Chapter 464: During the Trial

“The trial begins…

“You can check the current situation of the trial through the inquiry method…

“The trial has begun. Please make your preparations.”

Waves of gentle female voices kept ringing in their ears. They sounded exceptionally soft, giving them a good impression.

Tang Rou felt her vision blur, and then her vision suddenly changed. The scene in front of her changed, directly changing into a different appearance. In front of her, when the change occurred, she froze on the spot.

In front of her, there were large pits. And in the pits, there were small knives placed, directly paving an actual path in front of her. This was a path made entirely of knives.

“This…”

Tang Rou was stunned by this scene. She didn’t know what to say. This test, was it so hardcore? The first step was to take out a knife?

“The first stage of the hero trial, through the Mountain of Knives.”

In her ear, the gentle girl’s voice continued to ring. At this moment, it echoed in Tang Rou’s ear: “You will pass this first trial if you clear this path within an hour.”

Do I really need to walk through the Mountain of Knives? Tang Rou was stunned. She subconsciously rubbed her eyes. Even though she knew that the so-called Hero’s Trial had to do with willpower, the trial in front of her was a little too much.

Now there’s walking through knives. What’s next, crossing through a sea of fire? This thought flashed through her mind. Then she looked at the densely packed knives in front of her and began to struggle.

She knew that these things in front of her were only one part of the test. Moreover, from the hints, she knew that the injuries that would occur during the trial would not really cause injuries to her body.

However, the pain was real. Stepping on such a sharp knife step by step looked very painful. Was there really anyone who dared to try this kind of test? She was hesitating. At this moment, she really didn’t know what to do.

While she was still hesitating, the other figure had already begun to move in front of her. The young man raised his head and looked into the distance. Then, he directly took a step and walked into the distance. Under Tang Rou’s gaze, he stepped on the knife.

A soft sound rang out. The sound of a knife tearing through a wound could be heard. In Tang Rou’s line of sight, the youth’s foot was covered with wounds. Scarlet blood was flowing out.

But towards this, the youth didn’t seem to feel anything. His expression was calm as he silently walked past. Specks of crimson blood bloomed, forming a bloodstream that dyed the area red. This scene made Tang Rou hold her breath. She didn’t even dare to continue watching.

“Doesn’t he feel pain?”

Standing in place, she looked at Chen Heng’s actions. She was a bit dumbfounded. At this moment, this thought subconsciously flashed through her mind. Then, she thought of something else.

“Could it be that this is just a test of courage? These knives only look good, but in reality, there won’t be any pain?”

This thought flashed through her mind. Then, she looked at Chen Heng, who kept moving forward. His expression was calm as if nothing had happened. In the end, she gritted her teeth and charged forward.

She stepped on it tentatively. Then, blood blossomed and dripped down. The knife stabbed into the flesh. Suddenly, she let out a scream, which was exceptionally tragic.

Reality proved that her idea was completely wrong. The trial in front of her was not just a mere appearance but a real one. The pain was genuine. It wasn’t an illusion at all. She chose to give up and decisively leave the trial without any hesitation.

“You can choose to watch other people’s trials.”

A gentle female voice sounded in her ear once again.

Then, Tang Rou’s vision changed. It was no longer the same as before. Instead, she looked directly at Chen Heng. From the side, she could clearly see the changes on Chen Heng’s body, as well as the blood flowing out of his body, as well as the blurred flesh.

In front, when Tang Rou’s figure disappeared, Chen Heng’s body paused as if surprised by this. But he quickly returned to normal and continued walking. He walked all the way. He had already covered the entire track in just a short moment, completing the first trial.

And at this time, his feet were already severely mutilated. He could even see the bones and other flesh and blood. At a glance, the scene was truly terrifying. Looking at this scene, Tang Rou sighed to herself. She felt an inexplicable sense of admiration.

He was a ruthless person. Just like before, after walking through this knife path, he actually didn’t make a sound during the entire process, as if nothing had happened. This kind of strong spirit and willpower was really admirable and impressive.

At least she thought that she absolutely couldn’t do it. It was no wonder that he could become a Beastmaster at such a young age. She sighed in her heart, and then she continued to look forward, observing Chen Heng’s next performance.

At this time, Chen Heng’s body had also undergone new changes. After he crossed the path of the blade, his body returned to its original state. The initially bloody wound had already healed. His originally pale face had also recovered. He looked as if nothing had happened. Feeling the situation on his body, Chen Heng fell into deep thought.

“My body has been reset.”

He now had a better understanding of his current situation. Chen Heng realized that something was not right after he entered the place, even before Tang Rou quit.

His body wasn’t his original body. It was a completely new body that had been simulated. The power of this body was far inferior to his original body. It was only at the level of an ordinary person. Even the pain and touch sensations were the same. They were all according to the standards of an ordinary person. In fact, they were even more sensitive. These should be the adjustments made in the ruin.

Thinking about it, it made sense. Although the test in front of them looked scary, it was nothing to some powerful people. For some powerful people with strong bodies, those ordinary knives probably couldn’t even break through their defenses. As for those who were stronger, their ability to accept pain was clearly stronger than those who were weaker.

If they were really allowed to enter the trial, it would eventually become a test of a person’s strength and not their will. Then what was the need for the trial? Clearly, the creator of this ruin had also considered this point. Hence, he had specially set up some things.

All ruin challengers would use a wholly simulated body instead of their original body. The spirit, strength, and physical quality of the body could not be brought over. The only thing they could rely on was their own will. This could avoid the interference of other factors to the greatest extent. It was completely a test of a person’s will.

From the situation just now, it was obvious that this was a very successful attempt. This thought flashed through Chen Heng’s mind. Then, he continued to move forward. After taking a step forward, the scene changed once again.

A sky full of fire appeared in front of him. The surroundings looked like a world of flames, filled with the power of flames. At a glance, it was a sea of red.

“After crossing the Mountain of Blades, the next is a Sea of Fire?”

Chen Heng smiled as he stood on the spot and felt the burning sensation around him. At this moment, a feeling of pain had already emerged from his body. Looking closely, Chen Heng realized that the clothes on his body had already been set on fire.

At this moment, his entire body was emitting flames, as if he was a large burning person. His entire body looked exceptionally unique. The burning sensation caused by the flames was constantly emerging, appearing evident.

Chen Heng felt this feeling, and then he continued to walk forward. He walked forward step by step, following the path in the middle, without any pause from the beginning to the end. It was as if the raging flames on his body would not bring him any pain. When he reached the main point and took a step forward, the scene around him suddenly changed again.

The burning flames on his body completely disappeared, and he returned to his original state. Even his clothes were completely restored as if he had never been burned by fire before.

However, after this step, the next trial came.

This time, Chen Heng was in a huge pit. In front of him was an iron door, which was now open. Through the iron door, Chen Heng could easily see the scenery there. It was a quiet room. However, there was a reminder written on the iron door: “You will fail if you step through the iron door.”

The huge reminder was hanging there, and it was exceptionally clear. Chen Heng stood where he was and looked at the reminder. He frowned, then subconsciously turned around and looked around.

At that moment, strange sounds could be heard from all directions. Then, black bugs slowly emerged from every corner. These black bugs were tiny, like ants. However, they could kill a bunch of people with a single step.

At that moment, these black bugs were everywhere. They gathered together and became torrent. At a glance, it was truly terrifying.

“This is too disgusting…”

In spectator mode, Tang Rou looked at this scene, and her face turned pale: “And this rule, it’s too…”

She looked at the rules. In spectator mode, she could clearly see the hidden rules of this trial. This trial was also a test of a person’s will and determination. Being in the trial was just like the hint of the iron door. The trial would be a failure as long as one entered the room.

If one did not enter the room, they would be bitten by snakes and insects in the pit, eating away at their flesh inch by inch until only their bones were left. However, in reality, there was no need to enter the iron door. As long as one had the thought of giving up and hesitating for a moment, they would be directly eliminated by this ruin.

What a disgusting rule.

“Is there really anyone who can pass this trial?”

At this moment, Tang Rou couldn’t help but think of this. She felt fortunate that she had given up on trial as soon as possible. Then, under her gaze, Chen Heng began to change in front of her.

In that pit, he quietly closed his eyes as if he had given up on resisting. Then, the swarm of insects slowly climbed onto his body and began to devour him. Drops of blood dripped onto the ground. Soon after, a large group of insects flew over and devoured the drops of blood, not leaving a single drop of waste.

Soon, Chen Heng’s leg completely disappeared, turning into a white bone. Tang Rou’s scalp went numb. She didn’t dare imagine the pain. She didn’t even dare to continue watching.

However, in her line of sight, Chen Heng’s figure never changed. One of his legs disappeared, and he fell to the ground. His entire body was eaten by bugs. Countless black bugs crawled in from every corner, from his ears, eyes, and lips. The entire process was extremely disgusting.

But even so, his expression never changed. He looked like a statue, extremely natural. It was as if to strengthen the challenger’s feeling, and the entire process was extremely long.

After a full half an hour, Chen Heng’s body completely turned into a skeleton and disappeared. At this point, Tang Rou already knew that Chen Heng had once again passed the checkpoint. But at this moment, her emotions were extremely complicated.

“This person, is he a monster?”

Her expression was a bit complicated. At this moment, this thought appeared in her mind. No wonder she thought this way. Was it possible for a normal person in such a situation to persevere and not give up, nor have the slightest bit of regret or hesitation? Was he really a person?

This thought could not help but flash through her mind. At this moment, she did not know what to say. However, the facts were already laid out there, and she could not help but doubt. Then, she continued to look forward.

At this moment, the scene in front of her had already changed. The white bones and the bugs that filled the sky had disappeared, replaced by another scene.

Chen Heng’s figure appeared once again, standing in the middle. Clearly, it was another brand-new checkpoint. This time, he held a short sword in his hand. And in front of him, a tall and sturdy barbarian warrior appeared, roaring at him as he charged.

This checkpoint tested the heart of a hero. According to the standards of the ancient civilization, a true hero not only had an unyielding will but also needed the heart of a hero who dared to wave his sword at anyone.

Therefore, the test of this stage was the courage of the challenger to defeat the enemy. In an instant, the barbarian warrior had already fallen and was killed by Chen Heng at the cost of one arm.

In the blink of an eye, a new enemy appeared.. A fierce tiger pounced on him.
