Just when I moved the side, and even before my body stopped spinning midair, I saw another spear coming from the front.
And another one was following close from the back.
Sh*t! Were they determined to take my life away? Screw you all!
At this moment, I felt great enmity with the rocks that I wanted to blast every single rock in my three worlds when I'd return alive from this test.
Without waiting, I used the momentum of my body and my rope, changed the trajectory of my body again, evading the incoming attack from the front.
Then the attack from behind arrived. And without even catching my breath, I hit it with my leg, sending my body to another direction while flying again.
This kept repeating itself countless times, making me grow numb to this.
Hey mysterious dude high in the sky watching me, my human race wasn't a flying race at all! We dreamt of flying indeed, but that didn't mean you had to grant this wish to me right now!
What the heck was wrong with this test? Was it trying to test me out or trying to teach me the value of flying?
Anyway, I got myself freed from the attacks using this weird way that made me feel like I was one of those races blessed with wings on their backs.
Time passed without me realising it. My mind got weary, and my body started to ache. Despite the fact that I was doing something that seemed simple and not taxing, repeating it without having the chance to catch my breaths was something insane without doubt!
I started panting and my chest kept heaving up and down without any pause for long hours now. Sweat kept dripping over my forehead and face, even sweet salty beads got into my eyes sometimes, making me feel the burning sensation there.
My mind started to ache with an annoying headache that came from all this spinning and jumping. For such a long time, my feet never touched the ground and the farthest they touched were these rocky spears.
This feeling… I didn't want to feel it again ever in my life.
"Good, the first test is over!"
Without knowing it, my body kept spinning and jumping for an unknown period of time until I finally heard the words of that despicable entity.
When I was jolted awake, I found my body crashing on the ground, landing like a heavy rock. I glided for hundreds of metres while my body kept rolling over the ground until I finally stopped.
It took me roughly half an hour to stand up. My legs were shaking, my upper half was filled with bruises and different wounds that I never recalled when I got them.
It seemed even with my improvised way of evasion, I still got hit many times without knowing it. What? Did my sense of pain grow dull after all this spinning and jumping around?
"You got half a day of rest. Enjoy it as long as you can."
"Screw you!" I didn't show any sign of politeness anymore. I could feel injustice and bias from this test. And that meant that mysterious being, no matter who he was, was already hostile to me.
My head was still hurt and I lost any common sense or control over myself after all this fervent evasion.
"Hahahaha, you are seeking power that's beyond your reach," and when I attacked, he finally showed his true colours, "a race like yours, one that never did anything remarkable in the entire long history of the cosmos, doesn't deserve to have a hegemone!"
"It's not up to you to decide," as he acted in such a way, showing off his dirty intentions towards me, I didn't get dejected. Instead, I did what I used to do in such situations; stand tall and face such injustice with might instead of pleading with useless words.

"I know," he admitted, "but that doesn't mean you'll succeed."
"We'll see about that," just when I heard his words, I sat on the ground on impulse, closed my eyes and tried to regulate my breathing.
Losing my cool wasn't going to do me any good. I got a wimp on his intentions and now I was sure of it.
So I had to calm myself down. However when I did that, something miraculous occurred.
The energy inside my body responded to my posture and started rotating. I checked everything before, yet I missed my spiritual energy and cultivation base.
Damn! How did I forget about these and was only focused only on using the system, my class, my weapons, and my forces?
Something seems wrong here with this world… I was sure that I tried to use everything I had under my disposal. Yet for unknown reasons, I seemed to totally forget about my cultivation strength.
Don't tell me this world had a psychological effect, negatively impacting my train of thoughts and state of mind?
And just when I was puzzled, a refreshing feeling invaded my body without any restraints.

"This… Sigh! It seems you figured it out and managed to overcome the second trial…" just when I was bathed by my spiritual energy, cleansing my body from any wound, fatigue, and wrath, his words echoed in my mind.
I was startled when I heard him before I recalled what he said before. There were going to be three tests, one for my body, one for my soul, and the last was for my heart.
But he just announced one test only. Since when the second test started?
I opened my eyes and looked at the distant sky. It was still filled with densely packed clouds and thundering lightning.
Yet for a reason, I felt calmer and at ease thanks to my spiritual energy in my body.
"You tricked me?" This was the only possible explanation for all this.
This motherf*cker twisted the facts, used his authority as someone overseeing this trial of mine, and kept some news hidden.
