The Trial (Part One)

The inside of the Weapon Section of the Forbidden Grounds was ringing with the painful cries coming from the girl who was kneeling in the very middle of the high platform.

Her torn clothes, disheveled and sweaty hair, the cuts all over her bare arms, feet, and hands were covered in blood.

The most shocking scene was the blood that was coming out from the palm of her right hand.

In all the blood that was dripping on the floor from that deep gash of her palm, tiny blue sparkling particles could be seen in that blood.

When she first closed her fingers around that blue sparkling ball of light, she had felt it penetrating her skin as it traveled up her arms and towards her shoulders.

It barely took a few seconds before that energy met with her heart and that was the exact moment when Li Ming let out that terrifying scream as her heart suddenly erupted in pain.  

It was the worst kind of pain that she had ever suffered through in both of her lives.
