Chapter 1160: Chapter 479: Defying Fate! Heart Acupoint Trial!
On the plaza there were more than a dozen Light Gates, with Trial Takers coming in one after another.
At this moment, tens of thousands of people had gathered on the plaza.
It turned out that the Heart Acupoint Trial was open for everyone to participate.
At this time, sighs and complaints continued to be heard from the crowd, as most people’s results were not ideal.
Wang Teng looked ahead again, where there was a row of massive white staircases, each spanning thousands of meters wide and hundreds of meters high.
Those white steps ascended higher and higher, seemingly having nine hundred and ninety-nine steps, reaching straight into the sky.
At the top of the staircase sat a massive Golden Divine Stele, inscribed with a line of Divine Rune.
From below the stairs, people couldn’t see the content on it at all.
Only by reaching the top could they get a full view of the stele’s true form.
Actually, the staircase before the eyes was the Trial Land of the Heart Acupoint.
Each level of the staircase was set with invisible restrictions.
These restrictions did not belong to any kind of Law, but rather a pure Innate Dao Rhyme force.
Trial Takers must comprehend the Dao Rhyme within to break the restrictions and climb higher.
Wang Teng estimated that on the 1st Floor, tens of thousands of people were sitting and comprehending.
On the 2nd Floor, there were only more than thirty thousand!
On the 3rd Floor, there were less than ten thousand!
The further up the staircase, the fewer the people who could reach it.
By the time they reached the seventy-seventh floor, only three or four people remained.
Wang Teng took a deep breath and walked towards the 1st Floor.
He wanted to score over 2500 Points, but he didn’t know which floor he needed to challenge.
Boom~! Boom~! Boom~!
Just then, an ethereal mechanical voice came from within his sea of consciousness...
[Welcome Trial Taker to the Heart Acupoint Trial——Celestial Ladder Space]
[The rules for this trial are as follows]
[Trial Takers must comprehend the Dao Rhyme on each stair level within 1 hour; failure to comprehend results in losing further trial qualification]
[Each stair passed grants the Trial Taker 1 point]
[Comprehending within five minutes doubles the Points gained, earning 2 points]
[Comprehending within one minute triples the Points gained, earning 3 points]
[In this trial, all Time Force Fields are ineffective]
[In this trial, all Spirit Pills are ineffective]
[Points accumulate, and every 100 points grants extra rewards]
After listening to the prompt, Wang Teng became even more tense.
It turned out that this trial was purely personal; all external aids were ineffective.
Moreover, to achieve a good result, it seemed he had to conquer all 999 steps.
Where there’s a will, there’s a way; he could certainly create a miracle.
Thinking this, Wang Teng wasted no time and strided towards the 1st Floor.
The 1st Floor was half a meter above the plaza, easily reachable with a single step.
Between the stairs and the plaza was a transparent Light Curtain.
Passing through the Light Curtain would automatically initiate the trial.
At this moment, Wang Teng looked through the Light Curtain towards the 1st Floor.
He saw that the staircase resembled a gigantic plaza, with tens of thousands of Trial Takers sitting cross-legged, all striving to comprehend the Dao Rhyme.
The expressions on those Trial Takers were diverse and vivid.
Some furrowed their brows, some sweated from their foreheads, some gritted their teeth, some had joyful faces...
"Young man, are you here to take the trial?"
At this moment, the voice of an elder sounded beside Wang Teng.
He turned to see a white-haired elder greeting him.
Beside the elder were several Trial Takers.
These people looked at the situation within the Light Curtain with a worried expression.
Wang Teng slightly nodded: "Indeed!"
The elder took a deep breath: "Young friend, the difficulty of this Heart Acupoint Trial is immense. Why not join us in observing those in trial, so we can brainstorm together for strategies to face it."
"We are all knowledgeable, and exchanging our insights would greatly benefit the trial!"
Upon hearing this, everyone nodded.
It turned out they didn’t dare to easily enter the trial and were observing from outside, exchanging experiences.
Seeing Wang Teng’s determination to enter, they couldn’t resist coming to invite him.
They thought that Wang Teng, being younger than them, would naturally have less developed Heart Acupoints.
Even they dared not enter the trial lightly, yet Wang Teng was so bold, seemingly unaware of its gravity.
Wang Teng knew their invitation was well-intentioned.
However, he didn’t have that kind of time.
He then smiled slightly: "Thank you for the advice, but I’ll try it first!"
With those words, he walked towards the Light Curtain.
Seeing Wang Teng ignoring their advice and heading directly towards the Trial Area.
The few people shook their heads slightly, feeling a bit speechless.
After that, they muttered quietly among themselves.
"We advised him kindly, but he didn’t seem to care!"
"Youngsters are always proud and ambitious!"
"Hehe~! Does pride alone allow one to pass the trial? This trial isn’t one that just anyone can pass."
"Indeed! I bet he can’t even earn 1 point!"
"Haha, let’s wait and see!"
In the crowd, their tone was playful.
In reality, there are always people who enjoy seeing others in awkward situations.
Their murmuring was naturally heard by Wang Teng.
He slightly smirked, disinclined to engage, and stepped into the Light Curtain, entering the 1st Floor.
As Wang Teng stepped onto the 1st Floor, the ethereal mechanical voice sounded again in his sea of consciousness...
[Prompt: Trial Taker Wang Teng has stepped onto the 1st Floor; the Heart Acupoint Trial will automatically begin in 3 seconds. Trial Taker, please prepare yourself...]
The trial is about to begin!
Wang Teng raised his head to look at the sky.
His strange action drew astonished looks from several surrounding Trial Takers who were engrossed in comprehension.
