The cat demon defies the heavens and is the emperor’s only beloved disciple!

"Monks, be silent!"

Chen Xuan's voice was loud and clear, echoing throughout the entire square, and the square fell silent in an instant.

Chen Xuan continued, "Now, please welcome the third cultivator, Si Yao, to the stage!"

As Chen Xuan finished speaking, the monks in the square all cast curious glances at him.

I saw a woman in purple slowly walking onto the platform in the square. She had a light figure and steady steps, and each step seemed to contain a certain rhythm.

She wore a snow-white veil on her face, which concealed her appearance and added a touch of mystery and elegance.

Si Yao stood in front of a fairy stone that emitted a faint spiritual light. She bowed slightly to the Sect Master Chen Xuan and the Emperor Yun Che on the high platform.

Then he turned around and saluted the three sect leaders on his left and right, his movements smooth and respectful.

Finally, she faced the monks in the square and bowed deeply, expressing her respect and humility to everyone.

However, this sudden salute caused a burst of whispers in the square.

"Why is this monk still wearing a veil? Is he too ugly to be seen in public?"

"Who knows? Maybe there's some shameful secret."

Although these discussions were small, they reached Si Yao's ears clearly.

She frowned slightly but didn't show any displeasure.

At this moment, Sect Leader Chen Xuan seemed to have noticed something. He raised his hand gently and a gentle spiritual power surged out from his palm, instantly blowing off the veil on Si Yao's face.

The moment the veil fell, the entire square seemed to stand still.

The left half of Si Yao's face was bruised and bruised, which was shocking, while the right half of her face was still beautiful, forming a sharp contrast.

What was even more shocking was that her face was covered in black curses, making her look extremely strange.

Si Yao's face turned pale in an instant. She subconsciously covered her face with her hands, and a trace of pain and helplessness flashed in her eyes.

However, she quickly adjusted her mood, looked up at everyone, and her eyes flashed with determination and indomitable spirit.

"Everyone, I came to Lingshan College to seek a way to heal my face."

Although Si Yao's voice was soft, it was clearly heard throughout the square.

"I believe that in this spiritual land of Lingshan Academy, I will be able to find a way to lift my curse and restore my appearance."

Upon seeing this, Chen Xuan quickly stood up from his throne, came to Si Yao, and comforted her softly, "Miss Si Yao, don't worry, we at Lingshan Academy will do our best to help you.

Here, no one will look down on you because of your appearance; we value your cultivation and character more."

As Chen Xuan finished speaking, the monks in the square nodded in agreement.

They began to re-examine the woman in purple, no longer judging her by her appearance, but were moved by her courage and tenacity.

And Si Yao also found the strength to move forward in this warmth and encouragement.

She knew that the road ahead might be full of thorns and challenges, but she was ready to face her own Purple Thunder Trial.

She stood quietly in front of the fairy stone.

Her eyes flashed with determination and expectation, as if she was ready to face all challenges.

The monks around her were talking about her and looking at her with either admiration or curiosity.

Chen Xuan's gaze stayed on Si Yao for a moment, then he raised his hand and waved it, and a golden centering lock instantly wrapped around Si Yao's body.

"Si Yao, are you ready?" Chen Xuan's voice was low and powerful, full of trust and expectation.

Si Yao nodded slightly, her eyes more determined: "Yes, Sect Master, I am ready."

Just as Chen Xuan was about to perform the lightning-inducing technique, a white figure suddenly appeared out of thin air on the platform.

Her white clothes were as white as snow, her long hair was like a waterfall, and her face was cold and beautiful, as if she was a fairy walking out of a painting.

She leaped lightly and landed in front of Chen Xuan and Yun Che, bowing slightly to them.

"Master Chenxuan, Emperor Yunche."

Her voice was clear and melodious, like the sound of nature. "Let me preside over this cultivator's Purple Thunder Trial."

Chen Xuan was slightly stunned, then smiled and said, "So it's Deputy Sect Leader Shuangyue. It would be great if you are willing to take action yourself."

After saying that, Chen Xuan returned to the throne on the high platform, sat down slowly, and waited for the third purple thunder trial.

Deputy Sect Leader Shuangyue smiled slightly, and that smile was like a spring breeze, which made all the cultivators present feel moved.

She turned her gaze towards Yun Che, a hint of tenderness and complexity flashing in her eyes.

Yun Che smiled back, and there seemed to be some kind of unspoken understanding between the two of them.

Beside Yun Che, Xu Wan watched all this silently.

She is Yun Che's disciple and has deep respect and admiration for her master.

When she saw Deputy Sect Leader Shuang Yue showing that smile to Yun Che, she couldn't help but feel an inexplicable jealousy and doubt in her heart.

"Master, are you familiar with her?"

Xu Wan finally couldn't help but ask. Although her voice was small, it was particularly clear in this quiet square.

Upon hearing this, Yun Che turned to look at Xu Wan, a hint of tenderness and helplessness flashing in his eyes.

"Wan'er, Deputy Sect Leader Shuangyue and I are old acquaintances, but there is no other intention between us."

He explained softly, "She is an extremely outstanding monk and one of the important pillars of Lingshan Academy."

Xu Wan's jealousy subsided a little after hearing this, but she still asked unwillingly, "Then why is she smiling at you?"

On the high throne, Yun Che chuckled softly, then reached out and gently patted the back of Xu Wan, who was standing beside him.

"That's because she admires my cultivation and my character."

There was a hint of confidence and freedom in his words.

"In the world of cultivation, the strong always win the respect and admiration of others."

With the arrival of Deputy Sect Leader Frost Moon, the Purple Thunder Trial officially began.

She stood in front of the fairy stone, forming seals with her hands and muttering something.

Suddenly, the sky was covered with dark clouds, thunder roared, and purple lightning rolled and roared in the clouds, as if to devour everything.

"Si Yao, are you ready?" The voice of Deputy Sect Leader Yuehua sounded particularly clear and firm amid the sound of thunder and lightning.

Si Yao took a deep breath and nodded.

"Ready."

Deputy Sect Leader Yuehua smiled slightly, then waved his hands, and a purple lightning instantly struck the fairy stone.

The runes on the fairy stone suddenly lit up, reflecting the lightning and thunder, forming a spectacular picture.

Si Yao closed her eyes and concentrated, her spiritual energy surging throughout her body, ready to face the test of the purple thunder trial.

She knew that this was not just a test, but also an opportunity to prove herself.

She wants to use her own strength to prove her value and ability to everyone.

As the purple thunder continued to fall, Si Yao's figure appeared and disappeared in the thunder and lightning, but she always maintained her firm belief and unyielding will.

She believed that as long as she didn't give up, she would be able to survive this trial and become a truly strong person.

Yun Che and Chen Xuan watched all this quietly from the side, their eyes filled with anticipation and confidence.

They knew that Si Yao would succeed.

Because she not only has outstanding talent and skills, but also has a heart that never gives up.

Si Yao's purple dress swayed gently in the wind. Although half of her face was still shocking, her eyes were unusually firm.

One, two, three... purple lightning fell one after another, and each time seemed to tear her apart.

Si Yao's purple dress was gradually stained with blood. She fell to her knees, but she still did not give up. There was only persistence and determination in her eyes.

"Si Yao, are you okay? Do you need to stop?" Deputy Sect Leader Shuangyue asked with concern.

"Go on!" Si Yao's voice was small but extremely firm.

When the ninety-ninth purple thunder was ready to be launched, the entire square was shrouded in a depressing atmosphere.

Everyone held their breath, wondering how this trial would end.

Finally, the ninety-ninth purple thunder fell, it was thicker and more violent than any previous one.

When the purple lightning struck Si Yao, it emitted a dazzling light. The light was so strong that everyone present temporarily lost their sight.

The light gradually dimmed, and when everyone opened their eyes again, they were shocked by the scene before them.

The left part of Si Yao's face, which had once been festered, had miraculously returned to its original state. Her skin was delicate and smooth, contrasting beautifully with the flawless face on the right.

"The curse... is lifted?"

Deputy Sect Leader Shimotsuki muttered to himself in disbelief.

Si Yao slowly opened her eyes, and the pair of eyes that had once looked dull and lifeless due to half of the festering eyes now sparkled with an unprecedented light.

She gently touched her face, feeling the long-lost completeness and beauty, and tears couldn't help but fall.

"I...I did it."

Si Yao's voice was trembling, but full of strength.

The people around looked at her in shock and admiration. They had never thought that this girl, who was once cursed and looked down upon, could overcome such a terrible trial with her own will and courage.

Above the square of Lingshan College, the sky was covered with dark clouds and thunder roared, as if everything in the world was trembling for the end of this trial.

In front of the fairy stone on the high platform of Lingshan Square, a girl in a purple long dress, Si Yao, was kneeling on the ground.

Deputy Sect Leader Shuangyue stood in front of Si Yao. There was both majesty and a subtle tenderness in her eyes.

"Congratulations, Si Yao, you passed the Purple Thunder Trial."

Shimotsuki's voice echoed over the square, carrying a hint of barely perceptible relief.

She reached out and helped Si Yao up from the ground.

Si Yao's legs were shaking from the prolonged torture of lightning, but she still endured the severe pain all over her body and bowed deeply to Shuang Yue, "Thank you, Sect Master."

Sect Master Chen Xuan stood up from the high throne, holding a crystal clear spiritual fruit in his hand.

He walked up to Si Yao and handed her the spiritual fruit. His tone was gentle but powerful. "Si Yao, you have successfully passed the trial. This is your reward. Go with the attendants to rest. You need to recover well."

Si Yao took the spiritual fruit and looked at Chen Xuan gratefully, with determination and hope flashing in her eyes.

She knew that this was not just the end of a trial, but also an important turning point in her path of cultivation.

The Purple Thunder Trial is one of the most rigorous trials in Lingshan Academy. Only a very small number of disciples with extraordinary talents and strong will can pass it.

Si Yao once again endured the pain in her muscles and bones, bowed deeply to Sect Master Chen Xuan to show her respect, and said: "Thank you for your gift, Sect Master!"

With the help of his attendants, Si Yao slowly walked down the platform.

In the square, many monks looked at her with envy and admiration, but Si Yao always remained humble and indifferent.

She knew that passing this trial was just the beginning and that the road of cultivation in the future was still long.

Xu Wan was stunned watching from the side. She had never seen such a shocking scene.

"Master, this Purple Thunder Trial can also remove the curse on this woman and restore her beauty. It's truly miraculous!"

She couldn't help but sigh, her eyes flashing with desire for power and miracles.

Yun Che nodded gently and said earnestly, "Everything has its cause and effect. Although the Purple Thunder Trial is fierce, it also contains the purest power in the world.

It can purify all filth, and naturally it can also remove the curse on this woman."

"Master, if I were to be struck by thousands of purple lightning bolts, wouldn't I be deified?"

She said this half-jokingly, but her eyes were shining with unprecedented determination and resolve.

Upon hearing this, Sect Master Chen Xuan stroked his long white beard and said to Yun Che with a smile, “My dear friend Yun Che, your beloved disciple is quite interesting!”
