Douluo: Dragon King: Natural God King

Chapter 166: The third level is easy! (Please give me a monthly ticket!)
The queue waiting for the exam kept moving forward, and soon it was the turn of Jing Shaoyu and the other two.

The gate slowly opened, and Jing Shaoyu and the other two walked into the gate at Shen Yi's signal. Behind the gate was an open space, on which were placed a bunch of stone doors, which were connected to each other to form several corridors. On the top of each of these stone doors hung a giant guillotine that was two meters long, one meter wide, and nearly fifty centimeters thick. The blade of the guillotine was very sharp, emitting a daunting knife light.

"So many guillotines!" Xu Xiaoyan's face changed slightly and he said in surprise.

"The third level is a test of reaction speed!" Shen Yi said, "See this row of guillotine doors? You have one minute to prepare. After I say start, you must pass through here. You will pass only if you finish within 30 seconds. For every three seconds less, you will get one point, and for every three seconds more, you will get one point less.

There are two points to note. First, the closer you are to the finish line, the faster the guillotine will be. These are real guillotines. If you are hit, you will die. Second, there is no lower limit for the score of this level. If you cannot pass it, you will be directly cancelled.

Guillotine, rise! "

As he spoke, Shen Yi gestured in a certain direction. A "clang" sound came from the stone door guillotine, and the huge guillotines immediately moved. "Keng--" When the first guillotine fell from the sky and fiercely chopped into the groove under the door, the blade rubbed against the stone threshold, and sparks flew. However, the guillotine did not linger, and quickly pulled up, returned to the top, and then chopped down again, and there was another muffled "Keng--" sound.

The guillotines rose and fell in a regular pattern, emitting muffled groans, interweaving into a unique rhythmic melody.

However, Jing Shaoyu and the other two were not in the mood to appreciate the music. They all looked at the guillotine rising and falling in front of them with serious expressions, quickly thinking of how to deal with it in their minds.

"Get ready." Shen Yi began to count down. She said, "In one minute, we will start the challenge!"

"Brother Xiaoyu!" Xu Xiaoyan's face was pale, and her little hands tightly grasped the corner of Jing Shaoyu's clothes. The terrifying guillotine in front of her made the little girl feel afraid.

Jing Shaoyu reached out and stroked her back, his eyes wandering as he said, "Pass this level within thirty seconds. The longest distance here is sixteen doors, and the shortest distance is six doors. This level does not have a requirement for the number of doors, so we will just choose the shortest one. Gu Yue, bless with the wind element."

"Okay." Gu Yue's face was calm. When she heard Jing Shaoyu's words, she immediately raised her hand. Three green lights flew out and landed on her, Jing Shaoyu and Xu Xiaoyan. The green light turned into green birds and flew around the three of them.

Jing Shaoyu only felt that his body became much lighter.

"Xiaoyan, are you okay?" Jing Shaoyu looked at Xu Xiaoyan and asked in a deep voice.

"Brother Xiaoyu, I..." Xu Xiaoyan hesitated, but when she saw Jing Shaoyu's eyes, she suddenly felt a surge of courage in her heart. She clenched her little pink fist, nodded firmly, and said, "I can!"

"Okay!" Jing Shaoyu's eyes were deep. He gently patted Xu Xiaoyan's shoulder and said, "Then you go first. Gu Yue and I will protect you."

When Xu Xiaoyan heard that she was the first one, a trace of panic inevitably appeared on her face, but she did not back down and said firmly: "Okay! No problem!"

"Gu Yue, let's protect Xiaoyan." Jing Shaoyu looked at Gu Yue with a serious and earnest look and said.

Gu Yue looked at Jing Shaoyu's sincere gaze and nodded.

"Ten, nine, eight..." Shen Yi began the countdown. As the numbers got smaller and smaller, the third exam for Jing Shaoyu and the other two was about to begin.

Xu Xiaoyan took a deep breath, her eyes determined, and her petite body began to move gently. From time to time, a star-like glow flashed in the depths of her eyes.

"Begin!" Shen Yi shouted, and the assessment officially began!
With Shen Yi's loud shout, Xu Xiaoyan rushed out instantly, Jing Shaoyu and Gu Yue also took action immediately. Jing Shaoyu raised his hand, and the Origin Elf Martial Spirit possessed his body. Then countless willow branches rushed out from the Crown of Nature, rushing towards the guillotine that was rapidly falling on the stone gate. Gu Yue let out a low chanting sound, turned his hands to the sky, and a ball of yellow light gushed out from under the stone gate in an instant, turning into a stone pillar, directly blocking the guillotine that was about to fall.

Xu Xiaoyan rushed into the corridor formed by stone doors and rushed forward, not caring at all about the guillotine falling on her head, because she believed that Jing Shaoyu would definitely protect her.

This was indeed the case. The six guillotines of the six gates, except for the guillotine of the first gate which was directly blocked by the stone pillar summoned by Gu Yue, the remaining five guillotines were firmly wrapped around the door frame by the willow branches of the Qingyue Willow. With the power of the five thousand year old Qingyue Willow, the movement of the guillotines was temporarily blocked. Xu Xiaoyan arrived at the finish line unimpeded. When she stood at the finish line, an expression of disbelief first appeared on her face, followed by an ecstatic smile. She jumped up excitedly and shouted loudly to Jing Shaoyu at the starting point: "Brother Xiaoyu, I did it! I did it!"

Jing Shaoyu heard Xu Xiaoyan's cheers and made a great gesture to her, then looked at Gu Yue beside him and said, "Gu Yue, let's go!"

"Hmm!" Gu Yue nodded slightly, then followed Jing Shaoyu into the corridor formed by stone doors.

When Jing Shaoyu and Gu Yue passed the first stone gate, the stone pillar that was holding up the guillotine finally couldn't hold on, and it shattered with a loud bang to fill the crack. The guillotine that had been held up for a long time was like a dragon ascending to the sky, and it came down with a long-accumulated force, hitting the stone threshold and causing it to shake.

The fall of the first guillotine was like a command, and the five guillotines that followed also broke through the branches of the Green Moon Willow one after another. The sharpness of the guillotines filled the surrounding air with a murderous aura.

However, this had no effect on Jing Shaoyu and Gu Yue. They had already reached the finish line before the last guillotine cut the branches of the Qingyue Willow and they fell rapidly.

Shen Yi stood at the finish line, watching how the three people passed the level. He had a speechless expression on his face, but didn't say anything.

This third level may seem like a test of reaction ability, but it is actually a test of courage. The guillotine is like a life-and-death test in the future. If you are not fearless of life and death, then no matter how talented you are, you are useless. So for this level, as long as you can take the first step, then the way you pass the next level is not important.

The method of directly controlling the guillotine and preventing it from falling, as Jing Shaoyu and Gu Yue did, can be said to be extremely simple and violent. Without sufficient confidence and trust, it may not be possible to do it.

At least, Shen Yi once again felt how powerful Jing Shaoyu's abilities and talents were. At the same time, he also realized his incomparable status and importance in the hearts of the two girls, Gu Yue and Xu Xiaoyan. Xu Xiaoyan was obviously very scared, but she acted without hesitation because of Jing Shaoyu's words. This was completely putting her life in his hands!

Shen Yi didn't know what to say. Looking at the three young men who were laughing and happy, she could only smile. These three people, no matter their character or talent, will definitely become the leading figures of Shrek Academy in the future. The senior brother really has good intentions!

Wu Changkong's image became even more prominent in Shen Yi's mind.

"You three, come here." Shen Yi waved at them and said with a smile.

"Teacher Shen, how are our results in this level?" Jing Shaoyu asked.

"Xu Xiaoyan took nine seconds, which is a perfect score." Shen Yi informed him, "You and Gu Yue took fifteen seconds, which is also a perfect score."

"Yeah!" Upon hearing that the three of them had all scored full marks, Xu Xiaoyan, who had been a little nervous before, immediately shouted excitedly, hugged Jing Shaoyu and shouted, "Brother Xiaoyu, we got full marks again!"

"Yeah!" Jing Shaoyu also smiled happily.

Without staying at the third level, the three of them registered their respective scores and immediately followed Shen Yi to the location of the fourth test.

On the way to the fourth test site, the number of candidates was already very small. Jing Shaoyu and the other two were not surprised by this, because the number of candidates at each level was decreasing sharply. At the first level, the number of candidates exceeded 500, but at the second level, it was less than 300. By the third level, there were only 11 candidates ahead of them. Although there were many people behind them, there were undoubtedly less than 200 people.

The difficulty of Shrek Academy's entrance examination can be imagined. There are nearly a thousand applicants each time, but only one hundred and fifty are finally admitted. The gap of more than eight hundred people is the result of ten levels of assessment.
