#407 - Trial of the Heart

"Leaving the illusion?" Recalling everything she had experienced in the illusion, Anna couldn't help but feel a wave of lingering fear. She quickly sat up, her eyes fixed on Davis.

"Brother Davis, tell me, how am I supposed to escape this illusion?"

"Well..."

Davis shook his head, thinking that Anna's heart was still too fragile. Telling her how to escape the illusion would be like forcing growth, doing more harm than good. She had to discover it herself.

With that thought, Davis shook his head and smiled, "I can't tell you that. You need to discover it yourself. But I can give you a hint: When you have experienced the seven layers of solitude, you will become a true powerhouse! And when you become a powerhouse, the world will change because of you! Nana, you must remember these words."

Having said that, Davis glanced at the sky. It was already sunset, and the sky was getting dark. He couldn't help but smile and say, "Alright, it's getting late today. Nana, you must be tired. Go and rest. Tomorrow morning, we will continue our special training!"

"Ah? Again? No way!"

Thinking about her experiences in the illusion, Anna didn't want to go through it again. But Davis wouldn't let her be so comfortable, and he just revealed a wicked smile.

"Hehe, Nana, it's not up to you. Just be prepared. Your brother will take good care of you! Hehehe..."

Davis's spiritual power was already above Anna's. Now, with the blessing of Zhu Zhuqing and Zhu Zhuyun, the three of them working together, Anna had no ability to resist. Her consciousness was directly pulled into the illusion.

Due to the influence of Davis's spiritual power, Anna's memories were somewhat blurred, so much so that she couldn't remember what she had experienced yesterday, only vaguely remembering what Davis had told her.

...

"Ah? My head hurts so much! What's wrong with me? I remember Brother Davis was going to give me special training, but where is this...?"

"You little rascal, stop sleeping!" At this moment, her mother's familiar voice came again. Looking at the surrounding environment, Anna's mind exploded!

"That's right, I remember now. This is an illusion. I have to find a way to break the illusion and return to reality. But what should I do?"

When you have experienced the seven layers of solitude, you will become a true powerhouse! And when you become a powerhouse, the world will change because of you!

These words kept echoing in her mind, and Anna was also thinking about the meaning of these words.

"The seven layers of solitude, what is that? Although I don't know what it means, there is no doubt that Brother Davis wants me to become stronger!

That's right, my soul power is only level nine now, and my spiritual power is only at the level of an ordinary person. As long as I can become stronger, I can not only improve my soul power, but also my spiritual power. When my spiritual power becomes stronger, maybe I can find the flaws in the illusion!"

Thinking of this, Anna stopped dwelling on Davis and just thought about how to become stronger and improve her strength.

In the end, Anna was still sold to the auction house by her parents, and finally imprisoned in a cell. But this time, she didn't give up on herself.

Since getting on the auction house's carriage, she had been exercising on the carriage. The Mysterious Heaven Skill and the White Tiger Meditation Method could not help her improve her soul power in the illusion. All Anna could do was keep exercising herself, trying to make her body stronger.

Therefore, whether it was on the carriage before or in the cell later, she did not give up exercising, even if the days were hard and the food was bad, she did not give up.

Seeing Anna constantly exercising her body, in order to prevent her from starving to death, they had to provide her with fresh steamed buns and stir-fried dishes. After all, Anna had innate soul power as high as level nine, a proper good seedling, and could be sold for a lot of money. The people at the auction house couldn't let the fat meat that had reached their mouths die.

With abundant food, Anna worked even harder to exercise, and in a short time, she gained a lot of muscle, and even her strength increased a lot.

Clearly a slave about to be auctioned, but desperately cultivating, not giving up on herself, Anna's performance attracted the attention of the president of the auction house, who felt that Anna was a talent to be molded, so he came to the dungeon to observe Anna up close.

After testing Anna's martial soul and soul power, he gave Anna a high evaluation, believing that she still had value. Although the Hundred Herbs Martial Soul was just a useless martial soul in his opinion, the ninth level of innate soul power, coupled with Anna's desire to become stronger, might lead to a miracle.

Merchants are all profit-driven. The moment he saw Anna, the president of the auction house knew that she was worth cultivating. If he could cultivate a Soul Douluo, it would be a profit for him.

Therefore, the president sent someone to invite Anna, saying that as long as she worked for them, she could not only get training and become a soul master, but also have meat to eat three meals a day. Naturally, Anna had no reason to refuse such conditions, so she directly joined the auction house and obtained the meditation method provided by the president.

After a short two months of cultivation, Anna's soul power quickly reached level ten. Then, the soul master who was loyal to the auction house also took her to obtain a soul ring. In the end, Anna cut off a hundred-year-old Bloodthirsty Vine and absorbed it effortlessly, and her soul power successfully reached level twelve.

Just as Anna obtained her first soul ring, the surrounding environment became blurred again, and finally, like a falling mirror, it completely shattered into countless fragments!

Except for herself, everything around her was completely shattered. At the same time, Anna was enlightened and thought of her experience during the first special training yesterday. Only at this time did Anna understand what Davis meant.

"I understand! As long as I have the heart of a powerhouse, everything in the world will change because of me!"

In yesterday's special training, Anna was too dependent on Davis, always wanting to find Davis but neglecting her own cultivation, and eventually "died tragically" in the icy and snowy world.

And this time, Anna decided not to rely on Davis anymore, but to become stronger on her own. Getting the strong support of the president of the auction house, she obtained her first soul ring in just two months. One can imagine that Anna's future is bright!

And this is what choice determines the future! Choice changes the world! Whatever choice you make, the world will change because of your choice.

At the same time, this is also what Davis wanted to tell Anna, that even without him, even without Zhu Zhuyun, even without anyone, Anna could become a soul master, or even a Titled Douluo, by her own power!

Soon, Anna's consciousness returned to reality. Now it was just noon. One day passed in the outside world, and one year passed in the illusion.

Anna only spent one hour walking out of Davis's illusion, and Davis nodded with relief.

"Nana, congratulations on completing the second stage of special training. Next is the third stage!" (End of this chapter)
