"Brat, go and die!"
Although the old man was confused as to how a weak person like Alex was able to break his maze formation, he didn't think too much. He could still feel the aura of his poisonous herbs on Alex's body. He was sure that it is Alex who stole his poisonous herbs.
So, without thinking too much, he directly attacked.
Alex was shocked. He knew there is no way he could block the incoming attack, but he has to try no matter what. Just as he was about to take out the Heavy Earth Sword again, a light flashed in the distance, and in the next instant, it was already in front of Alex, blocking the old man's attack.
Bang!
A dull sound exploded in the air as the old man was forced to retreat a few steps.
Alex looked at the person that blocked the old man's attack carefully. He also wanted to know who his savior it, however, for so reason, he find out that he knew this person sohow. It was as if this person has always existed deep inside his mories. This person's na also suddenly appeared in his mind.
Ivaan Arya!
"If you want to kill the disciple of my Mystical Peak, you have to pass through , Ivaan Arya." A tyrannical aura burst out from Ivaan Arya's body, causing the old man's expressions to change.
Alex did not expect that the person who would stand in his way at such a crucial mont would be Ivaan Arya. In truth, in his unfamiliar yet familiar mories, the two of them co from the sa powerful sect. This sect is very big and both of them are just outer court disciples. However, Ivaan Arya is much more powerful than him. The sect they are in has ten peaks in total. And both of them co from a peak called the Mystical Peak.
In his mories, ever since they had left the Mystical Peak, the two of them had not interacted much and had not spoken more than ten sentences to each other.
Alex was now sure of one thing. This is not his body. He has sohow possessed another person's body. He didn't if all of these are just illusions, but the mories that suddenly appeared in his mind are too real.
While Ivaan was confronting the old man, he started sorting out the mories that suddenly appeared in his mind, and soon, he beco aware of everything. According to his mories, the original owner of this body was also called Alex which surprised him greatly.
"Am I really taking a trial right now? What kind of trial made possess soone else's body? And... How can I go back to my own body?"
Alex was puzzled and very confused. However, right now, he could do nothing. He could only walk and act along with the situation.
.....
_Stairway To Chaos_
Beside the pond which was once filled with Earthly Spirit Milk and was now just an empty pit, a young man was lying unconscious on the ground. This young man was none other than Alex, to be more accurate, Alex's true body.
Not far from Alex's body, a throne has sohow appeared, and there, a blurry figure could be seen sitting comfortably, looking above in the sky.
Changing the angle of view, one can see a huge water screen in the direction where Atticus was looking, floating in the sky. Inside this water screen, one can see a young man standing in a daze. In front of this young man was standing another young man who was confronting an old man.
When the young man, who was standing in a daze, suddenly had an eased expression on his face, a smile appeared on Atticus's face as he muttered in low voice, "This little guy, he really is different. He was able to calm down and accepted his current situation so soon, how interesting!"
"Young man, show what you got. I don't know who you were in your last life, but in this life, you'll definitely achieve greatness as long as you beco my disciple. However, becoming my disciple is not easy. You have to pass the trials I've set up eons ago. Every trial is far more dangerous than the other one. This is only the first trial, however, this trial can at least make you understand how difficult the other trials are going to be. You can be prepared for other trials."
"However, let see what you'll do now. I think you have already accepted your current situation. Show , what you got!"
While muttering, Atticus raised his hand and a sword appeared in a flash. This sword was none other than the Heavy Earth Sword.
Looking at this sword, Atticus smiled and again muttered, "For any martial warrior of this world, this sword can be considered the strongest sword they've ever seen. However, this sword is sealed, perfect for you to use with low cultivation. I gave you a chance to use this sword in the trial, but not anymore. You can only use an ordinary sword from now on."
Muttering this, he threw the sword at Alex's original body. The sword turned into a beam of light and entered Alex's spatial ring instantly.
.....
_Inside The Trial_
The old man clenched his fists and glared at Ivaan, saying: "This kid stole the poisonous herbs that I cultivated with great difficulty for years. Why wouldn't I settle the score with him? Could it be that your Mystical Peak wants to bully others with your power?"
"No matter how great the power of your Mystical Peak is, if you want to save this brat, you must give an explanation first."
"There's nothing to explain." Ivaan squinted his eyes and said. His attitude was extrely unyielding, "I don't care if he stole your herbs or not, even if he did, he'll compensate you for that. And if he can't compensate now, he'll compensate for his action in the future. But no matter what, you can't kill a disciple of my Mystical Peak!"
"You!"
Ivaan's words directly caused the old man to beco speechless. He could understand that Ivaan has no attachnt or affection for Alex. He was so protective of Alex was all for the sake of the Mystical Peak.
"Heh! Brother Ivaan sure has an arrogant tone."
An ear-piercing sound echoed suddenly, attracting the three people's attention. A young man slowly descended from the sky. This young man also seems to be on the sa level as Ivaan. Alex couldn't see through this young man's cultivation base, however, he was sure that the appearance of this young man ans trouble for him.
He understood this because of the mories of the previous owner of this body. The young man who suddenly appeared was called Aaban Nimit.
Aaban looked at Ivaan coldly, pointed at the old man behind him, and said, "That brat dared to steal herbs that an elder of my Hundred Poison Sect has cultivated with great difficulty. Although he is just an outdoor elder, no one can bully him since he belongs to my Hundred Poison Sect. Others might be afraid of your Mystical Peak since it is one of the branches of 'that' sect, but my Hundred Poison Sect is not afraid. I also don't care. You have to give an explanation!"
"As I said before, there is no explanation. I never said that he didn't do any wrong. I also said that he'll compensate for the loss that this outdoor elder of your Hundred Poison Sect has suffered, if not now then in the future. I'm giving my words, you should know well Aaban. The thing that I say is not baseless words."
Aaban snorted and said, "Of course, I know you well. However, I also know that brat well. He is a cunning guy who likes to ddle in others' affairs in order to take advantage of them. Ask him, why does he break one of the hands of my little brother? Can he also compensate for that?"
Ivaan frowned and looked at Alex. Alex lowered his head in embarrassnt. He was not wrong, but who told him to possess this body. He knew very well what the owner of this body has done previously and how many people he has offended. Now the original owner was not here and he was caught in the fire.
He couldn't explain anything to Ivaan.
Could he say that he is not the one who broke the hand of Aaban's little brother but it was the previous owner of this body who is now nowhere to be seen for so reason?
He could only lower his head helplessly.
When Ivaan saw this, he took a deep breath. He knew this junior brother of his is a troublemaker.
Taking a deep breath, he said, "My Mystical Peak is not unfair. Since he broke the hand of your little brother, you can break his!"
What?
Alex raised his head in surprise and looked at Ivaan. He thought Ivaan will protect him since both of them belong to the sa peak. However, he never thought Ivaan to be so upright!
