Just an enemy, don't kneel down and confess your feelings in front of me

His sister knelt in front of Ryan. Isn't this a bit... too humble and humiliating?

This is totally inconsistent with my sister's noble and proud character!

After not seeing each other for ten years, how come my sister has become like this! ?

She didn't understand and was shocked.

At this moment, she had only one question in her mind.

Was this Ryan's request, or was it his sister's own voluntary act?

But no matter as a guard or a sister, she couldn't speak at this moment. She could only wait silently until the door opened and her sister came out. Then she pretended to have just arrived.

"Sister, I'm ready, let's go."

Cecilia held the sword in her hand and said to her sister.

"I'm sorry, although I want to go with you, but this time, you can only attend alone."

Sylvia took out a token and handed it to Cecilia.

"I once passed through the Royal Forbidden Zone and have a token from it in my hand. This is also the original family emblem of our royal family."

"If you activate this, you can be teleported to the royal restricted area."

"That's...okay."

Cecilia was stunned for a moment, but she didn't care that her sister couldn't go.

Even without a sister, I can do it myself!

What's more, I am worried about my master, but he has already helped me!

Cecilia couldn't help laughing when she thought of the tips she had just received.

Although I don’t know how the master knew the situation, but with the master’s tips, I will definitely be fine!

Because the master said that these tips can help him get through the difficult times.

But this did not prevent her from asking her sister for advice.

Unexpectedly...

"I'm sorry, I can't give you much experience. After all... my life was very... simple back then."

Shiweiya said rather embarrassedly.

It was really difficult, but for Sylvia, it was very simple there, so simple that she didn't even know how she got through it.

For a genius, the test is just that simple!

"There's only one thing I can tell you!"

Patting her sister's shoulder, Sylvia became serious.

"You have to believe in yourself, no matter what, you have to believe in yourself!"

"Don't worry, sister. I will."

Cecilia nodded solemnly, then activated the family emblem and teleported to the royal restricted area alone.

At this moment, Ryan seemed to see a hint appear.

Open the dungeon: Flame Soul Ancient Battlefield.

This film is set in the royal forbidden area "Burning Abyss", a scorched earth created by thousands of years of meteorite iron and ancestral bones.

But Ryan wasn't worried about Cecilia.

After all, as a player, Ryan had already analyzed the game plot and made it into a secret kit for Cecilia.

With such an outrageous prophet in hand, if Cecilia still loses, I'll eat it!

Taking a look at the surroundings, Cecilia frowned slightly.

The sight of the barren land, which looked like it had been burned by a raging fire, made her feel a little uncomfortable.

Especially since black smoke drifted around from time to time, and the temperature was extremely high. Faintly, the flames that had not yet been extinguished made crackling sounds, like the wailing of wronged souls...

Even though Cecilia had experienced the pure and absolute hell of a nation's destruction, she still found it difficult to adapt at this moment.

No wonder my sister said it’s difficult here.

Just by taking a look at the environment here, I can already feel the pressure.

But she did not retreat.

At this moment, she seemed to have returned to her former self, becoming confident and resolute.

She is not afraid of any danger or difficulty.

At this moment, Cecilia had only one thought in her mind.

The owner of the house believes in himself!

Therefore, I must not let my master down.

then.

Cecilia took a deep breath and slowly stepped onto the altar in front of her.

Although there was no hint, she was very clear about it.

The altar in front of me is the place where I will be tested.

I just don’t know what kind of trial it is that is so difficult that no one has been able to pass it for hundreds of years?

Likewise, my sister is so simple that she can't even share any experience...

From the difficulty of hell to the simplicity of the most common mode, the difficulty of this test is really weird, and Cecilia can't imagine what the content of the test is.

But at that moment, when the content of the test appeared before her, she showed a hint of realization.

The moment she stepped onto the altar, the surrounding environment changed completely.

The hot quicksand was blown by the wind and fell on her body, making her skin feel as painful as if it were being cut by a knife.

She was surrounded by rock walls, on which were carved one last word after another in crooked patterns.

What is told here is the despair of those who have not awakened.

The remaining bloodstains looked like strokes made with fingernails. Just one look at it made one's scalp tingle and the whole body run cold.

And in front of Cecilia, a shadow appeared.

The shadow held a sword in his hand, repeating a set of sword techniques over and over again, without getting tired of it.

The requirements for passing this level are naturally self-evident.

The first level of tempering: the flame of burning heart.

The requirements are very simple, as long as you can replicate the sword skill Flowing Fire Heart Sword.

But Cecilia didn't know that there was actually a hidden problem here.

The lingering residual flames of the heroic spirits will constantly burn the most fragile state of mind of the trial-taker, making it very easy for him to have thoughts of collapse and despair.

For someone with a good talent for swordsmanship, such as Sylvia, they can pass it just by taking a casual look.

But for people who are not good at swordsmanship, such as Cecilia.

The most difficult thing is how to replicate the sword skills, how to maintain one's original heart in the face of repeated failures, not be affected, and not be dragged into despair.

There is no doubt that this first test is the watershed between genius and mediocrity, and it is a double torture to one's talent and character.

After reading the rules, Cecilia frowned slightly.

She knew that this rule was not friendly to her.

but!

Since I'm here, I won't fail!

Taking a deep breath, Cecilia took the sword and began to practice.

but…

No, it’s not possible at all!

This sword technique looked very complicated, and the various force techniques and sword moves connection made it difficult for Cecilia to understand.

Gradually.

Affected by the residual fire of the heroic spirit, Cecilia felt anxious and disappointed, and she almost wanted to give up.

But I can't give up. My master has high hopes for me, and I can't let him down!

What's more, I have to go back to see my master, how can I die here!

Taking a deep breath, Cecilia forced herself to calm down, and then she thought of her master's instructions before she set out.

"These few tips are my last bit of help for you. If you can't get through, open them and take a look."

"I believe you can do it."

The little slave, who had no doubts about his master, immediately opened the treasure bag given by his master.

And among them, there is only a simple sentence.

“Even the most mediocre talent will have its moment of brilliance.”

Although it is simple, doesn't it just fit my current predicament?

The owner has never been here, but he knows everything clearly. He is really worthy of being the owner.

Cecilia was extremely impressed by her master, and her emotions completely calmed down.

The master is right. No matter how mediocre your qualifications are, there will be a day when you will shine. As long as you work hard, everything is possible!

Since you don’t have enough talent, just work hard.

Over and over again, I don’t believe I can’t learn it!

I can't let my master down!

Her eyes gradually became firm, Cecilia calmed down her turbulent emotions, and simply ignored the influence of the residual fire of the heroic spirit. She began to start from scratch, swinging the sword tirelessly, practicing over and over again.

As long as she has the master's affirmation, no matter how boring or difficult it is, she will still be meticulous and never discouraged.

at last!

She didn't know how much time had passed, but when the figure disappeared, Cecilia was still a little confused.

Did I... pass?

Is this a pass?

I should be able to get the master's approval as I am now, right?

He is worthy of being the master. He let me pass with just a simple sentence!

It seems that I have to thank my master after I go back.

But Cecilia didn't have a moment to relax, because the next thing to arrive was the second level of tempering: Heart Flame Mirror Palace!

This trial can give a glimpse into the heart of the trial-taker, reflecting his subconscious fears and materializing them into reality.

Only by defeating the opponent can you truly pass this trial.

And what is Cecilia's biggest fear?

Cecilia herself didn't know this.

Or.

She knew it in her heart, but she just didn't want to admit it.

This is normal. No matter who you are, you will not admit that you are afraid of something in your heart. The more talented a person is, the more so.

A genius like Cecilia, even if she doesn't think she is so powerful that she is invincible, doesn't think she is really afraid of anything.

But at this moment, Cecilia could no longer deny it.

only because.

The real fear in her subconscious mind now appeared before her.

Looking at the phantom in front of her that looked exactly like herself but was filled with the sharp sword spirit, Cecilia's expression gradually became solemn.
