Apprentice Task 16

  Hong Cheng's XP skills may have inferior defense and single attack compared to his Golden Fury, but Hong Cheng's group kill is too perverted.

  More than ten demon cultivators were actually taken down just like that!

  "What skill is this?" Feng Wu looked at Yu Di and asked.

  The Emperor saw Feng Wu and looked at him. He knew he couldn't hide it anymore, after all, Feng Wu's high IQ was something he had experienced before.

  In fact, Feng Wu inferred from two aspects that Hong Cheng's skills were not ordinary skills or professional skills.

  Firstly, the power of skills; even S-level skills are unlikely to achieve such a terrifying effect, and now players who possess S-level skills are as rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns.

  The second is the emperor's reaction. Apparently, he possesses or knows about Hong Cheng's skill, otherwise he shouldn't have shown this expression and should be showing a stunned expression like Ye Xiao Xing.

  "This is called XP skills, every player can comprehend after level 10, but the prerequisite condition is that the emotional value reaches the standard. The so-called emotional value refers to color, sound, fragrance, taste, touch, and law; joy, anger, sorrow, fear, love, hatred, desire, each reaching an extreme." Yu Di explained.

  Feng Wudao said: "With such a powerful skill, shouldn't there be many restrictive conditions?"

  "Uh-huh, XP skills can only be used once a day, each time it can only last for 1 minute, and when activated, your emotions must reach the awakening standard of 10%." Yu Di nodded in response.

  Feng Wu listened and thought for a moment, saying: "It seems that this XP skill is not so easy to comprehend. We know about it, but don't let others find out."

  From Hong Cheng's understanding of XP skills, it can be inferred that this kind of XP skill requires extreme emotions to trigger. Ordinary people may be able to intentionally adjust their emotions, but it is difficult to truly reach the extreme. Moreover, those who know about XP skills will find it even harder to awaken, because when the time comes, they will intentionally try to feel sad or angry, which will only make it more difficult!

  It's like you're playing a game where the rule is that you can't laugh, but ironically, this makes it even more likely to make you laugh.

  This is also the reason why Feng Wu let people know that they are not allowed to say it out loud, because saying it out loud will only make it harder for players to awaken XP skills.

  "If only the president had grasped the XP skills at that time..." Ye Xiaoxin said, wiping away tears.

  Feng Wu looked around and said, "Alright, let's hurry up and leave. Hong Cheng has already used his XP skill today, if the demon cultivator finds us again, it'll be troublesome."

  Everyone listened and followed him immediately. The residents of this small town had long been frightened by Hong Cheng's exaggerated moves, so they didn't encounter any obstruction all the way.

  After leaving the small town, they finally stayed on a small hill, where there was an abandoned temple halfway up the mountain that could serve as a temporary residence.

  "Feng Wu, you said that a righteous Daoist might be able to find us?" Yu Di asked, sitting on a rock.

  Feng Wu smiled and said: "Within today, they will find us, and even if they don't come to find us, when that female cultivator wakes up, she will also think of a way to contact the Five Peaks Immortal Sect, so there is no need to rush for now."

  "It's settled then, with Zhuang Xiaowei here, entering the Immortal Gate is a certainty." Yuandi laughed loudly.

  But in the end, just like an unsealed prophecy, when the sky was darkening, several monks descended from the sky.

  After understanding the details, a female cultivator took Zhuang Xiaowei away, while the other two cultivators brought Feng Wu to that floating mountain in the sky.

  Lin Yiyi was still waiting for those who failed, and when she saw Feng Wu and the others come over, she immediately asked about Xu Lao Dao and the Taoist's situation. When she learned that Xu Lao Dao and the Taoist had both died, she let out a soft sigh. However, since the five of them were from different sects and didn't have extremely deep feelings for each other, she wasn't too heartbroken, just a little sentimental.

  Then she explained the location of each sect to everyone, but Lin Yiyi was depressed because Feng Wu and others all chose Huashan Sect!

  "These people with a spiritual affinity value of 100, how did they all choose the Huashan School? Is the Huashan School going to rise again?" Lin Yiyi thought to herself as she watched the last person enter the Huashan School's formation.

  Feng Wu had already entered the area where Guan Yu was located, looking at Guan Yu standing in the middle of a small point, and then Feng Wu looked at the notice on the side.

  "After finishing, he opened his mouth and said: 'Everyone should be mentally prepared. Ahead is an illusion array. Once you enter, it will test your moral character, wisdom, and endurance!'"

  "Damn it, old brother I'm slow-witted, won't be able to get through this!" Yu Di cursed.

  However, after Feng Wu entered, he quickly followed up, and then everyone else also swarmed in.

  The scene changed, and Feng Wu suddenly appeared on a wide road. He walked over to take a look at the signpost, and within an hour he ran into the city.

  "He actually gave us a map...... I see." Feng Wu finished reading and laughed.

  What is meant by testing the nature of goods is simply giving you a very long road and asking you to run to that city within a limited time.

  Because the road is too long, it's definitely not possible to run in one hour, so you might think of a detour, because the map indicates that the city is on the other side of the road, if you cross over the big mountain, it will shorten a lot of time.

  What's your personality like?

  Perhaps ancient people couldn't see through this test method, but for modern people like them, it's too simple.

  Feng Wú immediately started sprinting on the main road, and if one were to look from outside the illusion, they would find that he was indeed running, and everyone around him was also running, only they were running around the formation, while Guān Yǔ stood still in the middle.

  After about thirty minutes, everyone stopped and rested for a while before continuing to run.

  "Is it over for today?"

  In the fantasy realm, Feng Wu looked up at the sky, which had no color, and the road was still very long.

  "No way, this road can confuse people's sense of time. Now it's absolutely not a day, if it were a day later, I should have lost my qualifications. It seems that the wisdom of the ancients cannot be underestimated!"

  He ran on one side and thought on the other, and soon discovered the secret of this road. If it were an ancient person, even if they had seen through the purpose of the notice ahead, choosing to run honestly throughout the journey would still lead to mental collapse due to confusion of time perception, or giving up or taking a detour due to excessive pressure, all of which would result in failure of the test.

  He finally arrived in the city after what felt like two days.

  There is no one in the city, and in the middle of the city there is a statue of Yang Jian.

  "Whoever enters the Five Peaks Immortal Gate must pay homage to the Great Immortal of the Five Peaks!" Feng Wu looked at the notice and then gazed down at the straw mat on the ground.

  So that's how it is!

  Feng Wu smiled faintly and then knelt down in front of the statue, knocking his head three times. In an instant, the illusion disappeared, and he had already passed through the formation, standing on the other side.

  Character is what you will do when no one else is looking, in running it's about testing your wits, and the run itself is a test of endurance!

  But none of these difficulties can daunt him!

  After a while, Yu Huang was sent out by the formation method, and then everyone else passed the test one after another.

  "It's strange, why hasn't he come out yet?" Ye Xiaoxin looked at Guan Yu and said with a puzzled expression.

  To be honest, this trial in the illusion array is not too difficult for players like them. Perhaps it's only challenging for ordinary people.

  "It must be that he wasn't clever enough and gave up on the way." Yu Di chuckled.

  Feng Wu shook his head and said calmly: "He has realized it, but yet he is still obstinately ignorant...unenlightened!"

  "Feng Ge, you used the idiom incorrectly, it should be 'obstinately ignorant' or 'refusing to wake up to reality'," Wen Huan said with a smile.

  Feng Wuxiao said: "No, it's just obstinacy and ignorance!"

  What he said is right, Guan Yu understood, but he was obstinately ignorant!

  At this time he was looking at Erlang Shen's statue in his illusion, without any intention of kneeling down.

  "So that's how it is! Good guy, I'm convinced!" Yu Huang suddenly understood and laughed.

  They knelt down, but their hearts were devoid of respect. Guan Yu was different; not only did he have no respect in his heart, but he also didn't even think about kneeling before the statue.

  "How can I leave this illusion?"

  In the fantasy realm, Guan Yu slowly approached Erlang Shen's statue, thinking to himself.

  The designer of this illusion is quite formidable, as the illusion is too realistic, and Guan Yu's current realm is not enough, so he has no idea how to break out of the illusion.

  In fact, there is still a problem with the designer's thinking on the Phantom Array.

  When he designed it, those who failed halfway and speculators would be sent out of the formation and lose their qualifications.

  However, after entering the city, only by worshiping Erlang's statue can one leave; otherwise, they will be trapped in the illusion formation, even if they leave this town.

  Because in the hearts of cultivators, ordinary people have long been accustomed to kneeling and worshiping gods and Buddhas, so ordinary people who can reach the town will not give up the opportunity to enter the immortal gate and will definitely kneel and worship.

  Guan Yu suddenly looked up at Erlang Shen and wondered if he could leave if he destroyed this Erlang Shen.

  He does whatever he wants!

  In an instant, he punched the Erlang Shen statue, at which time a mighty force suddenly burst out from the statue, causing Guan Yu to retreat three or four steps.

  "How dare you profane the sacred statue of the Great Deity of the Five Peaks!!" The statue suddenly opened its eyes and rebuked angrily.

  Guan Yu Dan said: "I dare you, how could you also be so bold as to impersonate the Great Immortal of the Five Peaks!"

  “…………”

  The statue suddenly fell silent, then gradually turned back into a stiff statue. An old man floated out of the statue at this time, his body transformed from virtual to real.

  "Hahaha, what a sharp-tongued little devil." The old man laughed and said.

  Guan Yu looked at the old man and asked: "Who are you?"

  "I am the creator of this formation, but what you see now is just a wisp of divine consciousness that I left behind back then." The old man said with a smile.

  Guan Yu furrowed his brow and asked, "I want to leave this formation now, you should have a way, right?"

  "Of course there is, but with one condition!" The old man said with a smile, his hand occasionally stroking his beard.

  "Speak!" Guan Yu said coldly.

  "Kowtow to me three times, and I'll let you leave!" The old man said with a smile, extremely sinister.

  Guan Yu suddenly said coldly: "A man has gold under his knees, how can he casually kneel down to others? I think it's impossible for me to kneel down to you!"

  In Guan Yu's memory, he only kneeled down to one person, and that was his grandfather. Others wanting him to kneel? No way!

  "What a proud and arrogant skeleton! Unfortunately, people with such bones usually don't live long!" The old man said faintly, his eyes slightly open.

  "A person without pride is nothing but trash even if they're alive!"

  "Hmm, I like this phrase." The old man stroked his beard and suddenly laughed, truly mercurial.

  In an instant, Guan Yu was sent out of the illusion array, but he didn't appear on the side of the successful ones, instead, he appeared in the position of the failures.

  He slowly opened his right hand and found a jade pendant in it with a single character 'white' written on it.

  Just as he was about to leave the illusion, in the last moment, he heard the old man say: "Youngster, you have passed my test, come find me!"

  At this time, the task panel popped up and strangely changed the copy mainline task. The task has become... Apprenticeship!
