Sang Kun listened and began to think carefully. He was also the leader of a faction, and after thinking it over, he realized it was indeed like this: "No wonder, I was wondering why this staircase was so hard to climb, it couldn’t be just a test!"
He also sat directly on the staircase!
"Brother, did you discover anything else?" Sang Kun asked.
"No!" Tang Zhong shook his head.
Because there was nothing special around; above was an endless staircase, and below was the sa... endless staircase. No, we couldn’t see anything, it was all black fog, unclear!
If above was incorrect, then the breakthrough must be below!
Tang Zhong stared at the direction he had just co from!
He stood up; could it be... He imdiately walked in the opposite direction from the others!
At this mont, outside the Star Tower!
Ye Lang was still dozing off. After a long while, he spoke: "How’s it going? Has anyone figured out the crux of the test?"
The female assistant had been monitoring the events inside the Star Tower but hadn’t noticed anything unusual, so she said imdiately: "No, Commander!"
"So many people, how has no one discovered it yet?" Ye Lang murmured.
Suddenly, he thought of Tang Zhong and said: "Tell , what is that Tang Zhong doing now?"
The female assistant glanced: "Commander Ye, that person nad Tang Zhong has stopped!"
"He stopped? Looks like that kid has spotted the problem again!" Ye Lang stopped sleeping and got up to stand next to the female assistant, watching the screen showing Tang Zhong!
The female assistant stared at Tang Zhong and asked: "Commander Ye, what is the test this ti?"
"The secrets of heaven cannot be divulged, but it seems soone has already figured out the problem!" Ye Lang replied.
At this mont, staring at Tang Zhong, the appreciation in Ye Lang’s pupils grew stronger. If he stopped, it ant he’d found the focus of the test. Observing the whole scene, it seed like Tang Zhong was the earliest to stop; his observational skills were too keen. Honestly, Ye Lang couldn’t help it now; regardless of Tang Zhong’s performance afterward, he wanted this person!
That’s right, this ti, the so-called staircase test was actually just a ruse!
Plunderers differ from other organizations; each plunderer is a bona fide powerhouse, and a powerhouse must be not only strong but also clear-headed!
After all, if all they needed were strong individuals, it would be better to simply refine people into dead warriors.
What they need are talents!
So, the first test of the Star Tower was straightforward: do the opposite!
The test seed to be about ascending the staircase, but it was actually about descending. When a path doesn’t work, one can completely take the opposite route instead of stubbornly persisting. In other words, the test this ti was that whoever walked in the opposite direction passed the first stage.
When Ye Lang saw Tang Zhong take his first step in the opposite direction, he knew Tang Zhong had seen through his test again!
"Alright, the first stage of the test is over!" Ye Lang declared.
The test content was known only to Ye Lang, and the female assistant had no idea. Hearing Ye Lang’s words, she was stunned; wasn’t the test still ongoing? How did it suddenly end?
But since the Commander had spoken, she had no choice but to announce the end of the first stage of the test!
"But Commander, who do we eliminate?" the female assistant asked.
"Whoever climbed the highest, eliminate them!" Ye Lang said.
He had intended to let the first test last about a day, but since Tang Zhong had already seen through it, there was no need for the test anymore. Originally, more could have been eliminated, but now only a few can be.
The reason for eliminating the highest was because, obviously, the staircase was so difficult to climb, yet soone foolishly climbed so high? No adaptability at all, just a brute, completely unsuitable for the plunderers!
The female assistant was dumbfounded but had no choice but to announce Ye Lang’s words!
"The first stage of the test is over, except for the first place, everyone else advances!"
At this mont within the Star Tower.
Tang Zhong took his first step downward, finding it much easier.
And just as he took the first step, suddenly, a voice ca by his ear.
"The first stage of the test is over, except for the first place, everyone else advances!"
Upon hearing this, Tang Zhong understood, he must have guessed correctly. Climbing up this staircase was not the test, descending it was the true test!
No idea who designed these tests, truly unconventional!
Beside him, Sang Kun was dazed, finding it hard to believe what he had heard. So the test was indeed unconventional, and Sang Kun’s gaze toward Tang Zhong began to change instantly. No wonder this person could make Blackfla Cave Heaven so strong in just a month, instantly giving him the urge to form an association with this person.
However, others remained clueless, still utterly baffled, unable to understand what had happened, how such a thing suddenly occurred?
Especially the one in first place, standing at the highest point, found it incredible to be eliminated!
"No... it’s impossible, why ?" That person said in horror.
But being eliminated ant being eliminated, his body turned into data and vanished!
Inside, the others were bewildered; clearly in first place, yet eliminated, it was too baffling. Since they had unexpectedly stayed, they now had to contemplate how to pass the next test!
At this mont, that person in first place exited the Star Tower, having just obtained first place, being eliminated was a difficult ssage to accept, glaring at Ye Lang, he roared: "Why? Why eliminate ? I was clearly first!"
Ye Lang said nothing, but the female assistant declared first: "You may leave, this is the Plunderer’s Guild!"
That person continued to rage: "So what? The Plunderer’s Guild can just eliminate people? I demand an explanation!"
"The explanation is you are eliminated!" the person continued to shout.
At that mont, Ye Lang’s brow slowly furrowed, staring at the person, suddenly, a sword appeared in his hand, directed at the person’s throat!
The whole person was dumbfounded, realizing this was the Plunderer’s Guild and recalling what he had just done, trembling with fear, wondering what he had done!
"Causing trouble at the Plunderer’s Guild? No wonder you were eliminated, mindless!" Ye Lang said coldly.
"No... I don’t dare!" the person said in terror.
"But you did!" Ye Lang said coldly.
The sword swiftly sliced through, not even the blade seen, only the shadow; swoosh, swoosh, the troublemaker was instantly cut into pieces!
Plunderers... those who disregard the rules of the universe!
Ye Lang killed without even glancing at him, continuing to say coldly: "The test continues!"
"Yes!" the female assistant continued the test!
