"You're talking nonsense." Seeing Fang Ming saying that their body skills were not good, Fang Qing suddenly felt that it would be acceptable if he and Ni Youbin were talking about it, but those people said that Lu Yunyou was definitely not good.
"Brother Fang, please be patient. I'm just saying casually. If I offend you in any way, please forgive me," the speaker smiled, apologizing while trying to get close.
"Are those secret room levels you mentioned only accessible to sixth-level martial arts cultivators?" After listening for a long time, Ni Youbin finally couldn't help but say this.
"That's not true. The secret room level is a place where the level of physical skills is tested. As long as you know some physical skills and your level is not too low, you can go there," a member of the Ling family replied.
"Where exactly is the secret room level?" The other party's answer aroused Ni Youbin's interest. Regardless of his physical skills, Ni Youbin had the idea of wanting to see it.
On the other side, Fang Qing also wanted to know the answer to the question, because he also wanted to give it a try. Only Lu Yunyou remained unmoved, because according to what Ling Zining and others had said before, Lu Yunyou could imagine that it would be very long to pass the first test. The second and third steps would be even more difficult, so although he was very curious, he didn't want to try it.
"It's in a forbidden area. How can I tell you clearly now?"
"Then can you take us there to have a look?" Fang Qing asked again.
"Do you three want to give it a try?"
"Can't you?"
"Although the three of them are outsiders, they are guests of our Ling Mansion after all, and they are also the master's disciples. It's natural to go." After a pause, the person who replied continued: "It's just that the level is very difficult. If the body skills are If it doesn’t work, you will probably be injured inside, but of course you won’t be seriously injured. I just want to advise the three of you to think carefully.”
His face gradually became serious, and the Ling family member kept casting inquiring glances at the three of them. Although he was clearly trying to persuade the three of them to think carefully, in his heart he was eagerly hoping that the three of them would agree to go.
After hearing the other party say that they might get injured after seeing the secret room level, Fang Qing and Ni Youbin's enthusiasm for participating in the test suddenly decreased a lot. After a brief consideration, the two of them looked at Lu Yunyou in unison.
Lu Yunyou, who felt that the two of them were in trouble and wanted to remind them not to go, turned around and met the eager eyes of Fang Qing and Ni Youbin. Their eyes told Lu Yunyou that they wanted to go, which made Lu Yunyou embarrassed. Fortunately, Lu Yunyou thought in time that they didn't have to break through the barrier, and it wouldn't hurt to just go and have a look.
So after nodding to the two of them, Lu Yunyou smiled and looked at Ling Zining's group of people: "If a few friends are willing to lead the way, we would like to see them."
"Okay, if the three of you have eaten enough, we can set off immediately so as not to delay our practice." Seeing Lu Yunyou agree, Ling Zining smiled and kept thinking that their plan was already half successful.
"Then let's go directly." The three of them came early and ate quickly. Now they are full. Fang Qing became more curious and agreed without thinking.
"Yes," nodding, Ling Zining and others stood up and took Lu Yunyou and the others away.
"Sister, don't you think that's Fang Qing and the others?" At an intersection, Ling Ziqing, who was about to go to the canteen to eat, suddenly noticed a group of people heading towards the forbidden area. Among them, the figures of Lu Yunyou and the others caught his attention the most.
"It's really them," following what Ling Ziqing pointed out, Ling Zixin recognized Lu Yunyou and the others directly from their backs.
"Strange, how come they are walking together with Ling Zining?" A trace of doubt flashed in his eyes, and Ling Ziqing asked again: "Don't Ling Zining usually hate them?"
"They may have just happened to meet each other on the road!" She was also very confused, but looking at it alone, Ling Zixin couldn't tell what was going on.
"But there's no need for them to be so close to Ling Zining and others, right?" Feeling that there was something wrong with his sister's guess, Ling Ziqing continued: "Look, the three of them are still walking among Ling Zining and the others."
"I don't know either," Ling Zixin shook her head and looked very helpless. If Lu Yunyou and Ling Zimo were together, it would be okay, but it would be puzzling to be together with Ling Zining and others.
"No matter, Ling Zining doesn't dare to bully them anyway. Sister, let's go to dinner." Seeing that he couldn't get an answer, Ling Ziqing didn't want to meddle in other people's business.
"Yes," Ling Zixin agreed and glanced at the backs of Lu Yunyou and the others before turning around and continuing to walk towards the dining hall.
After a while, Lu Yunyou and his party entered the forbidden area unimpeded. Because they arrived early, they met no one else on the way. As they walked, the three of them had been discussing the three checkpoints with Ling Zining and others.
It turns out that there are several stone chambers in the forbidden area, and each stone chamber has a level that tests the physical skills. There are three in total, each one is more difficult than the last. If a martial artist who does not know the physical skills takes part in the test, he can only rely on his own reaction speed to pass the level. , but Ling Zining and others made it clear that it was impossible to pass those levels by relying solely on reaction speed. Those participating in the test must have a certain foundation in physical skills, otherwise it would be impossible to pass the levels unscathed.
However, one of the criteria for passing a level is to be intact before and after entering. If the clothes on your body are even slightly damaged, it will not be considered a perfect pass.
The first level is the wind blade room. Because the wind enters through a small hole, it is extremely fast, so fast that it becomes a strong wind blade. It will leave a mark directly across the skin. Of course, it is not serious. The key is The wind blade can also tear your clothes, so it's not easy to pass the level intact.
According to the narrations of Ling Zining and others, the prerequisite for passing the level is to have high attainments in body skills. Of course, the fact is not as difficult as what Ling Zining and others said before. There are still many people in the 29th generation of the Ling family. After passing the test of the first level, there are only a few people who can actually pass it perfectly.
By the time they were halfway through the journey, Ling Zining and others had clearly explained the characteristics of the secret room levels, which aroused people's imagination. Now even Lu Yunyou was very interested in those three levels.
The second level is the wooden stake room, which contains human stakes that can rotate on their own. The challenger must pass the level without being hit by the human stakes at one time to be successful.
If you fail to break through the level and are trapped in the human pile, you will suffer even more hardships than you did in the first level. Think about how a bare-handed person is constantly being slapped by a hard piece of wood.
The third level is more difficult. Legend has it that no one from the Ling family has been able to pass it since it was built. Ling Zining and others can’t explain what is going on inside. They can only say that the third level is ten or a hundred times more difficult than the second level. , Ling Zining and others' statements made the three of them even more curious, and they were all eager to see it.
"Why is it so far?" Unknowingly, he had reached the area where sixth-level martial arts practitioners usually practice. The wind behind him was making people feel uncomfortable, as if they were no longer walking by themselves, but were being moved by the wind. Fang Qing couldn't help but Complain.
Fang Qing's problem was also the problem of Ni Youbin and Lu Yunyou, but Lu Yunyou noticed that Ling Zining and the others were still calm and calm, and seemed to be very adaptable to the environment here, unlike the three of them who felt like being blown up by the wind every time they raised their feet. a feeling of.
"You three just have to be patient and we'll be there after walking a little longer." After seeing the situation of the three of them, Ling Zining was as expected.
"Why did your Ling family build the secret room so far away?" Fang Qing wondered.
"This is what our ancestors meant. The purpose is to let future generations know that if you don't have the courage to reach the place where you want to break through, there is no need to go through," Ling Zining said at the end, deliberately emphasizing his tone in order to further incite the three of them.
"Are there usually many people coming to break through the barrier?" After receiving Ling Zining's reply, Fang Qing could not reveal that he was already in a difficult situation, so he could only continue talking.
"No more, no less. In short, some tribesmen often go there to try to break through the level, because if they successfully break through the level, they will not only gain a certain reputation, but also get actual rewards." After saying this, the group walked through a forest of iron trees and finally finally Walk to the location of the secret room level.
Not far in front of them, there is a unique circular building with circular holes in many places on the outer wall. The whole building is three stories high. It is difficult to imagine how the ancestors of the Ling family built such a strange place like this. architecture.
The only explanation is that the existence of those iron trees has weakened the wind here. Although those iron trees do not have leaves, their trunks are thick and their branches are dense. They may have a role in blocking the wind to a certain extent, but Lu Yunyou and the other three did not feel it when they came here. Seeing the effect of the iron tree, I always felt that they might be blown away by the wind at any time.
"That's where the secret room is?" Pointing to the circular building, Fang Qing asked in surprise.
"That's right there," the next moment, Ling Zining nodded with certainty.
"Then take us in quickly." According to Fang Qing's idea, we won't be blown by the wind all the time when we get there. He wants to get in and take shelter from the wind as soon as possible.
"Yes," nodded, Ling Zining and others walked in front and led the three of them into the building.
Just as Fang Qing thought, because of the wall design inside, he felt much more relaxed after entering.
