Rise of the Otherworld.

Lin Yu's heroic feat of defeating Wang Hao and the others in the annual competition spread like wildfire throughout the sect. His name became the focus of heated discussion, and the disciples' admiration for him deepened.

In the following days, wherever Lin Yu went, he could feel the respect and friendly gazes from other disciples. Those who had once been suspicious or jealous of him also changed their attitudes.

On this day, Lin Yu was practicing in the courtyard when several young disciples came over timidly.

"Senior Brother Lin Yu, can I ask you some questions about cultivation?" one of the disciples said with a red face.

Lin Yu smiled and stopped, "Of course."

He patiently answered the questions of these disciples and shared his own cultivation experience. Looking at their expressions of sudden enlightenment, Lin Yu felt a sense of accomplishment.

As time went by, more and more disciples came to him, hoping to get Lin Yu's guidance. Lin Yu never refused, as he knew how important it was to help each other on the road of cultivation.

The elders of the sect also looked at Lin Yu differently. At a high-level meeting, the head of the sect said: "Lin Yu is not only talented, but also has a noble character. Given time, he will become a great man."

The other elders nodded in agreement.

Soon after, the sect received an important mission - to explore a mysterious ruins. It is said that the ruins contain precious magic weapons and ancient secrets, but are also full of dangers and unknowns.

Lin Yu volunteered to participate in this mission. The headmaster hesitated for a moment, but finally agreed to his request.

Before setting off, Lin Yu made full preparations. He carefully studied various materials about the ruins and asked the elders for advice on how to deal with danger.

When Lin Yu and other disciples stepped into the ruins, an ancient and mysterious atmosphere hit them. The ruins were filled with thick fog, and strange lights flickered on the walls, making people shudder.

Lin Yu walked cautiously in front of the team, alert to any movement around him. Suddenly, a giant spider swooped down from the ceiling. Its body was covered with sharp thorns, and it spewed green venom from its mouth.

Lin Yu reacted quickly and swung his sword to chop the spider's legs. The other disciples also displayed their own unique skills and started a fierce battle with the spider.

After a hard fight, they finally defeated the spider. But before they could catch their breath, another group of ghostly figures rushed out from the darkness.

Lin Yu shouted loudly: "Everyone, keep your formation and don't panic!"

Under his command, the disciples worked together and gradually stabilized the situation.

Deep within the ruins, they discovered a tightly closed stone door, engraved with complex runes that exuded powerful power.

Lin Yu carefully observed the runes, trying to find a way to open the stone door. Just as he was thinking hard, the system's voice sounded in his mind: "Host, the arrangement of these runes seems to be related to the skills you have learned."

Lin Yu had a flash of inspiration and followed the system's instructions to circulate the spiritual energy in his body and inject it into the rune.

The stone door slowly opened, revealing a dazzling light. As everyone approached, they saw an ancient secret book and a powerful magical weapon quietly placed on the stone platform.

Just as Lin Yu was about to reach out to grab the secret book and magic weapon, a powerful force suddenly surged out from all around and trapped them.

"This is a trap!" a disciple shouted in horror.

Lin Yu frowned, "Everyone calm down, there must be a way to crack it."

He fell into deep thought again, trying to find a way out of the predicament.

After some difficult exploration and attempts, Lin Yu finally found the mechanism hidden in the corner. He quickly pressed the mechanism, and the powerful force dissipated instantly.

Everyone successfully obtained the secret book and magic weapon and completed the mission successfully.

When they returned to the sect, they were warmly welcomed by the entire sect. Lin Yu's reputation became even more famous, and he became a role model for the younger generation of disciples in the sect.

However, Lin Yu did not become complacent because of this. He knew that this was just a small achievement on his path of cultivation, and there would be more challenges waiting for him in the future.
