This was the entrance to the Pill Realm.
The clearing was a spatial waystation forcibly constructed by the Pill Tower's experts, so the surrounding space was severely warped.
Xiao Yu stepped onto the clearing, casually surveyed his surroundings, then approached a Spatial Passage at its far end.
A chair stood there, specially prepared for Xiao Yu by the Pill Tower.
Taking a large sheet of paper from his Storage Ring, Xiao Yu wrote and drew on it with his soul power before hanging it beside the Spatial Passage.
Once everything was done, Xiao Yu settled comfortably into the chair, closed his eyes to rest, and began waiting for those who had passed the first trial to arrive.
"Fuck, that Soul Illusion Realm was a real pain in the ass! It actually showed all the embarrassing shit I did as a kid!"
Before long, a Bald Strongman emerged from a Spatial Passage, cursing all the way.
His upper body was bare, his muscles bulging. He looked fierce, with a positively vicious face.
"Hah, ptui! Goddamn it."
Rubbing his bald head, the strongman walked into the clearing and surveyed the spatial waystation. Realizing he was the first to arrive, he could not help looking smug.
His gaze roamed before finally settling on a Spatial Passage some distance ahead, where a young man was leisurely sleeping in a chair.
"Motherfucker, who's this little bastard? He actually got here faster than me."
Seeing that someone had arrived before him soured the Bald Strongman's mood. Cursing under his breath, he charged toward the Spatial Passage ahead.
He intended to teach this fellow a lesson. There was no reason for it-he was simply annoyed.
When he came within a hundred meters of the young man, he finally took in every detail of his appearance.
"Uh...?"
