Immortal Will

As Liu Yang killed and killed the challenge's creatures, his mind got used to seeing the entrails and fallen bodies along with rivers of blood running down all sides.

The killer's instinct grew stronger along with his bloodlust.

To prevent his mind from being corrupted by so much killing, Liu Yang always remembered his father's words, kill only when necessary and avoid unnecessary killing.

His father didn't want Liu Yang to become some bloodthirsty killer who kills for pleasure or who kills beyond limits.

Unfortunately, for a young man to do this was very difficult.

The number of people he had to kill was a million, even though most were killed by the Mushroom, Liu Yang's mind and aura were becoming more and more dense and murderous.

Even though he didn't want to, Liu Yang knew that if he could survive the challenge, wherever he went, his murderous aura would cause fear. So he could only learn to control that aura.

The challenge to achieve Dual Class was not a challenge of power, but resilience and will.

It didn't matter how powerful the person was, if he couldn't stand the hard times, he would be considered weak.

After several days in a row killing all sorts of people of different races and classes, Liu Yang was getting mentally exhausted and physically tired, but the powerful healing and status-boosting potions kept him from falling to the ground and always gave him more energy to stay. Stand up and keep fighting.

His will was not as strong as steel and unshakable, but his desire to become an adventurer strong enough to travel the world kept him in his will to fight. His mind was always blanking out, but he was woken up quickly without having time to think about other things than defeating the creatures in front of him.

Whenever one wave ended, Liu Yang accepted the second wave to appear. He thought that if he stopped to close his eyes and rest, his body would never wake up.

So, he was just slashing and defending himself with his armor and sword almost broken.

The Mushroom always did the same thing, devouring the targets and using the Corrosive Spores skill to kill the most targets quickly.

…

The days went by slowly, but Liu Yang didn't know how much time had passed because there was no sun or moon, just a brightly lit and corpse-covered coliseum with rivers of blood running everywhere.

His actions have become automatic, beat a wave, drink a potion, switch weapons, and continue the fight as if his life depended on it.

At the same time, the numbers on the creature wave counter were slowly rising.

From wave to wave, the number increased over time.

There were times when he thought about giving up to end the suffering. But if he died, his parents would be sad, to make matters worse, he would shame his father because he said he would tell the stories of his own adventures.

Whenever a creature was defeated and the counter went up, a glimmer of hope that this would end rose in his heart.

…

A little more than a month later…

The creature waves and quantity counter were almost completed 995 / 1000 and 999 / 1000.

Liu Yang was already almost finished with the deadly challenge.

His cuts were quick and precise, but the looks on his face were blank and lifeless.

The movements made were only mechanical.

After so long doing the same thing without resting or closing his eyes, Liu Yang's body started doing things automatically.

The Mushroom continued by his side, attacking and devouring like a restless creature.

999… 1000

ding… ding…

boom!!! booom!!!

Several fireworks exploded in the colosseum sky and the system made the announcement.

"Congratulations on being the first to complete the Dual Class challenge"

"As the first to achieve this achievement, you will receive a special reward, the passive skill Immortal Will."

Immortal Will (Max Level) - ??????

There was no information on what this skill was, but it must be something that defied the heavens because it was only given to the first to complete the challenge.

A light shone and the coliseum disappeared.

Liu Yang returned to the previous room.

clang!!! clang!! pofff…

His hands went limp, his sword, his shield, and his body fell to the ground.

The Mushroom stood in the same spot with its two empty holes looking in a random direction.

ding… ding…

"Challenger, choose your prize"

…

Another month later…

Liu Yang's motionless body finally moved after so long. He was asleep for all this time after completing the challenge.

"Where am I? My head is very sore…" He muttered. The vision was still blurry and headaches were severe.

"Is this room from before? Did I really pass the challenge? I DID IT!!!!!!!!!!!" Liu Yang couldn't believe what was happening.

The last thing he remembered before he fell was that there were still creatures around him to be attacked.

When opening the system window, a new option appeared.

Class 1: None

⇳ (switch)

Class 2: None

"This is amazing!!!!!"

Liu Yang squealed with joy and even jumped up to hug the Mushroom, without it, he would never have been able to pass the challenge.

"Here you can eat"

Many kinds of potions and pet food were thrown into the Mushroom's mouth.

ding… ding …

"Challenger, choose your prize"

A table containing all sorts of shiny and weird items appeared before Liu Yang.
