Reason behind the excited smiles

Who will not have fear when it comes to their soul. So, of course, Dark flame cursed at his bad luck.

"Ready?"

Elder Elek nodded his head as he asked the short Dark flame whether he was ready or not.

'Stay still'

Before Dark flame could even reply to him, he placed his hand on Dark flame's head.

All the young cultivators were looking at Dark flame to notice any changes in him.

'Aargh'

However, it didn't take much longer for Dark flame to groan in pain.

'5 seconds, next'

Elder Elek stopped the moment Dark flame groaned in pain and announced the result of the trial before asking for the next participant.

'Ah..ah'

Dark flame was completely covered in sweat; however, he was still able to walk back to his place while gasping for air.

There was something that puzzled all the young cultivators when they looked at Dark flame and that was an exciting smile was plastered on Dark flame's face.
