Urban Romantic Divine Doctor

”So that’s how it is...” Xu Wendong narrowed his eyes, thinking to himself, ”No wonder Elder Bai insisted on gathering ninety-nine people; this is the truth behind it all!”

Having witnessed the darkness and cruelty of the Heavenly Nether Sect, Xu Wendong fully understood Elder Bai’s sinister intentions.

In Elder Bai’s eyes, the lives of these Heavenly Nether Sect disciples were worthless.

Just then, a solemn, majestic toll of a bell began to resound.

”Dong! Dong! Dong!”

The three consecutive chimes struck the hearts of everyone like heavy hammers.

In the sky, eight elders acted simultaneously.

Their hands swiftly formed hand seals, and terrifying yin energy surged from their hands, like torrents of black streams, rushing toward a high platform in the center of the square.

A moment later.

A flash of light appeared on the platform, slowly revealing a large white circular mirror.

The mirror emitted a gentle white light, at first glance giving a sense of warmth and tranquility.

However, Xu Wendong vaguely felt that beneath this seemingly gentle light, there lurked endless killing intent.

”Next, those whose names are called will enter.” Elder Bai’s voice was still calm, but carried a hint of iciness: ”If any of you can pass the trial and open the entrance to the relic for the Heavenly Nether Sect, you will be a great hero of our sect and will receive a rich reward of a million Nether Crystals!”

”First, Liu Qi.” Elder Bai announced loudly.

As soon as he finished speaking, a frail disciple timidly stepped out from the crowd, his legs trembling slightly, his face full of fear and despair.

He walked step by step toward the white light, each step seemingly exhausting all his strength.

As soon as his body touched the white light, it was as if a powerful force pulled him in instantly, disappearing without a trace.

Afterwards, those outside had no idea what was happening inside.

Suddenly, a flash of light appeared on the mirror, and the originally gentle white turned into a dazzling red.

The many elders frowned upon seeing this.

They understood that red represented failure, which meant that person had already died inside.

When the mirror’s light changed back to white, Elder Bai immediately shouted out the second name.

The entire process proceeded extremely swiftly, with almost everyone who went in, disappearing like a stone sunk into the sea, without any return, lying inside, never to come out again.

As time passed, those remaining grew increasingly tense, and the emotion of fear spread through the crowd like a plague.

Even though they had long known the Heavenly Nether Sect was using their lives to fuel this mysterious mirror, none dared to rebel.

In this world where the strong are respected, their rebellion seemed so powerless.

”Next, Lin Mo!” Elder Bai’s voice rang out like a thunderclap over the square.

Upon hearing this name, the crowd immediately stirred with commotion.

The exploits of Xu Wendong had already spread widely within the Heavenly Nether Sect.

No one had expected that a newcomer could directly take down Bai Gushan and harshly handle a batch of the sect’s veteran disciples.

Such astounding achievements made everyone look at him in a new light.

Everyone thought, if given time to continue his cultivation, he might indeed become a core disciple of the Heavenly Nether Sect.

However, this day’s genius was faced with a test of death.

Elder Bai cast his gaze, filled with murderous intent, at Xu Wendong.

He was about to see how Xu Wendong would deal with this inevitable death scenario.

Elder Xuanlu in the sky also turned his gaze to Xu Wendong, with a mocking smile on his face, those eyes seemed to say: there’s still a chance, just hand over the fifth-grade Divine Power Technique, and I can save you!

Unfortunately, Xu Wendong remained calm, his steps steady, unhesitatingly walking toward the mirror.

His eyes revealed a resolute fearlessness, as if declaring to everyone that he would never bow to fate.

”What a fool!” Huang Huntuo stood aside, watching Xu Wendong’s back, sneering as he spoke.

Not far away, Miss Zhao Ying’er of the Zhao Family looked worried, her hands clenched tightly together, her nails almost digging into her palms.

She knew that from now on, everything depended solely on Xu Wendong himself.

Liu Hao, the eldest son of the Liu Family, who had been taught a lesson by Xu Wendong before in Netherworld City, also spotted Xu Wendong.

Seeing that Xu Wendong was about to enter the mirror to participate in the trial, he was so excited he was nearly delirious.

”Haha, that damn bastard!”

”Once he’s dead, I’ll charge into Netherworld City and slaughter the entire Lin Family!”

”The turtle, daring to cheat me out of my Nether Crystals, I’ll make him pay the most painful price!” Liu Hao’s eyes were vicious, as if already envisioning Xu Wendong’s tragic death.

At this moment, Xu Wendong stepped into the mirror.

A dazzling flash passed, and suddenly Xu Wendong found himself surrounded by vast darkness, frighteningly silent, without the slightest sound, as if the entire world had fallen into a dead silence.

”Eh? Wasn’t this supposed to be a trial? Why does it seem like there’s nothing here?” Xu Wendong muttered to himself in confusion.

Just as he was cautiously examining his surroundings, dozens of golden lights shot through the darkness like meteors.

Upon closer inspection, these golden lights were the people who had entered the mirror for the trial and died earlier.

”What’s going on?” Xu Wendong frowned, feeling a foreboding sense of unease.

Could it be that those people hadn’t died, but were trapped here forever?

Before he could react, those dozens of individuals attacked like crazed beasts.

Thick waves of yang energy crashed over him like a tide; Xu Wendong’s pupils shrunk sharply: ”Something’s wrong, very wrong! These attack methods are all yang energy?”

In the Netherworld, yang energy is extremely rare and dangerous, this relic’s trial is truly too bizarre.

Just then, a surge of yang energy struck Xu Wendong.

Strangely, instead of causing him much harm, it was like a long-awaited rain on parched soil, neutralizing the abundant yin qi power accumulated within him.

Xu Wendong realized, only when yin and yang merge could one’s cultivation level rise, enhancing the physical body.

But this was the Netherworld, yang energy, though a supreme treasure, was also the most poisonous thing.

After all, yang energy overpowers yin energy too much; rapidly infusing large amounts of yang energy could lead to death for those in the Netherworld.

Even when Xu Wendong and Lin Yin cultivated the Dragon Phoenix Creation Technique, they had to cautiously balance back and forth to let the power of yin and yang reach equilibrium.

”No wonder those people died before...” Xu Wendong instantly understood the key point.

The disciples of the Heavenly Nether Sect cultivated yin qi soul power; facing such yang energy-based attacks, they stood no chance.

But he was different!

Being originally a Yang Soul, how could he fear yang energy?

With this thought, a determined glint shone in Xu Wendong’s eyes, knowing his opportunity had arrived...
