Chapter 111 Bravely Fighting the Black-Hearted Senior Brother
"Ren Xiaoyao, stop right there!" A furious roar came from far away. It was the black-hearted senior brother whose conspiracy had been exposed. Not only did he show no remorse, but he also gathered several other trial-takers who also harbored jealousy towards Ren Xiaoyao and blocked their way.
"What? You want to use the same trick again?" Ren Xiaoyao stopped and glanced at everyone with a cold look.
"Stop talking nonsense! You just rely on your cleverness, but you really think you are invincible?" A burly trial-taker shouted. He had long been dissatisfied with Ren Xiaoyao's success in the trial.
"That's right, today we'll let you see how powerful we are!" Others echoed, rubbing their hands and eager to try.
A melee erupted. Though alone, Ren Xiaoyao remained undaunted by the siege. His agility and skillful moves parried the attacks one by one. However, two fists were no match for four hands, and after a prolonged battle, Ren Xiaoyao gradually lost strength. A careless move allowed the Blackhearted Senior Brother to exploit his weakness and kick him down the hillside.
"Hahahaha... Ren Xiaoyao, just wait to be smashed to pieces!" Senior Brother Heixin stood on the hillside, laughing triumphantly.
At the foot of the hillside lay a dense jungle, blocking out the sun. Ren Xiaoyao tumbled down the hillside, his vision blacking out, and he lost consciousness. It wasn't until some time had passed that he slowly regained consciousness, only to find himself unable to move and in excruciating pain all over his body, clearly seriously injured.
"Brother Xiaoyao, how are you?" An anxious voice came. Ren Xiaoyao tried hard to open his eyes, only to see Xia Lin looking at him with a worried look on her face.
"Xia Lin, why are you here?" Ren Xiaoyao struggled to get up, but it pulled on his wound, causing him to gasp in pain.
"Don't move!" Xia Lin quickly held him down. "I saw you fall, so I hurried down to find you. Fortunately, you are okay, otherwise..." When she said this, her voice was a little choked.
Xia Lin carefully examined Ren Xiaoyao's injuries and found that he had multiple fractures and some internal injuries. She took out the pills and medicine she carried with her and treated Ren Xiaoyao's wounds.
"Brother Xiaoyao, who beat you like this?" Xia Lin asked as she applied medicine to him, with a hint of anger in her tone.
Ren Xiaoyao told Xia Lin what had happened. "I didn't expect them to be so despicable as to team up against you." Xia Lin said angrily, "Don't worry, I will definitely seek justice for you!"
"No need," Ren Xiaoyao shook his head, "I was careless this time, I can handle it myself."
Xia Lin knew Ren Xiaoyao's character and didn't force him. She focused on healing Ren Xiaoyao. "Brother Xiaoyao, you should rest well first. I'll go find you something to eat."
After saying that, Charlene stood up and prepared to leave.
"Wait," Ren Xiaoyao suddenly stopped her, "Don't tell anyone about this matter..."
He paused, his eyes deep, "I don't want to cause unnecessary trouble."
Although Xia Lin was worried, she also understood Ren Xiaoyao's concerns. She nodded and assured him, "Don't worry, I won't tell anyone."
Under Xia Lin's care, Ren Xiaoyao's injuries gradually recovered. However, this accident made him realize that in this world where the strong are respected, only by constantly improving one's own strength can one truly be invincible.
The news still spread, and Fairy Lingxiao was furious after learning of Ren Xiaoyao's experience. She despised the despicable behavior of those trialists. Regardless of her status, she personally visited Ren Xiaoyao and brought some precious elixirs.
"Junior Brother Xiaoyao, just focus on recovering from your injuries. I will make those people pay the price!" Fairy Lingxiao's beautiful eyes were filled with murderous intent and her tone was ice-cold.
Ren Xiaoyao was grateful, but he also knew that revenge would never end. He declined Fairy Lingxiao's kindness, "Fairy, don't worry about me. I know what to do."
Seeing his resolute attitude, Fairy Lingxiao stopped talking and took out an ancient book from her bosom. "This 'Liuyun Sword Technique' is the secret manual of my immortal sect. You are very talented and I believe you will master it quickly."
Ren Xiaoyao did not refuse. He solemnly took the secret book and bowed deeply to Fairy Lingxiao, "Thank you, Fairy."
After Fairy Lingxiao left, Ren Xiaoyao devoted himself to practicing the Flowing Cloud Sword Technique. This sword technique, with its exquisite and unpredictable moves, proved quite challenging to master. But Ren Xiaoyao remained resolute, practicing over and over again, never slacking off even when sweat drenched in sweat.
Zi Yang Zhenren also heard about Ren Xiaoyao's story. He specially called him to his side and taught him an ancient immortal method - "Nine Transformations of the Golden Body". This immortal method is extremely difficult to practice, but once mastered, it can make one invulnerable to swords and spears, as well as water and fire.
"Xiaoyao, this immortal technique is profound and extensive, and the practice process must be extremely difficult. You must be mentally prepared." Master Zi Yang's face was serious and his tone was solemn.
Ren Xiaoyao took a deep breath, his eyes firm, "Master, don't worry, I will do my best to live up to your expectations."
Thus, Ren Xiaoyao began his ever more arduous training. Besides practicing the Flowing Cloud Sword Technique daily, he also spent considerable time comprehending the Nine Transformations of the Golden Body. The process was tedious and filled with pain, but Ren Xiaoyao persevered. He knew that only through enduring trials unbearable for ordinary people could one finally emerge from the cocoon and become a butterfly.
That day, Ren Xiaoyao was practicing the Nine Transformations Golden Body Technique when he suddenly felt a strong energy wave coming from afar. With a thought, he immediately stood up and walked towards the direction of the energy wave.
"It seems that the trial is about to begin..." An old voice came from behind. Ren Xiaoyao turned around and saw Taoist Qingfeng standing not far away, looking at him deeply...
"Master." Ren Xiaoyao bowed respectfully.
Taoist Qingfeng stroked his beard and said slowly, "This trial is extraordinary. It not only tests your individual strength, but also your teamwork. I've seen your face and I know that in this trial, you will face unprecedented challenges, but you will also gain tremendous opportunities."
Ren Xiaoyao's heart moved. He knew that Taoist Qingfeng had great magical powers, so he asked frankly, "I would like to ask Taoist for guidance."
Taoist Qingfeng smiled slightly and handed him a jade slip. "This contains some secrets of trials over the years. Take it and study it carefully. It may help you."
Ren Xiaoyao took the jade slip and solemnly thanked Taoist Qingfeng. He returned to his residence and eagerly immersed his spiritual sense in the slip, carefully studying it. The contents of the slip were truly extraordinary. Not only did it describe the trial's content and rules in detail, but it also recorded the lessons learned by previous masters, as well as techniques for dealing with various emergencies.
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, the day of trial finally arrives. Ren Xiaoyao and other trial participants are teleported to a mysterious space.
"This trial is about protecting the divine beasts!" A majestic voice echoed through the space. "You will be divided into several groups, each responsible for protecting a divine beast cub. The team with the most surviving divine beast cubs within the specified time will win."
As soon as he finished speaking, the participants were randomly divided into several groups. Ren Xiaoyao's group consisted of five people: Xia Lin, Fairy Lingxiao, and two other unfamiliar participants.
"It seems we need to work together." Ren Xiaoyao looked around and said in a deep voice.
"Of course." Fairy Lingxiao nodded, with a determined light flashing in her beautiful eyes.
The trial officially began, and all kinds of ferocious monsters emerged like a tide, frantically attacking the young mythical beasts guarded by the trial participants. Ren Xiaoyao, relying on his extraordinary strength and the knowledge he learned from the jade slips, led the team members to resolve crises time and time again.
During a fight against a monster attack, two strangers tried to flee out of fear. In that critical moment, Ren Xiaoyao stepped forward and, with just one sword, blocked the attacks of dozens of monsters, buying precious time for the other members to escape.
"You go first, I'll cover your retreat!" Ren Xiaoyao's voice was particularly clear on the chaotic battlefield.
In the end, under the leadership of Ren Xiaoyao, their team successfully protected the cub of the divine beast and won the admiration of other trial-takers.
"Brother Ren, you are so amazing!"
"Yeah, if it weren't for you, we would have already..."
Facing the praise from everyone, Ren Xiaoyao simply smiled faintly. He knew that the real challenge had just begun...
"Ren Xiaoyao, you're lucky this time! Next time, you won't be so lucky!" The voice of the Blackhearted Senior Brother came from a distance, his tone filled with resentment and murderous intent. The Blackhearted Senior Brother's cold gaze followed Ren Xiaoyao until his back disappeared into the crowd. Only then did he retract his gaze, and a sinister arc appeared at the corner of his mouth. "Ren Xiaoyao, you took away everything that belonged to me. I will never let you go!"
After returning to his residence, Senior Brother Hei Xin gathered several of his confidants and plotted their next plan.
"Brother, are we just going to let it go like this? That brat Ren Xiaoyao is too arrogant!"
"Don't worry, I have my own way to deal with him. This trial is just the beginning, the real test is still to come. As long as we..." Senior Brother Heixin approached the crowd and whispered in a low voice, and his sinister plan gradually surfaced.
Over the next few days, Ren Xiaoyao clearly sensed a shift in the atmosphere around him. Some of the trialists who had previously been on good terms with him began to distance themselves from him, intentionally or unintentionally, even gossiping about him behind his back. Meanwhile, his Black-Hearted Senior Brother became even more active, trying to win over others and build his own faction.
Xia Lin also noticed something was amiss. She found Ren Xiaoyao and told him her concerns. "Brother Xiaoyao, I think the black-hearted senior brother must be plotting something in secret. You must be careful!"
Ren Xiaoyao nodded, a cold glint in his eyes. "Don't worry, I won't let him succeed."
He knew that in this world where the strong prey on the weak, the only way to remain invincible was to constantly improve his own strength. Therefore, he practiced even harder, comprehending the techniques and improving his cultivation. At the same time, he also secretly monitored the movements of his Black-hearted Senior Brother, trying to find his weaknesses.
Finally, the final trial arrived.
This trial takes place in an ancient secret realm, said to harbor powerful ancient beasts and lurking dangers. The challenge involves searching for a treasure in the secret realm; whoever finds it first will claim victory.
"Ren Xiaoyao, let's see how you can fight me this time!" Senior Brother Heixin's eyes flashed with vicious light, and he rushed into the secret realm first.
Ren Xiaoyao followed closely behind and also entered the secret realm.
In the secret realm, thick fog filled the air, and gusts of cold wind were eerie. Ren Xiaoyao explored cautiously, observing his surroundings vigilantly.
Suddenly, a sinister laugh came from behind, "Hey, Ren Xiaoyao, you're finally alone!"
Ren Xiaoyao turned around suddenly and saw that his Black-hearted Senior Brother and several of his confidants, holding sharp blades, surrounded him.
"Senior Brother Heixin, what do you want to do?" Ren Xiaoyao asked in a deep voice, holding the sword tightly in his hand.
"What for? Of course I'm sending you to death!" Black-hearted Senior Brother laughed sinisterly, "Kill you!"
A fierce battle is about to break out...
The sharp blade in Senior Brother Heixin's hand flashed with a dark light and pointed directly at Ren Xiaoyao's throat.
