SOUL LAND IV (DOULUO DALU) : ULTIMATE FIGHTING - Chapter 894: So Simple?

Chapter 894: So Simple?

TL: BluVerse

Light and shadows reappeared, and an elderly man with a somewhat fierce appearance emerged. As soon as he appeared, he shouted, “Are you jealous of others?”

“No. Whatever you want, whatever you aim for, just work hard for it. Effort will bring rewards,” replied Lan Xuanyu.

“Pass.” The old man waved his hand and disappeared instantly.

Then another person appeared, with an even more ferocious appearance, described as having a face full of rough muscles.

“In what situations do you feel angry?” the elderly man asked.

Lan Xuanyu said, “Many times, when I’m not working hard enough, I get angry at myself. Also, when I see evil prevailing, and”

“Stop, can you stay calm when you’re angry?” the elderly man interrupted Lan Xuanyu, who was about to continue.

“I can!” Lan Xuanyu said firmly.

Staying calm in any situation was Tang Zhenhua’s teaching to him over the years. Now he could truly do it. As the First Wing of the Thirty-Three Skywings, he had to.

“Pass.” The angry-looking old man floated away.

Lan Xuanyu was taken aback by the continuous appearances of these figures and the relentless questioning, making him somewhat caught off guard. However, he noticed that with the passage of time, the green and purple halos around him seemed to intensify, and the dragon core noticeably increased in size. This progress was much faster than his usual cultivation.

Ask away; the more questions, the better. It allows me to absorb these two kinds of energy to enhance the dragon core.

The flickering of light and shadows did not stop; another old man appeared, chubby, with a kind face, looking at Lan Xuanyu with a smile, “How do you view greed?”

Lan Xuanyu was stunned and said, “I don’t think greed is necessarily a derogatory term; it should be a neutral term.”

“Oh? Explain.” The old man looked at him with some surprise.

Lan Xuanyu said, “Because I believe greed is the driving force for human progress. To continually advance, we must have an insatiable mentality driving us forward. So, I think that when greed is appropriate, we should be greedy. This way, we can keep moving forward and constantly improve ourselves. It’s like having goals; to strive for them, you need the motivation of greed.”

“Well said. Young man, you’ve passed all the tests! I’ll send you out now.”

“Elder” Lan Xuanyu hurriedly called out. He was about to say, “Elder, I’m not in a hurry.” But in the next moment, everything around him suddenly spun, and when Lan Xuanyu realized it, the surroundings suddenly emptied, and the scenery became clear. He was already propelled into the air.

Not far away was the Eternal Tree, and below was the Sea God’s Lake.

Lan Xuanyu quickly controlled the wind element to support his body, floating in mid-air. When he looked down, the vortex of the previous Seven Saints Abyss had disappeared. The lake surface was smooth as a mirror.

Did he pass?

Tang Zhenhua had mentioned experiencing the tests of the seven major sins here. However, were these tests just questions? The first test should be laziness, which seemed a bit challenging, but what did the six subsequent tests mean?

After laziness came desire, followed by arrogance, gluttony, jealousy, anger, and finally, greed. Journey Beyond Imagination with ℵσνεℓвιη.

The following six were ridiculously easy to pass.

Looking around, there was no one. The lake surface was empty. Lan Xuanyu wanted to fly over to the side of the Eternal Tree, but considering the academy’s requirements and his uncertainty about whether he had truly passed the Seven Saints Abyss test, he didn’t dare to cross over and flew to the shore.

When he touched the ground, feeling the changes in everything around him, he felt that everything seemed normal. There didn’t appear to be any problems.

Quietly sensing the bloodline aura inside him, the power of the bloodline had obviously strengthened quite a bit. In just that short moment, the degree of bloodline enhancement could compare to the results of a trip to the Senlou Planet and a cultivation session in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

Wasn’t this effect a bit too good?

What exactly was going on?

Seven Saints Abyss.

It was still the same cave. Seven elderly figures gathered together. The old man who had questioned Lan Xuanyu about arrogance earlier was angrily confronting the fattest old man, “Why were you so talkative? Still asking two questions? Don’t you know that if he stayed a little longer, he would have absorbed more of our destruction and life energy?”

The chubby old man replied with grievance, “Can you blame me? I have to ask to clarify! We’ve already simplified it as much as possible. The loss from his laziness test was significant.”

The first old man who appeared lazily said, “I didn’t know. It was only when he released the absorption of life and destruction energy that I realized something was wrong. This kid is not absorbing just two types of energy but the fundamental source of life and destruction in our Seven Saints Abyss. It’s terrifying. If I hadn’t informed you in time, who knows how much we would have lost.”

The last old man to appear sighed, looking pained, “I was the one who summed it up at the end, and I had to let him speak a little more. This kid didn’t want to leave yet, so I quickly threw him out. What exactly is his background? Where did Shrek Academy find such a freak? We’ve relied on the Eternal Tree for so many years to nurture the balance of life and destruction, making the space so stable, and he actually managed to shake it up in just a short while. In this brief moment, at least nearly a thousandth of our energy has been absorbed by this kid.”

The only female among them smiled bitterly, “This kid will definitely be rejected by potential partners in the future. However, there seems to be a familiar feeling about him. Lazy old devil, how are his companions? Did they experience the same situation?”

The first one to appear in front of Lan Xuanyu said, “They are struggling to wake up; the spiritual power of these kids is quite strong. I probably can’t stop them. Greedy old devil, you get ready to take over.”

The leader, Old Demon Greed, said in a deep voice, “Considering the situation with that kid just now, hurry up, all of you. As long as there are no obvious problems, let them pass as soon as possible. To prevent that kid from coming back again. The Eternal Tree seems to be very intimate with him. If he insists on finding our Seven Saints Abyss, he might actually succeed. Once he discovers the source of the space in the Seven Saints Abyss, we won’t be able to do anything about it. I’ll go and inform the Sea God Pavilion, telling them not to let this kid get close to us in the future.”

“Agreed!” The old devils nodded in agreement and went about their business.

At this moment, Lan Xuanyu was sitting cross-legged on the shore, waiting for his companions to return. For a moment, he felt a bit lonely, unaware that his presence had reduced the difficulty of the Seven Saints Abyss test for his companions. He himself had managed to pass through by sheer luck, or rather, the seven figures had allowed him to pass.

The academy certainly couldn’t have anticipated that what was supposed to be the most challenging test of character had become the simplest for Lan Xuanyu. It was much easier than the tests for the other members of the Thirty-Three Skywings.

As time passed, Lan Xuanyu began to feel a bit anxious while waiting. Suddenly, there was a flicker of light on the distant lake surface, and then a pair of wings spread open, and a person emerged from the water.

Lan Xuanyu’s eyes shimmered with purple light as he activated the Purple Demon Eyes to look at the lake surface in the distance. He immediately saw Qian Lei, who had released his Two-Word Battle Armor, flying unsteadily towards the shore.

This guy seemed a bit pale, but overall, he looked fine.

“Qian Lei, over here,” Lan Xuanyu called out to him loudly.

Upon seeing Lan Xuanyu, Qian Lei’s eyes lit up, and he hurriedly flew in his direction.

The moment he touched the ground, Qian Lei sat down on the ground with a sigh, “Oh my god, it’s finally over. It was so difficult.”

Lan Xuanyu looked at him with a puzzled expression, “Did your Seven Saints Abyss test also end? What happened to you?”
