Qin Cheng was very incensed. He wanted nothing more than slashing Sheng Tian to countless pieces. And just as he was about to give the order to kill him, he thought of Sheng Tian's power. Even if they could win and kill him, they will pay a huge price. The ones ultimately benefitting from this ordeal would be Qin Li's and Qin Qing's team members. This is a huge trap. It must have been set up by these two teams.
'If I make a single wrong step, everything would be for naught.' He thought. Then he looked at Qin Qing's and Qin Li's face which had an expression of shock and he cursed in his mind 'It seems like these two fools also started fooling others. Hmph, But you can't fool me.'
Then, he turned towards the passage entrance and said: "A King is not moved because a beggar shouts."
Immediately, he heard a reply " A coward is not moved as he lacks any guts."
Everyone was again shocked. Then Qin Cheng caught the slight satisfaction in Ling Chen's eyes accidentally. This increased his suspicion that this might be a trap to weaken him and his team before the Ancestral Tomb.
He waved his hands and said, " Shout all you want." Then he signaled to his teammates to follow him to the passage.
Qin Li's team entered next. Qin Qing's team followed. But everyone was curious to why Qin Cheng didn't kill Sheng Tian on the spot.
Even Leng Yue Yan was no exception. As Sheng Tian and Leng Yue Yan were at the last ones to enter, she turned to ask him with her still cold face which now held a hint of curiosity "Why did he do that?"
It's not like she didn't see intelligent or wise people. But someone like Sheng Tian was definitely unique.
Hearing her cold voice which sounded like a beautiful song, Sheng Tian smiled lightly as he said: "It's because of himself."
She was a bit confused by his words "Himself?". Her Cold face showing confusion like a little girl who didn't understand her primary math, it was very cute.
Sheng Tian continued "In the eyes of a schemer, everyone else is a schemer too. He plots against people and does things without getting himself directly involved. The thing he fears would be he himself being plotted against. He would have most probably thought that me scolding him was a scheme to weaken his team. It's pretty rational that he thinks this way, but he didn't consider the actual probability of it happening given the relationship between Qin Qing and Qin Li as well as the possibility of it being me acting by myself alone."
Leng Yue Yan found his explanation to be pretty logical.
A person tends to look at the world from his own well-called perspective. A Kind person would find kindness in the world and a hypocrite will find hypocrisy. Eyes filled with filth would never see the World clean. A person is not able to see the truth of the world because of his personal opinions and delusions formed over the course of time.
Sheng Tian didn't speak any further as he focused on the passage. Meanwhile, Leng Yue Yan was stunned after she heard his words. This guy knew the opponent's personality as well as how he thinks and used it against him. This kind of enemy is the most dangerous. She felt a chill down her spine even with her ice cold aura when she thought of how terrifying he would be once he had enough power too. She felt a little fear of that lazy smile which hides his scary thoughts.
The group didn't run into any problems as they soon felt themselves walking downwards. After a long while, they reached a bright room.
It was very large, it seemed like a meeting hall. Sheng Tian looked ahead and saw that everyone came to a stop.
Not knowing the reason, he looked ahead of them. Then, he dropped his jaw. A black colored mass in liquid form is wriggling on the ground. It emitted a fierce aura. Slowly, it formed two tubes like structures, then a rectangular box-like structure above the tubes, then it became.....a Humanoid?
What the hell? The black jelly just became a fighting humanoid? Before he could think of any further, it attacked the group of 29 people.
Out of seemingly nowhere, a large saber appeared in its hand. Slashing it across as the air was filled with killing intent, the pupped dashed forward.
The group who came to the expedition were no ordinary teenagers. Their mental fortitude was a tad higher than their peers. They quickly drew back and brought out their weapons.
Qin Cheng initially wanted to draw back to let the other two groups do the dirty job, but the puppet didn't just attack the ones in the front, so he had to make a move too.
The puppet's power level was at the 6th stage of the Earth profound realm. Even though it should not be a threat to the group, its dense killing intent made everyone treat it as a dreadful existence.
Soon, under the continuous attacks of the youngsters, the puppet was filled with holes and was finally blasted back into its jelly form. Then it evaporated.
As some thought that it was over, about a 100 puppets appeared in the room from the floor shocking the shit out of them.
When they dealt with the puppet earlier, one thing was for sure. It's strength, defense and speed were something very high for its cultivation base.
Now with a 100 puppets appearing together, everyone's expression turned serious except Sheng Tian whose expression was like he was watching a good movie and of course, Leng Yue Yan, that same cold indifference.
The 50 puppets took out their various weapons and the fight began. Some had to fight one on one, some two on one, some three on one.
Qin Li, the big guy, was using his spear to blast away numerous puppets. The pair from Rising Valley Sect had terrifying compatibility in group combat as they used it to their advantage. The Sword brothers duo of Sacred Sword Sect fought alone, yet they were in the company of numerous sword waves slicing apart the puppets. Qin Cheng didn't really fight but whenever he did, his sword destroyed a puppet.
Qin Qing was also using her green colored sword strikes to fight. Occasionally, she would turn to look at Ling Chen to see if he was alright.
Ling Chen, like a hero, was just blasting away the puppets with his saber. He was the most eye-catching due to the sheer destruction and efficiency he displayed. Liu feifei was next to him on the line but the difference between them was obvious.
Leng Yue Yan just used a single 'Butterfly of Winter' to destroy freeze numerous puppets and crack them to pieces. Her sword strikes were also just as terrifying. She looked like she could take down the whole army by herself.
Sheng Tian was nonchalantly dodging the attacks and having fun. Fortunately, nobody had time to spare time to observe him otherwise they would have spit out blood. Whenever he could, he would just kick the puppets back into the group.
He knew better than anyone that it could most likely be a trap and they were now heading straight into it. So, he didn't want to be injured at any cost and waste unnecessary energy.
As the battle ended. The Ancient voice sounded "Congratulations on passing through the first entrance. After you pass the third entrance, the fated one would have my legacy. And there are treasures."
Then the door to the next room opened or may be saying doors is better. There were four passages namely 'Rage', 'Grief', 'Greed', 'Pleasure'.
Sheng Tian looked at these four passages and was stunned. The Ancient Voice mentioned nothing about this. Now, which way are they supposed to choose?
He shook his head and thought of a line 'All the roads lead to Rome.' The test may not be choosing a road rather sustaining it and getting through.
Even if it is not obvious, everyone is a bit tired after the fight. They wanted to rest and recover their conditions to the peak. But then, something happened which startled them. The gates to the passages slowly started closing and the more they closed, the faster they became. Seeing this, no one hesitated as they each took a gate.
Sheng Tian took the gate of 'Rage' because he wanted to experience the feeling of Rage if possible. It is something he wasn't much familiar with.
Feeling things would be the opposite of what is written, no one took 'Pleasure' except the two Ice sisters.
Majority of them choose Grief and Greed. the rest chose Rage.
Sheng Tian entered the passage of Rage. The moment he entered inside, he felt .... nothing actually.
The entrance door closed. He looked back and took a step front. He felt a little fury bubbling up in him. Not just him, the other six people which included the ones from Qin Clan, noble families and Sword brothers also felt the same.
With one more step, it became clear to him. This is not about winning others, it is about winning yourself, your emotions. But it can't be only that one thing, right?
As he continued walking forward, the rage inside him increased exponentially. He felt a need to beat up someone. Before he could take a step further, he heard a roar from behind.
A member of the noble family from Qin Cheng's group had his eyes bloodshot, he summoned his saber, roared and slashed it at the fellow member beside him. The other fellow was struggling to suppress his emotions. But when he saw the attack, he quickly summoned his halberd and blocked it.
Still, he was injured and coughed up blood. He was angry at this fellow for attacking him. He wanted nothing more than to rip him to shreds. His eyes also became bloodshot as he pierced the halberd forward.
*Ting* *Ting* They started fighting. The other people from the Qin Clan and noble families also started getting angry as they shouted the fighting members to stop. But they didn't, this incensed them further as they were filled with Rage irrationally. Even though they knew that they were in a passage and are undergoing a trial, they had no way to let this go. Their emotions got the better of them.
They too drew out their weapons and attacked the fighters.
Sheng Tian didn't say a thing as he walked forward. But he too felt himself becoming angry as he wanted to snap off their necks and cut them to pieces.
Sheng Tian's rationality kicked in and he was honestly a bit scared by this level of influence. Then he thought of how things would go in the 'Pleasure' passage. His thoughts turned perverted a bit and his Rage subsided. He quickly walked forward and thanked himself for getting such an idea to use his pervertedness to his gain.
There were instructions that the more profound energy is used, the greater the effects will be. So, he didn't use profound energy and was simply walking forward.
Soon, Sheng Tian was standing 100m from the entrance. Right when he thought it was going to be over, he saw the same black jelly puppet. It is not a problem for him to destroy it, but looking at its thick armor, it must have been designed to prolong the fight thus increasing the rage exponentially and making one lose rationality. Good Idea on devising such strategy, he praised. But a very bad idea for using it on me, he cursed.
He didn't think much because he felt that this was the last obstacle. For many, it would be difficult to not lose themselves in rage. But for him, even when he got angry, his rational side still existed and his thought process was not interrupted. So, it didn't really bother him much except he wanted to test his self-control.
Sheng Tian used Star Shadow Steps and Destruction fist boosted by his Physical Strength. *Boom* The puppet was blown into pieces as Sheng Tian exited the passage.
In that split second, before he exited he felt a gush of rage inside him to burn down everything and massacre every life. Strangely, however, Sheng Tian felt himself being the spectator as these thoughts came in his mind as he wasn't inclined to take such actions.
He arrived in a huge room and before him was a Pure White Circular formation. He was already getting used to seeing these things here. While he was contemplating on what to do, more people entered the room.
The ones from the greed came out with many wounds and a member less. And the ones with grief looked like they just lost their parents along with their children, incredibly gloomy. Surprisingly, even Leng Yue Yan's Ice cold face had a slight sign of sorrow which could invoke the pity of the masses. They surprisingly lost two members.
Then, Sheng Tian turned to the one last passage. He wondered how it would be inside the pleasure passage. (No pun intended. Seriously.)
Then two figures slowly walked out of the passage. An intoxicating smell filled the air as Sheng Tian's jaw dropped looking at the two Ice sisters whose faces are red like they were drunk, their legs were shaking and their clothes, lower garments seemed to be ...wet! There was something flowing down their sexy legs. It was a very enchanting and enthralling sight.
This is the miracle of the Pleasure Passage. He felt that it was a pity that he didn't see the details of such miraculous phenomena. Haii~ One must be content with what they have.
They quickly waved their shaking hands before anyone else could see them and they were covered by an Ice Curtain. Other than Sheng Tian who was at too much leisure, no one else saw them. The poor sisters didn't know that a big bad wolf saw them.
Sheng Tian closed his eyes and used his Photographic memory to display the previous scene clearly.
A lecherous smile formed across his face which was enough to scare away countless young maidens.
Inwardly, he praised his luck. Oh Lord, I might have missed this golden opportunity. My life is now fulfilled.

The other fellow was struggling to suppress his emotions. But when he saw the attack, he quickly summoned his halberd and blocked it.Still, he was injured and coughed up blood. He was angry at this fellow for attacking him. He wanted nothing more than to rip him to shreds. His eyes also became bloodshot as he pierced the halberd forward.*Ting* *Ting* They started fighting. The other people from the Qin Clan and noble families also started getting angry as they shouted the fighting members to stop. But they didn't, this incensed them further as they were filled with Rage irrationally. Even though they knew that they were in a passage and are undergoing a trial, they had no way to let this go. Their emotions got the better of them.They too drew out their weapons and attacked the fighters.Sheng Tian didn't say a thing as he walked forward. But he too felt himself becoming angry as he wanted to snap off their necks and cut them to pieces.Sheng Tian's rationality kicked in and he was honestly a bit scared by this level of influence. Then he thought of how things would go in the 'Pleasure' passage. His thoughts turned perverted a bit and his Rage subsided. He quickly walked forward and thanked himself for getting such an idea to use his pervertedness to his gain.There were instructions that the more profound energy is used, the greater the effects will be. So, he didn't use profound energy and was simply walking forward.Soon, Sheng Tian was standing 100m from the entrance. Right when he thought it was going to be over, he saw the same black jelly puppet. It is not a problem for him to destroy it, but looking at its thick armor, it must have been designed to prolong the fight thus increasing the rage exponentially and making one lose rationality. Good Idea on devising such strategy, he praised. But a very bad idea for using it on me, he cursed.He didn't think much because he felt that this was the last obstacle. For many, it would be difficult to not lose themselves in rage. But for him, even when he got angry, his rational side still existed and his thought process was not interrupted. So, it didn't really bother him much except he wanted to test his self-control.Sheng Tian used Star Shadow Steps and Destruction fist boosted by his Physical Strength. *Boom* The puppet was blown into pieces as Sheng Tian exited the passage.In that split second, before he exited he felt a gush of rage inside him to burn down everything and massacre every life. Strangely, however, Sheng Tian felt himself being the spectator as these thoughts came in his mind as he wasn't inclined to take such actions.He arrived in a huge room and before him was a Pure White Circular formation. He was already getting used to seeing these things here. While he was contemplating on what to do, more people entered the room.The ones from the greed came out with many wounds and a member less. And the ones with grief looked like they just lost their parents along with their children, incredibly gloomy. Surprisingly, even Leng Yue Yan's Ice cold face had a slight sign of sorrow which could invoke the pity of the masses. They surprisingly lost two members.Then, Sheng Tian turned to the one last passage. He wondered how it would be inside the pleasure passage. No pun intended. Seriously.Then two figures slowly walked out of the passage. An intoxicating smell filled the air as Sheng Tian's jaw dropped looking at the two Ice sisters whose faces are red like they were drunk, their legs were shaking and their clothes, lower garments seemed to be ...wet! There was something flowing down their sexy legs. It was a very enchanting and enthralling sight.This is the miracle of the Pleasure Passage. He felt that it was a pity that he didn't see the details of such miraculous phenomena. Haii~ One must be content with what they have.They quickly waved their shaking hands before anyone else could see them and they were covered by an Ice Curtain. Other than Sheng Tian who was at too much leisure, no one else saw them. The poor sisters didn't know that a big bad wolf saw them.Sheng Tian closed his eyes and used his Photographic memory to display the previous scene clearly.A lecherous smile formed across his face which was enough to scare away countless young maidens.Inwardly, he praised his luck. Oh Lord, I might have missed this golden opportunity. My life is now fulfilled.
