C166

Qing Xue Niang was the second one to go up. She drew number 1 and was also sucked in as she got closer to number 1.

Then Zhong Huan, Gate Four.

Mu Xiaoling was the last one and logically, only the sixth door remained unopened. She reached into the box and was about to grab the ball when she suddenly felt that there was something else in the box.

The item was very long, and it was located in a corner. It was very hard to attract attention to.

Mu Xiaoling was quite curious as well. She took out the item and realized that it was actually a pitch-black item that looked like a chopstick.

At this moment, the box disappeared and a row of words appeared in the air — Mu Xiaoling's 8th Gate.

Gate Eight?

Mu Xiaoling was puzzled. There were only seven doors here. Where did the eighth one come from?

Just at that moment, a door appeared out of thin air. There was a single word written on it: "Eight".

Mu Xiaoling walked over and the door slowly opened, revealing a passageway that led downwards. The passageway was dark and one could not see anything.

Mu Xiaoling didn't hesitate as she took the first step and stepped on a flight of stairs. Then, a pressure suddenly descended upon her as if she was carrying two bags of rice on her shoulder.

The weight was nothing to her. She descended a few more steps, but before she could take one step down, the weight on her shoulders doubled. Gradually, even she felt the strain.

By the time she reached the middle, she felt that her body was almost there.

However, reaching the peak didn't mean he had reached his limit. Mu Xiaoling almost couldn't stand straight anymore as sweat dripped down her face. The veins on her forehead tightened as she raised her body again.

Mu Xiaoling spat out a mouthful of blood as she felt the pressure. She clenched her teeth and forcefully lifted her leg again.

There were five steps.

Three more.

Two...

At this moment, Mu Xiaoling could hear her bones cracking as though they were going to break in the next moment. She could even feel a kind of fear and couldn't go any further. If the pressure was doubled, she would be crushed to death.

A great fear enveloped her.

However, the more they feared, the more afraid they would be. This sort of feeling would only cause people to stagnate forever, and only those who dared to face fear would be able to welcome glory.

Mu Xiaoling tightly closed her eyes and when she opened them again, all that was left was perseverance as she walked to the last step. However, the pressure she had anticipated did not come. Instead, her entire body abruptly relaxed as all of the pressure on her disappeared.

A voice that sounded like a machine suddenly appeared. "Congratulations, you have passed the examination, taking fifteen minutes, and your score is one hundred percent, and you have achieved a perfect score in half an hour, and in one hour you have achieved eighty points, and in six hours you have achieved sixty points. You have failed the trial more than six hours.

The voice even explained the scoring mechanism, which was quite convincing.

Mu Xiaoling meditated for a moment to adjust her breathing before standing up and continuing to walk forward.

In front of him was a long corridor. On both sides of the corridor, there were torches stuck into the corridor, brightening it up.

Mu Xiaoling walked on until she reached the end of the corridor where she saw countless mirrors.

One side of the mirror was connected to the other, and it was embedded into the walls and ceiling on both sides of the mirror.

The voice spoke again: "Second stage, Mirror Labyrinth."

The maze was already a headache, and with the addition of the mirror, the difficulty had increased even further. But was the mirror maze merely like this?

Mu Xiaoling felt suspicious as she cautiously stepped into the maze. The moment she stepped into it, it was as though she was in another world and her surroundings were her reflection. It was impossible to tell which way was the exit.

Mu Xiaoling felt her way through the mirror and slowly moved forward. Behind her, her figure flashed a strange smile as a long arm emerged from the mirror and shot toward Mu Xiaoling's heart.

Mu Xiaoling had already prepared herself for this and the Spirit Abyss appeared in her hand in a flash. When she came back to her senses, she easily cut off her arm like cutting vegetables.

When that thing failed, it would immediately retreat and disappear.

Gu Xiu said, "Master, that's devils and spirits."

Mu Xiaoling, on the other hand, knew this name. She didn't know if the devils and spirits of this world and the devils she knew were the same. "Chimei?"

Gu Xiu said, "Chimei is a magic beast too, but this kind of magic beast is very small in size and is very cunning and bloodthirsty. It would be fine if it was normal, but with this kind of environment, it's not easy to deal with."

Mu Xiaoling was silent for a moment. "What are you afraid of?"

"I'm afraid of salt, but I love death the most," replied Gu Xiu.

An idea immediately popped up in Mu Xiaoling's mind. "If this is the case, then Jiang Feng will use the death aura to lure them out. Then, we will sprinkle salt on them and destroy their illusions. Naturally, a good team will be formed."

Jiang Feng nodded, "Alright."

Mu Xiaoling immediately found a spacious area. She then summoned Jiang Feng and placed him in the middle with a bunch of death aura. Then, the two of them hid their eyes in a corner.

Not long after that, a rustling sound could be heard as a large number of strange looking small beasts ran over from all directions, ecstatically absorbing the death aura. When Mu Xiaoling and Jiang Feng saw that it was about time, they immediately threw out all the salt in their hands and threw it out from the bags.

A high-pitched voice that sounded like a woman's shriek came from the surroundings, and in the blink of an eye, all of them ran away.

Jiang Feng was about to make a move, but Mu Xiaoling stopped him, "It doesn't matter. This is a trial, they won't be real. Let's rush out while we can't change."

Jiang Feng naturally agreed with his master.

It was much easier for two people to find an exit than it was for one person. Furthermore, they didn't have to worry about getting ambushed, so they quickly found an exit and left the maze.

At this time, a robotic voice sounded out once more, "Congratulations for passing the trial. For one hour, the score will be set at one hundred percent. For four hours, the score will be perfect, and for six hours, it will be eighty points, for one day, sixty points. For more than one day, you have failed to complete the trial.

Mu Xiaoling, on the other hand, didn't expect that there were actually points in this matter. It seemed that he had to figure out many of the rules here.

Not far from the maze of mirrors was a stone door.

The voice once again rang out, "Third stage, persevere for fifteen minutes and don't die."

Jiang Feng had already returned to the Beast Repellent Space, and Mu Xiaoling was by herself at this moment. After she heard this, she pushed open the stone door and walked in.

This was an extremely large stone room. In the center of the stone room stood a person. That person held a long sword in his hand. His face was as perfect as a carving, and his aura was intimidating.

Mu Xiaoling couldn't help twitching his mouth as he subconsciously asked, "Xiao Yu?"
