Chapter 613: Third Round (1)

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

When Zhou Hong and Guan Zhihong learned that the difficulty of the checkpoint would double with each person missing, their expressions became solemn. They had already deeply felt the difficulty in the second round. Even if the two of them worked together, they had to pay a considerable price to successfully pa.s.s the second round.

However, they did not expect that the difficulty of the third round would double. This made them feel extremely pressured. Other than that, the way they looked at Xiao s.h.i.+ was also very different.

Surprisingly, the other party had pa.s.sed the second round with double the difficulty of the second round. Moreover, he had pa.s.sed it without any injuries. Even the guards beside him did not suffer any damage.

Their minds were in turmoil. They were well aware of the difficulty of the second round. Not to mention doubling the difficulty. Even if it was a normal difficulty, it was impossible for them to clear it alone. This shocked them and made them extremely curious about Xiao s.h.i.+’s ident.i.ty.

They were sure that the other party was definitely at the Martial Demon Realm. He could not be a Sage! However, as both of them were at the Martial Demon Realm, they could not figure out how the other party had cleared the level alone without being injured.

They immediately searched for the powerful Martial Demon Realm cultivators in the Great Wu Empire in their minds. After thinking about it, they could not match the person in front of them with the few powerful Martial Demon Realm cultivators in their impression. Even the few powerful and extraordinary Martial Demon Realm cultivators in their impressions could not do this.

However, It made them feel much more at ease since Xiao s.h.i.+ was powerful. Thinking that such an unfathomable expert had entered the third round with them, the situation was not too bad.

The barrier that led to the third checkpoint in front of them suddenly dissipated. This scene stunned the three of them. He instinctively turned to look at the other official road. The pavilion they were in now was the intersection of three official roads.

Logically speaking, the barrier to the third checkpoint would only dissipate when a third party arrived. But the third party had yet to arrive when the barrier had already dissipated.

Something was very wrong!

“Could it be…? They failed to pa.s.s the second checkpoint and died in the second checkpoint?” Zhou Hong’s heart trembled. Only this possibility explained why the barrier to the third checkpoint was lifted in advance before the people on the third official road arrived.

In that case, the situation was even worse for them!

Xiao s.h.i.+ was already missing one person. The difficulty of this round doubled from the beginning. Now, there were two less people. Then, the difficulty of the third round would very likely increase by three times.

Even if they did not know what was in the third checkpoint, it was not difficult to know that the third round would be extremely challenging with the difficulty increased by three times.

This made Zhou Hong and Guan Zhihong’s faces turn pale. Xiao s.h.i.+’s expression hidden under the black cloak was also solemn. Previously, he could still use teleportation to clear the level. Now that there was no teleportation, he could only clear it with his own strength.

If he was alone, even if the difficulty of this round was three times higher, he would not have to worry about not being able to clear it. But now, he not only had to take care of the guards beside him, he had to take care of these two Martial Demon Realm experts.

If these two Martial Demon Realm experts died in the third stage, the difficulty of the fourth stage would increase again. This way, the further he went, the more difficult the subsequent stages would be.

“That’s not right.” Xiao s.h.i.+ frowned. He felt that according to this pattern, the subsequent levels would definitely increase by ten to twenty times. At that time, the difficulty of these checkpoints would directly exceed the scope of the Martial Demon Realm. It was impossible to pa.s.s.

Xiao s.h.i.+ suddenly felt that the increase in the difficulty of the checkpoint he had guessed previously might not be accurate.

“The reduction in the number of people will indeed increase the difficulty of the checkpoint. There’s no doubt about this. But is it possible that the difficulty of each level does not depend on the number of people at the beginning.” Xiao s.h.i.+ fell into deep thought.

From his current experience, he felt that he could divide this place into two parts. Part of it was the checkpoints. The other part was the official road before the checkpoint.

This made a connection in his heart.

“If the number of people in each checkpoint is not based on the initial number of people, then it should be based on the number of people who appear on the official road after pa.s.sing the previous checkpoint. In other words, those who die in the previous checkpoint will not be counted into the next checkpoint!”

Xiao s.h.i.+ felt that his guess might be more in line with the situation here. If it depends on the initial number of people, then the third checkpoint was a six-person checkpoint. However, if the people who died in the previous checkpoints were not counted, they would only be counted as the people who entered the official road after clearing the checkpoint.

This checkpoint was a three-person checkpoint. Because only the three of them had pa.s.sed the second round.

“In other words, as long as we don’t kill people on the official road, the difficulty of the checkpoint won’t change!”

Xiao s.h.i.+ recalled carefully. Previously, when he killed that Martial Demon Realm expert, he had killed him after the other party pa.s.sed the first checkpoint and entered the official road..
