Chapter 1469 -942: Awakening (Part 3)

“We are eager to meticulously record your experiences inside the ‘Rule Dome,’ especially regarding touching the rules, the trial process, and the final rule comprehension direction.

“This is crucial for our understanding of the Rule Dome’s operating mechanism and subsequent personnel selection.”

Vane nodded and spoke first, his voice calm yet tinged with a subtle confusion:

“My experience… was quite ‘chaotic’.” He tried to describe it clearly.

“After touching that steel block, my consciousness became blurry. I felt like I turned into magma, erupting… then cooling, buried deep, excavated… then melted, forged…

“Throughout the process, I had no ‘self’ memory, as if I were an empty shell, acting only according to the most primitive instincts and the ‘memory’ of the body: mining, forging, battling…

“Only after killing the Night Watcher Warrior on the battlefield did I gradually regain some sense of ‘self-awareness’.

“It was like… like an iron embryo following the entire process of becoming steel and a weapon guided by invisible hands.”

He paused, his brows slightly furrowed:

“This feeling… is very uncomfortable. It felt as if being manipulated, shaped. Although I ultimately comprehended rule fragments related to ‘resilience’ with weapons, the process was too… passive.”

Legolas listened to Vane’s description, showing a noticeably surprised expression.

He looked at Vane, his tone inquisitive:

“Erasing memories? Acting on instinct? This… my experience was entirely different, Captain.”

“Oh?” Vane and the surrounding Record Officers perked up their ears.

“My consciousness was very clear, maintaining ‘self-awareness’ throughout.”

Legolas began to narrate in detail, his speech steady and clear, like delivering a precise tactical report.

“I chose the ‘hunting’ rule, entering a hunter’s cabin. I knew exactly who I was, and that I was undergoing a trial.

“I needed to follow the notes, tracking and hunting a Level Six Giant Beast called ‘Steel Predator’ in the forest, while my own power was suppressed to Level Three.”

He started to describe how he analyzed clues, tracked traces, avoided secondary predators, set up chain traps, used bait, modified arrows, utilized terrain, and finally, after putting in tremendous effort and adopting a nearly ‘ugly’ yet highly efficient tactical combination, successfully lured that beast far surpassing his power at the time into a death trap.

His narration was filled with a hunter’s strategy, patience, use of the environment, and absolute confidence in his skills.

“…Only when it fell off the cliff and was pierced by the stalagmites did I truly feel safe. Although the process didn’t align with my ideal of ‘glorious hunting.’

“But this was an indisputable victory of the weak defeating the strong, intelligence crushing brute force. What I comprehended was the core of the Hunting Arrow Rule regarding ‘Deadly Opportunity Capture’ and ‘Environment Hunting Art’.”

Legolas touched the ribbon on his wrist and summarized.

Vane listened, remained silent for a moment, a hint of realization and deeper contemplation flickering in his eyes.

“Passively becoming an iron embryo… actively transforming into a hunter…”

Vane muttered to himself, as if asking.

“It seems the Rule Dome’s trial is not uniform. The test it offers may naturally be closely related to the essence of the rule we choose?”

The Chief Record Officer quickly noted down, his eyes brightening as if discovering a new continent.

The sister listened quietly on the side, watching the two newly transformed Legendary figures before her with deep eyes.

The secret of the Rule Dome is gradually being unveiled with the return of the first explorers.

And the distinctly different trial paths of Vane and Legolas undoubtedly contribute to this exploration,
