It must be miHoYo's doing.

As he spoke, Tianming waved his hand, and a dreamy crystal ball appeared in the center of the hall, emitting a mysterious aura.

"Anyone who can touch this crystal ball can directly become a junior member!"

As soon as Tianming finished speaking, countless people became excited and rushed to the crystal ball in the center of the hall, as if there would not be enough places if they arrived too late.

But, is it really that simple?

Soon, almost everyone noticed the problem.

The floating crystal ball actually emanated an extremely powerful pressure. The closer one got to the crystal ball, the stronger the pressure became. Some people even fell to their knees with pale faces after taking only a few steps.

"I can't... This pressure is simply not something we ordinary people can withstand. I feel like I'm facing the Seven Gods directly. No! This pressure is even more terrifying than the Seven Gods!"

Soon, a large group of people could not bear the pressure anymore and chose to give up, leaving the area around the crystal ball.

In the end, only a small number of people struggled forward, but every step seemed to be taken with all their strength.

Among them was Bennett, who was still covered in wounds.

Blood paved the road beneath his feet, and he just kept moving forward, step by step. Even though he walked very slowly due to his injuries, and was almost the last one to move forward, his face did not show the pain that others had.

There was only persistence in his eyes, as if such pain could not shake him at all.

Tianming in mid-air also noticed Bennett. Although he felt very sympathetic towards the unfortunate boy, he did not intend to reduce the difficulty.

If it was the Bennett he remembered, then the first stage of the trial shouldn't be a problem now.

"However, can you persist in the second stage of the trial of conscience, Bennett?" Tianming raised his lips with an interested smile.

Soon, the dozens of people still advancing were almost within a five-meter radius of the crystal ball, as if they could just grit their teeth and kick their legs to touch the crystal ball and complete the trial. The people watching from the outside also held their breath, seemingly even more nervous than those in the trial.

But at this moment, something strange happened. The person who first entered within five meters of the crystal ball suddenly widened his eyes and stopped.

"Hey! Why did the person in the front stop?"

"I remember him being one of the strongest adventurers in the Mondstadt Adventurer's Guild. He even possessed the Eye of God. Could it be that even he couldn't hold on?"

Just when the spectators outside were at a loss, a picture appeared above the crystal ball, and the person in the front was on the picture.

However, at this moment he was surrounded by monsters, and the Eye of God he possessed had completely disappeared.

Suddenly, he was transformed from the owner of the Eye of God into a mortal. He lost all of a sudden his confidence and gave up resistance in the face of the tidal wave of monsters. He was swallowed up in an instant.

Then, the image on the crystal ball disappeared, and the man screamed and was pushed out of the area around the crystal ball by a repulsive force.

Even after leaving the crystal ball, the man continued to scream and roll on the ground, shouting, "No! I don't want to die!"

It wasn't until his companion stepped forward and slapped him that he finally came to his senses. But then his face showed shame and anger.

As one of the strongest members of the Mondstadt Adventurers' Association, he had never been laughed at like this before.

At this moment, he no longer cared how strong Tianming was. He pointed at Tianming and shouted, "I don't accept it. That was just an illusion. I lost the power of the Eye of God in it. How can I face the monster? This is not fair!"

In response, Tianming simply glanced at him coldly and said calmly, "There are two levels of trials in total. The first is a test of coercion, and the second is a test of conscience. To go far on the road of pursuing your dreams, you must have a wish that you must fulfill, even at the cost of your life. You have completely lost the courage to face the enemy simply by losing the power of the Eye of God. As you are, you are not qualified to become a junior member!"

Tianming's glance contained the powerful mental power from the Memory Star God. The man who was shouting just now seemed to fall into a thousand-foot ice cave after being glanced at by Tianming, and his whole body began to tremble.

As the surroundings chattered, the man's face turned red, and he quickly left the Dream Seekers Association in shame.

After this little episode, everyone finally understood what this so-called trial was about.

They all stared with wide eyes at the people around the crystal ball and the illusion appearing above the crystal ball.

As time passed, the dozens of people who had entered the second level of the trial were all pushed out by the repulsive force.

Some, addicted to beauty, lose their motivation to move forward. Some, witnessing the hell on earth, lose their courage. Still others, relived the painful moments of their lives and completely lost their will to fight.

Soon, Bennett, who was at the end of the field and covered in injuries, was the only one left who had not yet entered the five meters of the crystal ball.

However, no one seemed to have confidence in the young man.

"Let's go! Let's go! It seems like none of us can pass the trial and become a junior member directly. Let's just slowly save up some gemstones."

"Hey, he hasn't been kicked out yet. Are you so sure that boy can't pass the trial? I see he looks very determined."

"Brother, I see you're wearing an adventurer's uniform too. You must know this notorious unlucky guy in the Adventurer's Guild. He's incredibly unlucky. We don't dare approach him, fearing a boulder might suddenly appear and crush us and him."

"No way, is it really that exaggerated?"

"Yes, it's really that exaggerated! Did you see the injuries on his body? I think it must be bad luck when doing the commission. So, so, so many of us failed the trial, how could he pass with such bad luck? And he has injuries on his body."

The people around were talking about it, as if they were all sure that Bennett would not succeed. Some people even made a bet that Bennett would be ejected the moment he entered the illusion.

No matter what the others were saying, Bennett, about to enter the five-meter radius of the crystal ball, couldn't hear them. His entire mind was focused on resisting the pressure. He didn't know why the person in front of him was ejected, but he wouldn't give up. Even if it was impossible, he would persevere until the very end.

Bennett once again forced himself to take a step forward.

But suddenly, the world in Bennett's eyes changed suddenly.

A long, narrow road appeared before him, with cliffs on either side. At the same time, a line of words appeared in the sky: Final Trial: All members of the Bennett Adventure Team are requested to cross the road and reach the end.

"Bennett...Adventure Group?"

Looking at these familiar yet unfamiliar words, Bennett was stunned.

In the past, some people had joined his adventuring group, but they were all injured one after another because of his bad luck, and finally abandoned him. Of course, Bennett didn't blame them, because it was indeed his bad luck that harmed them.

After that, news of Bennett's bad luck spread, and no one wanted to be his companion anymore.

In his dreams, Bennett imagined countless times that he could go on adventures with his companions, and he would never let his companions get hurt. But it was just a dream after all.

"So...was this a dream too?"

Suddenly, Bennett felt someone tapping his shoulder.

"Captain Bennett, what are you standing there for? Let's get to the finish line together."

Turning his head suddenly, Bennett saw several people whose faces he couldn't see clearly.

"You...are?"

"Captain? What's wrong with you today? We are members of the Bennett Adventure Group and your partners. Come on, we have to go to the finish line together."

Bennett was stunned, his lips moving, and an emotion stuck in his throat. At this moment, he hoped so much that this was not a dream, but reality.

"Okay, let's go!"

Bennett nodded, sniffed, and quickly accepted the setting. He faced the narrow road ahead and raised his right fist.

"Bennett's Adventure Team, set off!"

As soon as the words fell, Bennett took the lead and rushed onto the narrow road, and then...

"BOOM!"

A purple bolt of lightning came crashing down, hitting Bennett right on the body. His body, which had been intact due to being in the illusion, instantly turned black.

"Captain... Captain? Are you alright...?"

　A worried question came from behind him, and Bennett immediately came to his senses and forced himself to be alert.

"No...it's okay! I'm fine...ah!"

Before Bennett could finish his words, a fist-sized stone flew out from somewhere and hit Bennett on the forehead.

Bennett had a big bump on his forehead and fell to the ground on his back.

Outside, everyone nodded in agreement as they saw Bennett's performance in the illusion. Previously, they had thought Bennett's illusion trial was simple, requiring only a narrow path to the end. But now, with Bennett's luck, it might be harder than climbing to the sky.

Now, everyone was even less optimistic about Bennett. He'd taken just two steps before collapsing. The path was at least several hundred meters long, making it nearly impossible for him to make it alive. Everyone seemed to be viewing Bennett's trial as amusement.

The perspective returns to the illusion.

"Captain! Are you really okay?"

　The members whose faces could not be seen clearly gathered around him and tried to help Bennett up.

Unexpectedly, Bennett struggled to stand up, as if he had only suffered a fatal injury.

Bennett 帬II 印叄7久〥（六）衣II ?'s face lifted into a bright smile. "It's okay, it was just an accident. By the way, you two should go to the other side first. I'll wait until you reach the finish line before I go over there."

Although several members of the group did not know Bennett's intention, they could only nod and step onto the narrow road with cliffs on both sides.

It's strange to say, even though Bennett suffered two heavy blows after taking just two steps, these team members reached the finish line very smoothly.

"Captain! We're here! Come over here quickly!" Several members waved at Bennett from the opposite side.

Bennett responded loudly, "Okay! I'll be right there! Remember, no matter what happens next, you must stay at the finish line and don't come over! This is the leader's order, and it's also our agreement!"

Several members of the group at the finish line didn't seem to understand Bennett's intention, but they could only nod.

"Okay, Captain, come here quickly!"

Bennett took a deep breath and declared to the world once again: "Bennett Adventure Group, set off!"

step.

Arrows rained down, piercing the body.

Two steps.

The cold freezes the body and frostbites the skin.

Three steps.

Flames appeared out of nowhere, ice and fire collided, causing unbearable pain.

…………

Four steps... five steps... six steps.

All kinds of unfortunate things that were almost impossible to happen happened to Bennett one after another.

At this moment, there was not a single intact piece of skin on Bennett's body, and even his bones were creaking, as if they would fall apart at any moment.

PS: I still owe four chapters for the collection. In order to ensure that it can reach 10,000 chapters a day when it is released next week, I will add a maximum of one chapter per day (?ω?)

But even so, Bennett still moved forward step by step, as if all the pain and suffering were just a little bit of wind and frost to him.

Compared to the physical injuries caused by the so-called bad luck, the looks and comments of others when they stay away from him because of his bad luck are more hurtful.

Once upon a time, everyone around him was full of disgust towards him...

"Look, that unlucky Bennett is here. Let's go, let's stay away and avoid being affected by bad luck."

Once upon a time, those partners who had made a promise to each other blamed everything on his bad luck...

"It's all because of you, Bennett! If it weren't for you, we wouldn't have suffered these injuries. Anyone who wants to join your unlucky adventure group can do so. We don't want to be implicated by you again, you unlucky bastard."

"Bah! You have such bad luck. You always want to have friends and companions in your life!"

Once upon a time, he was alone...

I am alone when I take on a commission, alone when I am unlucky, and alone when I am seriously injured.

Compared to that kind of loneliness, in this illusion, he at least has companions, and his companions are waiting for him. How can he fall down like this!!!

At the end of the road, several members with blurred faces were calling out to him anxiously.

"Captain! What on earth happened there?! Wait, we're coming to help you!"

"do not come!"

A hoarse voice broke through the sky, and the broken body continued to move forward.

"It's okay, the people of Bennett's Adventure Group... no matter what difficulties or setbacks we encounter, we can always stand up again!"

Bennett's eyes were bloodshot, but he looked up at the sky, as if questioning God.

"Come on! Let the storm come even harder!"

"You...will never be able to defeat me!!"

"Bennett Adventure Group, forward...forward!!!"

Bennett took another step...

…………

In the outside world, Bennett's body was only two meters away from the crystal ball. However, whether it was due to the illusion or the pressure, the wounds on Bennett's body completely broke open, and blood flowed down his forehead, arms, and knees like a waterfall.
