Chapter 3997: Challenge of Intelligence II

"Begin!"
The voice rang out, and the people jumped toward the platforms immediately.
Only three on my platform didn't. a purple-skinned woman, that man from the Golden Prime organization, and me.
We kept looking at the tower and floating platforms, which had started moving.
The way they moved surprised everyone.
Some are fast, some are slow. Some moved up, and some moved, some left, and some moved. Some seemed to move totally erratically.
People moved on them, jumping platform after platform, but jumped fast enough and didn't predict it well as they fell down.
On the platform, two people jumped and the other decisively kicked him out, letting him fall. There is no ground beneath us.
I was thinking about whether these people died or ended up somewhere, one of the people who jumped and fell appeared on the platform.
It made me relieved, and also the person, who had appeared.
No one wants to die and now knowing there is no death. People would take even greater risks, including me, but it would also increase the difficulty of the challenge.
A minute passed, and suddenly, all the floating platforms changed their behavior.
Their behavior was already erratic, but it turned different type of erratic.
'I am right, there is a pattern.' I thought, seeing the sudden change, and focused more.
Concentrating on each platform before looking at together.
I do not care about people going higher with some breaching through the clouds. With the number of people falling down, it would be an idiocy, to start climbing without understanding those things.
Those people that went up are lucky. If they don't understand the pattern, they will fall down eventually.
Minutes passed, and I continued studying them. I am making progress, but it is slow.
If I had some help from my clones. I would find the pattern already.
It's fine. This way, it is more challenging. My clones may be good, but I am capable as well.
Ten minutes passed, and I was still on the platform, while those beside me at least jumped on the platform once. Though many had fallen down and back on the platform.
There is no single person, who hasn't gone up and fallen down on my platform.
It is not just erratic platforms that make things difficult, but also people.
They are pushing each other out and with everyone's strength being the same, it becomes a challenge to deal with the person who wants to push you.
'So this is the pattern,' I said as the things became clear to me finally.
With that done, I wasted not even a second and jumped on the platform, which started to fall immediately, but I only stayed on it for a moment before jumping into the one moving left
fast.
These pieces are moving fast, but everyone here is Sky Sovereign.
Even the luckiest one had worked hard to reach this state. This means they are good; their balance is good.
With the power we have; it would be really hard to maintain the balance for those below us. Second and a half later, I jumped and jumped again immediately, before waiting on the platform for seven seconds as it took me up and jumped again.
It's quite exciting, and I am having fun.
A minute passed, and I jumped on another platform, but another person jumped from a different direction.
Thud Thud!
We both landed at the same time and looked at each other.
"We don't have to fight," I said to the blue-horned man, and he nodded before kicking me.
I sighed internally and jumped, avoiding his kick, before kicking his chest hard and using it
jumped on the left platform, while the man cursed as he fell down.
He didn't have to attack me. We would have both used that platform.
I have seen many people sharing it, but those are a minority of them. Most people would
attack each other the moment they landed on the same platform.
It's such a waste of time; it's better to work together to reach high.
We can fight all we want after reaching the top.
Soon, I reached the clouds and platform, I was shot through it, taking me above it.
'As expected,; the challenge would be easy,' I said myself.
Many might think the clouds are the end, but they are not. It would be too easy; a challenge that could be finished within half an hour, while the time is for twelve hours.
Most importantly, it is a challenge of intelligence. No luck.
There are many lucky people who were able to breach through easily without understanding
the pattern. They would even reach, the second cloud with their luck.
If I am not wrong. The challenge would be difficult enough, that even luck wouldn't be
enough to cross it.
Minutes passed, and soon, I had reached the second cloud.
As I passed through it, I saw the third layer of clouds waiting for me above.
It put a smile on my face.
"It wouldn't be easy," I said and jumped on the platform. I like it very much; it will make the competition interesting.
Hundreds of people are jumping up to complete this challenge first. Many seemed to
understand the pattern and moving fast.
I didn't move too fast.
Instead of speed, I focused on understanding things. As I am sure, the creator of the challenge
had planned something more.
If it didn't, I would be really disappointed in the creator.
A few minutes passed, and I jumped on another platform that took me up.
I breached through the clouds through. I like to breach the platform, with those that go up; they lowered the risk in the cloud, that are thick.
Hun!
I felt something, as the platform suddenly sped up. I looked at other platforms around me and what I saw couldn't help, but bring a big smile to my face.
"Very good," I said with a toothy grin.
Now, I am sure, this challenge will not be simple at all. It is going to make a lot of people curse in frustration, while some, like me, will grin in joy.
