Chapter 2044 Experiencing all kinds of things is what made Song Shuhang strong
“Are you sure you want to take this job?” Pavilion Master Chu’s hair swayed in the wind as she said, “You do know that temporary workers receive the most blame, right?”
Song Shuhang replied boldly, “That’s not a problem. I’ll take the position.”
First, Senior White suggested taking this job. Second, he could give Sixteen some leeway in the trial, so why not just take the job?
With Senior White around, even if something did happen, he would definitely not have to shoulder the blame. Instead, the blame would probably fall onto the world itself, so Song Shuhang felt at ease.
“Then, the deal is sealed.” The divine dragon rubbed its claws and temporarily transferred some of its authority to Song Shuhang.
Song Shuhang was given the authority of a trial officer.
Everyone who passed Song Shuhang’s trial could go to the divine dragon to receive the dragon’s blessing and have their (Holy Ape Dragon Power Technique) improved and a dragon tattoo added to their holy apes.
As for the content of the trial, the divine dragon gave Song Shuhang the freedom to decide it. It did not plan on interfering with Song Shuhang’s trial method. The only requirement it had was that the difficulty of the trial had to meet a certain standard.
In addition, the divine dragon gave Sage White and Fairy White Dragon some authority as well, because it saw that the duo was also very interested in the matter.
It lured one worker and got two more for free. It was a great deal.
Moreover, this was a deal where it made a huge profit-it was the kind of deal where it bought a potato and got two gold bars as
extra.
The divine dragon floated nearby happily, entering into observer mode.
It was different from the ape kings. Their trials were changed every year but in name only. The main purpose remained the same, which was to send the trial takers to the golden moon.
On the other hand, the divine dragon had to change the content of its trial every year. Because of that, over the years, it had lost its
imagination. And now, it could no longer come up with new ways to test the trial takers.
It hoped that little friend Tyrannical Song could give it a surprise, helping it come up
with new ideas.
Song Shuhang, Senior White, and Sister White Dragon descended to the ground.
Song Shuhang asked, “Senior White, what do you think should be the content of our trial?”
“How about you just use the Expert’s Appraisal?” The black Scarlet Heaven Sword
suggested the most realistic plan. In this way, they could identify the peerless experts within the group with a single glance.
“If possible, I would rather not use that here,” Song Shuhang retorted.
He had already given too much “love” to the universe. He felt that he needed to take it slow and improve his image. This was to make sure that when he ascended to the Eighth Stage Realm for real and he held his Divinity Show, he would be received in a more positive
manner.
“Yes, let’s keep the Impregnating gaze as a
last resort,” Senior White agreed. He said this because none of the trial takers was immune to the Impregnating Gaze, so no one was going to pass the test.
However, the Impregnating Gaze could make it into the trial even if it was not used directly. After all, it could be used as a way to
test the mental strength of the trial takers.
Senior White asked, “Soft Feather, Fellow Daoist Scarlet Heaven Sword, as inner demons, you should be able to create a bunch of phantoms of Shuhang, right? They don’t need to have any attack power. It’s fine as long as they can replicate his appearance.” Scarlet Heaven Sword replied, “That’s a very simple matter. After all, Shuhang’s body is right here. It’s as simple as copy and paste.”
“Very good.” Senior White nodded. “In a while, place some of Shuhang’s phantoms in various places in the trial area. After the trial
takers enter the area, make it look like the phantoms are casting the Impregnating Gaze on them. This method can be used to test
their will.”
The black Scarlet Heaven Sword said, “Good idea. Soft Feather, let’s do it.”
The black-skinned Soft Feather stepped out from Song Shuhang’s shadow and reminded gently, “My name is Butterfly Song White
Creation Yellow Trigram Lychee Six Dou Phoenix.”
“Nobody is going to remember that name.”
The black Scarlet Heaven Sword could not
help but retort.
The black-skinned Soft Feather looked
aggrieved. Regardless, she and the black Scarlet Heaven Sword began making phantoms with Song Shuhang’s appearance in mind. Then, according to Senior White’s instructions, spread them all over the trial
area.
Song Shuhang took out a small notebook and
began to take notes. When he returned to the Black Dragon World, he would set up a new inheritance area for Scarlet Pupil.
He could just copy Senior White’s plans for
the current trial and have Scarlet Pupil go through the same tests.
“By the way, have you experienced anything particularly thrilling?” Senior White asked while pinching his chin. If anybody had any
such experiences, he could make them part of the trial. “There are quite a few.” Song Shuhang quickly ran through his memories ever since
he entered the world of cultivation and blurted out, “One example is when I just picked up Senior White after you came out of seclusion. Back then, the large hole that Senior White created after falling to the
ground made my entire body go weak.” Pavilion Master Chu’s strand of hair above Song Shuhang’s head shook lightly, silently moving down to his back from the top of his head.
“Mm-hm, we can work with that.” Senior
White nodded. “After the trial takers come here and pass the test of will, Shuhang can go
over and fall onto the ground in front of them.”
Song Shuhang looked confused. Why am I the one who has to do that?
“Because you’re the trial officer,” said Senior
White calmly. At this moment, he also had a small notebook in his hand and was writing something down.
“Wait, Senior White. I’m afraid I won’t be
able to blow up that big of a hole when I fall.”
Song Shuhang tried changing Senior White’s mind. Senior White smiled at Song Shuhang and said, “Don’t worry, I will use a magical technique when you fall to make sure you recreate the effect.”
Song Shuhang: Did I just screw myself over?
“Also, I propose that we have Shuhang release
his illusory reality.” The black Scarlet Heaven Sword suggested after arranging Song Shuhang’s phantoms.
“But my Pseudo Illusory Reality does not have any lethality. At most, it can do some heavenly-tribulation-type damage,” said Song Shuhang. Additionally, the ending in his illusory reality was usually a scene of him
burning on a demonic god pillar, screaming as he died. It was very embarrassing for him.
“That’s not the illusory reality I’m talking about. I’m referring to the ‘death experience’
that you showed back when we were in the Black Dragon World.” The black Scarlet Heaven Sword was indeed an inner demon, and it had many deranged ideas. What it was referring to was what Scarlet
Pupil saw back then, when the young boy had experienced Song Shuhang’s various deaths. This included when Song Shuhang was beaten to death over and over again in the scholarly faction’s world of the golden lotus by the fat ball. Back then, copious amounts of blood were left all over the place.
Then, there was the agonizing experience
from when Song Shuhang died by forging his own body into a life-bound magical treasure. After that was when he closed up and inexplicably exploded and died. Besides those, there was also that time in the
Black Dragon World when, in order to avoid the Heavenly Punishment, Song Shuhang asked Senior White’s clone to behead him and
cut him into small pieces. Also, there was the Heavenly Tribulation
Realm incident, when he chose to accept Sage Monarch Melon Eater’s request and was pulled into the Ninth Stage Heavenly Tribulation Realm. Sage Monarch Melon Eater had only protected Li Yinzhu and left Song Shuhang to fend for himself, resulting in him being blasted apart.
And many more. These painful experiences were what made Song Shuhang who he was today! “Not bad.” Senior White recorded everything in his notebook. “If we add some of my own
ideas, we’ve almost got enough. Let’s work together and try to prepare the area before the next wave of practitioners arrive!”
