The first level of the Secret Rune Technique consisted of more than 3,000 completed runes. These completed runes were actually public knowledge during the Middle Ages, and all the Sorcerers knew about them. As for the other completed runes, the wizards had to explore and derive them themselves.
Bloody only spent a couple of hours to derive over 50,000 completed runes that could be used with a high degree of usability.
Although the contents of the secret rune skill had been simplified by Bloody, Lin Huang had no idea how long it would take for him to learn it and come up with a complete rune on his own. The time that he could stay in the ruins was limited. He planned to memorize all of the completed runes. To him, memorizing them was much easier than learning them.
After classifying the 50,000 completed runes, Bloody shared part of its memory with Lin Huang.
"Elemental runes, amplification runes, sealing runes, spirit runes …" Lin Huang began memorizing them according to the different types. He sat on the fourth level of the stone tower for three days and finally memorized all of the 50,000 runes.
Bloody had also derived more runes during the past few days, including the combination of advanced runes and high-level runes. It shared all of the completed runes with Lin Huang.
After memorizing the first 50,000 completed runes, he thought that he did not have much time left, so he did not read the more complicated completed runes.
On the fourth afternoon, Lin Huang finally stood up and walked straight to the stone tablet.
Looking at the sealing rune on the stone tablet, Lin Huang smirked. The rune was one of the sealing runes that Bloody had derived. He knew very well what the corresponding unsealing rune was.
He extended a finger and began drawing on the sealing rune carefully. As Lin Huang inserted his Life Power into the rune, golden lines were left on the stone tablet.
In less than three minutes, Lin Huang stopped drawing on the stone tablet. A brand new completed rune was completed on the stone tablet. The completed rune was also made of 36 rune lines.
As soon as the new rune was completed, the 36 golden rune lines shone brightly and covered the original rune. Even the sealing rune began to shine in a golden glow.
Not long after, the golden lines began to dissipate on their own, as if their color had faded. Within a few seconds, the unsealing rune and the sealing rune disappeared, and the greenish-black stone tablet became smooth again.
Just when Lin Huang was going to ask the giant face what he should do next, he was pulled into another dimension.
The dimension before him was completely different from the maze. It was a vast, open space with gray stone platforms that were about a meter in diameter floating in mid-air like floating islands.
Lin Huang was standing on the first stone platform while the second one was about 20 centimeters in front of him. The third and fourth stone platforms formed a straight line behind him, each of which was about 20 centimeters away from the previous one.
Just when Lin Huang was surprised, the female voice in the sky came again.
"The rules are as follows: There are 101 stone platforms in this level. Other than the first stone platform, the other 100 platforms have a completed rune engraved on them. They are made up of 36 basic rune lines at most. For each stone platform, the challenger has three minutes to construct new runes to decipher the original runes on the stone platform. If the challenger is unable to decipher the runes on the stone platform within three minutes, the stone platform will automatically collapse, and the challenger will fail. "
"Those who fail will be sent back to the first stone platform and have to start again. The runes on the stone platforms that they have already passed will change at random."
"The challenger must not use the same rune to decipher the rune. There are no other restrictions. You can use advanced or even high-level rune lines, or complete runes with more than 36 rune lines."
After the rules were explained, the 10-second countdown in the sky started again.
On the second stone platform in front of Lin Huang, a Witchcraft Rune began to slowly appear on the empty ground.
When the countdown in the sky ended, the rune was finally completely revealed.
This rune was made up of 36 basic rune lines. Lin Huang observed it carefully and found the corresponding completed rune in his mind. "It's a rune of the fire element. Is it warning me not to step on it directly?"
After mumbling to himself, Lin Huang quickly thought of a countermeasure. "It's the easiest to decipher it with elemental restraints. Since it's a fire element rune, I should be able to use a water element rune of the same level. However, this rune is a bit of a trap. It's not an ordinary fire element rune. It has an explosive nature. Therefore, I should use an ice-sealing rune. "
After thinking of a way to decipher it, Lin Huang immediately squatted down and started to engrave the ice-sealing rune on the stone platform with his finger.
About two minutes later, an ice-sealing rune that was made up of 36 rune lines was accurately drawn by Lin Huang.
After the rune was formed, the two completed runes quickly collapsed and the stone platform returned to its original state. Lin Huang then stepped on it.
On the third stone platform, a rune began to form slowly.
This time, Lin Huang could tell that it was an illusion rune that could only be deciphered by an illusory breaking rune.
After searching for a suitable illusory breaking rune in his mind, Lin Huang soon completed the engraving and deciphered the second rune.
After stepping on the third stone platform, there was a dimensional rune on the fourth stone platform. Lin Huang then used the dimensional freezing rune to decipher it again.
Later on, there were all sorts of runes on the stone platforms. Fortunately, Lin Huang had memorized enough runes in his mind. None of the runes were out of Bloody's range. All Lin Huang needed to do was to recall them in his mind and he would know what type of runes they were, what effects they had, and how to decipher them.
The rule was to pass one level in three minutes. In the beginning, Lin Huang needed around two minutes. As he got more familiar with the runes, his speed of searching for the runes in his mind was getting faster. He could decipher the runes on the stone platform in about a minute.
It took Lin Huang less than two hours to decipher all of the 100 stone platforms.
When Lin Huang stood on the last floating stone platform, a golden glow came out of nowhere and penetrated between Lin Huang's eyebrows.
Before Lin Huang could react, he was sent back to the hall on the fourth level of the stone tower.
As he immersed his consciousness into his body, Lin Huang soon found the information that the golden glow had sent him. There were more than 10,000 completed Witchcraft runes.
He roughly looked through them. In reality, they were useless to him as all the completed runes were included in the runes that Bloody had deciphered. None of them were left out.
