Behind the second iron door was a huge pool. In the pool, the water was suffused with a pale green color.
"There's a problem with the pool water!"
Zhou Ping subconsciously came to a conclusion.
"Congratulations to the challenger for reaching the second stage.”
"In myths and legends, there is a type of water called weak water. On this kind of weak water, not even a goose feather could float. After the development of martial arts, people found a liquid similar to weak water in a certain place. This liquid was not poisonous, but it had an extremely high gravitational force. Everything on the surface of the water would be attracted by this liquid. The closer he was to the liquid, the stronger the gravitational force.”
"Martial arts experts also named this water weak water. What was surprising was that there were actually creatures living in such weak water. This creature was a type of fish that was similar to a piranha, and it was extremely aggressive. Their bite force was astonishing, and they could easily crush even steel plates. This kind of fish is called the iron-toothed fish."
"The liquid in this pool is weak water. Similarly, there were a large number of iron-toothed fish in the pool. The challenger had to pass through the weak pond and reach the other side of the pond to complete the challenge. All challengers, please continue to work hard and pass this stage.”
The electronic voice was still emotionless as it explained the second stage. Zhou Ping looked around and made some discoveries.
"Those who pass the first stage will receive a reward.”
After the electronic voice finished explaining the second stage, the topic suddenly changed.
"There are rewards for clearing the level?"
Zhou Ping was overjoyed. The system had rewarded him with an increase in points. He did not expect that there would be a reward for clearing the level itself. This added up to two rewards. How could Zhou Ping not be happy?
In the hall outside the seven checkpoints, Bureau Chief Zheng, the principal, and the others were all focused on the big screen. Even Li Xiaoyi, who had been knocked unconscious earlier, was sitting in the hall.
"There are rewards for clearing the level?" Zhou Ping's number one lackey, Fu Xueyi, asked.
"Of course there is." Bureau Chief Zheng was still staring at the screen, but he replied to Fang Xueyi's question.
"There is a reward for the effort. For ordinary martial artists, there is a risk of losing their lives. However, since he had passed it, there would naturally be a corresponding reward.”
"Then what will the reward be?" Fu Xueyi asked curiously.
"Cultivation techniques, weapons, pills, and traps. Generally speaking, the challenger will choose from these four items.”Bureau Chief Zheng's expression was solemn.
"Then what is the best choice?"
"Although there are four types of rewards, the specific rewards given out each time are different. Generally speaking, traps were the best choice, followed by weapons and pills, and the worst choice was cultivation techniques.”Bureau Chief Zheng didn't wait for Fu Xueyi to continue asking questions and continued to explain.
"Because the stages are continuous, what is needed is something that can be used immediately. Depending on the specific effects of the traps, they could often play a very important role at critical times, so traps were generally the first choice. For many warriors, weapons were an important factor in increasing their combat strength. And medicinal pills could also have miraculous effects depending on the specific effects.”
"For example, the Small Recovery Pill can heal injuries. The Small Origin Returning Pill could recover internal strength. As for the small berserk pill, it could make a person become berserk for a short period of time, increasing their strength and internal strength by a large margin. Therefore, choosing pills was a good choice.”
"The worst thing is to choose a cultivation technique!”
Bureau Chief Zheng said a lot in one breath and felt a little thirsty. Fu Xueyi quickly brought a cup of tea over.
"Choosing a cultivation technique is the worst choice. Is it because cultivation techniques require time and cannot be immediately converted into strength?”Fu Xueyi quickly asked while Bureau Chief Zheng was drinking water.
"Not only that." Bureau Chief Zheng took a sip of tea to moisten his throat and continued his explanation.
"The rewards here are not top-notch items, and the same goes for cultivation techniques. If he could pass the trial, there would naturally be many forces recruiting him. Why would he be afraid of not having a good cultivation technique? Therefore, no matter which option, it was far better than choosing a cultivation technique.”
"And look at the second stage."
"This round tests the challenger's qinggong. Have you noticed that there are some broken pieces of rotten wood in the corner?”Director Zheng pointed at the pile of rotten wood in the corner.
"Those rotten logs are the key to clearing the stage?”Fu Xueyi said with a look of realization.
"Rotten wood? If you really thought that it was rotten wood, you would be wrong. That was the Yin Drifting Wood, the only thing that could float on weak water. It was very precious.”
"For this round, I have to throw the fragments of the dark driftwood on the surface of the weak water. Then, I have to step on the fragments of the dark driftwood and cross the weak water.”Bureau Chief Zheng finished the cup of tea in one go.
"Oh no, Young Master Zhou doesn't seem to have learned Qinggong before!”Hearing Director Zheng's words, Fu Xueyi hammered his palms and shouted.
"I guessed it." Bureau Chief Zheng sighed.
"Young Master Zhou is learning the Thwart Kung Fu. To be able to practice it to such a profound level, other than talent, he must have invested a lot of time and energy. It seemed that Young Master Zhou wanted to focus on external techniques.”
"Then isn't Young Master Zhou's test very dangerous?”Fu Xueyi's face was full of worry.
"Dangerous? I think it's best if he dies here." Li Xiaoyi interrupted fiercely.
"Hmph, shut up, bitch. You're just a plaything, what right do you have to say anything?”Fu Xueyi looked at Li Xiaoyi with disdain.
"You…I haven't lost yet. The admission notice hasn't arrived yet!" Li Xiaoyi was so angry that her lungs were about to explode. She said stubbornly.
"Alright, what are you arguing about?" As a martial arts expert, Bureau Chief Zheng had his own aura. For a moment, Li Xiaoyi only felt that she was suffocated by the aura. Fu Xueyi was smiling from the side. This Bureau Chief Zheng was clearly taking sides.
"Young Master Zhou doesn't know Qinggong, but it's not impossible for him to pass. It would depend on whether there were any items in the mechanism options that could help Young Master Zhou.”Bureau Chief Zheng looked at the screen again, feeling uneasy.
Right now, there was a small screen in front of Zhou Ping. There were many options listed on it.
"Let me see, there are swords, spears, swords, halberds…What, the quality can't even compare to the alloy swords from before, I don't want them! Medicinal pills…why did they all have the word 'small'? I've eaten many pills with the word 'big' in them, like the Great Rejuvenating Pill and the Great Snowflake Pill.”
"Traps? Sleeve arrows? A machine-operated bird? Why are they all made of wood? It was the technological era now, and there were even robots. Who would still use these antiques? It's too low-class. I don't want it."
"As expected, it's better to choose a cultivation technique. Let me see if there's a description of the cultivation technique.”
Zhou Ping muttered to himself as he checked the options.
"Internal energy? External techniques? No matter what, they were all mediocre cultivation techniques.”As the eldest young master of the Zhou family, Zhou Ping had seen many good cultivation techniques. How could he be interested in such a trashy cultivation technique? Sighing, Zhou Ping's gaze finally landed on a cultivation technique.
"Verdure Glider, a lightness skill. After mastering it, it could only slightly increase his running speed? What an unrated cultivation technique."
Unfortunately, there was only one lightness skill manual. Zhou Ping hesitated for a moment before choosing Flying Above Grass.
