Very good.
Ren Suo had not expected the Second Trial's battle scene to be inside a famous scenic landmark. That gave him a major advantage—especially if the enemies were artsy French people.
From his experience in the First Trial, Ren Suo knew that Seekers of Knowledge were not completely beguiled by the Gate of Truth. He could use words to stir their rationality, such as using gossip about Ren Han to greatly dampen Yun Wangshu's fighting spirit.
