Inside the Wenchang Tower.

The twelve people participating in the competition all stood on the fifth floor steps, but at this time, their faces no longer had the same relaxation as before.

After leaving the first floor platform, they climbed upwards like a bamboo shoot.

After that, the steps on the second and third floors did not cause them much trouble, and they quickly passed without much effort.

However.

When they left the third floor platform and started climbing the fourth floor, their faces changed slightly: compared to the three floors in front, the intensity of the aura restriction on the fourth floor was instantly increased by a large section.

After investigation, they found that if they wanted to climb the fourth level, their own cultivation must reach the ground level.

Fortunately, the cultivation of the twelve people participating in the competition reached this threshold, so they all stepped on the fourth level and passed smoothly.

But.

When they reached the fourth floor platform and explored the aura restriction outside the treasure chest, some of the twelve people began to hesitate.

On the three floors in front, they also stayed for a while when they stepped over the steps to the room where the treasure chest was hidden. However, they had only stayed for a short time and immediately left after exploring the aura restriction outside the treasure chest.

The pride buried deep in their hearts makes them disdain to take action to seize the treasures on the lower levels.

Based on the previous aura intensity, they predicted that they would all be able to climb the seventh and eighth floors of the pagoda. As for the plan they secretly decided, they would break the outside of the treasure chest when they arrived at the fifth and sixth floors platform.

The restrictions are to collect the treasures inside. Doing so will not only harvest the treasures without affecting their subsequent competitions.

However, the situation is different now.

The sudden increase in the aura restriction on the fourth level completely disrupted the plans of some of them.

After stepping onto the fourth floor platform, the twelve people participating in the competition did not hesitate at all and immediately walked quickly towards the treasure chest that appeared in front of them.

They had already discovered that the more they walked up the pagoda, the fewer treasure chests appeared in the room. There were hundreds of treasure chests in the room on the first floor, but there were only twenty or thirty left on the fourth floor.

It's right.

The twelve people each came to a treasure chest and quickly began to explore the aura restriction outside the treasure chest.

After a while, these talents with different expressions took back their spiritual consciousness.

"Sure enough, the ban on these treasure chests has also been greatly increased!"

After exploring the aura restriction outside the treasure chest, Jiang Chen whispered to himself, then turned his head to look at the others beside him, and directly saw the hesitation on the faces of several people.

"It's hard to say what the aura intensity is like in the back. According to the aura intensity of the fourth level, we can barely reach the sixth level at most."

"In this way, if you want to obtain treasures without affecting the subsequent competition, it is undoubtedly the safest choice to open the treasure chest here!"

"but......"

"I'd better fight and wait until the fifth floor to open the treasure chest. Although it will waste some spiritual consciousness, it will not have a big impact on the future."

After observation, Jiang Chen found that although some people present showed hesitation, people like Li Yang, Zhang Fei, Song Xiuzhu and others still had a calm expression. Obviously, they should have made the same choice as themselves.

at this time.

There were five people on the field showing hesitation. Except for Wu You from [Qianren Temple], the other four people rushed over to participate in the competition today, including Zhang Zi'ang, who was the first to climb the stairs.

The twelve people present are all smart people, and they know their strength and advantages very clearly.

Today's competition not only tests their ability to perceive and control the aura, but also tests their spiritual strength.

Unlike Jiang Chen and others, the five of them knew very well that these were not their strengths. They did not think that they would not affect the subsequent competition when collecting treasures from the fifth-level platform.

"Maybe, collecting treasures now and then competing with them all is the best choice!"

The five people looked at the treasure chest in front of them, and their faces gradually showed a look of movement.

At this moment, a somewhat elegant figure stood up.

"Everyone, although we are all competitors at the moment, after all, we are still fellow Taoists."

"I want to advise you in terms of emotion and reason."

Hearing this, the other eleven people quickly turned to look at Song Xiuzhu who was coming out of the crowd.

Facing everyone's different eyes, Song Xiuzhu first smiled slightly, and then said slowly.

"Everyone has explored these treasure chests and should have some understanding of the aura prohibition above."

"According to my inference, even the aura ban outside the fifth floor treasure chest, we should be able to easily break it."

"But, it's hard to say whether the subsequent competition will be."

"The main purpose of our coming here is to win the competition. We will get as good results as possible in each competition. It is most important to wait until more points."

"In my opinion, our strengths are almost the same, but our respective fields are different."

"For some fellow Taoists who are weak in spiritual consciousness, instead of taking the risk of affecting the subsequent competition to open the fifth-level treasure chest, it is better to open the treasure chest here first and then participate in the competition with all your heart!"

Song Xiuzhu always gave people the feeling that she was a gentle Confucian scholar. Her words were sincere and immediately made Zhang Zi'ang and the other two feel a little better.

actually.

The reason why the five of them hesitated was that they could not let go of their face.

After all, all the twelve people here are peers, and each of them is the best among their peers.

at this time.

No one else has the intention to open the treasure chest. If only they do this, wouldn’t that believing that they are not as good as others?

At this time, Song Xiuzhu's words undoubtedly gave them a good step, so that they could naturally open the treasure chest here with peace of mind.

Just when Zhang Zi'ang and his friends were about to respond to Song Xiuzhu, another voice made their faces suddenly turn gloomy.

"Hmph~huh!"

"Just that level, you still dare to come here to embarrass you?!"

Zhang Fei stood up with a sneer and said disdainfully.

"As a warlock, you should be fearless and move forward bravely."

"As a result, you have already admitted your conscience. I really don't know where you got the courage to participate in this competition?!"

After the words were finished, Zhang Fei walked towards the fifth floor sneered, leaving only Zhang Zi'ang and the other people with extremely ugly faces and different expressions.

"that......"

"Dear fellow Taoists don't have to care about Senior Brother Zhang's words. It is the most important thing to keep your rationality and stick to your own choices!"

Song Xiuzhu spoke again, but Zhang Zi'ang and others, who had a gloomy face, had no expression.

"Oh~"

Song Xiuzhu sighed helplessly, then turned around and walked towards the fifth floor steps. Looking at his left back, Jiang Chen's eyes narrowed slightly.

"Is this guy sincerely admonishing me or has ulterior motives?"

"Sure enough, there is no simple character who can appear here!"

Thinking of this, he quickly followed the others to walk towards the fifth stairs. At the same time, he also sensed Zhang Zi'ang and the other two following from behind.

"well!"
