C33 Beginning of Pass

Lin Xiu felt the world spinning around him. He quickly closed his eyes and secretly circulated his soul force to get used to this uncomfortable feeling. Luckily, this feeling came and went, and when he opened his eyes again, Lin Xiu was already in an unfamiliar environment.

Looking over, there was sand and wind all over the place. It was difficult to see any signs of human life, and not even the shadow of an animal could be seen.

"The first stage will require you to rush to the center of this world within four hours to obtain a black token." A grand voice resounded throughout the world.

"Running to the center of the world in four hours, what kind of trial is this?" When the sound disappeared, Lin Xiu couldn't help but curse silently.

Originally, he thought that passing the trial was to fight with various Demonic Beast, but he didn't expect it to be like this.

Lin Xiu was not in a hurry to move. He first carefully observed this strange world for a while. Not long after, when he tried to absorb the Spiritual Qi to recover his strength, his face changed drastically.

There was actually no spiritual energy in this place! At that moment, Lin Xiu's face became a bit ugly. Originally, he deduced from the voice that the scope of this world was not big, he relied on the speed at which the Thousand Layers Body Refinement Method was absorbing spiritual energy and believed that he could finish the trial very soon. But who would have thought that the environment here would not allow him to do so.

The moment this thought appeared, Lin Xiu noticed that the sand and wind had started to gather. A rumbling sound started to vaguely come from not too far away.

Damn it, it was a sandstorm! If he wanted to use his strength to resist the sandstorm, he needed at least the strength of his Middle Third Stage. If he was unlucky enough to be involved, he would end up in an extremely miserable state.

Panicking, Lin Xiu threw away everything except the cultivation resources on his body and tried to reduce his own weight. As he sprinted, he finally left the sandstorm far behind.

However, before he could even catch his breath, the previously clear and cloudy sky instantly turned dark. Before long, snowflakes the size of a fist began falling from the sky.

Damn it!

As time passed, the world became colder and colder. Even with Lin Xiu's cultivation level, he started to tremble. His eyebrows were already covered in a layer of silver frost.

His legs had already started trembling and the elemental energy in his body had long been depleted. Just as he took out a Pill to recover its elemental energy and consumed it, his expression turned into one that was on the verge of tears.

Fuck, the Pill is actually useless! Without the support of elemental energy, even surviving in this world was a problem, not to mention completing the challenge.

The Netherworld Palace Assessment was indeed impressive, and this was only the first stage, yet it made Lin Xiu feel such difficulty. He believed that the rest of the tests would be even more difficult than the first stage!

Time passed slowly. The snow on Lin Xiu's body had completely covered him. From afar, he looked like a snowman with two legs moving forward slowly.

Lin Xiu, whose limbs were stiff, no longer had any thoughts of passing the challenge in his mind. He just moved his legs numbly and walked mechanically one step at a time.

After an unknown amount of time, the wind and frost finally stopped, the sun high up in the sky was emitting a scorching light, the snow and ice on Lin Xiu's body gradually melted, and his body also began to feel a little warm up. His physical strength had been consumed too much in defending against the snow before, so the moment the snow on his body melted, he sat down on the ground, greedily basking in the sun.

"If we can continue like this, how good would it be?" Lin Xiu couldn't help but think.

He had been tortured by the wind and snow, and now even sunlight was a rare pleasure for him.

It had been a snow and wind, and now that the sun had risen, the temperature wouldn't be so unbearable, right? Lin Xiu, who was squinting his eyes, felt satisfied and a little worried at the same time.

As expected, the sun in the sky became hotter. The snow that had just melted from the snow evaporated at a speed visible to the naked eye. Lin Xiu, whose mouth was dry, quickly stooped down and picked up a handful of water from a hole and drank it down.

The transition from severe winter to scorching summer heat was actually extremely harmful to the human body. However, Lin Xiu didn't care about that. He took out some small utensils from his bosom and filled them with water before hurrying on his way.

He didn't have much time left. If he couldn't clear the level within four hours, his fate wouldn't be that good.

The shoes under Lin Xiu's feet had already become tattered under the hot and cold changes of the sky, but he still had to endure that feeling. In this short period of time, cracks had already appeared on the ground under his feet, the moisture in the air had completely disappeared, and the sand on the ground was blown by the hot wind, making it hard for people to open their eyes.

In less than four hours, he had changed from a young man in white clothes floating in the wind to a disheveled and ragged look. His eyes no longer had the spirit of a battle with the Sizzling Panther, and his movements had also gradually become stiff, only when his lips were cracked and he was really unable to endure the thirst, would he take out those bottles and jars that he viewed like treasures from his bosom. He carefully poured two mouthfuls of the jars into his mouth, but he did not directly swallow them.

After an unknown amount of time, the sun, which could drive people crazy, finally calmed down a little bit and moved towards the west. A light suddenly appeared in Lin Xiu's eyes and an oasis appeared in front of his eyes.

Here, the trees were shady, and there were even many birds singing a pleasant melody. Animals were happily drinking water by the lake, and their lives were very uncomfortable.

Finally, he saw hope, Lin Xiu was no longer stingy with the Yuan Li in his body and started to run like crazy. The whole journey was simply torture for him, he just wanted to jump into the lake and gulp down the sweet water, then take a good bath and have a good night's sleep.

Finally, they got close to the lake. Lin Xiu's arrival scared away all the animals by the lake. Then, he looked at the dreamy lake water in front of him, rubbed his eyes, and directly buried his head in the lake.

A clear and comfortable feeling came over. Lin Xiu felt very comfortable and then glanced around. After seeing no one around, he stripped himself naked and began to swim in the lake.

When he swam to the center of the lake, Lin Xiu astonishingly discovered a whirlpool in the middle of the lake. Shocked, Lin Xiu started to swim towards the periphery, but the suction force of this whirlpool was too weird, even though all the Yuan Li in his body had been mobilized and even the Nine Dragons Sky Locking Armor had started to be used in the dark, he was still unable to resist the suction force completely. On the contrary, due to Lin Xiu's resistance, it seemed to have aroused the personality of the whirlpool.

Lin Xiu was finally unable to resist under this force. His eyes darkened and he was pulled into the darkness.
