The person was clearly getting impatient, as if he'd been waiting for quite some time. Lin Yi and the others understood why he was getting impatient after receiving the message in their minds.
Because he had to wait for someone!
The second level's test required at least twenty people to begin. It didn't matter if there were more people, the eighteen of them must have waited for a while, watching the people in front of them pass the second level, but they couldn't do anything.
Now that Lin Yi's group of three was here, the test could begin!
Two rings of Starlight suddenly appeared on the ground of the platform. They were about thirty meters in diameter. Everyone present understood that this was a place for them to make a choice.
The rules of the minority battle were very simple. There were two choices, one correct and one wrong. When the number of people in the circle of light that represented the correct choice was a small number, the people in the circle of light could enter the position of the star at the top of the second level and be transported to the third level.
If the number of people in the correct circle of light is more than the number of people, the result will be invalid, and you will have to try again!
There were six rounds of selection and six chances. If no one passed, everyone would be knocked down to the first step to climb again. If someone passed, those who remained on the platform after six rounds would continue to wait for the next person to come and take the test.
This was the situation of choosing the right aperture. If the number of people in the wrong aperture was the majority, the punishment of the pagoda would be triggered. The punishment would be three times at most, and there would be no fourth time!
When there were only a few people in the wrong Halo, there was no punishment or reward. The test continued.
In the first round of selection, a question appeared in everyone's mind. Out of the twenty-one people present, two people would be randomly chosen to fight. Who would win?
After the question was asked, two beams of Starlight flickered rapidly above everyone's heads and finally settled on two people.
These two people were both in the early stage of heaven breaking, and on the surface, they looked evenly matched, so it was possible for either to win or lose.
"Fuck! What kind of stupid question is this? do we have to fight it out?"
One of the two chosen ones cursed loudly, expressing his dissatisfaction to the star Cloud tower. It seemed like this was his first time taking part in the test, unlike the other cultivators who were calm and collected. He was obviously experienced.
The star Cloud tower didn't care about the cursing of the chosen martial artist and continued to transmit information. Everyone was clear who the two light rings represented. They had to make a choice within 30 seconds. Exceeding the time limit would be considered as giving up and they would be sent out of the star Cloud tower.
"F * ck your mother! Of course I'll choose myself! Even if we really have to fight, I Won't Back Down!"
The martial artist from before continued to vent the anger in his heart and then stood in the light circle that represented his victory.
The star Cloud tower didn't remind him to fight, so he decided to take a stand first.
"Sima, which one should we choose?"
Daniya touched Lin Yi's elbow lightly and whispered,"The two of them have similar strength, so it's hard to judge who's better. However, that guy who's swearing is a little impatient, so his chances of winning are lower ... What do you think?"
"You think he's hot-headed?" Lin Yi replied softly, smiling. That would be underestimating him! How can a cultivator who has cultivated to the heaven breaking stage be so easily impetuous?"
"Eh? You mean he's deliberately playing the fool to lower his opponent's vigilance and make others look down on him?"
Daniya understood immediately, her eyes flashing with understanding.
Qin wunian also came to a realization,'that's right! The name of this test is the number of people who decide the outcome. If he wants to win, he can't let others think that he can win!"
It sounded a little awkward, but it couldn't be more accurate!
That foul-mouthed guy deliberately made people think that he was fickle and useless, so his evaluation of him would naturally be lowered. If he wanted to pass smoothly, the first thing he had to ensure was that he would always stand on the side of the minority. Even if he lost, the minority would not be punished!
It was a good plan, but it was a pity that this kind of trick couldn't be hidden from the eyes of those who were determined. No one present was a fool and wouldn't be deceived by the illusion in front of them.
"Hahahaha, I admire forthright people like you! I choose you!"
Lin Yi and the other two were still talking when someone followed the guy into the circle, followed by three more. There were five people in the circle now.
The other chosen martial artist was expressionless and silent. He lowered his head and walked into the circle of light that represented his victory. As a chosen one, he could stand in the opposite circle and deliberately lose the competition to let his opponent win. This way, his choice would be correct.
However, if he did that, everyone would know that he would go easy on them and fake his moves. If everyone chose the right aperture, then what the hell would the few duels be for?
This was the difficult part!
Five on each side, one on each side, and four immediately walked into the few circles of light, forming a balance between the two sides.
The remaining people looked at the others, wanting to wait until the last moment to see which side had fewer people before rushing in. Whether it was right or not, the most important thing was to ensure that they were in the minority!
Thirty seconds to make a choice was not too much or too little. It was enough for everyone to think about it and make a decision, but it was not enough for them to deliberately delay.
"Sima Zhong da, are we going to choose that person?"
Qin wunian looked at the martial artist who was still cursing. Since he was so confident, wouldn't it be safer to choose him?
"No, we'll go the other way!" Lin Yi said, shaking his head. Those who still have the mind to play mind games before the battle, or those who are much stronger than the opponent, are at ease, but in a situation where their strength is similar, it is definitely more advantageous to focus on the person. Let's go!"
The guy wanted to use reverse psychology to make himself the minority, but Lin Yi kept doing reverse psychology and vice versa, turning negative into positive.
After the three of them made their decision, they directly entered a circle of light. The remaining people saw that their time was about to run out, and if they didn't choose, it was equivalent to giving up. They could only follow their feelings.
The guy who was scolding was missing three people, so he naturally took priority. Five people rushed over at the same time, and the last three turned around and rushed to the circle of light Lin Yi was in when they realized the situation had changed.
If there were ten over there and three over here, it would become eleven!
The majority will never win!
The cultivator at the back of the three showed a ferocious smile and suddenly attacked the two cultivators in front of him. He didn't aim to kill them in one blow, but to prevent them from entering the circle of light.
One's own choice was very important, but among the few decisions, the other people's choices were more important. This guy clearly understood this, so he hid at the end so that the others couldn't choose!
There were only two seconds left. If he hindered the movements of the two in front of him and forced them to stay outside the circle of light after the time was up, he could enter a small number of circles of light!
