Chapter 19: Chapter-19 Divine Examination, Sunset Forest
Hun Yu woke up from a peaceful slumber, feeling rested and rejuvenated. He gently untangled his arms from the pillow that he had been hugging tightly and stretched his body, feeling the warmth of the morning sun on his face. With a smile on his lips, he made his way to the kitchen, his mind clear and alert.
In the kitchen, Hun Yu took a bowl of fresh fruits from the counter and savored the juicy sweetness of the ripe mangoes and bananas. He loved the simple pleasure of enjoying the gifts of nature, and the burst of flavors in his mouth was enough to make him feel grateful for the day ahead.
He looked around the kitchen. The sound of the birds outside added a peaceful rhythm to his thoughts, and he felt a sense of calm wash over him.
Hun Yu finished his breakfast and took a deep breath.
As he was about to leave his house, he noticed something unusual in the corner of his eye. He approached the object and picked it up, realizing that it was the mysterious bow that Master Yun had given him. However, he couldn't recall bringing it with him when he left the bow village. He was curious about how the bow ended up in his house.
He sensed Xiao Xiao's aura outside and called his loyal dog to play in the village. As he made his way back inside the house, he pondered over how he could uncover the mystery of the bow. Suddenly, an idea struck his mind - he thought if dropping of blood would work.
He searched for a pin and pricked his finger, letting a drop of blood fall onto the bow. Nothing happened for a few moments, and he was about to give up and leave when he noticed that the mark on his forehead started to glow brightly. Golden lines on his forehead shone as a mysterious voice echoed around him, "Archery God 9 trials start. 1st trial, reach level 40 in 4 months."
He was surprised and confused about what had just happened. He had never heard of such a thing before. He tried to sense the source of the voice, but he couldn't pinpoint it. He wondered what these trials were and who or what was behind them.
As he pondered about the consequences of not completing the this trial, a sense of urgency overtook him. With only six months left before the Advanced Soul Master Continental Contest, he knew that time was of the essence. He had to train non-stop for the next four months under the blazing sun to have any chance of reaching level 40. He didn't know why his cultivation speed increased under the sun, but he couldn't afford to question it now.
The next two months would be spent joining an academy and participating in the Advanced Soul Master Continental Contest. He knew that the competition would be fierce, with the strongest and most talented soul masters from all over the continent converging to showcase their abilities.
The pressure was mounting, and he could feel the weight of his responsibilities crushing him. He had to succeed. Failure was not an option.
As he sat cross-legged on the ground, the blind
young man focused his mind and controlled his thoughts. After some time of calming his mind, he stood up and considered where he should go to train for the next four months. Perhaps the outskirts of the Sunset Forest would be a good choice. Despite the risks of venturing into the dangerous soul beast forest alone, he was willing to take the chance in order to gain valuable experience and increase his chances of breaking through.
However, he knew he couldn't bring his loyal companion, Xiao Xiao, with him on this dangerous journey. He loved his dog dearly, but the risks were too great. He had heard tales of powerful soul beasts lurking within the Sunset Forest, and he didn't want to put his beloved pet in harm's way.
With a heavy heart, he said goodbye to Xiao Xiao and set out on his journey, guided only by his heightened sense of hearing and touch. road was long and treacherous, but he remained undaunted, determined to reach his destination.
As I left the village, I felt a familiar presence approach me. It was Xiao Xiao, my loyal guide dog, coming to say goodbye. I gave her a pat on the head and whispered my gratitude for her unwavering companionship.
I climbed aboard the cart, grateful for the comfortable ride ahead. As we began to move, I settled in and focused on my surroundings. Despite my lack of sight, I could sense the beauty of the countryside around me - the sound of birds chirping, the feel of the cool breeze on my face.
...
On the outskirts of Heaven Duo Royal City, two figures stood in the shadow of a towering tree. The taller figure, known only as Ci Xue, asked his companion, 'Did you block everything?'
She Long, a Titled Douluo - Rank 92 , nodded gravely. 'I already blocked everything as you asked,' he replied. 'But how did this happen to our young master?'
Ci Xue face was grim. 'I do not know. But we cannot let this news reach the ears of the Grand Priest or the Pope. Our young master has promised us protection, and we must honor that promise.'
She Long frowned. 'But how long can we keep this hidden? Eventually, the truth will come out. 'Ci Xue expression hardened. 'We will find a way. Our young master's safety and reputation are at stake. We must be vigilant and protect him at all costs.'
The two soul masters fell into a tense silence, the gravity of the situation weighing heavily upon them.
