Chapter 272 The Academy's "Mysterious" Trial

"Oh my, this breakfast is actually cold porridge!" Chu Tian sipped the cold porridge in his mouth and looked at the plate with dissatisfaction. "Yesterday's ancient maze was too exciting, and today's breakfast is so 'mysterious'."

"I bet this is definitely the 'Advanced Trial' of the Academy, which challenges your patience through the taste of the food." Zhang Meng analyzed in a serious tone, "This kind of experience is considered 'qualified' for explorers."

"Wow, so we are going through a 'trial' now?" Wang Yue bit the dry bread and teased with a smile, "Then I hope that the next trial will allow us to taste a hot breakfast."

Ye Li watched the interaction between the few people and smiled softly: "Okay, everyone, don't worry about breakfast. Today's schedule will not be changed because of cold porridge."

"That's right," Qin Feng stood up and clapped his hands, "Today we have a new task - the 'secret trial' in the academy. It is said that this trial can test our 'comprehensive ability'."

"Comprehensive ability? Are we going to be tested on how to find fun in cold porridge?" Chu Tian asked mischievously.

"Don't joke," Qin Feng smiled and shook his head, "Today's trial is much more complicated than we imagined. I heard that the academy's 'secret trial' was designed by a mysterious ancient elder, and the content is very... mysterious."

"How mysterious is it?" Zhang Meng asked curiously.

"It's so mysterious that even I don't understand it," Qin Feng scratched his head, "but I heard that each level of the trial will test our intelligence, courage and teamwork."

"I'm really looking forward to it!" Chu Tian stood up excitedly, "I can't wait to see how mysterious this 'mysterious' trial is!"

Everyone left the cafeteria with laughter and headed for the trial site. On the way, Chu Tian kept talking about his adventure experience, and Zhang Meng responded with exaggerated expressions from time to time, and the atmosphere was very relaxed.

"Look, that's the entrance to the trial!" Ye Li pointed to an ancient building in front and said, "It is said that after entering this building, today's trial can begin."

The door of the building was engraved with strange runes, giving people a mysterious and solemn feeling. Everyone worked together to push open the heavy door and walked into the building.

The hall was filled with ancient decorations and mysterious symbols. Suddenly, a scroll dropped from the ceiling, which read: "Welcome to the 'Mysterious Trial'! All brave explorers, please prepare yourself for the first challenge!"

"Wow, even the scroll says 'mysterious'." Chu Tian exclaimed as he read the scroll, "I feel like this 'mysterious' atmosphere is getting stronger and stronger."

"What is the challenge of the first level?" Wang Yue asked curiously.

"According to the clues on the scroll, we need to solve the puzzle." Qin Feng read the scroll carefully, "The puzzle will test our intelligence and logical ability."

"Puzzle? Let's get started!" Zhang Meng said impatiently, "I'm the best at solving puzzles!"

Everyone gathered around the scroll and began to work on the puzzle. The puzzle was: "Five rooms, five different elements, each with its own specific properties. Find the right room to unlock the secret."

"That sounds simple," Chu Tian said confidently, "We just need to find the corresponding room."

"But the problem is, we have no clues," Ye Li frowned, "There may be all kinds of traps and problems hidden in these rooms."

"Well, it looks like we need to use our brains." Qin Feng pondered, "Why don't we split up and each person take charge of a room."

"Good idea," Wang Yue nodded, "Then I'll go check the 'water' room."

"I'll go to the 'fire' room." Chu Tian agreed immediately, "I'm most interested in the fire element!"

"Then I'll go to the 'Wind' room." Zhang Meng said, "I also have some experience with the wind element."

"I'll go to the 'Earth' room." Ye Li chose, "Qin Feng will be in charge of the remaining 'Light' room."

Everyone went to their designated rooms and began their exploration. Qin Feng walked into the 'light' room and found that the room was full of light-reflecting devices and mirrors. He carefully observed these devices and found that they were arranged into a complex light path network.

"It seems that we need to adjust the angle of these mirrors so that the light can correctly shine on the center of the room." Qin Feng said to himself.

After some adjustments, an ancient rune appeared in the center of the room, flashing a mysterious light. Qin Feng carefully touched the rune, and the wall of the room suddenly cracked, revealing a hidden passage.

"It seems that I have dealt with the light element room." Qin Feng smiled at the record on his watch, "Next should be the situation in other rooms."

The situations in other rooms are also different. Chu Tian found a huge flame device in the 'fire' room, and he needs to solve the puzzle by rotating the direction of the flame. Zhang Meng found some fan devices in the 'wind' room, and he needs to adjust the wind speed to trigger the mechanism. Ye Li found some heavy stones in the 'earth' room, and he needs to find the correct order to arrange them.

After some effort, everyone finally succeeded in solving their own puzzles. After all the puzzles in the room were solved, a shining path appeared on the wall of the room, leading to a mysterious room.

"Everyone gather together! Let's go and see the final secret together!" Qin Feng shouted loudly.

Everyone gathered together and followed the glorious path to the final room. In the center of the room was an ancient treasure chest inlaid with patterns of the five elements.

"Finally here!" Chu Tian said excitedly, "This treasure chest may be the ultimate prize of today's trial!"

"Open it and take a look." Wang Yue encouraged, "We have gone through so many challenges, we will definitely find the ultimate secret."

Qin Feng carefully opened the treasure chest, which was filled with various precious gems, ancient documents, and a note that read: "Congratulations on completing the 'Mysterious Trial'! This is a recognition of your wisdom and courage. May you continue to maintain this spirit in your future adventures!"

"Wow, this is awesome!" Zhang Meng said excitedly, "We finally completed this trial!"

"Yes, this trial not only tested our intelligence, but also made us more united." Ye Li said with a smile, "I believe this experience will be of great help to our future adventures."

"No matter what challenges the future holds, we will meet them," Qin Feng said firmly, "because we are the best team!"

Everyone cheered and left the trial room with a full sense of accomplishment. Although today's trial was over, they knew that there would be more challenges and adventures waiting for them in the future.

On the way back to the dormitory, Chu Tian said mischievously: "Seriously, can you give us a hot breakfast for the next trial?"

"Good idea," Qin Feng responded with a smile, "Maybe this trial will allow me to become a 'breakfast explorer'!"

Everyone returned to the dormitory with laughter, looking forward to the next adventure and challenge.
