However, Fane gave up such thoughts when he saw the change in the Divine Void Warrior’s eyes. This phantom had his own intellect, after all!
This…was too…
Fane felt unnerved as he could not make out what he felt. What were these things?
"Let go of me! I’m sorry! It was my mistake! I won't do it again!" A heart-wrenching cry came from his left, and Fane turned around to look. He noticed that almost everybody stood still in their places, but their faces were extremely expressive. The cry came from a Muddled Origin Clan disciple.
The disciple’s body tensed while a frightened expression was written all over his face. He seemed to be pleading as tears trickled down his cheek, wetting his shirt in the process. It was apparent that he had been crying for some time. He was not the only one to react in such a way, however, as most of the disciples were in the same situation when Fane took a look around.
It was not hard for Fane to imagine what sort of an illusion these people were in when he thought about his previous expression. The illusion slowly unfolded every piece of fear buried in the disciples' hearts, turning them into reality. Experiencing such pain was not something a normal person could endure.
"Ufh!" The disciple’s face blushed a crimson color before he suddenly vomited a mouthful of blood and looked like he was about to fall over. After the Muddled Origin Clan disciple vomited a mouthful of blood, he looked like a cooked prawn and was unusually red. Moments later, he, unable to keep himself composed, fell to the ground with a thud.
The Muddled Origin Clan disciple who was the first one to be eliminated had already accepted his fate and was observing his surroundings as he tended to his wounds. When he saw a figure slowly moving up the slope, his eyeballs almost popped out of his sockets as he blurted, "He's passed the first test already? He managed to escape the illusion by himself?"
Nobody could answer his questions as everyone else was deep in their illusions apart from Fane and himself.
"Who is this? He’s wearing the Dual Sovereign Pavilion disciple’s attire, but… Why haven’t I seen him in the past? No! I saw him just now! Isn’t this Fane, the person who got into a fight with Senior Brother Theo just now?!"
