44 The final trial....?

After relishing the beauty in the mental image, Sheng Tian opened his eyes with a smile. His pupils were still sky blue, but they didn't hold the same magnificence of his true form.

When he is without any disguise, just his pupils were enough to steal countless hearts.

He saw that the contestants were tired—mentally and physically.

He had a feeling that it is going to be very dangerous in the end. The closer they got, the stronger the feeling.

The problem was he couldn't go around saying all of this is a trap.

Firstly, he had no evidence. Even if he did, why would they believe him? This is the legendary ancestor of the Qin Clan with a history of more than 5,000 years we are talking about!

So, he played along as a participant.

When the ice wall covering the Ice Sisters was released, the two sisters were once again visible. Only this time, they were having an expression of coldness on their faces. They looked beautiful and sacred.

Sheng Tian still couldn't stop himself from thinking back to the scene and felt his body slightly heating up.

He quickly turned around and saw Leng Yue Yan looking at him.

When their gazes met, unlike how normally woman turns around, she continued to stare.

Sheng Tian felt her gaze was like an Ice Cold Shower, freezing him.

He walked to her and smiled "What's up, Miss Ice Goddess? Did I suddenly become so handsome that you feel that this World is worthless compared to me and wish to serve me for a lifetime? " he joked casually, he didn't even wonder if she would even bother to respond.

Surprisingly, however, she shook her head: "No. Anyone is worthless compared to the world. Why would I wish to serve anyone because of their appearance?" the celestial voice probably spoke for the longest time in the month.

Sheng Tian didn't expect her to speak and was really stunned. He looked at her and circled her as her gaze began to turn into a glare and the temperature started dropping at an insane rate.

He stood before her and said with a pondering expression "No difference from the Real Ice Goddess. However, where is she now? Who are you?"

Leng Yue Yan was stunned, then she felt angry as the temperature fell further as her voice was filled with indifference "What are you talking about? "

Sheng Tian hit his palm with his fist and said "Exactly. That cold missy can only speak one word per day and that too is very rare. You, on the other hand, can speak several words. Other than an impersonator, what can you be?"

Leng Yue Yan felt a bit of anger but more of a realisation.

Yeah, she didn't talk much whatever the issue was. But, now she spoke so much. Thinking back, she was astonished.

Her face froze and her eyes showed her surprise. Sheng Tian didn't talk further and left with a

'see ya'.

When you are up for conquest, walk each step to relish the experience.

The Ancient Voice picked good timing when some people were about to meditate to recover

"Youngsters, The last test will be collectively conducted and all of you have to work together. As for the legacy, it is up to fate."

A sudden glow flashed as the large White Array on the floor shined.

With a large circle and several small circles on its circumference as seats of the contestants, itresembled the formation in the Hall of inheritance.

The ancient voice continued "The last test would be to see who can accept the mental pain without rejection and use your power at the same time. All you have to do is break this box."

Following its words, a cubic black box appeared in the centre of the circular formation. It was inscribed with dense runes and emitted an ancient aura as it floated it in the air.

The ancient voice continued with nostalgia "This box contains an item to change your destiny which I fought my whole life to obtain. It cannot be opened by one person, all of you have to set down your differences and work together to break this box. And one person can get to change his destiny."

By the end, everyone was already on the circular seats.

Sheng Tian sat in between Leng Yue Yan and the Rising Valley Sect female disciple.

Leng Yue Yan closed her eyes as a serious of thoughts appeared in her mind.

How could a box which the ancestor fought with his life to obtain not be opened by him?

He would surely have the power to open it up.

Then why is he doing this?

Is this simply a test...?

Ling Chen was having the same thoughts along with Liu feifei. Qin Cheng looked at the box and grinned. Qin Lie gnashed his teeth looking at Sheng Tian, then he turned at the box clenching his fist.

Sheng Tian wanted to ask Xiao Lian for help but remembered her lecture and stopped those thoughts.

He suddenly turned around and saw Leng Yue Yan looking at him. He was a bit taken back.

What now? He stopped chasing her and she is chasing him?

He raised his eyebrows in question.

With the same indifferent look, she used her lip movements to convey her message.

Sheng Tian was a bit charmed by those icy-cold vermillion lips. But he was able to decipher her message. "Something seems off. Don't die."

To be honest, he didn't expect her to warn him.

Wasn't she being a little aggressive now? But he didn't know that she did the same to Qin Qing who was next to her and asked her to tell the same to her teammates.

Alas, it seems like his charm was not Ultimate.

The test started.

The 26 people sat cross-legged and focused their profound energy at the square box floating in the centre.

At the same time, they felt a force trying to invade their minds. It was painful and they wanted to resist at first, but they the Ancient voice's words resounded in their mind. They let go of the resistance and allowed their minds to be attacked by the force.

Sheng Tian completely blocked the force trying to invade his mind and sent a weak amount of profound energy out.

Soon, the black box started turning red as the runes on it started wriggling and moving at a ridiculous speed.

All of a sudden, an arrogant laughter filled the room " Haha, Fools! I, Bloody Wolf, shall regain my freedom and slaughter the humans."

Everyone was startled by this voice from the box and tried to take off their profound energy beams, which were currently focused on the same box.

To their horror, they couldn't. They were bound tightly and couldn't control their profound energy as a suction force started sucking all the profound energy from them rapidly.

As if it was not enough, they started losing control over their bodies too.

Sheng Tian, Leng Yue Yan, Ling Chen, Liu fiefei and Qin Qing, one by one coughed up a mouthful of blood.

These were the only people who were aware that some danger was involved.

Sheng Tian was definitely the least injured as he forcefully cut off the link between the energy and his body as well as the invader of his mind fastly.

Just when he was about to get up, he had a foreboding of danger and hurriedly set up a barrier. But the next second, he was blasted away coughing mouthfuls of blood.
