High-Martial World: System Arrives 30 Years Late Chapter 80: Second Future Sight, Solution to the Puzzle

In the surveillance room, Shi Hao and Xu Zhi watched Tantai Yan’s entire clearance process, and couldn’t help but silently glance at Huangfu Xue beside them. The three of them were from the sa batch of the training camp.

Back then, Huangfu Xue, who was the top, also passed easily and leisurely, followed by Xu Zhi with the speed talent, while Shi Hao did not pass on his first try.

"Spiritual power is indeed abnormal."

"In this stage, spiritual power is basically cheating!" The two comnted one after another.

Huangfu Xue glanced at the two, as if to say, are you dissatisfied with this?

Shortly afterwards, lights 3 and 4 also turned on, but they were all red lights. Among the first batch of five people, only number 1, Tantai Yan, passed.

Even numbers 11 and 51 failed. This result caused many people to feel a chill in their hearts. Although, apart from the top ten dormitories, other dormitory rankings were not very accurate, 11 and 51 could at least be considered mid to upper-level within the entire training camp.

On the other side of the gate, the first batch of five gathered, with Tantai Yan standing in the corner, her clothes clean and tidy, as if nothing had happened.

"Tantai Yan is really a monster," sighed test taker number 11, Situ Lie, who had two very noticeable footprints on his chest.

As for the other three, they were even more miserable. Number 201 was relatively fine, because he was eliminated quickly, so he appeared to be the most relaxed.

Test taker number 51 looked very unwilling, clenching his fists, with a red and purple patch on his left cheek, and his clothes in tatters, obviously having suffered a severe beating.

Just as he was feeling extrely unwilling, Ming Jie from Qianhai City walked out with a black eye on his left eye and a bloody nose, looking even more miserable.

"No way... even Ming Jie failed? And in such a terrible state?"

Test taker number 51 swallowed hard, dumbfounded. He imdiately realized a problem; he thought he was just one step away from passing, but perhaps he was actually far from it.

After all, he didn’t believe he was stronger than Ming Jie.

Tantai Yan watched each person walk out looking dejected and sighed, then timidly approached a soldier.

"Um, I find it a bit hard to breathe here and feel a little uncomfortable. Can I leave first?"

"Of course, those who pass can leave. The canteen will prepare a sumptuous free feast for you as part of the reward. Only one round of testing is conducted today; the second round will be held tomorrow."

"Hmph, as for those who failed the assessnt, don’t think about a free lunch. Now, go to the field and do physical training imdiately. Just twenty laps each. You can try running less, but if you’re caught running a lap less, you’ll have to make up for it and add another ten laps."

"Also, don’t think about dragging it out. If you can’t finish within half an hour, every extra minute will add a lap. If you can’t complete it today, don’t think about resting or eating. Did you all hear that?"

Shi Hao’s voice resounded, not only could the five on this side hear it, but those on the other side could hear it as well.

Inside the fortress, there was a field, but it wasn’t the regular one-kiloter loop; instead, it was three kiloters per loop. Twenty loops amounted to a full sixty kiloters.

Only sixty kiloters, yet it needed to be completed within half an hour!

Converted, that’s a speed of 120 kiloters per hour.

The burst speed of Fourth or Fifth Level Martial Artists far exceeds this, but burst and endurance are two different aspects. Captain Shi Hao said it lightly, but such a requirent could be considered grueling physical training even for Fourth or Fifth Level Martial Artists.

Suddenly, everyone else on the platform who hadn’t participated in the assessnt yet shuddered and felt energized.

"There is no ti for you to waste now. Once the light turns on, get in there imdiately. Once the assessnt at gate five is completed, if there are many people, go over proactively. Speed it up for !"

Hong Yi took a deep breath and walked into gate two, and after walking several tens of ters in the dark, his view suddenly widened. In the center of an open space stood three human-shaped tal golems, each over three ters tall.

As Hong Yi entered within a hundred-ter range, the blood-red eyes of the human-shaped tal golem in the center suddenly lit up, and the inscriptions all over its body brightened, releasing a shockingly powerful wave of qi and blood.

Then the projector on the ceiling of the arena lit up, projecting two lines onto the ground.

[1. Survive for three minutes, with the number of hits less than five considered as passing]

[2. Break through the attacks of the tal golems and step into the passage to pass]

[5]

[4]

[3]

The five-second countdown began.

Hong Yi looked up, and about a hundred ters behind the three tal golems, there was a passage leading sowhere unknown. He was standing about a hundred ters from the golems.

This ant he was about two hundred ters away from the passage. With his burst speed, he could cross the two hundred ters in just over two seconds at full sprint.

Then Hong Yi’s eyes fell back on the tal golem, sensing the golem’s qi and blood fluctuations reaching a peak.

"The qi and blood fluctuations are still higher than mine, but they probably haven’t reached the Sixth Level. It’s likely at the Fifth Level High Stage."

"Taking punches passively is not as good as attacking proactively. Let’s try breaking through the attacks first!"

In an instant, Hong Yi made his decision, believing the second clearance rule might be easier.

Hong Yi took a deep breath, directing his qi and blood into his legs, and as the countdown reached 0, he launched himself off the ground, moving like an arrow released from a bowstring.

The central human-shaped tal golem just started, its movent sowhat stiff. It took large strides trying to block him, but it was not very agile. Hong Yi took several steps and was about to pass by it when.

Two red lights suddenly ignited, and the other two humanoid golems on the field were activated abruptly. Two fists as large as heads hurled out fiercely, growing larger in Hong Yi’s pupils.

"Not good!"

Startled and angry, Hong Yi hurriedly infused qi and blood into the spear in his hands, holding it horizontally in front of his chest.

Clang!

In the intense sound of tal clashing, the astonishing force from the golem’s fist bent the spear, and an overwhelming force sent Hong Yi flying.

Pfft, a mouthful of blood was spat out.

On the wall were two sets of data, the left for the three-minute countdown, and the right for the number of hits. The hits counter, originally at zero, instantly turned red with a total of 2.

"The puppet finally drew back its force!"

Hong Yi was shocked, but there was no ti to catch his breath. The first activated human-shaped puppet raised its arms high and slamd down fiercely, while the other two puppets retreated slowly, blocking the passage like two guardian deities.

Bang, bang, bang.

The fully activated human-shaped puppet was extrely violent. Thirty seconds later,

The puppet’s fist stopped right in front of Hong Yi, less than ten centiters away, its eyes flashing red, then retreated to the center.

The countdown cleared to zero, and two large characters appeared on the ground: Failure.

Hong Yi’s face showed bitterness, gasping for air, with a bruised and battered face, he left the passage.

"I only lasted fifty-eight seconds? I couldn’t even hold out for a minute, turns out I’m this weak!"

Outside the passage, there were many who had the sa experience. At this ti, the first door opened, and a figure limped out, then collapsed to the ground unconscious.

"Got so work."

The military doctor who had been waiting got up calmly, carrying the person away on a stretcher.

Hong Yi was greatly shocked. This was only the first round of the preliminary test. Could anyone really get through the upcoming levels except for those few talented martial artists?

He even doubted whether all the talented martial artists besides Tantai Yan could pass the test.

He quickly stopped doubting because there was a large screen here, displaying the nas of those who passed, as well as recording the assessnt of the talented martial artists.

Currently, only four people had passed: Tantai Yan, Cui Jian, You Ming, and Xing Fang. Among the others, including Ming Jie, all the talented martial artists had failed.

"Ah?"

Hong Yi was completely dumbfounded. Others seeing Hong Yi’s reaction were not surprised anymore. Soone sighed and extended an invitation, "Brother, let’s go, let’s train our physical strength and leave this place of heartbreak."

...

In the monitoring room, the main examiners, Shi Hao and Xu Zhi, were enjoying themselves greatly.

"Interesting, really interesting, more people are going down!"

"Haha, I just love watching this. When you spoke just now, Shi Hao, those talented martial artists were all very calm, but unfortunately, now they can’t be proud."

"Now that most of the talented martial artists have been assessed, how co only four passed? I feel like this batch of trainees is much weaker than our batch."

"Why don’t we make a bet, how many people can pass the assessnt this ti, with the old rule that we cannot bet on the current result?"

"Our batch had seven, right? I’ll bet on six," Xu Zhi said.

"Then I’ll bet on five; if we’re both wrong, let’s see who is closer in the end."

"Alright."

On the side, Huangfu Xue, who was initially uninterested, also beca intrigued. She wasn’t very interested in the training camp itself. Apart from being invited by Shi Hao, most of her presence here was due to requests from the Shenjiang City Martial Arts Association Headquarters.

She was here to specifically guide Tantai Yan because it was very likely that Tantai Yan had triggered the Martial Saint’s Will. This person’s spiritual talent was astonishing, and they held great potential.

The Martial Arts Association speculated that it was due to this person’s personality, which is why they didn’t inform others, as Tantai Yan enjoyed being lost in thought alone while attending South China Martial Arts University.

"Since we’re betting, there should be stakes. What do you want to bet?"

"Why don’t you join us?" Xu Zhi suggested, giving Shi Hao a wink.

"Yes, it’s not as interesting with just the two of us; how about a three-way bet?" Shi Hao got the hint imdiately.

Huangfu Xue, knowing their intentions, couldn’t refuse, considering that most of the talented martial artists had already been assessed, and those coming next had little hope.

But since both of them asked, Huangfu Xue didn’t back down.

"Alright, I’ll bet on seven then, and I’ll put up ten catties of Spirit Marrow."

Shi Hao and Xu Zhi exchanged glances, sowhat surprised. Huangfu Xue played a big ga, worthy of being from the Huangfu Family.

"I don’t have as much wealth as you do, so I’ll bet this." Shi Hao took out a small piece of dark gold tal the size of a jujube seed.

"Secret Copper Essence? Fine, I guess I’ll have to put up this then." Xu Zhi gritted his teeth and took out a similarly sized piece of pale silver tal.

"Mithril? Alright then, let’s bet. I rember there should be ten talented martial artists in this batch, where’s the last one?" Huangfu Xue’s latter sentence caught the attention of the two.

"Yeah, where’s the last one, why haven’t we seen them yet?"

...

Before the door, Su Mu took a deep breath and closed his eyes. Since passing the assessnt ca with rewards, perhaps rewards for cultivation resources, he planned to strive for it!

So, he activated Future Sight for the second ti.

In his soul state, he stepped through the door and saw the three human-shaped tal puppets at the center. As the countdown began, the furious battle comnced...

A few minutes later, the red light of the fifth door flashed.

"Hey, it’s your turn. You’re not scared, are you?" soone urged from behind.

Su Mu opened his eyes, rubbed his temples, showing a hint of fatigue, but his eyes were slightly bright.

"I see, I understand now!"

"The second rule is actually a trap for right now; trying to dodge with body techniques is actually wrong."

"Once the ti drags on, all three puppets will attack together and go berserk, blocking the door. Speed is my weak point, and with my current Extre Shadow Body Technique, I can’t pass."

"The teacher said that inscriptions on weapons have a core, and so do spatial channels. The puppets operate through inscriptions, and there must be an inscription core within them. All I need to do is break them one by one."
