Chen Zhou nodded slightly, indicating that he understood, and immediately prepared to turn to the next page of the scarlet scroll with his mind. Just as Chen Zhou's mind turned the page, he encountered an obstacle. The scarlet scroll immediately shone brightly, and a character composed of red true energy appeared in front of Chen Zhou.

"The trial begins."

These four large characters, formed from red true energy, appeared before Chen Zhou's eyes. Chen Zhou tried to touch them, but he couldn't reach them at all; they seemed illusory. Chen Zhou didn't know how much time had passed when crimson lines immediately emerged from the scarlet scroll and began to rush towards various parts of Chen Zhou's body.

These red lines extended directly to every muscle in Chen Zhou's body, adhering to it. Chen Zhou tried to resist with his true energy, but although his true energy had a suppressive effect on the scarlet true energy, this suppressive effect was now useless! The scarlet true energy was too strong! Chen Zhou felt that the power of the scarlet true energy was only stronger than that of his own true energy.

In other words, these were streams of true energy channeled into the scarlet scroll by a Golden Core stage expert.

For every second this true energy entered Chen Zhou's body, Chen Zhou suffered. As soon as the scarlet thread connected to Chen Zhou's muscles, they quickly tightened and began to twitch! Chen Zhou could clearly feel the true energy pulling at his muscles!

Chen Zhou felt distinct waves of pain emanating from all the muscles in his body.

Although Chen Zhou's empathy wasn't very strong yet, the pain was particularly clear and was even intensifying!

Just as the pain intensified, streams of crimson true energy surged forth from within the crimson scroll, their target being Chen Zhou's dantian.
