Chapter 113

The Second Star Cave had a style entirely different from that of the First Star Cave.

This seemed to be the interior of a cosmic battleship, with walls formed from silver-white alloy in every direction.

Not far away, there was a huge transparent passage.

“What does this Star Cave test?”

Lin Yuan looked to the side, where a giant metal screen stood, displaying the test content.

“Objective: Pass through the transparent passage.”

“Hint 1: Every ten seconds, the transparent passage will be covered by lasers.”

“Hint 2: The total length of the transparent passage is 40,000 meters.”

…

“Is the test for speed, or defense?”

Lin Yuan stared at the metal screen, deep in thought.

According to the rules of the test, there were two ways to pass.

One was to traverse the transparent passage before the lasers activated.

The lasers activated every ten seconds, and the transparent passage was 40,000 meters long.

That means, as long as your speed exceeded 4,000 meters per second, you could smoothly pass through.

4,000 meters per second, which is roughly several times the speed of sound.

This tested one’s speed.

Alternatively, if you were not fast, but your body’s defense could withstand the laser coverage every ten seconds,

passing through this Star Cave would also be simple.

This tested one’s defense.

“Let’s see how others manage it.”

Lin Yuan was unsure if there would be other obstacles in the middle of the passage, so he decided to wait a bit.

Thinking this, Lin Yuan glanced at other Evolvers nearby.

Although Lin Yuan had waited for half an hour before entering the First Star Cave, his speed in completing the 100-mile black racetrack was not slow.

He almost had no breaks throughout, so not many Evolvers were ahead of Lin Yuan entering the Second Star Cave.

Upon a glance, there were only about fifty or sixty of them.

These fifty or sixty Evolvers were all Golden Pattern Evolvers.

Among them, three were Red Pattern.

“Red Pattern?”

Lin Yuan withdrew his gaze.

In the world of the Seven Star Cave, Evolvers were divided into three levels.

Red Pattern, Golden Pattern, Silver Pattern.

This classification was based on some standards set by the Chikun Star Lord.

In the First Star Cave, with an Evolver count exceeding a million, Lin Yuan only noticed a few Golden Patterns, as for Red Patterns, he saw none at all.

Now in the Second Star Cave, the number of Evolvers had sharply reduced, and even fewer were ahead of Lin Yuan.

“With the vastness of the universe and the incalculable number of the Human Race, the emergence of geniuses and freaks is definitely not few.”

Lin Yuan mused internally.

In this competition, although he didn’t reveal all his cards, Lin Yuan had displayed most of his strength.

Even so, in the eyes of the Chikun Star Lord, he was only a Golden Pattern.

It could be inferred that those above the Golden Pattern, the Red Patterns, definitely had greater potential and aptitude than Lin Yuan.

However, Lin Yuan did not belittle himself, whether it was the Door to the Myriad Realms or Against-Heaven’s Understanding, both belonged to late-stage talent.

They would become more formidable as time passed.

Although Lin Yuan was not equal to those three Red Patterns now, given a few more opportunities to traverse, it was uncertain who would be stronger.

…

The three Red Pattern Evolvers were a silver-haired woman,

a man with a vertical bloodline on his forehead,

and a burly man nearly three meters tall, carrying a giant axe on his back.

These three Red Patterns, each standing in a corner, had no other Evolvers approaching them.

…

Mysterious Space within the Seven Star Cave World.

Twelve figures were leisurely watching the Star Cave area below.

Since no one had arrived at the Third Star Cave yet, everyone’s attention was focused on the Second Star Cave.

“Another Golden Pattern Challenger has arrived.”

“This Golden Pattern Challenger, called Lin Yuan, right? Has he grasped the laws of Yin and Yang?”

The gazes of the figures fell on Lin Yuan.

As disciples of the great Star Lord, these twelve were not too concerned about ordinary Silver Pattern Challengers.

Because the likelihood of Silver Pattern Challengers passing through the seven Star Caves was slim, and clearly, being categorized as Silver Pattern, their potential and aptitude seemed weaker.

Of course, in the vast universe, there were those who were mediocre initially but soared later.

But the probability was too small; most were slow at every step.

If you’re already behind others, how can you dream of surpassing them later?

But for Golden Pattern Challengers, they deserved a closer look, as every challenger at this level was considered exceptional.

Out of the 120,000 life planets in the Dawn Star System, there were just over a hundred Golden Pattern Challengers, almost one out of every thousand life planets.

“Ka Wu, you have comprehended the role of light, somewhat similar to this Lin Yuan. Why not recruit him in advance?”

A deeply voiced figure inquired.

“I’ll watch a bit longer.”

Ka Wu, being the tenth disciple of the Star Lord and having just stepped into the Sixth Rank, naturally did not dare to partake when the other figures chose their disciples.

However, selecting a disciple was quite significant,

it wasn’t just about recruiting a disciple and then ignoring them,

you also needed to personally guide them and even plan their future training routes based on their evolution path.

So, Ka Wu was quite cautious, preferring to abstain rather than just choosing anyone.

“Let’s wait until the Fourth Star Cave and the Seventh Star Cave.”

After observing for a while, Ka Wu spoke.

In the Seven Star Cave challenges, the Fourth Star Cave and the Seventh Star Cave were the most special.

They were difficult yet easy at the same time.

Because these two caves tested one’s intuitive understanding.

Ka Wu decided to watch for Lin Yuan’s intuitive power before making a decision.

…

Second Star Cave.

Lin Yuan’s thought was shared by other Golden Pattern Challengers.

Even those three Red Pattern Evolvers chose not to immediately challenge the transparent passage.
