The Lustful Young Master is Sinister! - Chapter 214

Chapter 214: Trial of soul -2
He ascended the steps cautiously, the pressure of the stairs growing stronger with each step he took. His soul felt a little heavy weight bearing down on him, as if the very aura around him was trying to crush him.

As he reached the top, he found himself in a vast, empty room.

The only thing he could see was a single glowing orb at the center.

The glowing orb was a source of pure soul power, and as he drew closer to it, he could feel its immense energy washing over him.

“This must be the first trial,” he thought to himself, marveling at the sheer energy emanating from the orb.

He was puzzled by its simplicity. He had not expected the first trial to be so straightforward with just a glowing orb in a dark room.

“But why?”, he thought to himself. “Could this be a test of my soul’s strength? Or perhaps there’s more to it than meets the eye?”

He looked around the room, searching for any clues or signs that would explain the orb’s purpose, but found nothing as he was able to fathom his trial at all

He took a few steps towards the orb, but before he could reach it, the orb suddenly spoke.

The orb’s voice was deep and booming, like a roar that echoed through the room.

“You seek the Trial of the Soul?” it said, its voice carrying a weight that seemed to press against his soul.

Bai Lung was taken aback by the orb’s unexpected speech, but he quickly composed himself.

“Yes! ” he replied earnestly, his voice steady despite the trepidation that was beginning to flutter within him.

Hearing this,

The orb floated closer to him, its light growing brighter and brighter until it appeared almost blinding, right in front of Bai Lung.

“Why do you seek the Trial of the Soul?”, the orb asked.

Its voice seemed to reverberate through the very fabric of reality.

Bai Lung hesitated for a moment, wondering if he should reveal his reasons for seeking the trial to the orb.

But he knew that honesty was the best policy, so he decided to speak truthfully.

After all, lying might backfire.

“I seek the Trial of the Soul because I want to become stronger,” he said quietly. “I want to become a legendary powerhouse that way, I can kill any ant and bread a lot of beautiful maidens,”

Orb: “…”

The orb appeared to consider his answer for a long moment, its light pulsing with green finding the truth in his words.

“You seek power and women?” it said finally, its voice heavy with disdain, “But do you truly understand what it means to wield such power? Strength is a double-edged sword, one that can cut both your enemies and yourself, ”

” Can you stop with this bullshit- ”

Bai Lung felt a chill run down his very Soul before he could even finish his sentence.

The orb seemed taken aback by Bai Lung’s outburst, its light flickering momentarily before returning to its normal intensity.

“Watch your tongue, mortal,” it warned, its voice carrying a hint of anger.

“Do not forget that you are here because you sought the Trial of the Soul, and you are in no position to disrespect me… Hmph! Useless Bumpkin! ”

He hadn’t expected such a reaction from the seemingly passive orb.

“Forgive me honorable one,” he said quickly, bowing his head slightly. ( In soul form )

“It was not my intention to disrespect you. I am merely nervous and eager to begin the trial… ”

The orb seemed to calm down at his apology, its light returning to its steady pulse.

“Very well,” it said, its voice losing some of its earlier hostility.

“Since you are ready to begin the trial, I will tell you what you must do,”

The orb floated closer to him, its light enveloping him in a warm glow.

“To pass the first trial, you must absorb the energy within this room,” it said simply.

Bai Lung looked confused. It couldn’t be as simple as just absorbing energy from the room, right?

“That’s it?” he asked, his brow furrowing. “I just have to absorb the energy in this room?”

The orb pulsed gently, its light seeming to laugh at his confusion.

“You make it sound so simple,” it said, its voice almost mocking. “But let me assure you, the task is not as straightforward as it seems,”

Bai Lung: “…”?

Bai Lung felt a sense of trepidation creeping up on him. If just absorbing the energy in the room wasn’t as simple as it sounded, then what was the catch?

“What do you mean?” he asked, his voice tinged with worry. “What’s the catch?”

The orb pulsed again, its light growing brighter and brighter with each beat, as if it was enjoying.

“The catch is that the room’s energy is not simply energy,” the orb explained. “It is a reflection of your own soul.”

Bai Lung’s eyes widened in surprise. “My own soul?” he asked with a face full of disbelief.

“Indeed,” the orb confirmed.

“The energy in this room is a reflection of your own soul. To absorb the energy is to face your own soul, your deepest fears, your darkest desires, and your truest aspirations,”

Bai Lung felt a chill as the orb’s words sunk in. He had come here seeking power and strength, but he had not expected to face his own soul.

“So, to pass the trial, I have to confront my own soul?” he asked, his voice trembling slightly.

“Nope!,” the orb replied.

“The trial is simple, absorb all the energy in this room.

Bai Lung: “…”

“But the room is totally dark not to mention, there is no source of energy here,” Bai Lung hurriedly uttered.

“Well, don’t tell me that… It’s the reflection of your soul, even I was surprised that you have such a dark soul, and no energy after all, even the soul created by ‘Se’ has energy” The orb responded.

“So? I failed?” Bai Lung was flabbergasted.

“No! There is a total of three energy available in this room, leaving me it’s two… You have to absorb the energy of your soul,”
