Nobilis of War

The silvery eyes of the Rule Soul Avatar penetrated the complicated law silk threads and caught what he wanted. Using the magic silvery eyes, he trapped a voice wave that had almost vanished and re-condensed in his mind.

"Great. I'll kill him by myself at once."

He stiffened as he heard the words.

Realizing the danger, the Rule Soul Avatar withdrew his silvery eyes, but his expression remained cold and unchanged.

Inside his head, he quickly ran through several options of escape; however, each of them had difficulties and he couldn't come up with a perfect way. The one who was going to kill him was an Immortal Lord.

There was no way that he could fight him and win so he had to choose a way to try and escape. At last, the Rule Soul Avatar came up with a plan.

Closing his eyes, the Rule Soul Avatar gathered the latest understanding of the Splitting Law and split himself into pieces, vanishing in the air like a smoke. The girls beside him didn't notice what was happening until he was gone.

"My Lord, he disappeared," one of the girls said.

"What?"

Swoosh!

A bright light shone in front of them and a handsome man in a golden dragon robe and a crown appeared.

"Splitting? That's clever! But do you really think that you can get away from me?"

The Immortal Lord reached out his white palm and then snapped his fingers.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The whole space started to shake, and a terrible immortal's power quickly swept through every inch of the space.

Now that the Rule Soul Avatar's body was only molecules, he wouldn't be strong enough to survive the power.

When it was over, the Immortal Lord was left confused. He frowned slightly and looked around, seeing that he had attacked nothing.

"His analyzing skill is so strong! Even his escape route is disguised!" He tried harder, but the Immortal Lord could not sense the young man.

Before he had arrived there, the Immortal Lord had used one of his strong skills to find out what had happened. With that skill, he had been able to discover that

the Rule Soul Avatar had spilt himself into molecules with the Splitting Law. But he hadn't expected that it had just been a distraction. In fact, before the Rule Soul Avatar split himself, he had used the Hiding Law to run away quietly, and then he had left a shadow to make an illusion that he had split himself up.

This method seemed simple, but it was actually quite complicated. The one using it had to master the use of various laws before they could master it.

What was more, the Rule Soul Avatar didn't know anything about the Immortal Lord. He didn't know what kind of skills the Immortal Lord had. He imagined and analyzed all the possibilities in such a short time and decided on the best escape route. The fact that the Rule Soul Avatar had escaped successfully showed that he was so good at analyzing.

"What a pity that he has to die!" the Immortal Lord said, gazing into the distance. However, he got over the agony of it very fast.

"Shadow guards," the Immortal Lord called out coldly.

"Yes, My Lord!" four disembodied voices replied at the same time.

"Go to the north and search for him. Kill him in six hours." There was a trace of pity in the Immortal Lord's eyes after he finished his words, but he knew that he could do nothing to change the Rule Soul Avatar's fate.

"Yes, My Lord!"

Immediately after his orders, the Immortal Lord departed.

"What on earth did he do? Why he has to die?"

"It's a pity that such a talent has to be assassinated."

"Alas! The shadow guards will definitely find and kill him no matter how good he is at escaping. He will die."

The several girls who were responsible for collecting the Rule Soul Avatar sighed.

In the test space

Barnes' face was bleeding and starting to bruise when he fell in front of Darren and others.

"What happened?" they all asked with gaping mouths.

"I don't know." Barnes gritted his teeth and shook his head in pain.

"You don't know what has attacked you?" Finley asked.

"Go and have a try by yourself. Don't ask me. I'm in pain." Barnes sat down with his legs crossed and closed his eyes, concentrating all his power on healing his wounds. "Let me have a try," Finley said and began walking forward cautiously.

From where he stood, it looked like the exit to the test space. Green scenery and a blue sky were visible through the opening.

When he arrived at the place where Barnes had been before, he became more cautious and gathered more god's power.

He crept forward, keeping his eyes and ears all the way open.

There was only one more step until he reached the exit, and Finley was still safe and sound.

"What?"

He stopped and he didn't dare to go any further.

"Finley, you need to try and walk outside. It's the only way we'll know." Darren's voice came from behind.

After hesitating for a while, Finley stepped over the threshold.

As he walked outside of the cave, he was entirely intact.

"Let's go," Darren said to Aaron and the mysterious old man, who were standing beside him. They watched him cautiously as he stepped forward. Holding onto each other, Darren and Aaron walked out of the cave.

However, the old man was thrown backwards by a powerful, invisible force! When he stood, he was bleeding badly just like Barnes.

"What?" Darren frowned.

"Waah... Waah..." The old man shrank into a ball, looking very scared.

"I think I know why." Finley narrowed his eyes and added, "I guess they were tribulation warriors, so they can't come out."

Darren nodded silently.

"We can ask the emissaries when they are here." Being smart about it, Darren transformed back to the stranger he had disguised as before so he wouldn't be recognized by others. A moment later, an emissary arrived.

"Congratulations for your passing the examination.

But because it took you two hours to pass, there is no reward for you," he explained. Two months in the test space was equivalent to an hour in the reality.

Darren had spent time assimilating the killing intent for several months, so they couldn't get the rewards.

If Darren had only wanted to pass the test and he hadn't assimilated the killing intent, they would have been out within half an hour.

"It doesn't matter." Darren pointed at the exit of the cave and said, "Sir, why are my other two friends trapped inside? We passed the test together."

The emissary glanced through the tunnel and said, "They are different. They are tribulation cultivators, and they are very talented, so they have to pass through the killing test of tribulation."

"Killing test? Does that mean that they might die in the test?" Finley asked.

"You're wrong." The emissary put his hands behind his back and said, "The killing test is a good thing for them. Once they pass it, they will be eleven-tribulation warriors. But even if they fail, their lives will not be in danger. But it will be more difficult for their cultivation in the future."

Darren and Finley felt a little relieved after hearing the emissary's words.

In fact, it seemed that this test would reap lots of benefits for both Barnes and the mysterious old man.

If they went through the eleventh tribulation outside, it would be very dangerous and there would be a high probability of death.☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
