There's a fifth button.

Then Alea spotted a fifth button she hadn't noticed at first. It was recessed far deeper into the hole than any of the other buttons, and aligned with her groin.

Alea groaned, realizing what this part of the obstacle measured. Only those with a cock long enough to push the fifth button would pass this part of the obstacle course.

Alea undid the button of her pants so her cock flopped out. She gave her self a few swift tugs until she reached full hardness. Then she pushed the buttons with her hands and feet and inserted her member into the hole. Whoever designed this obstacle had frighteningly high standards, for even with the recent increase in size Alea had experienced, her cock wasn't quite long enough to push the button inside the wall.

After several thrusts and focusing her zeal to increase the hardness of her cock just beyond its usual limits, Alea finally managed to hit the button. The wall instantly inverted, launching her through the air to the next portion of the obstacle course.

Unbuttoning her pants worked against Alea now. Perhaps because of ill-luck, or perhaps because of nefarious design, when Alea went flying her pants didn't come with her. She landed in a massive pool of water that cushioned her fall. She knew how to swim from some experience dipping in the creek near her village, and Alea swiftly bobbed to the surface.

She realized where she needed to go quickly enough. There were arrows pointing to the exit of the long pool. Alea started swimming in that direction, using her Resolve to enhance the speed of her kicks and the flailing of her arms.

She should have guessed that a simple swimming contest would have been too straightforward for the Throbbing Immortal Fist school though. Something long and slippery brushed against Alea's ankle. An instant later it coiled around her leg, trying to pull her deeper.

Alea flailed as she sunk below the surface. She managed to get one deep breath in before she went under, and she opened her eyes in the water, though doing so stung. She glared into the murky depths of the pool and could just barely make out a writhing mass of tentacles sitting in the water lining the whole length of the pool. One of those tendrils was the thing that wrapped around her leg and was dragging her under.

The tendril crawled up Alea's leg, and several more came to join it. Soon they were rubbing up and down the length of Alea's still-erect cock and poking at the entrance to her ass.

Alea knew what the challenge at this stage of the obstacle course was and swiftly unleashed a kick in the direction of the tentacles. When that didn't work, she doubled over and worked at the tendril binding her leg with her hands, rapidly uncoiling it.

Three tentacles was about as much as Alea could manage at once, and she swiftly untangled herself before hastily darting into the distance. She was fortunate that she wasn't attacked by more than three tentacles, otherwise she would have certainly been dragged down into the deep pool below her. The school must have decided that was the limit of what a prospective disciple should be able to handle and use some manner of magic to prevent the tentacle monster in the pool from using all its power on any one contestant.

She cleared the pool, shaking herself off. Her shirt was soaked and would slow her down, so Alea shrugged it off and tossed it aside.

The next challenge was a set of flying weapons shaped like cocks. They flew in search of any hole or open mouth they could find, and Alea nearly lost her front teeth when they went for her mouth. These creatures proved to be an easier challenge than the tentacle monster and Alea was too swift for them to catch her.

After clearing the golems, Alea caught sight of the finish line. As soon as the last flying weapon stopped pursuing her, the chamber she'd been enclosed in opened up into a wide race track.

Around the track was massive crowd of seductive betas, all naked and swooning at the sight of Alea clearing the obstacle course.

"Congratulations! You're the winner!" A beautiful beta cheered.

"Jump over the fence and enjoy your reward!" A second beta said as she stuck out her ass.

"Don't bother running any further. You've already won!" A third beta said.

Alea frowned in confusion. There was a clearly finish line ahead of her. Why were these betas trying to get her to leave before then?

The answer clicked the moment she realized there had been no such crowd waiting in front of the obstacle course earlier. This was an illusion meant to tempt away any alpha too ruled by desires of the flesh.

The temptation of the crowd of betas swiftly vanished once Alea understood their true purpose, and she turned to finish the obstacle course.

She held her arms up in victory, not even realizing she'd been stripped naked during the course of her run.

"Oh my." Jenna placed a hand over her mouth and giggled. "We couldn't see what was happening to you for most of that. That must be one... unusual trial."

"What... was... my time?" Alea panted, unconcerned with her nudity while her chance at the Throbbing Immortal Fist school was on the line.

"Eight minutes and twelve seconds." Thali said.

"Right." Alea nodded. "Let's keep going until I can get that down to three." Then Alea plunged in for a second run.
