Chapter 3998: Challenge of Intelligence III

The speed of the platform had increased.

The pattern remained the same, but the speed had increased.

This means, now the people attempting the challenge will have to react fast or fall down.

It will also make balancing difficult. Landing on fast objects is much harder.

I looked at it, and the platform replicated in my mind. Their speed and also their paths. It's why I jumped a second and a half later and right after I did, the platform began to fall down hard.

I jumped and moved across the platform. Going toward the clouds in the sky fast.

I need to move fast to respond to the speed of the platform. If I maintained my earlier speed. It would make me fall down within seconds.

Soon, I reached the fourth cloud layer and went above it. There was no change in the speed of the platform, and I kept moving, crossing the fifth cloud layer a few minutes later.

As I went higher, there were fewer and fewer people. It is not easy to keep moving.

Even if one knows the pattern, they will have predicted the movements and react fast or they will find themselves falling down.

Hun!

Soon, I breached through the sixth layer. When I saw the speed of platforms increasing again. "So, it is every three cloud layers," I muttered to myself, and I started to move faster, keeping my breathing even.

Controlling the strength is important. I do not have the strength to crush the mountains.

Here, I am quite weak and would get weaker. If I didn't use the strength properly.

It's way, my every movement is precise, and I would always have predicted ten next platforms. I need to step on, which makes me faster, but also saves me a lot of energy.

Soon, I crossed the seventh cloud, and after that, it was the eighth cloud before moving toward the ninth cloud.

There are very few people here, but nearly all of those are the ten finishers of challenges.

I even saw the girl of lower five rank and Fox Beastman. I didn't see the girl who came second in the last challenge or the mustache man.

"Hey!"

Fox Beastman called out and I waved back.

I remained careful of every one of them, especially when they landed on the same platform as

me.

I avoided that mostly, but sometimes I couldn't.

I could predict my path and not the path of the others. A few times a person attacks, and sometimes they don't.

However, I noticed that the higher I got, the fewer people attacked.

They are intelligent and know, that reaching higher is important, that fighting, but if a target

is within reach, these intelligent people, wouldn't hesitate to attack each other.

"f.u.c.k!"

Soon, I pa.s.sed through the nine cloud and heard a curse from Fox Beastman, and yet it is a f.u.c.k.

The color of the platforms changed to blue, and they became much faster. Three times faster to exact it; their side had also shrunk by the third.

Earlier, two people could easily stand on it comfortably, but it would be barely.

The stakes have become higher, making my heartbeat wildly.

Thud!

I jumped onto the platform, waited for half a second jumped again. There was no platform

where I jumped, but suddenly the one right made a curved land beneath my feet.

I stayed on it, even when it moved down, before jumping to another platform.

While I am slowly climbing up, people are falling down.

It became much harder. There are only four people who are steadily moving up, including the girl and Fox Beastman.

Hun!

I pierced through the tenth cloud and entered eleven, noticing the change immediately. The number of platforms had reduced to half. Making the difficult things even more difficult. Hun!

I jumped from the plant, but at that same time, the girl jumped onto the platform, and it was coming toward me looking at the girl's stance, it was clear she didn't have any intention of sharing it.

My thoughts began to run wild, and I started to think why of it. The thing is, there is no platform around me.

As I reached close enough, she launched and kicked at me. I bend forward a little and move my leg forward in the kick.

Bang!

Our kicks. .h.i.t each other; the woman stabilized herself, while I made a curve in the air and started falling down.

Thud!

I fell for over three meters down, before landing on the platform and jumping out of it a second later.

A surprise flashed in the eyes of people who looked.

It's not difficult. If you had a complete map of platforms in mind and knew where, they would

be at night.

Another person fell down and then another. They were not lucky, not lucky to find the

platform and went down.

Soon, I pierced through the eleventh cloud and saw a completely different scene. First, there was no cloud, and second. I saw the destination, the end of the tower.

However, when I looked at platforms, I got scared.

The platforms had gotten even smaller and changed the color again.

This time, they are red.

They were moving erratically, in a completely different pattern than before.

I noticed another thing that shocked me the most. People seemed to have control over those

platforms.

They are using to hit each other and try to kick each other while trying to move at the top, while others are stopped.

It is a complete s.h.i.+ts-show, and the thing is the thirteen people are all who had been in the

top ten in at least one challenge, including the mustache man and the girl who came second in the last challenge.

I had not seen them till now, but it seemed like, they had been here.

Hun!

Seeing my platform go down, I jumped on the red platform. Immediately, a memory came

into my mind.

Giving me a list of rules and limitations. Which the creator had completely changed for this

last leg.
