The so-called test of one's character should be in that moment of pause.
Xiang Sheng had some guesses in his mind, and without hesitation, he stepped into the river.
Wow——
The water rippled, and Xiang Sheng's feet sank slightly, then he stood firm. Apart from the steam blowing in his face, nothing else happened.
Why is she different from others?
Xiang Sheng frowned slightly and took another step forward, but still nothing happened.
Step 3.
Xiang Sheng was in a daze for a moment, and suddenly felt a gust of wind on her face. She subconsciously stretched out her hand to block it, but her hand seemed to be too short and could not block it.
Bang!
A blood-red mark appeared on the dirty, fair little face. Before Xiang Sheng could see the face clearly, the bench under his butt was kicked away.
With a bang, she fell to the ground, and her palm was covered with blood.
She looked up blankly at the circle of tall faces surrounding her, and her childhood memories that had been buried for many years suddenly came to her mind.
Is this... a welfare home?
"Are you scared silly?"
A little girl who looked about ten years old laughed, her smile was hideous, "New here, we asked you to wash the dishes for us, but you were lazy!"
"It's all your fault that we got scolded by the dean!"
"Hit her!"
"Beat her to death!"
“…”
Fists rained down like raindrops. Xiang Sheng hugged his head and said nothing.
Distant memories gradually return and overlap with the scene before my eyes.
This was the first time she was beaten as a child.
Memories became illusions.
Xiang Sheng understood what was going on, his eyes turned cold, and he suddenly jumped up and bit one of the men's arms.
"ah!"
The child screamed and the picture suddenly shattered.
Wow——
The sound of water echoed in his ears again. Xiang Sheng opened his eyes and looked at the hazy mist around him, as if it had become a thicker layer. Even the figure closest to him could not be seen clearly.
She stood there, her eyes clear.
After practicing "Absolute Death" to the second level, her physical condition improved again, the speed of the demon's true essence erosion decreased a lot, and her five senses became much sharper.
Although it was only a slight feeling, she could still sense that her mind had become lighter.
"Remove the dross and retain the essence."
Xiang Sheng murmured to himself, as if lost in thought. This Weak Water River was not only a test, but also a wonderful place for spiritual cultivation.
Her mind was full of thoughts.
The demon who took over Xiang Hongyu's body arrived here several hours in advance and must have walked very far.
Although Lin Beilan's words made sense, he overlooked one thing.
This demon had been able to open the entrance to the second level ahead of time, so he likely had a long-standing connection with Siji City. Faced with so many obstacles, how could he not have made preparations? Her blind pursuit would only put her in deep trouble.
Moreover, after taking over another's body, this person did not hide away to recover his own cultivation, but instead came here to wade into the muddy water. He must have some ulterior motive, and what he wanted was in the Four Extremes Secret Realm.
Based on this calculation, this demon will not leave easily before the test of the Four Extreme Secret Realms is over.
The restlessness in Xiang Sheng's eyes eased a little.
She was in no hurry to find the demon. Firstly, she wasn't sure she could catch him; secondly, even if she did, she wasn't sure she could deal with him.
If the attack missed, he would either die or be slyly escaped like this time.
For Xiang Sheng, both of these results are dead ends.
After clearing his mind, Xiang Sheng calmed down and took another step forward.
The same childhood illusion, but this time it was of the original owner of the cultivation world.
Xiang Sheng watched it calmly, then smashed it with a palm and moved on to the next step.
From then on, Xiang Sheng took one step after another, and each step represented a series of obstacles in his previous life.
The difficulty of surviving as an adult, the loneliness of being alone...
Xiang Sheng was like a bystander, watching as he gradually separated himself from the suffering of his past life. After several deep-seated mental illnesses were lifted, his entire aura became a little lighter, no longer gloomy.
After absorbing the benefits brought by the illusion once again, Xiang Sheng exhaled lightly, his expression calm, and continued to take a step forward.
This step was no different from the previous ones, but Xiang Sheng immediately felt an unusual chill.
However, she soon forgot about this strange feeling.
Inside the multi-person ward, the winter sun shines in through the window, bringing some warmth.
The ward was a cheap eight-person room, filled with the constant sound of conversations between family members and caregivers. Xiang Sheng couldn't sleep anymore, so he opened his eyes.
The glaring sunlight made her raise her hand to block her eyes, but this move pulled the IV tube, causing pain on the back of her hand.
She hissed softly, sat up slightly, looked at the IV needle and bruises on the back of her hand, and frowned slightly.
She seemed to have forgotten something.
