After escaping the danger of the portal, Lin Yu and the others collapsed on the ground, breathing heavily, exhaustion written all over their faces. After a long while, Lin Yu slowly stood up, his eyes fixed firmly on the upper level of the Tower of Light, thinking to himself: "Every level of this Tower of Light is full of unknowns and dangers. If the mysterious key hadn't resonated with the rune just now, we would have been teleported to who knows where. But the power of the mysterious key is so mysterious every time it appears. How many secrets does it still have waiting for us to uncover?" He knew that the road ahead would only get more difficult, but as the leader of the team, he couldn't retreat even a little.
Su Yao also struggled to get up. Her body was still a little weak, and the fear from before still remained on her face. She looked at Lin Yu, her eyes full of dependence and trust: "Lin Yu, what should we do next?" Although she was worried about the challenges in the future, as long as Lin Yu was by her side, she felt that she had someone to rely on. After experiencing this crisis, her feelings for Lin Yu became deeper, but at the same time, she also had some doubts about her own abilities. She secretly made up her mind to become stronger in order to better protect everyone.
Xiao Yi dusted himself off, a defiant smile on his face. "Who cares what lies ahead? We've already overcome so many challenges, so why should we be afraid of failing this little test?" His voice remained cheerful, but a hint of solemnity lingered in his eyes. He knew the trials of the Tower of Light would not end easily, and behind every apparent victory lay a greater crisis. But his competitive spirit and thirst for victory prevented him from showing even the slightest fear in front of his companions.
Lu Ming pushed his glasses up, his eyes gleaming with thought. He walked over to the runes and examined them again. "Although these runes have calmed down temporarily, we're still far from unlocking their mysteries. Perhaps they will play a key role in the upcoming trials." His heart was filled with curiosity about the unknown, but he also understood that if he wanted to continue in this Tower of Light, unlocking the secrets of these runes was essential.
You Qianxue and Bing Ling'er supported each other as they stood up. Their faces were still pale, and the excessive consumption of ice power made them feel weak. You Qianxue's heart was filled with guilt: "It's all my fault. I couldn't help more at this critical moment." Bing Ling'er held her hand tightly and said firmly: "Sister You Qianxue, don't say that. We have tried our best. And, we will become stronger together." Their eyes revealed encouragement and support for each other. They knew that only by relying on each other could they go further on this difficult journey.
The man in red stood silently by, watching his companions, guilt welling up in him once again. He recalled the betrayal of the five great academies. If it weren't for his own negligence, they wouldn't have been in so much danger. "I must protect them with my own life. Never again will they come to harm," he vowed silently, his eyes revealing a hint of determination.
Lin Yu took a deep breath and said, "Everyone has rested enough, let's keep moving forward. No matter what lies ahead, we must face it together." Everyone nodded and followed Lin Yu towards the upper level of the Tower of Light.
They walked along a narrow passage, with faint lights flickering on the walls on both sides, as if telling an ancient story. Suddenly, a huge room appeared in front of them. In the center of the room was a huge chessboard with many strangely shaped chess pieces placed on it.
"Is this... a chessboard? Could this also be a test for the Tower of Light?" Xiao Yi scratched his head and said in confusion.
Lin Yu observed the surroundings vigilantly: "Everyone be careful, this chessboard doesn't look simple. Lu Ming, see if you can find any clues."
Lu Ming stepped forward and carefully examined the chessboard and pieces. He noticed mysterious symbols engraved on the pieces, and the grids on the board seemed to follow a unique pattern. "The arrangement of these pieces and the board might be a puzzle. We need to find the correct solution to pass it," Lu Ming said, his eyes gleaming with excitement. For him, solving puzzles was a joy.
At this moment, the chess pieces on the board suddenly moved. They seemed to have life and began to move on the board. Lin Yu and others immediately became alert and prepared to deal with possible dangers.
"Everyone be careful, these chess pieces seem to be aggressive!" Lin Yu shouted loudly.
Sure enough, some chess pieces rushed towards them. Lin Yu quickly waved the mysterious key, releasing a ray of light, trying to resist the attack of the chess pieces. Su Yao also cast a protective light shield to provide protection for everyone. Xiao Yi brandished his weapon and engaged in a fierce battle with the approaching chess pieces. You Qianxue and Bing Ling'er cast ice spells again, trying to slow down the movement of the chess pieces. Lu Ming continued to observe the changes on the chessboard, trying to find the key to solving the puzzle.
During the fierce battle, Lin Yu discovered that the movements of these chess pieces seemed to follow a certain pattern on the chessboard. "Everyone, pay attention. The movements of these chess pieces follow a pattern. As long as we find the pattern, we can find a way to crack it!" Lin Yu shouted.
After listening to Lin Yu's words, everyone observed the movements of the chess pieces more carefully. After some effort, Lu Ming finally discovered the pattern: "I understand. The movements of these chess pieces are determined by the symbols on the chessboard. As long as we move the chess pieces in a certain order, we can solve the puzzle!"
Lin Yu and the others followed Lu Ming's instructions and began to try to move the chess pieces. With their efforts, the pieces gradually aligned themselves in the correct order, and the light on the chessboard grew brighter and brighter. Finally, when the last piece was placed in the correct position, the chessboard emitted a dazzling light, and a new door appeared at the end of the room.
