thoughts. After a moment, his eyes gradually returned to focus, and regret emerged.

Just one step away!

No, do it again!

In fact, Chang Ming could forcibly increase his mental power level as long as he used the Refreshment Order. As you increase your level by one level, your computing power will also increase, so it will certainly not be difficult to pass this level.

But Chang Ming didn't do that.

The refreshment order is always an external object, and this test is obviously also to hone oneself, and to use external force is to enter the evil path.

After another ten minutes, he regained his mental strength to full strength again and started the level again.

Five minutes later, he was forcibly withdrawn and was still one step away!

The final result was already looming in front of him, but he couldn't take a step forward. It was a very bad feeling...... Just take one step further and he'll be done!

He tried a third and a fourth time......

Unconsciously, he fell into the state that Li Yuanfei was in at the beginning. His eyes were empty and persistent, and the clothes on his body were already soaked with sweat and dried by body temperature.

Chang Ming's face gradually turned pale, which was a symbol of the loss of spiritual power.

Although every time he tries to clear the level, he will first recover his full mental strength before making a new attempt. But every time he fails, his mental power will be drained.

This will invisibly cause damage to his mental power, and if it continues, it is not impossible to die of exhaustion like this.

Chang Ming himself was completely unaware. In the sixth test, he seemed to be only a little short of passing every time. This carrot hanging in front of his eyes made him run endlessly, as if he were tireless!

At this time, behind Chang Ming, Lu Qianxue was still stuck in the third level and did not come out for a long time. In other words, no one could come over and pull Chang Ming out, just like when he forcibly pulled out Li Yuanfei.

Where no one could see, Chang Ming's face became more and more pale, but his eyes became darker and darker, and the whole person seemed to be obsessed with it.

At this moment, a phantus shadow loomed on the bridge of light, dimly illuminated by the hazy light, as if it did not exist.

The phantom looked down at the bridge of light, the corners of his mouth curled. There was a faint smile.

Chang Ming, can you break free from the magic of the trick on your own?

Yes, tricks are magical, too. It will endlessly absorb all the enthusiasm and energy of people, and only those who can balance it on their own can persevere for a long time until they reach the highest peak.

Chang Ming, do you have this ability?

Chang Ming calculated intently, the final result of the sixth level seemed to be close at hand, but it was actually out of reach. No matter how hard he tries, he can't reach the final shore. And the illusion of "only one step away" firmly trapped him. Let him involuntarily repeat it over and over again.

Another failure.

Chang Ming was once again expelled from the illusion. Stood on the light bridge.

Without hesitation, he took out a control gem and used it to restore his mental power.

In fact, as he became more familiar with the Divine Pattern, he now regained his mental power. There's no need to control the gems anymore. But this time. He took it out reflexively. Because in addition to calculating and thinking. There was no room for anything else in his head.

This control gem is spare, it doesn't fit in the space, it just carries it casually in your pocket. Chang Ming absentmindedly put his hand in his pocket. Fingertips suddenly touched a smooth surface.

He was stunned for a moment, and took the item out along with the Control Gem.

It was a fist-sized ball with a transparent crystal ball on the outside and an accessory set inlaid on the inside. In the solid elements of the alien beast's bones, a few dull purple crystals were barely coalesced.

This is the same accessory set that stores the Ray Soul Crystal!

As soon as Chang Ming saw it, he immediately came to his senses, and suddenly snapped and slapped himself.

Bastard, what are you here for? Why did you get into the horns?!

He didn't come to the Crystal Ruins to explore the secrets of the Eternal Age, but simply to find a way to save Ash!

It's dizzy!

Chang Ming woke up at this time, and his mind immediately cleared. He settled down, recalled the calculation process just now, and immediately wiped a cold sweat, and his heart palpitated.

If he was really "only one step away", with his efforts so many times, he would have been able to touch the edge a long time ago! But the fact is that he tried repeatedly, and that step was always so far, not farther, but not closer!

What does this mean?

It shows that this question is beyond his ability!

The so-called "only one step away" is just an illusion!

He took a deep breath, and then he felt a dizziness in his head and a faint throbbing pain in his temples. This feeling is not unfamiliar to him at all, it is a symbol of mental damage!

No, we can't fall here......

Chang Ming did not hesitate to grasp the control gem and did not look forward again.

He sat down cross-legged, carefully experiencing the lines in the control gem, and his spiritual power circulated circle by circle with the direction of the lines.

When he was recovering his mental strength just now, his mind was also thinking about the data in the level, and he was distracted, and his brain never stopped. At this time, those data were still entangled with his brain, but Chang Ming forcibly excluded them.

Gradually, there was less and less data left, and the distracting thoughts in Chang Ming's heart were eliminated little by little.

This one, his heart is clear, there are no levels, no data, no calculations, and even no worries about Ash.

He immersed himself wholeheartedly in his spiritual power, letting it circulate round and round.

Fortunately, he stopped in time, and the degree of mental damage was not too deep. Every cycle of spiritual power is a nourishment. Finally, he opened his eyes, his eyes shining brightly, and his face was completely ruddy again.

He's fully recovered!

He took another step forward, and the prompt sounded, "Do you want to start the sixth level test?"

A light screen in front of you faintly flashed to confirm, or reject.

Chang Ming chose to refuse without hesitation.

At this time, the dazzling white light on the light bridge flashed, and when the silence was restored, the scenery around Chang Ming had completely changed

A familiar scene.

The moment he refused the sixth level test, he entered Zhu Yan City again!(To be continued......)
