Chapter 256: The Poison Pool Trial

The Poison Pool Trial has officially begun. The teachers brought the candidates into the venue, and in order to prevent them from struggling with the pain after the trial began, they fixed their hands and feet to the ground with special chains.

Wu Xuanyuan's hands were also fixed in the cold handcuffs, his heart was full of doubts and uneasiness, looking up and seeing that the peach was not far from him, her hands and feet were also fixed, she trembled a little, her bangs fell in front of her eyes, and she looked depressed.

"Momoko ......"

Wu Xuanyuan called out to her, but she didn't answer.

The dean walked up to the podium in the middle and said in a loud voice:

"In a few days, the Chosen One will be born among you, and this is the only way for you to surpass your former self and transform into a strong one!

With that, the venom began to pour into the pool.

Wu Xuanyuan has experienced countless poison pool baptisms since he was a child, so this time, he only thinks it is an ordinary graduation test. Unexpectedly, as soon as the venom flooded his knees, he felt extraordinary pain, beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, and his body was hot and cold, and he slowly weakened.

"This, what kind of poison is this, so strong......"

He saw that the people around him were already in unbearable pain under the strong corrosion of the venom, staggering, and some even screamed. For those with weaker mana, their bodies quickly slowly festered, and the scene in the poison pool was like purgatory.

Soon, the venom had spread to the neck, and by this time there were already dead people, and their spirits and mana were flowing to the other survivors, being absorbed by them.

Wu Xuanyuan's side also began to gather wisps of mana, and his physical strength was replenished as a result, and his resistance to toxins gradually increased. This is the process of quenching the body of the poison pool.

However, Peach's physical condition continued to deteriorate, she almost fell into a coma, and the crystal ball beside her also sank, floating gloomily on the surface of the venom, no matter what Wu Xuanyuan called her, she couldn't hear it.

"Peach!"

He suddenly found that from Peach, there was already a faint amount of mana being lost, and his heart was even more anxious.

"It's useless, she can't hear you when you shout. ”

The weak voice of the squad leader came. Wu Xuanyuan turned his face and saw that his classmates were all around him, their hands and feet were fixed, like hanged ghosts, all of them had a faint breath.

"What will happen to Momoko...... She, will she die?......" Wu Xuanyuan thought of this, his expression sad.

"Dead ?...... Of course, those who can't survive the test of the poison pool will die! Of these 100 people, only one person will survive in the end. ”

"What?......" Wu Xuanyuan's eyes widened in horror, "Why didn't anyone tell me?" these classmates ...... Do they all have to die?"

"Fool! I don't need to tell this, this is the tradition of our Wu clan, and everyone in the village knows it. Do you remember that oath? We weak will voluntarily sacrifice our lives to the strong, this is fate, this is natural selection, we are all voluntary, and so is she...... Our Wu clan has no weakling!"

Wu Xuanyuan was stunned, his heart almost collapsed, he couldn't bear these friends who had finally met, all of them had to die in front of him, and he was even more unwilling to accept Peaches' death.

"Peach!" he shouted.

Peach finally opened her eyes slowly, looking at Wu Xuanyuan with a sloppy gaze, tears streaming down her dry cheeks.

Wu Xuanyuan pulled the chains behind him, constantly struggling, like a fierce beast, shouting to the audience:

"Stop! Peaches is dying, release the venom, no one can stop this?!"

The people in the audience looked at him coldly, as if this was a normal thing. No one stood up to stop it, and no one felt guilty about it.

Some people even secretly rejoiced that the "chosen one" was about to be born. That person will become a powerful magician, become the hope of the Wu clan, and he will lead and strengthen the Wu clan, so that the fate of the Wu clan will change forever.

Wu Xuanyuan looked at people's indifferent eyes, and his heart was deeply pierced. He hates these people on the stage who have nothing to do with him, and he hates this ruthless world even more.

"Stop arguing!"

The squad leader impatiently stopped Wu Xuanyuan, "You hillbilly who doesn't understand anything, this is the fate of our Wu clan, and we people have already accepted this fate as early as the moment we chose to become magicians!"

But Peaches was crying, and she didn't want to die. ”

"You are the one who caused Peaches to cry! You are the one who makes her heart waver, and you are the one who makes her degenerate into a weakling!"

The squad leader's words made Wu Xuanyuan stunned again.

He stopped talking and bowed his head silently, but his heart was full of unwillingness.

Poison pool trials often lasted for several days, sometimes even a month, and as time passed, Wu Xuanyuan gradually lost the strength to struggle in the poison pool, and survived an incomparably long number of days between coma and sobriety.

It wasn't until the tenth day that the chains tied to them gradually melted due to the corrosion of the venom, and Wu Xuanyuan's hands and feet suddenly slipped down, and fell into the poison pool with a "poof", and then came back to him clearly.

He saw that the people around him fell into the poison pool one by one, and their figures disappeared, and they never came up again.

Even the squad leader with strong mana was dying at this time, and he had reached his limit, he glanced at Wu Xuanyuan unwillingly, and slipped into the poison pool unsupportably:

"Unexpectedly, it was you who persevered to the end......"

Wu Xuanyuan broke free of the chains, slid his hands forward and walked hard in the poison pool, he came to Wu Phantom Peach, hugged her who was sliding into the poison pool, her body was as pale and light as a piece of paper.

Only the two of them were left in the poison pool, and the others were all dead. Peach lay in Wu Xuanyuan's arms, and his face showed joy when he saw that he was still alive.

"Leave me alone, you live on your own......" she said.

"No, Momoko, we're going to live together. ”

The mana on Peach's body was slowly flowing towards Wu Xuanyuan, she shook her head and said:

"Don't be stupid, we're born to be alone. ”

Wu Xuanyuan's heart was sour, and tears flowed.

In this way, he held her in his arms for dozens of days

The mana from all over the poison pool was converging towards Wu Xuanyuan, and in the soak of the venom, his consciousness gradually became blurred, unable to distinguish between day and night, and his lips turned dark purple. But he never let go of the magic peach in his hand, even if his arm was numb and unconscious, he didn't want her to sink to the bottom of the pool.

On the last day of the trial, the village chief and the dean returned to the audience, and the whole village rushed to the trial ground, looking forward to the birth of the "Chosen One".

The last trace of peach's mana also flowed to Wu Xuanyuan, and his body slid heavily towards the poison pool. Wu Xuanyuan suddenly woke up and reached out to grab her body.

"Peach, don't die!"

She reluctantly opened her eyes and looked at Wu Xuanyuan, with a smile on the corner of her mouth:.

"I finally know why I saw you in the crystal ball. Because, meeting you is the most important thing in my life. I'm going to die, but I'm going to be a part of you forever, and I'm content......"

After speaking, she gently pushed Wu Xuanyuan away, and her body slowly sank to the bottom of the pool.
