Legend of Hongmeng Duo
Chapter 144: External Challenge
Over time, Lingquan Island's reputation as a paradise spread like wildfire, its fame growing stronger and stronger. Like a giant magnet, this mysterious and spiritual island not only attracted countless ordinary cultivators eager to improve their cultivation and pursue the true meaning of the immortal path, but also attracted the close attention of some powerful cultivators with extraordinary strength.
Among this group of strong men, some are simply out of strong curiosity and want to set foot on this magical land to explore it themselves; while others are driven by the innate competitive spirit and extreme desire for challenges deep in their hearts, and can't wait to show their skills here and compete with other masters.
On such a seemingly ordinary day, a dark shadow suddenly streaked across the distant sky, plummeting like a meteor onto Lingquan Island. Instantly, the entire island felt the presence of a powerful aura, shattering the previously tranquil and peaceful atmosphere. Everyone looked up to see a tall, upright man standing firmly in the center of the training square. He was clad in a jet-black robe, his sleeves dancing in the wind, adding to his mysterious presence. His face was sharply defined, as if sculpted by a knife and axe, and possessed an uncanny coldness. His eyes, deep as the sea, flashed with a chilling glint, emanating an aura of authority that was almost unbearable to gaze upon.
After some inquiries, people finally learned that the uninvited guest's name was Xuanming. Clearly, his journey from afar was no accident, but rather a clear and determined goal: to challenge Lingquan Island's leaders, Lin Yi and Su Qing, and use this opportunity to fully demonstrate his unfathomable strength.
"I've heard that the two masters of Lingquan Island possess remarkable skills and unparalleled strength. Today, I, Xuanming, have come specially to learn from them!" Xuanming's deep, magnetic voice seemed to possess some kind of magical power, echoing lingeringly over the empty training square. At the same time, his icy gaze fixed directly on Lin Yi and Su Qing, as if he wanted to see through them completely. In an instant, the air around them seemed to grow heavy with tension. A thrilling contest was about to begin...
Lin Yi and Su Qing exchanged a glance. They could sense the powerful aura emanating from Xuan Ming; he was an opponent not to be underestimated. However, there was no fear in their eyes; only determination and composure.
"Lingquan Island welcomes every cultivator, but challenging is not our purpose." Lin Yi's voice was calm and powerful. His attitude showed both welcome and position.
Su Qing also nodded, a hint of vigilance in her eyes: "Our strength is used to protect the peace of Lingquan Island and the world of immortal cultivation, not to fight."
Xuan Ming sneered. He had no intention of giving up. "Peace is certainly important, but the contest of strength is also part of the world of immortal cultivation. I came here to prove my strength."
Lin Yi and Su Qing knew that this challenge was inevitable. They decided to accept it, not for the sake of fighting, but to maintain the dignity and order of Lingquan Island.
"In that case, we accept your challenge." Lin Yi's voice was firm and powerful, and there was a glint of determination in his eyes.
Su Qing also prepared herself for battle, her staff slashing rays of light through the air as she prepared to engage in battle.
The battle unfolded in the training square. Xuan Ming launched the first attack, his spells powerful and swift, each strike carrying a piercing sound. Lin Yi and Su Qing, relying on their tacit coordination and the power of the "Hongmeng Heart Method," skillfully neutralized Xuan Ming's attacks and sought opportunities to counterattack.
As the battle progressed, Lin Yi and Su Qing gradually gained the upper hand. They not only demonstrated their formidable strength, but also their exceptional combat intelligence and teamwork. Although Xuan Ming was powerful, his attacks were gradually suppressed by the combined efforts of Lin Yi and Su Qing.
Finally, with a subtle coordination, Lin Yi and Su Qing successfully defeated Xuan Ming. After the battle, although Xuan Ming was injured, there was no resentment in his eyes, only recognition of Lin Yi and Su Qing's strength.
"I lost. You are indeed powerful." There was a hint of respect in Xuan Ming's voice, and his attitude also changed.
Lin Yi and Su Qing looked quietly at the injured Xuan Ming lying on the ground before them, their eyes devoid of any mockery or disparagement. On the contrary, after exchanging a glance, they walked towards Xuan Ming without hesitation, offering a helping hand.
They knew that for cultivators, competition wasn't simply a test of strength; more importantly, it was about the exchange and exchange of minds. Only with a broad mind and a tolerant heart could one go further and soar higher on this long road to immortality.
"Our victory today is by no means the end; it is merely a new starting point." Lin Yi's calm and magnetic voice slowly rang out, brimming with tolerance and boundless wisdom. "We sincerely hope that you can set aside your past prejudices and become a sincere friend of Lingquan Island. Let us join hands and jointly safeguard the hard-earned peace of this world of immortal cultivation."
Su Qing, standing nearby, nodded slightly. A similarly determined light shone in her beautiful eyes as she softly said, "That's right. The strength we possess isn't a tool for fighting or wanton destruction, but a source of power to protect the weak and helpless, and to provide them with warmth and help."
Xuan Ming looked up at the two sincere and kind-hearted cultivators before him, and an indescribable feeling welled up in his heart. He had originally expected to be mercilessly humiliated and ridiculed, but now he felt an unprecedented understanding and care. So, after careful consideration, Xuan Ming made a crucial decision—he would remain on Lingquan Island, cultivating alongside Lin Yi and Su Qing, and together they would explore the mysterious path of cultivation.
With Xuan Ming's official joining, Lingquan Island's overall strength was like a powerful infusion of fresh blood, experiencing another significant boost. Lin Yi and Su Qing's outstanding leadership not only successfully maintained order within Lingquan Island but also earned the heartfelt respect and support of an increasing number of cultivators. From then on, Lingquan Island gradually became a sacred place longed for by many cultivators.
