Chapter 318 Trial 1
These "Fire Wolves" are three times larger than ordinary wolves, with bulging muscles and molten liquid flowing from their claws. With each stomp of the ground, the surrounding temperature soars.
"There's going to be a fight!"
Lin Ye muttered under his breath, a cold, battle-ready smirk playing on his lips. He raised his hand, and his spear erupted with light, tearing through the air like a thunder dragon. Without the slightest hesitation, he charged forward, spear in hand.
……
At the same time, Mo Ming's vision gradually cleared, and he found himself in a hazy, gray world, shrouded in a thick, bluish-gray mist, with his vision limited to only a few dozen meters wide. The ground beneath his feet was cold, hard, and black, and apart from his own breathing, there was absolutely no other sound; the silence sent a chill down his spine.
Compared to Lin Ye's scene, this gray fog world was clearly more oppressive and eerie. Mo Ming glanced around, and several faint runes appeared in the fog, like some kind of ancient seal. He vaguely understood that this place was closely related to the true danger of the core trial.
As expected, the deep voice soon sounded again: "Core Trial, First Stage: Will Transference."
The air froze instantly, and the surrounding bluish-gray mist surged violently, transforming into sharp cutting blades that enveloped Mo Ming. He was immediately enveloped by an invisible pressure, as if countless giant mountains had suddenly pressed down on his soul. The biting cold, coupled with a violent mental shock, almost made him kneel on the ground.
"Exile of wills?"
Mo Ming gritted his teeth, his spiritual energy surging within him as he struggled to support his body. Although he didn't fully understand what this so-called "will transfer" specifically meant, it was clear that he needed to withstand this terrifying wave of willpower impact!
"Kneel down..." It was as if a whisper came from the depths of heaven and earth. The voice was extremely sinister and seductive, piercing Mo Ming's heart.
At that moment, the surrounding pressure intensified once more. Cold sweat beaded on Mo Ming's forehead, and his legs began to weaken. Yet, he gritted his teeth, his gaze icy, fixed on a faint ray of light floating not far ahead.
The light was very faint, yet it drew Mo Ming in like a lighthouse, making him feel that he could not fall down and could not give up.
"Mere oppression? I'd like to see just how far it can go."
Mo Ming sneered, took a deep breath, and his spiritual power surged forth. At the same time, his hand unconsciously rested on the hilt of the Demon-Suppressing Sword, and the blade trembled slightly, as if responding to his will.
In the mist, the ever-increasing pressure seemed to shrink the entire space into a thin sheet of paper, yet Mo Ming's steps remained firm and unwavering as he moved forward. His body was almost bent into a bow shape by this oppressive force, and his breathing became extremely heavy, but his eyes flashed with an indomitable sharpness.
"Originally, all I wanted in my life was to live a peaceful life in a secluded corner, but I was bullied. However, fate did not abandon me and I was transported to the Misty World. Since God has given me a second chance, what reason do I have not to give it my all?"
Mo Ming gripped the Demon-Suppressing Sword tightly and hissed, "This test isn't enough to make me kneel! Come on, try again!"
With his angry shout, the spiritual power around him suddenly surged, colliding abruptly with the pressure from the core trial space, and actually blasting a clear crack open in the mist.
The deep voice echoed again, seemingly carrying a hint of satisfaction: "With unwavering will and surging spiritual energy, the trial participant has been guided to the next stage."
The surrounding mist rapidly dissipated around Mo Ming, while the faint light suddenly expanded as the mist cleared, transforming into a gigantic, floating phantom cauldron. At the edge of this space, the second stage of the core trial, filled with unknowns and challenges, awaited him.
……
The flames burned out, and the lava churned.
Lin Ye's spear streaked across the battlefield like a meteor. With his swift movements, he constantly weaved through the "Fire Wolves" and the scorching flames. Each swing of his spear brought forth a thunderous roar, creating a striking collision with the burning air.
His figure was like a snake moving through the fire domain. He was not suppressed by the fire wolf's majesty, but instead each strike was even more fierce.
However, these "Fire Wolves" were clearly no ordinary enemies. Not only were they enormous, but their strength and speed far exceeded expectations. Their cold eyes gleamed with ferocity as they constantly analyzed Lin Ye's attack trajectory.
Each fire wolf seemed to draw power from this scorching world; even when its wounds were cleaved open by spears and molten fluid dripped down, they would soon heal themselves completely.
Lin Ye's spiritual energy surged, and his spear suddenly trembled, unleashing a terrifying spear force as it thrust towards the oncoming fire wolf's head. This strike was extremely fast; the spear tip even tore through the air, creating a piercing explosion.
However, as if it possessed a spirit, the fire wolf dodged to the side at the last moment, and its tail retaliated like a fiery whip, scorching the ground black.
"Interesting!" Lin Ye narrowed his eyes, completely unafraid of this astonishing combat power. He twisted his arms forcefully, and his spear swung rapidly, stabbing at the fire wolf again with an unpredictable trajectory.
His movements were no longer simply about strength and speed, but rather a martial art akin to art. Every shot he fired was incredibly precise, forcing Fire Wolf to retreat steadily, even causing his steps to become chaotic.
Lin Ye knew that if the stalemate continued, he would eventually exhaust his spiritual power as the temperature of the flame domain rose. So he stopped probing and suddenly burst forth, transforming into a streak of light that aimed straight for the fire wolf's heart.
"boom!"
With a deafening roar, the fire wolf let out a mournful howl before collapsing to the ground. Lin Ye stood beside its massive corpse, his gaze sweeping across the surroundings. Despite having just defeated one fire wolf, the remaining wolves showed no sign of diminishing their fighting spirit; on the contrary, they became even more ferocious, charging forward with bared fangs and claws.
He gave a cold laugh and muttered, "Come on! Who's afraid of who!"
The next second, Lin Ye felt the spiritual energy surging in the air suddenly rise, and the wolf pack began to roar in unison, spewing out a fused torrent of flames that instantly transformed into an overwhelming barrier of fire that pressed down hard on Lin Ye.
"That's quite troublesome."
Lin Ye remained calm, thrusting his spear into the ground with a backhand motion, channeling his spiritual energy. A strange lightning pattern appeared on his forehead, arcs of electricity crackled around him, and thunder rumbled faintly. He looked up at the torrent of flames that could engulf everything, then suddenly leaped into the air, his spear leaving a trail of dazzling lightning in its wake.
"Lightning Annihilation, Break!"
With a loud shout, thunder erupted! That spear seemed to cleave the heavens and earth, carrying incomparably violent lightning energy, directly tearing apart the torrent of flames and splitting it in two!
Amidst the exploding lightning, Lin Ye's figure descended like a god, easily leaping over the waves of fire dance and landing on the head of another fire wolf.
A single, decisive blow!
The second fire wolf collapsed to the ground with a thud.
