Guan Yue finally emerged.
After three hours, or six hours in total, Guan Yue walked out of the Gravity Training Ground Trial Room One.
At this moment, he was covered in wounds, his body a mess of cuts and bruises, blood splattered all over him, his clothes tattered and torn, and he emanated a foul odor that could be sensed from a distance.
Since Guan Yue had not activated his Origin Energy, everyone was unaware that he had already reached the Entry mid-level cultivation.
Seeing Guan Yue in such a state, every student waiting outside felt a profound shock in their hearts. Lei Dazhuang, Marco, and Sima Xiaosa immediately rushed towards Guan Yue, overjoyed at his success.
Meanwhile, Ouyang Shaohua felt an inexplicable excitement. When she saw Guan Yue striding out of the Gravity Trial room with confidence, despite his disheveled appearance and the numerous wounds covering him, she was moved to tears. She sensed the true power of Willpower emanating from Guan Yue. She understood that if there was a real man at Qilin Academy, it was Guan Yue! This small boy represented an unyielding Willpower that should be learned by everyone at the academy!
She knew how difficult it was for someone as small as Guan Yue to endure a One Hundred Times Gravity. She herself had once suffered immensely under sixty times the pressure, crying uncontrollably. To overcome a One Hundred Times Gravity, one needed an extraordinary level of Willpower! And yet, Xuan Yuan Shuang Tian, who ranked first in the Tiger Lion Ranking, had only just managed to surpass seventy times gravity!
Moreover, at this moment, there was no trace of baby fat on Guan Yue's face; instead, there was a hint of masculine vigor that stirred something within Ouyang Shaohua!
At this moment, she had no regrets about coming to witness Guan Yue's challenge against the One Hundred Times Gravity, for she realized that she had found what she truly needed from today onward!
Everyone present was deeply moved. Although there were no loud cheers, their gazes were filled with respect for Guan Yue.
The crowd buzzed with discussions. Most were expressions of awe and admiration!
They would forever remember this day and a young boy named Guan Yue!
After bidding farewell to the onlookers, Guan Yue walked back to the dormitory with his roommate. On their way back, they encountered eleven people returning from the Gerson Mountain Range, including Ruo Yi and Wang Renwei. They were in high spirits because each of them had brought back some Peak Fire Essence. Both Zhang Hai and Yang Zun wore joyful expressions. However, when they looked at Guan Yue, there was a hint of pity in their eyes. They felt sorry for him because he hadn’t obtained any Peak Fire Essence!
Ruo Yi saw the disheveled Guan Yue walking back to the dormitory with Lei Dazhuang and another person. Upon seeing Guan Yue's miserable state, Piggy Face's face lit up with amusement. He laughed and said, "Oh dear, who beat up this little brat? No gains from the mountains, and now you’re getting beaten back at the academy. You look like you're done for. Keep getting beaten!" Ruo Yi's pig-like face also relaxed a bit, blooming with a smile.
Guan Yue glanced at Ruo Yi but completely ignored him, continuing to walk forward with Lei Dazhuang and the others.
At that moment, Wang Renwei’s round face was also beaming like a blooming flower. He continued to mock Guan Yue, saying, "Guan Yue, don’t think you’re safe just because you ran back to the academy; someone will still beat you up! Haha, one day I’ll make you kneel and beg for mercy."
Lei Dazhuang could no longer stand it. He spoke up to Wang Renwei, saying, "Stop talking nonsense here. If you have the guts, let’s see who comes out on top in the half-year assessment competition. Aren’t you tired of all this chatter?"
"Oh, look who’s getting tough now. It’s Lei Dazhuang, right? Fine, I’ll take care of you too. The half-year assessment is just that; we’ll compete then. You’ll be calling me ‘Master’ by the end!"
Wang Renwei and Ruo Yi stormed off angrily. They were eager to exchange their points since they had done well this time.
Guan Yue didn’t take Ruo Yi and Wang Renwei’s threats to heart; instead, he wanted to find an opportunity to teach these two arrogant guys a lesson. At that moment, he was only concerned about Xuan Yuan Shuang Tian.
As for Zhang Hai and Yang Zun returning, Guan Yue didn’t do anything out of line towards them; he simply treated them like air and completely ignored them. As long as they didn’t do anything disrespectful to their roommates again, Guan Yue didn’t want to make things difficult for them; after all, they were merely pests.
Zhang Hai and Yang Zun were clearly afraid of Guan Yue and adopted a respectful distance from him. However, their relationship with Wang Renwei grew increasingly close.
Since reaching the highest standard of One Hundred Times Gravity at the Gravity Training Ground, Guan Yue shifted his focus to the Illusory Array. The Illusory Array targets Mental Strength intensity, which was precisely Guan Yue's weakness. The Pufan Master had previously urged him to practice in this area more often. So he immediately applied for trial time in the Illusory Array.
The Illusory Array consists of three levels.
The first level is Mind Over Matter.
When Guan Yue appeared in the Illusory Array Trial Room, the supervising teacher was astonished. No freshman below the third year had ever dared to challenge the Illusory Array before. One must go through a series of knowledge acquisition and learning about illusion arrays before being allowed to enter for trials. It was quite normal for many students at Qilin Academy not to have entered the Illusory Array even after five years.
For such a small guy like Guan Yue to enter an illusion array? The supervising teacher repeatedly confirmed until he believed that Guan Yue had sufficient understanding of the Illusory Array before allowing him inside.
When Guan Yue first entered the first room of the Illusory Array, he was greeted by a series of ancient patterns, each unique and presenting different styles and meanings. By focusing on a particular pattern, one could enter the illusion set by that image, where their mental state would be evaluated. Successfully breaking free from the illusion twice in a row would mean passing the test.
Guan Yue noticed a highly futuristic pattern that resembled the technological world of his past life. After gazing at it for a while, he found himself immersed in his previous life. A completely realistic scene unfolded before him, so vivid that he could hardly distinguish it from reality; it was an absolutely authentic illusion!
Inside a High-Energy Bubble, Guan Yue was skillfully operating a computer. In the 30,000s of the Eastern Era, computers were entirely controlled by Consciousness. In that age, fingers had largely lost their purpose except for caressing loved ones. This High-Energy Bubble provided an incredibly comfortable experience, integrating various functions such as exercise, health care, diet, sleep, entertainment, enjoyment, audio-visual experiences, communication, transportation, security, safety, hygiene, and environmental control into one comprehensive product. It was far superior to amphibious vehicles or four-dimensional airships and even surpassed mecha police. However, Guan Yue sat inside the bubble feeling restless because the woman he deeply loved was cheating on him!
Through the 3D video feed, he could clearly see his lover disrobing seductively. Her gaze was alluring but directed at another handsome man—not him. This man had a magnetic voice and knew how to sweet-talk women into submission. He watched greedily as Guan Yue's lover continued to undress under his encouragement until she was completely bare.
Guan Yue had never realized how seductive his lover could be or how she could stir a man's desires so intensely. Seeing that unfamiliar yet adored man gently caressing her silky skin and her body that resembled rolling hills drove Guan Yue to madness! Especially with the look of infinite satisfaction on her face—the tender expression inviting anyone to take advantage—made his heart ache like it was being torn apart!
He didn't know what to do. Should he rush in and fight? Should he sever ties with her? Or should he report her to her family? Filled with boiling blood and fury, Guan Yue wanted nothing more than to kill those two betrayers!
His anger surged; unable to endure any longer, he lost all reason! He raised his sword with the intent to kill them without mercy!
And then he was ejected from the pattern!
Once outside, Guan Yue realized he had failed this trial!
In that situation, he had succumbed to failure. His spirit wasn't strong enough; he couldn't control his emotions.
After calming himself down, he turned his attention to another image—a depiction of a shattered landscape. After staring at it for some time, he found himself transported into that broken world.
This was a scene depicting the complete destruction of the Southern Source Empire due to war.
The Southern Source Empire lay in ruins after the conflict; chaos reigned everywhere. The suffering common people were particularly affected. Among the countless corpses scattered around were mostly those of civilians—many women and children among them.
In a very impoverished mountain village, much like the birthplace of Guan Yue, Duobo Town, it was filled with the scars of post-war trauma, with crowds of hungry people and displaced citizens everywhere.
Seeing this scene, Guan Yue felt immense pain in his heart. His heart was bleeding!
In such circumstances, there were still bandits roaming about. Indeed, a group of twelve bandits appeared in Guan Yue's line of sight. They specifically targeted the poor and weak suffering populace, searching for money from men and inspecting women for their bodies. They indiscriminately groped everyone, abusing and insulting the frail women and children. Guan Yue's blood boiled with rage. He immediately rushed out to confront the twelve-member gang.
Among those twelve, five were Disciples. They surrounded Guan Yue and engaged him in a fierce struggle.
After three hours of fighting, there was still no victor, and Guan Yue was thrown back!
Guan Yue became conscious of his failure in this trial!
The scheduled time had arrived, and today's trials were all over.
Returning to his dormitory, Guan Yue repeatedly pondered the meanings expressed in the two patterns he had encountered. He reflected on why he could not pass; the situation was quite simple—he could not control his emotions when faced with such circumstances.
This was not related to Willpower; it was connected to the mind! It pertained to psychological endurance and the ability to analyze and judge in specific situations. He recognized this as his weakness and knew he must confront this issue rather than evade it.
Guan Yue fell into deep thought.
The next day, Guan Yue returned to the Illusory Array. Since he had not passed the first stage yesterday, he could only start from the beginning again. He entered the room for selecting patterns once more.
This time, the patterns available for Guan Yue's selection were different from yesterday's, but he reminded himself to remain steadfast in maintaining his composure regardless of any situation.
Today, Guan Yue chose a pattern depicting an invasion from another realm. As soon as he entered this pattern, he was immediately swept up by the momentum of thousands of galloping horses, feeling his blood boil. He thought about standing shoulder to shoulder with the Southern Source Empire army to confront the invading enemy!
Learning from yesterday's lesson, Guan Yue first closed his eyes and focused on listening to the deafening sounds of hooves pounding, shouts, roars, curses, and cries around him.
Amidst the sounds echoing in his ears, Guan Yue gradually lost himself again. He opened his eyes, and anger shone brightly within them. Like a beast, he erupted with boundless power, ready to tear and fight with all his might.
Suddenly, a deep sigh resonated in Guan Yue's head. It was Gao Yuxin's voice.
Guan Yue was awakened. That single sigh made him feel utterly ashamed. If he couldn't even pass this small illusionary array, how could he face the ever-changing world?
After waking up, Guan Yue immediately focused all his energy, allowing his thoughts to operate at high speed while reinforcing his Nine Pulse Will. Under the influence of his powerful willpower, he forced himself into the battlefield, moving independently among thousands of troops. Even when enemy blades swung toward him, he did not flinch; even as enemies approached, he refused to retreat.
He finally conquered himself!
At that moment, he realized that within the illusionary array, he was fighting against himself—against his own habitual thinking.
Thus, he began to run across the vast battlefield, appearing wherever danger lurked and battles raged fiercely.
Gradually, Guan Yue felt his willpower becoming more resolute and his mental endurance growing stronger. As he witnessed the bloody slaughter around him and the flashes of blades where lives vanished in an instant, the shock and impact continuously tempered Guan Yue's mental strength.
Therefore, Guan Yue remained on the battlefield to enhance his mental resilience. Such opportunities were not easily come by.
Finally, he passed the first level of the Illusory Array. Guan Yue knew that if he could successfully pass all three levels, his mental strength would surely experience a significant breakthrough.
Guan Yue happily walked back to the dormitory when he encountered Teacher Zhong from the academy, who was showing several guests around. Among the guests, an elderly man with a notable age immediately spotted Guan Yue and showed great interest. "Young Teacher Zhong, is this boy also a new student?"
