Chapter 67: The Test Begins
“Is the Acting Patriarch Feng blaming me?” Leng Ruoxue said with a faint smile.
“Uh, why would you say that?” Feng Xiao said with a blank face.
“Because the trouble in the Heavenly Phoenix Academy began with me!” Leng Ruoxue said with a light smile. This is from NôvelDrama.Org.
“Uh… I-I really didn’t know!” In fact, Feng Xiao had just returned from elsewhere today, so Feng Qingran hadn’t had the chance to tell him everything clearly. He hurried over when he heard the steward report that Feng Moran was back. Feng Aoran was also ‘imprisoned’ in his name by Feng Qingran, but he couldn’t undermine his son in front of outsiders!
!!
“You know now. I hope Feng Aoran can go to the academy tomorrow. The selection test is about to begin. It is a critical time, and he’s not allowed to miss it,” Leng Ruoxue said coldly.
“Big Brother Feng, stay at home and accompany Aoran. We’ll be leaving first.” Then Leng Ruoxue left with Ye Chen.
Feng Xiao was so angry seeing Leng Ruoxue leave without even saying goodbye to him. Hmph, how dare a simpleton ignore me. However, he wasn’t the real patriarch of the Feng family yet, so he didn’t dare to do anything to Leng Ruoxue even if he was angry. Otherwise, the old antiques in the family wouldn’t spare him if he offended General Leng.
…
On the day of the test, Leng Ruoxue and the others arrived early at the Sacred Hall to prepare for it. Soon, the students taking the test came one after another.
“Miss, everyone is here,” Lin Yuan reported to Leng Ruoxue after counting the number of people.
Leng Ruoxue nodded and looked at the more than two hundred people in front of her.
“Today’s test is very simple. As long as you enter this room and can come out within the stipulated time, you will pass,” Leng Ruoxue said.
After hearing this, the two hundred plus people present, including Feng Da and the others, were stunned for a moment. What kind of test is this? At first, they all thought that they would at least carry out battles to decide the winners and losers even if they didn’t test their aptitude. But unexpectedly, they only needed to enter this room.
“Xue’er, what are you testing them on?” Feng Moran couldn’t help asking while watching them enter the room one by one. They had set up this room early in the morning, but they still didn’t know what it was for.
“Character. I don’t want to be taken advantage of by any ingrates,” Leng Ruoxue explained.
“What’s inside then?” Feng Moran asked curiously. Character was indeed very important, and he also knew that many of the people who registered this time were descendants of noble families. As a member of a noble family as well, he knew very well what their mission was. Thus, he actually didn’t want those people to pass the test, and he was also afraid of bringing trouble and danger to Xue’er.
“Heart Refining Illusion Array!” Leng Ruoxue said. In this room was an illusion array that tested people’s temperament. She had learned it in the Heaven Defying Art, and it could be used to test people’s character. But the illusion array in the Heaven Defying Art was very complicated and profound. If she used the actual one, no one present would be able to pass, so she slightly modified the illusion
array. The current one in the room was the illusion array she had modified, which was just right to test these people.
“…”
“Big Brother Feng, do you want to go in and experience it?” Leng Ruoxue looked at the dazed Feng Moran mischievously.
“Okay, I’ll go in and take a look,” Feng Moran said eagerly and walked in directly after speaking. He really didn’t know what an illusion array was.
“Anyone else who wants to enter can enter!” Leng Ruoxue said.
After hearing this, Feng Da and the others all walked in curiously, wanting to experience the illusion array mentioned by their young lady.
“Aren’t you going in?” Leng Ruoxue asked curiously when she saw that everyone else had entered to try except for Ye Chen and Mu Li, who were clearly not interested.
“Not interested,” Ye Chen said indifferently.
“Me neither,” Mu Li said.
Leng Ruoxue glanced at them expectantly and then fell silent. The three of them stood quietly at the entrance and waited.
Feng Moran walked into the illusion array. At first, the entire array was a vast expanse of white. Slowly, scenes began to appear around him. He seemed to have returned to his childhood, from the moment he took the aptitude test, from being the favored eldest son of the main branch of the Feng family to the
useless eldest son of the Feng family, from when he left home to when he met Xue’er in the Illusionary Forest, and so on. All these scenes replayed like a movie… More scenes appeared immediately after…
If there were anyone else by his side, they would see that Feng Moran was in pain. His forehead was full of sweat, and his face was occasionally full of hatred. But as time passed, his expression became calmer and more composed, and his will became more resolute…
“Xue’er, aren’t you worried at all that they’ve gone in?” Ye Chen couldn’t help asking after waiting for a while.
“What’s there to worry about? I trust my judgment,” Leng Ruoxue said confidently.
Half an hour later, Feng Moran was the first to emerge. He looked slightly disheveled, but his complexion was not too bad.
“Big Brother Feng, congratulations. You are the first person to come out” Leng Ruoxue smiled gently.
“Xue’er, inside…” Feng Moran was even more clear-headed after coming out, as though he had been reborn, and his willpower became more resolute.
“It feels pretty good, doesn’t it?” Leng Ruoxue said expectantly. Anyone who successfully walked out of the illusion array would experience a mental advancement that would be more beneficial for their future cultivation.
“Yes, Xue’er, it’s amazing!” Feng Moran exclaimed. The feeling of being there in person was too real.
“Big Brother Feng, anyone who can successfully emerge from the illusion will have faster cultivation in the future, especially in terms of their mental state,” Leng Ruoxue explained. The illusion array would automatically adjust according to people’s growth experiences, so each person would face different illusions. However, no matter what illusion they faced, it would infinitely magnify the darkness in their
hearts. If they could break through the darkness in their hearts, their future achievements would be limitless.
