Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
After hearing the rules, the students of the Gifted Academy started discussing, but they weren’t very nervous.
“It doesn’t sound difficult.”
“Yeah. We still have our eyes, so we can still dodge attacks.”
“It’s much simpler than the trial at the altar of color. It’s much easier without sound than without sight.”
“It doesn’t seem to be that difficult. I must pass this trial and obtain more points to make up for yesterday’s low points.”
“I thought it would be even harder. I didn’t expect it to be even easier.”
...
The students of the Gifted Academy were somewhat relaxed. They felt they had no problem dodging the attacks despite without sound.
However, after hearing the discussions of the surrounding people, Liu Yan shook his head secretly.
The trial of the altar of sound was not simple. After all, they could only rely on their vision. It was easy to dodge attacks from several directions, but not easy to avoid attacks from all directions. The lack of hearing still had a huge impact. Furthermore, the movement speed of the special equipment was very slow.
Liu Yan felt that he had overlooked something. He felt this trial of the altar of sound would be more challenging than he had imagined.
The students were all preparing. They were waiting for the time to arrive before they began the trial of the altar of sound.
Ken Hill looked at Liu Yan from afar. A cold glint flashed across his eyes as he sneered in his heart.
This time, the altar of sound was different from before. Every batch of students would be separated from each other for the trial. All the students would be undergoing the trial together in the altar of sound, including students from Lighthouse Academy.
Naturally, this included the two great genius academies of the Gifted Academy, Alan Smith, and Xu Han. This way, it would be much more difficult for Liu Yan to surpass them and obtain first place.
And to prevent any accidents from happening, Ken Hill had even specially arranged many safeguards to ensure that Liu Yan would not obtain first place in this time’s altar of sound.
Soon, the time arrived, and the group of students lined up to enter the altar of sound.
When Liu Yan passed Ken Hill, he turned around and looked at Ken Hill. He felt somewhat puzzled.
Liu Yan felt Ken Hill seemed to be paying attention to him, and Ken Hill was filled with hostility toward him.
However, Liu Yan was also unable to confirm his guess.
Liu Yan shook his head. He thought he was overthinking. He took it off his mind and entered the altar of sound to begin this trial.
At the entrance, everyone wore special equipment.
A control ball was handed to each student.
The special equipment allowed many students to breathe in the vacuum environment of the altar of sound. Besides, the control ball allowed them to control the special equipment to move in the altar of sound. This way, they could avoid all kinds of attacks.
After putting on the special equipment, Liu Yan entered the altar of sound.
The moment he entered the altar of sound, Liu Yan immediately felt the gravity weaken. His entire body floated up as if he was in the universe.
It was also the first time Liu Yan had experienced such a situation. He immediately felt that it was somewhat magical.
And the greatest sensation was the total silence.
When Liu Yan was outside the altar of sound, there were still all kinds of sounds.
But once he entered the altar of sound, there was no sound in the vacuum environment.
The extreme silence made Liu Yan’s heart gradually calm down.
In the vacuum, all the students could not control their movements, and they could only use the special equipment to control their movements.
Some students might have special methods. They could use special skills or special items to control their movements in the vacuum, but the rules prohibited their use. In this altar of sound, they could only use this special equipment to control their movements.
Liu Yan tried to control it, but its movement speed was extremely slow. It couldn’t even reach the speed of regular walking.
In the vacuum environment of the altar of sound, they lost their hearing ability. In addition to their slow movement speed, they needed to detect attacks from all sides in advance and avoid them in time.
If they waited until the attack was right in front of them before they tried to avoid it, it would be too late.
At this moment, the students spread out in the gigantic altar of sound. After all, if they gathered together, they could bump into each other when avoiding the attacks. It would affect their performance and get them hit by the attacks.
At this moment, Liu Yan also intended to leave the crowd and fly into the air.
Since the attack came from all directions of the altar of sound, it was most reasonable to stay in the middle of the area where there were fewer people.
If Lu Yan stayed in the middle, the attacks would travel a longer distance to reach him. He had enough reaction time and evasion time. This way, he had a better chance of dodging all the attacks.
At this moment, Liu Yan became more serious.
Previously, Liu Yan could rely on his Omniscient Insight. Even if there was no sound, he could clearly sense everything within a 100-meter radius, including all sorts of attacks.
However, now that he was inside the altar of sound, he could only rely on special equipment to move. His speed became very slow.
Even if Liu Yan could detect attacks within a 100-meter radius in advance, because of the special equipment’s slow movement, he might not be able to dodge in time.
Liu Yan could not help but feel a slight headache. This way, he would not be able to fully utilize his A-grade perception skill Omniscient Insight to perceive everything. He would have to pay more attention.
At this moment, the students had already dispersed. Liu Yan looked around and saw the other students were all over the place.
Then, sounds came from the entrances of the altar of sound. The gates were closing.
The closing of the entrances meant that the trial in the altar of sound was about to begin.
The students were a little anxious. After all, this was a vacuum environment, and they were unfamiliar with it. Everyone could not help but feel a little nervous.
They could see the rich expressions on the faces of the students, but they could not hear any sound.
However, at this moment, a purple light flashed above them. Everyone raised their heads and looked over. They saw a gigantic lightning bolt striking down from above.
At the same time, there was a flash of light from below, and several attacks rushed over.
Although the attacks above were powerful, there was only one, so it was easier to dodge.
On the contrary, the attacks from below seemed ordinary, but because there were more of them. They were more troublesome to dodge.
Liu Yan estimated that these attacks wouldn’t affect him, so he calmed down and continued to observe.
As for the rest of the students, their luck was not that good. They hurriedly dodged the attacks.
The students in the center hurriedly dodged the huge purple lightning above them.
Even if most of the students dodged, a small number of students were unlucky. They were hit by light attacks. Their special equipment was damaged, and they were directly sent out of the altar. At the same time, it meant that they had failed the trial at the altar of sound and were eliminated. They had failed to charge to the fifth level of the Tower!
The faces of the students who had thought that the trial this time was relatively simple became solemn. They realized the difficulty of the trial.
Although it was easy to detect attacks, the movement speed of the special equipment was slow, so it was not that easy to dodge.
Those attacks just now were only the first round. It was the simplest round, and some students were eliminated.
The students could not imagine how strong would the subsequent attacks be.
