Chapter 2062: Chapter 2089: Despair

Then, the Golden Robe said, "Please listen carefully to the question: How many Dao partners have I had?"

"How would I possibly know that?" Upon hearing the Golden Robe’s words, Holy Heart was stunned and instantly felt angry.

The Golden Robe smiled slightly, "I’ve already mentioned, it’s a quiz question. If you can guess the pattern, there’s still hope to answer correctly. Here’s a hint for you: I’m quite a philanderer, so I don’t like to see the same woman every day.

Of course, being a philanderer doesn’t mean I’m promiscuous. As long as someone becomes my Dao partner, I will never abandon them!"

After hearing the Golden Robe’s words, Holy Heart began to ponder, reminiscing. Actually, each question from the Golden Robe wasn’t completely impossible to answer correctly. If you pay attention frequently, you have a good chance of answering the Golden Robe’s questions correctly.

Just like the first time when the Golden Robe asked Bai Yue how many Spiritual Level trial places there were in the Ten Thousand Treasure Land. If you observe more frequently, you will definitely answer that question correctly.

The Golden Robe looked at Holy Heart and said, "Little one, you have the time it takes to burn an incense stick to think. After that, you must answer!"

Holy Heart nodded helplessly and began to think. Before long, the time of an incense stick was almost up.

Sweat beads were already covering Holy Heart’s forehead. At this moment, Holy Heart had many answers but wasn’t sure which was the correct one. Then, the Golden Robe spoke, "Time’s up, answer me now!" At this moment, Ye Feng, Bai Yue, and Liang Hao’s gaze was focused on Holy Heart.

Holy Heart frowned and said, "You have had forty-eight Dao partners!" Hearing Holy Heart’s words, the Golden Robe laughed.

Everyone looked at the Golden Robe, their eyes revealing confusion; they didn’t know if Holy Heart had answered correctly.

"Unfortunately, you were almost right. I actually have three hundred and sixty-five Dao partners! I’ve said I don’t want to see the same Dao partner every day. You probably thought I change Dao partners weekly. In reality, I change a Dao partner every day to accompany me, one for each day of the year, so I have a total of three hundred sixty-five Dao partners!"

"So I got it wrong..." Holy Heart shook his head helplessly, but accepted it as inevitable; there was nothing to be done.

The Golden Robe smiled slightly, "Alright, now it’s time to settle our results. Ye Feng successfully passed, so the Sword Qi retracts by thirty feet; Miss Bai Yue and Little Liang Hao failed, so the Sword Qi extends by twenty feet; Holy Heart failed, so it extends by twenty feet.

In the end, the Sword Qi extends by ten feet!" As the words fell, the Sword Qi extended a full ten feet longer.

At this moment, the Sword Qi swung, an extreme Ling Li aura directly impacted Ye Feng and the others. Now, if the Sword Qi extended another fifty feet or so, they would be completely destroyed!

Everyone felt the air wave emitted from the Sword Qi, impacting them with a feeling of their bodies being sliced apart, indescribably painful, reflected in their troubled gazes.

Ye Feng frowned; next, only eight obstacles remained. Within them, one was simple, three were difficult, and four were hell-level. At this rate, they would undoubtedly fail!

"We’re done for, we’re finished!" Holy Heart’s gaze showed despair; he knew they could no longer succeed. Because in the upcoming trials, regardless that Ye Feng twice conquered hell-level challenges, Bai Yue and the other three still had to face trials. Should they fail, they would surely die, and no matter how hard Ye Feng tried, it wouldn’t help.

Upon hearing Holy Heart’s words, Bai Yue and Liang Hao also began to despair. They simply couldn’t succeed.

In the eight remaining trials, the simplest was only of ordinary difficulty. However, even though it was ordinary difficulty, Holy Heart might not pass. If they failed, it spelled death for all four.

However, Ye Feng remained calm, looking at Holy Heart and said, "Holy Heart, calm down, you cannot give up!"

Holy Heart’s eyes showed despair; death was already accepted: "Ye Feng, you’re telling me not to give up; how could I not give up? I admit your power is strong. If this challenge only required you alone, maybe you could win. But now you have to handle these two burdens. These two burdens can’t even pass the simplest test; how are we supposed to pass?"

Holy Heart frankly spoke, not caring about Liang Hao and Bai Yue’s feelings, directly calling them burdens.

After Holy Heart’s words, Bai Yue and Liang Hao weren’t angry but lowered their heads in shame. They knew well that Holy Heart’s words were entirely correct; in this challenge, they were indeed as burdensome as he described.

They couldn’t even pass the simplest test, their presence only dragging Ye Feng down.

Bai Yue and Liang Hao looked at Ye Feng in shame: "Ye Feng, we’re sorry for being a burden, having no use at all!"

"No! We haven’t failed yet, trust me, we haven’t lost! We can survive!" Ye Feng declared with unwavering determination. Even at this moment, Ye Feng showed no fear, firmly believing they could survive.

The Golden Robe laughed heartily, "Alright, now that the game is halfway through, it’s time to change some rules. Now I’m going to shuffle the wood plaques. Pay attention; if you have the ability to remember the plaques, show your true strength!"

As those words fell, the Golden Robe shuffled the eight wood plaques, moving them constantly. The swift movement became mere shadows, making Liang Hao and Bai Yue dizzy and unable to remember despite trying to follow, yet Ye Feng carefully watched the plaques, memorizing the levels associated with each one.

Each wood plaque and its corresponding level were completely remembered by Ye Feng, but Bai Yue couldn’t retain them at all.

The Golden Robe smiled slightly, "Alright, I’ve rearranged them. The wood plaques are numbered from one to eight, choose for yourselves. This time, let’s start with Little Holy Heart; let’s switch the order!"

Holy Heart wore an expression of despair: "Does it matter if I pick or not? Anyway, the result is the same — we’re doomed!"
