Chapter 1249 - Tremors of Chaos (1/2)
This is… the dragon soul power…
Erin gazed at her palm. The strong power baffled her. If it were said that in the past, Erin didn’t understand how the moon felt like hanging in the night sky, she completely experienced it right now. She felt like she was floating above the ocean and was bundled by warm darkness, sensing an incredible feeling of comfort and blissfulness. It was as though she should have been here all along.
This was where she should be.
But it hadn’t ended yet.
Erin folded the wings on her back and sauntered forward. She sensed that her power wasn’t fully unleashed. And now, she merely established a connection with the dragon soul power. This was the start of the trial recognizing her strength. But it hadn’t ended yet because she realized that the trial was still ongoing. But this time, she was confident. After all, she was a smart young lady. The three tests in a row helped her gather her thoughts. Shortly after, she found out the connection between them, which gave her the confidence to take on the next trial.
“Seems like Erin has already understood. Not too bad.”
Witnessing Erin’s expression returning to normal, Rhode heaved a sigh of relief. After the series of torments, Rhode, who was also a dragon soul heir, figured that the true meaning behind the trials wasn’t as absurd as he had imagined, but it was designed entirely for dragon soul heirs instead. As a matter of fact, it was really simple to understand. It was just like when a company was hiring a CEO, the company would require the candidates to consider issues from the company’s perspective, instead of occupying the seat of the CEO and worrying about smaller matters like human resources and hygiene problems. Judging from this point, the trials couldn’t be considered to be messing with her. But what was ludicrous was that the trials only gave the topic, but didn’t explain the details. As a result, Erin entered the college examination hall, sat on her seat, only to realize that apart from a huge line of ‘Dragon Soul Continent’s 1st Liberal Arts Examination Questions’, there weren’t any other words at all… How hilarious.
It was also like a group of people applying for a job posting on the Internet. But in the end, only one person entered the office, picked up the trash, threw the trash into the dustbin, and was hired instantly… It sounded like chicken soup for the soul, but wasn’t that simply messing around with others?
Alright then, the next trial is…
Rumble…
While Rhode and the rest focused their attention on the scenery on the magical crystal, when all of a sudden, a deep rumble echoed from underneath their feet and shook the ground. Everyone was stunned. But after a few moments, the tremors stopped and everything returned to normal. The group exchanged looks with one another curiously. Then, Mini Bubble Gum knitted her brows, shrugged, and remarked: “How unlucky for us to experience an earthquake here. Fortunately, it wasn’t too strong, else we would have been buried alive.”
“What’s the difference between being buried alive and our situation now?”
Icy Snow curled her lips and glared at Mini Bubble Gum.
“Don’t forget you were the one who blasted down our only exit.”
“Oh? I admit that was me, but you didn’t forget it was Leader’s order, right, Little Icy?”
“Of course, I know it was Big Brother’s command. I doubt you even remember that.”
Rhode was unsurprised by their bickering anymore, which was why he didn’t stop them. However, gazing at the magical crystal, he felt somewhat strange. For some unknown reason, he felt like the earthquake was abnormal because this land was under the Dark Dragon’s soul protection. Logically speaking, even if there were an earthquake, it shouldn’t have been able to cause any damage or disruption to the dragon soul protection. But now…
What’s happening?
Erin stood firmly on her feet and scanned her surroundings curiously. The violent earthquake startled her. Erin, who was already tormented by the innumerable succession of tests became overly sensitive as a result, thought that this was the beginning of a new trial. But she didn’t expect the earthquake to last for less than half a minute. This left her in astonishment. For some unknown reason, the earthquake was clearly over, but she felt her heart pounding as though something terrible was happening.
No matter what, I must pass the trials as quickly as possible.
Erin arranged her thoughts that were all over the place. She extended her arm and pushed the door open. Shortly after, an enormous maze constructed from black, towering walls presented itself before her eyes. The sturdy, pitch-black walls flickered in unusual magical lights, while lines of indistinct, ancient texts were seen. Looking at this scene, Erin twitched her brow.
