"The trial has begun …"
"You can check the current situation of the trial by inquiring …"
"The trial has begun, please make your preparations."
In his ears, the gentle voice of a woman rang out continuously. It sounded especially gentle, and people could not help but have a good impression of it.
Tang Rou felt her vision blur as her vision changed. The scene in front of her changed into something else.
In front of her, when the change occurred, she was stunned on the spot.
This was because there were large holes in front of her.
In the pit, there were many small sharp knives, directly laying out a real path in front of them.
This was a path made up of knives.
"This … this …"
Looking at this scene, Tang Rou was completely dumbfounded and did not know what to say.
Was this trial so hardcore?
She had to take out knives right away?
"The first stage of the Hero Trial, Mountain of Knives."
The gentle female voice continued to ring in Tang Rou's ears: "Walk this path in front of you within an hour and you'll pass."
Was she really going to walk through the mountain of knives?
Tang Rou was completely dumbfounded and even rubbed her eyes.
She had long since known that the Hero Trial had something to do with willpower.
However, this trial was a bit too much.
It would have been fine if she had just walked through knives.
Was there a sea of flames down there?
She could not help but think to herself as she looked at the countless knives in front of her and started to feel conflicted.
She knew that these things were only part of the trial, and from the hints, she knew that the injuries she received during the trial would not cause any damage to her body.
However, the pain was real.
Stepping on the sharp knives step by step, it looked very painful.
Did anyone really dare to try this sort of trial?
She hesitated and did not know what to do.
However, while she was hesitating, the others did not.
While she was still hesitating, the other figure in front of her had already begun to move.
The young man raised his head and gazed into the distance. Then, he strode off into the distance.
Under Tang Rou's gaze, he stepped down, directly onto the knife.
A light sound rang out.
The sound of a knife tearing a wound could be heard.
In Tang Rou's line of sight, there were quite a few wounds on the young man's feet. Crimson blood was blossoming and flowing out.
However, the young man acted as if he didn't feel anything. His face was calm as he silently walked past.
Drops of crimson blood blossomed, forming a stream of blood that dyed the entire place red.
This scene caused Tang Rou to hold her breath. She didn't even dare to continue watching.
"Doesn't he feel pain?"
Standing there, looking at Chen Heng's actions, she felt quite dumbfounded, and a thought flashed in her mind.
Then, she thought of something else.
"Could it be that the test here is only courage, and these knives only look nice, but in reality, they don't cause any pain?"
As she thought to herself, she looked at Chen Heng calmly walking forwards as if nothing had happened. In the end, she gritted her teeth and rushed over.
She tentatively stepped on it.
Then, a flower of blood bloomed, and drops of blood flowed down.
The knife pierced into her flesh. Immediately, she let out a cry of alarm. Her cry was especially tragic.
It turned out that her thoughts were completely wrong.
The trial in this place was not just for show. It was the real deal.
That kind of pain was incredibly real and not an illusion.
She did not hesitate and chose to give up, decisively leaving the trial.
"You can choose to spectate other people's trials."
In his ears, the gentle female voice sounded again, reminding him.
Following this, Tang Rou's field of view changed, and she looked at Chen Heng's body.
Under the spectator mode, she could clearly see the changes on Chen Heng's body, the crimson blood that continuously flowed out, as well as his mangled flesh.
Ahead, when Tang Rou's figure disappeared, Chen Heng's body paused, seeming to be quite surprised. However, he quickly returned to normal and continued onwards.
As he walked, it only took him a moment to cross this part of the journey, and he had completely walked past it.
By this time, his feet were already a bloody mess.
It was even possible to see his bones, flesh, tendons, and bones.
At first glance, the scene was truly horrifying.
Looking at this scene, Tang Rou inwardly sighed and felt a sense of admiration.
This was a ferocious person.
Just like just now, when he walked through this section of the knife path, he didn't make a sound throughout the entire process, as if nothing had happened.
This kind of powerful spirit and willpower was truly admirable.
At the very least, she knew that she would not be able to do this.
No wonder he could become a beast tamer at such a young age.
She inwardly sighed as she thought to herself. She continued to watch Chen Heng's performance.
By now, Chen Heng's body had gone through some changes.
After he passed that part of the trial, his body returned to how it was before.
His gory wounds had healed, and his pale face had returned to normal. He looked like nothing had happened.
Sensing his body's situation, Chen Heng thought to himself.
"My body has been reset."
This thought flashed through his mind, and he had a better understanding of his current situation.
Perhaps this had not happened to Tang Rou before, but after entering this place, Chen Heng had felt that something was off.
His body was not his original body, but a completely new body that had been simulated.
This body's power was far inferior to his original body, and it was only at the level of an ordinary person.
Even the sense of pain and touch were the same. They were all according to the standards of ordinary people, and were even more sensitive.
These were most likely the adjustments that had been made to this historical remnant.
Thinking about it, it made sense.
Even though the test before them looked frightening, it wasn't a big deal for some of the stronger people.
For those who were powerful and had tough bodies, ordinary knives would not even be able to break through their defenses, let alone anything else.
As for those who were more powerful, their ability to withstand pain was much greater than those who were weaker.
If they were allowed to enter the assessment directly, it would become a test of a person's strength and not their willpower.
What was the point of testing?
Obviously, the original creator of the ruins had also considered this point, so he had specially set up some things.
Anyone who entered the relic trial would not use their original body, but a body that was completely simulated.
He couldn't bring his spirit, strength, or even his physique with him. The only thing he could rely on was his own willpower.
This would avoid the interference of other factors to the greatest extent and only test one person's willpower.
From what had happened just then, it seemed that this had been very successful.
Chen Heng thought to himself as he continued onwards and took a step forward.
After taking this step, the scenery once again changed.
A sky full of flames appeared in front of him, and his surroundings seemed to be a world of flames, filled with flame power.
At a glance, it was completely crimson.
"After passing through the mountain of blades, is there a sea of flames?"
Standing there and sensing the intense heat around him, Chen Heng smiled.
At that moment, a feeling of pain spread throughout his body.
Looking closely, Chen Heng found that his clothes had been set ablaze.
Right now, his entire body was on fire, and he looked like a person made of fire.
He looked quite unique.
The burning sensation brought about by the flames continued to surface, appearing exceptionally clear.
Sensing this feeling, Chen Heng continued to walk forwards.
He walked forward step by step, following the path in the center. From beginning to end, he did not stop at all.
It was as if the flames on his body did not give him any sense of pain.
When he reached the main point and took a step forward, the scenery around him changed again.
The raging flames on his body completely disappeared, and he returned to his original state. Even his clothes were completely restored. It was as if he had never been burned in the first place.
However, after passing this trial, the next one came.
This time, Chen Heng was in a massive crater.
In front of him was an iron door, which was wide open.
Through the iron door, Chen Heng could easily see the scenery inside. It was a peaceful room.
However, on the iron door, there was a system announcement: "Passing through the iron door means failure."
The huge notification hanging there was exceptionally clear.
Standing there and looking at this system announcement, Chen Heng frowned before instinctively looking around.
At this moment, a series of strange noises rang out from all directions.
Following this, black insects slowly appeared in various corners.
These black insects were very small, as small as ants, and they could be stomped to death with a single stomp.
But at this moment, these black insects were everywhere. They gathered together and turned into a torrent.
At a glance, it was quite shocking and 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 by the side.
While in spectator mode, she could clearly see the hidden rules of this trial.
This trial was also a test of one's willpower and determination.
Since he was in the middle of the trial, it was just like what the metal door had said. As long as he stepped into the room, he would fail the trial.
If one did not enter the room, they would be bitten by snakes and insects in the crater, slowly devouring their flesh and blood until only their bones remained.
However, in actuality, one did not even need to enter the iron door. Just a moment of hesitation would cause one to be directly eliminated by this historical remnant.
What disgusting rules.
"Are there really people who can pass this trial?"
Tang Rou could not help but think to herself. She felt incredibly glad that she had given up on the trial early.
Following this, as she watched on, Chen Heng started to change.
Within the crater, he silently closed his eyes, as if he had given up on resisting.
Following this, the swarms of insects crawled onto his body and started to devour him.
Drops of blood flowed and dripped onto the ground. Soon after, a large number of insects would fly over and devour the blood, not leaving a single drop to waste.
Soon, one of Chen Heng's legs had completely disappeared, turning into white bones.
Seeing this, Tang Rou felt her scalp go numb. She did not dare to imagine the pain, and she did not dare to continue watching.
It was just that Chen Heng's figure had not changed from the beginning to the end.
One of his legs had disappeared, and he had fallen to the ground, his entire body being devoured by insects.
Countless black bugs burrowed in from every corner, from the ears, from the eye sockets, and from the lips.
The entire process was incredibly disgusting.
However, despite this, his expression did not change, and he looked like a statue.
It was as if to make the trial taker feel better, the devouring process was incredibly long.
Only after half an hour did Chen Heng's body turn into a pile of white bones.
He had disappeared.
By now, Tang Rou knew that Chen Heng had once again passed the trial.
It was just that her emotions were incredibly complicated.
"Is this person a monster?"
Her expression was complicated as she thought to herself.
It was no wonder that she would think this way.
A normal person could actually persevere in such a situation and never give up from the beginning to the end. He didn't even have the slightest thought of regret or hesitation?
Was he really human?
She could not help but wonder, and she did not know what to say.
However, the truth was right before her, and she could not help but wonder.
Following this, she continued to look ahead.
At that moment, the scene in front of her had changed.
The white bones and insects had disappeared, and they were replaced by another scene.
Chen Heng's figure once again appeared, standing there.
Obviously, this was a brand new checkpoint.
This time, he held a short sword in his hand.
Ahead, a tall and well-built barbarian warrior appeared, roaring as he charged at him.
This trial was a test of a courageous person's heart.
According to ancient civilizations, a true hero not only had an indomitable will, but they also had a courageous heart that dared to swing their swords at anyone.
As such, this trial was a test of the trial taker's courage to defeat their enemies.
In that instant, the barbarian warrior fell to the ground, having been killed by Chen Heng at the cost of an arm.
In the blink of an eye, a new enemy appeared.
A ferocious tiger leapt at him.
