The Trial Continues

As the break in pain allowed for Hui Yue to catch his breath, Hui Yue was unsure if it helped to have this short time to breathe or not.

Although it was possible to take a breath and not be immersed in the pain, it also made it more difficult to face the pain that he knew was coming. If he had gone from this pain of suffocation to another pain it would be much easier to become numb to it, but this was obviously not allowed to happen; this small break in pain only served to make this trial all the more difficult to endure.

Hui Yue did not have any more time to think as his body tensed up, and he felt a knife cutting through his chest carving out his heart. Although the pain was indescribable, Hui Yue did not utter a sound. He was in the same seated position since he had sat down, but if one looked at his clenched hand, it was obvious that despite his calm appearance, he was in fact in severe pain.
