THE TEST

“How did you find out about Jongo’s escape and the war?” Kai asked.

“My vessel is this statue, so I could not leave the confines of the temple and help the Sea Dragon Clan. But thanks to the mark on the scrolls and other artifacts, I can observe the world around me. Unless, of course, they are too far away.”

“I see.” Kai heaved a heavy sigh and clenched his fists. His hatred for the Salamanders only grew stronger.

“Kai, would you like to master the Cold Void?” the Spirit asked seriously.

Kai nodded. There was nothing but determination in his gaze.

“Good. But know that it will be difficult. And bear in mind that you might fail. Only one of the fifty disciples of the Sea Dragon Clan has managed to learn it so far. Only U’Shor’s descendants ever came close to grasping its true essence. The rest are not even worth mentioning. Even touching the Cold Void is ten times more difficult if the Sea Dragon’s blood does not flow through your veins. However, my master and creator was very generous, wishing to give the ordinary people a chance to master this element as well. But for this, you need to pass a test.”

“I understand.”

“Here, take a look.” The Spirit opened his translucent palm. On it appeared a scarlet crystal, surrounded by a thin ring of frost. It was small, not larger than a fingernail, but filled to the brim with power, Forces, and fragments of someone’s will. “This is one of the thousands of drops of my creator’s blood. Before leaving, he created these frozen beads for his descendants, in which he sealed his own understanding of the Cold Void. If you swallow one such crystal, you will be able to contemplate these Forces. Bear in mind, however, that success depends only on your talent.”

The Spirit fell silent for a while. The crystal evaporated from his palm in a cloud of sparkling steam. The cold Kai felt coming from it, even though he was standing a few feet away, disappeared in an instant.

“But, as I said, you are not his descendant, and therefore it will be much more difficult for you to use his blood. Maybe you will even die,” the guardian continued. “Therefore, we must make sure that you are up for the task. Just one crystal is enough to freeze not only your body but your soul as well. If you cannot handle its sealed power, you will definitely die. The chance of success is one in a hundred. That is why I am asking again — are you sure that you want to master the Cold Void?”

The Spirit’s words echoed loudly throughout the temple. There was so much power in them that even the walls shook. Kai felt his heart flutter.

Despite his warnings and hallow voice, the Spirit actually enjoyed chatting with the young cultivator. After all, it had been a hundred or so years since he had last spoken with someone. Because of this, he didn’t want the young man to risk his life.
