Invincible Little School Doctor

Chapter 1231: Chapter 1230: Steps to Make Barbecue? (3 Updates)

No one knows how much time has passed when the black needles finally completely pierced Ye Haochuan’s body. But in the next moment, all these black needles disappeared.

Clearly, these needles were mere hallucinations.

However, although no real injuries were inflicted, the sensation of pain and the prolonged experience of fear and torment took an unimaginable toll on one’s spirit.

Ye Haochuan considered his willpower to be quite steadfast, yet deep down he was faintly afraid of experiencing such torment again.

”No, I’ve come this far, retreating now would be too regrettable!” Ye Haochuan kept reminding himself, ”To become a formidable presence, what does this pain matter?”

The rising belief quickly dispelled that trace of fear, and Ye Haochuan bit his teeth and took the next step.

As soon as his foot landed, those countless black needles appeared around him again, still moving toward him with an excruciatingly slow speed.

Having gone through it once before, Ye Haochuan was somewhat prepared this time, without the previous panic, making his step much lighter.

The black needles pierced through his body once again and then disappeared, only to reappear...

After more than ten repetitions, Ye Haochuan was no longer fearful, and he bore no mental burden against the black needles, since this harm only brought psychological pain without any physical damage, and hence the pain didn’t matter.

At the instant of realizing this, the black needles around him that were ready to attack suddenly dispersed quickly.

”Huh? Could it be that I’ve passed the fourth level?” Ye Haochuan thought happily.

But the next moment, he realized he had overthought. When he stepped forward again, the place where black needles should have appeared suddenly turned into a sea of fire, gradually spreading towards Ye Haochuan.

Damn it, going from piercing to roasting, isn’t this the process of making a barbecue? Is the next step to sprinkle spices?

Ye Haochuan couldn’t help but curse inwardly.

If it were in the past, he would usually disperse fire with the White Spirit Moxa Flame, but now without Spiritual Energy, he couldn’t use it. He could only watch helplessly as the flames spread onto his body.

After a long time, flames covered his body. Unlike the black needles, the flames didn’t disappear but kept clinging to his skin layer.

The flame didn’t even burn through his clothes, yet it made him feel as if his skin was already split open.

This kind of pain was different from the needle piercing, where the latter penetrated from outside to inside that spot while burning pain spread comprehensively across the skin’s surface.

Ye Haochuan’s veins bulged, and he clenched his teeth hard, enduring the pain with all his might. Even so, he felt signs of mental collapse.

The pain lingered for over a month. The continual high-intensity pain almost made Ye Haochuan faint, maybe fainting would have been lighter.

As the pain gradually faded away, Ye Haochuan gasped for air, the sweat on his body soaking his clothes completely.

His raised foot had remained in the air for a long time, but he was somewhat too afraid to step down.

Damn it, when did I—an unafraid young master—start fearing pain?

Ye Haochuan cursed in his heart, but nonetheless, this foot still didn’t fall quickly.

If he had to choose, he would rather never experience such spirit-crumbling pain again.

Closing his eyes to calm his mood, he hesitated for quite a while before inhaling deeply, and then slowly lifted his foot again.

Damn it, if I’m going to die, let it be quick, the more I hesitate, the more I endure fear!

Finally, he clenched his teeth and took another step.

The flames once again rolled in without a doubt, making Ye Haochuan shiver inwardly.

However, since he chose to take this step, there’s no reason to retreat.

Ye Haochuan gritted his teeth, silently enduring everything.

The second time was indeed not as frightening as before. Ye Haochuan was very grateful for having overcome his fear and taken that step again.

After twenty or so flame burns, Ye Haochuan gradually adapted. Until one moment, the flames finally dispersed like the black needles had before.

To replace it, instead of spices, it was Extreme Cold Ice.

One fire and one ice let Ye Haochuan thoroughly experience the taste of the Ice and Fire Dual Extremes.

The extreme cold was unbearable, but having gone through the previous two torments, Ye Haochuan was mentally strong enough. He adapted entirely to this trial after fewer than ten rounds.

Ye Haochuan had long learned the rules here; once you fully adapt, you can proceed to the next round.

However, saying it is easy; doing it is hard. One must experience it to be truly fearless.

The significance of this trial seems to be to make one’s spirit strong enough where any dire situation is calmly faced.

Even if he doesn’t obtain the inheritance this time, the experience itself can lead to tremendous growth. Or perhaps, this is part of the inheritance.

After the extreme ice, it was water torture, allowing Ye Haochuan to taste the feeling of suffocation. After that, it was Thunder Punishment...

Later on, Ye Haochuan couldn’t remember how many dire situations he had experienced; if he had to sum it up in one sentence, it would be ”Who the hell knows what I’ve been through?”.

He was becoming somewhat numb; for every dire situation, he appeared calm and unperturbed, resulting in spending less and less time in each trial.

Eventually, Ye Haochuan only experienced each subsequent dire situation once.

At the foot of the mountain, many Ji Family disciples were suddenly expelled from Vermilion Bird Holy Peak.

”Could it be that Young Master Yu succeeded?” Many guards felt joy in their hearts, gazing at the peak.

But after entering the fourth stage, neither Ji Tianyu nor Ye Haochuan seemed to move, making it impossible to tell who had the lead.

Ouyang Zhu tightly clenched his fists, realizing that even though he had tried to overestimate Ye Haochuan, he had still underestimated him as he quickly passed the second and third stages, slowly catching up with Ji Tianyu.

If the inheritance he thought was in Ji Tianyu’s grasp were snatched away by someone else, returning to the Ji Family, he would surely be torn apart by the Clan Leader.

He placed all his hopes on Ji Tianyu’s advantage of getting there earlier to beat Ye Haochuan to the summit.

But the next moment, he was absolutely despairing!

A familiar figure was pushed down by an unseen force. Who else could that be but Ji Tianyu?

”How could this happen?” Ouyang Zhu was dumbfounded. Didn’t anticipate such a terrifying end result.

”No!” Ji Tianyu was forcefully propelled from the fourth stage to the mountain foot by an unstoppable force. He could never have imagined someone arriving at the peak before him.

”No, this is not true! No one can be more talented than me!” Ji Tianyu quickly rose and charged towards Vermilion Bird Peak again.

But Vermilion Bird Peak suddenly seemed to have a strong barrier, and no matter how he tried to break through, it was impassable. Instead, he ended up with bruises all over.
