448 Fein’s Powerful Will
“So what I should do now??” Fein asked in a loud voice in the air.
He knew that Zero could hear him. It’s even possible that Zero was just standing beside him right now.
“You just have to walk normally up to the last mark or sixteenth mark. You can try it for yourself. Some of my S-rank friends in the past, a select few that managed to pass the first and second, only reached the fourth mark. Now, they are powerhouses within their respective regions. One of them was even in the top twenty of the official list.”
‘Really?’ Fein couldn’t help but glance at the entire field and the red marks. But he couldn’t feel anything special at all. ‘Well, I won’t know unless I try, right?’
Just like that, Fein took his first step, followed by the second step, until he reached the first red mark.
Fein had a look of doubt on his face. ‘Ehhh?? Nothing happened?’
As his train of thought was about to continue, a heavy pressure suddenly came out of thin air that bore into him! He felt like he was a normal person buried in a pile of rubble.
Fein realized that the test wasn’t that simple this day. The pressure doesn’t really act on his physical body but on his soul! Will originates from the soul...
‘But this isn’t enough to slow me down.’
.....
So, Fein continued his pace and walked step by step towards the second red mark. Although he felt great pressure, his face didn’t show anything. He just walks normally.
With that, after three seconds, Fein stopped at the second mark. A burning feeling pricked his soul. He felt that he had jumped into the hole of a volcano. His senses were overwhelmed with pain.
Small blisters appeared on Fein’s skin and started to crack. Fein felt like he was getting stabbed with needles continuously in every part of his body. If it was another person, they would have already collapsed on the ground, coupled with the heavy pressure from the first mark.
Yet Fein was still emotionless and just looked coldly at the third mark. What pain he didn’t experience in his training? As a person that was ruthless to himself, this wasn’t enough to even make his eyebrows twitch.
“Not bad...” Zero, who was watching behind the scene, had a look of respect on his face.
He could still remember that on his first try, he almost gave up on the second mark, but with perseverance, he managed to reach the third, but unfortunately stopped on the fourth.
Zero and one of his friends had the highest record... But still, Zero can’t say that he could go forward like Fein, who doesn’t even show anything on his face. No signs of exhaustion or even sweat. As if it was all effortless. Zero couldn’t help but wonder just what Fein’s will was made of!
After Fein stepped on the third mark, an overwhelming amount of information flooded his brain. If it was others, they would have already directly fainted or even become crazy. After all, all the information was useless, but the amount was like a sea. In modern world words, like sixteen terabytes! It acted like a virus in the brain.
But who was Fein? Fein, with his S-rank talent with everything, proved himself with an S-rank information processing capability! His brain was comparable to a supercomputer... So this amount of information wasn’t enough to overwhelm his willpower.
But this time, Fein finally felt a bit of pressure from the combined effect of the first, second, and third mark. The feeling of great pressure, the flame burning his soul, and the huge amount of information that he was feeling simultaneously would be like hell to others!
Seeing the drop of sweat on Fein’s forehead, Zero finally breathes a sigh of relief. Or he would suspect that the test has some defect... But how was that even possible?
‘He could process such a large amount of useless information? What’s his brain even made of!?’ Zero inhaled a bout of cold air.
After a few minutes, Fein finally reached the fifth mark and successfully surpassed the highest record. The fourth mark this time increased the weight or the pressure in his soul. It’s triple the pressure that the first mark gave!
If in the first mark, he felt that he was buried in the pile of rubble... The fourth mark, was like literally carrying a car on his back! The fifth mark, on the other hand, was a different experience, a qualitative change. The oxygen in the surrounding environment greatly decreased, which made it more taxing to perform a movement. After all, oxygen is essential for muscle movements.
‘Damn it, it’s starting to slow me down. How far can I reach?’ Fein’s breathing became more laborious as he took a step forward slowly.
Zero, at this time, had a solemn expression on his face. Now, the previous record was broken. As long as Fein moved past the eight steps, it means that he could fight Niki! After all, that’s already the limit of the S rank degu user could take. As for the ninth step, Zero doesn’t expect anyone to step on it.
After all, he made the ninth step and above as a joke. No one would be able to successfully get passed it even if a million years passed. Because eight steps are actually the limit. The ninth step and above weren’t meant to belong in the ‘Test of will’
Just like that, Fein had successfully set his foot on the sixth mark... This time, Fein’s eyebrow twitched, and he gritted his teeth. He felt the entire weight of a mountain bore on his physical body time! Now, he was carrying weight at the physical level and soul level! If not for his S-rank physique, he would have already kneeled on the ground at the two-pronged approach. Not to mention the persistent effects of the previous marks were still in effect and they stacked with each other perfectly.
Fein rubbed his temples and began to feel dizzy. ‘Is this my limit??’
He couldn’t even think properly anymore because of the huge influx of miscellaneous information in his brain.
He didn’t know Zero wasn’t as calm anymore this time. He looked at Fein like he was looking at a monster. This is just iron will!
