The courtyard in the center of the stone tower was covered in green grass. When Lin Huang had followed White Bones into the room, he had passed by and seen a stone tablet. However, he had thought that it was just an ornament and did not pay much attention to it.
When he returned to the courtyard again, he stood in front of the stone tablet and observed it carefully.
The stone tablet was grayish-black in color. There were no words on it, only strange-shaped golden lines. These lines seemed to form a complicated maze.
Just as Lin Huang was staring at the stone tablet, his mind suddenly went blank. When he came back to his senses in the next second, he found himself in a maze surrounded by gray stone walls. Meanwhile, Lin Huang himself was at a crossroad. For a moment, he was confused about what was going on.
At that moment, a female voice came from the sky.
"The rules of the challenge are as follows: Every time the challenger enters the maze, they will be transported randomly. As long as you find any exit in the maze within three minutes, you will be considered to have passed the challenge. In the maze, the challenger will not be able to fly, teleport, or use detection abilities.
"Challenger, please get ready as soon as possible. The three-minute countdown will begin soon!"
As soon as the female voice fell, a countdown number suddenly appeared in the sky. The number was jumping rapidly.
"10, 9, 8 … 2, 1."
When the number jumped to 1, a few large words appeared in the sky.
"The challenge begins!"
Lin Huang stood rooted to the ground for a moment. He could clearly feel that his Territory had fallen silent and he had lost his sense of the outside world. He looked left and right at the four passages. Although he usually did not have trouble choosing, he did not know how to choose at that moment.
He only had three short minutes to choose any path. If he made the wrong choice, he would definitely not have the chance to redo it.
Suddenly, an idea flashed in his mind. Four telekinetic flying daggers shot out of his body. Under the control of his telekinesis, the four flying daggers flew rapidly toward four different passages.
As soon as the four telekinetic flying daggers hit the wall, Lin Huang would use his telekinesis to control the direction of the flying daggers and summon more flying daggers to fly rapidly along the newly detected forks.
In less than a minute, Lin Huang finally summoned hundreds of flying daggers before he found the exit.
Once he found the exit, Lin Huang immediately put away the other telekinetic flying daggers and sprinted along the flight path of the flying dagger at the exit.
Finally, when the timer showed two minutes and eight seconds, he dashed out of the maze's exit.
As soon as he rushed out of the maze, Lin Huang's eyes lit up. When he came back to his senses, he was back in front of the stone tablet on the first floor of the Sorcerer Goddess Tower.
"Little Black, did I just leave this space?" As soon as he returned, Lin Huang immediately asked Little Black.
[No, your consciousness was only drawn away by the stone tablet for about two minutes. I guessed that it was a test on the stone tablet, so I didn't disturb it.]
The way Lin Huang looked at the stone tablet was a little different. The methods of a True God were really a little scary. They could actually make him fall for it without making a sound.
"I didn't expect you to succeed." The stone tower face suddenly appeared again, and its tone was slightly surprised.
"I'm quite lucky." Lin Huang smiled and asked, "Senior, I've already succeeded. What should I do now to get to the second floor?"
"That's easy. Do you see the red dot on the stone tablet?"
Lin Huang looked at it and saw that there was indeed an additional red dot on the stone tablet that had not been there before.
"That red dot is the starting point of the random teleportation in the maze just now. You already know where the exit of the maze is. What you need to do now is to insert the energy in your body into the stone tablet and control the red dot to move along the path you took in the maze until it leaves the maze.
"However, there are two things that I must remind you of. First, your energy control must be precise enough. You must not touch the lines on the stone tablet, even if they are less than a millimeter away from the red dot. If you touch them, your previous attempts will be invalid, and you must enter the stone tablet with your consciousness to try again. Second, the speed at which you control the red dot must be fast enough. The requirement to pass the test with your consciousness was a few minutes, so you must pass in the same amount of time. If you can't do that, your previous attempts will be invalid, and you'll have to enter the stone tablet again with your consciousness. "
"That's why there are actually two tests on each floor. One is in your consciousness, and the other is in the real world." Lin Huang understood. "The second test should be about the precise control of energy."
The stone tower face smiled without saying a word.
Lin Huang looked at the stone tablet with a serious expression. The difficulty of the second test was similar to finding the exit of the maze. The requirement for the precise control of Life Power was so high that it had to be less than a millimeter.
While he felt that it was challenging, Lin Huang was eager to try it out. He wanted to know how far he could go.
He placed his palm on the empty space on the side of the stone tablet and inserted his Life Power into it. The dark red dot began to turn bright red. He did not insert too much Life Power, but the red dot was already saturated and rejected more Life Power input. At that moment, a three-minute countdown appeared on the empty space on top of the stone tablet.
Soon, the countdown began to increase.
Lin Huang glanced at the countdown and shifted his attention to the red dot in front of him. He then began to control the red dot to move forward.
He did not rush. Instead, he slowly controlled the red dot to move forward carefully, familiarizing himself with the feeling.
Soon, a minute had passed. Lin Huang had only completed one-fifth of the journey while controlling the red dot. However, his speed was gradually increasing.
When there was only one minute left on the countdown, the red dot had only completed half of the journey.
Lin Huang peeped at the countdown and did not look at the time anymore. He focused all his attention on the red dot.
As he got more familiar with controlling the red dot, the speed of the red dot's movement was getting faster. The time left on the countdown was getting shorter.
When the countdown entered the last ten seconds, the red dot was still some distance away from the exit. There were a few turns in the middle.
"Only ten seconds left!" The giant face could not help but remind Lin Huang. He did not expect Lin Huang to make zero mistakes on his first attempt at controlling the red dot. Seeing that the time was almost up, he hoped that Lin Huang would be able to pass the test in one go.
Of course, Lin Huang heard the giant face's reminder. He suddenly controlled the red dot to speed up at a turn. It brushed past the golden lines at a distance that was almost invisible to the naked eye, but it did not touch them. Then, he did the same for the second and third turns. It was like a flying car drifting at a sharp turn. After three turns, Lin Huang controlled the red dot to rush out of the maze's exit when there were only three seconds left on the countdown.
Lin Huang let out a long breath and retracted his palm from the stone tablet.
At that moment, the golden lines on the stone tablet began to fade quickly. The red dot that Lin Huang controlled just now turned into three lines that spread across the stone tablet, forming three unique routes. The three routes on the stone tablet were as eye-catching as if they were drawn by magma. They appeared on the stone tablet for about ten seconds before suddenly shrinking into a light dot. It then left the stone tablet and shot directly into the space between Lin Huang's eyebrows.
