Chapter 92: Game Time!
Gao Tianming's fingers moved unconsciously, and his eyes slowly opened. What entered his vision was a small iron window high above his head, with a face leaning down to look at him.
"Awake?" The person seemed to smile slightly.
Gao Tianming gently patted his own forehead with his right palm, making himself a bit more awake. He looked up steadily.
"Shen Lingchao!" Gao Tianming finally saw clearly the person crouching on the iron window, and it was actually Shen Lingchao who had brought them in.
"Haha! It's me." Shen Lingchao's mouth corners slightly curled up, "How does it feel to be stuck down there?"
Gao Tianming didn't respond, but slowly sat up instead. In his mind, he was replaying the scene of entering the mountain villa. They hadn't seen the so-called master of the villa, but a self-proclaimed steward had entertained them. From start to finish, Gao Tianming hadn't eaten or drunk anything, yet he still ended up lying down here.
He looked around and found that the surrounding walls were all made of black iron plates, with only one wall having a door, which was dark and gaping like the mouth of a monster waiting to swallow people.
There was no one else on the ground, and the whole room had only him. "Where did everyone else go?" Gao Tianming asked coldly, looking up.
"Tsk, tsk, don't be too impatient!" Shen Lingchao gently waved his hand forward. "You shouldn't be concerned about others right now, but rather you should worry about yourself a bit. As for others, maybe you'll meet them later, but who knows if it'll be in the mortal realm or hell."
Gao Tianming's eyes slowly narrowed, "This round, you're targeting me alone?" Gao Tianming thought back to the scene on the bus.
"Haha!" Shen Lingchao smiled slightly, "Gao Tianming, you're a bit too full of yourself. My target is all of you! And now, you'll play a game for my master to watch! Remember, perform well, or you'll lose your life!" Shen Lingchao finished speaking, stood up, and walked away.
"Stop right there!" Ga Tianming's foot flashed with purple light as he appeared in mid-air, his body inverted, and kicked towards the iron window.
"Boom!"
There was no earth-shattering crash, just a small collision sound. The iron window didn't budge, but Gaotianming's face changed drastically.
Kōtenmei shot back down to the ground at a speed even faster than before.
"Boom!"
The sole met the ground head-on, and a circle of cracks spread outward from Gaotianming for over a meter.
"What a strong hardness, what an exaggerated rebound attack! What is this thing made of!" Gaotianming squatted on the ground, his legs slightly numb. "With such intensity, even if I increase my strength by 50%, I won't be able to break it, and I might even be killed directly by the shockwave!" Gaotianming looked at the door hole in front of him, "Now it seems that we can only go through that door, but I don't know what scene we will encounter, or whether we will meet other classmates."
Gao Tianming rubbed his legs and slowly stood up, walking inside.
…………
"Damn it! What kind of place is this? How did I end up here? Where are the others?" Gangzi looked around with some irritation.
"Daybreak! Are you there?" Lin Lushe looked around helplessly, unsure of what to do.
All the classmates woke up and found themselves in a secret room with only one door waiting for someone to enter.
……………
He walked through a long corridor and nothing else happened. Ga Tianming came to a room of about 100 square meters.
"Haha! You're here quite early!" An old man's voice suddenly echoed in the room.
"Who!" Ga Tianming looked around but didn't see anyone.
"Heh heh, you can't see me." The voice continued, "Listen carefully, now I'll say what to do and you'll do it!"
"Who are you to order me around?!" Gaotian Ming's eyebrows shot up, "Why should I listen to you?! Who exactly are you?"
"Who I am is unimportant, what's important now is if you don't do as I say!"
"Boom!" "Rat-a-tat-tat-tat"
The passageway behind Gao Tianming suddenly closed, and small windows opened around the room, revealing sharp arrows. "Do you see those arrows? If you don't listen, they might become a part of your body!"
Gao Tianming's pupils suddenly contracted, and he used his internal force to violently strike backwards with his elbow.
"Bang!" A dull thud, the door didn't budge, and Gao Tianming was instead knocked forward by the recoil force, stumbling a step.
"Haha! All the metal here is of the same alloy, you can't break it open! Honestly follow what I say and maybe you'll still have a chance to live!" Although there was laughter in his voice, the meaning was icy cold.
"What do you want me to do!"
"Have you seen the two 'heaven and earth' circles on the ground?" the voice said.
Gao Tianming looked up at the ground and nodded.
That voice seemed to see the bright sky and continued: "Choose one of them to stand on, after a while something will fall from one of the circles. If you can avoid being hit, you can survive!" The voice paused for a moment, "Life is originally two choices, life and death, it depends on whether you can choose correctly!"
Gao Tianming's eyes widened, but a hint of excitement flashed in his heart, unexpectedly encountering this kind of question.
Gao Tianming didn't say anything else and walked up to the two circles, activating his own special ability.
Gao Tianming walked into the center of the circular formation, and as soon as he stood still, a ring of iron cages rose up around him, towering high into the sky, without a single gap.
Before he could think much about it, a large iron ball suddenly fell from the ceiling.
"Whoa!" The scene in his mind disappeared, and Gao Tianming unconsciously took a step back. "I didn't expect that randomly picking one would actually hit it! This luck is too good!"
Gao Tianming looked at the circular array on the side, somewhat unbelieving of what the voice had said. Only one circle would drop things down. He wanted to use his special ability to see if it was really like that.
"What are you staring at! Choose one already, or I'll shoot an arrow straight away if you don't go in!" The voice urged with some impatience.
Gao Tian understood and flipped his eyes, there was no choice, so he chose the circle with the word "earth" on it and stepped up.
The circular cages on both sides of "Ka" rose up, and Gao Tianming looked up at the roof above with some concern.
"Boom!" Just as Gao Tianming lifted his head, a loud crashing sound came from the other side.
"Haha! Looks like you're lucky and can live a little longer!"
"Really? I just think you're quite trustworthy!" Gao Tianming smiled.
"Ka!" Another door rose up in the room, seemingly leading to another place.
"You can proceed now, there are more trials ahead, and you will also meet your companions, if they are all safe!" The old man's voice came faintly.
Gao Tianming hesitated for a moment and slowly walked towards the door.
