Alliance: Start Suona, send away the stupid sister Zhou

As the stone cracked, the aggressive lizards seemed to have lost their target, stopped attacking, and began to fight each other. Taking this opportunity, the three of them showed their skills and quickly cleared out the remaining enemies.

When the last lizard fell, the whole space fell into a dead silence. Only the heavy breathing of the three people echoed in this huge basement. "That was a close call..." Lily wiped the sweat from her forehead, a trace of fatigue on her face.

Lin Feng walked to the stone fragments and observed them carefully. He found that they were covered with strange runes and some flowing green liquid could be vaguely seen. "This is the core of some kind of control array. Someone has set up an ambush here." He analyzed thoughtfully.

At this moment, the deep voice from before sounded again: "I didn't expect you to be able to see through my trap, not bad."

The voice came from a dark corner, and then a figure wearing a black cloak and a strange mask slowly walked out. "Who are you? Why are you doing this?" Lin Feng questioned, holding the staff tightly in his hand, ready to fight at any time.

The other party did not answer directly, but laughed loudly, the laughter was full of malice and arrogance. "It doesn't matter who I am. What matters is that you are about to pay the price of your life for invading here. This ancient secret does not belong to you."

Hearing this, Lily retorted angrily: "Who are you to decide all this? Do you think you can stop us?"

The cloaked man smiled coldly, "Then let me teach you a lesson and let you know what real horror feels like!" As soon as he finished speaking, his figure disappeared in an instant, and then the whole hall fell into even deeper darkness.

Suddenly, several magic circles lit up on the floor again, and an unsettling atmosphere surged from each circle. Several flashes of light and shadows appeared, and more monsters appeared, this time more ferocious: bat beasts with fangs and huge wings, huge snakes covered with scales...

Lin Feng took a deep breath, "It seems that this is another tough battle. But we must get through it, otherwise all our previous efforts will be in vain."

"That's right!" Chen Le nodded firmly and clenched the sword in his hand, "We will overcome these difficulties."

The three stood back to back, ready to face the powerful enemy. The battle was about to start, and the air was filled with tension and excitement. However, no matter what danger they faced, they were determined to uncover the secrets of this mysterious area...

"No matter what, we will fight together to the end." Lin Feng said softly.

Just as the three were preparing to fight a new round of monsters, a dazzling light suddenly flashed from a corner of the hall. The three were attracted by the sudden light and turned their heads to look. They saw a long sword emitting strong magical fluctuations suspended in the air, slowly rotating, as if calling them.

"This is..." Chen Le looked at the sword in surprise, feeling an inexplicable attraction, "It feels like it has spirituality."

Lily also stared at the sword, a trace of awe flashing in her eyes: "This sword is extraordinary. I feel a powerful will guiding us."

Lin Feng took a few steps forward and reached out to touch the sword. At the moment his fingers touched the blade, a clear but slightly vicissitudes voice suddenly sounded in his mind: "Mortals, how lucky you are to have found this ancient trial sword - 'Star'."

The three of them looked at each other, as if they were filled with shock and confusion at the voice. "You mean this sword is called 'Xingchen'? And it has consciousness?" Chen Le asked.

"That's right." The voice continued to answer, "I am the spirit in this sword, responsible for protecting its inheritance. Now that you appear here, you are destined to pass my test to prove whether you are qualified to obtain the power of this sword."

Lily's eyes sparkled with excitement. "What kind of test is this? What do we need to do?"

"Everyone must go through a test of the soul." The sword spirit said slowly, "This will be a challenge to your heart, and a test of your courage, wisdom, and determination. As long as you can overcome the shadows and obstacles in your heart, you will be recognized by the stars."

As soon as the voice fell, the surrounding space began to distort and deform, forming several small portals. Each doorway radiated a different light: one door shone with a brave golden light, another door was a deep and wise blue halo, and the last door showed a tenacious green glow.

"Each of you choose a door to enter. After passing our respective tests, we will meet again here." The sword spirit's voice gradually faded away, but its majesty still echoed in their ears.

Chen Le looked at his two companions and said firmly, "Let's work hard together! No matter what difficulties we encounter, we must face them bravely."

Lin Feng nodded and was the first to walk towards the door shining with golden light: "I hope we can become stronger in our inner world." Then he stepped in without hesitation.

Lily chose the dark blue door and said with a smile: "I will use my wisdom to find the answer!" Then she disappeared in the blue light.

Finally, Chen Le stood in front of the green door and took a deep breath: "Let me see how difficult your test is." Then he also stepped into his own challenge door...

(The camera switches to Chen Le’s psychological space)

After passing through the portal, Chen Le found himself in an endless desert. The scorching sun shone on the earth, and the air was filled with a hot breath. Just as he was confused, a figure suddenly appeared in the distance. The man walked slowly and stopped only when he walked in front of Chen Le.

When the other person took off his hat, Chen Le was stunned. It turned out that the person standing in front of him was his deceased father! "Dad...how could it be you?" He was a little at a loss.

The father smiled, and his warm smile was as reassuring as always. "You are finally here, son. This trial may be an opportunity for you to grow." After that, he pointed to an illusory foggy area in front of him, "That is the difficulty you need to overcome. Only by crossing it can you gain new strength."

Chen Le swallowed his saliva. Although his heart was filled with mixed emotions, he nodded resolutely: "Dad, don't worry, I will never let you down." Then he set out towards the fog... In another dimension, Lily found herself in a huge library, surrounded by all kinds of books, each of which looked so thick and mysterious. Just as she was trying to find clues from the many books, a melodious melody sounded in her ears -

Following the sound, she came to a secret room. Inside the secret room was a gorgeous and exquisite small piano. Next to it sat a beautiful and dignified woman - her long-passed mother. "Mom..." Seeing the face she hadn't seen for a long time, Lily's eyes suddenly became moist.

The mother looked at her tenderly, smiled and said softly: "My dear daughter, you will always encounter various difficulties in the world of knowledge. But remember, as long as you have enough patience and thinking ability, there is no problem that cannot be solved." She pointed to the rows of scrolls stacked at the end of the room, "These are the key to solving the puzzle."

Hearing this, Lily wiped away the tears from her eyes and smiled confidently: "Thank you for teaching me so many truths. Now let me prove it to you with my actual actions!" Then she buried herself in the sea of ​​books to look for the answer...

At the same time, Lin Feng was teleported to the depths of an ancient ruin that had been abandoned for a long time. The ruins of statues covered with dust and weeds were everywhere, and the air was filled with a depressing and heavy atmosphere.

At this moment, a figure wearing an ancient battle robe appeared in front of him. This person was the ancestor warrior that Lin Feng had admired for a long time. "Senior... are you also part of this assessment?" The young explorer asked excitedly.

The old man nodded, looking directly at him with his old but still bright eyes: "To inherit the true spirit of a warrior, you need not only to be physically strong, but more importantly, to have a strong and upright heart. The task you are about to complete will be a huge blow to your self-beliefs and values."

Faced with such a declaration, Lin Feng clenched his fist and made a solemn vow: "No matter how difficult and dangerous the road ahead is, I will stick to it and win the recognition of the stars with my actions!" Then he headed towards an unknown direction...

Finally, after their own arduous journey and deep reflection, the three young warriors completed their own journeys and returned to the starting point with a stronger mentality. At this time, the "Star" sword was quietly waiting there, as if it had already anticipated their return.

Chen Le was the first to walk over, stretched out his hands and grasped the legendary sword. Suddenly, a surge of energy flowed into his body, making him feel an unprecedented abundance of vitality. "Thank you for your recognition." He said gratefully to the sword spirit.

Lily then took over the power blessing that belonged to her. She closed her eyes and enjoyed the changes brought about by the strange feeling for a while. "It seems that I have learned a lot." The girl smiled slightly.

Lin Feng was the last one to come forward, and when he was also exposed to the sacred light, the entire hall was illuminated brightly. At that moment, an indescribable tacit understanding seemed to have formed between the three of them...

Just as everyone was preparing to further explore this place that hid countless secrets, the entire building suddenly began to shake. A deafening voice came from the distance: "What brave boys, you actually managed to get through the trap set by those stupid old guys? Next, I will let you know who is the master here!"

Before he finished speaking, a strong man in a dark red cloak slowly appeared in front of everyone. He was surrounded by terrifying black mist energy fluctuations, and the coldness and ruthlessness in his eyes made people shudder...

"Hmph! No matter what kind of opponent we are, we won't give up easily!" Chen Le declared proudly with his chest straightened, and the other two partners nodded in agreement at the same time.

As the vibrations of the entire building gradually subsided, the strong man in the dark red cloak approached step by step, and every step was as deafening as thunder. Chen Le, Lili and Lin Feng stood beside the Star Sword, their eyes firm and vigilant.

"Do you think that passing a few small trials is enough?" The red-robed man's voice was low and threatening. "Now, let me show you my true power!"

As he spoke, he waved his hand, and the scene in front of them changed instantly. The three people found themselves on a desolate battlefield, with corpses and broken weapons everywhere, indicating that a tragic battle had once broken out here. The sky was covered with dark clouds, lightning and thunder, and the air was filled with a suffocating smell of death.

"This is my domain," the red-robed man said coldly, "This is a battlefield formed by the souls of warriors from past generations. Only those who can face it all and find a way to survive can be recognized."

Just as everyone had no time to adapt to the environment, many ghostly warriors suddenly appeared from all directions. These ghosts, holding various weapons, launched a fierce attack on the three people. Although they did not seem to exist completely, every contact would cause great pain to the target.

"We must work together to survive this test!" Chen Le shouted loudly, and rushed forward to fight with a group of enemies approaching him.

Lily followed closely behind, closing her eyes and concentrating, then quickly opened a book in her hand - it was an ancient scroll that she had found in the library before, which contained a powerful spell. "Shine in all directions!" As the clear words fell, dazzling light descended from the sky, illuminating all the dark corners around, and forcing back the ghost warriors who were trying to besiege them.

Lin Feng was not to be outdone. He used all the martial arts he had learned in the ruins to resist the pressure from all directions. "Remember, courage is not just about moving forward, but also about overcoming the fear in your heart." The words of the ancestor warrior echoed in his mind, giving him unprecedented confidence and strength.

Just when the situation seemed to be about to be suppressed, a huge crack suddenly appeared in the ground, and a terrifying creature made up of countless souls emerged from it. It pounced towards Chen Le, who was closest to it, with its fangs and claws bared!

"Get out of the way!" Lily shouted anxiously.

However, at the critical moment of life and death, a silver-white light flashed from behind and stood between the two of them - it was the Star Sword Spirit that came to rescue them in person. "Use light as a blade to cut off all the bad luck!"

The sword spirit swung the sword across the air, leaving a brilliant trail, and directly pierced the heart of the giant. With a shrill cry, the giant monster began to fall apart until it completely disappeared.

Taking advantage of this brief moment of peace, Raymond Lam suggested: "We need to develop strategies to deal with more challenges, otherwise it will be difficult to persist in the long run just by fighting hard."

Lily agreed, "That's true. And the experience just now tells me that every obstacle hides some secrets or clues waiting for us to discover..." (End of this chapter)
