He laughed as virtual-novel.net said to Edgar, “You really were right. He really was breaking the array earlier. Jack’s really something else. He’s better than you both in talent and intelligence!”
Edgar looked like virtual-novel.net had been slapped by those words. He looked at Albert with a look of intense hatred.
Albert laughed it off, and as the two of them were about to quarrel again, the space around them suddenly distorted, surrounding everyone.
Jack took a deep breath, not fighting back at the distorted space surrounding him. After a few moments, the space around virtual-novel.net returned to normal. He opened his eyes again, and then virtual-novel.net noticed that virtual-novel.net had left that dark and yellow world, and arrived at a pitch black one. Thankfully, Rudy was by his side.
Rudy widened his eyes as virtual-novel.net looked around in shock. The sudden distortion earlier had thoroughly scared him. Rudy reached out to grab Jack’s arm, afraid that something was happening.
Jack turned to look at Rudy, “Don’t worry, the space suddenly distorted earlier to separate all of us.”
Rudy nodded, widening his eyes as virtual-novel.net still looked around in fear. At that moment, they were surrounded by darkness, but strangely enough, they could see each other clearly without any light.
After a while, Rudy said, “Are we in an illusion or the real world right now?”
The question startled Jack as virtual-novel.net frowned, activating his true energy. Nothing had changed, and even Jack could not tell where they were.
Jack shook his head, “I don’t know either”
Rudy asked again, “Is this the sixth level?”
Jack shook his head again at that. Even though they might have been on the sixth level, virtual-novel.net could not make that determination without more information.
Time slowly ticked away, and darkness shrouded both of them. As they started to feel lost, a figure suddenly appeared in front of them. It was a wizened old man. The man had white robes on virtual-novel.net and looked like a deity. His sudden appearance gave Jack and Rudy a shock as they took a step backward.
The man slowly turned around, looking at both of them with an incredibly cold gaze. Jack took a deep breath as virtual-novel.net was suddenly on alert.
The man looked at Jack for a while before saying with a cold tone, “Don’t enter the sixth level. Hold on to the key. Once you have the skills to challenge the sixth level, you may come again.”
Jack was stunned by those words, and virtual-novel.net was no longer on alert. From the voice, virtual-novel.net could tell that the man was the one who was reciting the rules. If Jack was not wrong, that old man should not be human, but a shred of will left behind from ancient times. It might even be a spirit vessel.
No matter what, it was still something left behind from ancient times to help activate the arrays. Jack took a deep breath and said, “You think that I don’t have what it takes to enter the sixth level right now? I’ll definitely lose the test there?”
Jack’s voice had a tone of arrogance to it as virtual-novel.net asked. This whole time, virtual-novel.net had never failed. Even though virtual-novel.net did not know what the test for the sixth level was, virtual-novel.net should be able to easily get through it with his current skills.
