However, it was not known which of the three entrances was the exit and which was the entrance. There was no sign either.2
Just as Ye Xuan finished looking at the situation in the cave, he saw a piece of information suddenly surging into his brain. After looking at the information, he muttered, "So that's how it is."
This information was the rule and method of the third combat test. The general situation was like this: the three caves Ye Xuan saw were all exits, and outside of the exits was a forest. As long as he ran to the end of the forest, he would be able to clear it.
This sounded simple, but in reality, it wasn't just allowing you to easily run to the end of the forest. This was because there were three checkpoints in the forest, and each checkpoint had a "gatekeeper".
You can only safely run to the end of the forest after you get past the traps and obstacles and defeat the three gatekeepers. Of course, if you have the ability to avoid them or have the speed to prevent them from catching up, you can just run to the end of the forest without defeating them.
The reason why there were three holes was because it was meant for the examinee to choose which one to use. Behind each hole was a different difficulty to choose from, and they were respectively: Peak of Spiritual Movement Stage, Grand of Spiritual Movement Stage, and High of Spiritual Movement Stage.
Simply put, if you had chosen the cave entrance at the peak of the Spiritual Movement Stage, then the three guardians you had encountered would have the strength of the peak of the Spiritual Movement Stage. Similarly, the other two caves would also be the same.
Actually Deacon Yang previously said that the combat exam of the third stage has a lot to do with luck, and this is the reason. If you are lucky, and chose the lowest hole, then it will give you even greater security for clearing the level.
Of course, Deacon Yang also said, even if the unlucky person chooses the most difficult hole, even if your cultivation is slightly lower, you still have a chance to clear the level. After all, this isn't something that absolutely needs to be defeated.
And amongst Ye Xuan's group of sixteen, the one with the lowest cultivation was at least at the peak of the Spiritual Movement Stage, so even if he truly chose the cave entrance with the peak of the Spiritual Movement Stage, dealing with them should not be difficult. At the very least, he would have a way to escape.
This was indeed a test for giving out points! After understanding all of this, Ye Xuan couldn't help but smile. Afterwards, he did not hesitate too much, nor did he study which hole was closest to him. He directly entered the middle hole.
For Ye Xuan's strength, the three holes didn't need to be made any choices at all. Even if he really did enter the hole with the peak of the Spiritual Movement Stage, the three guards in his eyes would only be a slap on the face. There was no need to waste anymore time.
After entering the cave, there was a flash of light, and a dense forest appeared in front of Ye Xuan. As he looked around, he saw several people hugging huge trees, and birds and animals were running around.
The green land and the quiet river were like birds chirping and the fragrance of flowers. It made people feel like they were in a dream. It was so comfortable... In fact, he was in an illusion.
