Ye Xiao It feels like time is slowing down.
Every second feels like a year.
He didn't know how long it took - maybe minutes, maybe hours, maybe days.
Gradually, his consciousness began to blur, and his body was no longer his.
But he didn't fall.
"When your body can't bear it, your willpower will take you out of the siege!"
Moreover, the strong desire to survive has also become the fundamental driving force for Ye Xiao.
"I can't... can't die here!"
"It's so hard to travel through this life... It would be so sad if you died like this!"
"Besides, I still have such a wonderful life and future waiting for me to experience it!"
"There is also my father's revenge, and the kindness of those people to me, and whether I have anything to take revenge on!"
"How could I die here with so many things unfinished?"
"Ye Xiao! Grit your teeth! Hold on! As long as you don't die, you will eventually come forward!"
His feet were already bleeding.
I can't tell which part of my body was injured.
Blood mixed with sweat fell to the ground.
Only the resolute back of this young man walked alone in the darkness.
"So tired and sleepy."
"I can't lift my legs or straighten my waist."
"I really want to rest..."
Just when Ye Xiao was on the verge of collapse.
After he took who knows how many steps.
Finally.
He opened his eyelids with all his strength, looked up and saw a light within reach in front of him.
Ye Xiao stretched out his hand and finally grasped the light.
The next moment!
Light poured into Ye Xiao's body.
Wow!
Ye Xiao felt as if his body was being washed and purified by some kind of power.
His body was almost unable to hold on anymore.
But this moment.
All the stress suddenly stopped!
Not alleviate.
But completely disappeared!
Ye Xiao's body suddenly shook and he almost fell forward.
He steadied his body and gasped for air, sweat mixed with blood dripping from his face.
Although Ye Xiao is extremely embarrassed.
But he still had a smile on his face.
This feeling of comfort and relaxation in the body after experiencing gravity and then all gravity disappears.
It makes Ye Xiao feel extremely happy, with a sense of extreme dopamine secretion.
Besides that.
A streak of red light appeared on his [Path of the Strong].
Ye Xiao saw this and asked, "Is there any unexpected surprise?"
He quickly opened it to check.
[Indomitable Will! Martial God Trial-type achievements have been achieved! Reward [Indomitable Will I]: Willpower intensity: +5%!]
[Perseverance! Martial God Trial achievements have been achieved! [Indomitable Will I] upgraded to [Indomitable Will II]: willpower strength +10%!]
[Tenacity! Martial God Trial achievements have been achieved! [Indomitable Will II] upgraded to [Indomitable Will III]: willpower strength +15%!]
[Unyielding! Martial God Trial achievements have been achieved! [Indomitable Will III] upgraded to [Indomitable Will IV]: willpower strength +20%!]
[Facing Desperation! Martial God Trial achievements have been achieved! [Indomitable Will IV] upgraded to [Indomitable Will V (full level)]: Willpower strength +25%!]
After reading it, the smile on Ye Xiao's face became even brighter.
And, he still felt it.
My willpower is much stronger than before.
His concentration, sense of belief, persistence, etc. have improved a lot.
This means.
If Ye Xiao encounters anything that shakes his mind in the future.
The strength of his willpower will keep Ye Xiao's willpower from being shaken in any way.
Just then.
The voice sounded again.
"Yes, your body is not bad."
"You are better than them."
"I put down a reward for you, right in front of you."
Ye Xiao could see a new light hanging down one meter in front of him.
But this is a golden light, which represents "reward".
Ye Xiao didn't rush up to get it.
Because the other party hasn't finished speaking yet.
"You can take the reward now and go back the way you came. I won't stop you."
"Similarly, you can also continue to move forward and seal the rewards, but the price is that you must completely clear the trial to get all the rewards, and the final reward will be upgraded!"
Ye Xiao heard this and just wiped the blood on his face and answered without thinking.
"Go on!"
The moment the pressure disappears, a new test comes.
This time, the core content of the trial is not pain.
But a painful memory.
It was the deepest fear hidden in Ye Xiao's heart, which was forcibly pulled out by this trial and spread out in front of him.
He saw the monster.
Monsters and flames filled the sky, coming from all directions and surrounding him!
The fire is not an ordinary fire, it is a dark red, sulfur-smelling, magma fire coming from the depths of Red Abyss.
Every ball of fire is a powerful monster!
The flames licked his skin and burned his hair, but he felt no pain.
Because his attention is not on the fire.
He saw a man in the fire.
The man was wearing War Demon Armor, with his back to him, standing in the deepest part of the flames.
His clothes were burning, his hair was burning, but he didn't move.
All the monsters are besieging him.
He stood there like a statue looking down at the world.
In his eyes, he seemed to be contemptuous of everything!
"Dad!" Ye Xiao shouted.
The man didn't look back.
Ye Xiao wanted to rush over, but couldn't move his feet.
It's not that I'm tied up, it's that I'm afraid!
He was afraid of seeing that person's face, afraid of seeing that face burned by the flames, afraid of seeing those closed eyes.
The flames were getting closer, heat waves burning his skin.
Ye Xiao smelled the smell of his own burning hair, heard the crackling sound of the flames, and saw the man being swallowed up bit by bit by the flames.
He knew it was an illusion, but he couldn't move.
Because it wasn't a hallucination - it was a memory he would never forget.
Just then, the voice came.
"What are you afraid of?"
Ye Xiao's lips were trembling. "I'm afraid... I can't save him."
"He's dead."
"I know."
"Then why are you still afraid?"
Ye Xiao was silent for a long time.
Flames burned around him, and the man slowly fell in the fire.
He thought of that day - his father threw him out of the pile of monsters, but he stayed in it forever.
He remembered his father's last smile.
It's not a bitter smile, it's not despair, it's relief.
"Because I don't want to disappoint him." Ye Xiao's voice was soft but steady.
"Is he disappointed?"
Ye Xiao thought.
The last words his father said before he died were, "Xiao'er, live on! No matter what others say, live on and live a good life! Don't think about revenge for me! You have to live well! Live well!"
His original words were "Xiao'er, live on."
It's not "getting stronger", it's not "revenge", it's "survive".
In other words, he never asked Ye Xiao to become a strong man, and he never asked Ye Xiao to avenge him.
He just wants Ye Xiao to live.
Recalling this, Ye Xiao didn't know why, but his eyes suddenly became wet.
"He was not disappointed," he said.
"Then why are you still afraid?" the voice sounded.
"Because..." Ye Xiao took a deep breath, "Because I'm not just afraid of disappointing him."
"What I'm more afraid of is... that I won't be able to live the way he wants."
