About five hundred entered through the energy door of the pagoda. William and his group were among them.
William felt an oppressing aura the moment he took a step inside. He found himself all alone inside a dark space.
A female voice was chimed in his head.
"State your name and age?"
"William Drake of Red Dragon Kingdom. Age 16."
He felt a chilling aura seeping through his bone and disappeared.
"You're indeed 16 years old. So, you're qualify to participate in the trial of fate. I'll dictates some rules and conditions of this trials."
The voice added, "The red pagoda is one of the millions of replica of the Divine Armament. It has ten floor. You're currently in the first floor. The process of this trial was for you to ascend the steps and reached the higher floors. The higher you ascend you will gain higher and more rewards. As for ascending the floors, it was for you to figure out."
The next thing he was teleported out and saw the sea of people already taking three or four steps.
The pressure of the room was great. Some of them vomited blood and some collapsed. Naturally, they were teleported out after the failure.
William approached and took a step upward. Suddenly, the strong pressure increased. He then sat down and closed his eyes as did by everyone around.
They were comprehending the law which was imbued to the step.
William adjusted his breathing first and began to study the law surrounding the area.
On that step they were over five hundred people sitting and studying the law.
From time to time, someone would vomit blood and expelled from the building.
Just as William began analyzing the law, he had no idea how to begin with.
Others clearly used the Qi inside their dantian to interact with the law outside and began their study to understand the law.
What should I do? This question kept popping in his mind.
Although he was the number one assassin in previous life, he had no clue how to comprehend the law.
"Little mouse! What are you waiting for? This is a very good opportunity for you. Why don't you use your spiritual Ki energy to comprehend them." The old dragon instructed.
For Qi cultivator, they used meridian and stored the Qi they refined inside their dantian region which was slightly behind the tummy region.
Whereas for a spiritual body cultivator, they used another kind of energy called Ki using their spirit body foundation and store the energy to every cell of their body. The Ki was mostly concentrated in the heart region.
William weaved a series of hand seals as he adjusted his breathing and quickly drew out a misty red aura using the Ki in his heart and began to interact with the outside surrounding.
Now his outside body was covered with a thin film of Ki energy.
Just as he completed that step, his sensed multiplied and he felt the law of intent emitted on the very step.
"It was a wind intent." He muttered.
Shutting of the outside be began to study the wind intent he was surrounding and permeating through his body. He knew for one that they were too slippery and more like trying to catch air with bare hands. In order to comprehend the law, he had to pull the wind intent into his body.
Like that he began his research and at last he finally figure the essence of the wind intent and used his Ki energy to pull it inside his body, completely comprehending the small portion of the wind intent.
Just after he comprehended the wind intent, the pressure which was upon his body disappeared.
He smiled and took another step forward. Like before a weight pressed upon his body, stronger than in the first step.
He looked around to see that he was all alone on the second step. He didn't feel proud about that as if it was nothing. He sat down and began to comprehend again. It was another wind intent portion. He comprehended and absorbed it into his body.
As he was using the Spirit Ki to study the intent, the intent of wind he absorbed also didn't go to his dantian but to his heart.
Like that he continued to comprehend the following steps and all of them had their unique wind intent portions. The more he comprehended the more the intent of wind imprinted over his heart became profound and a marked appeared.
He reached the last steps of the first floor and before him was another visible energy wall. He had to passed through it if he wanted to ascend to the 2nd floor. He did comprehended all the intents on every steps of the first floor and they all were of wind elemental.
The more he learned the wind intent, he felt lighter as if he could walk on the air of may be fly in the air.
He reached out his hand and passed through the energy wall and a strong wind elemental law pushed his hand back.
"So, if I want to ascend to the next floor I have to use the wind intent to balance it. Good!" With a thought he infused the wind intent mark on his heart with Ki energy and a strong wind law began to appear out and covered his whole body. His body began to float and he walked through it.
Just as he passed the energy wall, outside people saw his name tagging to the second floor. He was the second person to ascend in this trial.
"Look! Someone just ascended to the second floor. And he was even faster than the lady who ascended the floor." A youth shouted.
"William Drake from Red Dragon Kingdom! Wow, another genius from out eastern ruin." Another added.
"The strange thing the first one— Lady Sally Saltimore is still in the 3rd floor and not being expelled yet. I'm hoping she could make a history by ascending another floor." This time it was tower Head Ferro who was speaking.
