The Second Trial

The Masked Man did not speak.

Because it was currently speechless.

The Masked Man had looked at the assessment content for both of them and simply did not know what to say.

The assessment content of the Blood Rain Tower was very strict.

Only those who emerged from this strict assessment could become a Disciple of the Blood Rain Tower.

However, these two had cleared the level too easily.

Shangguan Yun's was purely due to Luck.

As for Zhou Ziming...

The Masked Man felt a bit numb.

The first assessment was called Challenge.

Challenge things that you could not possibly accomplish.

Logically speaking.

The thing Zhou Ziming could least possibly accomplish was letting go of his deep-seated attachment to his parents.

However, it seemed to have no difficulty for Zhou Ziming now.

Back in the day, the Masked Man had been tortured for a long time before it could walk out of the illusion.

In the end, the Masked Man could only say: "You all should rest for a moment and prepare for the second assessment!"

Zhou Ziming naturally did not say much.

However, in the entire great hall, the only people who had come out were him and Shangguan Yun.

Seeing Shangguan Yun, Zhou Ziming was rather curious.

"You came out even earlier than me?"

Shangguan Yun nodded.

Then, she explained the method she used to end the trial.

This left Zhou Ziming confused.

"Your Luck is a bit Heaven-Defying!"

Shangguan Yun shook her head.

"Actually, I thought about it carefully, and I feel this doesn't have much to do with my Luck. I feel like it was deliberately arranged by someone. As for who, it's hard to guess!"

Afterward, the two fell silent again.

Not long after.

Little Calf also came out.

Zhou Ziming did not know what trial Little Calf had experienced.

However, Zhou Ziming saw that the Masked Man kept scratching its head.

Zhou Ziming was very curious.

"What trial did it experience?"

The Masked Man glanced at Zhou Ziming.

Finally, it handed the jade tablet in its hand to Zhou Ziming.

"See for yourself!"

Zhou Ziming took a look.

Little Calf's trial was also very abstract.

Its trial was to backstab Zhou Ziming.

This was asking it to betray him.

Then Little Calf backstabbed him without hesitation.

After backstabbing, Little Calf quickly healed Zhou Ziming.

It was really just simply to complete the trial.

Very simple, very efficient, and it didn't even hurt their relationship.

The Masked Man looked at Zhou Ziming and the others at this moment.

It felt a bit uncomfortable.

Because the trials it had racked its brains to create seemed like a joke in front of the two of them and the cow.

This really was three Supremes from one sect!

The Masked Man took back the jade tablet and waved its hand.

"Rest for a bit. Wait for the others to finish the assessment, then we will proceed to the second trial!"

As time passed, more and more people came out.

However, some people came out as corpses.

Although some were still alive, they looked as good as dead.

After coming out, some had complex expressions, some had crazed expressions.

There were also some who looked like their Dao Heart had shattered.

But the Masked Man ignored all of this.

Because by the second stage, those whose Dao was not firm would naturally be eliminated.

However, what surprised Zhou Ziming was that Li Tang was actually the last one to come out.

Moreover, after coming out, Li Tang's expression was also extremely numb.

Zhou Ziming walked over and asked.

"What's your situation?"

Hearing Zhou Ziming's voice, Li Tang finally snapped back to reality.

Afterward, he said with a bitter face: "That trial made me, alone, face a million-strong army. I don't even know how long I killed for. Even after killing to the very last person, I didn't even know how I completed it!"

Li Tang paused for a moment.

However, he still said.

"Although it was a bit perverted, I feel that my current strength has improved a lot."

Li Tang suddenly looked at Zhou Ziming and asked: "Did you gain anything?"

Zhou Ziming shook his head.

"I didn't gain anything at all!"

Afterward, Zhou Ziming also recounted the assessment content for the few of them.

Li Tang looked at Zhou Ziming speechlessly at this moment.

"What kind of look is that?"

Li Tang said at this time: "Actually, my initial trial was to usurp the throne. This was very difficult because, in the setting, I was a prince without any foundation!"

"But suddenly, an enemy army invaded, and then it told me to face a million-strong army. If I could block the enemy army, it would pass the throne to me!"

"The plot twist within it was too stiff, even abrupt!"

"I was wondering at the time, who came up with this trial, and did they use their brain? But now it seems, it's simply because you treated the trial as a joke, which forced the examiner to change methods!"

Zhou Ziming wanted to laugh.

Li Tang wanted to cry.

"Why is it always me who gets hurt!"

The number of people was complete.

There were Disciples of the Blood Rain Tower who directly disposed of all the corpses.

The remaining people continued to the second trial.

Zhou Ziming and the others followed the Masked Man the whole way.

Finally, they passed through a long corridor and arrived at another great hall.

This great hall was quite nice.

In the middle, there was a circular instrument, and the sky above was full of stars.

Moreover, the floor beneath their feet also resembled a starry sky.

Stepping on it, ripples would actually emerge.

And the Masked Man stood on that circular instrument and spoke.

"The second trial is called Heart-Questioning!"

"In the future, if you want to become a Disciple of the Blood Rain Tower, you cannot do so without a strong Heart-Nature. Therefore, the Dao of Heart-Questioning is to test a person's Heart-Nature."

"Without a strong Heart-Nature, one cannot become a Disciple of the Blood Rain Tower."

"Alright, you will know the specific content in a moment. Next, please everyone sit in meditation!"

After hearing this, everyone followed suit.

Zhou Ziming was no exception.

The Masked Man reached out at this moment and injected Immortal Qi into the circular instrument.

The circular instrument began to spin rapidly.

Afterward, waves of peculiar power enveloped everyone.

Everyone was enveloped within those peculiar powers, almost as if they were fast asleep.

The Masked Man also withdrew its hand at this moment.

It chuckled.

"Everyone has things they fear in their hearts, and the deepest fear is the Heart Demon!"

"The Heart Demon is something that even some powerful beings cannot handle well. In this stage, those whose Heart-Nature is not firm will be devoured by the Heart Demon!"

"However, it doesn't matter. Whether it's someone who has been devoured by the Heart Demon, or someone who has completely suppressed the Heart Demon, they can all become members of the Blood Rain Tower!"

Just at this moment, a voice rang out.

"Saying it like that, why do I feel like the Blood Rain Tower doesn't seem like a proper organization!"

The Masked Man: "???"

It looked, somewhat dumbfounded, at Zhou Ziming, who was still awake.

"How come you didn't enter the Heart-Questioning?"

Zhou Ziming pointed to the top of his own head.

Floating above it were the words "Passed".

The Masked Man was dumbfounded.

"Ah? No, I just started, and you passed?"

"Where is your Heart Demon?"

Zhou Ziming: "???"

"Heart Demon? What Heart Demon?"

The Masked Man kept scratching its head.

"No, you really don't have any Heart Demon at all?"

Zhou Ziming chuckled.

"So this stage is the Heart Demon? Isn't that right up my alley? I, your Daoist master, specialize in a clear Dao Heart. If I still had a Heart Demon in this state, I might as well quit!"
