22 Chapter 22: The Principals anxiety! (1/2)
”The trial is finally over! Let's go!” shouted Ling Yu as they immediately ran towards Duan Li who was still sitting cross-legged on the center.
”Duan Li!”
”Wake up!”
”Duan Li wake up!”
They called out to him numerous times as Ling Yu shook his body.
”Uhhh..”
Duan Li slowly opened his eyes as he groaned. The throbbing pain he felt in his brain left him to clutch his head together as he tried to stood up. Even worse, his insides felt stiffling enough to the point that he was about to throw up.
”Sister Ling Yu..?” he said after finally getting a clear view. Duan Li could see that her face was quite pale.
”Are you okay boy?! We thought that you were done in that final moment!”
Wang Guozhi was at the side while wiping his sweat off his forehead, remembering that earth-shattering battle that he had just witnessed with everyone was like a bad nightmare!
”That battle was terrible.. your nose was bleeding continuously as you fight those monsters..” said Xiahou Yu. Her mind was still in a daze, terrified.
”En! And when we tried to stop the magic, the runic formations doesn't respond to our controls at all! This has never happened before!” said Ran Yang as she shook her head and exhaling in relief seeing Duan Li safe and sound.
She had lost her cool during that incident and went panic when she realized that she couldn't stop the magic.
”You even spat a mouthful of blood when the sun dragon descended!”
Ling Yu's eyes was in tears as her worries was finally over and the worse that she imagined didn't happen. Otherwise, if Duan Li were to die in the middle of a test, how could she explain that to his mother?
Furthermore, who would even believe that a student had died due to an illusion test that was supposed to be harmless for even non-martial artists?
They would be put under the suspicion of killing an innocent student of the academy!
”Bloody nose?.. spat out blood?” answered Duan Li as he looked downwards. Sure enough, his clothes has patches of blood here and there.
”At first, when the ancestor said that it was not a test but real, we didn't believe it and had just assume that the illusion magic did really well in setting up such an environment.” said Ran Yang while casting healing spells onto the four student who were tasked to set up the illusion magic before as their practice.
They lost their consciousness as their spiritual Qi was sapped dry during that time. It was fortunate that Ran Yang immediately cast a protection spell on them. Otherwise, who would know what would have happened?
Moreover, the test grew even morebizarre and horrifying as they watched further;
The fall of the empire..
Their deaths..
The battle with the titan race..
The descend of the sun dragon..
And finally, the whole Tian continent bursting out into flames!!
That was too eery for a mere illusion to test one's own spirit and will that involved the fate of the whole Tian continent!
Thus, after watching that wretched future of themselves, Ling Yu, Wang Guozhi, Xiahou Yu and Ran Yang felt something changed within themselves.
Like a small burning candle transformed into a raging flames due to being splashed with oil, they found themselves extremely motivated to reach an end goal, an invincible prowess that they must achieve no matter what!
To become stronger than they could possibly imagine!
They clenched their fists tightly in agitation with this new goal as they look at Duan Li.
They swore to themselves that they will stood by him to fight together for that end times!
Meanwhile, as they were resolving themselves with extreme training methods planned out within their minds, Duan Li was worrying about something else.
”So they saw everything..” said Duan Li to himself.
He forgot that the trial could be viewed by others using that reflective mirror at the heat of the moment as he was too absorbed within the emotions of his future self.
He was domineering, brave and ultimately strong, and could even be said to be the most strongest existence in the whole Tian continent!
But now, he had reverted back to his usual self. Eventhough the lifetime memories of his future self still exists within his minds, most of it will change inevitably from now on, and most importantly, this is the real him.
Perhaps, only the memories of learning those powerful techniques would be vastly useful for him.
Fortunately also, Duan Li hadn't mentioned about the existence of the mysterious pearl and only said so within his thoughts.
It was due to that mysterious pearl that he could dive into his future self of the original timeline, and it was also because of it that they will have the chance to change the future.
Its powers goes way beyond logical reason and comprehension.
If word were to come out that this was all possible due to the mysterious pearl, wouldn't experts with ulterior motives and greed pop out everywhere to snatch it from him?
No!
He musn't let that happen.
Eventhough he knew that without it, he could still achieve back the inconceivable feat and battle prowess with his talents alone, evidenced by his future self, with the addition of the mysterious pearl however, that could give him miracles and unique abilities, he would be able to soar even further.
