Chapter 115 The trial is over
Startled by this sudden turn of events, Ye Chuxue turned pale and instinctively wanted to swing her sword in retaliation.
But to her utter horror, her body seemed to be bound by an invisible force, and she was completely unable to move.
Seeing this, the man's smile grew even brighter. He slowly extended a hand, his long, slender, and fair fingers gently lifting Ye Chuxue's delicate face, and said softly, "Don't be so nervous, little girl. After all, you are my heir."
"The heir?" Ye Chuxue stared wide-eyed at the man in front of her with a face full of suspicion, clearly confused and puzzled by what he said.
Just then, the man's smile vanished, and his expression turned serious. He extended his other hand, placing a finger against Ye Chuxue's smooth forehead, and solemnly said, "Watch carefully, girl, the method for using 'boundaries' should be like this..."
A vast amount of knowledge flooded into Ye Chuxue's mind like a tidal wave. The sheer volume of information caused her beautiful eyes to widen in astonishment and disbelief.
However, after a brief moment of shock, she slowly closed her eyes, as if to imprint this sudden influx of knowledge deep into her soul.
When Ye Chuxue opened her eyes again, the mysterious man had already vanished without a trace, like smoke.
Only his parting words echoed in her ears like a resounding bell: "Little girl, you must make good use of the power of the 'boundary,' for we will surely meet again in the future..."
"This disciple will humbly follow your teachings..." Ye Chuxue bowed slightly, her tone respectful and devout.
After straightening up, she turned her gaze to the tall, imposing, and motionless ice giant before her.
She moved gracefully and slowly toward the ice giant.
As she gradually approached the ice giant, a magical scene unfolded—the ice giant, which had stood as firm as a mountain, began to peel away like a blooming flower, its crystal-clear ice pieces gradually turning into countless tiny fragments that drifted away with the wind.
Gazing at this dreamlike scene, Ye Chuxue murmured to herself, "So that's how it is! This is the true secret of the 'realm'! Only by completely merging oneself into the 'realm' can one unleash its true power..."
……
Meanwhile, on the other side of the distance, Shi Yu and several others were running as fast as they could towards the distance, their figures appearing so small and fragile on the vast land.
Beside them, people from various countries were also fleeing in panic, their faces filled with fear and despair.
Behind this group of people, dozens of enormous ice giants followed closely with heavy steps. Each step they took caused the ground to tremble violently and raised clouds of dust.
As Shi Yu ran desperately, he kept looking back anxiously, shouting, "We can't keep running like this! We won't escape at all! We have to find a place to hide right away!"
Song Wanning replied breathlessly, "But this place is completely open, there isn't even a single tree to cover our bodies, let alone any place to hide!"
Just as everyone was feeling hopeless, a deep and majestic voice suddenly came from the clear sky: "This trial has ended, and the portal will be opened soon. Please pay attention, all contestants."
As soon as the words were spoken, a curtain shimmering with a strange light slowly unfolded in the distance.
Upon seeing this, Shi Yu's eyes lit up, and he excitedly shouted, "Look over there! A curtain has appeared! Everyone, rush over there!"
Hearing his shout, the others also rallied and ran towards the door with all their might.
However, just as they were getting closer to the gate, the ice giants that were relentlessly pursuing them gave them no chance to catch their breath.
These enormous monsters suddenly leaped high into the air, wielding their fists as big as small mountains, and slammed them down on the crowd with a sharp whooshing sound.
Just as everyone was about to be hit by the ice giants' attack, something unexpected happened at the critical moment—the originally menacing ice giants suddenly froze in mid-air as if they had been frozen in place, not moving at all.
Immediately afterwards, a series of crisp cracking sounds rang out, and the bodies of the ice giants began to rapidly shatter into countless tiny fragments, which drifted into the air like snowflakes.
After all the fragments disappeared, a petite figure gradually emerged from the spot where the ice giant had shattered.
"Xiaoxue!" Song Wanning recognized the figure at a glance. Unable to contain her excitement, she couldn't help but call out loudly.
Ye Chuxue smiled slightly, then landed from the air and said to the group, "I'm fine, let's go quickly, this place can't hold out for much longer."
Everyone nodded, and then charged toward the door in one go.
With Ye Chuxue's help, the rest of the Da Xia group quickly approached the gate.
But people from other countries weren't so lucky; those who were slow were simply smashed into mincemeat.
Finally, everyone passed through the curtain and returned to the familiar hall.
Ye Chuxue was the last to pass through the light curtain. The ice giant behind her tried to reach out and grab her, but the curtain closed and the ice giant didn't have time to retract its arm.
"boom--!"
Half an arm fell to the ground with a thud, and everyone wiped the sweat from their foreheads, finally escaping a disaster.
"Congratulations to all soldiers for passing the training. You can now use the collected snow crystals to exchange for treasures."
As the surrounding environment changed, the group found themselves in a void.
The surrounding area was lined with densely packed product displays, each listing the price and function of the item.
"Everyone, take a look and see if there's anything you need, then make a list, and finally we'll all exchange for the treasures together," Shi Yu said.
Everyone nodded, and after about ten minutes, they had all found their favorite treasures.
"Xiaoxue, why is yours so little?"
Seeing the sparse list on Ye Chuxue's list, Song Wanning asked with some confusion.
"There's nothing I want up there," Ye Chuxue shook her head.
The treasures selected on the bill were resources left to him by the man from his memories, which could help him quickly improve his mastery of the realm.
