Trials?

As his vision returns to normal, Jiao Heng finds himself sitting on a chair facing a table with a bunch of notes in it.

"This is my room…" He looked at the notes in front of him and sighed.

The deadline for his projects is a week away but he's already doing it.

Stretching his hands, Jiao Heng started finishing his project.

He doesn't like doing this so he tried to do his best to do it as fast as possible.

After a few hours, someone suddenly knocked on his door and a female voice sounded.

"****, dinner's ready." Hearing his name, Jiao Heng stopped what he was doing and went to the door to open it.

"Mom." Looking at the familiar face, Jiao Heng let out a smile. His face isn't that of a handsome man nor does he have long white hair.

He only has this average looking face that may look pleasant on some.

"Studying hard again? You should eat first." The woman smiled before going downstairs, followed by him.

The meal wasn't sumptuous but it was enough for the both of them. After all, it's only the two of them who's a family.

He doesn't have siblings and his father fucked off to who knows where, leaving him with his mother alone.

"How's school?" His mom asked as they started eating.

"Nothing much, still at the top of the grade and it'll probably be like that til the end of the school year." Jiao Heng didn't raise his head and replied.

"That's good. My son really is an overachiever." She sighed but he could tell that she's very happy.

Although she hears it all the time, having a son like him makes her very proud.

That scumbag of a father may have left them but her son is a blessing that she will never give to anyone else.

Unlike his mother who was very happy, Jiao Heng doesn't have any expression on his face, he wasn't happy nor sad. Just like his mother, he's already used to this.

"By the way, your friends called me and said that they'll be hanging out and asked if you're free."

Jiao Heng stopped eating and asked without raising his head again, "What did you tell them?"

His mother smiled and replied, "I said that you're busy. You don't mind that do you?"

He raised his head and looked at his mother's eyes before smiling, "It's okay."

"I'll just tell them myself that I'm free now." After he said that, the entire atmosphere became silent.

The gentle expression from his mother's face disappeared and was replaced by a ferocious look.

"Do you know how much it could affect your future?"

"It's fine. I can cram it." As if oblivious of his mother's tone, Jiao Heng replied causally.

"I don't allow it. You should focus on your studies first." His mother stood up and declared.

Jiao Heng also stood up and grabbed her plate, "I'm going to wash the dishes mom. You should rest first."

As he turned around, he felt his mother approach him but he didn't turn his head to ask and continued his way to the sink.

Before he took the next step, a sharp kitchen knife was pierced in his heart from the back and blood started leaking from his mouth.

Despite this, he still walked towards the sink and started washing the dishes, uncaring about the knife sticking out in his back.

"Rest now mom." He didn't turn his head.

"And thank you. I love you very much."

After saying that, the entire world suddenly vanished and a large roar resounded.

The plate in Jiao Heng's hands was gone and his previous appearance had returned.

Gazing at the sky, he saw a large azure eastern dragon that looked like it could devour stars themselves, looking at him with piercing azure eyes.

Another roar sounded and the dragon rushed towards him, intending to destroy his spirit.

Seeing this, Jiao Heng narrowed his eyes before a large ethereal river with clear water appeared on top of him, glowing with various words before pushing it to intercept the large dragon.

*BOOM!* *BOOM!*

The collision of white and blue created a violent explosion, the azure dragon retreated and looked at the man in white in daze.

"The river of time?!"

"Not quite," Jiao Heng shook his head and gestured for the floating river to his back, "do you still want to go, Long Yin?"

It might be disrespectful to address someone like the Dragon God by their real name considering he is arrogant and mighty status but Jiao Heng himself is angry at the illusion he made.

Long Yin didn't answer but attacked again, the full power of the sovereign of the divine beasts came to him.

Jiao Heng wasn't fazed and waved the large river in front of him, blocking all of the Dragon God's attacks effortlessly.

"Unbelievable, even in the Spiritual Sea, you can still exert this much power." Long Yin may only be a wisp of the original Dragon God but he's still the Dragon God!

With the tyrannical body that can contend even against Creation Gods, there's a reason why the Primordial Azure Dragon stands at the pinnacle of True Gods, a mere human should stand no chance against him.

Especially now in the Spiritual Sea where their cultivations are equal, add to the fact that this young man should be more vulnerable with the suppression of the Dragon God's aura on him.

The Creation God of Order really found a jade… no, there's no comparison at all.

"Good. Really good!" The Dragon God laughed. Not even offended that a junior called him by his name without any respect.

"Then I hope you last a little bit longer. Dragon Soul Domain!" Suddenly, an oppressive aura engulfed Jiao Heng, making him wince and blood leaked from his eyes and nose.

Dragon Soul Domain is an incomparably overbearing mental Domain. It affects the person by sending them into a nightmare like state

Yun Che in the original has used this to stun a Divine Master like Mu Xuanyin despite not even being on Divine Soul Realm!

Now that the Dragon God himself used it, it's already surprising that Jiao Heng wasn't knocked out cold and had all his orifices bleeding.

"Still conscious? Very good." Long Yin nodded in appreciation.

Resisting the Dragon Soul Domain is not something that only being the inheritor of a Creation God can do.

To resist it, one must have a supreme will power.

The Dragon God didn't waste any time and rushed forward with its huge body. Now that this young man is struggling to look up, it's now a chance to take him down.

He wasn't really planning on killing him or anything but after this, he might need to lay for a year.

Jiao Heng can feel the Dragon God approaching but he still struggles to look up. The Dragon Soul Domain had really hurt his brain!

'Time to test this then.' After muttering inwardly, nine words appeared again on the top of his head before merging on his forehead.

The Dragon God saw this but didn't stop and when he was a few centimeters from hitting him, he suddenly hit a large invisible barrier, making his nose bleed from the impact.

*BANG!*

"WHAT?!" Long Yin exclaimed in confusion.

"A barrier? But you shouldn't even be focused enough to create a barrier that strong unless…" He muttered and then he saw the translucent white barrier covering him.

"I see. By using the power of time and making everything around you stop. You created an invincible barrier capable of stopping anything." Dragon God said with a sigh.

"And from the looks of it. The damage in your Spiritual Sea has been healed too." Looking at Jiao Heng's face, Long Yin sighed again. Aside from blood marks under his nose and eyes, he can see that this young man has no problem now.

Dragon Soul Domain attacks the spiritual sea, especially their battlefield, Jiao Heng should have been more vulnerable to such attacks.

But he managed to recover in just a few moments.

One must know that an injury in the physical body is far different than injury in the spiritual sea.

An injury from the body can be healed but from the consciousness? It will take decades if not hundreds of years!

Even if Long Yin didn't attack with ill intentions, the injury would have leave in a coma for a year.

Such talent… where did the Creation God of Order found this man?

Jiao Heng didn't reply and the entire world turned to a translucent water.

Long Yin didn't have time to react before he was submerged by the endless river.
