Chapter 11: Betting
"It's a pity that my consciousness energy is too weak, if I can release it, everything will be simple, as long as I sweep around, all the illusions can be hidden. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info" Chu Yuan thought with some pity, "What should I do now?" Since there are illusions all around, and the so-called towers are also illusions, it is impossible to enter them, what will be the purpose of this test?"
Just when Chu Yuan was deep in thought, the situation outside also changed somewhat. Less than an hour after entering the second stage, the number of eliminated people has reached seven, and at this time, these people are standing beside Chen Lu and the others with their heads down, all of them are silent.
"Waste is waste, the happiest thing to jump before the test, I only lasted for more than three hours, let me get aside, don't say that I taught it, shame!" Chen Lu said sarcastically.
"Forget Senior Brother Chen, they are still children after all, so why bother to be like them. Senior Brother Lan persuaded on the side, and then turned to a few people, "I hope you can remember the lessons of this test, the most important thing in cultivation is to cultivate the mind, without a strong and firm Dao heart, you don't have to wait for others to defeat you, you yourself will be lost to everyone sooner or later, so you can do it yourself." ”
Leng Yunfei listened to it quite unpleasantly, after all, his level back then was about the same as that of several people, and the words of the two of them had a hint of insinuation in his ears. However, let him directly confront the blue-shirted youth, but he didn't dare. This blue-shirted young man's name is Lan Yuchen, he is the eldest disciple of Deputy Head Li, don't look at his appearance seems to be gentle, but he is actually a very violent man, his strength is second only to Senior Brother Yun Feifei in their current session, even among the disciples of recent generations, he is also in the forefront.
He turned his head depressedly, just in time to see Chu Yuan, who seemed to be in a trance, in a daze there, and thought of Chen Lu's previous evaluation, and a smile jumped on his face.
"Oh, it seems that someone praised this kid like a flower just now, why does it seem to me that this kid is about to die, what do you say, Senior Brother Chen. Leng Yunfei deliberately bit the last three words.
"I don't know how long he will last, but the total distance he has traveled so far is three hundred and fifty-four miles, almost twice as many as you did back then, and I don't know how you feel. Chen Lu shot back unceremoniously.
"Hmph, that can only mean that he has a good physique, I think four or five hours with his willpower is the limit, wait and see. ”
"Oh, then how about you and I make a bet, I won't bully you, I can block him to hold on for seven hours, bet two hundred spars, how about it, dare not." ”
Leng Yunfei didn't expect the other party to defeat him, his face changed for a while, two hundred spars were not a small amount after all, you must know that even the spars that these inner disciples could receive every month were only thirty, which was far from meeting the needs of cultivation. The more than 300 spars he had saved were saved by him after several months of sect missions and hunting fierce beasts for sale, and it was really difficult for him to take out more than half of them as a bet.
But when he saw the banter in the other party's eyes, his reason was immediately replaced by anger, "Okay, bet, bet, I don't believe this kid has this ability, I'll see what he can do to hold on to these seven hours." ”
At this time, Chu Yuan had no idea that he had unknowingly become someone else's gambling tool, and he was still immersed in his own world. Since he knew that his surroundings were all illusions, his mentality had changed radically, and the surrounding scenery was no longer a lifeless sandstone Gobi in his eyes, but had become some novel and interesting toys, which filled him with a deep curiosity.
This illusion was so incredible to a mortal like him, that the senses of sight, taste, smell, touch, and hearing had all been deceived, and it was a perfect deception, and he would not have thought of this aspect if he hadn't discovered a flaw in his meditation.
"What is it that is going to be tested with so much effort, if it is just to test physical strength and perseverance, do you need to use such a magical thing, or are these methods just ordinary in the eyes of the body refiners?" Chu Yuan silently speculated in his heart for a while, but he couldn't figure out what to do, after all, the gap between the mortal world he understood and the world of monks was too big, and many things were simply incomprehensible if he looked at them from the eyes of mortals.
"Forget it, whatever he is, if I can't guess it, I'll just react normally. Since it is impossible for everyone to reach the tower, it is nothing more than the person who persists for a long time or travels a long distance wins, who will I be afraid of in these two aspects, and if there is a reward, then take it. Chu Yuan knew that he had no foundation so far when he first entered the cultivation world, and any possible advantage was worth his efforts to strive for, not to mention that the more excellent his performance was, the more likely he was to be valued, and the more resources would be tilted towards him, this was the survival rule of the low-level disciples in the cultivation sect. If you are strong, then show your strength so that it is valuable. As for low-key, that's something that only those who are strong enough or have a lot of money to worry about.
After figuring out everything, Chu Yuan jumped up from the ground, patted the floating soil on his body, and looked at the tower in the distance with interest. If a quarter of an hour ago he had been in the mood to go to war, then he would have almost assumed that he had come for an outing.
The sun was still so hot, and the air was still hot, but when he thought that these were illusions, everything seemed not to be scary at all, but rather to savor the subtle differences between illusion and reality.
This time, he didn't raise his speed so high again, but only used four or five points of strength, and the direction was no longer straight towards the tower, but completely depending on his mood. If any interesting visions caught his attention, he would have to pause for a moment to take a closer look at them.
"No matter how you look at it, it still feels amazing, this ability to deceive the senses. If I encounter an opponent with this kind of means in the future, it will be really troublesome, and if I am not careful, I will be killed by the other party unconsciously, how should I deal with it?" Chu Yuan exclaimed while falling into thought again.
At this time, outside the illusion realm, Leng Yunfei's face was already slightly darkened, "This damn kid, obviously looks like he is in a trance, and he can't even figure out the direction, how can he hold on for so long, seeing that the second stage is about to end, he is still moving forward alive, is this time really going to let Chen Lu, the ugly man with a scarface, say yes?"
As time passed, more and more people could not bear the bad weather and mental exhaustion and chose to give up, and only seven people were left in the field as the hour approached and continued.
Lan Yuchen stared at the spell projection tightly, a smile appeared on his face, and he said to Yun Feifei: "It seems that this group of teenagers seems to be a little bit stronger than our batch, so far there are still seven people who can hold on, I remember that only three of us seemed to have come this far." ”
"That's true, at that time, only you, me, and Senior Sister Xiao Nan were left, by the way, speaking of Senior Sister Xiao, why didn't she come over today, is there something?" Yun Feifei asked.
Lan Yuchen smiled a little embarrassedly, "Since she lost to me in the last battle, she suddenly announced that she was going to retreat and cultivate, and there is still no news of her exit, it seems that she may have to break through to the next small realm in one breath before she appears." ”
"My sister's temperament is like this, she was not convinced by me back then, and challenged me twelve times in a row, until I was two levels higher than her, and she knew that there was no hope of winning before she gave up. But you have to be careful, she will definitely come to the door to challenge you when she goes out again, I guess you have some troubles, hahahaha......" The senior brother said gloatingly.
Lan Yuchen held his forehead with a headache, "Don't mention this matter, it's a bit of a headache to think about, let's see the performance of the junior disciples." Listening to Senior Brother Chen's meaning, this Chu Yuan, Zhou Yuliang, and Zhou Ziyun seem to be the three most prominent people in this batch, Senior Brother, you have a unique vision, what do you think?"
"Zhou Yuliang and Zhou Ziyun are from a family of eunuchs, and the other is from a martial arts family, both of them have been guided by famous teachers since they were children, and they are extraordinary and self-reliant, it is really good to reach this point, but it is also natural. ”
"As for this Chu Yuan, Chen Lu said that he was an orphan, his parents died early, and he wandered outside at a very young age, so my guess just now that he might be taking pills to improve his strength seems to be a bit biased. At a young age, he can struggle alone for several years, and he can also seize the opportunity to enter the refining door, and his mental perseverance is not an ordinary person, although he may have a sense of insecurity in his heart and want to work hard to improve his strength, but he will generally choose rational means and will not use this method of endless troubles. What's more, he has no background, although those pills that improve his strength have many side effects, they are not something that can be obtained casually, so it seems that this junior brother may also have a little secret of his own, and maybe he will be the most extraordinary of the three. ”
Yun Feifei's opinion is quite correct, but no matter how much he overestimates Chu Yuan, he would not have thought that the other party might be a genius-level person who has already drawn qi into his body to exercise his body before the spiritual root is opened, otherwise, I don't know how he will feel.
"What does Senior Brother think of his performance at this time, since he resumed from his last meditation, his behavior seems to have become a little weird, and the path forward is also chaotic, and occasionally a daze is the time for a pillar of incense, could it be that he has discovered something?" Lan Yuchen wondered.
"Not necessarily, I remember that when I faced the tower that couldn't get close, I also had a lot of strange ideas, and I think he might have tried to do some crooked ways to break the game. Yun Feifei shook his head and smiled, seemingly disdainful of Chu Yuan's approach.
