Shi Li took a deep breath after he recalled what happened to him. He was stuck in an illusion for a few hours before realizing that his interface worked even in his soul state, allowing him to use his mental energy to break through the illusion.
He was extremely confused as to what happened, with some of his memories blurry, but what the tower said after this second test confused him even more.
”Congratulations to the cultivator for achieving Perfect score by escaping the illusion in 20 minutes.”
”20 minutes have passed?” Shi Li was truly perplexed to the point he asked the interface for answers. Since the interface was there, how could he not use it?
~~~~~~~~
Answering User's question, the reason why the tower announced that you have escaped the illusion within 20 minutes is because, the ratio of time between reality and illusion is 1:10. This means that for every 1 minute in reality, 10 minutes in the illusion pass. That's why you felt that it took you a few hours to escape the illusion.
- Nonpareil Eye Interface

Shi Li's confusion was slightly removed after reading the interface's explanation, but he remembered the skill he received while he was in the illusion.
”What's [Illusion Resistance]?” he muttered.
Even though he read the description in the illusion and he remembered his thought process, he couldn't really recall what happened in the illusion quite well.
~~~~~~~~
[Illusion Resistance]
A skill given to those gifted in the mind. With enough of an abundance in mental energy, one can use their strong mental energy to differentiate between illusion and reality, thus allowing the person to exit illusions faster compared to normal people.
~~~~~~~~
'Hmm...so that means that I have more mental energy compared to other cultivators. Does that mean that other people's mental energy don't increase like mine?' Shi Li hypothesized. He forgot that he thought up of this in the illusion as well.
...
Shi clan, in an unknown space in the Shi Trial Tower.
The being's eyes continued to glow light blue as it looked at the screen that focused on Shi Li. It heard Shi Li's conversation and saw its interaction with the interface it had.
It was quite surprised to see that Shi Li was able to calm himself and understand his situation within seconds, which was definitely a good skill that would help him in the future.
”Kekeke. Since this seedling right here has been awakened by that person, then I'll just have to speed up the interface's maturity.”
The being tapped multiple times on the air, which for some reason emitted light as this light headed towards Shi Li's screen not long after.
This being then chuckled a bit as it had a brilliant idea.
”After this trial, I'll give him something special.”
”Shi Li, you're truly interesting.”
...
A few seconds after Shi Li realized his current situation, the tower continued to speak.
”After adjusting the rewards to the cultivator's level, the cultivator shall be rewarded with a Middle Earth grade martial technique of the lava element, and a special item.”
Shi Li's eyes glinted as two beams of light were shot, with each beam hitting one of Shi Li's palm. After a while, these two beams of light disappeared, revealing two things on Shi Li's palms.
On Shi Li's left palm was a book that looked like it came from a ruins from long ago. On his right palm was a yellow stone.
Shi Li looked at the two items he received and felt that the technique was more interesting than the stone. At the instant he wanted to identify the technique with his interface, the yellow stone was gradually being assimilated into his body.
