Chapter 25: A mistake for the sake of power is not A mistake
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Whoosh...
Mountain winds blew in the small cave, mixing with the faint pain cries of the villain; completely disabled from every side, his muscles were pulsating; however, if not for the extreme cold and the efforts of jin in stopping the bleeding, Chun would've not survived till now.
He looked so miserable on the polished crystal ground that even the devils will take mercy on him, yet, the skeleton put a hand on his cheek, comfortably watching the bloody show.
"Stay with me!" I screamed; I tried every method in the book to keep him conscious, but his mind only drifted to the other side with time.
Rapidly turning my head to face the evil skeleton, I urgently tried to communicate with him, "Hey you! He already passed the trial. What's next?"
The smiling ghost made an annoyed gesture and hatefully looked at me with his empty eyes like I'm some sort of fun spoiler before switching his gaze to the boy heavily shaking in the ground.
Clack...
His jawbones weirdly moved, making a terrifying expression.
«Is he smiling? How could a skeleton smile? Isn't normal people need jaw muscles to achieve such a thing» Jin finally understood the original naming sense of this powerful cultivator; his jaw didn't actually move, but the whole time was always fixated on a wide smile.
«Fuck!» I got astonished by the marvelous structure of his face; it was so unnatural that it almost looked like a knife carves it.
Moving his finger, he tapped on the giant tablet.
{
Congratulations on clearing the second trial.
Your third trial will start now:
To become a GUI, just like me, your bones should be tainted by darkness and loathe; as much as your wrath and hate upon the creatures of the world is bigger, as much as you will able to survive longer.
First, you shall receive three pills, the Gui morphing pill, bones shattering pill; and Gui bone-forming pill; the basic use of the first one is fairly simple, our benefactor, the great Yaogui spirit, bestowed upon us his limbs to keep our strength from deterioration, which means your lost body parts, will not only regrow but also gain inhuman strength and abilities.
The second pill will shatter your bones, turning them to powder, thus, preparing for the last drug, the unbreakable GUI bones.
your body will bones will demolish one after another to get replaced by the dark bones
Now, The requirement is very simple. All you need to do is to survive these three tribulations.
}
Three pills appeared on the table out of thin air.
Reading the tablet, I no longer knew what to do, cry? Or grab my head, this is far too ruthless than I ever thought it would be; a single broken bone will give you tremendous pain, but now imagine every bone particle getting crushed between themselves; God knows how this boy survived this in the novel.
Chun couldn't read the tablet's content, so I clasped my fists, reading the hurtful words to him as I delivered the obnoxious task.
Finishing, I heard a maniac, loud laugh.
"HAHAHAHA!"
"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA"
The little villain's body was shivering, from top to bottom, veins pumping in his visage, enhancing the brazen lunatic expression.
«Nononono! Don't you dare to lose your mind! My precious little life is in danger!» Jin thought as he fastly ran toward the pills.
«Bastard you did in the novel so that you will do it again!.» he took the pills and forcefully opened Chun's mouth, giving him the first pill.
Dragging him to the side, I felt some movement on the surface of his injuries.
«System, how much time did it take each phase to compete?»
<About a month for the first one, three days for the second one, and seven days for the last phase>
«Hm, that's means I need to nurse him for a long time! How am I supposed to get stronger? the sect selection deadline is nearing»
<Yes, you still can make it to the fourth or fifth -grade spiritual root if you worked harder>
«Not with my background, four won't cut it off, at least plus seven, I don't lag any background, so I won't be persecuted or suppressed if I showed great talent, and besides I don't like all that power hidy hidy action, Mcs usually doing, only Trump cards and plots are worth hiding, why would I be humiliated, and picked on for months, to just suppress them each individually, that's too much wasted time.»
Jin quiets down before begging, «Please, System, don't let me have that fate. I'll do anything.»
<There is a way>
He instantly got delighted, «Quickly spit it out for me!»
<I can make a special quest for you here but are you sure you want to undergo it? Same as the demonic cultivator tasks, There's no going back from mine either>
«Of course strength is all that matter!» answered;
Jin didn't know that by accepting such a quest, he will taste some of the smiling ghost's favorite medicine.
<Ping>
<
Special Quest:
Play the smiling ghost survival games and successfully survive.
Reward: An instant grade upgrade, plus a cultivation level raise.
Note: only works below the seven spiritual grade.
Penalty: horrible death.
>
My lips curled down startlingly; I felt a heaviness in my stomach; gasping, I yelled, "What?"
The quest wasn't within his expectations at all; external worry crashed his soul like a burst of a nuclear bomb; it was the first time he ever had a quest that failure punished with instant death.
<The request has been issued; the host should immediately start a conversation with the smiling ghost>
I glanced at the dizzy Chun suffering at the corner, seeing with my own eyes what a task can serve, let alone a game.
But what a pity that I already made such a critical mistake; I only had my big mouth to blame.
Taking a deep breath and smacking my cheeks, I made up my mind, directly directing my gaze to the sadist demonic master figure.
"Hi you, do you have any reward for me too? I traveled a long road and would like to get something out of it," I shouted toward him.
His bones clacked fastly turning his decayed face bones to me, putting a hand on his chin.
He tapped on the table, and words followed.
{
Are you sure? Didn't you see what happened to the boy beside you?
}
Even he was surprised by my big balls. After all, I just saw an otherworldly pain concert just a minute ago.
"And what danger count for, in the face of power?" I replied.
Immediately following up:
{
Hehehehehhehehehehehehehehehehehhehe!
Boy, you have some real guts; it was a thousand years since I heard someone deliberately want to challenge my games; I hate to tell you that nobody ever survived, but if you insist, I surely will concede with your request
}
I sensed a tremendous excitement building up, even though his figure was expressionless, but the ecstatic aura he was emitting made my scalp not just numb but want even to run.
