When Xu Jintang came to her senses, the lotus leaf under her feet had already been pulled ten meters away.
She leaned back, falling backward.
At the same time, a massive amount of spiritual energy rapidly spread from her palm outwards, quickly covering the entire surface of the lake.
A solid layer of ice instantly covered the entire lake surface, creating a faint, colorful halo under the refraction of light, freezing the lotus leaves along with it.
Xu Jintang quickly regained his footing and leaped up again to attack the unknown creature.
This time, she didn't hold back. She quickly gathered her spiritual power in her palm and struck the unknown creature opposite her with all her might.
The delicate, small Ice Lotus exploded instantly, creating an extremely strong burst of radiation.
Dozens of the unknown creature's tendrils were immediately blown off, breaking off one by one and sinking to the bottom of the lake.
Xu Jintang didn't linger any longer. He quickly leaped into the air, swiftly jumping towards the lotus leaves, and soon successfully reached the other side of the lake.
At the same time, the text floating above the lake automatically updated to. "Beginner Trial Completed."
The original mountain and lake scenery disappeared.
Xu Jintang returned to the entrance of the trial.
But the text floating in front of them had changed to "Advanced Trial Level".
She looked around and saw figures appearing out of thin air nearby, probably all of them people who had just cleared the level.
However, none of the four Li Caizhe, showed up.
Xu Jintang waited for a while, but still didn't see Li Caizhe other three. He guessed that they might be entangled by the unknown creatures in the first level.
She didn't wait any longer and stepped directly into the entrance of the second advanced trial level.
The surrounding scenery quickly changed again.
Everywhere you look is a dazzling glass, refracting different lines and vibrant colors under the light.
Xu Jintang looked up and surveyed her surroundings.
The entire area is completely enveloped by prismatic glass of various shapes.
Because there were no vents, the air in the room was completely stagnant and stuffy; soon my forehead was covered in sweat.
She took a deep breath and felt a wave of heat enter her lungs, causing her to cough several times.
At this point, the requirements for the second challenge become clear. "Find the disguised illusory glass within ten minutes and smash it to escape the glass maze."
Xu Jintang quickly glanced at the prismatic glass around him.
Each piece of prismatic glass looks very similar, with almost no difference between them.
She tentatively raised her hand and struck one of the prismatic glass pieces; the attack bounced off the glass and quickly returned.
Xu Jintang quickly retreated to the side to avoid it.
The rebounded attack did not disappear; instead, it bounced off another prism-shaped piece of glass and then continued to bounce off the next prism-shaped piece on the opposite side.
Xu Jintang was stunned for a moment, but quickly realized the peculiarity of the prismatic glass and stopped.
The attack that had just been launched bounced dozens of times, and the fluctuations in power did not diminish at all; it continued to bounce inside the glass enclosure.
In order to avoid being launched by the projectiles, Xu Jintang had to move back and forth.
She pursed her lips and pondered for a few seconds, then a brilliant idea struck her.
The entire glass house covers an area of at least 200 square meters, and the total number of each piece of prism-shaped glass must be tens of thousands.
If she wanted to quickly find out which piece of prismatic glass could be shattered, she could simply unleash several attacks at once and deflect them all at once.
Xu Jintang acted swiftly, unleashing dozens of mental energy beams.
The mental energy waves instantly spread out, bouncing around inside the glass room, making the scene dazzling.
Xu Jintang's dodging speed also increased.
While dodging the ricocheting attacks, her eyes remained fixed on each piece of prism glass that was touched.
All the prismatic glass that the mental energy waves touched remained intact.
Time passed by, second by second.
With five minutes remaining in the clearance time, the prism-shaped glass that the mental energy beam had deflected had not yet reached half of its surface.
Xu Jintang could only increase the number of mental energy waves.
Dozens more waves of mental energy began to refract towards the surrounding prismatic glass.
The number of prismatic glass pieces encountered increased rapidly, but strangely, no illusory glass that could be shattered was ever found.
Until the very last minute, the mental energy beam had already bounced off all the prismatic glass pieces once.
Xu Jintang remained silent for two seconds.
All the prismatic glass pieces have been touched by the mental energy waves. If there is a shatterable illusory glass piece among them, the damage from these energy waves would be enough to shatter it.
But these situations did not occur.
She looked up, her gaze quickly sweeping around, taking in all the prism-shaped glass panes.
There must be some loophole that she overlooked.
The final 50-second countdown has begun.
The countdown timer slowly appeared in front of us, instantly creating a sense of urgency.
Xu Jintang's mind raced, and suddenly, as if struck by a sudden thought, she slowly raised her head, revealing a pair of cold, piercing eyes.
I almost forgot, the rules didn't mention that this illusory glass is always fixed in one position.
In other words, during the period when the prism-shaped glass was gradually ejected, the illusory glass may have been moving randomly all along.
Xu Jintang pursed her lips and quickly raised her hands.
A power even stronger than the previous mental energy waves surged forth.
A large amount of mental energy rapidly concentrated and condensed between his two palms, forming a ball of concentrated mental energy in just a few seconds.
With only ten seconds left, Xu Jintang raised his hands, igniting the Power of Dragon Blood within his body, and channeled a drop of spiritual energy, condensed with the essence of dragon blood, into the energy sphere.
"Bang--"
A deafening buzzing sound, almost shattering eardrums, rang out.
The seemingly indestructible glass house was blasted open, and all the prismatic glass shattered into countless fragments within seconds.
At the same time, a notification sounded, "Congratulations on passing the advanced trial."
A few seconds later, the surrounding scenery changed again.
Xu Jintang was teleported back to the entrance of the level.
At this moment, Li Caizhe and his group were already standing aside waiting.
Upon seeing Xu Jintang, Li Caizhe strode over, "You cleared the level?"
Xu Jintang paused for a moment, then nodded, "Mm."
"Alright, let's team up and go into the second stage." Li Caizhe turned around and waved to the other team members behind him, "Come and gather around."
Xu Jintang hesitated for a moment, "Can we still team up to enter the second level?"
"Of course, the difficulty of the second advanced level trial is on a completely different level from the beginner level. It's quite difficult to pass, but if we team up, the probability will be higher, although the rewards for teaming up will be less."
Li Caizhe didn't think much of it, gave a brief explanation, and immediately went to call the others over.
Xu Jintang stood there in silence for a while.
Clearly, Li Caizhe mistakenly believed that she had just completed the beginner-level trial.
By this time, the other team members had already gathered.
Xu Jintang didn't say anything more, only asking, "What were the rewards for clearing the trial again?"
Li Caizhe: " Mental Power Irrigation. After you finish the challenge and leave the trial area, the system here will automatically detect your completion level and number of attempts, and provide you with the corresponding Mental Power Irrigation."
" Mental Power Irrigation?" Xu Jintang had never heard of this before.
Li Caizhe stopped and turned around in surprise. "You came to the Land of the North Sea for trials, and you don't even know what Mental Power Irrigation is?"
"I really haven't looked into it." Xu Jintang scratched his head.
Li Caizhe stared at Xu Jintang as if he were an idiot, and explained, " Mental Power Irrigation is a unique amplification method in the Land of the North Sea Trial Area. Simply put, it directly infuses you with a certain amount of pure mental energy, which can improve your cultivation progress."
"I see," Xu Jintang replied.
"If I complete the beginner level twice, will I also receive the reward for completing the beginner level trial twice?"
"Yes." Li Caizhe nodded. "Alright, now that we understand the situation, let's move on to the second stage."
Xu Jintang didn't say anything more, quickly nodded, and followed the group into the entrance of the second checkpoint.
Li Caizhe and his companions had clearly participated in these trials many times before and already knew how to break through the illusory glass of the second level.
As soon as he entered, Li Caizhe raised his hand and shouted, "Everyone, attack the glass house with all your might! Don't hold back! Let's hurry!"
Since the illusory glass in the second level moves randomly throughout the entire process, the only feasible way is to simply smash the entire glass house.
However, the glass house is very well-defended, and it is extremely difficult for one person to break it. Therefore, many experienced players have begun to form adventure teams to try to conquer the level together, which has greatly increased the success rate.
Xu Jintang didn't use his full strength; he merely pretended to give it his all.
At the last moment, a slight infusion of spiritual energy helped the team shatter the glass house.
The notification sound indicating completion rang again.
Li Caizhe and his companions were overjoyed. "We actually cleared it on our first try! This progress is simply amazing!"
"It seems our skills have improved significantly. We've made a profit this time; we can try a couple more times."
The group excitedly hugged each other in celebration.
Seeing this, Xu Jintang had no choice but to play along and put on a show of being overjoyed.
After clearing the level, Li Caizhe and his companions were still immersed in joy and soon began to try the second level trial.
Xu Jintang, as always, discreetly offered his help.
After successfully clearing the level again, the group was ejected from the entrance to the second trial, accompanied by a notification sound, "An excess of members has been detected in the team. You are prohibited from participating in the trial again."
To prevent players from repeatedly claiming rewards, each level of the Land of the North Sea Trial can only be participated in a maximum of three times per day.
After exceeding the limit, you will be restricted from entering the level.
