Chapter 440

The white stones joined together to form a human-like figure with a buff physique, yet it was helpless at this point in time.

The dragon made of black stones sprawled across the Go board ferociously, resembling an elderly man in a blood-red robe at the same time.

Forbidden spell Deaths Curse!

A terrifying crimson light beam smashed into the human figure, and Chui Yim clearly felt his body decomposing. Vitality was flowing out of his body rapidly.This chapter is updated by nov(e)(l)biin.com

Wong Kei looked at the bald teenager in front of him in curiosity.

So, he's the nice kid that Third Senior Brother always talks about? But I wont go easy on him just because of that.

The current stage was known as Fear Dragon, which came in the form of a Go game.

This Fear Dragon would show the participant his or her deepest, strongest fear. It varied for everybody, and each person had their own way to face their fears. Those that failed to overcome it successfully were disqualified.

Thus, the actual test of this stage was not the game of Go but if the teens could face their fears and not back out.

Such a question was way more complicated than those used in the inter-school exchange, but simpler at the same time.

So what if you were invincible to all cultivators? Your fears, and not anyone else, might be the knife that kills you.

As the saying goes, the only thing that matters is life and death.

Who was fearless when facing death? Chui Yim was one of the few who could discuss this matter loudly.

Death was no doubt horrifying and painful, especially to feel ones vitality flowing out of their body like water.

But to Chui Yim, death wasn't the scariest. The situation it caused was.

How he had to look at those he cared for and see their broken hearts, or how he was unable to reach the extreme state in forging that he desired.

Nice one, you've passed. Wong Kei praised Chui Yim with a glint in his eyes.

Man Yee Ho looked at the Go board that was like a blanket of stars. This was a foreign field to him, but just as Wong Kei mentioned, Go was just like life and was closely related to one's knowledge and forging connections.

Man Yee Ho was no Go player, but the military god that led countless of soldiers.

To him, the stones were like soldiers, and he didnt seem to see the fear that the Fear Dragon tried to instil in him. He did not see the situation as fear but a battlefield.

First move.

The white stone was like a special force that silently appeared next to the black dragon. Being where black ruled, it obviously would not give Man Yee Ho the chance, so it destroyed the white stone within no time, but that was exactly what Man Yee Ho wanted to see.

The special force was meant to be sacrificed to attract the black dragon's attention, and after two moves, Wong Kei realized that white, which was as good as defeated, managed to turn the tables! This left Wong Kei in awe.

This game of Go wasn't about actual Go skills to start with; those that managed to pass did so because they overcame their fears. However, Man Yee Ho was the first to overcome this impossible situation!

Magnificent! That was awesome! All types of mystical strategies, from decoy tactics to baiting and managing to escape I would love to discuss Go with you if this wasn't a trial.

Ping Ching looked at the board indifferently. She did not back off despite being criticized by the Ping Clan elders. Her moves were all offensive, and Ping Ching did not even think of giving up even though she was faced with a difficult situation.

She feared most how the Ping Clan elders talked about her being a girl, and that was the reason why she pretended to be a boy to be the candidate that everyone would find suitable to take over the clan. But she was no longer the Ping Ching she used to be.

She was now who she was, Ping Ching. The boy that faced death calmly with a laugh gave her courage.

It was unknown how long had passed, but the place was still in good weather.

Now, there were only about thirty participants left from the more than a hundred previously, yet they still had three stages more to go

The confident teenagers couldn't help but feel stressed. As teens and elites amongst their peers, they were filled with confidence, but sadly had to face the truth in front of the straw hut.

Cloud Palace wasn't looking for just elites, but the elite amongst elites.
