Starting With 3 S-Class Talents Chapter 85
Advertisement
There was nothing on the fourth floor except for an empty hall.
Vincent stood in the middle of the hall and looked around with a blank expression.
This was very different from the previous three levels.
"Senior, what is the test for this level?" asked Vincent.
Vincent waited for ten minutes, but no one appeared.
He called out for the voice, but the voice did not answer him.
The surroundings were silent. There was nothing around. Vincent was all alone.
It was terrifyingly quiet.
Vincent could hear his own heartbeat in the extreme silence.
As time passed, Vincent knew that no one was going to come. He sat cross-legged on the ground and began to cultivate.
After an uncertain amount of time, Vincent suddenly felt a sense of danger in his heart. He quickly stopped his cultivation and raised his hand. He used Fire Net to shield himself.
Boom!
The Fire Net shattered but there was no enemy in front of him.
Vincent frowned. What exactly was this test?
Vincent did not have the chance to think any further.
Suddenly, he was attacked by an invisible force again. Vincent dodged it quickly. However, due to the high speed of the attack, Vincent could not dodge it completely.
His left leg was hit and suffered lacerations that were bone-deep.
His Godly King's Posture started to heal him.
At the same time, Vincent was attacked by the invisible force again. This time the attacks were much faster and occurred in short intervals.
Vincent was covered in injuries. Although his Godly King's Posture was working, the speed of the invisible force had far surpassed his recovery speed.
"Is this test aimed at me to take beatings passively?"
Vincent pondered in his heart whilst dodging the attacks.
That was obviously impossible. The voice had chosen a successor. It was impossible for him to create an unsolvable test.
Over time, Vincent discovered a pattern.
All the attacks came from the front. Although the speed of the attacks was getting faster and the intervals were getting shorter, it was not impossible to dodge them because he knew where the attacks were coming from.
However, Vincent's body was unable to keep up with his thoughts.
"Why does every attack come from the front?"
That was the question that was lingering in Vincent's mind. He had a vague feeling that he could pass this level if he could figure out why every attack came from the front.

However, there was nothing around him on the fourth level. The invisible attacks seemed to have appeared out of thin air. It was really strange.
Just as he dodged two invisible attacks in a row, the voice started to speak again.
"Little guy, I didn't expect you to find the pattern so quickly. Under such a dense attack, you can still dodge it completely. Not bad!"
"Then let's begin the official test of the fourth level!" said the voice.
What kind of game is this?
The dense invisible attack was not an official assessment?
Vincent swallowed his saliva. This test would probably be even harder than the previous three tests combined!
The voice stopped speaking. Suddenly, more than ten black figures appeared. Vincent was in the center. They formed a circle with a radius of 20 meters around him.
"The first question is a math question. God's sacred mountain has a total of 34,567,899 sacred trees. Once the sacred trees are chopped down, they can recover in a day. Poseidon drank wine on the sacred mountain for three consecutive days and chopped down half of the existing sacred trees every half a day. How many sacred trees did Poseidon chop down in three days?" asked one of the black shadows.
Vincent was still dodging the invisible attacks while he tried to do the calculations in his head.
In the end, he realized that this was a question that he could never answer accurately.
"The examinee only has 10 seconds to answer," said the black shadow.
"Mountain full of divine trees!" answered Vincent.
"Correct answer."
The black shadow confirmed Vincent's answer and suddenly exploded with a loud bang. At the same time, the speed of the invisible attacks doubled.
"The second question is a literary question. A hundred years ago, the overlord of the human race, Ke Chagin, awakened the power of speech. He fought against five overlord-class monsters by himself. What was the name of the book that Ke Chagin wrote? Please recite the full text," asked another black shadow.
Vincent was delighted. The question was not difficult. He had memorized it skilfully when he was still in Ellis Intermediate School.
"Beast Slayer, Ke Chagin..."
Vincent recited the full text in less than five minutes.
"Correct."
The second black shadow also exploded with a loud bang. The speed of the invisible attack doubled.

"The third question is a chemistry question..."
The black shadows all questioned Vincent one after another. Although Vincent was distracted, he still dealt with them easily. However, every time he answered a question correctly, the invisible attack would double in speed. Vincent did not even have a chance to catch his breath.
Fortunately, he had grasped the frequency and characteristics of the invisible attacks. The injuries on his body had also recovered.
A few hours had passed. Vincent was flying up and down on the fourth floor. He could not stop at all.
In order to dodge the invisible attacks, he had to rely on his superpowers and combat skills.
He only had two questions left.
The previous eight questions were tailored around various subjects and fields. They could be said to be all-encompassing.
If it was not for Vincent's extensive knowledge and strong memory skills, he probably would not have been able to fight.
"The ninth question is a common-sense question. How many hairs does a person have? How many eyebrows? How many eyelashes? How many hairs?"
Vincent, who was dodging the invisible attacks, paused for a moment. He was then sent flying by the invisible attack.
Fortunately, he reacted quickly and managed to dodge it by a little bit. Otherwise, the attack would have sliced him into two.
He had never thought that such a question would be regarded as a common-sense question.
"Every person has five million pieces of hair, of which 100,000 hair, 5,000 eyebrows, 150 to 255 lashes, and 4.5 million hairs."
Vincent recalled a book on the secrets of the human body that he had read unintentionally. It was full of boring and cold knowledge about the human body.
It was originally meant to be relaxing reading material. He did not expect that the information could be used during such a crucial moment.
"Correct."
The black shadow exploded. There was only one black shadow left. If he answered this question correctly, Vincent would pass the test of the fourth level.
"Question ten is a logical reasoning question. 1, 2, 6, 24, 130, 780, (). What number should come after that?"
What?
This was a logical reasoning question?
Isn't this clearly a math question?
Vincent did not understand. He reflected on the previous nine questions and realized that there were no errors in the type of questions they had given him. This question should not have any problems either.
Vincent dodged the invisible attacks while calculating the answer in his mind.
Logical reasoning question, what was the logical relationship between these few numbers?
1 * 1 + 1 = 2
2 * 2 + 2 = 6
6 * 3 + 6 = 24
…
Vincent clearly knew the logic at a glance, but what was the reasoning behind it?
Based on logic, the next number should be 5460. However, if it was so simple, then it would not be a logical reasoning question at all.
Vincent frowned slightly. He could not understand it no matter how hard he tried.
At the same time, the black shadow began the countdown. Every second felt like a countdown to the end of Vincent's life.
"Three!"
"Two!"
"One!"
Vincent could not understand it and just blurted out, "5,460!"
He did not expect to get the answer right. It was the only answer he could think of so far.
He was surprised when the black shadow told him that his answer was correct.
Bang!
The last black shadow exploded, and the invisible attacks disappeared.
"Little guy, congratulations on passing all the tests. Come up!"
The voice sounded kind.
Vincent did not react. How could his answer be correct?
The voice could see through Vincent's confusion. He smiled and explained, "Sometimes, we are limited by our own inherent thinking. We think that if we didn't make a mistake before, we won't make a mistake now. However, we never actually think that the mistake was actually us all along."
"Being able to break through your fixed mindset will be very beneficial to you in the future!"
Vincent revealed a look of realization after listening to the voice.
"Thank you for your guidance, Senior!"
After expressing his gratitude, Vincent walked to the stairs and headed to the fifth floor.
