Wang Ye wants to open the city gate?

Wang Ye, can you open it?

You know, Xu Heng's strength far surpasses that of Wang Ye. Even when using all his strength, he wasn't able to open the gate, let alone expecting Wang Ye to do so.

"You? I couldn't open the gate even with my full strength. How could you possibly do it?" Yuan Shuo spoke up. The facts were before him, and he felt that even if Wang Ye tried, it would be in vain.

Xu Heng also thought that Wang Ye underestimated the difficulty of opening the city gates, candidly revealing that he had just exerted his full strength.

Upon hearing Xu Heng's words, Yuan Shuo's face revealed an expression that said "just as I thought." This Xu Heng was really setting him up.

It made him think that Xu Heng had only used nine-tenths of his strength, but it turned out Xu Heng had applied his full power just to make the city gates make a sound.

No wonder no matter how hard he tried, the gate wouldn't budge at all.

Wang Hui cautioned Wang Ye, "You heard it too, Wang Ye. Even Elder Xu couldn't open the gate using all his strength, and your power is slightly weaker compared to Yuan Shuo."

Wang Hui didn't finish her sentence, but her meaning was clear.

If even Yuan Shuo couldn't open the gate, it was even more impossible for Wang Ye.

Liu Na's delicate face, however, showed a thoughtful expression. She knew that since Wang Ye wanted to try, he must have his reasons.

Besides, knowing Wang Ye for so long, whenever Wang Ye said he could do something, he often brought success, not failure.

Thus, Liu Na directly addressed Xu Heng and Yuan Shuo, "Elder Xu, President Yuan, since Wang Ye wants to try, please let him have a try. Otherwise, how can we know that Wang Ye cannot open the gate?"

"Alright, alright."

Xu Heng made way for Wang Ye, "Since Wang Ye wants to try, let him try. You young people always feel you'll succeed without experiencing failure first."

When Xu Heng said this, there was some complaint in his tone, but fundamentally, it was filled with admiration.

He truly liked the spirit of young people who wouldn't concede without trying.

Wang Ye didn't push the gate immediately; instead, he went from the left side of the gate to the right, causing Xu Heng and the others to be taken aback by his action.

What did Wang Ye want to do?

You know, to open a city gate, you definitely push from the left side. The right side is usually where the gate is welded, and naturally, you can't push it open from there.

Unless he wanted to knock down the entire gate...

"What is he doing?" Wang Hui voiced her confusion. Yuan Shuo beside her shook his head, equally puzzled as he replied, "I don't know."

Wang Ye's way of handling things always seemed incomprehensible.

Liu Na and Xu Heng exchanged glances and could see the word "confused" written in each other's eyes. It took a while for Xu Heng to say to Liu Na:

"Should we remind him that he's going the wrong way?"

"No need."

Liu Na didn't know what Wang Ye intended to do, but she knew he wouldn't make such a basic mistake. Since Wang Ye acted this way, he must have his own purpose.

Under everyone's eyes, Wang Ye passed the right side of the gate and continued towards the right.

This time, Yuan Shuo and the others couldn't hold back any longer, shouting towards Wang Ye, "Wang Ye, have you gone the wrong way?"

"You're supposed to open the gate, but you've already gone past it!"

From their initial confusion, Yuan Shuo and the others were now somewhat at a loss regarding Wang Ye's actions. Maybe Wang Ye didn't plan to open the gate from the beginning.

Perhaps he just wanted to find a lower section of the parapet to climb over directly?

"I haven't gone the wrong way."

Wang Ye stopped about a meter from the right gate, turned his head to Yuan Shuo and the others, and spoke.

He then reached towards the wall. The part that appeared to be stone on the surface was actually very thin, and behind it was a mechanism.

After Wang Ye tapped a few points inside, the city gate on Xu Heng and Yuan Shuo's side started to open slowly with a "rumbling" sound.

Because the gate hadn't been opened for a long time, dust and debris showered down as it moved.

Yuan Shuo and Xu Heng, however, seemed to be unaware of it as they stared blankly towards the oncoming Wang Ye, feeling like they had been as unintelligent as primitive people.

As Wang Ye advanced, he addressed Xu Heng and the others, "This city gate, though I'm not sure what material it's made from, just from the density of its surface, it's clear that it must be quite heavy."

"If brute force were used, there would be no way to open it, or to put it another way, even Elder Xu, a Second Rank Martial Master, couldn't open it."

"Therefore, to open the gate, there must be a mechanism. I thought about it just now, and a typical mechanism would be located at that part of the gate."

Wang Ye's explanation was straightforward, containing no logical flaws.

It was as simple as a child demonstrating to their parents why 1+1 equals 2.

However, the simpler Wang Ye's explanation was, the more shame Yuan Shuo, Xu Heng, and the others felt listening to him.

Thinking back to how they had exhausted themselves trying to open the gate and had even set each other up to see one another make fools of themselves, while barely holding back laughter,

They felt... they were like primitive people without intelligence.

Xu Heng didn't even offer a word of praise to Wang Ye, instead silently gazing towards those who hadn't reached the gate yet. Unseen by them, Wang Ye revealed a sly smile on his face.

You two were constantly hurting each other there, but in fact, you didn't anticipate this, did you? You both thought you were on the third level, but actually, you were only on the first.

And I,

am on the ninth level!

Liu Na, watching Wang Ye's cunning smile, quietly took out a camera from somewhere and captured this side of Wang Ye. By the time Wang Ye noticed, Liu Na had already finished shooting the scene of the crime.
