After Cao Qian finished speaking, he took one last deep look at Shen Qian, who remained silent, before his figure turned into white light and disappeared.
He clearly still had the strength to fight again, but he gave up on his own initiative.
Shen Qian was surprised by the other party's calmness and couldn't help but sigh, "Indeed, true geniuses all have extraordinary abilities."
He just didn't understand what the other person's last sentence meant. Where was "there"?
Can't these people just speak more clearly?
After the battle ended, "Sinking Front" waited quietly.
According to the calculations before the sinking, at most, only the last layer would remain.
It's impossible; the number of people doesn't match.
The stone platform changed, and sure enough, a new set of steps extended out from under Shen Qian's feet.
...
"Sinking forward" has reached the twentieth floor.
In theory, he still has one last opponent.
It took a full twenty minutes before a figure appeared on the platform.
"Beidu, Luo Yi."
"Shen Qian" remained silent and immediately took action.
When they discovered that Luo Yi from Beidu was roughly on par with Cao Qian and Zhao Keyi, Shen Qian, who had been looking forward to the event, became somewhat uninterested.
After thirty moves, Luo Yi, his face pale, was defeated and died, turning into white light and disappearing.
Is this the opponent on the final floor?
That's all there is to it.
But then I thought about it again, and it seemed like this was the only way.
The upper limit is so high, and the system is already at its ceiling. Who can break through it?
No matter how talented someone is, to the system, the difference is just a few moves.
This is the most normal outcome.
There are too many geniuses to face, and Shen Qian is already experiencing aesthetic fatigue.
If I had to say what my only regret is, it would be not having met Wang Shuo.
Originally, Shen Qian thought he was more likely to meet Wang Shuo than those from the same province, since that's how it's written in novels, like a battle of destiny.
But on the contrary, from beginning to end, Shen Qian never encountered the other party.
Perhaps the other party suffered a defeat on a certain level, or perhaps there were other unforeseen circumstances, but in any case, he could no longer possibly meet the other party.
There will be a maximum of twenty floors, and at most only two people can climb to the top of the twenty floors. This is due to the rules and the limited number of people.
Shen Qian was so certain because just now, after Luo Yi also "died with his eyes wide open in disbelief," the system had automatically ended the AFK mode.
This indicates that, according to the system's assessment, the battle to reach the summit has ended.
After standing there blankly for a while, Chen Qian suddenly smiled.
I've fallen into a kind of cognitive bias.
Wang Shuo is very strong, but he was only ranked in the top 100 in the National Youth Martial Arts Competition.
Aside from the advantage in realm, if we consider everything else, not even the system, someone like Zhao Keyi would absolutely crush Wang Shuo.
Shen Qian believes that Wang Shuo's domineering mindset stems from his upbringing.
But in fact, long ago, Shen Qian had already surpassed him in many areas.
Aside from his pioneering spirit, Wang Shuo is utterly useless in the face of today's challenges!
Perhaps it won't be long before Shen Qian can completely crush him.
Having figured this out, Chen Qian felt a sense of relief and was no longer troubled.
He walked to the edge of the platform and looked around. All he could see was boundless darkness, and he could not find a single star.
Yes, there's no one else on the twentieth floor.
But... why isn't it over yet?
Shen Qian frowned, suddenly having a bad feeling.
He remembered the hidden challenges in the first and second exams... Could it be?
Just as Shen Qian was thinking this, the stone steps that had not moved for a long time suddenly extended out, and then, under Shen Qian's complicated gaze, another layer of steps appeared.
There are still twenty-one floors left?
You must be kidding me.
"I just want to get a perfect score quietly, why do you have to create obstacles for me?"
Shen Qian shouted angrily at the void.
No one responded.
Although Shen Qian was certain that the old silver coin behind him was watching him from somewhere.
With a pursed lip, Chen Qian could only take one step up to the twenty-first floor.
...
The twenty-first floor was still an empty white jade platform, but the starry sky was vast, the Milky Way hung upside down, and the background had been put to some thought, so it was no longer so rough.
At least for now, looking at the starry sky, Chen Qian finally felt a sense of accomplishment in reaching the summit.
But... what about the opponent?
Shen Qian was genuinely curious: since he could no longer be matched with other candidates from the same year, who would he play against?
We can't just throw in a powerful expert from the Mountain and Sea Realm, can we?
Based on the experience of the previous two subjects, the hidden levels will definitely be extremely difficult, but they will absolutely not be unsolvable problems.
Thinking of this, Shen Qian felt a little more at ease.
When Shen Qian looked up again, he was taken aback.
Because a mirror appeared on the platform at some point.
The mirror with a silver base stands in the center of the platform, about the same height as the person.
Are they here yet?
Shen Qian raised an eyebrow; it seemed he no longer needed to guess.
So Shen Qian walked over.
On the surface, it was just an ordinary mirror, and the person in the mirror, wearing a tactical bodysuit, was also staring at him.
Before sinking, I inexplicably remembered an urban legend I had read before.
That was when spiritual energy had just begun to revive, and demons and monsters had not yet been completely driven out of human-inhabited areas. There were quite a few dark stories happening in reality.
One of them is that if you stare at yourself in the mirror at midnight, you will gradually feel uncomfortable, until eventually it becomes eerie.
It's not unreasonable that someone would recall such a slightly terrifying legend before sinking.
