The Invincible Supreme Medical God-Chapter 952 - 520: Challenge Difficulty 2
"Yes." As he looked at those in front of him, Bull cleared his throat, and his eyes appeared somewhat gentle. Clearly, from the moment they spent together in this fiery realm, he had become fond of these young people.
"So far, the next trial is the most challenging." He warned them. "Unlike those you can complete with sheer power, this will test your determination and willpower. It will test your martial arts heart and your desire for success."
"This test cannot be passed at all. You will enter a trance state and experience different things. Although these experiences are an illusion, they are as real as any other your soul has undergone. If your soul dies in these experiences, beware of the illusion, then you will truly die; your soul will never return to your body, forever trapped in your new reality."
"I have warned you. If you feel you do not possess the heart of a martial artist, then you should back down now."
Everyone looked at each other. Although these words made them somewhat worried, no one was willing to retreat.
"I may only be interested in food, but my military spirit has become increasingly strong since we came here; I am certain of my heart." Qiao suddenly said, and after he finished speaking, the others nodded. Everyone walked the martial path; they were all talented, confident in their determination and their hearts.
Seeing them all so resolute, no one backed down, Bull could only sigh in surprise. These specialists were young, yet they were not worried about pursuing the pinnacle of cultivation. Clearly, he hoped for the best, but in all the trials, most failed here. Consequently, Bull couldn't help but be nervous.
"At least one person will perish in this trial." He looked at them seriously and said. "Do you think obtaining life formation is a walk in the park? Believing that only one of you will die is already a very generous estimate of your abilities. If you're unlucky, only half may survive or even less!"
Bull hoped at least some of them would back down, but their eyes were filled with determination; clearly, they were all willing to go all the way and pass this trial.
Sighing, he took out his last ace.
"The next trial is a trial of talent. This trial is also a personal trial, only through it can one achieve life formation. You don't need to go through these trials to obtain the layers, only one person going through is enough. In this way, you can ensure no casualties for your team!"
Besides seeing these children's talents, their minds, and achievements, Bull preferred not to say anything because he didn't want any of them to die in this trial.
Yan Xiaobao was touched by Bull's gentleness, but he still shook his head. "Thank you very much for the kind words of senior." He began to look at his friends, with a smile on his face. "However, we went through this trial together. We will always have each other's support, although this trial is dangerous, I do not doubt any companion's military mindset. We went through the fire trial together, and we will also face all the trials together. There's no need to worry excessively about us, if anyone dies here, then when I become a God, I will sacrifice my life to go to Hell World to resurrect them." Yan Xiaobao's casual reference to resurrection shocked Bull, but he soon burst into laughter.
"Going to the mysterious world to resurrect dear ones? Yes, that is indeed a possibility, but to do so, you need to exchange something of equal value for the life of the person you wish to resurrect." Bull laughed. "Yan Luo will never let his soul leave! He controls Hell World with an iron fist. You need immense power or something he agrees to for him to consent. However, for some reason, I feel you might have potential in the future, so I'll say no more, let everyone engage in this deciding trial. Who knows, maybe you'll truly surprise me, and all of you will survive."
The friends looked at each other, all their faces filled with determination and excitement. None of them had previously tested their martial hearts, but all felt they had firm determination; therefore, they were not afraid of this test, only curious.
To be honest, Bull's words affected them, but hearing Yan Xiaobao willing to sacrifice for their lives, even after death, they would be reunited, they were no longer afraid of the trial. Even if they fail and perish, they would be saved by Yan Xiaobao. In their hearts, he had become a shining star of hope, someone they fully trusted. Even in death, he was someone they were willing to follow. 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮
Yan Xiaobao knew how high his friends were in their hearts, but he didn't want any of them to die. He understood Bull's words. Currently, he has nothing to please Hell World's ruler Yan Luo, so he needs all his friends alive. Still, this trial is not what he worries about. He grew up with all present friends, he knows the martial way is most important to them.
"Let's begin!" Yan Xiaobao ordered, and they all found seats in the cold, hard ground. Everyone closed their eyes, waiting for the trial to begin. Seeing everyone obey his command, Yan Xiaobao nodded. He closed his eyes, sitting on the icy floor, like the others.
Seeing them so resolute, Bull could only show a sad smile and initiate the deciding trial. Waving his hand, a golden light appeared in his palm and descended on everyone present. It fell between their eyes, entering the depths of the consciousness of those sitting on the ground.
They all felt this energy enter their bodies, and they did not resist it. All these people were interested in seeing what this dangerous deciding trial was like.
As the energy entered their bodies, everything went black. When they all collapsed on the ground, their consciousness seemed to disappear. Watching this happen, Bull could only sigh sadly, unable to do anything but hope all would return.
Moving to their side, he laid them on their backs as if they were asleep. This was much better than their cramped position of collapsing, especially since this trial might be very long. Only a strong enough military spirit could overcome the determination test, and to test this, a long-term challenge is needed.
Yan Xiaobao couldn't possibly know how much time had passed, but suddenly the darkness disappeared. Yan Xiaobao found himself awake in the same collapsed position. Had he succeeded? He couldn't remember the exam? Had his heart been tested? He didn't know, but it seemed he had passed.
Looking around, he found all his friends still unconscious, so he stood up and stretched for a while. Afterwards, he decided to see if he could find Bull, but no matter how much he looked, he couldn't find his trace.
Frowning, Yan Xiaobao couldn't help but feel something was amiss, but he couldn't fault the mistake. Pinching himself, he felt pain, and even Lan Feng was still cultivating within him as usual. His energy was exactly the same as before, his body seemed unchanged after the trial.
Yan Xiaobao shook his head, thinking this was part of the final trial. Bull had simply explained it, and he wasn't too worried about Bull's disappearance. Nevertheless, he decided not to start exploring the surroundings before others woke up. Not having Bull by their side was enough to make him more cautious.
Behind him, his friends were all in a row. He noticed they seemed just asleep.
Yan Xiaobao sat beside them, feeling that soon afterwards, the next person would wake up, so he began to cultivate.
He was right, after a while, Cai Jie woke up. His face filled with incredulity and confusion.
"What happened?" He asked, seeking answers from Yan Xiaobao. However, the young man could only shrug. He also didn't know what exactly happened during the trial.
"I think we'll never know. There should be another trial, the talent trial, but Bull has disappeared. Who knows how they will enter the final trial, or if they have already passed. Everything they know could be finished."
