"Excuse me, how do you think one should pass the trial of the Refining Heart Mirror Image?" Abner stood up, a puzzled look on his face as he asked.
Abner had experienced it but barely won in a muddle.
Given another try, at best he would only be 60 percent sure of victory.
Volgan glanced at him, "Who are you?"
"Adventurer's Weekly Eight-Star Rating, Swordsman Abner."
Abner bowed slightly, seemingly unfazed by Volgan's dismissive attitude.
But inside, he couldn't help sighing with dissatisfaction. In the eyes of a top talent like Volgan, perhaps anyone below a Ten Star Adventurer was no different from a Slime.
Volgan let out an "Oh," and explained:
"The method to pass the trial is actually very simple.
Growth.
I've heard of the Refining Heart Mirror Image trial.
The generated shadow possesses the same strength as the original body at the time of separation.
So, all you need to do is grow stronger than you once were."
