Reincarnation of the Human Swordsman
29
Third Archway, the archway where the goddess of fortune accompanied Zhang. Here perhaps Zhang will seize the position of Yue Jian who had continued to take the first position very smoothly.
“Hahahaha!” Zhang laughed at the sight of a giant bell plated with gold and steel, hovering before him. “This time I can make sure I definitely escaped the first time!”
“Alright, in this Third Gate you will be considered to escape if you can sound me by hitting. But you are forbidden to use any style, must use pure physical strength!”
“I feel very sorry for you Yue Jian, because you will fail in this Third Archway!” zhang said, it was very confident that he would be able to get away with it easily here.
“You only have three times the chance to hit,” continued the giant bell.
“That's more than enough!” Zhang immediately launched one loud punch at the giant bell. Then, with just one blow, the bell immediately rang. Zhang managed to escape the Third Gate with just one try.
“Happy you made it!”
“It's so easy for me!”
Zhang immediately walked out through the giant bell that was now turned into an exit. This time, the one who first came out of the gate was Zhang, no longer Yue Jian. Of course it happened, because in this gate Zhang did not need to think and only needed to hit with all his might in order to escape.

“Haah .. haah .. haah ...” Yue Jian's breathing was irregular. This young man had already used twice his punch rations to ring the giant bell in front of him. However, the result is nil. He still could not ring the bell.
“Do you want to give up?” ask the giant bell.
“No going!” yue Jian replied, firmly. “If this was Zhang, he would definitely easily pass this test! But I won't lose to him!” This young man still had not lost his spirit in order to escape the Third Gate.
“Good. Immediately use your last blow, young man.”
Yue Jian managed to catch his breath. He cleared his mind, gathering his remaining physical strength. “This is not a test that tests thinking skills. I need to calm down, clear my mind, then take out all the power!”
The young man was in no hurry. He was still able to calm down despite facing tests that were incompatible with his abilities. He convinced himself that he was up to the test and got away!
“I'm ready!” said Yue Jian, firmer.
“Please,” reply giant bells.
“Ha!!” Yue Jian formed sturdy horses, launching one punch with his right hand. This punch was the strongest blow he could do with his current physique.
*tong*!
That one voice instantly made Yue Jian smile widely. He was finally able to painstakingly escape the test in the Third Archway. This really makes him relieved.
This time, Yue Jian did not become the participant who came out first, but he also did not become the last. And different from before, Yue Jian decided to rest for a moment on the thirty-first rung. He intended to recover the energy, before finally returning to climb.
Standing on the thirty-third step, Yue Jian saw that the other warriors had great difficulty climbing one by one. The abilities of the swordsmen were indeed not on par with Yue Jian, so Yue Jian justified the matter and just silently observed.
“Once in a while rest in the place that has been provided, I don't think it's a bad thing,” muttered Yue Jian.

As a good and very wise teacher, I observed closely how my students completed the test that was before their eyes. Different from before, this time the snot brat was the one who first came out of the gate. Naturally, because the Third Gate did not make the participants here think long to be able to complete it.
It was the most suitable gate obtained by the snot boy. However, it was a pity that the test was so-so unsuitable for the intelligent Yue Jian, able to master many moves, but did not possess physical strength as strong as a snot brat. Yes, everyone does have their own advantages and disadvantages.
Then, after some time of waiting, I finally saw Yue Jian come out of the Archway. He looks different than before. This time he did not immediately rush up the stairs to reach the next gate, but instead rested for a moment.
“It was a good decision, Yue Jian,” muttered me, praising my intelligent disciple. “You don't have to rush to get all this done. All have their own time.”
After a while, Yue Jian seemed to exhale deeply, preparing to continue this selection. He then walked up each step calmly, then managed to reach the Fourth Gate faster than some warriors who first climbed this ladder.
“When I come in,” I said as I climbed up to enter the Fourth Gate. “Four times to enter the gate, I am no longer impressed by the many dimensions that are owned in each gate.”
“Welcome to Gapura Fourth.”
This time, who is talking? It can't be the black plank or the giant bell anymore, right, who will be testing in this Fourth Archway? Never mind, let's see.
Yes ... how do I say this. Now what floats and talks to me is a scroll. What is this sign? Is the test this time to destroy a scroll?
“In this Fourth Gate, you will only do simple things, so do not panic or be afraid.”
“I want to know how simple it is.”
The not-so-large scroll was also open. He showed me the writing listed in the scroll. I don't know why I immediately understood the essence of this test.
“Here you only need to master the existing moves in the reels!” the scroll said. “You will be given at most only half an hour, starting from now!”
“Half hours?” I said, repeating. “It's too long!” This time I can be sure that neither Yue Jian nor the Snot brat will be able to pass this test very easily. “This is just a joke!”
As I expected, after I came out of the Fourth Gate after mastering the style of the little boy in the scroll earlier, I could see Yue Jian and the Snot Boy were chatting casually on the forty-first step. This time I don't know which one of them came out first.
“Paution!” Yi Xian suddenly came, then exclaimed. “Before climbing up to the Fifth Gate, you are allowed to rest on the forty-first steps, because I will deliver something after everything comes.”
Say something? Maybe that's the important thing. Better to wait.
