Ascension Of The Immortal Asura

Chapter 441 - Start Of The Trial

Flashes of light filled the valleys and mountains in the testing area, as several thousands youths were teleported into the testing area. The testing area was large enough that each disciple was several miles away from each other, giving them a small window of time to prepare for the trials to come.

Upon getting a grasp of their surroundings, the youths all had different reactions on how to proceed. Some immediately found a place to hide, hoping that they would be able to allude capture. Some set up traps and other means of aiding their chances, and some immediately sped off at random, seeking out others to obtain their badges.

…

In one part of the testing area, a girl with blonde hair and piercing blue eyes spread her divine sense out in all directions before retracting it. Her gaze shifted in every direction, as her eyes seemed to change a shade, turning an even more piercing and mesmerizing color of blue.

These eyes of hers swept across everything that was in her line of sight, before a frown appeared on her face.

"I don't see him at all. He must be on the other side of one of these mountains for him to evade my eyes...Oh well, I'm sure I'll run into him eventually. I might as well take the time to look for any good opportunities this area may hold."

The girl's eyes swept in all directions once more before locking onto a seemingly barren part of one of the mountains in the distance. Her eyes lit up slightly as her eyes once again seemed to change a slight shade, becoming more profound by the second.

"Something this valuable is just lying around in this testing area? I guess I'm quite lucky today!"

Without another word, the girl sped off in the distance towards the place her gaze had rested on.

...

Lightning cackled ceaselessly around a youth that sped through the testing area at incredible speeds. The powerful lightning continuously danced all over his skin, making him appear as if he was a lightning god. His Late Meridian Forging cultivation flared out without a care for who felt it, as the youth acted as if he reigned supreme within the testing area.

Boulders shattered and trees splintered as the youth smashed through any obstacle in his way, as if those obstacles didn't even exist. He pierced in a straight line towards whatever direction he wanted to go, as his body carved a visible trail of destruction and ruin through the valleys. The lightning cackling around his body charred any vegetation it came into contact with, making his trail of ruin one of fire and destruction.

While speeding through the testing area at immense speed, the youth suddenly stopped in his tracks as his gaze snapped to another nearby youth he had run into. The other youth had been climbing the mountainside for a better vantage point, when all of a sudden the lightning clad boy had smashed through the nearby forest, arriving directly before him.

"Aaron," the boy cried out as he looked at the lightning clad youth.

The lightning covered youth was Aaron, who was one of the two Late Meridian Forging youths. Aaron stared at the boy he had just run across, and looked at him with a raised nose.

"Brett, you're quite unlucky to have already run into me," Aaron replied.

Brett looked at Aaron with a panicked expression. He was only in the early Meridian Forging Realm, and could not contest with the strongest disciple of his branch sect.

"Can you let me off?" Brett asked Aaron with a pleading expression. "I'm sure you'll obtain hundreds of badges...and we come from the same branch sect. Surely you can let me go?"

Aaron stared at Brett in silence for a moment before a scowl appeared on his face.

"What kind of meek dogtshit attitude is this? I was just going to take your badge and leave due to us being from the same sect, but now I'm going to beat the shit out of you to teach you a little lesson before I take your badge."

Brett's expression immediately turned into one of great panic as he turned to flee at his fastest speed.

Bang!

Aaron's fist slammed into Brett's back as he immediately arrived next to him. The sound of bones creaking and fracturing echoed out, as Brett was launched into the far distance at incredible speeds. He slammed against the mountainside of another nearby mountain, the force of the collision causing a large crater to form on the mountainside.

The loud noise caught the attention of all those in the valley below, who looked up to see a streak of lightning jump across from one of the mountainsides to the one where the crater had just formed, slamming into the crater with absolute power.

Boom!

Another thunderous boom echoed out across the valleys below, as all the youths in the valley could immediately tell who had caused that destruction. They all instantly fled the area at their fastest speeds, not wanting to be the next one to catch the wrath of the person on the mountainside above.

Aaron stood up within the crater he had formed as he stared at the motionless body of Brett. A scowl lingered on his face as he reached down and took the identification badge off of Brett's unconscious body.

"Pathetic. With an attitude like that, you don't deserve to be part of the True Heavenly Lightning Sect," Aaron spat out in disgust.

After obtaining the badge, Aarons vision swept out across the mountainside and the valley below. The valley below had a large river meandering through it, while lush forests lined both sides of the river and stretched halfway up the mountainsides.

He could see dozens of other youths fleeing as fast as they could, and a smile quickly formed on his face as he watched them flee.

"Hunter and prey is it? I don't mind playing that game."

Bang!

Lightning exploded all around his body once again as he jumped out from the crater with incredible speed.. His body, which appeared like a blur of lightning, sped down to the valley below as he began his hunt.
