(Hello everyone! Am sorry but this is the only chapter for today. Please forgive this foolish author.)
As the system finished listing the abilities, John's excitement and anticipation surged like a pent-up storm. He felt an insatiable hunger to test his new powers and push his limits, to unravel the mysteries hidden within him. But before he could explore his abilities further, the system's voice echoed again, its tone chilling and detached, like a harbinger of doom. [Ding! The Celestial Teacher's trial will commence shortly. Prepare yourself, Celestial Teacher.]
The words hung in the air like a specter, casting a shadow over John's enthusiasm, and he felt a shiver run down his spine. As the system's voice faded, John's mind reeled with anticipation, his thoughts racing with the possibilities. He felt an inexorable pull, as if being drawn into a realm beyond the veil of reality, where the very fabric of existence seemed to bend and warp. The Mysterious Realm, a place shrouded in enigma and ancient power, awaited him – the trial's ground, where his resolve would be tested and his destiny forged.
As John stepped into the heart of the realm, a spectral voice whispered, its ethereal tone sending shivers down his spine. "The trial of a Celestial Teacher begins. Prove your worth, and claim your rightful place among the celestial ranks.
" The air thickened with anticipation, heavy with the weight of expectation, and the realm's energy pulsed with an otherworldly power that seemed to resonate deep within John's very being. He felt the weight of his journey bearing down upon him, the trial's challenges and mysteries unfolding before him like an uncharted path, fraught with unknown dangers and hidden opportunities.
The spectral voice continued, its words dripping with an air of ancient wisdom, "You will face three trials, each designed to test your mastery of Chi and Spiritual energies, your adaptability, and your wisdom. Success will grant you unimaginable power and insight, but failure..." The voice trailed off, leaving John to ponder the consequences of failure, the silence that followed oppressive, punctuated only by the soft hum of the realm's energy.
John took a deep breath, steeling himself for the challenges ahead, his heart pounding with anticipation. He knew that his fate hung in the balance, and the path of becoming a Celestial Teacher was not for the faint of heart. The spectral voice's final words echoed in his mind: "Are you prepared to face the trials that lie ahead?"
With a resolute nod, John stepped forward, and the realm shifted around him, the air vibrating with energy, and the whispers of ancient wisdom seemed to emanate from the very walls. "Your journey begins now," the voice declared, and John felt the trial's power coursing through him, like a river of fire that would either consume him or set him free.
It was at this moment John heard the system's voice.
John's eyes widened in surprise as the system's voice echoed in his mind, shattering the silence of the Mysterious Realm. He had attempted to communicate with the system when he first arrived, but it had remained stubbornly silent. The sudden reactivation caught him off guard, and a mix of emotions swirled within him – surprise, curiosity, and a hint of frustration.
A bitter smile crept onto his lips as he focused on the system's message. The cold, detached tone was unmistakable, and John felt a spark of annoyance at being ignored earlier. Nevertheless, he pushed aside his feelings and concentrated on the trial's objective.
[Ding! The initial stage of the Celestial Teacher's first trial, 'Harmonization,' will begin shortly.]
The system's message unfolded like a scroll in his mind, detailing the trial's objective and instructions.
[Objective: Attune your Chi to the natural resonance of the stream.]
[Instructions:
- Approach the stream and place your hands in the water.
- Focus on the rhythm and flow of the stream.
- Synchronize your Chi with the natural harmony.]
[Current Status: Trial Started. Please proceed with the trial. Your progress will be evaluated based on your ability to harmonize your Chi with the stream's resonance. Good luck, host.]
As the system's message concluded, the spectral voice echoed in John's mind, its ethereal tone sending a shiver down his spine. "The initial stage, 'Resonance with the Stream,' of the Harmonization trial begins. Harmonize your Chi with the natural resonance of the stream."
With a deep breath, John stepped forward, his eyes fixed on the stream flowing gently before him. The trial had begun, and he was ready to face the challenge.
("Author's Note:
For those curious about the trials, let me clarify: the Celestial Teacher's trial consists of three distinct trials - Harmonization, Adaptation, and Wisdom. The Harmonization trial, which John is about to embark on, has three stages. The first stage, Resonance with the Stream, focuses on perfecting John's control over Chi energy.
As a Celestial Teacher, John can wield both Chi and Spiritual energies. This trial will test his mastery over these energies. The upcoming stages of Harmonization will challenge John in ways he hasn't anticipated yet... hehehe. Patience, dear readers, patience!)
