A cart is on its way to the Holy Empire with some young men chatting aboard.

In the cart were the boy with the sword, the chubby boy with the axe, and the figure in black with a hidden face.

Breaking the silence, the chubby boy introduced himself, saying, "I'm Mirak. Who are you guys?"

"I'm Leon," the boy with the sword replied.

Both of them shifted their gaze towards the figure in black, waiting for his response.

"I'm Alexa..... I'm Alex, " the figure in black said.

Both Mirak and Leon speculated silently, "Alexa... hmm, so she's a girl traveling alone, that's why she's disguised in black and acting like a boy."

Both of them smirked inwardly, thinking, "How foolish."

"Since we're heading to the Holy Empire, it means both of you are also participating in the warrior selection," Mirak said.

The other two nodded in agreement.

Two days later, they arrived at the bustling Holy Empire, crowded with people from across the continent for the warrior selection.

The three of them hurried to the testing area as they arrived just in time.

They saw a giant bell.

Next moment the ten-meter-tall giant bell rang out with a single strike.

tingg tingg.

" Frank passed "

To pass the first test, you must strike the bell and make it ring.

Out of thousands, only a hundred people managed to pass.

Now only three people left. Mirak, Leon, Alex.

Mirak went first, took a deep breath, and then delivered a powerful punch to the bell, causing it to ring seven times.

" Mirak passed "

Leon swung his sword without unsheathing it and successfully passed the test.

Alex stood before the bell, his stance steady and focused. With a swift movement, he launched his fist towards the bell, channeling all his strength and energy into the punch. Despite the short distance, the impact was powerful, causing the bell to resonate with a deep, resonant tone that reverberated throughout the testing area. As the sound echoed in the air, it was clear that Alex had passed the test with his remarkable display of strength and precision.

As the bell rang out from Alex's punch, the spectators were stunned, their eyes widening in disbelief. They exchanged astonished glances, murmuring among themselves, perplexed by the seemingly impossible feat they had just witnessed from the mysterious person in black.Some shook their heads in disbelief, while others whispered in awe, unable to comprehend how such power could be unleashed from such a short distance. Alex's demonstration of strength left the crowd speechless, their respect for his martial prowess growing with each resonating peal of the bell. The fact that Alex achieved such impact from such a remarkably short distance only added to the mystique of his feat.

After Alex's impressive display of strength, the testing officials approached him, their expressions a mixture of astonishment and admiration. They congratulated him on his remarkable performance and swiftly ushered him to the side, where they marked his name as one of the few to pass the first test.

Meanwhile, the crowd continued to buzz with excitement and speculation, eager to see what other feats of skill and prowess would be demonstrated in the remaining tests. As Alex joined Mirak and Leon, the trio exchanged knowing smiles, their confidence buoyed by their successful passage of the first trial. With determination in their hearts, they awaited the challenges that lay ahead, ready to prove themselves worthy of the title of warrior in the esteemed Holy Empire.
