His Highness the Crown Prince Always Wants to Marry Me

Chapter 403: Second Level (One)

The long corridor on the lower left had a special kind of luminous crystal inlaid on the walls. It was slightly dim, but it didn’t affect one’s vision.

The corridor was so long that it seemed endless and gave one a deep and sinister feeling.

“Pupils who successfully reach the end are considered to have passed this level. Let’s begin.” Hong Gu Zi didn’t say much and directly announced the start of the second level without any more prompts.

This time, everyone was traumatised by the first level, so no one rushed directly into the corridor in a hurry, and instead, their eyes kept falling on Yu Qing Qian.

Yu Qing Qian’s lips twitched—why were these people staring at her?

None of the pupils were willing to go forward and enter the corridor first, obviously wanting to do what Yu Qing Qian did before—to observe first then act.

Seeing their dallying selves, Yu Qing Qian smiled helplessly. She wasn’t prepared to do the same for this level as the first level to begin with. After all, these pupils weren’t fools.

“Tong Tong, how about we go give it a try first?”

Che Tong Tong had always had a laidback temperament, and she didn’t really have much hope of passing the challenge to begin with, so she smiled nonchalantly and said: “I’ll stay with you to the end.”

“Then let’s go.” Yu Qing Qian pulled Che Tong Tong into the corridor first and sent a telepathic message to her: “This level may be testing your mental energy, be careful.”

“Sure!” Che Tong Tong’s expression became more cautious too.

The other pupils didn’t expect that Yu Qing Qian, who was cautious in the first level, would lead Che Tong Tong in first and were somewhat uncertain of her purpose, so they stepped into the corridor one after another too.

As soon as Yu Qing Qian entered the corridor, she felt a cool breeze blowing from the depths.

After walking for a while, a stone wall suddenly rose from the front of the corridor, separating everyone.

Yu Qing Qian and Che Tong Tong were also forcibly separated by the stone walls and were trapped alone at the front of the team.

“There should be a switch hidden on this stone wall. It will test the pupil’s mental energy strength and precision. Only by finding the switch can one pass.” Gu Yan said as he swept the stone wall before them with his heart energy.

Yu Qing Qian nodded: “It shouldn’t be this simple either.”

She first reached out and touched the stone wall and found that she couldn’t feel any sign of opening the stone wall with her hands, so she calmly used her mental energy to scan the stone wall bit by bit.

Gu Yan stopped talking when he saw that she had begun to enter a state. He had already seen through the mystery of the stone wall, but he wouldn’t tell her. Only in such a way could it train Yu Qing Qian, and this was also the purpose of the Holy Academy setting up these challenges.

Time passed little by little. The pupils trapped in the stone wall all guessed the method of cracking it, but they couldn’t find a single clue.

Yu Qing Qian used her mental energy to scan the stone wall, but found no clues or any mechanisms.

She didn’t give up nor be disappointed but continued to use her mental energy to explore again from the corner of the stone wall.

The pupils outside the Holy Land were very curious about how to open the stone wall when they saw this, and they focused most of their attention on Yu Qing Qian and the three Spirit Emperor pupils.

“This level tests mental energy and enough patience. It shouldn’t be a problem for Xiao Yu.” Chi Mo Ran noticed that Yu Qing Qian had already inspected the stone wall for a third time repeatedly, with a hint of relief and appreciation in his eyes.

Feng Chen looked at Yu Qing Qian with a gentle gaze, “She’ll soon be able to find the mystery of the stone wall. It’s just a pity that she couldn’t earn more spiritual jade in this level.”

He knew that Yu Qing Qian was short of spiritual jade, so he naturally hoped for her to have more opportunities to obtain spiritual jade during the challenge.

Chi Mo Ran didn’t expect that Feng Chen, with his temperament, would say such a thing. Was this the so called ‘those who are close to ink become black, and those who are close to vermillion become red¹’?

¹basically saying one will be influenced by close association. Hahahaha, love that for Feng Chen.
