528 One Hundred Steps Staircase (2/2)
As long as you can defeat yourself, you can proceed with another step forward.
Each step would induce a new illusion!
And this is what the third segment, Hidden Spring, is all about!
“Illusion? Another self?” Su Hao’s heart was a little surprised.
This method reminded him of the ability talent test during the college entrance exam. Except it was conducted with a virtual machine during the college entrance exam, but now it happened in reality!
Perhaps the college entrance exam was actually modeled based on this exam of Zhanzheng College?
Su Hao pondered.
This is the road of ability talent!
And it’s different from the previous two.
If the difference between basic and specialized esper was emphasized in the first two segments, then the third segment clearly gave professional espers an advantage!
After all, it was to access one’s ability talent!
An illusion of oneself, the illusion would have the exact same ability talent. Under this condition, there is only one way to proceed forward which is to surpass yourself!
Energy breakthrough?
Physical breakthrough?
Impossible!
While in an illusion, the only possibility to breakthrough is your own ability talent!
Only by breaking through in ability talent can one suppress their other self! Of course, since this was just an entrance exam, it shouldn’t be that hard.
Su Hao took a step forward.
The valley was sloped, and the distance wasn’t far from the entrance to the center. However, due to the height, it was impossible to see its peak.
The sloped mountain route is like a staircase.
“This place is called One Hundred Steps Staircase.” Huang Ziming gave an introduction, “Students use it to hone their ability talent and assess their talent. Of course, you don’t have to climb up now. What you have to do here is… persist!”
“Persist?”
“Yes, persist.” Huang Ziming continued, “The content of this segment is to measure how long you can hold on at the first step! Now, you can give it a shot!”
“Is it that difficult?” Li Xin mumbled to himself.
Taking his step forward...
_Boom!_
Li Xin was flung out.
Everyone was stunned.
Damn!
That is a bit too quick!
Although Li Xin is an idiot, his strength is still respectable. To be able to destroy the mountain peak, how can an average people compare to him?
Even with such strength, he couldn’t preserve for a second?
“What happened?” Huang Ziming asked.
“Uh...” Li Xin scratched his head awkwardly, “That grandson instantly used a ten times critical hit!”
_Pu~_
The crowd couldn’t help laugh.
Ten times...
It turned out that Li Xin wasn’t the only one who is lucky. Even his illusion is fortunate.
However, this Li Xin didn’t realize that he was mocking himself when he called his other self a grandson.
“ _Uh~ hm~_.” Huang Ziming coughed and interrupted the crowd’s laughter, “Alright, all of you can try it yourselves.”
“Let me try! Let me try!”
“I’m coming too!”
Everyone curiously climbed up the staircase. A moment later, many people were launched out.
Five seconds, ten seconds, that was their limit.
However, a few of the stronger students were actually the fastest ones to be eliminated. What amazed them was that some of the weaker ones were able to persist for a minute.
Sure enough, this test is purely based on ability talent!
Energy and physical strength were all useless here!
Chen Yiran stepped forward and was able to persist for two minutes. As for Zhou Wang, he was able to hold on longer than three minutes! As for Li Tiantian...
Su Hao raised his head up and had a glance.
This brat was in a daze!
On the staircase, Li Tiantian just stood there lazily on the first step without any signs of battle. Su Hao couldn’t help think that this illusion of Li Tiantian might be as lazy as the owner. It would end up with two lazy guys fighting against each other...
Very soon, everyone withdrew.
Only Li Tiantian was still persisting from the beginning to now.
At this time, Tian Zi stared at Su Hao and then stepped forward. As for Huang Ziming, he began to measure the time silently.
