Unlike the previous two offerings, the Holy Fire Faith Crystal, same as the Pure Blue Glass Heart that directed Yan Qing here, had specific requirements for the heroes.
It must be noted that Wu Yong, the No. 3 figure on Liangshan, had tried challenging the Pure Blue Glass Heart before Yan Qing did.
Undoubtedly, the primary advisor of Liangshan was more popular than Yan Qing was, or he wouldn't have been qualified to challenge it first.
Yet he failed the challenge and lost the opportunity to arrive at the Twin Dragon Island.
It was because the offering cared more than strength. If a person couldn't meet the special requirements, they couldn't pass the test even with the suppression of the power of providence!
Hum!
After being activated by the golden light, the Holy Fire Faith Crystal initiated a test battlefield as the previous two offerings did.
In the Temple of Providence, a Holy Fire Altar, with twelve enormous black pillars at the edge and a translucent Statue of Light in the center that seemed to be made of fire and light, emerged!
However, it was slightly different from the cave that Ji Ye entered earlier, in that there was no Fang La on the Holy Fire Altar. Instead, a hundred Holy Fire believers were on their knees devoutly with the gesture of tribute and white glow at the center of their eyebrows.
As what the players were worried about, it was the fact that after the Special Perfect offering was activated, none of the three Soul of Civilizations on the other hand showed any reaction in almost ten seconds.
"Is none of the Extraordinary heroes in the setting of our settlement confident of passing the test? Is the ritual going to fail?"
Su Nongying, who was hosting the ritual independently for the first time, had a bad feeling.
Hum!
Fortunately, exactly at this time, the Extraordinary Rank-9 Soul of Civilization that Fang La dropped finally had reactions. It glowed in a corner of the cave near the altar and turned into a mysterious male hero with a blurry face.
He was mysterious exactly because he wasn't sure he could complete the challenge, just like Zhao Yun wasn't earlier. So, there wasn't a poetic announcement that implied his identity.
Also, the mysterious hero with a blurry face had empty hands, so it was impossible to speculate his identity from his weapon.
Shua! Shua! Shua!
After the hero was projected to the battlefield, all the Holy Fire believers on their knees at the altar turned their eyes at him.
Nobody said anything, and the whole test battlefield was absolutely quiet!
Clip-clop, clip-clop, clip-clop...
There was only the noise when the mysterious hero of unknown background walked to the Statue of Light at the center of the altar that seemed to be made of substantial light and fire.
"Those who commit blasphemy shall be burnt by holy fire!"
After he started walking, the eyes of the Holy Fire believers who gazed at him were filled with zealotry.
Then, the Holy Fire believer who was kneeling right in front of him rose abruptly and charged at the mysterious hero with white flames spreading across his body.
Boom!
Then, after he extended his hands and hugged the mysterious hero, he exploded with a violent vibe sweeping out!
"Ah!"
A tide of exclamations echoed in the Temple of Providence.
Although the glowing believers of Holy Fire didn't seem to be made of flesh and blood, and the scene of their explosions wasn't as bloody and gory as that of the real self-explosions on the battlefield, the explosions here were even more powerful than before.
Although the power of the test battlefield was suppressed by the power of providence and couldn't spread out, the female players and natives who were close to the battlefield felt a terrifying heat.
The Holy Fire that resulted from the explosion even consumed the mysterious hero who had set foot on the altar. He didn't move for quite a few seconds!
"Has he failed?"
"The soldiers of Fang La can kill enemies above their rank by detonating themselves."
"What should we do? The people outside are waiting for the reinforcements from the rituals!"
A few female players beside Su Nongying looked at the center of the flames worriedly.
"I don't think so. The fact that he responded to the challenge means that he's a Perfect hero. Even if he can't pass the test, he shouldn't fail so easily!"
Su Nongying held the Registration Book tightly as she reassured her subordinates.
Thud!
Exactly as Su Nongying had speculated, the mysterious hero walked out of the Holy Fire that continued to burn after the explosion of the believer and went on to the Statue of Light at the center.
In the test battlefield, the explosions of the Holy Fire believers who were not made of flesh and blood seemed unable to kill anyone directly with their explosions.
However, certain damage might be even more insufferable than death.
The agony when the Holy Fire, which could blacken Ji Ye's arm after he used the healing talent, was filled into one's body through their mouth and nostrils was not something that every hero could bear.
That sort of pain should be enough for 90% of the heroes to jump off the altar and give up the challenge because they couldn't bear it!
That wasn't even the central reason why the offering had high requirements.
Boom!
After the mysterious hero walked out, another Holy Fire believer chose to detonate himself.
This time, because the explosion was close to Su Nongying and her companions, she clearly sensed that the explosion caused an unbearable shock to the mind and the soul apart from the heat that could burn someone into ashes!
In fact, the believers weren't just detonating their bodies. They were also blowing up their souls. The Holy Fire that they caused could burn the soul as fiercely as they burned the physical body.
More importantly, there were a hundred believers on the altar, which meant that in order to pass the test, one had to go through the mental and physical tortures a hundred times!
Boom, boom, boom...
In the Temple of Providence, every explosion of the Holy Fire believers resulted in the light of a sun, illuminating the female natives and players who put their hands on their mouths or the eyes of the children next to them!
Thud, thud, thud!
Under the dual attacks on the mind and the body, the mysterious hero whose face couldn't be seen didn't stop for once.
Instead, he persistently moved to the Statue of Light at the center of the altar against all the blast!
Boom!
A minute later, after he finally walked out of the explosions of the last ten Holy Fire believers, which caused flames more than ten meters tall, he reached the transparent statue that seemed to be made of fire and light.
"I am the Lord of Light. Obey me and you'll get anything you want."
A message was sent out of the Statue of Light.
"I'll bestow great power on you. The enemy that you hate will be punished. Your wife will be revived..."
Even though the message had been purged and couldn't really influence the mind, everybody at the temple still felt like falling on their knees.
"He can revive someone?"
"Is he a god?"
"Is that the statue of a real deity?"
The people who were still uncomfortable after seeing the miserable death of their families in Hua Rong's test mumbled to themselves.
The mysterious hero, who had been unwavering while faced with the explosions of a hundred people on his way, hesitated. His previously sharp eyes became dull on his blurry face.
