Re-Birth Of A Genius. Creator/Destroyer
chapter-681

Sam and the rest entered the single door that was in the hall.

They walked in a dark path and when they could see once again, all they could see is that the whole group are separated and they are standing on a circular platform individually.

Sam looked around and all he could see are clouds.

There is not much he can see even with his eye technique.

All he could see are white clouds floating around him.

Not just Sam, everyone is in the same position. They are all standing on their individual large platforms and could only see clouds all around.

At this moment, a male voice was suddenly heard from nothing.

"Welcome Players.

This time, the Palace of inheritance is a bit different. I don't want to go through a tournament procedure and think of various ways to test you guys.

Instead, all of you will be going through the same test.

You will have to go through six tests and the final test will be held between the people who managed to get past the six tests.

The rest of you will be eliminated.

If only one of you managed to pass, the second and third places will be deduced by your progress in the first few tests.

Now the simultaneous tests you have to go through are quite simple. In a few moments, a path will appear before you in these clouds. You have to go through these paths and face the challenges that were thrown at you.

The path will have six checkpoints which are circular platforms that will lead you to the required test area and some of the tests will take place on the platform itself. Each test will be explained on the respective platforms and the rewards will be given finally.

So, I hope you all perform well and do your best to win."

As soon as the voice is gone, the clouds cleared on one side and Sam could see a wide path forward.

He cannot see far and even his eye technique proved to be useless in the scenario. He took a deep breath and took out the harbinger to clear this path.

Since speed is also a factor, there is no reason for him to hold back at all. In general cases, he would have held back in using his special gadgets that could make him pretty overpowered among his peers. But today, he came here to teach Hou Yi a lesson. He cannot take any chances.

As he zoomed past the route a few seconds later, Sam suddenly turned hard to the right as he felt a sense of danger.

He looked at the path and noticed that four arrows lodged themselves into the road and they are slowly disappearing.

Sam frowned at this. He thought that the only danger lies in the checkpoints, but it seems like the path itself is also dangerous.

But Sam didn't feel worried, in fact, he didn't even slow down a bit, he increased the speed to its maximum limit as the wind turned sharp around him. The tailwind became extremely compact and created a shield around him as he activated the energy vision.

He looked ahead without a care in the world.

He clearly observed the surroundings for the arrow movements, even though his eye technique is clearly being obstructed by the surrounding clouds, he is confident that he would be able to react to arrows as soon as he saw them within a range of five feet.

And his plan worked.

He could feel the faint energy waves from the arrows as soon as the arrows left the clouds and that is enough for him.

For the first few waves, he didn't even bother to dodge as his speed is enough to avoid them completely or his wind curtain is enough to block without any damage.

In his full speed he reached the first checkpoint within fifteen to twenty minutes.

Sam could see a platform ahead of him once again and stopped over the platform and put the harbinger away.

Meanwhile, within that dimension, a man who looked young and dynamic with hawk-like eyes and long hair is sitting on a large island floating in the clouds. The island has nothing on it. It is just a piece of floating flat rock.

There are several screens floating around him and he couldn't help but feel a bit down when he saw the four screens that occupied most of his attention.

Not just Sam, even his three friends are using the hoverboard.

Actually, the path for meant to halt them for a few hours to mentally test them before reaching the checkpoint. But because of these hoverboards, the path became pointless.

He heard that even though, Sam has the harbinger for a long time, he didn't use it in the previous palace of inheritances. But now he is using it without any reservation which is a bit surprising to him.

He felt like something is wrong.

Sam didn't know that the god's image is looking at him instead of his own player and lamenting over something deeply.

He landed on the platform and took the heavenly wine to recover instantly.

As he waited for a few minutes, he is wondering when the test will begin and he disappeared from that place.

He appeared in a dark room.

Sam couldn't see for a second and even his other senses are not working. His vision returned along with his other senses gradually after a few seconds and Sam found himself looking at his own image.

In fact, it is not a single image.

He could see a myriad of images.

He looked around couldn't help but shake his head.

His spiritual sense and energy vision are not going past the mirrors.

As he was thinking of what would happen, the same male voice entered his ears.

"I thought it would take some time for the first checkpoint to be activated. But it guess there are always exceptions.

Your first test will be to defeat the archer. An archer was hidden beyond the mirror walls or from his point of view, you are the one trapped inside the mirror wall.

He would be aiming to kill you. If you manage to kill that person back, then you win.

Good luck."

With that, the voice once again disappeared.

Sam just stood there as he looked around. And all of a sudden, he could see an arrow coming towards him through the mirror. He turned around ready to defend, but to his surprise as soon as he turned around, all he could see is also the same mirror image of the arrow.

Before he knew it, he was hit from the rear.

Sam groaned in pain. Even though his feather coat managed to stop it from penetrating, it still couldn't manage to nullify the force.

Soon another arrow shot towards him. Sam tried his best to avoid them. But he couldn't do anything. He barely dodged three to four shots but took ten to twelve.

Another arrow image appeared but no matter which direction he looked, it seemed like it was coming from that direction.

He looked at the four sides and the same image is on display from different angles.

He couldn't find the way the arrow is coming towards him. Sam activated his energy vision as he looked at the mirrors, but to his surprise, even the energy vision was fooled. Maybe his level is not high enough.

Sam could feel the energy of the arrow from all sides.

He decided to defend from all sides. He summoned four of his shadows and made them stand on his four sides as he stood in the middle. He couldn't take more physical damage, it would make it hard for him to endure for a long time and hinder his thinking.

He left the arrows to the shadows and he started attacking the mirror walls. But there is no reaction. He attacked with all the elements, but there is nothing he could do.

He moved along with the shadows in the same position and tried to touch the wall. But he couldn't feel anything for a second before energy stuck him directly and before he noticed that, his palm was bleeding with an arrow stuck to it.

Sam is getting annoyed.

He stood in the middle of the area and looked around as the shadows did their job. His face is extremely cold.

The shadows really did come in handy, due to their little intelligence they can block the tricky attacks on their own without Sam doing anything.

Sam closed his eyes as he spread his spiritual energy all over and it even reached the mirror walls and spread among them as he used observation ability.

At least, he is glad that the mirror and the floor are connected so that he could use his ability. But due to the distance, he has to put in more effort than usual.

But he noticed something.

And as soon as he did that, he found two ways he can destroy this.

One of them is easy for any one of the players and even his friends, they would be able to figure it out after taking some hits and exhausting more than half of their energy.

The second thing is something only he can do and it will align perfectly with his plan of pissing Hou Yi off.
