"Friend Bai." Shen Luo walked towards the figure walking towards him and spoke.
"Fellow Daoist Shen, you are here too." Bai Linglong nodded and said calmly.
"Why is Bei Ming Kun gone?" Shen Luo asked with a frown.
"I separated from him halfway and haven't seen him coming over yet." Bai Linglong shook her head.
After seeing Shen Luo, Sun Wukong wanted to come over as well, but Manjushri Bodhisattva shook his head at him, signaling him not to have too much contact. After a slight hesitation, he just greeted Shen Luo from a distance.
After Shen Luo returned the greeting, he withdrew his gaze and asked Bai Linglong, "Are you waiting for me and Bei Ming Kun here?"
Upon hearing this, the latter shook his head, took him a dozen feet away, pointed to a black stone tablet embedded in the ground, and said, "You will know it at a glance."
Shen Luo was filled with surprise. He lowered his head and carefully examined the black stone tablet. He saw a faint light floating on it, and there was actually a line of small golden characters floating on it:
"The second level test will begin in three days. Those who fail to reach this level will be imprisoned in the first level forever. Those who leave this level without permission will be teleported out of the tower."
With just a few simple sentences, it was made clear that only those who passed the first level test and were teleported to the second level could accept the second level test, and the test location was in the black square under their feet.
After getting this answer, Shen Luo was no longer in a hurry and sat down cross-legged.
"Is the content of the second level assessment clearly stated on the stone slab?" Shen Luo asked again.
"I haven't seen it. I arrived two days ago. The text displayed on the black stone slab changed. There was only the countdown time, no other information." Bai Linglong shook her head and said.
"Then we can only wait." Shen Luo nodded.
…
After a full day, the fifth person finally appeared in the square. It was Samantabhadra Bodhisattva who was with Sun Wukong.
When he appeared, his clothes were a little disheveled and he looked as if he had just been through a battle.
However, Shen Luo did not communicate with them much, and no one knew what he had experienced.
In the evening of that day, three more people arrived at the Black Square. They were Mi Su, Yuan Zu and Tu Shan Tong, who had escaped after fighting with Shen Luo earlier.
When the three saw Shen Luo again, their expressions were somewhat complicated. Shen Luo, on the other hand, looked indifferent. He even had a faint smile on his face when he looked at them.
After reading the words on the stone tablet, Mi Su and the other two chose a place a little distance away from Shen Luo and the other two and sat cross-legged. They meditated and adjusted their breathing while waiting for the second level of the test to begin.
Everyone waited for a long time, until the evening of the third day, when Bei Ming Kun finally appeared.
His breathing was steady and his behavior was fine, with no signs of having been in a fierce battle. Shen Luo just looked up and nodded slightly to him as a greeting, without asking any questions.
Bei Ming Kun did not show any emotion about the fact that others had arrived at the second floor before him. After observing the surroundings, he went straight to the black stone slab, looked at it for a moment, found a corner, sat down cross-legged, and closed his eyes to rest.
"It seems that everyone's luck is pretty good." Shen Luo glanced at the other eight people scattered around and said to himself.
The first level is a test of luck. Even though it seems a bit unreasonable, it is probably the easiest test of all. Those who can enter this tower are not ordinary people, so it is normal for them to pass all of them.
