Chapter 1106 - How Can You See That Far?
Cassia continued to observe the test for a while and saw that almost everyone that could fall had done so already. All the streams had a certain number of cultivators inside. The only people still falling were the ones from small powers, who were attacked on purpose by the stronger ones. "Continuing like this will only be bullying at this point. Alright, that's enough."
Suddenly, the ground that had disappeared reappeared once again below everyone's feet. At the same time, the streams disappeared, allowing everyone to land on the ground below.
"The first test is over. No more actions until the second test starts," Cassia announced straight away.
The people from Klacks Country didn't like to hear that as they were planning to kill the people that they were using after the test was over. However, if they did that now, chances are they would be disqualified. That would also mean probable death in the hands of their superiors.
Cassia then made a quick count using her Divine Sense. "Good, we got over 80% of you eliminated already. From the initial 780850 competitors, only 124852 are remaining. That makes things a lot easier." She didn't seem to care about the deaths of the people who got disqualified at all.
Cassia continued, "Now then, you can all stay where you are. The teleport formation that brought you here will now send you somewhere else."
Before anyone could ask anything, the teleport formation activated once again. It was then that Sister Orb's voice reached the twins. [Hold onto each other. The Spatial Power is being purposely spread. This teleport will separate everyone in this field.]
Rean and Roan immediately held the other's shoulder, much to their dissatisfaction. Nevertheless, that was enough for the teleport to consider them as a single entity and teleport them together...with Milina! Yes, for some reason, the fat girl also held Rean in the very last second.
With a huge flash of silver light, all the remaining participants disappeared from the field. That obviously caught the attention of the guardians. One of the leaders of one of the countries couldn't help but ask, "Ahem... Senior Cassia. What should we do now?"
Cassia turned around and began to walk into the Sacred Land while saying, "You can all follow me to the guests' hall. We prepared the necessary devices for you all to watch the next test."
"What is the next test about anyway?" Someone else could not help but ask.
Cassia simply waved her hands in response. "Who knows..."
It had been quite some time since Rean and Roan last saw ice and snow in front of them. However, it once again entered their sight. The twins had been delivered right in the middle of a snowstorm and could barely see anything around them.
It was then that they heard a voice coming from the side. "This place is so cold..."
The twins looked at the big girl there and couldn't help but ask, "How come you're here as well?"
"I noticed how you two held each other out of nowhere. I didn't know what would happen, but my instincts told me I should do the same. That's how I got here," Milina replied. "By the way, where is everyone else?"
Rean shook his head in response. "I don't know. We don't even know where we are at the moment."
"This is obviously the second test of that Sacred Land," Roan replied. "It's just that they didn't explain anything this time."
Milina couldn't help but ask after hearing that, "Did you know that this would happen? You should have told the others to hold hands as well."
Rean shook his head once again. "The teleport was too sudden. Roan and I held each other's shoulder just as it was about to activate, not having time to warn anyone else. First of all, we didn't even know if it would separate us or not. It's just that we had a similar experience in the past, so we wanted to be safe. You also held me in the very last moment, but I don't remember you trying to warn others anyway."
Milina scratched the back of her head. "The teleport was also too sudden."
Roan didn't care about any of that. "Enough with the bullshit. We need to figure out what this test is about. I doubt the Sacred Land people will give us any clue."
Milina couldn't help but rub her arms. "But first, we need to find a way to warm ourselves. Holy shit, why is this place so cold?"
"Use your Divine Energy to keep the cold out," Rean replied.
However, Roan shook his head as he told them, "That's not the issue. This place's Yin Energy seems like it has the ability to pierce through our Divine Energy Barriers, still making it feel cold," Roan explained. "You probably can't feel it because of our connection. Yin Energy isn't something that harmful to you as it is to other people like Milina."
"I see..." Rean then touched Milina's shoulder before sending a stream of Yang Energy to fight the Yin Energy in her body. As a woman, she obviously had a lot more Yin Energy, but the environmental Yin Energy was different. It was harmful to the body.
Only with Rean's Yang Energy did she feel the cold disappearing from her body. "Thank you."
Rean nodded, not minding it much. "So, no rules, huh? Let's first move somewhere else. We can't see anything anyway, so we might just follow some random direction."
Roan agreed with Rean. "It seems like this place further restricts Divine Sense and Soul Power Scanning. I can't see more than ten or so meters ahead."
Rean tried it out before saying, "I got the same result."
However, Milina was shocked by their words. "Ten meters?! I can barely make it up to five! How can your Divine Sense be so strong?" Milina was someone at the Initial Stage of the Saint Realm, after all.
Obviously, it's because Rean and Roan's Divine Energy and Soul Power were fused together. Not to mention that they have the Soul Gem System. Of course, they wouldn't tell her that.. "That's a secret."
