The wall continued to push forward, propelling Ye Wushuang’s body closer and closer to the cliff’s edge. Even though Ye Wushuang repeatedly told himself that all of this was merely an illusion conjured by the array, at this moment, every sensation felt overwhelmingly real!
The trial of the heart, indeed, tests the very core of a martial artist’s spirit and will.
Leaning against the wall, Ye Wushuang was inexorably pushed to the very brink of the cliff, and ultimately, into the molten lava below.
His body seemed to be enveloped by the lava, with every inch of his skin subjected to an instant of searing torment.
Scorching heat.
Bone-chilling agony.
Yet, despite it all, Ye Wushuang remained utterly still.
Everything was an illusion!
All that mattered was to maintain his true self!
Gradually, as he grew accustomed to the situation, Ye Wushuang even began to meditate…
However, this state did not last long.
In the next instant, the surroundings around Ye Wushuang changed dramatically. He was no longer on the cliff’s edge but in a tranquil valley.
The valley was filled with fruit trees, their branches laden with bright red, succulent fruits. Among the trees, beautiful young women with bright eyes, enchanting figures, and revealing clothing moved gracefully. Each of them seemed like a fairy, either holding a plate of fruit or a cup brimming with fine wine, approaching Ye Wushuang.
“Master Ye, let me feed you…”
“Lord Ye, you’ve finally come. I’ve missed you so much…”
“Master Ye, please eat…”
One by one, the beautiful women crowded around him.
Seeing this, Ye Wushuang stood firm, unmoved.
It was not that he was indifferent to beauty; rather, these women were far too vulgar to catch his eye, let alone pose any threat of temptation to him.
“Get away!”
With a low, forceful shout, the beautiful women transformed into venomous snakes, their tongues flickering as they lunged at Ye Wushuang.
The trial of the heart continued unabated…
At that moment, within the Four Spirits Inquiry of the Heart Array.
“Ah…”
A scream suddenly pierced the air. One of the candidates seemed to be on fire, jumping up and frantically patting himself all over.
“I’m burning, I’m burning, help me, help me…”
The disciple shouted and screamed, only to be expelled from the array’s range.
The disciple in charge of recording the assessment calmly announced, “Qu Ying, less than half a quarter of an hour, no rating.”
The candidate looked around, his expression suddenly dazed.
Failure!
“I…” The young man muttered dejectedly, “It was too real… it was just too real…”
At that moment, another young man suddenly stood up, reaching out his hands towards the person beside him with a lecherous expression, pouting his lips and squinting his eyes.
“Let me kiss you, my darling, my sweetie, I love you so much…”
Ironically, the candidate next to him also suddenly reached out, grabbing the young man’s chest and chuckling in a dreamy voice, “Beautiful one, I love you too…”
The two men were now embracing, their faces almost touching.
A buzzing sound rang out, and both were simultaneously ejected from the array.
The next moment, when the two opened their eyes, the person before them was no longer the beauty they had just wanted to spend their life with!
“Ugh…”
Almost simultaneously, both vomited.
“Chu He, Li Yun, half a quarter of an hour, lower rating,” the assessment recorder announced once more.
The onlookers around them had already burst into laughter.
The two men, their faces flushed with embarrassment, fled the crowd and disappeared.
It had to be said that this second trial of the heart, even within the illusionary array, made every candidate feel as if they were in a real situation, which was truly terrifying.
In less than a quarter of an hour, more than a dozen people had already been expelled from the Four Spirits Inquiry of the Heart Array, declared failures.
Among the ninety-six participants in the second trial, however, there were a few who remained remarkably calm…
