Chapter 75 Murderous Will

At the entrance of the Training Field, you will be given a token. Then the participants will be divided into groups of ten. Only one batch can enter at a time.

Remember, the dummies can't see you or hear you, but they can sense the tokens. If you want to give up, throw away the token, and the dummies will not attack you again. If presented with a life-or-death situation, don't try to be brave. It may cost you your life.

What's more, when you are in the field, you can only fight alone. No cooperative acts are allowed. Otherwise, we will find out, and you will be disqualified.

Now, you may go to the entrance for your token. Go,

the middle-aged steward finished instructing the contestants. In no time, hundreds of grunt disciples who had enlisted for the test rushed to the entrance of the Training Field.

At the mouth of the cave, two disciples were handing out tokens.

"Only ten disciples may step forward to collect tokens. And every five minutes, another ten disciples can enter the training field. Those who violate or break the rules will be disqualified," one of the disciples announced impassively.

All the grunt disciples obeyed. Ten at a time, they stepped forward to receive the tokens. Then they patiently waited to enter the field in batches.

Austin lined up in one of the squads and received his token. Before long, it was time for his group to enter the Training Field.

Inside the cave, the Training Field was a deep and broad aisle, ten meters in height and fifteen meters in width.

A dim light covered everything in bone white light, which added to the unnerving atmosphere.

Densely packed dummies stood in silence on both sides of the path. The dummies were black and made of metal. They were cold, motionless, and intimidating to look at.

In the metal eye sockets of each dummy, green, glittering gems had been embedded.

The gems were made of a unique material that glowed despite the darkness. As countless dummies were packed in this narrow space, both sides of the alley gleamed with a dense mass of green light. The contestants felt as though they were stuck deep in hell, surrounded by innumerable demons.

However, this scene had been designed to test the disciple's mental endurance.

For greater effect, a cold spiritual power was also diffused in the passage. It added mental pressure on the disciples. In this uncertain and threatening atmosphere, some of the disciples felt as though they were suffocating.

However, Austin was familiar with this pressure.

Many names had been used to describe it, including one—"murderous will".

Presumably, this training field had existed for a long while. Dummies must have mercilessly slaughtered countless participants in the corridors over the years.

It was thus, natural for these puppets to be inflicted to a certain degree with the deceased's obsessiveness and resentment. These residual emotions would have spoiled and transfo

dea of a quick pass.

Seemingly, these dummies were programmed to launch surprise attacks. And in running through the aisle, it became difficult to change one's direction or dodge attacks. Once the disciples were attacked, they would be at a severe disadvantage.

So they kept walking at their normal pace and bypassed the injured disciple and the puppet.

After another four or five meters, several dummies were activated and launched attacks at them.

Each dummy targeted one disciple, and wouldn't attack the others.

One of the dummies holding a machete blocked Austin's path. It swung its machete at him aggressively.

Austin dodged and scanned his opponent using his vital energy. He assessed the dummy's power and strength and learned that despite its vicious appearance, it was as weak as a human cultivator at the second-level of the Energy Gathering Realm.

But he wasn't surprised. The contest was designed for grunt disciples, most of whom were at the second or third-level of the Energy Gathering Realm.

He felt sympathy for the disciples who had fled.

They were skillful enough to defeat the dummies, but their weak will power stunted them. They gave up too quickly, even before the real examination had begun.

Thinking of this, Austin could not help shaking his head, hoping that Evan would not make such a mistake.

Austin flashed the dummy in front of him a contemptuous smile. After dodging another attack from the dummy, he directed his vital energy to his right fist and launched his counterattack.

"BOOM!"

His fist collided with the dummy's chest with great agility and strength. At once, the dummy fell to the ground with a fist print on its chest. Then it crunched up and moved back to where it stood.

As easy as Austin expected! He knew he would be victorious.

The other grunt disciples heard the noise and glanced in Austin's direction. When they saw what happened, they stared at Austin dumbfounded.
