"So, this is the test?"
Yuan Linglu was surprised. She finally understood why she had to walk past ten dragon bones to pass the test. That mountain-like pressure and the seemingly illusory evil figures were terrifying and oppressive. It was hard for her to move forward. She even wanted to turn around and run away.
But …
Did he think he could defeat her with that?
Her eyes quickly turned cold, and a strong killing intent erupted from her body. She shouldered the countless evil figures and the pressure on her body. Killing intent boiled in her heart. She quickly took a few steps forward, and an extraordinary aura erupted from her slender body. It was extremely ferocious.
In an instant, she had reached the fifth dragon bone!
She was halfway through the test!
In this place, the pressure increased exponentially, and in front of the dragon bone that stretched across the starry sky in front of her, countless evil figures seemed to have materialized. She could already clearly see their bodies as they pounced towards her with bared fangs and brandished claws. Beside her ears, there was also some kind of ancient and mysterious whisper. She couldn't hear what it was saying, but it gave her a hair-raising feeling.
The killing intent in Yuan Linglu's eyes grew stronger. She was about to move on when she suddenly thought of something. She looked to the side.
To the left.
No one.
To the right.
No one either.
Yuan Linglu was stunned.
Where was the guy who was taking the test with her?
Right then, she saw a figure. She looked to the left and was stunned.
He saw that the young man had already reached the seventh dragon bone and was walking towards the eighth dragon bone at a leisurely pace.
He was ahead of her!
Yuan Linglu turned pale. She didn't have time to hide anymore. She unleashed a surge of energy and dashed forward.
Hoy!
Hoy!
She strode forward. Against the countless shadows and the pressure, she soon reached the eighth dragon bone and caught up with Su Ping.
She was breathing heavily. She didn't have the time to look at the girl next to her. She had to reach the tenth dragon bone first!
Roar!
Right then, the countless shadows in front of her turned into dragons and roared at her. The air was filled with the smell of blood, which was suffocating.
The dragon's roars made her scalp tingle. Those were dragon's roars that could intimidate. It was as if over a dozen titled dragon beasts were roaring at her at the same time.
Any beast below the titled rank would have been paralyzed by fear.
That being said, Yuan Linglu was very familiar with dragons since she was little. She had spent a lot of time playing with her grandpa's dragon.
She was no stranger to this dragon roar.
She braced herself against the heavy pressure on her shoulders and continued forward.
He walked to the ninth dragon bone.
The evil dragons' auras became increasingly ferocious as they let out sharp dragon roars.
At the same time, a strange hand pulled her body from behind. The cold touch was incomparably smooth, causing her hair to stand on end.
She didn't know if it was an illusion or a real monster.
But she knew that she couldn't stop!
Kill!!
She suddenly drew her sword, and her sword aura was like a rainbow, cutting off all the tentacles on her body. Then, she roared and charged toward the evil dragon in front of her, killing as she advanced!
Soon, she arrived at the tenth dragon bone.
When she reached this point, she breathed a sigh of relief. When she turned around, she saw that the young man had also reached the tenth dragon bone.
A hint of surprise flashed through her eyes, but she quickly withdrew her thoughts. Since the other party could also reach the tenth dragon bone, then she would go even further!
The eleventh dragon bone!
That heavy pressure was like a giant hand pressing down on her back. She exerted all her astral powers, but still, she felt as if there were several sandbags on her shoulders. She could barely lift her shoulders.
She made up her mind and summoned her battle pets.
But she received no response. It seemed that the summoning space had been sealed.
Yuan Linglu's face turned pale. Then, she realized that the test was targeted at her. It was most likely that the dragon's soul had set up a seal to prevent her from using her battle pets.
If that was the case …
Then, she would have to make it on her own!
She unleashed her sword aura and dashed toward the evil dragon in front of her.
While the pressure was strong and she was slightly out of shape, she was still able to move gracefully. If it weren't for that pressure, she would have been able to move faster than the average eighth-rank battle pet warriors.
The strength of her physical body was far stronger than her cultivation realm!
Twelve dragon bones, thirteen dragon bones …
Fifteen dragon bones!
Pff!
Yuan Linglu's knees gave out. That overwhelming pressure made her feel as if she were in a deep ocean. She was unable to breathe and her lungs were about to explode.
She stabbed her sword into the ground and breathed heavily. At the moment, the darkness was like a viscous liquid that was pulling her down, making it difficult for her to move.
She was tired.
She felt drained.
This … should be enough, right?
Yuan Linglu looked over her shoulder.
When she looked, her pupils shrank again. There was no one behind her!
She hurried to look ahead. She saw a man in despair. That man was on the eighteenth dragon bone, two dragon bones away from her!
How … was that possible?
Yuan Linglu felt she was going to collapse.
Not to mention the phantoms of the evil dragons, just the actual oppressive force alone was more than fifty thousand kilograms. She felt that she had already reached her limit. How could that person go any further?
Could it be that his physical strength was stronger than hers?!
Yuan Linglu bit her teeth. She stood up, trembling, and braced herself to move on.
Sixteen dragon bones … seventeen dragon bones.
Her body swayed and she fell to the ground. The last bit of stubbornness in her eyes also dimmed.
She had reached her limit.
She collapsed on the dragon bones. She looked ahead. That man was still moving forward, neither too fast nor too slow. He was on the twenty-second dragon bone.
"…"
Silence.
Yuan Linglu knew that she had failed this test.
She had lost completely.
This disparity made it so that she didn't even have any thoughts of catching up. There was a gap of five dragon bones, and the pressure increased exponentially. It was enough to make her collapse.
Her mind and body had reached their limits!
…
"What? She's not following me? "
Su Ping turned around, only to see that the girl was sitting on the dragon bone. She seemed to have given up and was taking a rest.
It seemed that she was trying to recover her strength so that she could compete in the next test.
Su Ping raised his eyebrows. He looked at the dragon bones that were still far away. There were over a thousand of them.
"I wonder how far I can go with my limit."
Su Ping was curious and he had the urge to test himself. After all, the Little Skeleton would be there for the strength test. If he couldn't do it, he would save some strength for himself.
He moved on.
Su Ping stepped forward.
Twenty-three, twenty-four, twenty-five …
As he moved on, countless dragons were roaring. Some of them came from outside the dragon bones, as if they had crawled out from the dark universe.
Behind him, there was a hoarse voice calling out to him. It was close to his neck, making his hair stand on end.
"That's it?"
Su Ping's mind was as calm as ever.
When he reached the thirtieth dragon bone, Su Ping saw a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood. Many undead souls stood up. There were also some twisted and weird figures. It was a horrifying sight.
Su Ping tilted his head and enjoyed the view for a while. Then, he moved on.
He felt that the pressure on him was getting stronger and stronger. However, the illusions around him didn't make him think too much. After all, he had seen scarier things.
The Chaotic Realm of the Undead was a world of undead souls. No matter how creepy or scary things were, they were normal there. That world was a lifeless, gray, twisted world.
Compared to that world, these illusions were "not creative".
What made Su Ping slow down was that the pressure on him was getting heavier and heavier.
Su Ping didn't know if the pressure was real, or if it was just an illusion.
After all, the dragon soul said that the test was about one's will.
Since it was about one's will, it shouldn't have much to do with one's physical strength.
And the pressure he felt was very likely to be his hallucination. It was just like when a person's finger was burned by a flame, assuming that the flame had no temperature, the human brain's common sense reaction would be to think that it was burned and instinctively retract the hand.
The dragon soul's test wasn't just about illusions. It was enough to change the cognition of the brain.
To put it simply, the surroundings were illusions. However, when the pressure reached a certain level, one would feel pain from the illusions and believe that they were real.
Moreover, when facing this kind of pressure, one couldn't just ignore it and decide that it was all an illusion.
Because of the "penetration" of the illusions, one would think that they were real.
Su Ping could feel the pulling force of the evil shadows behind him. However, the pulling force wasn't strong. He could break free easily. However, it wasn't because his physical strength was strong. It was because his willpower was stronger!
The stronger one's willpower was, the weaker the penetration of the pressure and the weaker the influence of the illusions.
