C25 In the End What Is Gone will Not Come Back!
Unsheathed, broken swords piercing through the lifeless corpses of the once living beings. Broken flags burnt in the midst of flames, indicating the misfortune of the battle, while the shattered white bones covered in blood stuck out of the bloody mess of a massacre.
Su Ba's gaze remained calm as he stood quietly in the center of the bloody scene, anticipating what would happen in the next moment.
Suddenly...
The sound of war drums shocked past his ears.
Soon after, countless cavalrymen riding on their stallions rushed onto the battlefield. Staring at Su Ba with eyes filled with killing intent and bloodthirsty, they signaled their warhorses with a hard pat as they broke into a ferocious gallop towards Su Ba.
"Kill!"
One of the cavalrymen opened his mouth to shout as his killing intent soared to the heavens!
This bloodthirsty aura — condensed from thousands of troops and horses — carried an incomparable and terrifying might that would scare an ordinary person to death if they witnessed it first-hand.
"An insignificant illusion."
If Su Ba had not gotten used to the illusion array he experienced in the first trial, he would have been intimidated and caught off guard by the roars of the heartless soldiers in the second trial.
With that, the magnificent yet barbaric army suddenly vanished into thin air before it could reach Su Ba.
"Him again!"
"This boy passed the second trial even faster than the first. It as truly broken in an instant!"
One of the Yun Meng and Martial Mansion Elder could not help but exclaim!
"This kid isn't simple. I don't know how long he'll take to clear all five trials, but if he can break the record, then that would be a pleasant surprise. If I remember correctly, the record should be..."
The moment the other elder spoke, he turned his gaze to the side...
... into Qin Jiuyue's direction.
For the past ten years, Qin Jiuyue, currently a core disciple, held the record for clearing the advanced assessment the fastest.
Back then, she had only taken several minutes before clearing the entire assessment, which had greatly shocked all of the elders in Yun Meng Martial Mansion!
Besides her, most other disciples would end up clearing it only after fifteen minutes.
Although Qin Jiuyue was not the strongest core disciple, she was, nonetheless, the youngest and had the most potential.
As expected, in a year or two, the position of Martial Mansion's core disciple, Bu Biao, will be replaced!
"It's still too early to tell, for the next three tests will be increasingly more difficult. The record held by Jiuyue won't be that easy to break."
An elder stroked his beard with a smile as he glanced at Qin Jiuyue.
Qin Jiuyue smiled slightly with a tranquil expression.
At this moment, in the illusion, Su Ba had already reached the third trial.
In front of his eyes, a steady stream of cars filled the city streets as the people walked hurriedly along the sidewalks. On both sides of the street, rows of tall skyscrapers towered, exuding the atmosphere of a bustling city.
Su Ba's pupils shrank after realizing that the scene that existed before his resembled that of his previous life in modern day China.
"Su Ba, you finally came. It was hard for you to find time to accompany me. Today's one day trip, you have to listen to me, okay?"
A lady with a delicate face and gentle temperament stepped forward to help Su Ba tidy up the wrinkles on his clothes. Her beautiful eyes looked at Su Ba with deep emotions.
"Xiaoyi…"
Despite Su Ba knowing that it was all an illusion, he was nevertheless stunned by how realism of this mirage.
In his previous life, he was obsessed with martial arts. He challenged experts all over the place to improve his own cultivation and to gain fighting experience. With such an obsession for martial arts, he ended up neglecting the time spent with his girlfriend, Wang Xiaoyi.
He remembered that day when he was challenging other martial warriors in the training hall abroad when he suddenly received the news of Xiao Yi's car accident!
Even though he really wanted to return home and rush back to see Xiaoyi.
In the end, he never ended up seeing her one last time.
That was the most painful day of Su Ba's life! For a long time after that, he was distracted him pain with more training as he continued to blame himself for her death.
Su Ba looked at the beautiful girl — wearing a radiating smile on her face — standing before him silently and gently pulled her into his embrace.
After a while, Su Ba gently pushed Wang Xiaoyi away. He then looked at her calmly and said in a soft voice, "I'm sorry, Xiaoyi... No matter how much I long to see you again in this life, you will never be able to come back to my side..."
The scene in front of him shattered into bits and pieces of glass before disappearing without a trace.
