BXBX NOVEL Chapter 203 - Heart Demon
Afterward, he brought the disciple out and fed him an alchemy pill. "As per Elder Jing\'s order, your qualifications are now revoked and you have failed the test."
The disciple held an ashen face but didn\'t dare to protest the judgment from Elder Jing.
"Next batch," Elder Jing then said.
The disciples held a solemn expression as they began heading inside the room and this time, the projection screen remained out for everyone to spectate.
Time slowly passed and many more disciples became qualified for the next test but none of them held a haughty or prideful expression.
"Elder Jing is indeed wise. The disciples are more humble and know their place now." Elder Kun said as he ordered for the next batch.
"Sometimes, it\'s better to kick them down before they get ahead of themselves." Elder Jing shrugged her shoulders as she sneaked a glance at Yang Wei.
"I love it when they are more humble and never boast about their achievement."
Elder Kun showed a confused expression about Elder Jing\'s last comment.
However, he didn\'t dare to ask for clarification as the disciples that went inside the room had failed.
Sometime later, it was Yang Wei\'s turn to enter the room.
Yang Wei held a calm expression as he walked inside the room and before the door closed on him, he received a mental transmission from Elder Jing who wished him good luck.
Yang Wei smiled briefly as he sat down in a lotus position.
The room started illuminating and a formation circle was blinking brightly at them.
Yang Wei\'s vision soon blurred and before he noticed, he woke up at the scene where he was still a child.
"Isn\'t this the time that I offended the cultivator?" Yang Wei mumbled softly as he glanced around the surroundings.
Yang Wei\'s expression darkened when he recognized the cultivator\'s clothes slowly walking in front of him.
His hand slowly turned into a fist as Yang Wei wished for nothing more than to kill the bastard who ruined his life.
However, Yang Wei became shocked when the cultivator seemed to be staring at him, almost like he knew who he was exactly.
Yang Wei shuddered when their eyes met.
\'H-How could his face look like him?\' Yang Wei exclaimed inwardly as he held a gawking expression.
The cultivator\'s face was none other than the mysterious person that called himself Yang Kang.
"Are you surprised that it\'s me?" Yang Kang curled his lips upward as he stood in front of the child-version of Yang Wei.
Yang Wei swallowed nervously as he asked, "H-How is this possible? Your face is different from that time."
"Hahaha, that\'s because I\'m just an illusion, something created from your mind." Yang Kang laughed heartily. "Everything you see here is fake and simply your heart demon acting up."
Yang Wei staggered backward and before he got to ask for further questions, the scene blurred again.
This time, he was standing afloat and saw Elder Jing standing near a cliff. She was holding a blissful smile and her hand seemed to clench onto an item.
As Yang Wei tried to call out for her, his expression soon darkened when he saw a person approaching Elder Jing from behind.
The person was holding a poison dagger and to top it off, Elder Jing was completely off-guard.
"Yi Renshu," Yang Wei cursed loudly as he tried to block his action.
Alas, it was futile as he witnessed Yi Renshu\'s evil grin as he stabbed the poison dagger at Elder Jing.
Elder Jing showed a shocked expression as she lowered her head to see the wound inflicted by her trusted companion.
A few moments passed and Elder Jing no longer had any sign of life as Yi Renshu kicked her lifeless corpse off the cliff.
Yang Wei was full of rage as he wanted to burst out of the restriction that locked him in place.
Meanwhile, on the projection screen, Elder Jing showed a dumbfounded expression. Yang Wei was sweating profusely and seemed to be struggling.
"What is Yang Wei witnessing right now?" Elder Jing muttered as she looked at Yang Wei.
Yang Wei\'s body began leaking blood but Elder Jing didn\'t order Elder Kun to disqualify him. She had faith in Yang Wei to be able to overcome the hurdle.
"Let him continue, Elder Kun." Elder Jing then said as she halted his movement.
Elder Kun raised an eyebrow but nevertheless, he nodded his head and followed Elder Jing\'s order.
The other disciples that were in the same batch with Yang Wei were in worse condition than him, with some of them disqualified already.
While Yang Wei\'s real body continued to leak blood, inside the illusion, Yang Wei\'s pupil was constricted when he witnessed Yi Renshu laughing evilly.
"This dumb slut is really naive. I can\'t believe it was this easy." Yi Renshu shouted in joy. "Ai, I should have violated her body first but whatever- now, our Yi family would take over her Jing family."
Yang Wei was angered and the restriction around his body started failing. His heart rate became faster and his eyes soon turned bloodshot.
His consciousness was slowly falling into demise.
When Yang Wei was about to turn into a demon due to anger- a person slowly appeared in his vision.
"The Yang Wei I know isn\'t some weak-willed person to fall because of some heart demon."
Yang Wei glanced at the person in disbelief. "Jing Feng- you\'re alive?"
"Of course I\'m alive you dumbass. You should have been more clear-headed when everything is fake." Elder Jing scoffed as she smacked his head.
"Anyway, you should stop paying attention to what the illusion is showing you. Its purpose was to mess with one\'s mind and create a realistic scene on something they never want to see."
Yang Wei smiled bitterly as he nodded his head. "Well, the illusion is really terrifying indeed- they knew exactly what pains me the most."
