âYou still have to go through it, of course,â the old man said. âThe first trial doesnât only verify if you can
pass, but it will also force yourself to achieve the refined will. One-tenth of Heavenly Emperor Genbuâs
willpower shouldnât be your limit. Your goal should be even higher and farther to the point of surpassing
Heavenly Emperor Genbu.â
Jordan looked at the people lying on the ground around him. âWhat would happen if I were to fail the
trial?â
Jordan
Alex
âDonât worry. If you fail, they wonât be harmed,â the old man said. âInstead, their willpower will be
enhanced. Hence, some trialists will come for the second time after failing. That said, one only has two
chances of going through the trial in a lifetime. So, you should cherish it. The higher your score, the
more rewards you will obtain.â
Buzz!
At that moment, a pair of huge pupils opened up in the sky above the statue. They were bloodshot.
Jordanâs heart skipped a beat as he subconsciously looked at them. The next second, his mind was
attracted by the strange eyes, and his consciousness dazed before entering a certain odd place.
Jordan
Alex
It was so dark that he could not see anything. Jordan reached out to touch the surroundings, but he
failed. He could not even feel his own body.
Jordan
Alex
âWhere is this?â
Just as this question arose in Jordanâs mind, an ancient voice rang in his ears. âWelcome to the trial
ground of the True Martial Shrine. You are a trialist here for the first time. As for this timeâs trial of
willpower, may I ask which difficulty you wish to proceed with?â
Jordan
Alex
Taken aback, Jordan said subconsciously, âDoes the trial have different levels of difficulty?â
Jordan
Alex
That voice replied, âThatâs right. They are normal, hard, and hell.â
Jordan was startled again. âYou can actually talk? Who are you? The True Martial Starlord?â
Jordan
Alex
âWho am I? Iâm not the True Martial Starlord. I used to be part of the True Martial Starlordâs soul that
was divided into millions.â
Jordan was slightly shocked.
Jordan
Alex
However, he still asked the voice with caution. This time, he asked about the differences among the
three difficulty levels. The answer Jordan acquired was that the rewards were different. When Jordan
asked the voice what the specific rewards were, it refused to elaborate⦠It implied that he could obtain
more generous rewards in accordance with his score.

Alex
Jordan
Alex
âThen, what are the specific differences among the three levels of difficulty? You can tell me.â
âNo, I canât.â
âD*mn itâ¦â
âBut what I can tell you is that after passing the test of willpower on hell difficulty, you will truly obtain
rewards from the True Martial Starlord! The rewards from the other levels of difficulty, in fact, can only
be regarded as consolation! I can, however, sense that you possess the aura of that former successful
trialist, so I strongly recommend you go for the âhellâ level. Otherwise, even I will despise you.â
âNow, thatâ¦â
To his surprise, the examiner of the trial grounds had feelings.
Since the examiner had said so, Jordan made up his mind. âDeal. Iâll take the âhellâ level.â
Jordan
Alex
The examinerâs voice emanated exaltation. âVery well! I wish you success! For the test of willpower on
âhellâ level, the mission is to stay alive and kill 99,999 abyssal demon beasts.â
âHoly crap! That many? Iâll be dead before I kill them all!â
âA gentle reminder. Each abyssal demon beast possesses the same combat power as yours.â
âWhat did you say?â
âThe examiner is joking, wasnâ t be?â
How could Jordan possibly pass the trial on that kind of difficulty?
Jordan
Alex
Fortunately, since he would be fine if he failed, he would simply treat it like a game and play it.
However, that voice could be heard again. âSince you have inherited part of the will of the last
successful trialist, you canât quit halfway. The penalty of forfeiting the trial is obliteration.â
âWhat did you say? What sort of obliteration?â Jordan was shocked.
Jordan
Alex
âYouâd be dead in reality.â
