3rd POV
In a dark cave, if you look closely at the walls, you will find many inscriptions and the word "ordeal" written in kanji above a rusty door with "Slaughter Party" and a smiling demon's face inscribed on it. You can hear the sound of a child crying, then screaming, repeating this closed circle for a long, long time, until a few months have passed for the child in this state. Then, suddenly...
Kiran, unexpectedly, moved his hand, which was covered with some Qi to increase its sharpness, and slaughtered the goblin that had been trying to eat him for the hundredth time that day.
With dead eyes, Kiran looked around to find his sword lying on the side. He walked towards it slowly, suddenly punching a goblin approaching from the side, sending it flying away. Kiran bent down to grab his sword, then looked at the goblins present in the place as they rushed towards him, a total of 20 of them.
Kiran: "I will kill you all."
Kiran dodged the first goblin and swung his sword horizontally, causing the goblin's arm to fly into the air. The goblin screamed, and before he could slaughter it, he bent his upper body backward to avoid another goblin that jumped at him with a stone sword. Kiran then cut the goblin's stomach, which disappeared in a puff of smoke, leaving a small white stone in its place.
Kiran looked at the remaining goblins who rushed towards him at the same time. He took a jumping stance, and at the perfect moment, spread the Qi in his legs to jump over the goblins, landing on one of them and cutting off its head. He then jumped to the next goblin before the first one's body disappeared, kicking the goblin with all his might, sending its head flying like a ball and crashing into the stomach of another goblin, who fell to the ground and vomited blood. Kiran rushed towards him, smashing his head like mashed potatoes.
After a while, Kiran stood, his body stained with green fluid. The room suddenly lit up, and Kiran saw that the source of the light was a massive pillar in the middle of the cave with a countdown of 3:60, which began to decrease.
Kiran looked at the scattered energy stones around him, picked up one, sat cross-legged on the ground, and began slowly absorbing the energy in the stone, directing it to his Qi core steadily. After the first hour, Kiran had absorbed all the energy stones scattered in the room.
Kiran looked at his Qi core and found that it had increased by 2.5 times. He glanced at the timer and saw that he still had plenty of time, so he let his thoughts wander.
Kiran's Overview
Kiran began to recall everything he had been through. He remembered his teacher, the person Kiran thought of as a father and the closest person to him. He then remembered that his teacher had thrown him into this hell, causing Kiran's gentle heart to darken, becoming blacker than a moonless night. The image of his teacher shattered completely, and tears began to flow from Kiran's poor eyes.
Kiran, angrily talking to himself: "I will kill you." For a moment, Kiran's eyes reacted. For a brief moment, Kiran's full strength returned to the expert stage, and his Qi ignited with his overwhelming anger.
As the next few minutes passed, the place darkened again, and nearly 100 goblins appeared suddenly. Among them was a strange goblin, three times Kiran's height, muscular, with huge fangs, and holding a massive club.
The goblin champion screamed loudly, and all the goblins rushed towards Kiran.
Over time, Kiran managed to eliminate all the minions.
Kiran stood, panting, facing the goblin champion. They both stared into each other's eyes before the goblin champion screamed and rushed at Kiran, who did the same. As soon as the goblin champion's club collided with Kiran's sword, the goblin champion had the upper hand, sending Kiran flying a few meters back.
Kiran twisted in the air, landing on all fours like a cat. He stood up again, looking at his slightly numb hand, then said, "Die." He rushed towards the goblin champion again. Before the sword collided with the club, Kiran jumped, running over the club, spreading Qi onto his knee, shattering the goblin champion's teeth and pushing him back a few steps.
The goblin champion screamed in Kiran's face and rushed at him in anger. Kiran exploited the size difference between them, rushing between the goblin champion's legs. He spread Qi on his body and sword, striking the goblin champion's groin with the blunt side of the sword. Then Sinbad said, "Forbidden technique: Nutcracker."
The goblin champion's eyes rolled back, turning completely white, and he fell on his face, trembling in pain. Kiran ended his suffering forever by shoving his sword into the goblin champion's head, which disappeared in a puff of smoke, leaving behind a larger and lighter blue energy stone.
The room lit up again, showing a timer with 24:00, which began counting down again.
