Chapter 41 I Can't Count
At the end of the long steps?

Ye Ming looked at the long steps in front of him suspiciously. Does this thing really have an end?

With such doubts in mind, he could only climb upwards.

Maybe it's just that I haven't seen the end.

According to that Li Zichen, the time to reach the end of the long steps is related to the score.

Most likely a racing challenge.

Ye Ming is not in a hurry, but is prepared to take his time. Anyway, as long as he reaches the end, he will pass the assessment, and the score is still left for others to fight for.

He just wants to go as slow as possible and get himself a low score.

A qualified undercover agent must be low-key.

Ye Ming slowly walked up the long steps.

Soon his expression became strange, because he felt that as he went up, the arcane energy in his body was slowly increasing.

And the higher you go, the more obvious this feeling becomes.

Of course, as he went up, he also felt an invisible pressure that was constantly growing.

Sure enough, it is not so easy to reach the end of the long steps.

This is not surprising at all, if it were really that easy, it wouldn't be called an assessment.

It's just where is the end of my long step?

Ye Ming looked up, but still couldn't see the end.

But you can only take one step at a time.

If this is the case for him, then the others will not be much better off.

If you think about it this way, there is no need to rush.

It's just that the feeling of growing arcane energy in his body became more and more obvious, and a thought grew from the bottom of his heart, he wanted to quickly climb to a higher area.

This kind of arcane energy growth rate can be called terrifying, and it is definitely an unbearable temptation for arcanists.

"What a waste!"

Ye Ming was heartbroken. If it was someone else, maybe after climbing these steps, they would be able to advance to a higher level, right?
But he doesn't have any arcane talent himself, and he can only rely on the system to upgrade. This kind of good thing is completely meaningless to him.

"Forget it, let's climb slowly!"

Ye Ming knew that this kind of opportunity had nothing to do with him, and he could not do without krypton gold upgrade in his life.

In this way, he walked slowly up, until looking back at the road when he couldn't see, he finally saw the end of the long steps in front of him.

The moment he climbed up to the end of the long steps with great effort, the surrounding scene dissipated instantly, and he found himself still standing in place.

It was as if he had never moved a step.

In fact it is.

Breka shouted excitedly: "Brother, you finally woke up! Why are you so slow? I thought you were going to fail the test."

Ye Ming froze for a moment, looked around, and found that many people around him fell to the ground, as if they had fallen into a deep sleep.

"Are they...failed?"

Ye Ming understood instantly.

Breka nodded: "That's right! The fallen people all failed the assessment, but they just fell into a deep sleep, and woke up after a day or two of sleep."

When Ye Ming heard the words, he knew that he was indeed in an illusion just now. It seemed that he had walked so long in the illusion, but in fact he didn't move a step.

In other words, the chief supervisor of the assessment on the stage is a high-level spiritual arcanist.

But if it's an illusion, what happened to the feeling of enhanced arcane energy before?

Now it seems that everyone's strength has not changed.

At this time, Li Zichen on the stage spoke again:
"Okay, now the last candidate who passed the assessment has appeared, and your scores will be announced next!"

"I'm the last one?"

Ye Ming couldn't help being taken aback when he heard this.

Immediately, I was overjoyed, no one would care about me now, right?
Even though he won No. 1 from the bottom, he didn't expect it.

Breka was puzzled and said, "You are indeed the last one. By the way, brother, why did you pass the examination like this? Isn't it just nine stone steps? I went up in two or three steps."

"Speaking of which, the Orex was only a little longer than you made it. I didn't expect the two of you to be so slow in this level."

A smug expression appeared on Breka's face as he spoke.

He not only surpassed César in this assessment, but also surpassed Oleks!

That's a Tier [-] Arcanist!
"Nine stone steps?"

Ye Ming's expression froze when he heard this. What are nine stone steps?There's no end to that thing in sight, okay?
But looking at Breka wasn't lying either.

What's more, what's the benefit of lying to him?
But at this moment, someone next to him asked a question: "Nine? Isn't it sixteen stone steps?"

"..."

When Ye Ming heard this, he had a bad premonition in his heart. He felt something was wrong since Breka said that Orex was only a little earlier than him.

It is absolutely impossible for Orex as a third-rank Arcanist to be surpassed so easily by others.

From the conversations of other people, we can know that everyone encounters stone steps after entering the illusion, but the lengths are completely different.

Doesn't that mean...

"Why is No.1 this César again? Shouldn't it be the one who came out first?"

"What's going on? Isn't it true that the faster the person passes the test, the higher the score?"

"Shady! This must be a shady!"

Ye Ming's thoughts were interrupted by a burst of exclamation.

He looked up sharply, and saw that the score of this assessment had been announced on the light screen in front of the square.

He occupies the top spot with an absolute advantage of [-] points!
And followed by Oleks with 98 points.

Ye Ming was stunned, and he guessed it right!

Li Zichen's so-called assessment time does not mean that the shorter the better, but the longer the better!

He really wants to scold people now, who came up with such a strange assessment method?No matter how you think about this kind of assessment, you will only think of it as racing, right?

Who is slower?

In fact, this is not only Ye Ming's doubts, but also everyone's doubts. They all looked confused after seeing this list.

However, Li Zichen quickly answered their questions.

"I know you have a lot of questions. This assessment is designed to test your willpower and arcane potential. You must have discovered that the stone steps that each of you see after entering the illusion are long and short. The length of the stone steps varies. Represents everyone's arcane potential."

"People with higher arcane potential will have longer stone steps, and both the difficulty of climbing and the climbing time will be greatly extended."

"Thus, the later the person who passes the assessment, the higher the potential, and the higher the score."

"In addition, in order to prevent someone from deliberately delaying time, as long as you stay on a stone step for too long, it will be regarded as a failure of the assessment."

"Now, do you still have doubts about the result of this time?"

Li Zichen's words resounded throughout the square, and the noisy crowd fell silent again.

Some people are happy and some are worried, and many people are complacent because of their arcane potential.

Others are dejected by their own arcane potential.

When Breka heard these words, the smile on his face gradually disappeared.

He only saw nine stone steps!
This means that his arcane potential is only so small!
He turned his head abruptly and asked Ye Ming:

"How many steps did you see?"

Ye Ming couldn't bear to hit Breka, so he said:
"I don't know, I didn't count."

"???"
