Heart Inquiry
Lin Mu's figure arrived at the Eighth Floor.
This floor looks rather rudimentary.
There is only one mirror on the entire floor.
The mirror is about three meters long, with a clear surface and a faint shimmering light.
There was a figure standing in front of the mirror.
Lin Mu recognized the man.
He was An Lan, who had cleared the first level the fastest.
At this moment, he had a look of pain on his face, and a faint Black Qi appeared in front of the mirror in front of him.
An Lan's eyes were filled with resentment as he kept asking, "Why? Why can't I get through this level?"
An aged voice came at that moment.
"Your obsession runs deep; if you continue, you'll only go astray!"
An Lan coughed up blood and looked pained.
He lay on the ground, staring at the ceiling, his figure disappearing from the spot.
If you fail the challenge, you will be teleported.
The teleportation point is outside the tower.
Lin Mu understood this level of understanding; its challenge Heart Inquiry.
Those who come to this level need to confront their true selves.
If your principles are not firm enough, you will be eliminated.
The fact that An Lan was able to get this far shows that his Divine Soul and martial arts skills are quite good.
However, he had some obsessions, which didn't have much impact on him in the early stages.
The longer it goes on, the greater the impact will be.
Lin Mu's figure appeared in front of the mirror.
The mirror surface was smooth, reflecting Lin Mu's figure.
Lin Mu's consciousness was slightly hazy, and in the dim light, he seemed to have returned to the past.
Back then, he hadn't transmigrated yet; he was just a college student on Blue Star, and his daily routine consisted of studying, playing games, and chasing girls!
In truth, his college life was quite ordinary, just like many ordinary people.
There are one or two people I like, but I can never win their hearts.
The rich kid in his class lives the life he envies every day.
If he hadn't come into this world, Lin Mu's future would have been just like that of other students.
Finding a job, going on blind dates, and buying a car and a house with the help of parents!
It seems pointless.
Yet it is the life of many people.
At that moment, a figure somewhat similar to Lin Mu appeared before him, a mocking expression on his lips.
"Isn't your life a little too boring? Isn't it incredibly meaningless to live like this your whole life?"
Looking at the Shadow in front of him, Lin Mu smiled slightly, "It is indeed quite boring, but this is my life. When I don't have the ability, I'll be an ordinary person; when I have the ability, I'll be a genius!"
The mockery in the Shadow figure's eyes grew even more pronounced. "Genius? What makes you think you're a genius?"
Lin Mu's smile was extremely obvious; he had realized the source of the Shadow.
It must have been left behind by the previous owner.
Before Lin Mu transmigrated, this body was indeed very ordinary.
It's possible that I can only get into a junior college.
It was Lin Mu's appearance that changed the trajectory of his life.
This is what led to his current achievements.
If it were the Lin Mu of the past, he would definitely have been affected by the Shadow.
Because he represents Lin Mu's negative emotions.
It is very easy for Lin Mu to be disturbed.
However, Lin Mu is no longer the same as before.
He is not only a genius, but also someone who suppresses geniuses.
The Shadow's words could not harm him in any way.
Moreover, with the system's help, Lin Mu's mind was tempered by thousands of trials.
The level of inner resolve they possess is unmatched by most people.
"You're too weak! You're not even as strong as the injuries I've experienced before!" Lin Mu shook his head slightly.
How many psychological attacks has he experienced along the way?
He was honed within the Formation of the Training Camp alone.
I was also honed during the Martial Arts Exam.
Moreover, he grasped his Observer's Sight!
This skill can help him see his true self.
The Shadow standing opposite Lin Mu was somewhat enraged. He roared and questioned, "You're nothing but a piece of trash. You spend more than ten hours a day cultivating, and in the end, you can only get into a junior college. You can't change your own fate, and you can't save your father!"
"Your father is still in a coma. Without the help of SS-grade Spirit Medicine, he will never wake up in this lifetime. You are an unfilial son!"
Standing opposite him, Lin Mu had a very calm expression, as if what he said had nothing to do with him.
The Shadow figure's face was extremely pale; he found his body beginning to distort.
He is Lin Mu's Heart Demon.
This is the root of Lin Mu's inferiority complex and suffering.
But it seemed unable to harm Lin Mu.
"No, this is impossible! How can you ignore me and completely disregard what I say?" The Shadow's face was filled with confusion.
Lin Mu smiled slightly, "I've already awakened. On the contrary, you really should open your eyes to the world."
The Shadow figure grew increasingly transparent until it finally disappeared.
Lin Mu slowly opened his eyes; he was still standing in front of the mirror.
The mirror surface emits a soft glow.
"Lin Mu, you've passed the Eighth Trial!"
"Lin Mu has broken the record for the Eighth Trial challenge with a time of seven minutes and nineteen seconds, ranking third!"
An aged voice rang out at that moment.
The Tower Body trembled slightly, and the rankings that were originally engraved on the stone pillars changed.
Lin Mu's name appeared in the third position.
Those who come to this floor later will be able to see it.
Those outside the tower witnessed this scene, and their faces showed surprise.
They never expected that Lin Mu was not only powerful in Divine Soul and martial arts, but also in temperament.
"Excellent!" the elderly men in the Calculation Room couldn't help but praise.
The first level of Heart Inquiry seems simple, but it is actually difficult. Only those who can bravely face their true selves and overcome their Heart Demon can pass this test.
The fact that Lin Mu was able to complete the game in such a short time is enough to demonstrate how resilient his character is.
The two people in the vice principal's office were also somewhat moved when they saw this scene.
As the saying goes, practicing martial arts is easy, but overcoming Heart Demon is difficult.
There's a reason why this level is rated as the Eighth Floor.
Many martial artists have failed at this level.
People as decisive as Lin Mu are indeed rare.
"This guy must be a martial arts fanatic!" Ji Shiyao couldn't help but say.
"Very likely!" Ji Xi said.
"Only a martial arts fanatic could pass the Eighth Floor so quickly. Such a person is truly terrifying. I'm afraid his future will surpass many others!" Ji Shiyao said.
People with pure hearts have fewer Heart Demon.
It will also be easier to achieve results.
Ji Xi nodded slightly; so far, he was very satisfied with Lin Mu's performance.
He also enjoys associating with martial arts enthusiasts.
Such people are simple-minded and easy to cultivate.
The college also needs people like this.
Lin Mu's figure disappeared from the spot and arrived at the Ninth Floor.
A roar came at that moment.
All that could be seen was a tall, Giant Bear -like Demon bound by Chains, whose eyes were filled with hatred when it saw Lin Mu.
"Damn humans! If you have the guts, let me go and see if I'll kill you all!" the Demon roared, his ferocity extremely obvious.
Lin Mu sized up the Demon before him. He knew that this Demon was called the Moon-Chasing Fierce Bear, Third-Order Demon with extraordinary combat power.
Its ability is also quite unique: it's immortal!
An unkillable Demon!
