Chapter 87 I’m Still Too Decent…

Under the gaze of thousands of people, the lifelike Dayang stood in the center of the circular platform, pointing to the vast sky!

Because their appetite was too high at the beginning, they were caught off guard when they suddenly saw this weird thing. More than 20 of the more than 30 contestants present exploded on the spot.

The other audience members were also embarrassed and clicked their tongues.

The two little Taoist nuns who came from the Imperial Observatory suddenly saw this thing. One of them blushed red, and the echo drum under her buttocks roared like thunder. The other one's eyelashes moved slightly, but she suppressed the waves in her heart.

Although Wei Lu and Zhang Huaiyu were not in a bad mood, they stopped joking and sat up straighter.

After all, the appetizers are so outrageous. I'm afraid someone will die on the spot in today's competition...

Xie Jinhuan, on the other hand, was as steady as an old dog, and shrugged slightly, probably meaning:

That's it? !
Do you know what a sixteen-foot luxury car is?

Do you know what a giant white-haired spider that’s bigger than a bed is?
……

Of course he also glanced at Mo Mo beside him.

Linghu Qingmo's heart was indeed in turmoil, but he was frightened by the crazy young lady from Chongming River all day long in the past, and he knew that these playboys had no bottom line in giving advice, so he had anticipated it in advance. Although he still felt a little emotional when he sat down to respond to the drum, he forced his heart rate to be stable within the threshold, with a blank expression on his face, silently reciting the meditation mantra.

dong dong dong...

The drumbeats gradually died down, and as everyone left the arena, only seven people remained on the originally bustling arena, all of whom possessed remarkable self-control.

Zhang Huaiyu glanced at it and said:

"If it's just this thing, I'm afraid it will be difficult to determine the winner between me and Brother Wei. Mr. Fan, what other tricks do you have? Show them all."

Fan Guangyuan created the first two levels just to get rid of the idlers and avoid paying out bonuses. He raised his hand and asked someone to take the national treasure away, saying in a friendly manner:
"Don't worry. If Young Master Wei demands 'disgrace and ruin', I will certainly achieve what he wants. The first two levels are just appetizers. Now that the place is big, everyone, come up."

Seeing this, the rest of the people came to the round platform.

Xie Jinhuan also stood up and walked onto the stage with Linghu Qingmo, praising him along the way:
"You have good concentration. I thought you would hide your face and walk away."

Linghu Qingmo was afraid that Xie Jinhuan would stir up trouble in his heart, so he sat cross-legged on the echo drum, motionless as a mountain!

The owner of the Jinlou waited until everyone was ready, then clapped his hands without saying anything. Several strong men once again carried a platform covered with red cloth and came among the crowd.

"If you pass the second level, Jinlou will have to compensate you with one hundred taels of silver each, so this level is quite difficult. I won't introduce what's inside, so feel free to make wild guesses!"

There were only seven contestants left, and they all perked up at this.

The onlookers around also began to talk nonsense:
"The first level is so outrageous, what the hell is the second level?"

"Yang versus Yin, I think this time there will be great joy..."

"Impossible. If the questions are set like this, I can do it too..."

……

Gulp~ Gulp~…

Maybe because the first level was too outrageous, many people's heartbeats accelerated slightly this time, and they were obviously a little nervous.

Xie Jinhuan was also secretly guessing what it was. The next object couldn't be any more outrageous, so it might be some kind of treasure.

For example, 'Jia Zi Lian', he is in dire need of this thing now, and he will definitely feel uneasy when he sees it, but he assumes that this is Jia Zi Lian, and he can't get it anyway, so he can calm down.

As for other things, they are not enough to pique his interest at the moment...

Linghu Qingmo carefully regulated his breathing and waited for Jinlou to attack again.

The owner of the Jinlou also knows how to create a show effect. He would drag it out for a while, waiting until everyone was almost out of breath and the audience was eagerly waiting, before suddenly pulling open the red cloth.

brush--

Everyone looked at the things on the plate!
The result is the next moment:
shhhhh--

As soon as the red cloth was torn open, the honeycomb-shaped sphere inside shot out silver light over an inch long in all directions.

From a distance, it resembled a torrential downpour of pear blossoms, shooting towards the seven contestants seated on the echo drums! When faced with unexpected changes, those with deep foundations can enter a state of "overload," experiencing accelerated heartbeats, a sense of time slowing down, and an incredible clarity of mind. This positive change wouldn't trigger the echo drums.

Those with weak foundation will become panic-stricken, frightened and dazed.

When the seven people on the stage saw this, three of them jumped up to avoid it or covered themselves in fear.

Wei Lu already grasped the sword at his waist with his right hand; Zhang Huaiyu rolled up his sleeves.

Linghu Qingmo wanted to draw his sword, but before he could make a move, he found a sudden strong wind sweeping past him!

Glancing out of the corner of his eye, he saw Xie Jinhuan standing beside him. The sword at his waist had been unsheathed at some point, and he swung forward and slashed!

Choking——

The three-foot green sword was wrapped in a powerful energy, and the strong wind it brought was like a mad dragon breaking through the sea, whistling past the side of the owner of the Jinlou.

The silver needles, like a rainstorm of pear blossoms, had just flown out a few feet when the terrifying sword energy arrived. Like a horizontal typhoon, it instantly swept away the silver needles that were shot towards all the contestants!
puff puff~
The silver needle seemed sharp, but when it was slightly torn by the energy, it exploded into white powder mist, dyeing the powerful sword energy white, like a white python passing through Wei Lu and Zhang Huaiyu.

Boom——

Wei Lu and Zhang Huaiyu were not afraid of silver needles or hidden weapons, but when Xie Jinhuan attacked them from the front with a Crazy Dragon Tail Sweep, if they didn't dodge it it would not be because they had good concentration, but because they were afraid of losing their lives. They almost dodged to the side at the same time.

bang——

The flying dust rushed along the river surface for several feet before floating down, and the banks of the river fell into dead silence.

Several people who flew backwards to avoid the incident landed on the cruise ship, looking a little dazed.

Wei Lu and Zhang Huaiyu, who flew out, looked surprised and suspicious.

Lin Wanyi and Qinwen were also startled at first, but after they came to their senses, their eyes were filled with stars.
"Wow, so handsome! Master Xie is so agile..."

"That's not right... No, that's not right, you idiot, just protect yourself, why are you blocking for others? Isn't that a loss..."

"Eh? That's right! We can't disturb others..."

……

The owner of Jinlou was brushed past by the sword wind, and it felt like a dump truck whizzing past him, and he shrank his neck in fear.

When he reacted, he realized that only Xie Jinhuan and Linghu Qingmo were sitting there. The others had all jumped out in shock, their eyes blank.

"Uh, this..."

Along the riverbanks, noises gradually rose:

"what happened?"

"What does this mean..."

"Why are you carrying a hidden weapon?"

……

Xie Jinhuan's reaction speed was already exaggerated. The ghost wife didn't remind him just now, and when he suddenly found the rain of pear blossoms flying around, his first reaction was definitely to sweep them all away. To prevent accidental injury, he also aimed at the gap between the two people opposite to avoid accidental injury due to the qi.

As a result, the two cowards on the opposite side were actually scared away!
Seeing the white mist rising, Xie Jinhuan knew he had broken the rules. Not only did he not get the reward, but he also lost the five hundred taels of silver and the dividends. He could not help but feel heartbroken and turned to look at the owner of the Jinlou:
"This exam question is too shameless. Without knowing the truth beforehand, as long as they can stop it, they will definitely take action. Could it be that the 'willpower' that the Golden Tower is testing is 'I'd rather die than let my fellow Taoist die'? If so, I, Xie Jinhuan, accept defeat!"

The people watching on the shore reacted after hearing this and began to criticize:
"Yeah! How could you do something like this?"

"How can this be a test of willpower? Those who act out of righteousness will inevitably lose, while those who only care about self-preservation will win. How can this be justified in the world?"

"Bah! You're a Confucian disciple, a top student of Snow Eagle Ridge, but you only have skills. When faced with trouble, you just hide away. You're not even a hair behind Master Xie. You're awesome, you win..."

"Give me back my money!"
