Not being able to hide his embarra.s.sment, "Mei"er! I am a changed man!" shouting with indignation trying to convince everyone that hears.Gao Shen cannot deny the fact that he loathes studying before, but by the time he started being serious with his cultivation, he also became interested in other knowledge.
He is more particular with brain challenges Fa Li gives as this senior of his enjoys such games to past the time.
With that, Fa Li pulled out an orb that"s as big as his head from his storage ring. It"s unclear what"s really inside the orb. It shows different images every second.
There are clouds with glitters like thunders. Then it will change after a moment to bright sky leaves falling from it. The next it"s snowing but there are rainbows as well in its skies.
Gao Lan Mei curiously staring at the orb, find it a unique work. Strange as well. "I like this."
By memory, this...o...b..is cold Eye of Meng. Things happening inside orb is like a dream, unpredictable, but still predictable. For the user, it can dream happiness or vice versa, his worst nightmare.
"The first one to find the same orb wins." He said with a wide smile then continuing, "Place both your right hands on it when I say "start". You can just remove your hand when you want to give up as well or if you want just to brag that you already won." Giving Gao Lan Mei a wink.
With a frown, "Senior, your money is supposed to be on me. Remember?" Gao Shen mused, sulking as it seems Fa Li is now siding with Gao Lan Mei. "Why is it that I feel the senior thinks I already lost."
"Hahaha! Of course. How can I forget." Just laughing it off. Then added, "The time limit is when someone wins or when I feel its time to let go."
Curiously asking, "Senior, there is only one of this, there right?" that was a stupid question. How can it be a challenge if that would be the case?"
"That"s for you to find out." Fa Li grinned at him. Paying his attention to w.a.n.g Li, "You have any problem with this?" he asked.
Shaking his head, "No." At first, the bet is just a kid"s game to him. Now, he is more interested to learn more about Gao Lan Mei"s capabilities.
This round would take time, he will not be surprised if the result is a draw.
Brain games do not only apply to simple answer and question challenges. As a cultivator, or a being entirely, the ability to discern the truth versus the not, is an advantage for survival.
If the Eye of Meng showed someone there most wonderful dream, would he drift to the illusion and be addicted to the fake pleasure the orb provides or turn his back, let go of his hands on the orb and face the reality head on?
This challenge tests the will mainly of the individual. Is he strong enough to face the reality regardless of how hard it is? It"s always easier for anyone to just pretend anyway.
As a Bai Hu inner disciple, Gao Shen is aware of the Eye of Meng. He is nervous, to be honest with what he will see. This is already more than the bet. He can feel the seniors are already testing him as well.
Does he need to win? Of course, not because he will lose face to Gao Lan Mei, but because it will show that his will and knowledge with reality is not enough.
Gao Shen is just thinking too much really. Fa Li choose the Eye of Meng on the whim because it was plainly fun to use and it will serve its purpose for this round.
