There is no guarantee for the lottery? So what?

#181 - Chapter 181 Clearance

It seemed quite normal for Instructor Cen Xi, that battle maniac, to appear in the arena.

"Qi Jing, I think you and Cen Xi are quite alike."

Wen Jing had encountered many students in her years as a teacher. Although she hadn't spent much time with Qi Jing, she could already see some "violent factors" within him, similar to Cen Xi.

"Ah? Alike in what way?"

Qi Jing was surprised to hear this. What did he have in common with an elemental-type female instructor?

Could Teacher Wen be implying that he, like Instructor Cen Xi, had unlimited potential?

"You both like to fight."

Well, that was true.

Although Qi Jing always felt that being too fond of fighting was a violent and uncouth thing, he often got carried away once he started.

It was as if his body's instincts suppressed his subjective will.

"Let's go. The checkpoint ahead looks interesting."

A deep green pool of water, twenty meters long, appeared before them, with a two-meter-high round boulder inside.

Generally speaking, this color of water was something neither of them could touch.

Wen Jing stepped on a yellow trigger stone and found it began to roll forward:

"This should be for us to step on the stone one by one to cross."

"Wouldn't it be fine to just fly over?"

With that, Qi Jing summoned the Scaled Demon Wings with a series of flaps, intending to fly across.

Unexpectedly, no matter how much he flapped his wings, he couldn't lift himself off the ground.

"Don't bother trying. The designer of the checkpoint definitely wouldn't leave such a big loophole. There's bound to be a no-fly effect."

"Tch."

There was no choice. In someone else's game, you had to abide by their rules.

"It's just stepping on a rolling stone, easy peasy."

Qi Jing stepped on the trigger, rolling the stone back, then stepped on it again to activate it.

He then jumped onto the rolling stone, taking small steps to maintain his balance, and wobbled to the other side.

Wen Jing also stepped on the stone and wobbled across, just like Qi Jing.

The next obstacle was also a deep green pool of water, with scattered, cracked stones floating on it, probably the kind that would disappear briefly the moment you stepped on them.

Each stone was only about the size of a small stool, and they were spaced four to six meters apart.

Still, there was no difficulty.

Qi Jing jumped across in just two seconds.

After ten seconds, the stones reappeared, and Wen Jing also jumped across.

Next, there were swinging ropes hanging from the ceiling, flying birds in the air, and hexagonal blocks that constantly changed between red and blue.

However, they all appeared separately, as if they were specifically introducing the effects of those mechanisms to the newcomers.

"The first level is easy peasy. I wonder what the second level will be like."

Qi Jing and Wen Jing passed through the green light curtain of the second level.

The first checkpoint they encountered was still the ordinary red and blue light curtain.

However, the round hole revealed by stepping on the trigger had become a specific posture hole, which seemed to incorporate elements of a wall-penetration game.

Qi Jing jumped into the air and struck a "go you" pose to pass through it.

Wen Jing's posture was the ordinary "big" character.

It had to be said that the difficulty of this checkpoint was very high. Even Wen Jing, as an expert, almost touched the blue light curtain.

"This second level looks quite difficult. I wonder what kind of tricks the ninth level will have."

"Indeed, if it's too difficult, let's not waste time here and go find another game. But it shouldn't be ridiculously difficult. Would it design a hole smaller than a human form?"

Qi Jing didn't think the designer of this checkpoint would create a game that people couldn't pass.

If neither of them could pass, then the difficulty of this game would be unbalanced.

"That's true."

The following checkpoints were combinations of the first level, such as red and blue gravel, flying birds, and swinging ropes. They could only pass by touching objects of their own color.

The third level added the concept of time rotation to the red and blue settings. The color of the mechanism would change every two seconds, catching people off guard.

The fourth level combined the two types of checkpoints, such as striking a specific pose on the rolling stone to pass through the light curtain, with gravel and flying birds appearing alternately.

The fifth level added the previous color settings.

The sixth level lengthened the gaps between all the mechanisms, and only people with very good physical fitness could jump over them.

The seventh level strengthened teamwork. The two people had to accurately step on their own mechanisms to pass.

......

In the ninth level, they were scattered in different places as soon as they passed through the light curtain, but they could still talk to each other.

However, in this level, they could only open the door at the end by collecting their own red and blue keys.

Although their paths were different, the control of most of the mechanisms was in the hands of the other person.

For example, Qi Jing was now facing the familiar rolling stone checkpoint, with ten light curtains closely arranged on it.

Wen Jing's voice came: "I have ten trigger stones here, which should control the light curtains on your side. The distance between them is a bit large, and I can't step on two at the same time."

Qi Jing said: "When I start the rolling stone later, listen to my command. When I shout 'Go,' you step on one, and step on one each time I shout."

Wen Jing couldn't see the situation of her own checkpoint, so she could only rely on Qi Jing's command.

"OK."

Qi Jing stepped on the mechanism and immediately shouted:

"Go!"

Wen Jing stepped on the first mechanism, opening the hole in the first light curtain.

Unlike before, the hole in this light curtain was four meters high. Qi Jing had to jump up while standing on the rolling stone to pass through, and then land back on the rolling stone.

Moreover, the surface of this two-meter-diameter rolling stone was interspersed with red and blue, and Qi Jing had to step on the correct position when he landed.

Qi Jing jumped over in a strange posture, accurately stepping on the red surface, and then continued to step on the next red, swaying towards the second light curtain.

"Go!"

The second one was also easily passed.

Then came the third, fourth, and fifth.

When Qi Jing landed on the rolling stone for the sixth time, its speed suddenly increased, and Qi Jing quickly shouted:

"Go!"

Wen Jing heard that the interval between this shout was obviously much faster, completely different from the uniform speed of the previous five.

Could it be that he shouted wrongly in a hurry?

But she still stepped on the sixth mechanism.

"Go!"

The speed was even faster this time, and Wen Jing quickly jumped to the next mechanism and stepped on it hard.

"Go! Go! Go!"

Wen Jing stepped on three mechanisms in succession.

"Damn it, this rolling stone suddenly turned into three gravels, the kind that breaks when you step on it, scared me to death."

Qi Jing had just jumped over the light curtain. As soon as he stepped on the rolling stone, it suddenly disappeared, and then he crashed into three closely spaced light curtains.

After passing through them, there was a pigeon with a red body, a blue head, and a blue tail.

"Go!"

Qi Jing stepped on the pigeon with one foot and made a gesture of surrendering with both hands to pass through the last light curtain.

Then they passed several such complex checkpoints, and finally failed twice before passing this level.
