Illusionary array
At this very moment, countless people in various parts of the Hundred Battles Empire were shocked when they heard the results of the physical strength assessment.
Being the genius of the Zhao family and the son of the Zhenyuan Marquis, Zhao Feng could obtain a lot of cultivation resources. It wasn't strange for his body to be so strong.
On the other hand, Luo Zheng and Wang Nian, one from a poor family and the other from a small family, were able to suppress Zhao Feng and the Seventeenth Princess. This was obviously shocking.
For a time, the two of them attracted a lot of attention. Many people began to place bets on them.
Luo Zheng's payout for entering the Five Saints Army was 100%, while Wang Nian's payout was 60%. This made the managers of the Royal Casino feel even more pressured.
Imperial War City, deep inside the Imperial Casino.
Several managers stood in front of the golden veil and reported the betting information gathered from all over the dynasty.
…
"After the results of the physical strength assessment were announced, the bets placed on the top three people increased greatly. Especially for the top two, the amount of bets had increased by a hundred times in just an hour! Among them, the amount of bets on Wang Nian has reached one hundred and seventy million taels of gold. As for Luo Zheng, the amount of bets on him has reached ninety million taels of gold … Your Highness, please take a look and see if we should make some adjustments to the odds between the two of them. "
The person in charge of the report was very careful. One or two hundred million bets were not considered high among all the participants of the Five Beast Army assessment. To the Royal Casino, this amount was negligible.
However, Wang Nian's payout was sixty times, while Luo Zheng's payout was a hundred times. Furthermore, the amount of bets was constantly increasing. If the two of them were to obtain a good ranking in the next two foundational exams, the amount of bets would definitely skyrocket.
Once the wager reached over one billion, anyone who passed the assessment and entered the Five Beast Army would have to pay tens of billions or even hundreds of billions!
"Humph, one is a disciple of a small second-rate family, and the other is from a humble family. His cultivation is barely satisfactory. Our Royal Casino would be laughed at if we were to adjust the odds for these two kids."
"These two are of lowly birth. Even if they possess powerful physical strength, it only means that they have had some fortuitous encounters. No matter how strong one's physical strength is, if one's cultivation isn't strong enough, it's still impossible to pass the test. It's better to let them keep the odds high and attract more bets. "
"No, it's too risky."
"What other risks could there be? There's no need to be a frightened bird."
Below, the managers were divided into two factions and started arguing.
"There's no need to argue anymore. Let's go with the original plan." Behind the golden curtain, Princess Yu Ling coldly ended the argument.
She didn't take Luo Zheng and Wang Nian's actions to heart.
The next day, in the Royal Martial Arts Practice Field.
A fifty-foot tall black stone platform stood there. Thirty-six array glyphs on the stone platform flashed with a scarlet light.
This was a formation used to test one's Martial Will.
As long as one entered the array, they would be attacked by many illusions. Once they could not withstand the illusions, they would be teleported out of the array.
The longer one stayed in the array, the stronger one's Martial Heart would be, and the better one's results would be.
"The rewards this time are: first place will be a high-grade magic artifact, the Heavenly Eagle Sword. Second place will be a middle-grade magic artifact, the Golden Armor. Third place will be ten Yuan Dan pills. The rest of the top fifty will each receive one Yuan Dan pill."
The middle-aged examiner from yesterday announced the rewards. "Alright, the test will be divided into groups of thirty. Those whose numbers I call will enter the array and begin the test."
Without giving anyone any time to prepare, the test began immediately.
The thirty youths whose numbers were called walked onto the black stone platform in a single file.
Although they already knew the content of the test, most of the youths still felt uneasy and their faces were stiff.
The Martial Will test wasn't like the Strength test. Everyone had a rough idea of their own physical strength. However, the illusions produced by the array were all-encompassing. No one knew what they would encounter. Those with weak willpower might even be teleported out of the array at the first moment.
As the test began, the giant hourglass below the stone platform turned around and started counting down.
One breath, two breaths …
The youths on the black stone platform were either sitting or standing. However, without exception, all of them had their eyes tightly shut. Their faces were extremely serious and focused.
The Martial Will test didn't allow any distracting thoughts. If one's willpower wasn't strong enough, they would immediately be taken advantage of by the illusions. It was extremely dangerous.
Some powerful Array Masters could set up an Illusory Killing Array that didn't even need any killing power to kill a martial artist at the ninth level of Heaven Origin Realm.
However, this array was only used for the test. Its power was limited, and it was only used to ensure the safety of those who entered the array.
After five breaths of time, the youths in the array were sweating beads of sweat the size of soybeans on their foreheads. Their faces started to distort.
"Ah!"
Suddenly, one of the youths let out a scream and was teleported out of the array in an instant.
This youth's clothes were already drenched. His entire body was trembling non-stop, as if he had encountered something extremely terrifying.
Immediately after, another eight youths were teleported out as well. Their faces were all pale.
There were actually nine youths who couldn't even last ten breaths of time. Seeing this situation, the rest of the youths who were waiting for the test kept quiet out of fear.
After that, the youths on the black stone platform were like an infectious disease. People kept getting teleported out of the array. After thirty breaths of time, there were only three youths left on the black stone platform.
