Hua Yao keenly sensed something was wrong and whispered a reminder: "Su Ting, look over there, someone is sneaking up."

Upon hearing this, Su Ting looked up and his expression suddenly darkened. "They are definitely after the Heart of Wisdom. We must solve the mystery as soon as possible to protect this place."

At that moment, a tall man walked over with a sneer. "Oh, you lot are quite capable, managing to barge in here. But unfortunately, the rest is up to us."

"Who are you people?" Murong Yun asked coldly.

The other party chuckled: "Who I am is not important. What's important is that everything here is ours now."

"Dream on! We went through so much trouble to find this place, how could we let you take it away so easily!" Hua Yao said angrily.

The two sides faced off, the air thick with tension. Suddenly, Su Ting seemed to realize something, and he whirled around to stare at the stone pillar. "I know!" he shouted, "These runes aren't just simple characters, but part of some kind of array; they're connected to the energy source of the entire space."

Upon hearing this, everyone present was stunned. Su Ting looked at Su Ting in surprise: "It's truly astonishing that you could grasp this so quickly."

"Stop praising me, let me try to break this formation." After saying that, Su Ting began to quickly set up a series of complex hand seals around the stone pillar.

As the final gesture was made, the previously calm hall suddenly trembled, and a powerful force surged from the stone pillar, forming a massive beam of light that shot straight into the sky. At the same time, the surrounding shadowy figures were shocked by this sudden burst of energy, some even losing their footing and retreating.

"It seems you have passed this test." Su Ting smiled with satisfaction. "Congratulations everyone, the path to the next trial has been opened."

At that moment, the tall, arrogant man's expression changed drastically: "How is this possible? How can you people be so strong?!"

"Hmph, now you know fear, huh?" Hua Yao sneered. "If you know what's good for you, leave now, or you'll face the consequences!"

"We won't let this go, you just wait!" With that, he turned and fled towards the exit.

Su Ting turned to look at Su Ting: "Senior, what kind of test will we face next?"

Su Ting slowly shook his head: "What awaits you ahead are even more difficult and dangerous challenges, but remember, only after overcoming these difficulties will the real treasure belong to the brave."

"No matter what, we will not give up," Murong Yun said firmly.

"Very well, let's set off then." The old man nodded and led them onward...

Just as the group was preparing to continue, more dark figures suddenly surged in from all directions, each with a malicious glint in their eyes. Clearly, they were determined to stop them at all costs.

"You guys are really persistent," Hua Yao sneered. "Since that's the case, let's settle things once and for all."

One of the men, dressed in a black robe, stepped forward and said in a defiant tone, "You think you can get here with just a little bit of cleverness? How naive! Everything here belongs to us, and no one can take it away."

Su Ting glanced at the man with disdain, then looked at Su Ting and the others: "Children, this is one of the tests you must undergo. Only by defeating these greedy people can you truly gain the approval of the Heart of Wisdom."

"You're right, senior." Su Ting nodded, then turned to his teammates and asked, "Is everyone ready?"

"Don't worry, Su Ting!" Murong Yun patted his chest confidently, "An enemy of this level is no match for me."

"Then let's teach them a lesson." Hua Yao gripped her longsword tightly, her eyes flashing with determination.

Just then, a passerby who had been watching silently for a long time finally couldn't help but speak up: "Wow, these young men are so cool! They're not afraid of so many strong enemies. They're a hundred times better than those so-called 'heroes' who only know how to brag!"

"Oh my, look at that girl, she looks so cool holding that sword. I wish I could be like her someday," another little girl said enviously, her eyes shining.

Meanwhile, in a corner, several small groups who had also intended to take advantage of the chaos exchanged glances and quickly slipped away. Clearly, this fight was beyond their control.

"It seems we have no choice but to get serious today." The black-robed man who had previously led the group had a grim expression. "But it's fine, let me show you the true difference in strength!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he waved his hand, and countless dark flames immediately appeared around him, rushing towards Su Ting and the others. However, just as these flames were about to touch them, suddenly the entire hall surged with wind and clouds, and an invisible barrier instantly appeared in front of everyone, blocking all the attacks.

"What's going on?" someone in the crowd exclaimed.

"Could it be... that senior made a move?" Another passerby's eyes widened, his voice filled with disbelief.

Indeed, it was Su Ting who gently raised his right hand and cast a protective shield. "Young man, go ahead, don't worry too much," he said calmly.

Encouraged, Su Ting and the others immediately rushed forward, engaging in fierce combat with their opponents. Hua Yao wielded her longsword, drawing brilliant arcs in the air; on the other side, Murong Yun nimbly dodged attacks from all directions, constantly seeking opportunities to counterattack; as for Su Ting himself, he focused intently on manipulating the power of the newly unlocked formation, using it to weaken the enemy's offensive.

The battle raged on for a long time, until the very last moment, when all the enemies had been repelled, Su Ting finally stopped and took a deep breath. "We won..."

"Hopefully, this victory will be an indispensable part of our future path," Su Ting smiled. "Now, let's move forward."

"Wait, there seems to be something glowing over there!" a passerby suddenly pointed into the distance and shouted excitedly.

Everyone looked in the direction he pointed, and sure enough, there was a glimmer of light not far ahead, seemingly guiding the way to the next trial...

"So, senior, shall we set off now?" Murong Yun asked.

Su Ting nodded: "It's time, but remember, there may be more unexpected things waiting for you on the way."

"No matter what, we will persevere to the end." Hua Yao clenched her fists, her eyes full of fighting spirit.

Just as the group was about to set off, a sudden, soft footstep caught their attention. "Who's there? Come out quickly!" Hua Yao looked around warily.

"Uh... actually, I was just a spectator watching the whole battle from the shadows." A young man walked out with an awkward smile. "I really admire your courage and wisdom. So, I was wondering if I could join you on your adventure?"

Everyone was stunned, even Su Ting looked surprised. Clearly, no one expected someone to volunteer to join them at this crucial moment.

"Why do you want to join us?" Su Ting asked curiously.

The young man sighed, then looked at them sincerely: “Because I believe that true treasure is not just about gold and silver. It also includes friendship, trust, and growth… I hope to find these things on my journey.”

After hearing this, the group fell into a brief silence. Then, Su Ting broke the silence first: "Alright, in that case, you can come along with us."

Upon hearing this, a hint of surprise flashed in the young man's eyes, and he bowed gratefully, saying, "Thank you! My name is Su Ting."

"Okay, let's go." Su Ting nodded, with a mixture of curiosity and caution.

Just as they were about to continue on their way, a voice suddenly came from the side: "My God, did you see that new guy from earlier? He's got guts!"

“Yes, this is a journey where life and death are uncertain! He actually dared to volunteer to join.” Another person chimed in.

"If it were me, I'd probably be so scared my legs would have gone weak..." A slightly thin boy looked at him with admiration.

At this moment, Su Ting, who was walking at the front of the group, stopped and turned around. "Alright, now that everyone has decided to travel together, we need to be mentally prepared. The road ahead won't be smooth sailing, but as long as we have enough faith in our hearts, we will definitely be able to overcome all difficulties."

Hua Yao said softly, "Senior, we are ready to face any challenge. Please rest assured."

Murong Yun confidently replied, "That's right! No matter what kind of powerful enemy we encounter, I believe we can defeat them with our own strength."

Hearing these words, Su Ting felt a surge of warmth in his heart and secretly resolved to keep up with his teammates and grow together, no matter what.

And so, amidst the envious and admiring gazes of many passersby, the group resolutely took their first step toward the unknown.

Just as they were about to leave the area, a series of hurried footsteps sounded in the distance. The group instinctively stopped and became alert, only to see a panting girl running towards them. "Wait...wait for me!" she called out.

Upon seeing this, the crowd, who had been lost in their own worlds, turned their curious gazes towards her. "This lady looks like she's in trouble?" a little girl muttered softly.

Indeed, when the girl finally caught up with the group, her face was covered in sweat and exhaustion. "Excuse me for disturbing you, I'm a resident from nearby," she explained breathlessly, "Actually... I just heard some news about our village possibly facing danger. So I came here specifically to seek help, please listen to my request, okay?"

Seeing the girl's pleading eyes, Su Ting pondered for a moment before asking, "What exactly is the danger you're talking about? Could you explain the situation in detail?"

“Hmm… Lately, there have been some people of unknown origin wandering around the village, and they don’t seem to be just travelers or explorers…” The girl tried to organize her thoughts. “Especially the night before last, I overheard some shadowy figures talking. They mentioned that they were looking for some ‘forbidden thing’ here.”

After hearing this, a hush fell over the surroundings, broken only by the rustling of leaves in the breeze. Clearly, this sudden news had taken everyone by surprise.

Su Ting frowned and looked at his companions: "If we really choose to help, it means we'll have to change our original route..."

“However,” Su Ting suddenly spoke up, “if the ‘forbidden thing’ those guys are talking about is really dangerous, then perhaps that’s exactly what we should be doing to stop it.”

“He has a point,” Hua Yao nodded in agreement. “After all, we can’t ignore potential threats.”

“Alright then,” Su Ting finally made the decision, “Let’s investigate this matter first.”

"Thank you so much!" Upon hearing the reply, the girl's face lit up with a relieved smile.

"Then, lead the way." With a gentle wave of his hand, Su Ting led the group in another direction. In the distance, countless eyes remained intently watching, wondering how these heroes would face the new challenges that lay ahead…

The girl led them through a dense forest, surrounded by a natural barrier of towering trees and low shrubs. Along the way, several villagers stopped when they saw them, their faces showing curiosity and awe.

"Look! Isn't that Senior Su Ting? Where are they going?" a young villager asked, his eyes wide.

"They must be going to resolve some major issue." An elderly man next to him nodded, his tone tinged with envy. "These young people are really amazing. They actually came to us for help when such a big thing happened here."

"Oh dear, I heard there's some forbidden item that needs to be found..." a middle-aged woman said in a low voice. "This is no simple matter."

Meanwhile, Su Ting and the others had arrived at a small house not far from the village entrance. The girl gently pushed open the creaking wooden door and led them into a dimly lit but clean room.

“This is it,” the girl said softly. “My grandfather usually lives here and studies things about the history of the village. Perhaps he knows more about the inside story.”

"Oh? This old man seems quite wise." Su Ting smiled slightly, his gaze falling on the elderly man sitting at the table, engrossed in writing.

“Yes, that’s true,” Hua Yao added. “We have to respect his wishes and ask him about the specifics.”

Just as they were about to step forward to explain their purpose, the old man raised his head, his sharp gaze scrutinizing each of them. "You've come," he said slowly, his voice aged yet powerful, "I know why you've come. But before that, there are a few things I'd like you to know."
