My Dual-Cultivation System-Chapter 25 Shadow Dream Trial
"There was a diversion in Portal's waypoint, which was done by someone from the academy. It has changed your destination to the current place. This is Tianhai Academy's hardest trial, known as the Shadow Dream. It can only be done in a group of at least nine students." Yuena's distressed voice sounded beside them and described their current situation but she wasn't present in the trial.
Meng Long and Cang Xue both were familiar with this voice as she often talked to her old friends from a far distance after they arrived at Tianhai's Academy.
"Can they be from XiéLóng temple?" Cang Xue's face darkened as she asked.
"Probably. But for now, you should focus on the trial as it will begin in two minutes. It's done in a large group where at least six-seven people defends outside against the beasts, which are five levels higher than your group's average spirit energy ranks.
And the rest two-three try to clear the shadow dream trial inside the cave as soon as possible. Just one person needs to finish the trial for everyone to pass." Yuena explained to the duo.
"Defending shouldn't be hard considering my spirit energy rank at eleven and she should have at least thirty ranks." Meng Long estimated their strategy as a team.
"Don't be too happy. Your wife is only at the twenty-two spirit energy rank. You both are doomed." Yuena said in a worried tone.
"How is she only at twenty ranks? Isn't she a goddess?" The boy asked, scrunching his eyebrows.
"Shouldn't you know more about your family matters? You have only one minute left. I suggest you let her defend against wolves while you finish the shadow dream trial." Yuena advised him.
"Cang Xue won't be able to handle the wolves if she is at twenty spirit energy rank." Meng Long Said in a perturbed manner.
"Shadow dream trial cannot be taken by Cang Xue. She will get possessed by a Demon and her soul will get corrupted like how it happened to me back in the old days." Yuena warned him.
"Why would she get possessed by the demon?" He asked, raising his brows.
"It's not the time to explain. After the trial starts I won't be able to talk to you. This realm will be fully sealed.
Try finishing the trial as soon as possible because the number of beast outside will keep increasing as time passes." Yuena's urgent voice sounded.
"I'll take care of everything outside. You can leave it to me." Cang Xue said in a lively voice while summoning a silver sword that had a flower-shaped hilt.
"Trial is now starting. Take care both of you and Good luck" Yuena said to them before her connection was severed.
A howling of wolves started as two wolves bolted in their direction.
"You should hurry before the number of beasts gets too many. It would be better if you go and finish the shadow dream trial faster." Cang Xue said in an alert tone and urged him to proceed.
Meng Long nodded half-heartedly as deep down he was concerned to leave her here alone to let Cang Xue handle all the beasts on her own.
With some hesitation, he walked towards the Cave. 𝒇r𝙚𝙚𝓌𝙚𝑏𝗻𝑜𝘷𝗲𝘭.c૦𝑚
Inside was a spacious place as there was a magic circle drawn on the floor and was illuminated by the glowing stones that were engraved on the cave's wall.
He went inside the mid of the cave and sat at the center of the magic circle.
As soon as his buttock touched the floor, everything around him changed.
He was standing in an enormous hall, the walls were made up of very bright white stones.
A middle-aged man was standing a few meters away from him, who looked to be in his early thirties.
"Welcome, Yue Yan. This is Shadow Dream. I'm Han Yu, the lord of this trial." The middle-aged man greeted him with a happy smile. 𝑓𝗿𝐞𝘦𝘄e𝘣n𝘰𝘷eƖ.c𝘰𝗺
Meng Long didn't say anything, which caused Han Yu to sigh and continue with the explanation.
"Everyone who comes here has a few options they get. Their choices decide their future. But you will only be given two routes." Han Yu said and hovered his both hands to his sides.
Two blue door's appeared at the left and right side of the middle-aged man. A silver light was coming from both of them.
"The door on the left is for Shangguan Bing'er and the right one is for Cang Xue.
If you walk to the left door, you will become the ally of XiéLóng temple and Shangguan Bing'er will gain all her lost memories about you. After XiéLóng temple captures Cang Xue, you two will be sent to your Earth.
You can also choose to stay in this world and have great power, riches, beautiful women, and everything you desire.
On the other hand, if you enter the right door you will become the enemy of XiéLóng temple. You will have to fight Shangguan Bing'er and many others along with her who have been summoned to support XiéLóng temple to capture Cang Xue - dead or alive." Han Fu explained to him.
Meng Long started walking towards one of the doors. Seeing his direction, the middle-aged man narrowed his eyes and asked, "So you will still pick Cang Xue even after Your girlfriend will be against you?"
"What I choose has nothing to do with you. You don't have to worry about my women." Meng Long responded in a cold voice.
"What an Arrogant lad..." Han Fu cursed him inwardly.
The boy entered the blue door at the right and a silver light enveloped his entire body.
He was standing in the midst of a huge hall, only two people were present there and having a deep conversation.
A blonde-haired man was sitting on a throne which had it's head decorated by an azure phoenix with spread wings.
A black-haired young man was standing in front of him. His matured facial design matched Meng Long.
"Father?" He mumbled inwardly, seeing someone from his past life standing in this ongoing shadow dream trial.
