Chapter 2058: Chapter 2085: Even

After hearing Liang Hao’s words, the Golden Robe smiled slightly and then flipped over the second wooden plaque in the second row on the stone platform.

On the wooden plaque, the word "ordinary" appeared. After seeing this, Ye Feng and the others seemed to have already noticed something.

The Golden Robe smiled slightly: "Congratulations, you’ve drawn an ordinary difficulty challenge. To pass this challenge, it isn’t really difficult, it’s not an impossible task for you to succeed."

After his words fell, the ground in front of Liang Hao suddenly bulged, and in no time, a stone platform rose up. That stone platform was actually a Go board. The Golden Robe smiled slightly and looked at Liang Hao, saying, "Now you must play chess against me. If you win, then you pass—" Hearing the Golden Robe’s words, Liang Hao smiled slightly.

Over the years, during his spare time in the Ten Thousand Treasure Land between cultivation and tests, he played chess.

Thus he honed a decent skill at chess. If he were to do other things, he would not be confident, but now that he has to play chess, he has a certain confidence. Liang Hao smiled slightly: "Then let’s begin!"

The Golden Robe smiled slightly: "You are the junior, I will let you go first!" Liang Hao felt more confident after hearing the Golden Robe’s words.

If he were to play black and go first, then he would be even more confident in defeating the Golden Robe.

The Golden Robe and Liang Hao began their battle, with pieces dropping continuously. For the first twenty moves, Liang Hao’s face remained relaxed and confident, but by the thirtieth move, his face turned grim.

Very soon, by the fortieth move, Liang Hao’s expression became extremely grim, and he was already in complete disarray.

He hadn’t anticipated that the Golden Robe’s chess skill would be so terrifying; he really wasn’t a match for the Golden Robe.

By the fiftieth move, the Golden Robe’s hands began to tremble, a terrified look appeared in his eyes, his face turned extremely pale, and his expression was awful. Trembling, the chess piece in his hands fell directly onto the board.

"I lost..." Liang Hao looked extremely grim, directly admitting defeat, knowing he was already beyond salvaging.

The Golden Robe smiled slightly, looked at Liang Hao with pride and laughed heartily: "Kid, to beat me, you have a long way to go! After all, I’ve been playing chess for tens of thousands of years, and with your mere hundreds of years of skill, defeating me is impossible!"

After hearing the Golden Robe’s words, Liang Hao shook his head helplessly. Indeed, it was his own hubris just now.

At this moment, Ye Feng and the others had already failed twice in succession, and this time it was an ordinary level challenge, the Sword Qi must extend.

At this moment, everyone’s gaze fell on Holy Heart. Holy Heart’s eyes showed a cautious look, then fell on the first position in the first row, and said: "I choose the first row, the first wooden plaque!"

"Alright!" The Golden Robe smiled slightly and overturned the wooden plaque, which turned out to be a simple difficulty wooden plaque. Seeing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and the Golden Robe said: "This challenge is very simple, Brother Holy Heart, I will exert space pressure above your head, the pressure will explode, constantly compressing your flesh.

As long as you can withstand the space pressure for the time of one incense stick’s burning, then you will pass the test!"

Holy Heart nodded, a strong confidence appearing in his eyes: "Enough talk, let’s start!"

"Okay!" The Golden Robe nodded. Immediately, above Holy Heart’s head, space began to twist, and suddenly, the terrifying space deviation kept acting upon Holy Heart, making him feel immense pressure.

However, Holy Heart didn’t let out a single groan, maintaining a calm and composed expression. With no trace of fear, the formidable pressure continuously acted upon Holy Heart, causing the surrounding space to warp.

The terrifying pressure caused visible cracks to appear in the space, as though it was swallowing it whole.

Despite this, Holy Heart remained seated in his place, not even furrowing his brow.

"Crack, crack, crack~~" After a while, the sound of bones cracking came from Holy Heart, which made him feel extreme pain. He felt like his bones and meridians were going to explode from the terrifying pressure.

Yet Holy Heart persisted. At this moment, the space gravity around him had reached several thousand times the usual amount.

And the space gravity continued to rise, and soon, Holy Heart felt as though his internal organs were being pressed to burst by the terrifying space gravity, with blood continuously seeping from the corners of his mouth.

The Golden Robe looked at Holy Heart, smiling slightly and said: "Kid, if you can’t bear it, you can surrender at any time. Once you surrender, the space gravity will immediately return to normal, and you won’t face the threat of dying!"

However, Holy Heart remained perfectly calm, showing no sign of wanting to surrender, saying nothing.

After some time, a vortex had already formed around Holy Heart in space, as if it wanted to tear Holy Heart apart.

Still, Holy Heart persisted, and at this time, the space gravity had reached its limit, nearly ten thousand times! Even an average mid-stage Heavenly Saint level expert would possibly be killed instantly by this terrifying space gravity.

But Holy Heart continued to endure, showing no sign of wanting to give up, as time continued to pass by.

"Whoa~~" Holy Heart felt the Blood Qi surge within his body, he couldn’t hold back, spitting out a mouthful of fresh blood.

But at this moment, the time for one incense stick to burn had already passed, and Holy Heart successfully passed the test.

Then the space gravity returned to normal. The Golden Robe looked at Holy Heart, smiling, unable to tell if he was genuinely happy or just pretending. ℴℴ𝘮

"Congratulations on getting through. The first round of challenges is over, now it’s time for the final reckoning!"

The Golden Robe said: "Ye Feng, ordinary difficulty success, shorten twenty feet; Miss Bai Yue, simple difficulty failure, lengthen ten feet; Liang Hao, ordinary difficulty failure, lengthen twenty feet; Holy Heart, simple difficulty success, shorten ten feet. The final result is neither extended nor shortened!" As he finished speaking, the Sword Qi swung towards Ye Feng and the others.
