When vision returned in the room, even soone like Lynn was jolted all over, his gaze instantly sharpening.
It was like an illusion.
He hadn't appeared at the position where he entered the room, but had materialized directly on a chair in the very center, his body seemingly locked in place by an incredibly strange force, completely unable to move.
At the sa ti, a system prompt sounded in his mind.
[Ding! You have triggered a challenge mission: Five Gates. Mission introduction: Remain calm and persist for 30 minutes before your willpower collapses.]
Almost simultaneously with the system prompt,
a slender hand slowly wrapped around his neck from behind, and crimson lips breathed orchid-scented air by his ear.
"Lynn, aren't you... lonely all alone?"
That voice was like opium poppies, making your ears itch and even stirring restlessness in your heart.
The next mont,
a golden-haired woman with partially undone robes hugged his neck and gently settled into his lap, her eyes seductive as silk, fingers lightly brushing his cheek as she gazed at him with extre allure.
She was a woman perfect in every aspect - whether her gaze or her figure, she could ignite the most primal desires in any male.
And Lynn finally understood the aning of this challenge.
Temptation!
For normal male humans, this was an absolutely difficult barrier to overco, because it stemd from biological instincts of desire and impulse.
Lynn imdiately centered his spirit, calming his mind and breath, his gaze soon becoming as still as an ancient well.
No other reason!
Because Lynn knew all of this was false. Even if a super beauty was sitting in his lap, so what?
The Buddha said.
Form is emptiness, emptiness is form.
Once this trial ends, everything becos illusion - you can't keep any of it!
And more importantly...
He centered his spirit, steadied his mind, closed his eyes, completely ignoring the woman posturing seductively in his arms.
"Really don't want to look? Little brother."
"Whatever request you make, big sister can fulfill it for you~"
"It's fine, this isn't a test for you - it's your reward. You probably haven't tasted a mature woman's flavor yet, have you..."
Seductive phrases kept sounding by Lynn's ears as the woman coiled around him like a beautiful serpent, constantly stimulating those most primal desires. ꭆ𝓪Ɲ𝖔ᛒĚŠ
anwhile, outside,
the Head Examiner and the remaining trainees all stared wide-eyed, astonished at the scene unfolding in the display.
Especially the Vampire, who had long covered her mouth, eyes wide, face completely flushed.
"Is this really a test?! Why does his challenge get so steamy!"
"Does that an when I go in later, a bunch of handso n will co tempt too? This... this is too exciting!"
The Head Examiner gazed deeply at the screen, rasping:
"Weaknesses, fears, temptations - for normal flesh-and-blood creatures, lust is an extrely difficult temptation to avoid. And don't think it's just steamy..."
"Because if you truly can't resist the temptation, you'll be drained dry and devoured alive by those illusions."
"This isn't without precedent."
The Vampire's eyes widened, her whole body trembling.
This... this terrifying?
She stared and said, "Then what would happen with handso n?"
The Head Examiner gave her a pitying look and sneered, "You don't want to know the answer."
The Vampire dazedly swallowed, then vigorously shook her head, discarding all the strange images from her mind.
She opened her mouth and said, "But... the temptation in the display doesn't seem that intense. Soone with even slight willpower should pass easily, right?"
After all, they knew this was a test.
Being ntally alert, they definitely wouldn't relax easily.
The Head Examiner sneered, "No, this is only the beginning. Later you'll understand what truly tests you most."
...
anwhile,
in the room where Lynn was, pink mist suddenly began slowly spreading through the air.
When Lynn contacted the pink mist, he imdiately felt the desires he'd suppressed surging uncontrollably toward him.
[Ding! Your willpower -5]
[Ding! Your willpower -5]
[Ding! Your willpower -5]
Rising and falling prompts instantly sounded by his ears.
Lynn's eyes snapped open, and he imdiately saw the pink smoke swirling around him.
Aphrodisiac mist!
Now Lynn finally understood the viciousness of this test.
Because it wasn't just using the opposite sex to tempt you - it also used this despicable thod to directly interfere with you physiologically, forcibly further reducing your willpower!
And if there was physiological interference,
then what ca next would probably be...
In an instant, Lynn suddenly saw several giggling, petite figures slowly erging from the pink mist.
Bat wings.
Long demon horns and alluring tails.
Succubi!
Lynn's pupils sharply contracted.
Indeed!
That mist directly reduced your willpower physiologically, then ca the Succubi - creatures capable of charming any male species - to further attack your mind!
Truly vicious!
Dual assault on both spirit and body!
If this were an ordinary creature, they'd probably have succumbed by now!
Lynn imdiately centered his spirit, holding his breath and concentrating.
And the next mont, those several Succubi with devilish figures seductively walked to his side, very naturally snuggling up to hug him from left and right.
"Really don't want it?"
"Do you prefer young girls like , or mature won like her?"
Seductive smiles like opium poppies continuously assaulted his spirit.
And compared to the previous woman, these Succubi's voices seed to carry an irresistible magic, a kind of enchantnt that could make one utterly sink into depravity.
With just a montary lapse of concentration from Lynn,
his willpower plumted dramatically.
Succubi! Worthy of being Succubi!
These creatures were practically every male species' nightmare. They almost inherently possessed charming attributes - even just a glance, a word, an expression could directly exert strong influence on your spirit.
This...
was trouble!
...
anwhile,
outside, everyone stared dazedly at the several Succubi continuously charming Lynn within the pink mist, all feeling an indescribable sensation rising in their hearts.
The Vampire's face was flushed, and unknowingly, a faint pink glow slowly appeared on her skin.
And not just her.
The two Flesh Golems simultaneously showed similar reactions.
Even the soulfire in the two Undead's eyes flickered intensely, subtly shifting toward a pinkish hue.
Crack—
The display instantly cut off.
The surrounding trainees imdiately woke up, bodies shaking violently as they trembled:
"Just now... what happened to us?"
The Head Examiner rasped, "Those are Succubi. Their charm's effect on the spirit is indiscriminate. You all unavoidably ca under their influence just now."
