Chapter 55 - I Would Take the Idiot Though. (1/2)

But to enjoy that view, Krune has to first pass the test himself, but then again, if him who had his soul tempered with tribulation lightning doesn't pass, then the others better give up there and then.

He was teleported to the room with the sphere in the center, it shined goldenly and left some ripples now and then, Krune moved forward to take a close look at it. It was then that the robotic voice talked again.

”Second test, soul endurance, you will receive ten attacks, if you resist all of them, the level of the attacks will increase and you will receive ten attacks again, as long as you resist five levels of ten attacks each, you will pass the test, contestant has one minute to put his hands over the Divine Sense sphere at the center of the room, if contestant wants to give up, just release your hands from the Divine Sense sphere and the test will be over, test starts now!”

Krune took a deep breath and put his hands over the sphere, outside, Shinja and the other were observing Krune's performance, if Krune doesn't pass, then they will have even less of a chance of doing so.

Krune put his hands over the Divine Sense sphere and made up his mind.

'I don't know how to resist the attacks to start with, so I will simply counter attack by sending my Divine sense against the one coming at me, it can't be considered a real Divine Sense attack but it's better than nothing.'

Outside, Yusa asked Hasik if it would be too hard for Krune to pass the test. Yusa and the other two understand very well that if Krune doesn't pass all ten levels, they definitely won't do any better.

”I think he has a good chance of reaching the eighth level, but to resist all ten will be somewhat difficult, but as long as he temper his soul enough to do that it will be very beneficial to his future, of course, if he pass all ten levels, then that's even better.”

It was then that they heard a weird sound.

”Crack!”

Hasik's eyes glued on the illusory image showing the Divine Sense sphere, he could swear that the sound came from it, just as he was about to check what happened.

”Puff”

The Divine Sense sphere became dust, it was gone, just like that…

Yusa and the other looked at Hasik, the look on their faces told more than a thousand words.

'Wasn't it supposed to be a somewhat difficult test? How come it broke the moment Krune started?'

Hasik wanted to cry, he also doesn't know what happened just now.

Krune passed through the teleportation formation and was back to the Order Hall, his face looked awkward, he went all out to be sure to resist all ten levels, but the sphere broke just like that, Hasik looked at Krune and simply asked.

”When the test started, what did you do?”

Krune sighed and recounted what happened, it was then that Hasik understood the situation, he couldn't help but look at Krune as if he was some anomaly.

”Well, I think that because the Divine Sense Sphere adjusts itself according to the contestant level, its defence also does the same, when you counter attacked with all your power, it couldn't resist a Divine Sense that was at the late stages of the Foundation Establishment and then turned into dust.”

Krune heard that and felt a little helpless.

”The Mohie Sect products are quite low quality, aren't they?”

Hasik's mouth twitched a little.

'Low quality your head! You were supposed to resist the attacks, not attack back. Do you know how valuable and difficult to make those Divine Sense spheres are?'

”Cough, cough, I will send you to another test room, this time, don't try to attack back, just resist the attack, this is an endurance test, not an offensive one.”

Krune nodded and was teleported to another room with another Divine Sense sphere.

The robotic voice explained all the rules again and initiated the test.

Back at where Krune's friend were, Hasik and they were watching the test when suddenly.

”Crack!”

Hasik was just a sliver of will left behind in the illusory formation, but the will almost dissipated in that instant, he looked at the Divine Sense sphere and then…

”Puff.”

It turned into dust again, Hasik wanted to cry but had no tears, Yusa and the other looked at that and then looked at Hasik, and they couldn't help but say.

”Isn't this Divine Sense sphere a little too fragile?”

Hasik pretended that he didn't hear anything.

Krune came back, his face contorting, it was obvious that he also didn't expect that it would turn to dust the second it started, Hasik looked at Krune and calmed himself.

”What exactly did you do now?”

Krune shook his head.

”I really didn't do anything, I only protected myself, I didn't know how to defend against a real Divine Sense attack, so I simply converged my Divine Sense entirely around my soul, but who could have guessed that the attack was so weak that it receive a backlash from my Divine Sense and made the sphere turn into dust again. That thing is too weak, it can't be used at all!”

Hasik started to consider if it was really a good thing to have this guy to receive the Mohie Sect Legacy.

'Whatever, it just means that his Divine Sense power and control are excellent, I should be happy instead.'

He looked at Krune and said,

”There is no point in you doing this test anymore, it's obvious that the Divine Sense sphere isn't a match to your Divine Sense in the same cultivation level, I will just consider it as you having passed the test with the highest score, just take the spirit stones reward with me when the test for your friends is over.”

'Besides, this branch doesn't have many others, if you break everything, this test will be doomed.'

Krune nodded and stepped aside, Ao went forward first to try his luck against the Divine Sense sphere.
