The Ming Dynasty: The most ruthless imperial grandson, Old Zhu begged me not to kill him.

Chapter 710 will definitely achieve the goal in the end!
“Not bad,” the old man said slowly, “you have passed the first test.”

Zhu Xiong Ying breathed a long sigh of relief, his heart filled with joy. He knew this was only the first step in a long journey, but he believed that as long as he persevered and never gave up, he would eventually reach his goal!
"Next, there is a second test." The old man's voice rang out again, interrupting Zhu Xiong Ying's thoughts.

Zhu Xiong Ying quickly composed himself and respectfully asked, "Please speak, senior."

The old man smiled slightly, a hint of cunning in his smile. "The second test..." he paused, his gaze falling on Zhu Xiong Ying, "is..."

He suddenly stretched out a finger and pointed behind Zhu Xiong Ying.

"Catch that jade rabbit!"

Zhu Xiong Ying was startled and quickly turned around. He saw a snow-white jade rabbit squatting not far behind him, blinking its red eyes at him.

This... what is going on?
Zhu Xiong Ying was completely baffled. This jade rabbit looked harmless; why catch it?
Just as he was puzzled, the jade rabbit suddenly moved. It leaped up and ran towards the outside of the hall.

"Hurry and chase after them!" the old man urged.

Zhu Xiong Ying then realized what was happening and quickly chased after him.

The Jade Rabbit was incredibly fast, disappearing from the main hall in the blink of an eye. Zhu Xiong Ying gave chase, but could never catch it.

A chase ensued between a human and a rabbit outside the main hall.

……

Zhu Xiong Ying was stunned. The Jade Rabbit? Catching the Jade Rabbit? What kind of test was this? He, the mighty Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, a peerless martial artist, was now being asked to catch a rabbit like a child? This was utterly ridiculous!
Although he was resentful, he dared not disobey the old man's orders. He immediately used his lightness skill to chase after the jade rabbit.

The Jade Rabbit was incredibly fast, like a white lightning bolt, galloping across the plaza outside the main hall. Although Zhu Xiong Ying was highly skilled in martial arts, he couldn't catch up with it for a while.

A man and a rabbit chased each other across the vast square, creating a rather comical scene.

The guards around him couldn't help but chuckle at the sight. They were used to the emperor's majesty; they had never seen him in such a disheveled state.
Zhu Xiong Ying was furious, but helpless. He, the emperor, had been completely outmaneuvered by a mere rabbit. If word got out, where would he put his face?

He gritted his teeth, pushed his speed to the limit, and his figure became a blur as he relentlessly pursued the Jade Rabbit.

The Jade Rabbit seemed to sense Zhu Xiong Ying's determination, and its speed increased even further.

The man and the rabbit chased each other outside the main hall for half an hour. Zhu Xiong Ying was panting heavily and drenched in sweat, but he still couldn't catch up with the jade rabbit.

Just as he was about to give up, the Jade Rabbit suddenly stopped, squatted on the ground, tilted its head and looked at him, its red eyes full of cunning.

Zhu Xiong Ying's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that the jade rabbit was deliberately teasing him?

He cautiously approached the jade rabbit and reached out to grab it.

Suddenly, the jade rabbit leaped up and landed on his shoulder.

Zhu Xiong Ying was stunned.

The jade rabbit rubbed its fluffy head against his cheek and let out a soft cry.

A strange feeling suddenly arose in Zhu Xiong Ying's heart. This jade rabbit didn't seem to have any ill intentions.

He reached out and gently stroked the jade rabbit's soft fur.

The jade rabbit comfortably squinted its eyes.

"Congratulations, you have passed the second test." The old man's voice suddenly rang out.

Zhu Xiong Ying then realized that the second test was not about catching the jade rabbit, but about sensing its spirituality.

He couldn't help but feel a little ashamed. He had always prioritized force, but he had overlooked the fact that all things in the world have a spirit.

“Senior, I understand,” Zhu Xiong Ying said respectfully.

The old man nodded and said, "The third test will take place inside this Qiankun Cauldron."

Zhu Xiong Ying was startled. Inside the Qiankun Cauldron?

He quickly looked at the Qiankun Cauldron.

The Qiankun Cauldron is about three zhang tall, completely black, and exudes an ancient aura.

"This Qiankun Cauldron contains endless mysteries. Only by entering it can you truly comprehend its essence," the old man said.

Zhu Xiong Ying took a deep breath and walked to the Qiankun Cauldron.

He reached out, wanting to touch the Qiankun Cauldron. Just as his fingers were about to touch the cauldron's surface, a powerful force suddenly pulled him inside.

Zhu Xiong Ying felt a sudden darkness before her eyes and then lost consciousness.

……

When he woke up again, he found himself in an unfamiliar space.

This space is vast and boundless, seemingly without boundaries.

It was pitch black all around and I couldn't see my fingers.

"Where am I?" Zhu Xiong Ying wondered.

"This is the inner space of the Qiankun Cauldron," the old man's voice suddenly rang out.

Zhu Xiong Ying looked in the direction of the sound and saw that the old man had appeared in front of him at some point.

"Senior, what exactly is this third test?" Zhu Xiong Ying asked.

The old man smiled slightly and said, "This third test is to ensure your survival here."

"Survive?" Zhu Xiong Ying was taken aback. "There's nothing here but darkness. How can we survive?"

The old man did not answer, but instead pointed ahead.

Chapter 690

Zhu Xiong Ying looked in the direction the old man was pointing and saw a glimmer of light in the distance.

"What is that?" Zhu Xiong Ying asked.

“That is hope,” the old man said. “As long as you can get there, you will pass the third test.”

Zhu Xiong Ying's heart skipped a beat. Could that little light be the key to his escape from here?
Without further hesitation, he ran toward the light.

The surrounding darkness seemed endless. He ran for a long time, but he could never reach the place where the light was.

He felt his strength gradually draining away, and his breathing becoming increasingly rapid.

Just when he was about to give up, he suddenly heard a strange sound.

The sound was like the roar of some kind of wild beast.

Zhu Xiong Ying was startled. Could there be other creatures inside the Qiankun Cauldron?

He immediately stopped and looked around warily.

Just then, a huge black shadow suddenly darted out of the darkness and pounced on him.

……

The dark figure was incredibly fast; before Zhu Xiong Ying could react, it pounced on her and knocked her to the ground.

He felt a foul, fishy smell hit him, and then a sharp claw reached for his throat.

Zhu Xiong Ying was terrified and quickly raised his fist to block.

"boom!"

With a muffled thud, the dark figure was knocked back by Zhu Xiong Ying's punch.

Zhu Xiong Ying seized the opportunity to get up and take a closer look, only then did she see the true face of the dark figure.

It was a huge black leopard, twice the size of an ordinary leopard, exuding a ferocious aura.

"Roar!"

The black panther roared and pounced on Zhu Xiong Ying again.

Zhu Xiong Ying dared not be careless and quickly circulated his internal energy to engage in a fierce battle with the black panther.

The black panther was extremely fast and incredibly strong, and Zhu Xiong Ying was unable to subdue it for a time.
