BXBX NOVEL Chapter 189 - Third Trial?
"Why are there multiple entrances like this, System, and why was there only one path in the upper halls that came from.?" Lin Wu questioned.
~Ding~
——
ANSWER: Depending on the difficulty that is set and the performance of the candidates, different paths may be opened to them. Because the formations did not activate, the floors were set to the default number, otherwise they can open different paths depending on the performance.
The top floor that the host first appeared in can even go directly to the entrance of the tomb at the bottom if the right path is activated.
——
"Oh… is that so? Seems like I missed this part in the formation array function list." Lin Wu muttered before glancing through the list again.
About half way through, he found the function which allowed him to change the paths as he liked and link them to different levels.
\'Hmm… should I try changing the difficulty level in the next level for them?\' Lin Wu wondered but then chose not to.
"Wait, can I change the difficulty midway through the trial?" Lin Wu questioned.
~Ding~
——
ANSWER: Changing the trial midway will lead to a proportionate increase and decrease in the final rewards. The final rewards cannot be changed by the Host and are fixed as in independent function in the Trial\'s formation array.
——
"Hmm… that makes sense. Though… do I want to let them obtain the inheritance?" Lin Wu wondered.
Lin Wu wasn\'t exactly losing anything if the cultivators got the inheritance, since it was not his to give anything. Though he could make it so that they would all lose if needed. But he didn\'t know if he wanted to do that, unless he got some benefit from it.
\'I should first find out what sect they are from. Perhaps that can give me more idea…\' Lin Wu thought.
"Are you all fine now?" The Senior brother spoke, pulling Lin Wu\'s attention back to that screen.
"Yes, Senior brother. We can continue now." Su Wen and the other replied.
"Good, let\'s hurry." The Senior brother stood up and went to the entrance of the next level.
They all started climbing the stairs and reached the third level. Their arrival caused the lights to appear, and they were blinded for a moment.
~Ding~
——
THIRD LEVEL: Seven contenders found
INITIATE SECOND TRIAL: Yes/No?
——
"Yes, start the trial." Lin Wu said immediately.
~Ding~
——
THIRD TRIAL: Initiated
NUMBER OF CONTENDERS: Seven
SETTING DIFFICULTY: Level 2
——
With the third trial started, the seven cultivators appeared in the new world. This time it was not a dark and gloomy planet like the previous ones. Instead, it was a normal one, and they were currently located in a jungle.
"This place looks different…" One of the cultivators muttered.
"Our clothes are different too!" the late stage core condensation realm cultivator spoke.
"Seems like we will be assuming the identity of some people in this trial." The Senior brother hypothesis zed.
Lin Wu was also waiting for the trial\'s objective to be announced, as he couldn\'t recognize what world this was. He hadn\'t seen that many worlds during the Taiji Celestials speech, thus it was likely that this was eventually going to happen.
He didn\'t have to wait long though. The voice echoed soon enough.
"Prevent the enemies from sabotaging the defenses." The voice spoke.
As soon as this was announced, confused expressions appeared on the faces of the cultivators. They looked around the area and couldn\'t see anyone that seemed like an enemy.
"What do we do now?" Su Wen questioned.
"Let me check the area…" The Senior brother said before scanning the surroundings with his spirit sense.
He looked towards the other side and spoke, "there are a bunch of cultivators there and they\'re wearing the same clothes as us."
"Let\'s head there then…" The blue robed cultivator said.
Everyone nodded in agreement and flew towards the location of the camp. About a minute later, the small camp appeared in front of their eyes. There were perhaps a few tens of people in the camp, and they were all looking tense and ready to fight.
The guards that were looking from the watch tower spotted the seven cultivators and shouted. "The reinforcements have arrived!"
"So we\'re supposed to be reinforcements, huh…" The Senior brother muttered to himself.
"Welcome brothers! You all are just in time. We received intel that the enemies have already progressed to the first line of control. Our goal is to stop them from continuing and destroy their documents." The commander of the camp spoke after the seven landed on the ground.
The Senior brother secretly felt the fluctuations of spirit qi coming from the commander and found him to be at the Nascent Soul realm.
\'A mere commander is at the Nascent soul realm? What kind of a world is this?\' The Senior brother wondered.
Lin Wu on the other hand already guessed that this was a higher leveled world otherwise something like this was quite unlikely to happen in a world that they were in. He watched on at the cultivators were informed of their aim and then sent off to find the enemies.
It took them about three hours to find it, but Lin Wu could tell that the time in the world was being accelerated. For what was three hours to them was a mere five minutes to him. At first, everything was playing at a normal speed on his screen but soon it sped up.
He was still able to keep up as they weren\'t really talking as much and were mostly running and flying. After finding the hideout of the enemies though, they had their first casualty.
