As the test began, Ye Li experienced hallucinations once again.
This time, he sat at the source of the piano sound, and the impact he received was much stronger than before.
However, after the promotion, Ye Li's soul and spirit have undergone significant changes, and he seems more calm when fighting against the sound of the piano.
Sitting in his seat, he calmed his mind and broke free from the illusion without much effort.
At this moment, he just sat quietly in his seat, enjoying the piano music played by Dongfang Caiyi. If you ignore the powerful force of the piano music, Seven Lines of Soul-Separation Song is actually a very beautiful piece of music.
Listening to Dongfang Caiyi's piano music from dense forests to mountains and rivers, and then to golden wind and thunder and fire in the end, Ye Li felt that it was a complete enjoyment.
There was no need to fight against Dongfang Caiyi's power, as he was completely immersed in the music.
Dongfang Caiyi is proficient in the attributes of the seven lines and has profound attainments in music. This seven-line soul-separation song is a perfect work that belongs to her alone.
After her interpretation, the piano sound was combined with the seven attributes, and the music showed some characteristics of the seven attribute powers in the form of sound changes.
While appreciating it, Ye Li was also deepening his understanding of the spirit of the five elements.
As the sound of the piano rose and fell, an inexplicable ring of the five elements actually appeared on his body.
This Five Elements Ring is no longer composed of the power of the five elements, but is a change in the soul. Ordinary people cannot see it at all. Only Qi Wei and Dongfang Caiyi can perceive it.
In Ye Li's special five elements ring, the invisible spiritual forces complement each other and rotate with each other. Each attribute can be fully integrated with other attributes to form a new power.
Because Qi Wei’s cultivation was too high, he could directly sense the five elements spirit emanating from Ye Li’s soul.
As for Dongfang Caiyi, because they were all releasing spiritual power of various attributes with their souls, they resonated with Ye Li's power.
She also comprehended something deeper from Ye Li's Five Elements Ring. At this moment, the power of her piano sound became even stronger.
Among the dozen or so young people on the surrounding platforms, except Ye Li, everyone else was in a rather difficult situation and needed to try their best to silently resist the power of the piano sound.
As for Ye Li, the five elements attributes of his Five Elements Ring were self-contained and completely eliminated the power of the piano sound, so it was the easiest for him to achieve the low level.
It seemed as if some kind of connection had been established between him and Dongfang Caiyi. The two sides confirmed and communicated with each other out of thin air. As a result, each of them gained something, and their understanding of the power of each attribute became more and more advanced.
With these changes, the situation of the young people taking the test around them became more difficult.
They were simply unable to resist the power of the piano music and began to fall into the water one after another. Their spiritual power was exhausted and they were defeated.
Today's test ended even faster than the day before. Dongfang Caiyi's thunder and fire had just started to play when there was no one left on the entire river surface. All of them fell into the water.
The young men on the platform, except Ye Li, were all sweating. Although they were all very strong, they still seemed to be struggling when they relied solely on their spirits to resist the sound of the piano without using spiritual energy and talismans.
Dongfang Caiyi finally stopped what she was doing and the music of the piano came to an abrupt end after she realized that there was no contestant left.
Unconsciously, she and Ye Li looked at each other again.
The two looked at each other this time, and there were some changes in their eyes. Ye Li's eyes became more gentle, and when he looked at Dongfang Caiyi, it was as if he was looking at a familiar person, without the vague sense of strangeness as before.
When Dongfang Caiyi looked at Ye Li, her expression became much warmer, obviously not as cold as usual.
After the piano music ended, the others woke up from their resistance and looked at Dongfang Caiyi with different eyes.
After all, this time, all of them felt pressure from the music, and it was obvious that Dongfang Caiyi's power had become even stronger.
When these dozen people looked at Ye Li and found that his face was not even a bit red, their eyes were shocked and their expressions became serious.
The higher people's evaluation of Ye Li, the more they fear him. After all, they will become competitors to each other, and no one dares to ignore a powerful enemy.
Qi Wei looked at the people who fell into the water around him with a smile. After Dongfang Caiyi's piano music stopped, he finally nodded with a smile on his face and said, "Okay, it seems that none of you can pass this test again."
After he finished speaking, he paused for a moment, then continued, "Now that I think about it, there aren't that many people in my Imperial City who have made mistakes. Among all of you, Ye Li is the only exception."
Qi Wei actually wanted to take this opportunity to tell all those who doubted the Imperial City's selection criteria that their Imperial City was absolutely fair.
The people they selected to be qualified to participate in the city entrance trial had definitely gone through a long period of inspection. Most of the people who thought they were qualified to participate in the city entrance trial were actually not qualified and were far inferior to the elites they selected.
After looking around, Qi Wei knew that his goal had been achieved, so he continued, "This time, I made an exception and gave everyone a chance to take the test.
However, there will probably not be such an opportunity again in the future. Of course, even if there is another chance for a test, the punishment for your failure will not be too light.
At least it won’t be like this time, where you just fell into the water. You may end up dying.”
When he said the last sentence, Qi Wei's eyes turned cold and he scanned the surroundings with an extremely stern look.
Even though they were at a very long distance, everyone felt as if the entire sky was pressing down on them, making it hard for them to breathe.
Although Ye Li didn't know what level Qi Wei's cultivation was, he could feel that the old man in front of him was stronger than the four ancestors of the four major chambers of commerce, and also stronger than his master Ou Qianxie.
This feeling was very strange. He couldn't explain his own judgment criteria at all, but he could vaguely feel the difference.
Wherever Qi Wei's eyes swept, no one dared to look him in the eye. Even though they were at a long distance, they all lowered their heads.
After looking around, Qi Wei finally relaxed his momentum, and then continued: "Okay, we have stayed in Paradise City long enough, and the city entrance trial will not wait for us. Now is the time for us to set off.
Ten days later, we will arrive at the Imperial City, where there will be participants brought back by other teams. You will take part in the trial together and compete for the top four places.
I'm informing you in advance that the trial will be very difficult. You must be well prepared in the next ten days. Those who haven't fully adapted to the changes in their own strength should also adapt as soon as possible."
