Chapter 217: The trial-5
He tried to feel for any energy or presence in the surroundings. However, he was met with disappointment.
The 9th floor seemed devoid of any energy, and it felt as if he was surrounded by nothing but plants and trees and surprisingly these plants and trees had no energy either.
Bai Lung’s became more annoyed as he looked around, he couldn’t feel any Qi emanating from any source, which made him feel powerless.
“Maybe I really need to remove the fake veil and see the face behind,” Bai Lung said lightly as he made his mind go destiny these place.
Thus,
Without any warning, Bai Lung began to destroy the surroundings.
Trees crashed down, and bushes were shattered with each blow that he landed. He was feeling increasingly frustrated and hopeless, but he refused to give up.
Despite his frustrations, Bai Lung’s determination pushed him forward, after all, he wished to be something.Each blow he landed revealed nothing but more of the seemingly endless greenery, the place was totally magical.
His thoughts raced, pondering the purpose of this floor, like was it even beatable?
He had faced trials of soul and spirit, but this one felt different… almost like a test of persistence.
As he continued his rampage, he heard a faint, melodic hum.
It was almost imperceptible at first, but it grew louder with each strike he landed with his Qi Beam.
Intrigued by the sound, Bai Lung paused, closing his eyes to focus on the sound.
The hum seemed to resonate with his soul, guiding him towards its source.
Following the sound, he came upon a small, unassuming pond hidden behind a thick curtain of vines.
Strangely, Bai Lung couldn’t sense anything from it at all.
The water was crystal clear, and at its center floated a single, radiant lotus flower.
The hum emanated from the pink lotus, its glow pulsating in harmony with the melody.
Bai Lung approached the pond, feeling an inexplicable pull towards the flower knowing it must be some kind of soul-strengthening lotus.
Swoosh~
He reached out, and as his fingers brushed its petals, the world around him transformed.
The greenery faded, replaced by a vast, open sky filled with swirling stars.
He was now standing on a platform of light, god knows where.
A voice echoed through the void, calm and soothing.
You have done well to reach this place, junior. This is the final trial, where the essence of your soul will be laid bare.
Confront your true self, and only then will you find the strength to ascend
…
Bai Lung steeled himself as a figure materialized before him… It was an exact replica of himself.
This doppelgänger radiated an aura of darkness, its eyes glowing with a sinister light.
However the aura of this ‘Fake Bai Lung’ was strong.
The doppelgänger spoke, its voice was the same as the real Bai Lung, Cold and sharp.
“You think you can overcome me? I am every doubt, every fear, every failure you’ve ever had. You cannot defeat me, I am invincible… ”
Real Bai Lung: “…” ( cringe )
But he stood his ground with a slightly ugly face, looking at fake Bai Lung, who was naked.
“Why the fuck do you have a small dick? ” Bai Lung couldn’t help but ask.
” Hey! I have a good personality,” Fake one hurriedly responded, while covering his crotch with his hands.
“Heh!” Bai Lunc smirks with doubt thinking about how failure, fear, and blah blah have a good personality.
“Tch! You are a fucking dog…” Bai Lung muttered while he pointed his finger at Fake One, instantly unleashing a huge beam of Qi,
However, the fake one easily blocked it.
” Hehe! You can’t defeat me… ” The Fake one uttered with confidence.
” Tch! Can u hide that small thing of yours… I can’t stop my laugh,” Bai Lung chuckled lightly.
” Y-You… ”
The fake one’s face turned red with anger at Bai Lung’s insult.
It was one thing to be called a dog, but being made fun of for the size of his “asset,” was too much.
” You bastard! Can’t you be more serious? ” the fake one yelled.
Bai Lung chuckled at the fake one’s reaction.
” Why should I? I’m just talking about the obvious.”
The fake one clenched his fists in frustration, feeling humiliated and angry.
” You think this is a game? I am your darkest fears and failures,” he growled.
” Oh yeah? Don’t make me laugh,” Bai Lung replied in a mocking tone.
” Well, your ‘dark fears and failures’ are pretty… small,” he said, gesturing towards the fake one’s crotch.
The fake one’s face turned even redder with embarrassment.
“Shut up! That has nothing to do with this!” he protested.
“Besides, I am not small! It’s pretty average!”
Bai Lung couldn’t help but smirk at the fake one’s reaction.
“Sure, sure. Keep telling yourself that… Deep Dark Fear!”
The fake one gritted his teeth, feeling more and more humiliated.
“This is not funny! You’re supposed to take this seriously!” he exclaimed in anger, his blood boiling up.
“You’re not supposed to make jokes about my… size,” The fake one added.
Bai Lung couldn’t hold back his laughter.
“I can’t help but make jokes when you’re so obviously trying to overcompensate for your inadequacies,”
The fake one’s face was now completely flushed with anger and embarrassment.
He was supposed to be the embodiment of Bai Lung’s fears and insecurities, but he was being belittled for something as trivial as his “size,”
This isn’t fair.
“This is ridiculous. Why do you have to focus on something so pointless?” he protested having nothing else to say.
“It doesn’t matter how big or small I am, I’m still your failures and fears!… It’s not that I have small one, it’s your fear to have a small dick,”
Bai Lung chuckled again, enjoying the fake one’s discomfort.
Oh, keep whining about it, Womp Womp Nigga!” Bai Lung smirked, knowing he was hitting a nerve.
