Chapter 518: Special Firey
“Continue with the test?”
Himl Soan was shocked. Was that nine-headed monster only part of the test?
“You’ve defeated that monster, which ans you’re qualified to take the test. I forgot who set that rule, but I do rember my job. I’m here to guide the qualified candidates to the next step,” explained Leela as if they could read Himl Soan’s mind.
Himl Soan was surprised. As it turned out, the whole thing was more complicated than he expected.
Defeating the nine-headed monster wasn’t even part of the test. It was only the entrance requirent.
He couldn’t help but wonder how difficult the test would be since that monster was already so hard to defeat.
“Would you like to continue, or do you want to stop?” Leela asked again.
“What will I gain from the test?”
That was the most important question for Himl Soan.
He didn’t ask who designed the test.
Leela had said they didn’t know who set the rules. Himl Soan feared that if he pressed Leela, they would fall into that frantic state again.
“I can’t rember. I only know you’ll receive the most generous reward, so much so that it’ll even lead you to beco the most powerful being in the world.”
“I’m in!” Himl Soan said yes without hesitation.
His goal was to beco the most powerful person so that he could go anywhere he wanted without being stopped by anyone or anything.
“I have a request.” Himl Soan glanced at Firey and asked hesitantly, “Does Firey have to take the test too?”
Firey was his only concern. He had personally experienced the formidable power of the nine-headed monster. He could deduce that the test would be dangerous and ruthless.
If he hadn’t defeated that monster, he would have been killed, and no one would have co to his rescue.
The designer of the test wanted to use this rciless thod to train the candidates. Himl Soan couldn’t imagine what would happen if Firey couldn’t withstand the challenge.
“No, she doesn’t have to. If she isn’t participating, she should leave the multi-space.”
There were no other options. She had to either take the test or leave.
“I’m not leaving!” Firey shook her head, unwilling to leave.
“Firey, be a good girl and wait for outside. I’ll find you as soon as I complete the test.”
Himl Soan tried to persuade Firey.
She had always followed his instructions. To his surprise, she stubbornly rejected him this ti.
“No, Master, I’ll never leave you! I’m worried about you!” She grabbed Himl Soan’s arm so that he wouldn’t send her away by force.
“It’s too dangerous here!” Himl Soan said sternly.
“That’s why I can’t leave. I can’t let you face the danger all by yourself.” Firey insisted.
“Master, let stay here with you. I have a feeling this is very important to , too. I can’t leave. With by your side, your life won’t be in danger,” Firey whispered in Himl Soan’s ear.
What she said got Himl Soan thinking. So ideas were forming in his mind.
He didn’t discover this multi-space. Rather, Firey heard the calling and stumbled upon it.
Not only that, but after the nine-headed monster ca off the wall, it acted as if Firey didn’t exist and only attacked Himl Soan.
Everything pointed to the fact that Firey was receiving special treatnt from the multi-space.
Himl Soan suspected he wasn’t given access to the multi-space and only got in because he was accompanied by Firey.
If that were the case, maybe Firey wouldn’t be in any danger.
“Master…” Firey tugged at his sleeve.
“Leela, can soone leave the test before they complete it?” Himl Soan asked.
“There are five parts to this test. After each part, you get to choose whether to continue or to leave. However, you only have one chance to take this test. If you fail but survive the test, you can’t take it again.”
Himl Soan nodded.
“Alright. You can co to the test with , but if things get too dangerous, you must leave right away. If you don’t agree, you’ll have to leave and never return,” Himl Soan told Firey.
Hearing that one could back out in the middle of the test made him feel less concerned. Firey would be safe if she followed the instructions and left this place.
“Thank you, Master.” Firey bead at Himl Soan.
“Let’s go…:
Before he could say anything else, he heard Leela’s voice in his head. “She can leave at any mont, but you can’t!”
Himl Soan looked around and saw that Firey didn’t seem startled. He was certain that only he could hear those words.
“What do you an?” Himl Soan asked in his mind.
He believed Leela could hear him.
He was right. Leela soon replied, “I don’t know why, but she gives a familiar feeling. I know she has the right to leave this place.
“As for you, I lied. Once you enter the test, you can only pass it or die in the process. You can’t leave in the middle of it. I’ll give you so ti to think about it.”
It seed Leela wanted Firey to take the test, but Himl Soan couldn’t tell if that was the result of the familiar feeling or if there was another reason.
To keep Firey here, Leela would even tell lies.
The test was more ruthless than Himl Soan imagined. He would die if he couldn’t pass it.
“Why are you telling this now?” Himl Soan asked in his mind.
“That’s part of the rules. I must make sure all candidates know what they’re facing. You’ll make a choice on your own. I can’t force you to do anything. It’s not the sa case with the girl.”
Leela’s voice sounded like a thunderclap in Himl Soan’s mind.
“I’m in!”
To Leela’s surprise, Himl Soan made the decision without hesitation.
It concerned his life and death, and Leela expected him to waver. However, he was more decisive than Leela expected.
“I have high hopes for you. I rember I was told if a cultivator wanted to reach the top, the essential thing they must have is a dauntless heart. They had to remain confident even if the sky fell on their heads.”
