I, Suiren, will teach Ziyi how to make stockings.

[Brothers, I may disappoint you again today. These past few days during the Lunar New Year have been incredibly busy: frying food, going to the market, visiting relatives, and drinking.]

Ye Chongren clenched his fists, veins popping out on his hands, his eyes full of determination, "Today's revenge must be avenged without a doubt. We must practice hard and never be in such a mess again." Yu Ding and Meng Kongchan also nodded heavily. They knew that strength was the foundation for gaining a foothold in this dangerous world.

In the days that followed, Ye Chongren sought out a secluded valley, rising with the dawn each day to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, circulate his divine power, and constantly attempt to break free from his own constraints. Every time the divine power flowed through his meridians, the excruciating pain it brought made his forehead sweat profusely, but he gritted his teeth and never once thought of giving up.

Yu Ding plunged into the pile of ancient books, searching for those that recorded profound spells and magical powers, studying them day and night. In order to understand the mystery of a rune, he often stayed up all night and conducted repeated experiments. Even if he failed many times, he still persisted in exploring.

Meng Kongchan is also very hardworking. She takes her magic weapon into the depths of the mountains and forests, looking for powerful monsters to train in actual combat. In fierce confrontations again and again, her magic weapon becomes more and more agile, and the light mist it emits becomes more condensed and more powerful than before.

Time flew by, and months passed. When the three of them met again, they all felt the transformations they had experienced in each other. Ye Chongren's mysterious divine power shone brighter, and his every move carried a powerful force. The runes in Yu Ding's hand could now be transformed and combined at will, unleashing a power far greater than before. With a gentle wave of Meng Kongchan's magical instrument, the mist of light transformed into a tangible blade capable of cleaving through boulders.

They learned of a dangerous location frequented by the Black Robe Man: a demonic lair deep in the desert. It was said that the Black Robe Man frequently sought refuge there to draw upon dark powers for nourishment. Without hesitation, the three of them headed for the lair, overcoming obstacles along the way and repelling numerous demons and heretics who coveted their territory.

Finally arriving at the demon cave, they found it shrouded in a shimmering, eerie atmosphere, punctuated by shrill roars. Ye Chongren was the first to enter, followed closely by Yu Ding and Meng Kongchan. Upon entering, they encountered numerous traps and evil spirits set up by the black-robed figures. However, they were no longer the same. With a single swing of his sword, Ye Chongren unleashed a powerful force, instantly destroying the traps and slaying the evil spirits.

The black-robed man was absorbing demonic energy deep in the demon cave. After sensing the movement, he slowly stood up. Seeing Ye Chongren and the others, he was stunned at first, then burst into a wild laugh. "Oh, you dare to come to our door? It seems that the lesson I taught you last time was not enough."

Ye Chongren responded coldly, "Today is the day you repay your debt." With that, he launched the first attack, his body moving like lightning as he rushed towards the black-robed figure. His longsword, radiating a dazzling divine light, pierced the black-robed figure's vital points. Yu Ding and Meng Kongchan also immediately unleashed their power, unleashing runes and luminous mists that enveloped the black-robed figure. The black-robed figure's expression changed slightly, but he didn't dare to be careless. He quickly mobilized his magic power to respond. Thus began a fierce battle within the demonic cave. The outcome remained uncertain, but the pervasive smoke and surging energy made the entire cave tremble.
