The Strongest Prodigy Doctor

Chapter 869 - 969: Breaking the Trial

"What on earth are you talking about?" Qin Ruomeng's brows knit tightly together. Seeing this made Ye Tianfan's heart ache, but Ye Tianfan knew that this was all fake!Just as Ye Tianfan truly believed that everything was fake, suddenly, memories about the Trial surfaced in his mind, and only then did Ye Tianfan understand that he was still within the trial.

So Ye Tianfan spoke to the two of them, though he was mainly speaking to Qin Ruomeng: "Being able to hold you once more… feels so good. Goodbye!"

Qin Ruomeng and Tian Chu Zhenren seemed to already know that things had come to an end. They didn't continue acting, but instead smiled and bid farewell to Ye Tianfan!

Ye Tianfan's vision went black, and when he opened his eyes again, he found that he had returned to the Iceberg of the Heart. What was different from just now was that this time, outside the Iceberg of the Heart, Bang Dali was still very young, just like he had been before Ye Tianfan went in!

When Bang Dali saw Ye Tianfan open his eyes, he was immediately stunned, then turned to Ye Tianfan and asked, "You've already woken up? You've already gone through the trial?"

Ye Tianfan looked at Bang Dali from inside with some confusion, then said, "Yeah, I woke up. Of course I went through the trial. Why are you asking like that?"

After hearing Ye Tianfan's words, Bang Dali swallowed a mouthful of saliva, then formed a spell and let Ye Tianfan out.

Once Ye Tianfan came out, Bang Dali said to him, "Why am I asking like that? Do you know how long you stayed in there?"

Seeing Bang Dali's shocked expression, Ye Tianfan felt something was off. Could it be that he had stayed in there for a very long time? Could it be that he had stayed for more than three days?

No, that wasn't right. Hadn't they said they would call him out after at most three days?

Or had it been less than three days, much less, otherwise Bang Dali wouldn't have such a shocked expression.

"How long did I stay?" No matter how Ye Tianfan thought about it, he couldn't figure out how long he had stayed in there to make Bang Dali this astonished!

So Ye Tianfan simply asked directly!

"You had just gone in, and when I saw that you'd already entered the Trial of the Heart, I was preparing to leave. But before I even left, you had already woken up. You tell me, how long did you stay?" Bang Dali said, "Do you know? In our records, you're the only one who has ever come out of the Trial of the Heart this fast!"

When Ye Tianfan heard how much time had passed, he was startled at first, then felt that this timing fit. After all, in the trial, the time he spent was basically: coming out of that world, hugging Qin Ruomeng once, then the Demon Sect attacking the city, and finally him realizing that he was still in the trial, that everything had been fake!

This amount of time made sense. It was just that it didn't match what Bang Dali had said about one day equaling a year; at most it seemed like one day equaled two or three days!

The more he thought about it, the more Ye Tianfan felt it was terrifying. If he had really sunk into that world like that, then after three days, he definitely wouldn't have awakened on his own. After all, other people had three years, while he, counting generously, had not even ten days. The gap in between was huge!

So at this moment Ye Tianfan felt somewhat fortunate that he had discovered it so early; otherwise, he truly wouldn't have been able to pass this Trial of the Heart!

"You passed the Trial of the Heart, which means you crossed that hurdle in your own heart. So, how is it? Any gains?" Bang Dali looked at Ye Tianfan and asked. In their Dali Sect, once someone passed the Trial of the Heart, they wouldn't get stuck at the next major realm. Basically, they could advance straight through, unless they encountered some major event later on.

"Gains?" Ye Tianfan thought of how he had met Qin Ruomeng in the trial. If not for the appearance of Qin Ruomeng and Long Yuqing, he would never have realized that that world was fake.

It seemed those two really were his benefactors.

"The gains were huge. It fulfilled a wish of mine. Even though it was fake, it eased my longing!" After Ye Tianfan finished speaking, he gazed off into the distance, a little lost in thought!

"Is that so." Seeing Ye Tianfan fall into contemplation, Bang Dali didn't disturb him. After all, falling into contemplation meant he hadn't completely walked out of the trial yet. Even though he had already come out at the time, the memories within the trial weren't so easy to walk away from. Since he'd just come out of this Trial of the Heart, he needed at least a bit of time to缓一缓.

After waiting for a while, Bang Dali said to Ye Tianfan, "Alright, there's nothing else coming up next. If you want to hang around the Dali Sect for a while, then stay and play for a bit. If you don't feel like it, you can head wherever you want to go!"

Ye Tianfan came back to himself, and after hearing Bang Dali's words, he said to Bang Dali, "Thank you!"

"No need to be so polite! After all, in this operation to eradicate that organization, the greatest credit belongs to your Taichu Sect. Our Dali Sect didn't contribute any particularly great merit. Being able to give you all a single slot for the Trial of the Heart is already on the small side!"

Ye Tianfan smiled, thinking to himself that actually the greatest merit belonged to the Great Yama; he was the one who took down the final boss. If not for him, whether that assault would have succeeded was still an unknown.

However, Ye Tianfan didn't say this out loud. After all, even if he did, no one would believe it. The leader of that organization had had his most powerful "final boss" underling killed off by him—wouldn't that sound like utter nonsense?

Bang Dali took his leave, because he was already the next Sect Leader of the Dali Sect, and the people of the Dali Sect had just returned. There were still many things to handle, so after telling Ye Tianfan to make himself at home, Bang Dali left to deal with sect affairs!

And as he left, he also told the guards stationed at the Iceberg of the Heart that when Ye Tianfan left, they were to inform him immediately. If Ye Tianfan only wanted to stroll around in the Dali Sect, then they were to accompany him and let him have a good tour of their Dali Sect.

After Bang Dali left, Ye Tianfan probed his own mind and spirit, and discovered that although he had crossed a massive hurdle in his heart, it didn't seem like there had been any great improvement. What was going on? Had he woken up too early?

In fact, what Ye Tianfan didn't know was that waking up within the Trial of the Heart wouldn't immediately raise his heart-realm by a huge margin. It would first improve a bit, and then, from then on, it would increase a little every day. Although not by much, it would keep growing, and it wouldn't be easy for him to notice.

Although the improvement was slow, it would last for a very long time, even up to several hundred years. Moreover, this rate of improvement wouldn't affect his cultivation. So when he cultivated, his realm would rise as if there were no bottlenecks at all, shooting up rapidly, because the heart-realm he gained in a single day would be enough to cover several days' worth of cultivation.

It was just that Ye Tianfan hadn't realized it yet. If Ye Tianfan didn't cultivate for a month, then he would be able to clearly sense his heart-realm rising. At that time, Ye Tianfan would finally understand just how great the gains from the Trial of the Heart really were!
