[You have passed the Martial Arts Will trial, please wait for the second trial to begin]

A line of text appeared before Jiang Ye.

"This is the Martial Arts Will trial?"

Jiang Ye pulled up his pants and shook his head, "Mediocre."

Perhaps for others, the illusion just now was very real, realistic in every aspect.

But for Jiang Ye, it was full of flaws.

The reason was simple.

For the past six months, he had been undergoing similar tests in the Martial Arts Heavenly Ladder every night.

Moreover, the illusions in the Martial Arts Heavenly Ladder were not only incredibly realistic in appearance but also reached the pinnacle of perfection in touch, smell, and taste.

Every interaction would cause high-frequency oscillations in the brain's neural network, triggering waves of dopamine storms, making it impossible to stop.

Having tasted such fine grain.

The Martial Arts Will trial just now was nothing to Jiang Ye.

The moment he saw the girl with snow-white feet, he guessed that he had entered an illusion.

But out of caution, he still carefully discerned it.

Unexpectedly, when the girl saw that he wasn't falling for it, she arranged for three or four equally beautiful girls to enter the room and serve him together.

And the voices of these beautiful girls were similar to the voices of the Shadow Clan, capable of interfering with the mind.

The beautiful girls continuously emitted seductive sounds, trying to make him fall into the big bed.

Seeing this, Jiang Ye was completely certain that this was an illusion.

Immediately after, he easily passed the trial.

"It took nearly a minute to pass the trial."

Jiang Ye muttered, "I wonder if this result can make it into the top three?"

At this time, the System had not yet given the ranking, so he could only wait patiently.

Time passed.

In the blink of an eye, fifteen minutes had gone by.

[Martial Arts Will trial has ended!]

[Those who have not broken through the illusion are eliminated.]

A light screen appeared before all the trial participants.

Immediately after, the screen displayed the results list of everyone.

In Lin Xuan's trial space.

After the light screen appeared, Lin Xuan immediately looked at the results list.

[Lin Xuan: 280 points]

"Only 20 points short of a perfect score?" Lin Xuan smiled.

Although he had been terrified for a while when he entered the illusion before.

He was, after all, the top student of Ancheng First Middle School, and his Martial Arts Will was not weak.

Therefore, he passed the trial in just five minutes!

"Is there anyone with a higher score than me?"

Lin Xuan continued to look at the results list.

[Zeng Xueqing: 290 points]

[Xu Lei: 260 points]

[Li Zhichao: 210 points]

After scanning these names.

Lin Xuan immediately grinned, "Chaozi only got 210 points? That's pathetic."

His Martial Arts Will couldn't compare to him, and his Martial Arts talent couldn't compare to him either. What else could he use to compete with him?

Lin Xuan shook his head, no longer considering Li Zhichao a threat. "In this trial, my biggest opponent should be this Zeng Xueqing."

"Huh?"

Suddenly, his peripheral vision caught a name, and his expression stiffened.

"Jiang Ye, 300 points?"

"How is this possible?"

Lin Xuan stared intently at the name, somewhat incredulous.

Someone actually got a perfect score!

Could it be that the other party only took three minutes to pass the trial?!

In another trial space.

A delicate girl in a red dress frowned as she looked at the list.

"Jiang Ye."

Zeng Xueqing stared at the name on the list, clenched her fists, and said, "For the next two trials, I must go all out and absolutely cannot let someone from the ordinary class snatch the first place!"

If that happened, she would definitely become a laughingstock among her classmates!

"And Lin Xuan from Ancheng First Middle School, he's only in his first year of high school, I definitely can't lose to him either."

Zeng Xueqing whispered, as if cheering herself on.

Li Zhichao looked at the results list and took a deep breath.

He wasn't surprised by his score of 210 points.

It was because it took him nearly ten minutes to get out of the illusion.

Martial Arts Will had always been his weakness.

After all, taking supplements could improve one's Martial Arts strength, but it couldn't enhance one's Martial Arts Will.

"Jiang Ye actually got a perfect score of 300?" Li Zhichao looked at the list. "Lin Xuan also got 280 points?"

He clenched his fists, but he wasn't discouraged.

"Starting from the second trial, I will reveal my true strength."

"Jiang Ye, Lin Xuan, and Zeng Xueqing. I will surpass all of you!"

A sharpness flickered in Li Zhichao's eyes.

[Martial Arts Will Trial ended, number of eliminations: 30]

[Flowing Light Trial, about to begin, please prepare, trial participants!]

A cold mechanical voice echoed in Jiang Ye's ears.

He looked at the subtitles with some surprise. "30 people were eliminated in the first trial?"

Were the Martial Arts Will of this year's contestants too fragile?

"It seems I underestimated myself and overestimated others," Jiang Ye shook his head and sighed.

He trained daily in the Martial Arts Heavenly Ladder, his Martial Arts Will was already as firm as a rock, how could it be comparable to ordinary people?

"The Flowing Light Trial has begun."

Jiang Ye looked ahead.

Although he had gained an advantage in the Martial Arts Will trial, the next two trials were equally important.

To secure a top-three spot, he had to give it his all.

At this moment, the environment around Jiang Ye suddenly darkened.

Immediately after, he appeared in a pitch-black scene, completely dark all around, with only a tiny bit of light.

[Flowing Light Trial begins]

[Trial Rules: Within fifteen minutes, dodge the light arrows shot at you as much as possible. The longer you last, the higher your score.]

[Being hit by ten light arrows will end the trial.]

Looking at the subtitles that appeared before him, Jiang Ye suddenly understood.

"So that's how it is, testing movement techniques and reaction speed?"

"In this pitch-black scene, if light arrows are shot, it should be easy to react."

Jiang Ye thought the trial setting was quite thoughtful.

But he wouldn't think so for long.

"Whoosh!"

A sound of breaking wind came.

Jiang Ye abruptly turned his head to look, and his heart immediately sank.

It was actually a black light arrow!

It seemed to blend completely into the darkness, as if it were invisible.

Fortunately, Jiang Ye's reaction speed had long surpassed that of ordinary people after his cultivation.

With a sidestep, he dodged the first light arrow.

"Black light arrows? This difficulty is a bit insane!"

Jiang Ye couldn't help but feel an urge to curse.

A pitch-black scene, black light arrows, if the speed were any faster, he might not even be able to react!

But soon, Jiang Ye calmed down.

He couldn't react in time, and neither could anyone else.

It was a matter of who could hold out longer.

"I have Wind-Following Ear and Gale Step, which allow me to pinpoint enemy locations by sound and react in advance."

"As for Gale Step, it can only be maintained for 30 seconds, so I'll try to save it for the very end."

In a flash of lightning, Jiang Ye's plan was already formed in his mind.

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"

Several more light arrows shot out, this time from different directions.

Jiang Ye pricked up his ears, carefully discerning their origins.

Wind-Following Ear: Hearing increased by 200%!

The next moment, he transformed into an afterimage, dodging the attacks.
