Chapter 795 Teachers

"Indeed, we are no longer who we used to be." Aiden clenched his fists, a confident smile on his face. He looked into the distance, as if he had seen the dawn of victory. "Neither personal fear nor the darkness of the world can stop us from moving forward."

Leah stroked the dagger gently, and the blade gleamed with hope in the sunlight. "I used to think that speed and wit were my only weapons, but now I know that the light within me is just as sharp."

The wizard smiled, and gently raised his palm surrounded by blue light, as if he was touching the invisible truth. "The light of knowledge and wisdom will illuminate the way forward in our hearts."

There was an indescribable tacit understanding and strength in the team, as if no difficulties could separate them. At this moment, new runes appeared on the stone tablet, rotating and interweaving, and finally turned into a prophecy: "At the end of darkness, the source of light awaits its guardian. But to get there, you must first awaken the dormant ancient power."

"Ancient power?" Su Zhe frowned and thought, then his eyes lit up, "In the historical documents of our caravan, there are records about ancient relics. Maybe that is the key we need!"

"Captain, no matter where that power is hidden, we will be by your side and search for it together." Aiden patted his chest and vowed firmly.

"Then let's set off. Time is running out. Every moment of delay may plunge the world into a deeper crisis." Su Zhe waved his hand, signaling everyone to get ready.

A group of people passed through the gradually opening ancient stone gate and embarked on a journey to find the ancient power. Beyond the ruins is an unknown vast world, waiting for them are both unknown adventures and unknown dangers.

As they walked, Aiden suddenly stopped and pointed to a ruin half-covered by sand not far away. "Look over there, there is a strange energy fluctuation. Could it be related to the relic we are looking for?"

As they approached, the ruins seemed to come alive, and ancient runes jumped and flickered on the stones, releasing a faint blue light. Su Zhe took a step forward and carefully touched the runes, silently reciting the spell to awaken the ancient power.

"Crack!" With a slight sound, a crack appeared in the center of the ruins, and then a beam of dazzling light shot out from it and rushed into the sky. The light dissipated, and an ancient sword emitting a faint blue light lay quietly on the stone platform. The sword was engraved with complex patterns, which seemed to record ancient legends and power.

"This is..." Leah murmured in disbelief. She stretched out her hand to touch it, but stopped in mid-air, as if she was afraid of disturbing the sleeping ancient thing.

"We found it." Su Zhe said softly, and walked forward slowly, gently raising the ancient sword. At that moment, he seemed to merge with the sword, and his body was surrounded by a soft but strong light. He felt the will flowing in the sword, which was a determination that transcended time and space and vowed to protect the world from the invasion of darkness.

"My friends, this is our sword of hope, and it is also a sharp weapon against darkness." Su Zhe turned around, with the tip of the sword pointing to the sky. His voice was full of strength and faith. "Now, let us take this power and march towards the source of darkness and fight for light!"

Passerby A exclaimed, "Look! The light on those people is like the rebirth of the legendary warriors. Is there such pure power in this world?" Passerby B beside him said, "Yes, I have only heard of that kind of power in the ancient heroic stories told by the elders. I didn't expect to see it with my own eyes today."

While everyone was discussing, a child pulled his mother's clothes and asked curiously: "Mom, where are they going? Are they going to defeat the devil and save the princess?" The mother smiled and touched the child's head, with hope for the future in her eyes: "No, child, they are going to find something more important than defeating the devil, to protect the light and peace for all of us."

When the team left the ruins, people in the villages and towns along the way all looked at them in surprise and admiration. In front of a tavern, several adventurers sat around a table, and one of them, a bearded burly man, raised his glass and said loudly: "Have you heard that a caravan is looking for some ancient power to fight against the coming disaster. It's a miracle that someone can still do this in this day and age!" His words were both teasing and full of deep admiration.

Su Zhe and his team kept going. Wherever they went, there were always some curious passers-by approaching them, some trying to find out their stories, and some wanting to join them to fight the darkness together. But every time this happened, Su Zhe always responded with a warm and firm smile: "Each of us has our own battles, and the light in your hearts is equally important. Keep your faith, and the darkness will eventually retreat."

After a long journey, they came to a huge mountain surrounded by ancient legends. The place was shrouded in clouds and mist, as if hiding the mysteries of the world. In the small town at the foot of the mountain, the residents expressed great enthusiasm for their arrival. An elderly wise man walked out of the crowd slowly with a cane, and his old and wise voice echoed among the crowd: "You are the messengers of light, who have overcome many trials. There is an ancient power hidden in the mountains, but the road is dangerous, so you must be careful."

After the wise man's words fell, various discussions broke out in the crowd. Some people thought they were crazy for daring to challenge such a task; others had a fire of hope in their eyes, as if they saw a future where light would defeat darkness.

Before nightfall, Su Zhe and his party were ready and set out on their journey again. Before leaving, Su Zhe bowed to the wise man and said earnestly: "Thank you for your guidance. We will find that power with everyone's hope."

The wise man smiled, patted Su Zhe's shoulder gently, and whispered: "Remember, the real power lies not in the sword, not in magic, but in the heart. With light in the heart, you can do anything."

The mountain path was winding and the forests were lush. Every step was full of unknowns and challenges. Aiden laughed the loudest in the team. He pointed to the ancient stone steps that appeared in front of him and said with a smile: "Look, this must be the first threshold to our legendary road! Whoever reaches the top first will be responsible for tonight's dinner, how about that?"

"Stop it, Aiden." Leah chuckled, but her pace did not slow down. Her eyes flickered with the desire for a challenge. "If this is really decided, we will have to eat the rocks you roasted."

The wizard shook his head, flicked his fingertips surrounded by blue light, and an old map unfolded out of thin air and floated in front of him. "According to ancient records, this mountain is called 'Shadow Peak', and the peak hides a portal to ancient power. But the road is dangerous, so we must be careful."

Su Zhe walked in front, the ancient sword in his hand trembling slightly like a living thing, as if it had some kind of resonance with the surrounding nature. "Everyone concentrate, every step we take may trigger the ancient mechanism or awaken the sleeping guardian."

The mountain road became more and more precipitous. Suddenly, a strong mountain wind blew, bringing up a cloud of dust and blocking the view. When the dust settled, a huge beast covered with rocks appeared in front of us. Its eyes were as hot as lava, and its low roar seemed to shake the earth.

"Guardians of the Mountain!" The wise man's warning echoed in their ears, and the team quickly got into battle posture. The giant axe in Aiden's hand reflected the light of the torch, and it was chilling; Leah's dagger also emitted a more dazzling light, and her figure was agile; the wizard chanted a spell, and the air around him condensed into a transparent shield.

"We have no intention of offending, we are only seeking the ancient power to protect the world." Su Zhe stepped forward, holding the ancient sword horizontally, his voice calm but with a majesty that could not be ignored. The giant beast seemed to understand his words, and after glaring for a moment, the low roar turned into a deep roar, and then turned into a gust of wind and disappeared in the valley, leaving behind a series of low words echoing in the air: "Tests are the path to power. Prove your worth!"

The team continued to move forward, each step seemed to be treading on the vein of history, until they came to an ancient and majestic altar. In the center of the altar was a crystal emitting a faint glow, which seemed to have a subtle resonance with the ancient sword in Su Zhe's hand.

"It seems that this is what we are looking for." Su Zhe gently inserted the ancient sword into the groove next to the crystal. In an instant, the light became brighter, and an unprecedented energy surged, surrounding them.

"This...what is this feeling?" Aiden was shocked and found that he seemed to be able to feel every breath of the mountains, rivers and earth.

Leah was also very excited. She felt that she had a closer connection with the wind, and her speed and agility were beyond anything she had ever experienced before. "I seemed to be able to hear the voice of the wind, guiding me."

The wizard closed his eyes and thought. A rune representing wisdom appeared on his forehead. When he opened his eyes, his gaze became even deeper. "The ocean of knowledge is surging in my heart. I see more secrets and unknowns."

"This is the true ancient power. It allows us to exist with the world and gives us the ability to protect the light." Su Zhe's words are full of strength and determination.

Just as everyone was immersed in the baptism of power, the sky suddenly changed, a dark cloud covered the sky, and a harsh voice echoed in the air: "Found it, the power of light... But under this darkness, everything will return to nothingness!"

"Prepare for battle!" As soon as Su Zhe finished speaking, a huge shadow claw tore through the sky and pounced on them. The team quickly responded to the attack. Aiden's axe chopped at the claw, Leah's dagger danced with a lightning-like trajectory, the magician's elemental power roared out, and Su Zhe held the ancient sword, pointing it at the depths of the black cloud, shining like the sun to dispel the darkness.

"Even when facing the abyss of despair, we must become the light that illuminates the way ahead!" Su Zhe's oath echoed in the wind. The exclamations of passers-by and villagers seemed to come from afar, becoming the most solid backing in their hearts.

Just as the battle was getting intense, the dark clouds in the sky suddenly split apart, revealing a ray of light. A mysterious voice rang out softly: "Light and darkness are two sides of the same coin. Only by understanding the balance can we master the supreme power."

As the sound faded away, the forces of darkness seemed to retreat temporarily, leaving behind a sky full of stars and an unknown tomorrow.

In the team, Su Zhe looked at the night sky that was gradually returning to tranquility, and the ancient sword trembled gently in his hand, as if telling a new prophecy. "We still have a lot to learn and a long way to go. But as long as there is light in our hearts, there is nothing we cannot overcome."

Aiden patted him on the back and said with a hearty laugh, "That's right, Captain. No matter what kind of black cloud monster it is, we should attack it together, that's for sure!"

Leah and the wizard also nodded in agreement, their eyes showing both uncertainty about the future and fearless determination. Under the moonlight, the team embarked on a new journey, heading towards a more distant and unknown adventure.

"Hey, have you heard? Those warriors fought with a mountain guardian last night, but the monster let them go and even talked about a test!" In the blacksmith's shop in the town, the fire reflected the blacksmith's face full of disbelief, and the people around him exclaimed in amazement.

"Test? It sounds like a scene from a fairy tale." A young man said as he polished the arrow in his hand, with curiosity in his tone.

"Myth? Haha, I think our world is much more exciting than myth." The blacksmith wiped the sweat off his face, his tone full of pride, "Those guys might really be able to accomplish something."

Meanwhile, in the tavern, the topic of last night's adventure was still a hot topic. A dusty traveler pushed open the door, causing a commotion. He looked around, and his eyes finally fell on the adventurers who were talking about warriors at the table. He smiled and walked over.

"Everyone, I just came from Shadow Peak and I have some news that may be of more interest to you." The traveler lowered his voice and spoke mysteriously.

The adventurers gathered around immediately, and one of them asked impatiently, "Tell me, what's the news?"

The traveler pretended to be mysterious and took a sip of wine before slowly speaking: "It is said that behind the ancient altar, there is a door leading to another world. On the other side of the door, there is a power that can change destiny."

As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked. A female hunter with long golden braids stood up, her eyes shining with longing: "If that power is real, can we also become heroes like them?"

The traveler shrugged: "Who knows? But there is a saying that goes, 'You can't get a tiger cub without risking it.'"

During the conversation, the door of the tavern was pushed open again, and a cool breeze blew in, carrying the breath of the mountains. Everyone turned their heads involuntarily, and saw Su Zhe and his group slowly walking in. They were still surrounded by a faint light, which attracted whispers from all around.

"It's them! They're really like in the legend, carrying light!" A young girl exclaimed softly, covering her mouth with her hands, her eyes full of admiration.

Su Zhe smiled and nodded to everyone, then walked to the counter and ordered a few glasses of water and some food. While the shopkeeper was busy, he couldn't help asking: "Heroes, where are you going next? Everyone is curious."

Su Zhe looked gentle and replied, "The place we are going to may be more dangerous than Shadow Peak. But for the sake of light, we must move forward."
