Chapter 119

The Third Trial: Soul Trial Lin Yu and his two companions, filled with apprehension about the unknown, followed the slowly opening passage and stepped into a space enveloped in a strange glow. At first glance, this space was not large; its four walls radiated a soft and mesmerizing halo. Yet beneath this seemingly calm exterior lurked a deep-seated stillness that chilled one to the bone, as if time and space had frozen here. However, this tranquility was far from peaceful; instead, it resembled the dead silence before a storm, concealing endless crises. Just as they had steadied themselves, a line of glowing text suddenly materialized in the air. The characters were ancient and mysterious, as if carved from the depths of time: "The third trial: Soul Trial. Face your inner fears and break through your own limits." The moment they saw these words, the color drained from their faces, turning as pale as frost, looking as heavy as if water could drip from them. The Soul Trial—these four words acted like a heavy shackle, meaning they had to delve into their inner worlds without reservation to confront those fears buried deep in their hearts, fears they were reluctant to touch even lightly.
