Lan Yunyan couldn't wait to return to her residence. When she saw Ling Xiuhan's gentle smile, the fatigue of the day instantly dissipated.

"Xiu Han, our training today was very effective." Lan Yunyan said excitedly.

Ling Xiu Han gently stroked her hair, "I knew you could do it." They hugged each other, enjoying this warm moment.

The afterglow of the setting sun stretched their figures out. Lan Yunyan leaned against Ling Xiuhan's arms, feeling his heartbeat, her heart filled with peace.

"Xiu Han, with you by my side, I feel full of strength." Lan Yunyan said softly.

Ling Xiuhan lowered his head slightly and kissed her forehead gently, "Yunyan, you have always been strong and brave. I will always be with you and watch you become stronger and stronger."

They hugged each other quietly, enjoying this moment of tranquility.

The days passed by quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it was the day of the trial.

During this period, Lan Yunyan practiced with Yun Mengyao and Lin Wan'er every day, and her cultivation level broke through to the peak of the Nascent Soul stage.

As the morning light shone, the trial field gradually became lively. Practitioners from all directions gathered together, their eyes flashing with anticipation and nervousness for the upcoming trial.

In the center of the trial field, on a high platform, several white-haired elders with serious faces stood. Their eyes swept across the crowd, exuding an unquestionable majesty.

The leading elder wore a silver-gray robe, his hair as white as snow, his beard flowing, and his eyes piercing, as if he could see through everything in the world. He raised his hands slightly, signaling for silence, and the audience fell silent.

The elder slowly raised the scepter in his hand, and a ray of light shot out from the top of the scepter, straight into the sky, forming a dazzling column of light.

This marks the official start of the trial.

The elder's voice was as loud as a bell, echoing throughout the trial field: "Today, the trial begins. You are the future and hope of the sect. This trial is a major test for you." He paused, his eyes slowly sweeping across the young faces below.

“The trial ground is full of dangers.

There are ferocious monsters with great strength and sharp claws;

There are mysterious illusions that can confuse people and make them lose their way;

There are also various complex traps and mechanisms that could lead to desperate situations if one is not careful. The elder's words slightly changed the expressions of some disciples, but a stronger fighting spirit ignited in the eyes of many others.

"Your mission is to find five mysterious spirit pearls in the trial grounds. These five spirit pearls are hidden in different places, perhaps in deep caves, on steep mountains, or under turbulent rivers.

Only those who gather all five spirit beads and successfully leave the trial ground will be crowned the winner. The spirit beads will be awarded to the first-place winner. As soon as the elder finished speaking, a slight commotion erupted from the audience.

"The trial begins now!" The elder gave an order, and a ray of light shot out from his hand, heading straight for the entrance to the mysterious trial site not far away.

Lan Yunyan stood at the entrance of the trial ground, her eyes revealing determination and confidence.

She was wearing a light blue long dress, her long hair fluttering in the wind, like a fairy descending to earth.

Yun Mengyao and Lin Wan'er stood beside her, equally full of fighting spirit.

Yun Mengyao smiled and said, "Yunyan, we must shine in the trial today."

Lin Wan'er also nodded in agreement: "That's right, our efforts over the past few days will not be in vain."

Lan Yunyan nodded slightly, "Let's work hard together."

Then Lan Yunyan walked into the trial site.

When the disciples stepped into the trial ground, it was as if they had entered a whole new world.

At the entrance, there was a dark forest. Tall trees blocked out the sun, and the sunlight could only shine through the layers of branches and leaves, casting scattered spots of light.

The ancient tree trunks are covered with moss and vines, exuding a mysterious atmosphere.

The ground was covered with fallen leaves and dead branches, which rustled when stepped on. Occasionally, a few small animals would dart out from the grass and quickly disappear into the darkness.

As we continued to go deeper, we found ourselves in front of a turbulent river, with the water roaring and splashing everywhere.

The river water is so clear that you can see the rocks at the bottom and the fish swimming around.

There is an ancient stone bridge across the river. The stone bridge is covered with traces of time and seems like it may collapse at any time.

After crossing the stone bridge, there is a valley with strange rocks. The huge rocks have different shapes, some look like ferocious beasts, and some look like ancient gods.

A thin layer of fog filled the valley, making it difficult to see the road ahead. Strange noises could be heard from time to time, filling one with unease.

Further ahead, there was a precipitous mountain. Its peak soared into the clouds, and its sheer cliffs were daunting. The mountain path was littered with sharp rocks and thorns, making every step a challenge.

The top of the mountain is shrouded in mist.

In every corner of the trial ground, you can occasionally see mysterious runes flashing with strange light.

These runes seem to contain powerful power, making people afraid to approach them easily.

At the same time, there was a vague mysterious atmosphere in the air, as if there were pairs of eyes watching everyone in secret.

Lan Yunyan, Yun Mengyao, and Lin Wan'er moved cautiously through the trial grounds. The surroundings were unnervingly quiet, with only the gentle sound of their footsteps echoing in the air.

Suddenly, a low roar broke the silence.

The three of them stopped instantly and looked nervously in the direction where the sound came from.

Not far away, a gigantic two-headed demonic wolf slowly emerged. Its eyes flashed with ferocity, and its sharp fangs exuded a chilling aura in the dim light.

Lan Yunyan gripped the long sword tightly in her hand and said to Yun Mengyao and Lin Wan'er with a serious look, "Be careful, this demon wolf is not easy to deal with." Yun Mengyao and Lin Wan'er also immediately took out their weapons and were ready for battle.

The two-headed demon wolf seemed to sense their vigilance, let out an even more ferocious roar, and then pounced on them.
