[Ding! "Lone Wolf" detected carrying an "unknown scroll." Do you wish to accept Hou Yi's summons and begin the trial?]
"Accept!" Su Yue said, watching the "unknown scroll" in his hand gradually disappear.
[The "Lone Wolf" has accepted Hou Yi's summons and is about to begin his trials!]
Then, the world before Su Yue's eyes turned from white to blue, and he subconsciously closed his eyes.
He felt himself getting lighter and lighter, as if he were floating in the air.
A halo of light flashed, and he opened his eyes again, finding himself standing on a platform in mid-air.
The stone path beneath our feet stretches straight ahead, ending in a series of mysterious stone gates.
The first panel is red, the second is gold, and the third is black, just like Hou Yi's three states: human, god, and ghost.
This is somewhat similar to the environment Su Yue was in when he awakened his hidden class, but it is not entirely the same.
Previously, when Su Yue awakened as a Necromancer, he only had a black stone door.
You can obtain the job change scroll by completing just one trial.
A chilling thought popped into Su Yue's mind: Could it be that this job change quest requires passing three trials?
Since we're here, let's make the best of it.
Without hesitation, Su Yue walked forward and placed his hand on the first bright red "Gate of Man" stone door.
In an instant, he received messages simultaneously in his ear and on the panel of his bracelet:
[Congratulations to survivor "Lone Wolf" for successfully starting Hou Yi's first trial.]
[First Trial: The Hero Who Shot the Sun]
Trial Description: Hou Yi was a majestic archer wielding a red divine bow. He underwent trials spanning a thousand years, honing not only his superb archery skills but also forging an unwavering will. Long ago, he assisted Emperor Yao, single-handedly shooting down nine suns, restoring life to the earth.
Trial Requirements: In this mysterious trial, you must emulate Hou Yi and use the temporary equipment "Sun-Shooting Bow" to shoot down nine suns, but leave one sun in the sky to maintain the light of the earth.
Trial restrictions: All equipment and skills will be disabled; you must rely solely on your archery skills and wisdom to pass this challenge.
Trial Rewards: Sun-Shooting Bow (temporary equipment), Job Change Fragment *1.
Trial Time Limit: No time limit. However, please remember that time inside the instance is different from time outside.
Trial penalty: If you fail to complete this trial, you will be trapped here forever and unable to return to the real world.
Su Yue was somewhat bewildered; the information released by the system this time was completely different from what he had experienced in his previous life.
In my previous life, when I completed the "Necromancer" challenge, it was similar to a tower defense-style trial.
This trial had no restrictions on equipment or skills. He failed hundreds of times, but eventually succeeded in completing it.
According to the system's description, this trial has many restrictions, which makes Su Yue somewhat troubled.
Su Yue slowly pushed open the stone door, and the scene before him immediately changed.
He found himself standing on a meadow at dawn, surrounded by a light morning mist.
The grassland was a withered yellow color, and due to the fog, Su Yue could not see the details clearly.
However, he could clearly feel the dryness of the ground, and with each step he took, he could hear the crisp sound of the withered grass being crushed.
On his back appeared the legendary divine bow and arrow—the Sun-Shooting Bow.
Ahead, a group of people were walking unsteadily. Their figures looked particularly thin and tired in the light of dawn, like a group of listless ghosts.
Su Yue immediately chased after them, but unexpectedly they spoke first.
"Yi, we're almost there!"
"You said that the highest mountain on the East China Sea is right ahead!"
"Your archery skills are unparalleled, you hit the bullseye every time, you are our last hope!"
Su Yue frowned slightly, only then noticing that he had transformed into the appearance of "Hou Yi".
After some conversation, Su Yue gradually realized that the structure of this trial was exactly the same as the story that had been passed down for thousands of years.
Far to the east, in the deep sea, stands a magical tree called Fusang.
What makes this tree special is that ten three-legged crows perch on its branches; they are what people call the sun.
These ten suns follow a regular pattern, rotating once a day, bringing light and warmth to all things in heaven and earth, and maintaining harmony in the world.
However, the repetitive work day after day made the ten suns feel bored.
Eager to experience new adventures, they decided to travel the skies together.
However, this decision had unexpected consequences.
Ten suns shone in the sky at the same time, causing the earth to suffer from unprecedented heat.
The forests were scorched, the land became parched, and crops withered under the blazing sun.
After an unknown amount of time, Su Yue finally arrived at the East China Sea.
He climbed a majestic mountain, at the foot of which lay the boundless sea.
Looking down at the crowd behind me, I saw them excitedly pointing east and shouting, "Look, the sun! The sun is rising!"
At that very moment, ten suns simultaneously leaped above the sea level, frolicking merrily in the sky, yet bringing a devastating catastrophe to the land of China.
The temperature suddenly rose, and the earth emitted a dark red glow, like charcoal just taken from a blazing stove.
[Ding! Trial countdown: 5 minutes remaining. Failure will restart the trial!]
Su Yue gripped the Sun-Shooting Bow tightly. The scene before him twisted and distorted, as if the whole world was gradually disappearing in the rising steam.
The red bow and arrow in his hand began to transform, and the entire bow and arrow were enveloped in golden light.
