"What's going on with you guys? Are you being hunted by demons?"
"It looks to me like someone kicked him out."
"So, they've completed their training?"
The departure of Liu Zhibiao and the other two caused everyone to speculate, and some people tried to ask them what had happened, but the three of them were warned by Wu Jiayuan's eyes.
In fact, Wu Jiayuan's move was unnecessary.
Liu Zhibiao and the other two, who had encountered some kind of "misfortune" during training, had no intention of warning others at all.
It’s not that they are selfish, but this is training. How boring would it be to have the “surprises” encountered during training spoiled in advance?
He felt at ease and never mentioned the content of the training, leaving this uneasy feeling to the three people who would receive the next round of training.
After the three disappeared, they reappeared not long after, and in terms of time, they were almost the same as Liu Zhibiao and the others.
The ending was exactly the same, as if someone kicked him out.
At first glance, it seems that everyone's training time and duel ranking have little to do with each other. Liu Zhibiao, who ranks tenth, and the student who ranks second to last, appear at almost the same time.
"Next..."
Wu Jiayuan called out the names of three people again, this time including a heavyweight 'player', Cao Tianchong who was ranked fifth in the duel!
When Cao Tianchong was called, Lin You became more interested. He really wanted to see whether this fifth-place finisher who had challenged him many times but failed could show any difference in this training.
The facts prove it.
Not much different.
Judging by feeling, Cao Tianchong should be the one who has persisted the longest among all the people at the moment, but it is still not obvious how long he lasted, and he was bounced out like everyone else.
"Something's wrong. How come Cao Tianchong came out so soon? Is the training time fixed, or are there any specific difficulties in the training?"
Gao Jianxiang was quite surprised by Cao Tianchong's appearance.
"Anyway, we'll know when we see it."
Lin You is now more excited and wants to experience it for himself to see what kind of training is able to arrange so many people so clearly.
As if in response to his expectations, Wu Jiayuan included his name in the training list announced again.
"Lin You, Hu Yu, Gao Jianxiang."
"Hey, Lin You, let's go together. Maybe I can last longer than you." Gao Jianxiang said with a smile.
“…”
Lin You always felt something was wrong when he heard this.
After walking a few steps forward, Lin You just found a place to stop since there was no limit on the location.
On the way, Hu Yu passed him by.
As he walked past, his gaze lingered on Lin You for a second longer.
Lin You didn't even look at Hu Yu, letting the familiar white light envelop him, which meant the training had begun.
The moment he was covered by the white light, Lin You felt his body become lighter for a moment, and his consciousness became empty, as if he was flying into the clouds.
The view in front of me was like being hit by a flash bomb, a sea of white.
A few seconds later, when the flash bomb disappeared, Lin You found himself in a small space with nothing in it. Less than half a meter in front of him, a door was quietly closed.
"So, are you going in?"
Lin You muttered to himself, thinking of the training results of the students in the previous rounds, he suddenly felt that there was some crisis hidden behind this door.
"Coolie~"
The chestnut ball flew out, and Lin You immediately smiled when he saw the little guy.
Yes, we can let Chestnut Ball try to sense it, maybe we can find some secrets.
It was because Chestnut Ball was aware of Lin You's situation that he appeared on his own and was responsible for sensing it at the first moment.
"Coolie~"
With just a moment of perception, Chestnut Ball successfully captured the key information.
According to it, the flow of magic in the air behind this door seemed quite strange, as if it had become oppressive and heavy.
Lin You fell into deep thought around these clues, but before he could start thinking deeply, an invisible force suddenly formed behind him, and the door opened by itself, and he was directly "invited" in.
This is not surprising. If there were no similar enforcement mechanism, not everyone would have finished training so quickly before.
When faced with such a situation, students would probably hesitate at the door to some extent.
Not to mention the students who came in later, after seeing so many previous examples, they probably avoided this door and were forced in like Lin You.
"This is……"
Lin You stumbled and barely managed to steady his pace. When he looked up, he saw a narrow runway, which was only 100 meters long, and at the end was another door.
The surrounding background was pitch black, as if the Creator was biased and bestowed all the light on the area where the runway was located.
In the air above this runway, you can see faint blue lights floating like fireflies.
The situation couldn't be clearer. Just as Wu Jiayuan said, this is a 'game' with many levels. The runway in front of us is the first level for everyone.
As long as you reach the end of the runway, you have passed this level.
Lin You didn't step onto the runway immediately, as he didn't know what traps might be set up on the runway.
His first reaction was to mobilize his magic power, form a soul connection, and attempt to activate the card.
A faint blue light surged, and the cards continued to flip.
Three seconds, five seconds, ten seconds...
The cards were still turning over, and Lin You, who had been sweating profusely without knowing when, was gritting his teeth.
Gravity, an inexplicable gravity is restraining him.
It's not directed at me, but at the magic power!
In an instant, Lin You understood the hidden meaning in the information that Li Ziqiu had previously captured.
In this level, an invisible gravity makes the flow of magic power heavy and sluggish.
In this situation, the duelist needs to spend a lot of effort to activate magic power. Even if the magic power consumption remains unchanged, the process of activating magic power becomes extremely difficult and even painful.
It was as if lead was poured into every strand of magic power. The magic power that was originally light and comfortable has now become a burden.
After a full twenty seconds, Lin You finally completed the activation of the card, and the Phantom Beast King flashed out.
“Huff, huff.”
Lin You breathed heavily, looked at the runway in front of him, and drove the Beast King to take a tentative step forward.
call out!
The moment the Beast King stepped onto the runway, the ground suddenly shone with a faint blue light. These lights formed dozens of pairs of faint blue hands, firmly grasping its feet.
"roar!"
The Phantom Beast King roared angrily and tried to break free with brute force, but the more he struggled, the faster those hands pulled.
The ground turned into a quagmire. In less than two seconds, the Phantom Beast King fell into the dark blue quagmire alive and shattered on the spot.
This runway is clearly off-limits to monsters.
"Coolie~"
As if it didn't believe in evil, the chestnut ball suddenly flew into the runway. Before Lin You could scream, he saw the little guy flying freely above the runway.
"this……"
Lin You widened his eyes, but then thought that the chestnut ball was now in the state of an elf, and might not be restricted at all.
"However, this runway doesn't seem to be designed just to cause us trouble."
Lin You suddenly spread out his palms. The heavy feeling caused by the surge of magic power just now had disappeared, but now when he thought about it, the heavy magic power seemed to have been tempered invisibly and became more solid.
Every bit of magic power is not fixed, but has considerable potential.
As long as the potential of magic can be broadened, more magic can be stimulated.
This level should have the function of tempering magic power.
"So, this is indeed what Teacher Wu said. It is a comprehensive training for us, not just a 'game of passing levels'."
Lin You, who understood this, did not try to activate the card again, but stepped directly into the runway.
At this moment, the heavy pressure of magic that had just disappeared suddenly came back again.
