"Uh..." The Ye family member smiled somewhat awkwardly, "It's already finished."
"Ah? When?"
Everyone was clearly taken aback.
The Ye family members could only point to the entrance of the temple and say, "While you were chatting, Lord Lin, my test was to repair the temple gate."
As soon as he finished speaking, a layer of white light suddenly surged out from the Ye family disciple's body.
As the light emanated, a strange triangular symbol floated up from behind him and slowly imprinted itself on his back.
"Um?!"
Lin Chuan could clearly sense that the surrounding rock walls were beginning to overflow with energy, which was slowly merging into the bodies of the Ye family disciples beside him.
"So this is the reward for passing the test? Drawing in the energy of heaven and earth to increase soul power. Since it's similar to self-meditation, only faster, there are no side effects. It's really good!"
Lin Chuan muttered to himself, having roughly figured out the details of the reward.
I was initially worried about the source of the power, but now it seems perfectly acceptable.
The white light lasted for a full half-incense stick's time before gradually disappearing. The Ye family disciple's face lit up with surprise, "My soul power has increased by one level!"
Upon hearing this, Dugu Yan and Zhu Zhuqing's eyes lit up.
If even the worst white-level assessment can increase one level of soul power, wouldn't the benefits from the higher purple-level assessment and the Nine Trials of the Earth God be even greater?
However, Lin Chuan shook his head and said softly, "To be precise, you should have only increased your soul power by half a level."
"It seems so, but it's not bad either, at least it saves me several months of hard training."
The Ye family disciple in front of him smiled, then looked disappointed.
Unfortunately, he only passed the first level of the White Rank test, meaning he could only undergo the test once and would not be able to receive any more test rewards afterward.
Lin Chuan could see what the other person was thinking, but he didn't intend to offer any words of comfort.
Sometimes, life is just like that, uneven.
"Alright, now that your test is complete, let's leave!"
After a brief farewell, the three walked out of the temple and disappeared into the distance, watched by Dugu Yan and Zhu Zhuqing.
Then, after another flash of white light, Lin Chuan and the others disappeared into the underground palace.
Dugu Yan then withdrew her gaze, turned to look at Zhu Zhuqing beside her, and smiled sweetly, "I originally thought I would be the only one left to participate in the Divine Examination, but I didn't expect you to be with me. But it's good this way, at least I have someone to talk to, so I won't be too lonely."
At this point, Dugu Yan extended her hand.
"Let's get to know each other formally, Dugu Yan. From now on, we'll be friends."
"Zhu Zhuqing!" Faced with the goodwill expressed by Dugu Yan, Zhu Zhuqing immediately reached out and shook hands with her.
“Then I’ll call you Zhuqing, and you can call me Yanzi,” Dugu Yan said, her eyes crinkling into a smile that was even sweeter. “Let’s go, Zhuqing. Our first test is the same for both of us. Let’s go see what the Chaotic Stone Forest is all about!”
Zhu Zhuqing remained silent, letting Dugu Yan hold her hand.
……
A flash of white light, and Lin Chuan and his two companions reappeared in the Abyss Stone Forest.
"Lord Lin, how do we get up there now?"
Without Dugu Yan, there's no way to leave the abyss as before.
“This is easy,” Lin Chuan stepped to one of the stone pillars, placed his hand on it, and tried to inject soul power into it.
The next moment, the stone pillar suddenly lit up.
A light shone from the ground beneath their feet again, and a brown halo suddenly appeared. The three of them felt their bodies lighten, and they slowly lifted off the ground, flying upwards at an extremely fast speed.
This is the gravitational field left in the stone forest, which can be activated once you qualify for the test.
An hour later, the group returned to the mountains and forests.
Looking back at the abyss behind him, Lin Chuan said softly, "Lingling, let's go!"
"Ok!"
Ye Lingling nodded gently and took Lin Chuan's hand.
They quickly exited the mountains by following the same route they had come from, boarded the carriage left at the foot of the mountains, and sped off towards the outside of the mountains.
"Lord Lin, where do we go next?"
Lin Chuan didn't rush to respond, but instead looked at Ye Lingling beside him, "Lingling, where is your assessment location?"
The girl spoke softly, "I'm not sure of the exact location, but the directions we were given kept changing during our journey, so my initial assessment is that it might be in the Star Dou Great Forest."
"Star Dou Great Forest?!"
Lin Chuan was immediately startled.
No way? !
The Goddess of Life's assessment site was actually in the Star Dou Great Forest, and in Lin Chuan's memory, there was only one place that fit the assessment site, which was the Lake of Life in the Star Dou Great Forest!
'Could it really be in that place?'
Lin Chuan's expression immediately darkened, and his eyes flickered slightly.
The Lake of Life is located deep within the Star Dou Great Forest, in the territory of many ferocious beasts. To make matters worse, the Silver Dragon King is currently healing there. If the Goddess of Life's assessment site is indeed near the Lake of Life, then things are really going to be very difficult.
Despite being severely injured, the Silver Dragon King's strength is still far superior to that of a Peerless Douluo, and he can still maintain his god-level status.
Even if you ignore it, those few ferocious beasts alone would be difficult to deal with.
Thinking about this, Lin Chuan's mood became increasingly unpleasant.
Ye Lingling keenly noticed this and asked softly, "Brother Chuan, are you alright?"
Lin Chuan snapped out of his daze, forced a smile, and shook his head gently, "It's alright, let's set off for the Star Dou Great Forest now!"
He took a deep breath and told the Ye family disciple who was driving the destination.
Now we can only take it one step at a time!
Chapter 147 Tang San: Where is my mom?
Heavenly Dou Empire, Haotian Sect.
After more than a month of recuperation, Tang San finally recovered.
However, his hands and feet were still not fully healed; even when he was wearing clothes, his right sleeve and right trouser leg remained empty.
The only good news is that during this time, he has mastered the use of the cane and can even use it to perform the Ghostly Shadow Steps, without his disability significantly affecting his speed.
Tang San slowly extended his left hand, and the Clear Sky Hammer appeared out of thin air.
Unlike ordinary Haotian Hammers, the Haotian Hammer in his hand had a large hole on its head, with dense cracks covering the area around the hole, as if it would shatter completely at any moment.
Upon seeing this, Tang San's eyes darkened considerably.
"Damn it, just like my uncle said, a martial spirit cannot repair itself after it is damaged, so is my Clear Sky Hammer useless now?"
Even though he already knew this, Tang San was still unwilling to give up.
Having witnessed the true use of the Clear Sky Hammer in Spirit City, he realized the power of a top-tier spirit. At the same time, he couldn't help but feel a pang of regret, wondering if his initial choice to cultivate the Blue Silver Grass first was the right one.
Unfortunately, it's too late to say anything now.
Now that the Clear Sky Hammer is damaged, even Tang San himself has suffered a backlash. His injuries have healed, but his spirit has been left with a huge problem.
He could clearly sense that the Haotian Hammer had lost its former sharpness.
Tang San took a deep breath, clasped his left hand together, and the Clear Sky Hammer transformed into dark light and surged back into his body.
"I wonder if the teacher has any way to repair my Clear Sky Hammer."
There aren't many records about spirit repair within the Clear Sky Sect, so Tang San can only place his hopes on his teacher, who is known as 'Grandmaster'.
In any case, we absolutely cannot give up the Haotian Hammer so easily.
"Damn Lin Chuan! If it weren't for him, I wouldn't be in this state today. I will make him pay for this once I recover from my injuries. And I won't let his friends get away with it either!"
Tang San's face revealed a sinister expression.
His hatred for Lin Chuan had completely unleashed the ferocity in his bones.
The members of the Tang Clan are known for repaying kindness and avenging wrongs; once they take action, they aim to eliminate any threat completely!
Just as Tang San was lost in his fantasies, footsteps suddenly came from outside the door.
Just as Tang San composed himself, the door was suddenly pushed open.
"Mistress, you're already up."
"Uncle!"
Tang San looked on with respect.
Over the past month, Tang Xiao had treated him very well, protecting him in every way, which made him genuinely consider him family.
