Chapter 197 The Assessment is Over

“He who lacks a strong will cannot attain wisdom.”

This sentence from "Mozi·Self-cultivation" is the best interpretation of the current ladder assessment.

If the will is not strong enough, the talent cannot be fully utilized. When the two of them stood high on the ladder, gravity crushed their flesh and blood bodies, illusions whipped their spiritual land, and thousands of tortures followed one after another without breathing. If the will was shaken at the slightest, they would not be able to think and move forward, and could only allow themselves to be destroyed on this step.

Like an old man staggering in his frail twilight years, when they stepped onto the 90th floor, an even more terrifying pressure swept over them, and both their bodies and minds were as if they had died, and they no longer had the strength to climb.

But at this moment, the commander-in-chief suddenly felt that he had entered a mysterious realm. His thoughts suddenly opened up, his eyes suddenly became clear, the dirty aura that permeated his body was swept away, and his body was as light as a swallow. He tried to take a step forward in disbelief, and there was no hindrance at all!

It seemed as if the trip to the Heavenly Ladder had really transformed him completely. He stared at Lin Junhuai's hesitant figure in front of him, and then, with a burst of energy, the man ran briskly to the top floor.

Elder Mo Ge, who was already standing on the top floor waiting for the result, was stunned. His eyes were surprised but also happy: "I never thought that the commander-in-chief had reached such a high level. I have no complaints about handing over the position of the leader to you."

The commander-in-chief tilted his head slightly to look at Lin Junhuai, who was still unconscious and trapped on the 93rd floor. He also caught a glimpse of the frowning faces of Emperor Jing and his gang. He suddenly felt relaxed and thought that all the hardships he had experienced along the way were worth it.

"Please follow me, Commander-in-Chief. Since you have won the assessment, I will hand over the map of the organization to you for safekeeping."

There was also disappointment in his tone that the young master had not won.

The commander-in-chief's eyes flashed, and then he bowed his head and said, "I will definitely live up to the elder's high expectations!"

The result of the master's assessment soon spread throughout the Mohist school. All the disciples shouted the name of the commander-in-chief with joy on their faces. The man couldn't help but curl his lips. From being an outer disciple at the bottom to becoming the leader of the Mohist school, he was extremely happy, not to mention that he could get the organization map and complete the task right away.

"arrive."

The elder's words brought him back to his senses. In the secret room with many mechanisms, the mechanism map was carefully taken out and handed over to the commander-in-chief: "The Mohist School does not attack. Please use it reasonably and do not disturb the world."

"Please rest assured, Elder."

The exquisite locked wooden box was opened, and inside was the coveted mechanical scroll. The man's fingertips touched it with trembling excitement, but before he had time to study it carefully, he was interrupted by panicked shouts outside: "Oh no! A group of men in black have broken through the numerous traps and have entered the mechanical city!"

"We are so defeated that we will suffer heavy casualties!"

The elder and the commander-in-chief looked at each other solemnly and rushed to check the situation.

The situation in the Mohist Hall was extremely tragic at the moment, with corpses strewn all over the ground and blood flowing like a river. The leading man in black, wearing a bronze mask, said in a feminine voice: "Hand over the map of the organization, or the Mohist will disappear from the world today!"

The elder snorted coldly: "Dream on!"

He shouted loudly: "Activate the destruction mechanism! Today we will live and die together with the mechanism city!"

As soon as these words came out, the expressions of the disciples turned into solemn expressions ready to die bravely. However, the man in black frowned, and his sinister eyes swept towards the wooden box in the commander's hand. Suddenly, he smiled and said, "Come on, seize the map of the mechanism!"

The two sides fought fiercely, and the Mohist School was defeated step by step. The elder spat out a day of blood and said anxiously: "Master, please quickly destroy the map of the mechanism! Otherwise, it will fall into the hands of people with ulterior motives. The world will be in chaos, and there will be endless war and sorrow everywhere!"

The commander-in-chief looked hesitant: "This is the treasure of my Mohist school, how can it be destroyed like this..."

What's more, after finally completing the mission, he still needs to hand over the agency map to his master.

"Master! Destroy it quickly! We can no longer resist!"

The elder urged: "Master!!!"

The commander-in-chief's eyelashes trembled, and he opened his lips and said, "This is the crystallization of Mohist wisdom, it must not be destroyed..."

"Bang——"

All the blood and heavy smoke before his eyes disappeared, and the originally anxious old voice now sounded steady and deep: "The competition is over. Congratulations to the young master for winning this round."

The commander-in-chief stood at the top of the ladder, blinking blankly, looked down at his empty hands, and immediately lowered his head in embarrassment.

At this point he knew very well that everything was just an illusion to test them.

"This round of assessment actually connects the third and fourth rounds. Reaching the top of the 90th floor will be considered passing the third round. The formation will stop circulating, allowing you to reach the top directly without any pressure. At this time, the fourth round of assessment begins."

"When the formation is activated again, the illusion will directly conduct the final test on you, which is the selection of the mechanism diagram."

As everyone's eyes suddenly realized what was going on, the elder looked at the commander-in-chief with a hint of disappointment in his eyes: "Young Master and you have gone through the same experience, but your choice is completely different."

Lin Junhuai also followed the fixed process, climbed to the top and seized the position of the boss, and was led by the elder to hand over the agency map. Then the enemy attacked, and the young man never hesitated. His pale features were sad and firm. After destroying the agency map, he resolutely resisted the enemy until the last moment. The agency city collapsed, and he and the Mohist disciples fell into the cold water.

So when the test was over, the boy still hadn't come back to his senses. The coldness of the river water and the suffocating feeling of being deprived of his breath still wrapped him tightly. It was not until Jun Lin grabbed his wrist and transmitted some of his internal energy to him to relax his tendons, blood vessels, that his eyes gradually became clear.

The voice became hoarse and dry due to the pressure of emotions, which was a little harsh: "The weapons of the Mohist school emphasize non-aggression. What does non-aggression mean? It means to stop unjust attacks. Why do we promote it? Of course, we dare to promote it only if we have the ability to stop war."

The young man's dark eyes shone like torches: "The mechanism map and the mechanism technique are the same in the world. If one day the Mohist School is defeated and falls into danger, it is better to destroy it and perish forever with the Mohist School rather than let people with ulterior motives seize it and bring disaster to the world."

Universal love and non-aggression are two creeds engraved in the bones of the Mohist school. If one is a great man, he must naturally carry these two points through to the end. The commander-in-chief cannot do it, but Lin Junhuai can do it.

Just this one point makes the difference.

"Hahahaha, Young Master is absolutely right. How can our Mohist sect be so attached to a piece of blueprint? When this blueprint is not beneficial to the people of the world, we will resolutely destroy it."

The elder laughed out loud. After several tests, he was surprised that this young master, whom he had watched grow up, was much more wise and magnanimous than he had imagined.

"Young Master, no, I should say you are a great master. Look, now the entire Mohist School has recognized your status."

Lin Junhuai, who was standing at the top of the ladder, was stunned. He raised his eyes and looked down. Thousands of disciples were kneeling in respect.

It was so vast and surging that he couldn't help but felt tears in his eyes.

The use of force, which has always been criticized by many people, is actually the least worthy standard for Mohists to measure great men. What a great man should really possess is the heart of loving all and not aggressing, which leads Mohists to be unconventional.

Jun Lin curled his lips and smiled: "Congratulations."

Yi An smiled and said, "Congratulations."

Yu Yu grinned: "Congratulations."

Lin Junhuai wiped away his tears and muttered, "Really? I get it. Why are you all being so sentimental?"

It was great that he was recognized by the Mohist people and received sincere blessings from his partners. This should be the happiest day of his life.
