Yin-Yang Harmony System

Chapter 136

After reading the letter, he got a good grasp of the situation. He never expected to get help from that girl.

After poisoning him, the guy in a black jacket and other members of the Dark Raven Organization was supposed to help the guy who poisoned him leave the Imperial State with teleportation. If she hadn't stopped them, then Mad Beast Emperor would've never known about the true culprit.

Daniel had already told him about the culprit. And, also his master returning empty-handed. But, he was still able to find the culprit. It turns out Alena was the one who helped them stop the culprit from getting away from the Imperial State.

She also hinted to meet him after the end of the tournament which was not so surprising since she betrayed them only to please him.

'Did I underestimated myself?' Mike questioned himself for a moment even though he knew that was just a false assumption. It wasn't because he underestimated himself rather because she was like Sunny. Except, Alena doesn't go around fucking boys for money rather for pleasure.

Mike sighed and put the letter inside this system space. After half an hour, his master enters the room. The dinner was the meat of several beasts. They were carefully chosen by Daniel that can improve Mike's stamina and strength.

After the food, everyone returned back to the room. It was another lonely night for him. After sleeping with Jenny for a month, he got a habit of sleeping every day with her. This time, he really misses her a lot. After thinking for a while, he takes out of his phone and calls her.

The light was on as both of them video chat each other. After discussing basic conditions, Jenny asked "Did you watch today's matches?"

"No! Did you watch it?" Understanding her background, he wouldn't be surprised if she got the private broadcast of this tournament.

"Yeah! I asked my dad for that. Mike, it seems you will be in deep trouble." Jenny spoke with a serious expression on her face. This made him confused even more.

"Hmm! What kind of trouble are you talking about?" Mike wasn't sure whether she was talking about the poison or something else. He hasn't told her about it nor has he told anyone else. So, he was a little confused.

"I am not talking about poison. I was angry at you for not telling me about this. But, I can understand you. After all, nobody would share bad news with others. I am talking about another trouble. Do you remember Harry and Daniel? They are also participating in the tournament." When her words rang on his ears, the slaughter spirit erupts out of him.

"I know you are angry. But you need to decide your action based on facts, not on emotions. If you think you can kill them, go for it. I won't stop you. But if you can't, then please don't die." These words instantly helped him regain his consciousness.

She was right. He was losing his mind on anger. But thankfully, he was able to get back soon with her words alone. He took a deep breath and said "Don't worry! I will not attack them until I understand their strength. But, I will definitely kill them before losing them once again."

"Alright!" Jenny nodded her head with a smile as if she had already expected this answer.

"You are not going to ask me how?" Mike was a little confused seeing her smile.

"Mike, when you become the strongest person in the world, I believe you will tell me everything. Until then, I will wait." Jenny merely smiled and spoke.

Mike looked at her with shock on his face. He couldn't understand why she was so confident. But, soon his shock was replaced with a smile as he nods his head.

"By the way, I have another bad news for you. Typically, it's not bad news." Jenny spoke as her smile fades away with a solemn expression on her face. After his smile fades away, she continued "Lucas is being too hard on himself. Until now, he entered the Ascending to Godhood three times and returned covered in blood for two times. Although his cultivation improved, he is risking his life a lot."

"Then, why are you and Lauren sitting doing nothing? Stop his madness! He should understand his current situation. If something happens to him, Lauren would lose herself." Mike shouted through the phone as his expression changed to anxiety.

"I couldn't do anything. Lauren said we shouldn't stop him. There is no point in stopping him now. If he is stopped, he might end up doing something even worse. Lauren understands her brother more than you and me. So, I couldn't argue with her." Jenny tried to explain but the mood only worsened.

Mike gritted his teeth trying to swallow his anger. After few minutes, he spoke, "Alright, tell him to take care of himself."

Mike couldn't go against Lauren. After all, she is the one who understands Lucas and Luke a lot better. After that, they talked for few more minutes and finally said good night to each other. Only then Mike could sleep peacefully.

His good sleep was ruined by the ray of sun that fell in his eyes from the window. His room was pretty much isolated but he was surprised that sunlight can still reach his room.

'Alright, today is the day for the new challenge.' Mike smashed his fists together and a smile beamed on his face.

...

Half an hour later,

'Are you fucking kidding me?' It was the thoughts ringing in his mind when he heard MC's explanation for the second round. Unlike in the first round, the second round doesn't include fighting. It includes something closely related to the participant.

In fact, MC clearly pointed out that this stage is the easiest stage among all five. But, it also reveals a person's true nature giving them a chance to review his character.

After explaining everything, a blue light covered them as each of them entered the Virtual Space. Mike found himself in the middle of train tracks. In front of him, there was a long track. And, it is connected with two different tracks that pass from both of his sides.

Suddenly, a voice rang in his mind 'Hello Participant! This Trial Stage has three different levels you need to cross. Each of them has a different trial. The trial you need to pass will be 'Being True to Yourself. If you can't be true to yourself, you can move forward.'

'Life is full choices. One wrong choice will change the world. One second late will make you lose someone. For your first level, you have a remote in your hand. There are two buttons that represent left and right.'

'Now, please look at your right side.'

Mike followed the instruction and turned his gaze to the right side. His heart instantly jerked. In his right, Jenny was tied with a giant metal boulder with thick change.

"Jenny!" Mike shouted as he tried to move but something pressed him hard.

At this moment, the voice rang in his brain once again.

'Now, please look at your left side.'

He gritted his teeth and swallowed his anger remembering this was just a trial. He took a deep breath trying to get the gist of the trial. When he turned to his left, he saw seven unknown people. Four of them were men while three were women.

But, he doesn't know anyone of them.

'Human shouldn't be selfish. This is our viewpoint. One life can't be compared with seven lives. If you have seven people in the war, you can have better chances to win. If you have only one friend at war, you won't chance to win.'

'If you press right, you will save seven people. Many will treat you as a good person. These seven people will treat you as a master. Many emperors will take you as their disciple. But if you press left, you will be a selfish guy in other's eyes. Can you live your life where you will be treated as an eyesore?'

'Can you live a life without the protection of someone strong? Can you live without a society? Now, make your choice. The train will arrive in five seconds.'

'One!'

Click!

When the countdown started, Mike instantly pressed the left button.

Hooooo!

Seeing the train crashing seven people into blood paste, the entire crowd gasped. That was too fast for them to digest. One second, all it took him was a single second to decide the fate of seven people.

At this moment, even the examiner who was currently watching the trial inside the room was in dilemma. His reaction was asking for hundred points but it was hard to give him a hundred points after he took the lives of seven people.

Mike who was holding the remote near his mouth spoke "I don't know whether you can hear me or not. But if the examiners can hear me, I have few words for you."

In fact, they could hear him. They could also hear that narrator's voice. So, when he said that, everyone curiously listened to him only to get astonished.

"Fuck you! Piece of shits!"

These were his words as he raises his middle finger to the crowd.
