When Sikong Lie's figure completely disappeared from everyone's sight, everyone on the stage finally came back to their senses.
However, Xiao Fei had already entered the crowd. I don't know if it was a coincidence or God's will.
Just now, Xiao Fei was only focused on avoiding the attention of the elders, and accidentally came to a woman.
After seeing the woman's beautiful face, Xiao Fei was stunned for a moment. Then he smiled at the woman and said, "Haha, what a coincidence, Miss Nangong."
Nangong Qingyao was also a little surprised when she saw Xiao Fei coming straight towards her.
However, she still smiled and nodded at Xiao Fei, which was considered a greeting.
…
Fu Ming raised his eyes and glanced at everyone, then his eyes rested on Xiao Fei, who came last, and said, "I have made the rules clear. I will be the examiner for this assessment, and I will be the one to judge your results.
"
"Now, I announce that the assessment has begun!"
As soon as Fu Ming finished speaking, everyone cheered and rushed down the high platform, towards a tall tower not far from the high platform.
"Holy crap! Are you done with the rules?"
Xiao Fei looked at everyone in confusion, then turned his attention to Fu Ming, showing him an expression asking for help.
However, Fu Ming didn't seem to notice Xiao Fei's eyes. He turned around and walked towards the seat that had been prepared on one side.
It seems that he is planning to wait here for the assessment to end, and then decide on the final thirty places.
"Depend on!"
Xiao Fei cursed secretly, then stepped forward and hurriedly chased Nangong Qingyao, who was not far away.
"Miss Nangong, wait for me..."
Nangong Qingyao, who was running in front, stopped and looked back at Xiao Fei, her eyes full of doubts.
"Miss Nangong, I'm late. I don't know the rules of the third assessment. Can you tell me. Thank you very much."
After saying that, he gave Nangong Qingyao a fist.
"hehe…"
Nangong Qingyao chuckled lightly and looked at Xiao Fei who was following closely. She said lightly, "The rules are very simple. Have you seen that high tower?"
Nangong Qingyao pointed to an octagonal tower not far away and said to Xiao Fei, "In three days, climb as high as possible. Of course, you can take pills to restore spiritual power this time, and the use of magic weapons is not prohibited.
"
"Is it that simple?" Xiao Fei was a little stunned and subconsciously looked up at the tower.
Only then did he notice that a tower had appeared out of thin air at some point. The tower was so tall that it could be described as reaching straight into the sky.
Xiao Fei counted and found that the tower had a total of eighteen floors. Each floor had eight sides, and each side had a window.
In fact, it is not really a window. After all, given the size of the tower, it is not an exaggeration to call it a door.
Without even thinking about it, Xiao Fei immediately concluded that this must be another formation borrowed from the Tianjian Sect.
Otherwise, it would be impossible for the Tianjian Sect to build such a majestic tower in just one day.
“It’s really eye-opening!”
Xiao Fei raised his head and couldn't help but sigh.
Then he suddenly woke up. It was assessment time and there was no time for him to sigh.
When he looked at Nangong Qingyao again, he suddenly found that Nangong Qingyao had already walked away.
"Miss Nangong, wait..."
Xiao Fei blurted out subconsciously.
However, Nangong Qingyao did not stop this time. She just looked back at Xiao Fei and said, "If Mr. Xiao has other matters, let's talk about it after the assessment is over."
After saying that, he ran towards the tower without looking back.
"I'll go! Is it necessary to be in such a hurry?!"
Xiao Fei was very puzzled. He didn't understand why these people were running towards the tower, as if there was a wild beast chasing behind them.
But now was obviously not the time to get to the bottom of it. After hesitating a little, he also took steps to chase Nangong Qingyao.
…
Finally, Xiao Fei successfully caught up with Nangong Qingyao before she arrived at the tower.
Then, under Nangong Qingyao's surprised gaze, Xiao Fei took out a green pill and handed it to her.
"Miss Nangong's injury hasn't fully recovered yet? Hey, this vitality pill is
Miss Nangong repaid me for solving my doubts just now."
After saying that, without waiting for Nangong Qingyao to make a move, Xiao Fei directly threw the pill towards her.
Then Xiao Fei left without looking back.
Only Nangong Qingyao was left there with a confused look on her face.
Looking at the elixir in her hand, Nangong Qingyao raised the corners of her mouth slightly and murmured in a low voice, "He is really an interesting guy."
She did not swallow the pill, but carefully put it away. Then she followed Xiao Fei's footsteps and ran towards the tower...
When Xiao Fei came to the tower, the gate of the tower had already been opened.
Outside the gate was a steady stream of people coming in, but behind the gate it was pitch black, and it was impossible to see clearly what was happening behind the gate.
Xiao Fei didn't hesitate at all, just followed the crowd and plunged into the gate.
Nangong Qingyao, who caught up later, looked at Xiao Fei's back with a hint of surprise in her eyes.
She didn't expect Xiao Fei to be so decisive and dare to rush in even though he didn't know the specific rules.
"Did I hurt him?" Nangong Qingyao stopped and looked at the tower in a daze.
Recalling the pill Xiao Fei gave him before, a flash of guilt suddenly flashed across his face.
Although she didn't recognize the elixir that Xiao Fei gave her, she could tell from the strong vitality emanating from the elixir that it was definitely extraordinary.
Thinking back to what Xiao Fei said before about her unrecovered old injury, she immediately knew that this was Xiao Fei's intention to help him.
As I thought to myself, the guilt on my face became even stronger.
In the end, she could only sigh helplessly, "Oh, that's it. Let's wait until the assessment is over and find a way to apologize."
Then she suppressed the guilt in her heart and glanced at the open door.
Taking a deep breath, she also stepped into the door.
As he took one step forward, Xiao Fei felt his eyes blurred as the surrounding environment was changing rapidly.
When the surrounding environment stopped changing, Xiao Fei suddenly found himself in a dark room.
This is a large room. Xiao Fei doesn't know exactly how big it is. Because the light source of the entire room comes from the window behind him.
Although this window is just like a door, the light that can penetrate into the room is still limited. It can only illuminate a place about ten meters around Xiao Fei.
However, Xiao Fei didn't know how far there was in the darkness.
His cultivation level is only at the Foundation Establishment stage, and he cannot release his spiritual consciousness like he can at the Golden Elixir stage. Therefore, he does not know what is in the darkness.
But he could feel that there was some kind of danger approaching him in the darkness.
Xiao Fei drew out the Qingfeng Sword without hesitation and looked into the darkness with a vigilant expression.
…
"You came!"
Suddenly, such a voice came from the darkness.
Xiao Fei, almost as a conditioned reflex, quickly turned around and looked in the direction where the sound came from.
"Who?! Come out!"
Xiao Fei roared into the darkness.
The Qingfeng sword in his hand was tightened, making sure that he could react immediately.
"hehe…"
The man in the darkness chuckled, "You shouldn't have come."
"Who?! If you have the guts to come out and pretend to be a ghost, what kind of guy can you be?!"
Xiao Fei roared into the darkness again, and his whole body became inexplicably nervous.
Danger is not scary, only the unknown can arouse fear in the heart.
Xiao Fei knew this truth well, so after shouting those words, he swung out a sword energy without hesitation and slashed directly in the direction of the sound.
However, after this sword energy disappeared into the darkness, it was like a stone sinking into the sea, without causing any abnormal movement at all.
Even the moment the sword energy submerged into the darkness, Xiao Fei completely lost contact with the sword energy, and the sword energy seemed to be completely swallowed by the darkness.
"Damn!" Xiao Fei cursed secretly, and a drop of cold sweat slowly flowed down his forehead.
Now he was even more nervous, and his nerves began to tighten. His whole person fell into a state of high vigilance.
His eyes kept scanning back and forth in the surrounding darkness, hoping to find something.
After a few breaths, a figure slowly walked out of the darkness, and his figure gradually expanded.
Now in Xiao Fei's field of vision.
"How... how... how is it possible!"
Seeing the sudden appearance of the figure, Xiao Fei froze on the spot and looked at the person with some disbelief.
"Unexpected?" The figure shook his robe and looked at Xiao Fei provocatively.
"Who are you?!" Xiao Fei suppressed the shock in his heart and asked with a cold face.
"hehe…"
"Do you still need to ask? Haven't you already seen it? I am you."
After saying that, the figure actually turned around in front of Xiao Fei.
"Impossible! Who the hell are you?!"
Xiao Fei roared angrily. Looking at the figure who looked exactly like himself, the fear in Xiao Fei's heart became even stronger.
He didn't believe that there was really someone in the world who looked exactly like him. Not to mention his appearance, even the clothes on the figure, the Qingfeng sword in his hand, and the aura he gave off.
Everything is exactly the same as Xiao Fei.
"Haha, I told you, I am you." The figure opposite smiled contemptuously, his tone full of ridicule.
Xiao Fei was angry, and regardless of the fear in his heart, he directly raised his hand and struck out with sword energy.
"You die!"
"call out…"
A sword energy formed in front of Xiao Fei, and the next moment it slashed directly towards the figure.
The figure on the opposite side did not panic, and slashed out with the same sword energy.
The moment the figure's sword energy appeared, Xiao Fei was shocked.
"How is that possible? Even the sword energy I wield is exactly the same as mine!"
…
"boom…"
The two sword qi collided directly, and there was a crisp sound. Then the two sword qi disappeared out of thin air.
In terms of their power, the two sword energies are evenly matched, neither superior nor inferior.
The figure opposite laughed, "Haha, how about it? I said, I am you, and I can do everything you know. If you want to defeat me and enter the next level, it is simply wishful thinking!"
Xiao Fei said with a cold face, "Really?!"
At this time, Xiao Fei also wanted to understand what was going on. It seemed that this third test was about strength. It was just not the arena competition he imagined.
Instead, we select the top thirty geniuses through another level-breaking mode.
However, if you want to rank high, you have to defeat these gatekeepers and get to a higher level.
"No wonder Na Nizi said that you can swallow pills and use magic weapons in this assessment. It turns out that it is just a waste of time to pass through levels!"
"So, the guy in front of me is probably a thing created by the Tianjian Sect's formation. As long as you defeat him, you will pass?"
Thinking in his mind, a smile appeared on his face. It is not difficult to verify this idea.
The previous sword strike was just a casual strike, and he did not use the system's power and damage bonus.
He can be sure that even if the other party imitates it, it will never be able to imitate the system, let alone the damage bonus of the system.
"Hmph...are you good at playing? Then take another move from me!"
Xiao Fei sneered and put away the Qingfeng sword. He raised his hand and waved a palm towards the figure not far away.
The figure opposite watched Xiao Fei put away the Qingfeng sword, and a trace of contempt appeared on his face.
But the next moment he was dumbfounded. In his dumbfounded gaze, six thousand palm shadows were overwhelming and pressing down on him.
Before the figure had time to react, the whole person was submerged in the palm shadow.
The next moment, the palm shadow disappeared, and the figure standing there disappeared.
A cold voice suddenly came from the empty room, "Congratulations on successfully breaking through the level. The entrance to the second floor has been opened. The person who has broken through the level can choose to rest where they are for two hours, or they can continue the challenge!"
As soon as this voice fell, the room fell into silence again.
Directly in front of Xiao Fei, a translucent staircase suddenly appeared where the figure originally stood.
Seeing this scene, Xiao Fei smiled.
"Hehe, it's true!"
The fear in his heart was gone. After knowing the rules for entering this tower, Xiao Fei relaxed instead.
