The question that temporarily stopped Linlong was a question about runes. The reason why it was temporarily stumped was because Linlong would be able to solve it if he spent a little more time.
Linlong wasn't surprised by this. Questions in rune formations might not always progress from easy to difficult. It was possible that he would encounter a rather difficult question right from the start.
Of course, the chances of that happening were very low. Linlong just happened to run into one.
Indeed, the difficulty of the next question immediately changed. It became countless times easier. Given Linlong's abilities, he could answer it almost without thinking.
The following questions were the same. Thus, Linlong's speed at solving questions could be described as unstoppable. In no time at all, he caught up to Murong Xue.
Murong Xue instinctively turned her head and saw Linlong appear next to her wall.
She couldn't help but stare blankly. No matter how easy Linlong's questions were, there was no way he could have reached her in such a short amount of time.
Could it be that Senior Brother Lin's abilities have already surpassed mine by far, far too much?
Murong Xue thought to herself. That was the only explanation for how Linlong had managed to catch up in such a short amount of time.
As for why Linlong had taken so long on the first question, she felt that he must have been thinking about something else. He hadn't answered it at all.
After smiling at Murong Xue, Linlong continued to solve the questions at his own speed.
When the others noticed what was happening between Linlong and Murong Xue, they were all dumbfounded as well.
F * ck, this Linlong really did hide his abilities!
They couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
Soon, Linlong caught up to Yang Jian, who was on another path.
At that moment, Yang Jian had just finished a question. He was just about to turn around and look behind Linlong when his jaw dropped in shock. He realized that Linlong had already caught up to him.
How did Linlong catch up so quickly? Yang Jian was dumbfounded.
He thought that he was hallucinating, so much so that he rubbed his eyes hard. However, reality told him that the person on the other path was indeed Linlong.
How did he catch up? That's impossible, right? Yang Jian yelled inwardly again.
After doing so many questions, he knew that he wouldn't have been able to catch up to even the easiest question in such a short amount of time. Furthermore, he had entered the path before Linlong.
Could it be that Linlong was much stronger than him?
However, he quickly denied this speculation. It was because he was so talented and had so many opportunities, but he had only reached his current level. How could Linlong possibly surpass him?
This guy must be cheating! In the end, he came to this conclusion.
Although he didn't know how Linlong had cheated, he insisted in his heart that it was because it didn't make sense otherwise.
He was furious when he came to this conclusion, but what could he do? He couldn't walk out of the tunnel now, so he could only stare at Linlong who was on the other side.
He was so angry that he was no longer in the mood to continue. Hence, the distance between him and Linlong grew further and further.
At some point, the entire square suddenly echoed with such words. "Due to the gap being too great, except for the person on question 35, everyone else will be eliminated."
These words were repeated three times in a row. After the third time, the questions on everyone's signboards disappeared except for Linlong.
What was going on?
Everyone else was dumbfounded.
Some people thought that without these questions, they would be able to move forward, but they were wrong. Although they could move forward, they were always twenty feet away from Lin Long. Only after Lin Long solved the questions and moved forward could they continue to move forward.
It was obvious that they had been eliminated.
After coming to this conclusion, they were all disappointed. Yang Jian was even more furious because this meant that the spiritual fire inside had nothing to do with them.
Previously, he was beaten half to death by Linlong's martial arts. He originally thought that he could surpass Linlong in terms of knowledge, but he didn't expect this to happen. How could Yang Jian not be furious?
"Linlong, don't be so smug. You just used some despicable means to obtain the answer. Even if you obtain the spiritual fire in the end, it's still an unfair victory!" Yang Jian shouted in Linlong's direction.
His voice was so loud that the people on the other side of the tunnel could hear it clearly.
Could it be that Linlong really used some means to obtain the answer?
Hearing Yang Jian's words, the four people couldn't help but have this thought. When they thought about what had happened before, they started to believe Yang Jian.
Otherwise, there would be no way to explain all of this.
This was because Linlong was too young. He was so young that no one thought that he could have such strength at his age.
Yang Jian originally didn't want to walk forward. After all, it was simply embarrassing to be led by Linlong. However, thinking about the spiritual fire in the center, he gritted his teeth and followed behind Linlong.
After a while, someone suddenly exclaimed, "Quick, look at the wall on your left."
Yang Jian subconsciously looked at the wall on his left. After a glance, he was stunned because an image had appeared on the wall. The person in the image was Linlong, who was solving the problem. Not only could he see Linlong, but he could also clearly see the problem on the sign in front of Linlong.
Yang Jian immediately understood that the runic array was displaying the situation on Linlong's side on the wall, allowing them to clearly see the process of Linlong solving the question.
Linlong, with this image, let's see what despicable means you can use! Looking at the image, Yang Jian's face immediately lit up.
At this moment, Linlong happened to walk in front of the next board. Yang Jian immediately stared at the content on the board and Linlong's movements.
This was a question on runes. As soon as he saw the question, a thought flashed through Yang Jian's mind. This question seemed to be a little difficult.
If it were him, it would be a problem if he could solve it within an hour.
However, what he didn't expect was that Linlong seemed to outline the steps of solving the question on the board without thinking.
So this was how the question was done!
Linlong's actions immediately made Yang Jian, who was still thinking about how to solve the question, immediately come to a realization.
As he continued to look, Yang Jian understood the steps of the question even more.
However, because the process was too fast, he still hadn't digested it after watching it. Before he could understand why Linlong did some of the things that he did, Linlong had already moved on to the next question.
Damn, this Linlong's problem-solving speed and ability were too terrifying!
The others naturally saw the process of Linlong solving the question, and they were greatly amazed in their hearts.
They could clearly see the entire process, so they could see that there was no possibility of Linlong cheating at all.
Unknowingly, Linlong only stopped slightly after solving 50 to 60 questions at this speed.
At this time, those who watched from the beginning to the end were already dizzy, feeling as if their heads weren't their own.
The reason they persisted was that they realized that watching Linlong solve the question would allow them to gain something. However, after watching, they realized that their gains were limited. This was because Linlong's problem-solving speed was too fast, and he didn't leave them any time to think at all.
Yang Jian was one of the people who watched from the beginning to the end. The reason he persisted was because he wanted to see Linlong make a mistake, but he realized that he was wrong. It seemed like there was no possibility of Linlong making a mistake at all.
Yang Jian's face was ashen because he could already see that the difference in strength between him and Linlong was too great. All the guesses he made just now were just a lie to himself.
At this moment, something unexpected happened. A dazzling white light suddenly flashed on the tunnel on Linlong's right. Immediately afterward, a person actually descended from the sky and landed on that tunnel, and it happened to be not far from Linlong.
"It's Mentor Ye Hongyi!"
After seeing who that person was, everyone was dumbfounded. They couldn't figure out how Ye Hongyi had entered.
At the same time, other than Linlong's image, Ye Hongyi's image also appeared on the wall on their left. Similarly, a question also appeared on the board in front of Ye Hongyi.
Mentor Ye Hongyi was sent by the Runic Array to teach Linlong a lesson, to let him know how high the sky was and how thick the earth was!
Seeing this situation, Yang Jian immediately clenched his fists in excitement.
Between the two of them, who was better? The same thought flashed through the minds of the others.
Although Yang Jian had just displayed a terrifying problem-solving speed, the questions he solved were not difficult in the absolute sense, so the people present couldn't tell who was better.
