Qin Hao activated the Life Simulator function.
[Ding: Do you wish to spend 100,000 Great Dao Crystals for Life Simulation?]
[Ding: 100,000 Great Dao Crystals deducted. Entering the Life Simulator...]
[Ding: Life Simulation begins. Simulation ends upon host's death.]
Upon entering the Life Simulation, Qin Hao arrived at the third level of the Nine-Layer Immortal Pagoda.
As before, they were immediately attacked with darts.
Having gained some understanding this time, Qin Hao focused all his attention on perceiving Dark-Type energy.
Sure enough, he sensed a slight energy fluctuation, but it wasn't Dark-Type energy.
This greatly surprised Qin Hao, but it also made him realize something.
That's why, in the last Life Simulation, when Dai Jun, Song Xing, and Bai Bing were going through the challenges, Song Xing, as a powerful user of Dark-Type Superpower, didn't notice the old man's Dark-Type energy fluctuations.
So that's how it is. The old man wasn't using Dark-Type energy to hide in the shadows at all; he was using Spatial Type energy to hide in Different-Dimensional Space.
Having dodged the attack of the hidden weapon, this thought instantly popped into Qin Hao's mind.
This is only possible because Qin Hao possesses a Legendary Rank Spatial Ability; otherwise, he would never have been able to detect it.
Unlike Dark-Type Superpower, Spatial Abilities, as supreme abilities, are incredibly powerful.
Like this old man, using Spatial Abilities to hide in Different Space is far more effective than using Dark-Type Superpower to conceal oneself in the shadows.
Even if you can detect the location of fluctuations in Spatial Type energy, you still cannot determine the old man's actual location.
The old man could easily enter the Different Space from the left and then suddenly emerge from the right to attack you.
What's even more terrifying is that the old man can appear directly behind you and kill you instantly.
Just like in the last Life Simulation, Qin Hao stared at the old man, only to have the old man vanish instantly and reappear, grabbing him by the back of the collar.
This is extremely difficult and unsolvable; it's practically impossible to complete the level. It's just too hard, unless Qin Hao also possesses the ability to hide in Different Space.
Alternatively, if Qin Hao possessed a Black Hole-Type Ability like Austin's, he might have a chance of winning.
Thinking of this, Qin Hao had already given up hope of being able to pass the level.
As before, Qin Hao killed the robot and then sat down on the ground.
Of course, even though there was no hope, Qin Hao was still unwilling to give up; he wanted to clear the level.
Although the old man is extraordinary, I possess a system that allows me to Life Simulation and learn from mistakes.
So Qin Hao pretended to relax his guard and then sat down on the ground to rest.
Sure enough, a spatial energy fluctuation appeared behind him.
Qin Hao instantly unleashed Time Slow, Time Stasis, Ice Seal, Ice Cone, Iron Cages, and also applied Time Acceleration to himself, along with the ability of Wind Wings.
That's how Qin Hao dodged the fatal blow, but he still injured his shoulder.
Looking at the old man again, he had just been freed from the control skill and was now staring at Qin Hao.
Although this was a Life Simulation, Qin Hao was still terrified.
Just as Qin Hao braced himself for death, the old man burst into laughter and said, "Hahaha, little fellow, you're quite good; you actually managed to dodge my attack."
After the old man finished speaking, he disappeared.
Qin Hao's heart skipped a beat as he suddenly sensed fluctuations in spatial energy behind him, so he quickly turned around.
Instead of the old man appearing, a hand was placed on Qin Hao's shoulder.
"Haha, kid, I wasn't wrong, you have Spatial Abilities, right!"
Qin Hao felt a chill run down his spine, thinking that this old geezer was wicked and should just kill him quickly instead of scaring him like this.
Thinking of this, Qin Hao took out a dagger, preparing to commit suicide and end the Life Simulation. He would come back to the third level when he was stronger.
Just then, the old man suddenly said, "Congratulations, challenger, you have successfully passed the challenge!"
Hearing this, Qin Hao's eyes widened, because his dagger was already stuck in his throat.
Yes, he committed suicide.
It was all because the old man spoke too slowly. When the old man turned around, he was shocked and bewildered to see that Qin Hao had already committed suicide.
[Ding: Life Simulation Ended]
Upon waking up, Qin Hao cursed inwardly, wishing the old man's ancestors could be cursed to the last eighteen generations.
"Phew! This old geezer, Laozi could have just told me I beat the game, why did you have to scare Laozi like this!"
Without saying much, Qin Hao went straight to the third floor.
Just like in the Life Simulation, Qin Hao solved the robot problem, then pretended to sit on the ground to rest.
On the surface, they were resting, but in reality, they were carefully sensing the fluctuations in spatial energy.
This isn't Life Simulation; if you die, you really die.
Therefore, he couldn't be careless and Qin Hao was completely focused.
Just as in the simulation, the old man suddenly appeared behind him.
Because of his previous experience, Qin Hao perfectly avoided the attacks this time, without sustaining any injuries.
Just like in the simulation, the old man stared at Qin Hao with a look of surprise.
Because of the Life Simulation, Qin Hao knew this.
At this moment, I have already completed the game.
But this old geezer still wanted to test me and then scare me.
Sure enough, the old man disappeared again, first appearing behind Qin Hao with spatial energy fluctuations, and then reappearing behind him after Qin Hao turned around.
Because he was prepared, the old man was almost injured by Qin Hao's dagger this time.
The old man instantly distanced himself from Qin Hao, then looked at Qin Hao with even greater surprise.
"Oh my, little guy, not bad! It's like you knew I'd do this all along?"
Qin Hao then asked, "Old man, have I cleared the game?"
Upon hearing this, the old man immediately smiled and said, "Congratulations, challenger, you have successfully passed the challenge!"
As soon as the old man finished speaking, a familiar notification sound rang in Qin Hao's mind.
"Congratulations, challenger! You have successfully completed the challenge and received your reward!"
Immediately afterwards, a golden light flashed in his hand, and a golden card appeared in Qin Hao's hand, which read "Cultivate in the training room for 3 hours".
Only then did Qin Hao breathe a sigh of relief.
"Little guy, I didn't expect you to have awakened Spatial Ability. Not bad, not bad!"
The old man teleported around in all Teleportation, carefully examining Qin Hao.
To be honest, Qin Hao still felt a chill run down his spine after the old man's actions.
"Ahem, old man, what are you doing? I've already finished the game, why are you staring at me like that?"
"Hey, little guy, that's rude of you. Who are you calling 'old man'? I am the guardian of the third level of the Nine-Layer Immortal Pagoda, with the strength of Martial Venerable Fourth Stage. You should at least call me 'senior'!"
Upon hearing this, Qin Hao's eyelids twitched.
Martial Venerable Fourth Stage expert, and Spatial Type one at that! How terrifying must that be? I never imagined I could actually clear the level.
"Senior, I was rude just now, but I've already cleared the game, can I leave now?"
Seeing this, the old man nodded in satisfaction and said, "Young man, I suggest you go to the training room to improve your strength, and then leave. Come back to try the challenge after you've improved! After all, that old guy on the fourth floor is stronger than me!"
Hearing this, Qin Hao's heart pounded, thinking that the subsequent levels would all have guardians, and each level would be stronger than the last.
"Thank you for informing me, senior!"
After saying that, Qin Hao wanted to leave, but the old man held him back, reluctant to let him go, and insisted that Qin Hao stay and chat with him.
It turns out that this old man was a lonely and empty old man who had been here for 3,000 years.
After the two chatted for several hours, the old man finally let Qin Hao leave, and even gave him a Spatial Type cultivation technique called "Different-Dimensional Space".
Qin Hao was naturally very happy, and then went to the cultivation room to cultivate.
