Chapter 19: Tribulation of the Elements



"Young hero, you are the first to enter this trial, be honored."

The voice of the person emits an arrogance and power.

"May I know who you are and what class is this trial for?"

"These two questions will only be answered if you can complete the trial. Are you prepared to begin the trial?"

"Yes"

"Your first challenge is tribulation of the elements, you will have to resist fire, water, earth, wind, thunder, metal, wood, light and darkness. Your body and soul will go through a tribulation of strength, strengthening them and making them more resistant to the elements, your body is out of this space, but you will still feel the pain caused by tribulation. Think carefully about which element you will choose."

"Tribulation may be in the order it was said."

"All right, let the trial begin. First trubulation, fire."

Seconds after the man finished speaking, a sea of ​​flames appeared and encircled Liu Yang's body, the flames were within a meter of the body. The flames were shrinking gradually, until it began to burn Liu Yang's body.

"Ah ...! Fuck…! That hurts to hell ...!"

This was the soul of Liu Yang being burned, making him feel agonizing pain.

At the same time in the real world, the body of Liu Yang who was lying on the stone bed, began to sweat and get a little red, some parts were beginning to rip and bleed, even if the body is not squirming. Xillia Wolf realized what had happened and began to pay attention to Liu Yang's body.

While inside the trial space, Liu Yang's soul was being burned making him feel horrible pain.

Trying to calm down, but because of the pain her mind could not stay calm. The only thing Liu Yang could do was lie down, close his eyes, close his teeth, focus and shout once in a while. With that, Liu Yang made the pain a little more bearable, but still the pain was agonizing.

Without knowing how much time had passed, the pain began to subside, opening her eyes, Liu Yang saw the flames were fading away. When the flames went out completely, Liu Yang finally relaxed. But what Liu Yang did not know was that out of the trial space, his real body without clothing was a mess, its outer layer of meat was almost totally burned, in some parts one could even see the bones, fresh blood flowing from his wounds, there was dried blood on the floor, the scene and the smell on the spot were horrible.

Xillia Wolf looked at Liu Yang who was in a miserable state, she wanted to help him heal, but as he was still inside the trial, she did not, but by the time Liu Yang's life was at stake, Xillia Wolf would not hesitate to save him.
