Meng Huai felt different when she entered the third trial.
At this moment, her vision was the Xu Li Sect on the Wū Qí Continent, and she was teaching her subordinates techniques. Sometimes it was artifact refining, sometimes alchemy, and she even refined flying artifacts with other elders of the sect.
"This is really exactly the same as the sect."
Meng Wen and Meng Wu, standing beside Meng Huai, looked at the completed flying artifact and couldn't stop touching it, their faces filled with astonishment and emotion.
Everything in the Xu Li Sect was flourishing, making it the foremost sect on the Wū Qí Continent.
Meng Huai sat on the main seat in the palace, gazing at her disciples below, their vibrant and spirited appearances filling her with emotion. Youth, it was truly wonderful. To dare to strive and to dare to venture forth was the true nature of young people!
As she thought this, Meng Huai suddenly realized.
"This... is an illusion, still within an illusion. Only,"
Meng Huai actually saw the original appearance of the Xu Li Sect, and she realized that she had even begun to envy the mindset of young people.
But wasn't she precisely a young person now, able to do whatever she wanted? Although she was penniless at the moment, and although she was walking an extremely difficult path in this era, young people should just dare to venture forth!
Meng Huai suddenly had an epiphany and sat down within this illusion, savoring everything she had just grasped.
When the audience saw Meng Huai enter the third trial, an introduction informed them that this trial was a direct hit to the soul, a test of inner feelings. Some people got lost in this trial, while others, remembering their past sins, were overcome with grief. Only by having no desires or demands could one break through this trial.
The audience watched as Meng Huai's aura changed the moment she entered this trial. However, they could not see the world within Meng Huai's mind, only feeling as if they were looking at someone of high status, unable to meet her gaze directly.
Some audience members, upon hearing the introduction, felt that the Imperial Military Academy had gone too far and complained: Cloud Above: What is the meaning of this trial? Don't you think the military academy's approach is somewhat justifiable?
Cloud Above: How can people be without emotions and desires? But is it right for the military academy to expose students' privacy to the cameras like this? Reading Books La
Hihi is Bye Bye Ah: It is a bit excessive, but why does it feel like Meng Huai is a bit terrifying right now? What does the world in her eyes look like? I'm so curious.
Ah Cui Classmate Ah: Now she feels like my grandma, with a kind of pressure and a kind of warmth. Oh my goodness, could she be seeing her situation in her hundreds? Thinking about it makes me laugh somehow?
Beautiful Girl Herself: Oh dear, why haven't others reached this trial yet? I want to see what others are like!
Cloud Above: You people really enjoy watching the show without caring about the consequences. This is the students' privacy!
The audience member named Cloud Above was still arguing, believing this behavior to be a serious invasion of privacy. But his solitary voice was quickly drowned out by other bullet comments, and at this moment, the audience saw Meng Huai sitting cross-legged on the ground. This action further confused everyone.
However, upon seeing this scene, Ji Xuyao excitedly looked at his book and then at Meng Huai: "Is she practicing cultivation?"
The diagram in the document in Ji Xuyao's hand was from an introduction to ancient metaphysics, where it was said that masters absorb the essence of the sun and moon for cultivation. The cultivation posture was precisely sitting cross-legged like this! Moreover, ancient people, without mechs, could fly through the sky and burrow into the earth, slaying demons and vanquishing monsters.
"This Meng Huai must be the reclusive master mentioned in ancient texts! She is cultivating!"
Ji Xuyao was absolutely convinced of his viewpoint and stated it with certainty.
However, Meng Huai was indeed cultivating at this moment. It was difficult for someone at her level to advance further. Her state of mind was a significant factor, yet this epiphany across different eras allowed her power to progress further.
Meng Huai's epiphany also required time. After all, they might go into seclusion for centuries. But she knew what she was doing, and after only two hours, she opened her eyes. Meanwhile, other students were still struggling in the first or second trials, caught in deep water and scorching fire, one of them was definitely right.
After Meng Huai stepped out of this trial of new technology, she received a prompt for ten thousand points. Her test was thus drawing to a close, and her points had already risen to sixth place. The five people ahead of her were all acquaintances, the Wang Zi Ming team.
Because the points were evenly distributed and no one was eliminated, all five people had the same score. Meng Huai was only a little over three hundred points behind them, but there was no longer an opportunity.
"Sixth place is still okay,"
Meng Huai said this, but suddenly felt a tremor from the protective star wall ahead.
That's right, the finish line was near the Fu Sai Star's protective star wall. But perhaps because everyone had great faith in the protective star wall, they believed there was no danger here. With many lifeguards nearby and the federal army stationed beside it, the finish line was set here.
However, danger suddenly struck.
A ferocious tiger managed to breach the protective star wall and charged towards the finish line. With one swipe, it shattered the finishing obstacle made of so-called new technology.
The students who were taking the trial were suddenly returned to the real world. All the ice mountains, snow, or raging fires disappeared. They suddenly felt light, but before they could relax, they heard a tiger's roar.
"3! A Class 3S star beast!"
A student exclaimed in shock upon seeing the white tiger before them, but their voice trembled slightly.
Teacher Wang, who was guarding the finish line area, was also shocked by the ferocious tiger. Teacher Wang was the only Class 3S individual soldier in the venue, and only he could contend with it.
Teacher Wang was the teacher of Class 1 of the New Recruit Individual Soldier Department, the same teacher who conducted the perception test for the new recruits. He directly entered his mech, preparing to intercept the ferocious tiger, to prevent it from harming the students.
At this moment, a command also sounded in his headset: "Wang Rong, you go and intercept! You must protect these new recruits."
This batch of new recruits did not have a single Class 3S individual soldier, and they were utterly incapable of contending with a ferocious tiger star beast. Moreover, even if there were Class 3S individual soldiers, the new recruits lacked experience, and such a situation could easily lead to them being injured.
But the ferocious tiger had already charged towards those new recruits. At this moment, Meng Huai was the closest to it. She then drew her saber, intercepting horizontally, and swung a slash towards the tiger's neck.
However, it was clear that this ferocious tiger was no ordinary foe. It directly extended its claws to directly counter the saber.
That saber, in this trial, had already slain numerous Class SS star beasts. It was basically guaranteed to draw blood with every swing, but now it had encountered a formidable opponent.
