"He is your Third Trail," Xun said to Long Chen as she pointed towards the dead body of the young boy lying nearby.
"The dead guy is my trial? Can you be clearer? Do I need to revive him or something?" Long Chen inquired in curiosity as he looked at the boy in his late teens.
" Let me introduce you. The boy you see dead before you is known as Long Chen even though his real name is Fu Chen. Youâre currently in the Kingdom of Aksha. This is a different planet and not the one we were inside. Your Third Trial is to become him and make him rise to glory. Your task is to make this boy here, the King of the Kingdom of Aksha," Xun told Long Chen casually.
"Make a dead person the King? Are you drunk, or is the Bloodline Temple drunk?" Long Chen asked sarcastically.
"You donât have to make him the king, but you need to make him the King," Xun said vaguely.
Long Chen facepalm himself as he heard Xunâs words.
"You know you just wasted your words, didnât you? If I were as wise to understand your words, I would not be asking you after you said it the first time. There is no way I can make the dead guy a King. Well, itâs possible if I do it through fear. Just force everyone to acknowledge the dead guy as their King. Iâd have to go against the entire Kingdom, though," Long Chen inquired as he frowned.
" No, your Trial is not to make this dead body the King. You need to be this person. You need to become the King of Aksha while being that person and without arousing many suspicions about your identity," Xun further said to Long Chen.
"Ah, so I need to impersonate him and become the King while pretending to be him. All that without letting everyone know that Iâm from this world. Wait a minute, this World? Am I not in an illusory world like I was in the First Trial?" Long Chen inquired as he frowned.
"This is a real world. As real as it can get," Xun told Long Chen.
"Ah, so the Bloodline Temple actually teleported my actual body here from that tomb? Thatâs good. At Least I got out of that freaking tomb," Long Chen smiled as he sighed.
"No, your..." Xun was saying something when Long Chen cut her off as he raised his hand.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
"Shhh, I think I heard something," He called out as he started listening carefully.
He could hear footsteps. He tried spreading out his Divine Sense.
"What the? Why canât I use my Divine Sense? Did the Bloodline Temple again place restrictions on my body?" Long Chen asked Xun in annoyance as he looked back at her.
"No, as I was saying. Your real body is still in that tomb," Xun told Long Chen as she frowned.
Long Chen looked at her with a blank look on his face before looking at his hand and feet.
"The body you have is something that was created by the Bloodline Temple just for this trial. You donât have any of your old cultivation in this body. You still have your Martial Space and your Laws, but your Cultivation is none. This body doesnât even have an ounce of Cultivation. Also, you canât use Divine Sense here," Xun told Long Chen.
"What the heck? This is even worse than the Second Trial! You gave me a Cultivation-less body and told me to become the King of a kingdom? Are you joking?" Long Chen let out in annoyance.
He was really upset, but as he thought about it more, he came to a conclusion.
"Wait, are the people of this Kingdom mortals? Thatâs right. Cultivators shouldnât exist in this world. In that case, it wouldnât matter if I have no Cultivation. Just my laws should be enough to take care of mortals," Long Chen let out as he nodded his head.
"No, this world has Cultivators too. And people that are even stronger than the Cultivators of this place. All I can suggest to you is that you should start cultivating this body of yours as well. If you need to finish the Third Trial, you would need some Cultivation. Thatâs all I can say for now. I need to go back to the Bloodline Temple. Iâll appear again soon after dealing with the stuff there. Just, donât underestimate this world," Xun told Long Chen before she disappeared.
"Wait, Xun!" Long Chen called out, but he was late. Xun had already disappeared. He called her again, but she didnât appear.
" This strange Trail. I canât wait to finish it and go back to my old body. Itâs so awkward to be in a body without Cultivation. I didnât even realize it before Xun told me, but now that I know, I just canât seem to shake this discomfort," Long Chen muttered.
*Roarrr*
He suddenly heard a roar and looked back.
"Ah, so it was you I heard the footsteps of," Long Chen muttered while he smiled as he looked at the creature in front of him.
There was a bear standing behind him at around ten meters of distance from him. The brown bear was 8 feet tall.
The bear roared again as it glared at Long Chen.
" A Wild bear that doesnât even have Cultivation dared to try to scare me? Hah, youâre a Millennia too young, kid. Go back," Long Chen casually replied.
He couldnât believe what was happening. He was someone that had killed Heaven Realm beasts, and now, a mortal grade beast was looking at him like a prey.
" I donât have Cultivation, though, so I canât use my skills, but I can still use my sword. Too bad that I canât use my Sword skills without cultivation either. Whatever, Itâs just a bear. I donât need Cultivation," Long Chen muttered as he smiled.
He looked at his hand to bring his Kingâs sword out, but there was no ring in his hand.
"What the fuck! My Ancient Ring? Is that in my real body? Xun, you dumbo! You shouldâve told me," Long Chen cursed in annoyance as he watched the bear running towards him.
The near was bulky, but it ran so fast. In a few seconds, it was standing before Long Chen as it swung its claw.
Long Chen glanced at the bear as he frowned.
His eyes turned Spatial Dark as he used his Law of Space and Teleported before the bearâs claws could hit him.
Long Chen appeared above the branch of a nearby tree as he looked down at the bear.
