The first crack of the Small World began to spread slowly. At first, it was just a thin line, but as time passed, the crack widened, split, and gradually revealed its true power. Slowly, it fully opened, and a massive, glowing gate took shape. The gate looked like an ancient structure, with faint blue lights dancing along its edges, as if mystical energy had brought it to life.
( please comment for support sorry for disturbing)
Standing before the gate were two hundred disciples of varying cultivation levels, anxious, yet the excitement and hope on their faces seemed more powerful than any fear. The elders bowed in respect to them and encouraged each disciple to enter the Small World, wishing each "Best of luck." One by one, all disciples stepped inside.
As the last disciple took a step forward, the gate of the Small World disappeared automatically. Inside, a new and unknown environment unfolded before them. Upon entering, every disciple's eyes lit up. The air carried a faint fragrance of floating spiritual Qi, and ultra-high-quality power could be felt in the atmosphere. It was the first time anyone had stepped into this place.
As they entered, their first Trial began. This Trial was set like a virtual world, designed for them to cultivate further through combat. It was structured like a game lobby—first placing everyone in a preparation area before beginning the challenge.
The disciples were divided into teams. Each team had only four disciples, and a total of fifty teams were formed. The distribution was entirely random. Teams were not organized by high or low cultivation levels, ensuring no unfair advantage.
The main character's team appeared. It included himself, two male disciples, and two female disciples. Determination was clearly visible on their faces. The other teams were similarly prepared in groups of four. No team knew the strength of their own members. This randomness was the biggest twist of the Trial.
Before starting, all disciples were explained the rules. They had to secure the resources in the Small World, increase their cultivation, and compete with other teams. Losing teams would be eliminated from the Trial.
The countdown began: "Three… Two… One…" All teams were teleported into the virtual breach world. The main character's team looked at each other, showing a mixture of nervousness and excitement.
Upon arriving in the lobby, they looked around. The place was surreal, filled with floating islands, energy streams, and massive mystical structures. Every disciple knew that any resources they obtained could advance their cultivation to the next level.
Teams maintained distance from each other, each attempting to secure the best resources for themselves. Occasionally, teams would engage, while at other times, they observed each other's strategies. The main character immediately set up communication with his team. They decided to first secure low-level resources before moving toward high-tier ones.
The disciples realized that this Trial was not only about strength or speed. It was also a test of strategy, teamwork, and observation. Some teams quickly adopted aggressive approaches, while others chose stealth strategies. The main character's team followed a middle-ground strategy—partly defensive, partly aggressive.
Certain resources in the Trial could only be manipulated by those with high-level Qi, making team balance even more critical. Some teams rushed immediately to high-risk zones, while the main character's team moved with a calculated approach.
At the halfway mark, conflicts began. One team targeted another team's resources, resulting in minor clashes. The Trial environment responded dynamically—blocking energy flows or creating new obstacles. Every disciple's skill, timing, and decision-making were being tested.
The main character used his sword cultivation technique to secure resources. With epiphany points, he enhanced the capability of his sword, giving his team an advantage. His companions coordinated efficiently—male disciples handled defensive maneuvers, while female disciples scouted and collected resources efficiently.
As time passed, the zone in the virtual world began to shrink gradually. Every disciple, every team, kept their eyes on the map, each trying to move themselves into a safe zone. The main character and his team were also slowly advancing toward the safe zone. Their steps were balanced and calculated—avoiding any unnecessary fights had now become their priority.
The scattered resources around caught their eyes—spiritual horses, glowing spiritual stones, and rare vests. Everything seemed usable and beneficial. But the team understood that greed for these resources could be dangerous. If they engaged a spiritual beast, another team could ambush them from behind. Therefore, they remained vigilant and collected only the resources that directly benefited them.
The main character maintained situational awareness of his surroundings. He was tracking not only his team but also the positions of other teams. At any moment, a competitor could try to surround them. Following this strategy, they began collecting spiritual horses and spiritual water gradually.
The team included two male and two female disciples. The female disciples started gathering spiritual grass, which could soon be used to create cultivation pills and increase their strength. The main character noticed that despite the abundance of resources, he was busy collecting grass alone. After a while, he realized that some teams controlled a large number of valuable resources.
After some thought, the main character decided to move forward solo, leaving his team behind. Like in PUBG or Free Fire, he switched to stealth mode. He moved toward the teams that controlled the resources. He knew direct confrontation carried high risk, but a strategic move could give him an advantage.
As he advanced, he noticed three teams gathered near a rare fruit tree. The tree was extremely rare and powerful—its quality and potency were exceptionally high. The main character observed their behavior from a distance.
At that moment, his eyes fell on his old rival, Lin Hao. Lin Hao had arrived with his three female teammates. His team's discipline and coordination were unmatched. Lin Hao immediately warned the other teams—anyone attempting to take the fruit would be eliminated.
The four teams then formed a strategy—everyone remained in waiting positions. They set up camps around the firefall, patiently waiting for the fruit to ripen. From morning until noon, they remained vigilant.
Suddenly, a disciple from another team challenged Lin Hao, roaring with cultivation strength and level. Lin Hao responded, and the situation grew tense. The main character observed everything from afar, waiting for the perfect timing to seize the rare fruit and execute his strategy.
Meanwhile, a powerful aura suddenly radiated around the fruit tree. The aura was so strong that everyone immediately felt its presence.
