Monkey Mask and the other two went down to this level. When they heard the low shout, their breathing subconsciously slowed down, and their footsteps became much lighter. They quietly walked towards the cubicle.

The first level was Special Level, and this level represented the Guardian Level. Different levels would also have different resistance abilities.

Therefore, if they wanted to tie that person up silently here, they had to be more careful. It was best if they could take advantage of that person’s lack of attention.

There were not many people on this floor, only three or four.

Therefore, they quickly looked through everything.

The three of them looked at each other silently.

“You found him?”

“Not here either.”

The monkey mask gulped and slowly said, “Do you think it’s possible for him to… go to the next level?”

Pig Mask looked at the two of them and did not say anything. Clearly, he did not think that there was such a possibility.

In fact, although the monkey mask said that, he did not think that the person would be further down.

The dog-masked man was deep in thought. “If he’s really on the next level, then if we give him to them…”

The dog mask clearly hesitated.

The pig mask and monkey mask looked at each other. After a while, they sighed.

“Then what should we do now?” the monkey mask asked.

“Let’s go back. When the time comes, we’ll pay attention and see if he comes out. If he really comes out, he’s already gone to the next level. At that time, we’ll give up.” Dog Mask said.

“Why don’t we go down and take a look?” Pig Mask asked subconsciously.

“You don’t understand.” The dog mask said seriously, “It’s different from the first two levels. In the next level, there won’t be any pain. Those who cultivate below can actually stop cultivating at will.”

“Furthermore, not many people can reach the Monarch Level mental strength. They will be discovered immediately.”

Dog Mask looked at Pig Mask and Monkey Mask. “Let’s not talk about whether we tie him up or not. Even if we really want to go down, you guys can’t go down either. Only I can go down.”

“If he’s really down there and finds me, do you think I can tie him up alone?

This was simply a hundred thousand soul attacks. The pig mask and monkey mask sighed and nodded.

“You’re right. We can only do this.”

They returned to the first level and swiped the tablets again before leaving.

On the top of the fortress’s door, on a small platform, Sishe’s Vice Branch Master Wan Jinwei, and Chenlongs Vice Branch Master Qin Jiangyu, stood side by side.

Wan Jinwei watched with interest as the three people in casual clothes walked out of the fortress door. “Are the people from the Poker Association so stupid?”

Qin Jiangyu smiled. “I feel that theyre not considered members of the Poker Association yet. They can only be considered to have been tempted into going astray.

“That’s true. If they were really from the Poker Association, they wouldn’t be so timid. There’s a high chance that they would directly release some explosive Fantastic Beasts, right?” Wan Jinwei nodded and said.

“That’s right. Those people from the Poker Association have never taken Fantastic Beasts seriously.” Qin Jiangyu sighed.

“They don’t know that a senior has always been in this fortress. They were discovered as soon as they entered. He informed us.”

Hearing this, Wan Jinwei smiled. “It’s just that they don’t know. Otherwise, how can they be arrested one by one?

“They’re leaving. Follow them,” Qin Jiangyu said. He jumped down the door, hid in the darkness, and followed.

“Wait for me.” Wan Jinwei hurriedly jumped down and followed.

The Serene Empress’ recovery this time lasted for a long time. Not only did she recover, but she also improved a lot.

This time, the Serene Empress had truly stabilized her Guardian Level 3.

The Fantastic Beast energy increased by a lot again, reaching 52,864 joss.

Although the Fantastic Beast energy that had reached the Guardian Level increased a lot every day, there was still a lot of Fantastic Beast energy that was needed to upgrade.

After all, breaking through from the Special Level to the Guardian Level only required 10,000 joss. However, to break through from the Guardian Level to the Monarch Level, it required 100,000 joss.

Even if the Fantastic Beast energy that increased by more than ten points every day had increased by several times, the total amount was 100,000 joss. The Serene Empress still needed to double the Fantastic Beast energy to break through to the Monarch Level.

However, to Chen Qiyue, he had steadily reached the Monarch Level. He could sign a contract with a true monarch-level Fantastic Beast.

Chen Qiyue was at the Guardian Level if he had a Guardian Level Serene

Empress. However, if he signed a contract with a Monarch Level Fantastic Beast, he would be at the Monarch Level.

It could be said that Chen Qiyue was the most malleable now.

It was just that he didn’t know now.

The ranking of the second round was actually based on the amount of everyone’s mental strength when they came out after they could not withstand it. It was different from before.

In the original Grinding Stone, one only needed to stay for five days to enter the third round.

However, they did not expect that a lot of people had passed the first round. Coupled with some special reasons, the higher-ups of the Special Dragon

Group held an emergency meeting to change the system of the second round.

The reason was naturally because they wanted them to stay in the Grinding Stone for a few more days.

After all, if one’s mental strength was only calculated according to the number of days they stayed, it would ignore those who had stronger mental strength in the past.

Originally, if these people had the same mental strength, it would be fine.

Those with great mental strength could naturally stay inside for a long time.

However, with a pervert like Chen Qiyue, things were different.

The requirements for mental strength were also different at different levels.

Most importantly, Chen Qiyue’s mental strength was at the Monarch Level.

However, Chen Qiyue was the last to come out.

At the entrance of the first level, there were staff members holding tablets and letting everyone who came out go to the mental strength tester at the side to test their mental strength.

Many people did not leave after coming out. Instead, they stayed outside.

They wanted to see the strength of the people in the same batch as them.

On the other side of the screen, the rankings were recorded. For every new person, if their mental strength exceeded others, the person ranked first would change.

Behind those names, their mental strength levels would be marked.

Although it did not reveal their specific mental strength, others could roughly guess their strength.

Many people were waiting at the side, including Hou Fei and Wen Xiangqin.

In fact, the longer they waited, the more perfect the rankings would be. Many people would already know if they could enter the third level after a certain period of time.

Hou Fei and Wen Xiangqin came out very late this time.

Gu Qiaoqiao stood at the door with a pale face. When she saw Hou Fei and Wen Xiangqin, she greeted them.

“You’re out. Hurry up and test it. However, those who come out late usually have a lot of mental strength increase.”

Hou Fei and Wen Xiangqin nodded and went to take the test.

Then, two new names appeared in the top 27 of the rankings.

Gu Qiaoqiao happened to be squeezed out of 27. When she saw this scene, her face instantly fell.

“Ah, the ranking has indeed decreased. How could you guys stay inside for so long? The mental strength grinding is so painful.” Seeing that Hou Fei and Wen Xiangqin had returned from the test, Gu Qiaoqiao came up to them.

Hearing Gu Qiaoqiao’ s question, Hou Fei and Wen Xiangqin looked at each other and smiled. Then, they reached out and rolled up their sleeves.

Then, Gu Qiaoqiao gasped.

Because she saw the needle marks on their arms.

“Damn, did you inject something…” Gu Qiaoqiao covered her mouth and asked softly.

“What are you thinking about! Wen Xiangqin reached out and knocked Gu Qiaoqiao on the head. “Boss said that if we’re close to giving up, we should use a needle to stab ourselves!”

“Yes, yes.” Hou Fei nodded. “It’s really very useful. As soon as the needle is inserted, my scalp goes numb and my mind is invigorated. It’s as if grinding doesnt hurt.”

At the side, Wen Xiangqin explained, “Although in fact, the grinding pain is really painful, the reminder on my body prevents me from immersing myself in the pain of mental strengtlm It’s really effective.”

Hearing this, Gu Qiaoqiao blinked in shock. “Brother Qiyue didn’t tell me about such a useful skill!”

Hou Fei and Wen Xiangqin looked at Gu Qiaoqiao steadily and asked in unison,

“If he had told you, would you have used it?”

Gu Qiaoqiao shook her head. “Definitely not!”

“That’s it!”
