Chapter 725: 1st Trial: Cleared! On to the next one! (2/2)

”How fast are we talking about?” Raven asked inquisitively.

”Well, you took somewhere around 6-7 years in there. Change the years into months, you'll have an answer.”

Raven sighed as he heard this. Good thing he only spent that much time, he thought that the time ratio within the trials and the real world was 1:1.

”Congratulations on clearing the 1st Trial.” The Trial Administrator smiled and caught the stone steele that's being kept at Raven's consciousness. ”You got the highest rating for this mission which is very impressive. It's been a while since a challenger managed to do that.”

”Your rewards won't be revealed for now. You'll eventually know it when you finished all the trials or used-up all of your chances. Of course, in the off-chance that you died, don't expect me to give you anything. Don't tell me I didn't warn you.”

”I understand. When can I go for the next trial?”

”Relax, son.” The Trial Administrator told him. ”Don't be in so much of a hurry. Technically you can go onto the nest trial right away but I would seriously ask you to reconsider. You're dead tired despite what you look. Also, you just returned from your body. You might want to re-adjust for a while.”

When the Trial Administrator said this, Raven started inspecting his state and that made his smile wryly. It is indeed as the administrator said, he needs some rest.

He unknowingly neglected his personal health because of the high. He really needs some rest.

”Let me reiterate this again, son.” The administrator told him, ”Don't be in a hurry. Despite what the 1st Trial was like for you, it has another purpose. And that is to measure you're truly capabilities.”

”From the 2nd Trial onwards, things will get significantly harder since the Celestials have already discovered your potential. Prepare yourself physically, mentally and emotionally. Get cocky and the following trials might just break your spirit or worse, be your graveyard.”

”I understand, thank you for the reminder.” Raven really appreciated that.

”You're welcome. Anyways, I'll leave you to your own. Do what you have to do. When you feel like your completely ready, just call for me an I'll appear to give you your next mission and send you to the next trials waiting for you.”

Raven nodded. As he was about to set-up some tents and enjoy a long sleep, he heard another reminder from the Trial Administrator.

”Oh and by the way, despite what it looks like, Time actually doesn't flow in this place while you're around. It resumes whenever you are inside a trial. Do what you want with that information.”

After saying this, the administrator disappeared and left Raven to marinate on his own thoughts.

”How about that?” Raven raised a brow and shrugged.

For now, he didn't think too much about it. What he must focus on is having a good rest.

In order to get the most out of this little vacation, Raven decided to pretty much turn off his brain for a while.

He didn't plan on cultivating, training, analyzing laws, integrating with memories or worrying about what's happening outside, he can't get out of here anyways. Because of this, Vendrick is now moving out of pure instinct. He was hibernating inside his consciousness and recovering.

Whenever he felt hungry, he will eat. If he feels dirty, he'll take a bath. And if he ever felt lazy, he'd just stay in bed. Most of time though, he was just sleeping.

Thanks to this, he was recovering and getting back to his top shape. He has no worries or complaints, he's neither happy nor sad either, just...existing.

Since time was frozen in this place, he didn't feel any sort of urgency. He could literally stay like this and just continue whenever he feel like it.

But of course, he didn't plan on staying like for a very long time. As soon as he woke up from his hibernation, he continued slowly re-familiarized himself with own body.

He trained for a bit, visited the crown space to integrate with the Law Insights of his Avatars. He also consulted them about what's happening to the other side and he learned that so far, everything was still going according to plan.

After he got used to his body once more and stabilized everything back to normal, he called the administrator to send him to the 2nd Trial.
