NOVEL NEXT 51 Mana Heart!
*Ack!*
Spitting out a mouthful of blood, Ye Tian tried to calm his nerves down
Feeling his current state, he knew that every unnecessary action he did would only make his situation worse
Now he needed to find a way to pull out the arrows from his body as it seemed that something within them was inhibiting his healing abilities from working Obviously whoever was plotting against him had learnt from the last trial and made some adjustments to his plans
Thinking of this, Ye Tian silently began to recall the details of this quest
[Main Quest: successfully reach the end of the maze within 72 hours
Note: Hidden rooms and chests are scattered all through the maze however not all chest symbolizes treasure and every hidden room is one to be found
Sub Quest: Find the key hidden on the second floor
Total attempts: 3/3]
Just reading it again nothing seemed special, however, a certain thing written there caught Ye Tians attention
[Total attempts: 3/3]
Just from this, Ye Tian knew he wouldn't die completely if he lost his life here
Rather, unlike the first floor where his life was on the line, the second clear gives each trialist three attempts to clear it regardless Looking I'm at it objectively it seemed to be a good thing, however Ye Tian knew everything was good as it seemed
"Three lives hunh, I don't remember how many people fell prey to these so-called benefits"
"Just thinking about it now makes me sigh at my naive self back then, how could something so good exist?"
Think of the side effects from each attempt, Ye Tian couldn't help but shiver
Not only did people who got killed and had to redo the trial have lower floor rewards, but the effects it had on them individually were horrendous This was especially true given the fact that being able to revive and redo the trial didn't mean you wouldn't have to die And that experience of dying left many trialists in Ye Tians' last life recked as some of them even had a complete mental breakdown after dying twice
However, what truly made Ye Tian not want to die was the fact that each revival was not complete And this was not to say that you wouldn't be received with full health, in fact you would sometimes your physical state might even be better than when you entered since you have a complete physical repair
Unfortunately what the tower didn't say was that while you might have been physically okay, but your soul had taken a hit
And while that might not mean much, but after going up multiple floors it wouldn't be surprising to find your soul would already be in pieces making it unable for you to go on much less get strong
Remembering all this, Ye Tian knew more and more that he couldn't afford to lose here
Luckily it seems that Lady Luck was on his side as he just thought of a plan that might get him out of the current situation "The mana technique!"
"As long as I manage to gather a bit of mana, I can use it to strengthen my arms and pull out these darn arrows!"
"Not only that, if my guess is correct it should also be able to deal with the poison, and even if it can't, my healing factor should be enough to deal with it!"
Laying down on the ground, Ye Tuan who was at the edge of deaths door quickly began to run the mana technique hoping his guess was right
Thankfully at this time his experience on using mana in his past life came into play making it easier for him to get started with the technique *Badump!-Badump!*
*Badump!-Badump!*
With the running of the technique, Ye Tians heart which had already started to slow down unexpectedly began to speed up again with every beat sonorous like a huge drum
The air suddenly turned cool as even with his eyes pierced by arrows Ye Tian seemed to see whisper of different colours flowing in the air all around him
Some red, some blue, some green, and others brown, Ye Tian even saw some other colours like white and black hovering around him
Looking at this, Ye Tian knew that that's were the different attributes of mana, with red for fire, blue for water, green for wind and brown for earth
And while these were not the only elements, these were the foundational elements needed to manipulate mana
"We'll now that I've sensed them, I'm already done with the first step"
"Next I need to somehow guide the mana into my heart in order to be able to manipulate, fortunately for me who already has the strength of a B level awakener and posses B level spirit, such a thing couldn't be easier"
Mummrung to himself, Ye Tian wrapped a a part of the surrounding mana and began to drag it to his chest
*Boom!*
And upon contact, a huge explosion seemed to have occurred in Ye Tian's mind causing him to blank out for a bit.
And the tower, seeming to have noticed his change quickly sent him a series of announcements [it is detected that trialist Ye Tain has gathered mana in his heart and become a first-order awakener]
[congratulations trialist for being the first from the blue star to achieve this]
[additional rewards would be given after completing this trial]
Saying this, the tower once again felt silent ignoring Ye Tian who was still sprawled out on the floor
Unfortunately, Ye Tian who was just shocked a minute ago hadn't fully recovered yet making him miss the message
"Hmm? Did the tower just say something?" Ye Tian murmured
But just like before, there was no answer to his question "Well I'm sure it wasn't that important, and even if it was I'll just check that later on the screen"
"Right now, I need to focus on getting out of the current situation!"
Gritting his teeth, Ye Tuan channeled some of that newly gotten mana through his arms allowing him to regain feeling in it
But even that wast enough, after making a few fists and confirming that there weren't any issues, Ye Tian did something that left the audience wincing in pain
"Argh!!! Damn that hurts!"
Trying to control his pain, Ye Tian ripped the first arrow directly out of his chest causing him to experience excruciating pain
And following that momentum, he bragged out the toe arrows that had been lodged in his eyes causing him to unknowingly kneel as he felt huge waves of pain flood through his body at once. "Arghhh!! However is tampering with my trials don't let me get a hold of you, if not you'll regret it"
"Fortunately for you this time you get a pass since I don't who nor where you are"
Struggling to stand, Ye Tian cursed out unreservedly as whoever planned this as his immortality trait began to take actions
But the fact is they did heal after removing the arrows from his body so obviously the problem was the arrow
21:47
*Sigh… alright, let's reaffirm to the audience that I'm okay while also taking advantage of this to win some sympathy and deepen the connection with them*
Thankfully his guess seemed to be correct, as while the invites were healing slower than usual But the fact is they did heal after removing the arrows from his body so obviously the problem was the arrow
*Sigh… alright, let's reaffirm to the audience that I'm okay while also taking advantage of this to win some sympathy and deepen the connection with them*
*Another thing, since two arrows pierced through my mask, cracks have started to appear on it"
Feeling the cracks slowly expanding on his mask, Ye Tian knew that if he didn't find a replacement soon then his identity might end up being exposed It was just that currently he was in the middle of the second floor, and during trials there was no what to access the tower store
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but shake his head
"Well forget about it for now, I'll just have to make sure to be careful from now"
"However since we can't deal with the mask issue, we should deal with the audience"
As if he could feel their nervousness on the other side of the screen, Ye Tian unknowingly had a smile underneath his mask
Fortunately by now both the whole in his chest and eyes had healed making him able to see, in fact had it not been for the patches of blood on his shirt and fact, it would almost have been impossible to be live that he was someone dying a few minutes ago
Sighing at his wisdom for creating such an ability, Ye Tian turned towards the familiar floating eyeball that had been hovering over him for some time now
"Haha yellow there my dear audience, as you can see I was in quite the pickle just now"
"But don't worry, I'm alright it's just that this trial might be a little more tricky than I expected"
Laughing heartily, although Ye Tian didn't directly state it but the audience members could feel an angry undertone from his voice just now
Obviously what he was in was not just a simple 'pickle'
