Wu Tower, the second floor, the third pass.
Passing through the arrow corridor of the second level, Zhang Ruochen stepped on the hard ground and came to the third level.
Pushing open the iron gate of the third level, a pool of one foot square appeared in front of my eyes, and beside the pool stood a translucent and crystal clear jade tablet. A line of words appeared on the jade tablet: "Count the number of ripples in the pool, and the error should not exceed ten ripples."
"Counting ripples, what do you mean?"
Before Zhang Ruochen could react, he heard the sound of falling into the water.
"Boom!"
From the top of the pool, a silver coin fell and landed on the calm surface of the pool.
In the pool, circles of ripples immediately appeared, surging from the center to the edge of the pool.
Although Zhang Ruochen didn't understand the meaning of this level, he still stared at the water surface and counted the number of ripples, "One, two, three..."
The ripples become thinner and weaker, making them more difficult to observe.
"This is a test of the warrior's mental strength, observation, judgment, and willpower!"
Zhang Ruochen's eyes became more and more dry, even a little stinging, but he still stared at the surface of the pool and did not look away.
It seems to be a very simple thing, but it contains martial arts.
First of all, spiritual power. If the mental power is not strong enough, the subtle changes in the ripples will not be seen at all.
Second, observation. Only those with keen observation ability can see every ripple clearly. Because, after the ripples spread out from the center, they hit the iron wall by the pool, and then began to rush in the opposite direction, affecting the warrior's observation to a certain extent. People who are not observant enough will definitely get flustered when the water lines surge back, and thus lose in this level.
Third, judgment. As the ripples became weaker and weaker, it even seemed that the water surface was completely calm. This time is the time to test the warrior's judgment. When is the water really calm?
Fourth, willpower. In the case of a high degree of concentration, there are still counting the number of ripples, and people's eyes are very easy to get tired. People without willpower cannot persist until the water surface is completely calm.
About fifteen minutes later, the water finally calmed down.
Zhang Ruochen's eyes were burning hot, so he closed his eyes and let his eyes rest for a while: "Fortunately, I have developed eye veins, and my eyesight is far superior to that of warriors of the same realm. Moreover, my mental power is strong, reaching the thirtieth rank and above, and I can Clearly distinguish every ripple. This level is not too difficult for me!"
Zhang Ruochen walked up to the jade tablet, picked up an inscription pen on the ground, and carved a number on the jade tablet.
Two thousand seven hundred and sixty-five water patterns!
"Wow!"
A white light appeared on the surface of the jade tablet, and a line of words appeared:
Two thousand seven hundred and sixty-five water patterns, zero error. pass.
Zhang Ruochen smiled lightly, "Sure enough, it's the same as what I observed. However, this level is still quite abnormal. No wonder so many people can't pass this level. This is a test of the overall quality of warriors!"
"boom!"
The door leading to the third floor of Wuta opened.
Zhang Ruochen walked straight in, climbed up the stairs step by step, and came to the third floor of the Wuta.
The tower light on the third floor of the Wuta was lit.
At this moment, the young warriors and nine elders outside the Wuta were alarmed again.
Eight of the ten warriors who entered the Wuta together with Zhang Ruochen had already retreated. Only Xie Zhaowu from Sifang County and Zhang Ruochen from Yunwu County were still in the Wuta.
"Another person broke through the second level and the third level, and entered the third level of the Martial Tower. Who would it be?"
"It must be Xie Zhaowu from Sifang Commandery."
"Yes! It must be Xie Zhaowu! Although Xie Zhaowu's reputation is not as good as that of Prince Huo Xing and Qing You, he is still a genius at the lowest level of the Black Realm. How can he be mediocre at such a young age? generation?"
No one would think that Zhang Ruochen passed the third level of the second floor. After all, Zhang Ruochen was too young, only sixteen years old, and he was only in the middle of the Xuanji Realm.
Even Elder Situ nodded lightly, and said: "Xie Zhaowu must have hidden his strength before, and he just wanted to wait until Wuta breaks through the barrier to become a blockbuster. If this son has such a heart, he will definitely have a lot of achievements in the future." Achievement."
The other eight elders all had cold faces, and they really didn't want to see Elder Situ's complacent look.
Elder Situ is the guide of the warriors from the Sifang Commandery, the better the performance of the warriors from the Sifang Commandery, the more rewards Elder Situ will receive.
Seeing the tower lights on the third floor, Elder Situ was of course very happy, and couldn't help but feel complacent.
But the next moment, the expression on Elder Situ's face froze.
"Squeak!"
The gate of the Wu Tower opened, and Xie Zhaowu walked out of the gate dejectedly.
Xie Zhaowu raised his head slightly, just in time to see the nine elders staring at him with wide-eyed eyes, which surprised him and made him take a step back in fright.
What happened?
Elder Situ immediately went up to meet him and asked, "Xie Zhaowu, how many levels have you passed?"
Seeing Elder Situ's domineering look, Xie Zhaowu was so frightened that he took a step back again. After steadying his footsteps, he said in a trembling voice: "Reporting to Elder, I passed the second level of the second level. It failed at the third level. Elder Situ, what happened?"
Elder Situ's complexion immediately turned into a pig's liver color, and he was even a little annoyed. He shouted: "Since you have failed in the third level of the second floor, why does the tower light on the third floor of the Wuta light up?"
"What? The tower light on the third floor of the Wu Tower is on?" Xie Zhaowu was even more surprised than Elder Situ.
Elder Xie, who was standing not far away, laughed loudly and said, "Elder Situ, you must know that there is still a young warrior in the martial tower. Since Xie Zhaowu failed, it must be that young warrior who passed the second place." The third level of the layer."
"The Ninth Prince of Yunwu Commandery, Zhang Ruochen."
At this moment, everyone finally reacted, and they couldn't help showing a shocked look.
If a warrior in the middle stage of the Xuanji Realm can also pass the third level of the second floor of the Martial Tower, that would be incredible!
Only Zi Qian was the calmest present, because no one knew Zhang Ruochen's strength better than her. It would be strange if Zhang Ruochen didn't pass the second level and the third level.
"You back down!" Elder Situ gave Xie Zhaowu a hard look, and then said, "Come here, send Zhang Ruochen's information to this elder."
Elder Situ still didn't believe that a warrior in the middle of the Black Realm could break through the third level of the second floor, and wanted to check this Zhang Ruochen.
Not long after, a disciple from the outer palace sent Zhang Ruochen's information to Elder Situ.
"How can it be?"
After seeing Zhang Ruochen's information, Elder Situ was so shocked that his eyes almost jumped out of their sockets.
The other eight elders showed curiosity. What's so great about Zhang Ruochen's information? How could Elder Situ be shocked like that?
"Calm down! Calm down! Elder Situ, you are quite old, and you should learn not to be surprised. How can the information of a mere young genius make you so shocked?" Elder Xie laughed.
Elder Situ's expression turned serious, and he said, "Don't make sarcastic remarks, come and see for yourself."
The eight elders looked at each other and walked over, all looking at Zhang Ruochen's information.
After reading it, the expressions of the eight elders became exactly the same as that of Elder Situ, and they were so shocked that they could not speak for a long time.
"The mark of divine martial arts was opened at the age of sixteen, and it has only been cultivated for less than a year, right? In less than a year of cultivation, you have reached the middle stage of the Xuanji Realm?"
"Look here, after only half a year of cultivation, you have become a warrior on the yellow list, ranking first on the yellow list. My God! What kind of amazing talent is this?"
Although Elder Xie was the guide of young warriors from Yunwu Commandery, he hadn't read Zhang Ruochen's information before.
At this moment, it was the first time Elder Xie saw Zhang Ruochen's information, and he cursed, "Liu Chuanshen, that bastard, why didn't you tell me in advance that Zhang Ruochen is such a monster? What a pity! What a pity!"
Elder Xie was of course quite depressed, and his guts were green with regret. If he had known Zhang Ruochen's talent was so high, he would have accepted Zhang Ruochen as his disciple in advance on the way to welcome Zhang Ruochen to Wushi Academy.
Now, it's too late!
A genius with such a high talent will definitely be accepted as a personal disciple by the dean of the West Academy, and it is not his turn at all.
Elder Xie scolded all eighteen generations of Liu Chuanshen's ancestors.
Liu Chengfeng stood not far away, with a displeasure expression on his face, and muttered in a low voice, "Uncle Xie is always gentle and refined, why did he suddenly yell at my father? Forget it, he is an elder, I don't care. Compete with him."
Liu Chengfeng was also quite depressed.
...
Zhang Ruochen walked into the first pass on the third floor of the Martial Tower, and came to a closed martial arts field, which was very similar to the first pass on the first floor and the first pass on the second floor.
"Wow!"
On the stone wall, Luo Xu's spiritual body came out again.
Luo Xu glanced at Zhang Ruochen and said with a smile: "There is no need to fight this level! You have already passed the first level on the second floor!"
Zhang Ruochen could see that Luo Xu's aura was still at the late stage of the Black Realm, so he asked, "How many tricks do I need to catch seniors to pass this level?"
"Three moves." Luo Xu said.
Luo Xu's first move is 20% strength, the second move is 30% strength, and the third move is 40% strength.
As long as you catch Luo Xu's three moves, you can pass the first level of the third floor.
You know, when Zhang Ruochen was in the first level of the second floor, he took all of Luo Xu's nine moves. Therefore, there is no need to fight this level, just pass it directly.
Zhang Ruochen stared at Luo Xu and said, "I have a question in my mind!"
"I can answer a question for you." Luo Xu smiled.
Zhang Ruochen said: "For four hundred and sixty years in the West Academy, you are the most powerful warrior in the middle stage of the Black Realm, and you are the most powerful fighter in the late stage of the Black Realm. Are you the strongest in the seven realms of the Black Realm?" By?"
Luo Xu said: "Before you appeared, it was true. But after you appeared, I believe you will replace me in every realm and become the new gatekeeper of Wuta."
After finishing speaking, Luo Xu's body turned into wisps of spiritual energy and disappeared into the training ground.
Zhang Ruochen smiled lightly, and walked towards the second level on the third floor.
