âYouâre right.â Lou Qianxue looked at Hong Qinghe and the others behind her, then nodded and said. âEveryone will face challenges. We can help them deal with some of the challenges, but they have to do some alone... Letâs go.â
Both of them then went up the third flight of stairs.
On the third level of the tower.
The road had disappeared.
Instead, cliffs appeared in front of them. Pieces of stones vaguely appeared between the cliffs.
âStepping on stones to cross the cliffs?â Lou Qianxue was stunned.
âThose stones are disappearing too quickly. If we step in the air...â Chu Pengfei frowned.
âIs this level a test of speed?â
The two of them looked at the surroundings. Sure enough, they soon saw the word âspeedâ engraved on the wall of the cliff opposite them.
âThis isnât hard for me.â The corners of Lou Qianxueâs mouth curled up as she became eager to try.
âSecond Young Master, Iâll make a move first.â
At the next moment, she kicked her feet and leaped toward the stone.
âGlimpse of Floating Light!â
Whoosh!
She instantly appeared on the second piece of stone.
âStorm Intent!â
Whish! Whish! Whish!
Lou Qianxue moved like a phantom. In just the blink of an eye, she reached the opposite side.
âY-your... Your speed...â Chu Pengfei watched until his eyeballs nearly popped out. âYouâre too fast.â
âTry it too.â Lou Qianxue turned around and looked at him from the opposite side.
Chu Pengfei nodded.
He then leaped up and safely landed on the first piece of stone.
When he came to the second piece of stone, he wanted to stabilize himself. However, before he could do that, the stone below his feet suddenly disappeared.
âAhââ Chu Pengfei shouted in shock.
However...
Everything became blurry in front of him, and he returned to the shore at the very beginning.
â... So I didnât fall to the bottom of the cliff. I was so frightened. I thought that I would fall to death.â
Lou Qianxue could not control herself from chuckling. âThe Imperial academy has set the rule that students are not allowed to kill one another within the academy premises. So how can they let a student die at the trials?â
Lou Qianxue shook her head, then said, âContinue with it. Keep going and come over soon. Iâll take a look in front first.â
â...â Chu Pengfei depressingly looked at Lou Qianxueâs back. When I saw her crossing it so relaxedly, I thought that it was very easy. Who would have known that... Sigh, with this speed, I wonât be able to chase up with my future wife.
This wonât do! I have to show my true self! Father told me that I have to display my capabilities in front of women at all times in order to move their hearts... I must let Big Sister Qianxue see my impressiveness!
Lou Qianxue was extremely relaxed. As she stepped on the Glimpse of Floating Light, she shortly reached the fourth level.
It was a quiet corridor.
âHuh? What is this?â
Lou Qianxue raised her eyebrows and walked up.
After some time...
Hong Qinghe and the others arrived at the third level and coincidentally saw Chu Pengfeiâs figure crossing the cliff.
âSo fast!â
âHeâs indeed Second Young Master! But this time, the trial tests our speed?â
âSpeed... Oh gosh, how fast do we have to be?â
The people who were confident of their speed became eager to try it.
However, the moment they stepped on the stone, they fell!
âThis... Is this fit for people to cross?â
âThe stones are disappearing so quickly. Second Young Master is really impressive. He crossed them so easily!â
âSecond Young Master is indeed impressive, so itâs very normal for him to cross it, but Lou Qianxue has also crossed it. Sheâs really amazing.â
âYes!!! Even Lou Qianxue can cross it, why canât we?â
Everyone glanced at one another. At the next moment, they crazily and swiftly swept toward the shore.
However...
They failed again and again...
After a long time...
Someone finally admitted defeat. âThis speed is my limit. Looks like I wonât be able to pass this trial. I give up on the trial!â
He shouted.
At the next moment.
A white light flickered, and he disappeared...
âHeâs out!ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
The rest of them also wavered.
