"Let me try!" Lin Xue quickly took out a broken talisman from her bosom and began to draw complex runes in the water according to her memory. Su Ye resisted the chains with all his strength, silently saying in his heart: "I must succeed!"

After several minutes of hard work, Lin Xue finally finished drawing the talisman. He whispered the spell, and the surrounding water grass chains glowed instantly, then broke one after another, allowing the two to break free.

"Hurry, now is the time!" Su Ye shouted, pulling Lin Xue to swim towards the lake. Just as they were about to approach the shore, a roar came from behind, and the man in black caught up again.

"Don't let them escape!" The leader roared, and rushed towards them with the others. Su Ye and Lin Xue tried their best, holding the gem in their hands, a fearless power ignited in their hearts, and they struggled forward.

Suddenly, the water surface on the shore surged again, and several black shadows jumped out of the water. They were the soul incarnations of the previously defeated beasts, roaring and attacking the man in black.

"What's going on?" Lin Xue asked in surprise. The scene before her shocked her greatly.

"It seems that the power of the beast has not disappeared, it is protecting us!" Su Ye felt a glimmer of hope and said to himself, "We must take advantage of this opportunity!"

In the battle between the soul of the beast and the man in black, Su Ye and Lin Xue quickly swam to the shore and finally escaped successfully. However, as soon as they got ashore, they found that the road ahead was blocked by a group of men in black, with greed in their eyes.

"You guys are really persistent!" The black-clad leader sneered, holding a sharp dagger in his hand and pointing it directly at them. "Hand over the treasure, and I can give you a quick death!"

"Never!" Su Ye roared, a fearless power burning in his heart. He knew that only by fighting could he win a chance to survive.

"Then don't blame us!" The men in black shouted in unison and pounced on the two of them in an instant.

At this moment, a mysterious little girl suddenly appeared behind Su Ye and Lin Xue. She was wearing a white dress and had an innocent smile on her face, as if she had no idea what danger was.

"What are you doing?" The little girl's voice was as clear as a bell, stunning everyone.

"Go away!" Su Ye's heart tightened and he shouted quickly, but the little girl seemed not to hear him and walked towards the men in black.

"You can't bully them!" The little girl frowned slightly, with a determined look in her eyes. She stretched out her little hand and pointed at the men in black. In an instant, a beam of light flashed out and headed straight for those men in black.

“What kind of power is this?” The men in black retreated in horror, but the light came rushing in like a torrent, drowning them in an instant.

"Come on, follow me!" The little girl turned around and waved at Su Ye and Lin Xue, with encouragement in her eyes.

"Should we... believe her?" Lin Xue asked hesitantly, her heart still filled with uneasiness.

"There is no other choice, follow her!" Su Ye said firmly, holding the gem in his hand tightly, thinking in his heart: "No matter what, we can't give up!"

Under the guidance of the little girl, Su Ye and Lin Xue quickly passed through the encirclement of the black-clad people and ran towards a hidden path. The little girl's figure flashed like light, leading them to escape all the way until they finally walked out of the dangerous area safely.

"Thank you, thank you so much!" Su Ye panted, his heart full of gratitude.

The little girl smiled slightly, with an innocent glow in her eyes: "You have to be careful, the men in black will continue to chase us. This world is not safe."

"Who are you?" Lin Xue asked curiously, full of doubts about this mysterious little girl.

"My name is Xiaoyue, and I am the soul that protects this lake." The little girl's voice was as clear and bright as a spring. "The treasure you have obtained is the source of my power. Only a true warrior can use it."

"We...what should we do?" Su Ye asked, thinking to himself: "Should we continue fighting?"

"You need to find your true strength. Only in this way can you protect yourself." Xiaoyue said seriously, with wisdom shining in her eyes. "Follow me, I will take you to a safe place."

Su Ye and Lin Xue looked at each other, a glimmer of hope ignited in their hearts, and then they followed Xiaoyue forward.

Xiaoyue led Su Ye and Lin Xue through the lush forest. The sun shone through the leaves, casting mottled shadows, as if paving a bright road for their adventure. After a period of trekking, they finally came to a hidden valley with gurgling water and surrounded by towering mountains, like a paradise.

"This is the place where the water god passed down his legacy." Xiaoyue said with a smile, pointing to the clear lake water. "Here, you can draw strength, but first you need to accept the test."

"A test?" Lin Xue frowned, feeling slightly uneasy. "Can we do it?"

"As long as you have the courage in your heart, you will definitely pass it." Xiaoyue encouraged, with a determined light in her eyes. "The test is divided into eight levels, and each level will test your wisdom, courage and faith."

Su Ye took a deep breath and thought to himself: "No matter how difficult it is, we must persevere!" He gripped the sword tightly in his hand, his eyes firm.

"The first level is a test of courage." Xiaoyue said softly. As her voice fell, the surface of the lake suddenly rippled, and a huge stone gate with complex runes carved on it emerged on the water.

"After entering the stone gate, you will face the deepest fear in your heart." Xiaoyue continued to explain, "Only by overcoming fear can you pass this level."

"We're ready!" Su Ye responded loudly, holding Lin Xue's hand, and the two walked towards the stone door together. The door slowly opened, and thick darkness surged in like a tide, and Su Ye and Lin Xue's hearts couldn't help but tighten.

As soon as he entered, the surrounding scene changed instantly. A low roar came from the darkness, and it seemed that countless monsters were approaching. Su Ye's heart was beating wildly. The scene of being chased by the man in black emerged in his mind, and fear surged like a tide.

"Su Ye, don't be afraid!" Lin Xue encouraged from the side. Although her voice was weak, it was firm and powerful.

"I know!" Su Ye tried to calm himself down, silently saying in his heart: "I must not be defeated by fear!" He gripped the hilt of the sword tightly, walked towards the depths of darkness, and faced the invisible fear head-on.

As they move forward, the darkness around them gradually dissipates, replaced by a quiet forest. However, countless phantoms lurk among the trees, and among the phantoms are the things they once feared the most: loss, despair, and loneliness.

"This is... our past." Lin Xue whispered, with a hint of sadness in her eyes.

"It doesn't matter, we have to face it!" Su Ye said firmly, with courage in his heart. He stretched out his hand and tried to touch the phantoms, but they dissipated like smoke.

"We can't escape!" Su Ye shouted loudly, and walked towards Lin Xue firmly. The two held hands tightly, and the warmth from each other made their hearts no longer lonely. With their joint efforts, the phantoms gradually dissipated, the darkness was finally dispelled, the stone door slowly opened, and the two successfully passed the first level.

"You did a great job!" Xiaoyue's voice sounded in her ears, with a hint of praise. "Next is the second level, the test of wisdom."

Su Ye and Lin Xue walked out of the stone gate, and a vast desert appeared in front of them. In the center of the desert stood a towering pyramid. The entrance of the pyramid was blocked by a ray of light, and they could only enter after solving the puzzle.

"This is a puzzle," Xiaoyue explained, "You need to find the answer to pass."

"How do we solve it?" Lin Xue asked, with confusion in her eyes.

"Observe everything around you carefully, maybe there will be clues." Xiaoyue encouraged.

Su Ye and Lin Xue began to look for clues in the desert. The sand around them shone with golden light in the sun, as if telling something. After some searching, they found four reliefs around the pyramid, each of which was engraved with an ancient symbol.

"These symbols represent different elements, water, fire, wind, and earth." Su Ye said, and his thoughts gradually became clear. They needed to find the symbols related to the water god.

"The water symbol is here!" Lin Xue pointed excitedly at one of the reliefs. The symbol was shaped like a wave.

"Then let's try this!" Su Ye pressed the water symbol hard, and instantly the pyramid flashed and the entrance slowly opened.

"That's great!" Lin Xue cheered. The two smiled at each other, feeling a sense of accomplishment in their hearts.

"The third level is the test of faith." Xiaoyue's voice was heard again. The two of them walked into the pyramid. The interior was filled with intricate passages and low echoes echoed all around, as if testing their faith.

"We must find the exit!" Su Ye said, thinking to himself: "We must not get lost here!"

However, as they went deeper, the passage began to twist and the walls around them kept changing, as if mocking their ignorance. Su Ye and Lin Xue could not help but waver in their hearts.

"Can we really find the exit?" Lin Xue's voice trembled slightly, and a hint of uneasiness flashed in her eyes.

"Believe in yourself, we will definitely find it!" Su Ye said firmly, silently saying in his heart: "I must not give up!"

After countless attempts and failures, they finally found the end of the passage, but in front of them was a huge stone door with the word "Faith" engraved on it.

"This is the final test." Xiaoyue's voice rang in her ears, "Only by trusting each other can we open this door."

"We can definitely do it!" Su Ye and Lin Xue looked at each other, and a belief ignited in their hearts. They held each other's hands tightly and silently said in their hearts: "No matter how difficult it is, we will not give up!"

As their faith converged, the stone door slowly opened and the two successfully passed the third level.

The next tests were: strength test, endurance test, agility test, team test and the final test of the heart. Each level was full of challenges, but Su Ye and Lin Xue always worked hand in hand, encouraged each other, and finally passed them successfully.

In the test of strength, they faced a huge stone statue and had to use all their strength to push it down; in the test of endurance, they ran under the scorching sun until their physical strength was exhausted; in the test of agility, they needed to dodge flying arrows and demonstrate extraordinary reaction speed; in the test of teamwork, they had to work together to complete a complex task in order to open the door to the next level.

Finally, after going through countless hardships, they arrived at the last level, the test of the mind.

The test at this level was the most difficult. The surrounding environment changed instantly. Su Ye and Lin Xue were separated in different spaces, and their respective images appeared in front of them.

"Su Ye, you have to believe me!" Lin Xue's voice echoed in his ears, but the images kept changing, as if trying to shake his beliefs.

"I will definitely find you!" Su Ye responded firmly, thinking to himself, "I will never let you down!"

After countless struggles and efforts, Su Ye finally found the way to Lin Xue. The two hugged each other tightly, and their mutual beliefs made their hearts closely connected again.

"You did a great job!" Xiaoyue's voice rang out again, and along with the light, the two successfully passed all the tests.

"You have obtained the inheritance of the Water God, and the power will be with you." Xiaoyue said with a smile, with pride shining in her eyes.

Su Ye and Lin Xue looked at each other, their hearts filled with joy and gratitude. They knew that the road ahead would still be full of challenges, but as long as they had faith in each other, they would be able to overcome all difficulties.

"Thank you, Xiaoyue!" Su Ye said gratefully, thinking to himself: "We will cherish this power!"

Xiaoyue smiled slightly, turned into a wisp of breeze, and disappeared into the valley.

Su Ye and Lin Xue walked out of the pyramid, the sun shining on them, warm and bright. Their hearts were filled with a sense of accomplishment, but Su Ye felt that his injuries had not yet fully recovered. After a series of tests, his body had been trained, but the unexpected heavy blow in the test of strength still made him feel a dull pain.

"We need to find a safe place for you to rest." Lin Xue said with concern, her eyes full of worry.

"It's okay, I can hold on." Su Ye smiled slightly, trying his best to appear strong, but he knew in his heart that if he didn't recover quickly, future challenges would be even more difficult.

Under Xiaoyue's guidance, they headed towards the direction of the Monster Mountain Range. According to legend, there was a magical herb called Tianxian Shencao hidden there, which could heal all kinds of injuries and even improve cultivation. The two walked all the way, passing through dense forests and gurgling streams, and finally arrived at the edge of the Monster Mountain Range.

The mountains were towering into the clouds, majestic and imposing, but once you entered the mountains, the environment became dangerous. The trees around were twisted, the rocks were steep, and from time to time you could hear the roars of wild beasts. Su Ye couldn't help but get nervous and stay alert at all times.

"We have to be careful, there are many dangers hidden in the Monster Mountain Range." Lin Xue warned.

"I know. We try to avoid those dangerous places." Su Ye nodded, trying to control the fatigue caused by his injuries. (End of this chapter)
