An Accident

Ash and Delano Entered the Central Tower together and when they entered there were already thousands of boys and girls under the age of 18.

After finding a good spacious spot deep in the tower Ash started to practice Lesser Fire Art because it is the key to pass this trial.

Every trialist can only use Lesser Profound Art and Weapon that was provided in this trial.

Ash started practicing Lesser Fire Art and Delano Started Practicing Lesser Wind Art.

The First Stage of Fire Lesser Art is simple. He has to cultivate Fire Elemental Motes in his middle Dantian/Energy Sea.

Pure Spirit Cultivation in Lower Energy Sea, Elemental Cultivation in Energy Sea, And Upper Energy Sea is very mysterious which can only be accessed by Warlords. This was the information he got from Delano.

The First Stage of the Trial will start after 2 days so meanwhile, everyone has to practice their Respective Lesser Arts to the First stage. The catch here is they can only practice it to the first stage and can't progress further. There seems to be some kind of restriction that prevents them to start the 2nd stage of cultivation in their Lesser art, They can't gather Spirit Energy after they finish cultivating to the first stage no matter what they do.

Ash started cultivating according to Lesser Fire Art and he could cultivate Fire Elemental motes way faster because of two reasons: First, his affinity of Fire was Grade A and the second reason is because of this Lesser Fire Art.

' Even if this Profound Art is not complete and is only a lesser version, It is still way more valuable than any basic profound art in the academy. '

Because of his high affinity with the fire element, Ash finished cultivating to the first stage in one day.

Delano also finished cultivating to the first stage in one day.

They talked the whole day and Ash got to know more things about Vemostrek Star Sector.

" The first trial will commence in 30 minutes ".

" Do you know what is the first trial about ?" Ash asked Delano.

" Nope! Nobody knows All we know is that we just need to reach the First stage in the profound art we selected to participate in the first trial. Those who did not cultivate to the first stage will be disqualified and sent back to where they came from, But I doubt anyone failed to cultivate to the first stage so the real trial is one which starts in 30 min." Said Delano.

Soon 30 min passed and the trial started.

" To pass the first trial everyone has to kill one Grade 1 spirit beast ".

Ash was startled because he and Delano did not encounter any spirit beasts during their short journey to the central tower.

And it will be tough to kill Grade 1 spirit beast because everyone who can come in this trial space has yet to awaken their spirit and can only use a weapon and profound art provided by the trial space.

Ash suddenly blanked out and when he opened his eyes he was in a different place.

' what the hell happened '

"Rawr~".

Ash was startled and hurriedly turned to the direction of the sound.

' f**k '

The beast looked like a dog but with the size of a bull and a single horn on its forhead.

Ash hurriedly injected Fire elemental motes and Spiritual Motes from his lower and middle energy seas into hands' meridians, Because he doesn't have any Profound Energy Skills he can only crudely use Fire element motes and spirit energy to increase his melee power.

As the Beast came charging straight towards his direction, He was ready to receive the impact because carelessly dodging might generate unfavorable situations and he already unlocked his internal energy so his physical strength was also not bad. So he was a bit confident in his strength.

*bang*

Ash was sent flying by the beast, The impact caused cracks in his bones even with gauntlets on his hands. He was naive.

His tolerance of pain seems to have shot up by a long notch since he was in so much more pain after eating that pill and getting the injection in the laboratory. But Bone cracking is also painful in a different way, his hands are useless for now, and even with internal energy, it will take a few hours to heal.

The beast was coming to his side again and just as he was ready to get up he blanked out again and when he opened his eyes he was in the tower. There was no pain in his hands, It seemed like time went backward but obviously, that was not the case.

" You have failed the first trial thus you will be sent out of trial space after 1 hour. "

*Sigh*

Ash sat down to rest tho he was not tired physically but mentally. He failed miserably, He thought Grade 1 spirit beasts wouldn't be so powerful but he was naive and overconfident.

Well, it was not his fault since he had never fought before but it still feels bad.

Ash started thinking about how the previous batch died when entering this portal because he did not encounter any threat after entering.

' Could it be that they were killed by aliens ? or humans from Vemostrek Star Sector? '

Just as he was thinking about other possibilities there was a loud bang sound.

' Attention Attention, The Trial Space is being forcibly breached by something very powerful, Unable to identify, Evacuation Function is not working, Trials System is damaged and is not working properly '

' Attention Attention, Everyone should evacuate from the tower, The powerful thing's goal is the energy source of this trial space, Please evacuate fast, Returning the confiscated items to their owners '

*bang*

There was another bang.

As Ash saw that his Digi-x and other gadgets materialize in front of him, He hurriedly picked them up.

The trialists who were still undergoing trials woke up one by one and disappeared.

' hmm...how did they disappeared? '

Just as Ash was thinking about how did they disappear, Delano woke up.

" Ash hurry and evacuate from the tower, you have to use the trans-portal device connected to your portal to escape, I only got one so I can't take you with me, You should hurry up and evacuate from this tower. " Delano Said hurriedly as he took out his trans-portal device.

" Hurry up and start running, If fate permits we shall meet again. " Said Delano as he disappeared.

As everyone started disappearing one by one, in one minute only 30-35 people were left in the tower and they were also rushing towards the exit.

They looked like kids mentioned by Martin but it's no use calling them now in this situation.

Ash also started running towards the exit but since he went deep into the tower with Delano he was far from the exit.

Those 30 something kids only recently came so they were still near the exit and they escaped easily.

*bang*

As Ash was halfway to the exit another bang sounded and the tower was tilted towards the exit, The Tower was falling towards the direction of the exit.

" FUCK.." Ash cursed out loud but it was of no use.

The tower was already falling and even if he reached the exit now he would die, Those 30 something kids will also die soon.

" Why did something like this happen? Fuck whatever it is that barged in and destroy my only chance. "

Ash was quite excited since coming here broadened his horizon and he also got a weapon + top-class foundation building profound art. Although profound art was common in the Vemostreak star sector it is still way more profound than what is founded on earth.

Just as he was thinking all kinds of things he saw a bright light that was coming from the now tilted tower.

The light was rapidly making way towards him and he really wanted to dodge that light because it seemed really dangerous.

If his guess is right then this was the thing that crashed into this trial space to steal its energy source.

Just as he started running to dodge the bright light, He felt tremendous pain in his head and he heard another bang and saw that tower was rapidly falling and if he did not get out from this sh*t hole he will die for sure.

But before he could move another step he fainted. And he seems to have heard something like ' The system ' before he passed out.

After what seemed like an eternity Ash woke up groggily, He was having headaches and his whole body was in pain.

As he looked around he was startled because when he passed out he was inside the tower but now he is above the tilted tower.

<The system has repaired the body of the host to a certain degree. And it will take 1 more hour to fully heal the body.>

Ash was startled to hear the voice inside his brain.

" What system ? who are you? "

Just then he saw a status screen appear in front of him.

Ash's mouth was wide open seeing the interface. There were also options like Shop, Lucky Spin, Quest, etc.

He tried to open Shop and Lucky Spin but did not succeed. But when he focused on Quest it easily opened.

<Main Quest>

[~Find the Energy Source of this Trial Space~]

[~Rewards: A Meeting Gift from The Great Support System, 1 Lucky Spin~]

<Minor Quest>

[~Return to Earth~]

[~Rewards: 1000 EXP, Spirit Awakening Pill~]

' The rewards are good but the quests seem hard, I don't even know how to return to earth ' Ash thought.

' Why I am not triggering the awakening of my spirit? ' Ash thought.

<System has forcefully stopped the awakening of the host's spirit because it will be more beneficial if the host awaken his spirit by eating Spirit Awakening Pill>

' i see...'

<System advice host to find the Energy Source of this Trial Space so that system can teleport host to Earth>
