11 Final Tes (2/2)
”What kind of monster are you?!” The old man shouted, frowning.
”The kind you don't wish to offend or you will cease to exist.” I retorted.
Lu Xin's body was shivering, what kind of monster has she provoked, someone who could go against the Ancient Ruins test master!!! If she were to be given a second chance, not only would she have never provoked this guy, she would even have invited him to her country to marry him! Sadly, there is no medicine for regret in this world.
”I command you to stop!” The old man yelled.
Due to his strong voice projection, many youths fell to the floor with their ears bleeding.
'He was distracting me, not good! They are together!' I summoned my Scythe with a thought and threw it as hard as I could towards Lu Xin. The speed at which my Scythe was flying was incredibly fast. I never tried it before, but it seems my Weapon Throwing skill functions with my Scythe's second form, providing it with a huge throwing speed bonus. Yet it wasn't enough, the old Man was faster. He possessed Lu Xin's body and avoided my Scythe using a movement Core Art. The Scythe crashed against the wall with a loud sound. The walls remained unscathed but the whole room still trembled; the power from the impact was something a Core Foundation cultivator would have trouble defending. The possessed Lu Xin didn't wait for me to reach her and executed a deadly Core Art. A huge ball of flames engulfed the remaining youths. They couldn't even defend themselves, the art was just too powerful. They were turned into ashes. Lu Xin's face paled, executing a Core Art was not something that came without a price.
”We will meet again.” An aged voice sounded from her mouth.
I was already on the move running to the pale Lu Xin when I saw her touching the red wall behind her.
”I accept the test!” This time, it was Lu Xin's voice that sounded.
A red light covered Lu Xin body and disappeared. In her place, only the old Man's soul remained.
”Damn it! You fucking old Man! Why did you help her? How are you related to her, she didn't recognize you at all.” I shouted with rage, charging towards this old Man's remnant soul.
”She doesn't need to recognize me for me to help her. She is my sister's granddaughter. I recognized her the moment she entered the room, she looks exactly like her when she was young. Unfortunately, this room is a test without explained rules. People must figure things out...” The old Man souls was slowly disappearing.
”Nascent soul cultivators that die inside the Ancient Ruins get their soul sealed and become part of the tests. To maintain order, help, supervise or other kinds of functions. Long ago, I died and became the supervisor of this test in order to give some small pointers so people could complete this test. This test only allows six people to survive and pass the test. It's a room for a massacre, for despair! When six people are left, they can accept the true final test by touching a wall. Each wall will lead to a test based on the colour of the wall. Possessing Lu Xin was a way of helping the Ancient Ruins allowed me to do. Unfortunately, using my own power to kill was not something that the Ancient Ruins can tolerate. You should calm your anger down. My soul is already dissipating, I will soon cease to exist. Lu Xin is not a bad girl, she is just young and bad-tempered. The Central Country is not a good place for young people to grow. Please forgive her.”
I had wanted to kill the soul myself to earn a good amount of experience, but the talk filled with information regarding the Ancient Ruins stopped me. By the time I processed the information, the Old man's soul had already dissipated. 'What a pity, I could have earned lots of EXP by killing him.'
