468 Catch! (1/2)
However, Light Spirit immediately refused his idea.
”Not gonna work, this merging of elements you are doing is a very delicate process, not something you can achieve forcefully. The Law Eating Sub-Law of my Purple Tribulation Lightning Laws will immediately destroy the balance. If you really want to try something like that, you will need to completely comprehend my Law Eating Sub-Law. Only then will you be able to stop my Purple Tribulation Lightning from destroying your Elemental merge.”
Krune was obviously sad to hear that.
”There is no need to feel like that. Instead, you can use the Purple Tribulation Lightning as support for skills that use it. For example, you like to use your Myriad Water Dragons with the Purple Tribulation Lightning. Although they are not really merging, they are still supporting each other. It greatly increases the strength of your Myriad Water Dragons. You can simply do the same thing with skills that use this Merged Elements. Use the Purple Tribulation Lightning to boost the power of the skills.”
Krune nodded, he had to admit that it was a very good idea.
Suddenly, someone stood up and moved in the direction of the Light Pillar.
”Look, someone is finally trying again!”
”Great! I wanted to see the test once more, maybe I can understand something.”
”Understand what, Idiot? This is a test of resolve, of will! If your will is not strong, you won't be able to pass. It is that simple!”
Krune heard the conversation around and felt puzzled. Looking around, Krune selected someone in the middle of those who were talking to ask with a Divine Sense Message?
”Hey, friend. Shouldn't the test be closed from view? Can you really see what is happening inside while he is in the middle of it?”
The person looked at Krune and noticed that it was the guy using the Godly Stones. For a second, he thought about ignoring him. But in the end, he knew Krune would find the answer once the person moving to the Light Pillar entered it. So he decided to talk since he wouldn't lose anything anyway.
”It is usually like this. However, this level is different. It will show images of the person going through the test to those outside. As you heard, this is a test of will. The formations inside will attack your mind. It has nothing to do with Soul Power, though. Having a strong or weak Soul will make no difference for the test.”
”All that matter is if your own will is strong enough to step forward or not. Everything can affect someone's will, even an audience. Everyone believes that this test shows those inside so that they will feel even more pressure. Anyway, I think you understood the gist of it. This thing has a total of 18 levels from what I heard. All you need to do is to walk forward.”
Krune couldn't help but feel interested in this test. He had never passed through something like this before. Even the tests of the Mohie Sect back in the Luvile Universe were targeted at the soul rather than the will.
Sure enough, as soon as that guy entered, images of what was happening inside were shown through a powerful Divine Sense that came from the Light Pillar. The participants outside could block it if they wanted, but who would lose the opportunity to watch the show inside?
The first area that appeared seemed to be a snowing path. The guy instinctively raised his Energy Barrier to block the cold, but it proved to be useless. The others outside laughed after seeing that.
”Idiot, energy protection is completely useless. Even equipments are of no use there.”
”Hahaha! Does he even understand what a test of will is?”
”I bet he won't reach even the 6th floor.”
”6th? I think it will be a miracle if he enters the 4th.”
Noticing that any type of energy protection was useless, the man gritted his teeth and went with the cold. He wanted to fly and pass the 10km fast. But he noticed that he could not fly, even running was also out of the question.
Krune also noticed one thing. The time inside that test passed at least a hundred times faster. But he soon understood. If this test followed the outside time flow, this test would take to long to finish.
However, Krune could already see that he seemed to be having a hard time continuing. The cold continued to seep into his body, which began to get hard to resist. That wasn't all, the cold didn't attack only the body, but the mind too. It was indeed a test of one's will.
Of course, this was only the first level, so he was still able to finish.
On the second level, the ambient changed entirely. What before was a snowing path, now became a searing desert. For a moment, the guy relaxed. He felt comfortable to have all that cold expelled from his body. However, before walking past even 1/10 of the desert, he was already feeling thirsty.
He took a jar from his spatial ring and started to drink whatever was inside. Unfortunately, it didn't matter how much he drunk, it didn't change anything at all. It was as if he wasn't even drinking to start with. Finally, the guy gave up using any outside help and focused on the test alone. It was evident that nothing else would help him in this test.
Slowly, he pressed forward.
