Chapter 652 Chapter 652 A Memory of Madness

Only silence and bowed heads resumed to be true at this time. One should know that this last part was cruel and deadly to many.

Everyone of these boys also knew about this beforehand and their families had absolutely instructed them to not take this gamble.

"But all good things must come with a price. This last test is very dangerous and only 1 out of a hundred people can maybe survive this tribulation."

Elder Xia Juan was a good soul since she did not miss to point out how fatal this final test was.

If all of them 200 failed recruits would agree to take this test, only 2 of them could maybe make it out alive in the end. Such a horrible survival chance was truly extreme.

"So who amongst you will take this test?" Elder Xia Juan asked in that sweet gentle voice of hers. If truth be told, she wished that no one would accept this cruel chance.

If she could, she would have long abolished this practice. Unfortunately, she was not the Sect Master who could freely make or change the decrees that they have.

She also understood the sage opinion of their founding ancestors.

The usual entrance test was to measure the natural talent of their disciples while this backdoor test was there to measure the perseverance of these disciples.

Talent and will.

Both were so crucial in order to thrive and succeed in this cultivation world.

"You are all free to go now. To those who want to take this deadly test, remain on the field." Elder Xia Juan said her last piece of advice before she left the scene completely.

If there were any takers on this offer, she did not want to see the torture that would happen next at all. One by one, the 200 failed boys slowly departed from the Profound Delight Sect.

"Guys, you surely can't be serious! Come with us now! This test is not worth your life!" A concerned boy pleaded to the 7 that chose to remain.

"I'm an orphan in this world. I have nothing to lose." A boy answered but it was clear that he was terrified since his jaws shivered and his teeth gnashed loudly against each other.

'I can't go home in failure. I would rather die than face the disappointed looks of my parents.'

Some things were just too horrible to speak of.

"I have full belief that all of you know what this test entails so..."

"The trial of a Hundred Strikes shall now commence!" Zi Yu announced. Immediately thereafter, yells of pain and torture resounded in the field.

The scene was too gruesome to describe. Halfway through the count, everyone was already in their last breaths.

"70!" At this time, all 7 of them have entered in the cycle of Samsara.

"BANG!"

"BANG!"

"BANG!"

The strikes continued to happen and this was also when a visitor from afar descended into the realm. This was of course none other than our very own protagonist, Clark Colter.

'Well, this is a creative way to wake me up... partner.' Our bored gamer thought as he smiled amidst the pain that he felt. There were 4 men who held him up. One at each limb.

They were only there to make sure that the strikes would hit true to its target.

'Ahhh... this familiar feeling of agony and self death.'

'It has been a long while hasn't it?' Clark closed his eyes once more to relish this torment in full.

'Welcome back, my friend. It has been a long time indeed.'

A voice whispered in the ears of our avid gamer and this was only one of the personalities that accompanied him in the untold years of anguish during the Soul Fragmentation Process.
