#406 - The weakness of the mind, the exit of illusion

Filled with such doubts, Anna was soon imprisoned in the auction house's jail, and so passed more than half a year.

In the jail, Anna couldn't eat or sleep well, living a life of coarse food, numbing her nerves, which were on the verge of collapse.

Her mind could no longer distinguish whether this was an illusion or reality!

For half a year, she had tried to scratch her skin with iron nails, wanting to prove that she was in an illusion, but the intense pain and crimson blood didn't seem like her hallucination.

Besides this, Anna had also tried to cultivate the Mysterious Heaven Skill and the White Tiger Meditation Technique that Davis had taught her, wanting to increase her soul power and escape from here, but her soul power didn't increase even by a sliver.

Not only did her soul power not increase, but even when cultivating the techniques, Anna felt nothing at all, as if the Mysterious Heaven Skill and the White Tiger Meditation Technique were just figments of her imagination.

If it was an illusion, then why was this place so real!

And if this was reality, then why was the dream she had half a year ago so vivid?

Anna thought about these questions every day, using various methods to try to prove that this was just an illusion, but the more she thought like this, the more she couldn't distinguish between illusion and reality, and eventually, she succumbed to her own delusions.

"I can't tell! What is this place? Illusion? Or reality? I can't tell! I really can't tell!"

"Was the time I spent with Brother Davis and Sister Zhu Yun just my imagination?"

"No! That's impossible. The time before, the experiences with Brother Davis, could never be my hallucination… Never!"

At this moment, heavy snow fell from the sky, gently burying the girl's body. This girl was Anna. Five months ago, just like in the "dream," she was auctioned off as merchandise. In the dream, she met Davis, who was very kind to her.

But this time, Anna was obviously not so lucky. She was bought by a nobleman and became the nobleman's servant. At the same time, the nobleman also gave her a meditation technique, allowing her to cultivate soul power.

However, Anna always wanted to find Davis to confirm whether this was reality or an illusion. Therefore, on a dark and windy night, she escaped from the nobleman's territory, came to Star Luo City, and sneaked into the Star Luo Imperial Palace.

However, after arriving at the Imperial Palace, she was completely desperate, because there was no such person as Davis in this world, and she was regarded as an assassin and hunted down by the guards in the Imperial Palace.

Although Anna finally escaped, she was still seriously injured and collapsed in the alley. Blood stained the surrounding snow red, and the cold swept through her body. Anna's consciousness gradually blurred, and finally, she closed her eyes forever in endless despair and confusion.

… …

"Ah!!!"

Suddenly, Anna screamed, then abruptly opened her eyes, gasping for breath.

Then, she suddenly looked up and saw a pitch-black tiger standing in front of her, like a small mountain.

The hot air exhaled by the tiger blew against her cheeks, and a huge memory forcibly squeezed into Anna's brain, regardless of whether her small body could bear it. Finally, Anna slumped to the ground, panting and muttering.

"Brother Davis, what was that just now…"

"Nana, don't you remember?" Suddenly, Davis's voice came from the Star Luo Sacred Tiger's mouth, "After you completed the first stage of special training, I came to conduct the second stage of special training for you. Then I suddenly attacked, using Zhu Yun's third soul skill: Nether Spring Fall, pulling you into an endless nightmare!"

"This! If that's the case, then everything just now was a nightmare I had… That's great…" After saying this, Anna breathed a sigh of relief, lying on the ground with a tired expression, a faint smile on the corner of her mouth. At the same time, scalding tears welled up in her eyes. Soon, her face was covered with tears as she sobbed, venting the grievances and dissatisfaction she experienced in the illusion…

At this time, accompanied by a ray of light, Davis released the martial soul fusion skill, and under Zhu Zhuqing and Zhu Yun's resentful gazes, came to Anna's side.

The three of them knew everything about Anna's experiences in the dream. Zhu Zhuqing and Zhu Yun had previously complained that Davis was too cruel to Anna. They weren't mortal enemies, so why torture Anna so much in the illusion? He was clearly still Anna's brother and master.

The two women also pleaded with Davis, asking him not to torture Anna's consciousness in the illusion, but in the end, Davis rejected the two women's suggestion.

Precisely because he was Anna's brother and master, he was very clear about Anna's weaknesses.

Davis sat down beside Anna, raised his hand, and stroked the young girl's head, "Nana, do you know what your biggest weakness is?"

"What is it? I have the Super Artifact Sea God Trident, I have the Artifact Vast Sea Universe Cover, I also have the top-level mutated martial soul, my physical strength is also comparable to a high-level Soul Douluo, and my soul ring configuration is also top-notch. I don't know what weaknesses I still have."

"Not bad!" Davis nodded slightly, "Nana, your strength is very strong. Under the heavens, there are definitely no more than a handful of people who can defeat you head-on, but the weakness I'm talking about is not in your body or martial soul, but in your heart, the weakness in your heart!"

Anna looked puzzled, "The weakness in my heart…"

"That's right! Your biggest weakness is that you rely on us too much. Once we are not by your side, even the slightest disturbance will make you feel at a loss, just like what you experienced in the illusion. In fact, it is very simple for you to get out of that illusion!"

Davis said so. In fact, he did set an exit for Anna in the illusion, which was to obtain a soul ring and become a soul master. It was that simple.

Davis just wanted to see if Anna could become a soul master again by her own strength without his help.

As long as Anna could become a soul master again in the illusion, she could get out of the illusion. But obviously, Anna did not pass the test. Once familiar people like Davis or Zhu Zhuqing were not around, Anna was immediately at a loss.

The first thing she thought of after getting the meditation technique was not to become stronger, but to find Davis. How could this work?

Davis knew very well that the Sea God's ninth trial would be very difficult. If Anna didn't have an indomitable heart, she would definitely not be able to pass the test of the seven emotions and six desires.

Therefore, he wanted to use his own method to temper Anna's heart!
