Fun

While Emir left for the next section of the maze, Arcadia's voice echoed behind him.

"The next challenge is one of strength."

"You must defeat a beast to move forward. Be warned, it is not an ordinary creature. It is a construct, a mechanical being created to test the physical limits of those who enter this ruin."

"You are not allowed the use of any type of weapon, not even your augmented strength, trust that if you do use it, I will know."

And as he listened to Arcadia's warning about the next challenge, he felt a twinge of apprehension.

'This is going to be a true test of my skills, though my cultivation strength boost might help here, but I won't be telling her that.'

He quickly pushed aside his doubts and bubbling excitement that began to uncontrollably grow inside him, somehow managing to maintain a calm façade.

"I understand," he replied, his voice steady.

Emir continued to walk forward and found himself in a large room.
