Immediately, Li Changsheng began to look at the surrounding environment. Not far ahead, there was a straight road leading directly to the foot of the mountain.
Before coming over, patriarch Li Wenbo handed over the handbook on the assessment of Yuanling Academy to Li Changsheng and the other four, hoping to increase their success rate.
After so many years, the family has sent talents to Yuanling Academy every year. Although the success rate of the assessment is not high, it has accumulated a lot of experience and experience related to the assessment. Li Wenbo specially compiled them into a book, at least to be able to prepare.
The road ahead may seem ordinary, but it is actually a very special road. It is said that it was designed by the first principal, and it is called the Road of Refining Hearts!
As long as you step into the road of refining your mind, you will fall into the illusion, and the illusion will become stronger as you go forward. Although it will not cause harm to the demon master, it will make people miserable.
As long as you pass the heart-training path within the specified time, you can take the second assessment, otherwise you will be disqualified and lose the opportunity to become a student.
At the end of Refining Heart Road, there is a building, and many people can be seen vaguely. That is the location of the second assessment.
Farther away, there is a steep mountain with countless cliffs and thick clouds and mist, and the visibility is extremely low. If you listen carefully, you can faintly hear the roars and screams of beasts.
There is the third assessment site, and the last one!
If you want to become a student of Yuanling Academy, you must pass three assessments, otherwise you will be eliminated as long as you fail one of them.
It's that cruel!
As one of the four colleges, countless talented demon masters are flocking to Yuanling Academy. Naturally, there is no shortage of students. Due to the limited number of teachers, in order to select the best students, cruelty is inevitable.
It didn't take long to wait. When the number reached one hundred, several mentors began to host the assessment.
Among these mentors, some are responsible for recording grades, and some are responsible for rescue. Of course, they also have to supervise each other to prevent anyone from violating the rules and harming the interests of the school.
"The first assessment is very simple. As long as you pass the mental training within an hour, you will be qualified for the next assessment! Alright, let's start!" After explaining the basic rules, a mentor announced the start of the assessment loudly.
Without hesitation, Li Changsheng took a deep breath and stepped into the path of refining his mind.
As soon as he set foot on the road of refining his mind, Li Changsheng's expression changed slightly, and he felt that his legs seemed to be filled with lead, and he was struggling.
There are two kinds of functions in mind training, one is gravity, according to the different state of the examinee, it will give a certain gravity oppression; the other is illusion, which is the perceptual experience for the examinee's sense organs.
This level mainly tests the candidates' endurance, perseverance and heart!
Except for the slightly heavy footsteps, there was nothing abnormal in the first few steps, but Li Changsheng didn't dare to be careless. Even with the assessment manual provided by his family, it was his first time experiencing the mind-training road, so he would inevitably feel uneasy.
Just when he took the next step, suddenly, the surrounding scene suddenly changed. All the candidates who were around him disappeared, replaced by an erupting volcano, and he was standing in the crater.
Scorching black smoke emitted from the volcano, and the surrounding temperature rose sharply. The viscous dark red magma surged wantonly, turning into a stormy wave, sweeping towards Li Changsheng.
Even though Li Changsheng was prepared, he was still taken aback by such a terrifying scene. This is human nature, mainly because the scene here is almost the same as reality.
Knowing that it is an illusion, but still feel fear.
Li Changsheng frowned slightly, calmed down, forcibly suppressed the fear in his heart, and turned a blind eye to the engulfing magma. In the blink of an eye, he was submerged by the waves of magma.
Although he knew it was an illusion, the scene seemed real, especially at the moment when he was submerged in magma. Li Changsheng felt that he could hardly breathe, his eyes were filled with crimson, and his whole body was wrapped in a viscous heat flow. He felt scorching heat from all his senses, nowhere was not hot, as if he was really submerged in magma.
"Fake, everything is fake! Otherwise, I will be wiped out at the moment of being submerged!" Li Changsheng always reminded himself that everything on the road of refining the mind is an illusion, so there is no need to pay attention to it.
Thinking about it this way, Li Changsheng still felt the same way, the ubiquitous magma was licking him all the time, and the unusually hot feeling made him extremely painful, but he still gritted his teeth, took firm steps, and moved on.
While enduring the pain of burning his body, he continued to move forward. Only Li Changsheng knew the pain, but he still managed to get through it with his tenacious will.
As time went by, Li Changsheng gradually got used to it. No matter how real he was, even if he deceived his senses and nerves, it was not a real volcano after all.
Step by step, and soon, the scene in front of him changed again, from a volcano to an iceberg, and he was standing on a piece of ice.
"The two heavens of ice and fire!" Li Changsheng wondered in his heart, the pain of being submerged in magma just now was still fresh in his memory.
poof~
Before Li Changsheng could react, all the nearby ice shattered. Li Changsheng stepped on the ground and fell into the water.
Li Changsheng gasped, as if his body was really submerged in icy water, he felt a biting cold feeling, which made him tremble uncontrollably.
Li Changsheng used his hands and feet together, and his head came out of the water.
Rumble~
Suddenly, the iceberg not far away moved and began to crush towards this side. Li Changsheng couldn't avoid it at all, but he didn't feel afraid, instead he took the initiative to swim towards the iceberg.
"Fake, everything is fake!" Li Changsheng reminded himself again and again, not to be deceived by the senses, even if he was about to touch the iceberg, his eyes never closed.
Boom~
In an instant, the iceberg hit Li Changsheng's body. Apart from the severe pain, Li Changsheng didn't feel anything extra, and he didn't even back away.
After all, the iceberg is not a real thing, so naturally it didn't knock Li Changsheng back. Illusions are illusions after all, except for the weak-hearted demon masters, everyone else must be able to pass through.
Time passed slowly. In the following time, Li Changsheng experienced scenes such as ten thousand arrows piercing the heart, Lingchi execution, water prison punishment, oil pot, tongue pulling prison, castration and so on. Every illusion was designed so vividly that it seemed real.
What impressed him the most was of course the castration. While Li Changsheng complained about the bad taste of the first principal, he couldn't help wondering what kind of scenes those female demon masters experienced. They didn't have XX, and the illusions that appeared must be different. Could it be that just thinking about it makes you shudder!
After experiencing many illusions, in Li Changsheng's heart at this time, he had already linked the first principal with the pervert, and only the pervert could design such an illusion.
I don't know how long it took, although he suffered from all kinds of 'torture', Li Changsheng got used to it and started to move forward at a faster speed.
He is very clear that there is a time limit for refining the mind, especially since the passage of time cannot be sensed here. If you can't arrive within the stipulated time, you will be eliminated from the competition.
Time passed slowly, and after half an hour, no one had reached the finish line at this time, but there were several people approaching the finish line, including Li Changsheng and Li Runfeng.
In comparison, some candidates didn't go far, and some even fainted on the way, and they didn't know what he had experienced in the illusion.
Many of these people are candidates from good families. These candidates have no shortage of resources, good clothes and good food. Naturally, it is difficult to polish their minds, which leads to weak will and is easy to be eliminated.
