Supreme Origin: Time King 73 Chapter: 006 I'm Not Ready

At this moment, other than Elijah, Aina and the ones who had been ejected out everyone was awake. And from the initial 300 that partic.i.p.ated in the Preliminary Test, only thirty had remained and were waiting in the primary hall. Every single one of them seemed to before more determinaded and fire could be seen burning in the eyes of the ones who had pa.s.sed the test as they were thinking the same thing. 'If just the illusions here was so realistic, what the treasures inside could be?`

Many people have had such thoughts, but so far have not received any type of evaluation or heard the voice from before.

After another 15 minutes, Aina had finaly awakened, but contrary to the others, her face was pale and her eyes showed confusion and sorrow. At that moment, she sudenly spat out a huge mouthful of blood and from her Interspatial pouch, she I have a bottle of red potion and she drank it. in a few seconds, her face seemed less pale.

Then she turned her head to look at Elijah who was still asleep. 'Why hasn't he wake up yet?'

It was already more than an hour. The time he had already spent in the illusion was five times longer than the person who spent the shortest timeand nany people could not stop arguing in whispers. Some people suspected that he had an accident inside.

Elijah suddenly felt his body shudder as he woke up.

This shuddering feeling was something he always experienced every time he had some of those strange dreams. Then Elijah opened her eyes as his vision gradually become clear. The first thing he saw was the face of several people looking at him.

Feeling confused, he said: "What happened, why everyone is looking at me?" Keith who was by his side extended his hand and helped Elijah get up from the floor.

When he get up, many people crowded around him. They were looking at his right arm with amazement and shock.

Some of these people were familiar to Elijah. He recalled that they were the cultivators who had walked into the ruins with him.

'Oh... right, I had nearly forgot that was a test.'

Elijah remembered everyhing that had happened. He searched the surrounds and saw there was a bronze hand on the floor and after looking for a while his vision turned to his arm and saw that a white flesh hand had growed there and finally understood why everyone was looking at him with shock.

His facial features are delicate, yet masculine, he had long lashes and the corners of mouth were curved upwards. His slightly tousled light brown hair covered a part of his face, but it could not hide his two s.h.i.+ny gray eyes.

His eyes were too clear. In the clearness, there was a faint tinge of a childish slyness.

"You finally wake up from the illusion, Do you know how long you've been there?" Aina transmitted her voice with elemental energy as it sounded in Elijah's ears.

Of course Elijah did not know, so he shaked his head. Aina was looking at the youth in front of her seriously. She was not at all concerned with the answer to the youth's question. What she was realy concerned with was whether that world from the dream was real.

This time… it can't be a dream again, right?

"It's been five and a half hours since the test started."

Just five and a half hours?

In the illusion, he probably had been beaten up for more than 20 days.

"End of the preliminary test!" At that moment, the cold voice from echoed in the square. But now there didn't were as surprised as before.

That scary and realistic illusion was just a preliminary test. Then, What would the true tests be?

As if ir know about their questions, the voice carried on, "The first trial, cultivation! Every subject will be given the timespan of one week in a special room where the time is acelerated by 10 times. The objective is to reach the Third Realm before the end of the timespan. For those who failed will be sent back to the surface."

Cultivation?

At first, the partic.i.p.ants were confused, but after hearing evething that the voice had said. They finally understood the entire process of the first trial.

The preliminary test was a test on how powerful their will truly was. It was to a.s.sess how the partic.i.p.ants could deal with their past traumas. For a someone who wanted to climb to the peak of cultivation, it was naturally important for them to be able to withstand their traumas and keeping going foward.

As for Elijah, he was worried, for he had just reached the Supreme Refining Realm, and there was a long way to the next. So he did not think it was possible for him to pa.s.s this test.

The door opened and beams of light led each of the partic.i.p.ants into their own chambers. Walking inside his training room, the first thing that Elijah saw was a large furnace with room for someone to enter, on the other side was a small lake of white water that exuded terrifying coldness. and the last was a man-sized capsule with a b.u.t.ton to open it.

Sensing he was inside the training room, the cold voice echoed once again: "I can see you are a practioner of the Supreme King Manual. I prepared an special training room for the Supreme Refining Realm. I recoment the use of the fornace to refine the body, the Eternal Ice Lake to refine the soul and the capsule to refine the Energy."

Hearing what the voice said, Elijah had a bad feeling about this. "Wait, are you telling me that i have to burn myself on a furnace? Are you crazy?!"

The voice didn't respond him.

Elijah felt a strange force trowing him inside the furnace.

"Wait! I'm not ready!"

"Do not worry, it will not hurt ... too much." There was a hint of joy in the voice as if his reaction were a source of amus.e.m.e.nt for the voice. Then the furnace turned on.

"Wait, No!"
