"This stage is a test of one's mental state!"
Li Ziqi explained.
"The reflected damage should be an illusion. If you think it's there, it's there. If you think it's not, it's not there."
"Ah?"
The papaya girl had a dazed look on her face, not understanding.
"I've only read a few books. After all, there are too few books regarding mental states."
Li Ziqi deliberated over her words.
"Teacher Sun didn't die!"
Xuanyuan Po suddenly spoke.
The two girls immediately looked over. As expected, they saw Sun Mo sitting up. His expression was one of agony, and his countenance was slightly pale. There was also the joy of surviving a calamity.
"That Ming Xian should have experienced a similar scene before. Hence, this stage isn't difficult for him. But I'm very curious, how did you do it?"
The gemstone's consciousness was curious. From Sun Mo's expression, he had relied on his intelligence to determine the crux of this stage.
"You are the darkness illusion gemstone, right? Your main attack methods should all be mental attacks, right? "
When Sun Mo was in No. 2 High School, in order to understand the students and teach them well, he had bought many books on psychology and seen many psychological experiments.
"When people are extremely fearful or anxious, their bodies would produce a corresponding stress reaction. For example, the secretion of adrenaline would increase, the blood flow would increase, and the burden on the organs would increase, resulting in death.
"Since ancient times, there have been many people who have been scared to death."
At the start, Sun Mo also thought that the reflected damage was real. But when he called out the genie to heal him, the genie didn't move.
The genie didn't move. Why?
Because Sun Mo wasn't injured. Hence, he soon discovered that the damage came from the mental level. It was a type of illusion.
If you were sure that you weren't injured, then it wouldn't hurt.
However, at the instant he killed the illusion, Sun Mo felt an extreme pain. It was as if his brain was being squeezed into pieces.
It was like you knew you were watching a horror movie and knew that it was fake, but you would still be scared.
Luckily, Sun Mo's will was tough enough and he didn't doubt his judgment. Hence, even if it was very painful, he still survived.
If he had the slightest bit of doubt back then, he would've died immediately.
"What is adrenaline?"
Jia Wendong had a dumbfounded look on his face. After that, it turned into admiration.
Teacher Sun was so knowledgeable!
After that, he contributed another pile of favorable impression points.
"Although I don't really understand it, it sounds really powerful!"
The papaya girl's eyes were filled with little stars of worship when she looked at Sun Mo.
Li Ziqi was very calm because she knew that her teacher would definitely teach her this knowledge.
Speaking of which, it was really too good to be able to acknowledge Sun Mo as his teacher. He would be able to see a vaster world and understand more of the world's profoundness.
"So that's how it is. So that's why people are scared to death!"
The gemstone's consciousness revealed a look of contemplation.
"Can I continue to the next level?"
Through the gemstone's consciousness, Sun Mo knew that Ming Xian was a step faster.
"Sure, but as a reward for passing the second stage and letting me learn something new, I'll give you a chance to leave."
The gemstone's consciousness smiled. "Please cherish this opportunity because I've never been so generous before!"
"Can I give this opportunity to someone else?"
Sun Mo definitely had to move forward.
"You mean you want me to let that woman go?"
The gemstone's consciousness felt that it had guessed correctly. It was said that men were animals that were controlled by their lower bodies. For a woman, they would be hot-headed and give up everything.
"If it's possible, I'll give that boy as well!"
Sun Mo only wanted to give Tantai Yutang an additional layer of insurance. Although this sickly invalid usually looked like he wasn't afraid of death, he feared death the most in his heart.
As for Gu Xiuxun, she was very powerful. Sun Mo felt that there were cracks on her body.
Some shattered rocks flew about, hitting Tantai Yutang's face, causing a bloody wound to appear.
Pak!
The illusion shattered into motes of light and vanished.
Putong!
Tantai Yutang fell to the ground and panted heavily.
"Why did you let me go?"
Tantai Yutang didn't understand.
"It's because your teacher gave you the chance to leave the game."
The gemstone's consciousness explained.
Tantai Yutang started. He clenched his fists so tightly that his nails dug into his flesh.
"In that case, sickly invalid, do you want to leave or continue the challenge?"
The gemstone's consciousness asked.
Tantai Yutang wanted to challenge, but when the words reached his mouth, he couldn't say them out.
"Ant, you should be thankful that you have a good teacher. It's just a pity that he's going to die soon."
After the gemstone's consciousness spoke, it tossed Tantai Yutang out of the darkness spire.
Such a person was like an ant on the roadside to it. Whether it wanted to trample him to death or let him go, it all depended on its mood.
After Tantai Yutang blinked his eyes, he discovered that he had already appeared on the street outside the spire. After looking around, he howled in frustration.
"I'm really trash!"
Tantai Yutang had once sworn before his mother's sickbed that he wouldn't owe anyone anything. But now, he owed Sun Mo his life.
Ding!
Favorable impression points from Tantai Yutang + 10000. Reverence (11200/100000).
...
Gu Xiuxun stood beside the corpse of the illusion, feeling a lingering fear in her heart. Sweat had drenched her hair and stuck to her face.
"What a fascinating performance!"
The gemstone's consciousness praised.
"Since it's fascinating, can I make a small request?"
Gu Xiuxun's tone was gentle.
"Please speak!"
The gemstone's consciousness was very gentlemanly.
"Can you let that student leave? Of course, if you don't mind, how about letting that Sun Mo go as well? "
Gu Xiuxun suggested.
"You guys are all good teachers!"
The gemstone's consciousness sighed ruefully. "However, you are worrying too much. Sun Mo has already passed the second stage and gave the reward to that sickly invalid!
"At the same time, you can choose to continue to the next stage or leave!"
"It can't be, right?"
Gu Xiuxun revealed a bitter smile. (Can't you let me win once? Let Sun Mo owe me a favor?)
Although she had passed, Sun Mo had indeed given her a chance to choose. This favor was truly great.
Ding!
Favorable impression points from Gu Xiuxun + 1,000. Respect (7,500/10000).
"I'll continue!"
Gu Xiuxun didn't give up. She wanted to catch up to Sun Mo and join forces with him to fight against the enemy.
This experience would definitely be extremely wonderful when she thought back to it when she was old.
...
When Sun Mo heard the huge amount of favorable impression points contributed by the sickly invalid, he was a little absent-minded. After that, his head was almost smashed apart by the old Sun Mo's wooden blade.
Swish! Swish!
After Sun Mo somersaulted and retreated, he reorganized his attacks. However, he had already started to focus on defense.
Although the hunchbacked old Sun Mo's movements were slow, he was very experienced and was evenly matched with Sun Mo.
Sun Mo's brows were furrowed so tightly that they could squeeze two crabs to death.
If he went all out, he would be able to kill this old Sun Mo. But what would happen next? Should he fight another illusion?
This was already the fifth illusion. Moreover, from the looks of it, there would be more!
If this continued, even if Sun Mo was a man made of steel, he would be exhausted to death.
"The crux of this stage shouldn't be to keep fighting and kill all the illusions of different ages, right?"
Sun Mo racked his brains and pondered.
"If this continues, when will there be an end?"
Jia Wendong had a bitter look on his face. Teacher Ming Xian was already at the eighth illusion. However, this situation where he couldn't see the end caused him to feel very vexed.
"I feel that it's quite good!"
Xuanyuan Po was very envious. He also wanted to fight against so many of himself.
Ming Xian didn't defend like Sun Mo. He had been attacking rapidly, using the fastest speed to kill the illusions. From his point of view, the more illusions he saw and the more battles he experienced, the easier it would be for him to find the flaws.
After that, when he fought against the tenth illusion, Ming Xian was suddenly enlightened and stopped the sword in his hand.
