"There aren't any ferocious beasts protecting the spiritual fire. Does that mean that as long as we walk in front of the spiritual fire, we'll be able to take it for ourselves?"
After a closer look, a few people discovered the same thing. Someone immediately cried out in ecstasy.
"Calm down, how could it be that easy to obtain the spiritual fire?" Someone calmed down immediately.
"That's true." Hearing this, that person calmed down as well.
The crowd began to observe the plaza. They discovered that there were countless passageways leading to the spiritual fire in the center of the plaza. Moreover, there was a sign at regular intervals along these passageways. The entire passageway was densely packed with signs like this.
"These signs seem to have words written on them." A sharp-eyed person quickly noticed this.
"Look, there seems to be words written on that huge boulder not too far away," someone quickly shouted.
They had all been attracted by the plaza and the spiritual fire. No one had noticed the boulder at all.
With this shout, everyone's attention was focused on the boulder. However, due to the angle, no one could see what was written on it.
"Let's walk over and take a look."
No one knew who shouted this, but everyone began to walk towards the boulder.
When they arrived in front of the boulder, they saw the words written on it. "This is the path of knowledge. Only one person can walk each path. Only by answering each question correctly will one be able to reach the center."
"So these are examination questions. But there are at least a thousand questions here. I'm afraid there are all sorts of questions here. Will we be able to solve them?"
"That's right. Besides, there's an eighty to ninety percent chance that Mister Pei came up with these questions."
"How could Mister Pei's questions be easy?"
As soon as they saw the words on the boulder, their scalps immediately went numb. Even Murong Xue couldn't help but twitch the corner of her mouth.
This Mister Pei was quite interesting. He actually set up a checkpoint like this. Lin Long couldn't help but smile as he looked at the plaza in front of him.
This place was quite similar to the secret realm in Heavenly Stars City. The only difference was that there were many more questions than in Heavenly Stars City's secret realm. Needless to say, these questions would definitely be more difficult than the ones in Heavenly Stars City's secret realm.
However, no matter how difficult it was, Lin Long wasn't worried. With his current level of knowledge, he believed that even if Mister Pei was still alive, he wouldn't be able to beat him.
"Look, there's someone in the third path on the left!"
At this moment, someone suddenly cried out.
Such an exclamation immediately attracted everyone's attention. Only then did they realize that the walls between the passages were actually transparent. It was also because of this that the person who exclaimed discovered that there were people inside the passage.
After a closer look, they realized that the person was Yang Jian, the one who had crossed the iron chain bridge before them.
"Senior Brother Yang Jian is indeed worthy of being the number one disciple in the academy. He hasn't been here for long, but he has already completed dozens of questions."
"Senior Yang Jian," someone exclaimed when they saw the dozens of tablets behind him.
Even though they had a grudge against Yang Jian now, they could not help but admire Yang Jian's strength.
"What are you waiting for? Let's go and do the questions."
"Yang Jian" Yang Jian Yang Jian.
As soon as these words were spoken, the few of them immediately walked towards the passageways in front of them. These passageways were five feet wide and ten feet tall, and seemed to be constructed from ordinary bluestone bricks. The reason why they were transparent should be related to the runic array.
The person walking in front of them was clearly trying to see if he could enter Yang Jian's path. After all, if he could, he wouldn't need to answer the questions himself. He could just wait for Yang Jian to answer.
However, before he could enter the path, he was immediately repelled by a force. The force was not small, and he spat out a mouthful of blood on the spot.
However, before he could enter the tunnel, he was immediately repelled by a powerful force. This force was not small, and it shook him so much that he spat out a mouthful of blood on the spot.
When Yang Jian heard the man's scream, he immediately turned his head and saw Lin Long and the others.
When he saw Lin Long and Murong Xue smiling and chatting, Yang Jian was enraged.
"Lin Long, don't get cocky. When I get the spiritual fire in front of us, you'll die!" Yang Jian yelled as he punched the tablet in front of him.
"Lin Long, don't be so full of yourself. When I get the spiritual fire in front of us, you'll die!" Yang Jian shouted as he punched the tablet in front of him.
He'd solved so many questions in such a short amount of time. To him, these questions weren't difficult at all, so he was confident in himself.
As for the fact that he could kill Lin Long once he got the spiritual fire, it was because he could tell that it was the eye of the entire formation. Since that was the case, the spiritual fire must be incredibly powerful. Killing Lin Long would be a piece of cake once he got it.
After venting his anger, Yang Jian immediately turned his attention back to the questions in front of him.
No matter what, he had to finish the questions first before he could deal with Lin Long. So, no matter how confident he was, he had to finish the questions first.
"Senior Brother Lin, let's go," Murong Xue hurriedly said to Lin Long.
She didn't have much hope for herself. She was only here to train. Lin Long was different. He should have a chance to solve the questions, which was why Murong Xue was so impatient.
"Mhm," Lin Long nodded.
With that, he followed Murong Xue and walked towards the path in front of them.
To be honest, Yang Jian wouldn't be worried even if he had a few more hours.
The two of them quickly entered their respective paths.
As soon as they entered the path, Murong Xue saw that there was indeed a question written on the sign in front of them. It had to do with alchemy. It didn't seem difficult. After a moment's thought, Murong Xue came up with an answer.
The next question was about martial arts. It wasn't difficult either, and Murong Xue quickly came up with an answer as well.
Just like that, before long, Murong Xue had finished five questions in a row.
When she finished the fifth question, Murong Xue paused, then looked towards Lin Long's path. She was looking straight ahead of her.
The way she saw it, Lin Long's strength should've already surpassed hers. To her surprise, however, she didn't see Lin Long anywhere near her.
Could it be that Senior Brother Lin was still behind her? With that thought, she immediately turned around.
What she couldn't believe was that not only was Linlong behind her, but he clearly hadn't even solved the first question.
What was going on? Murong Xue stared blankly.
These questions were very simple. Even if Lin Long was weaker than her, there was no way he wouldn't be able to solve the first question.
At that moment, Yang Jian glanced towards Lin Long's path. When he saw that Lin Long hadn't moved at the first sign, he was equally surprised.
However, because he hated Lin Long, he didn't think the same way as Murong Xue. Instead, he thought that Lin Long had definitely been stumped by the first question.
Haha, Lin Long, you piece of trash. You can't even solve the first question. How are you going to compete with me? Yang Jian laughed inwardly, pleased with himself.
This situation filled him with even more confidence and motivation.
After glaring at Lin Long in disdain, he turned back to his problem.
