Rise of the Otherworld.

After a period of training, Lin Yu's strength improved significantly. He had become a little famous in the village, and the villagers' respect for him was growing. His posture became more upright, his eyes were firm and confident, and his every move exuded a unique temperament.

One day, a mysterious merchant arrived in the village. He was dressed in lavish attire, his silk robe intricately embroidered, a priceless jade pendant dangling from his waist, and flanked by several sturdy, solemn guards. He seemed quite influential. He set up his stall in the village's busiest spot, overflowing with all sorts of bizarre and peculiar items: gems emitting a strange glow, ancient scrolls, and uniquely shaped weapons.

Lin Yu curiously leaned over to look, his eyes wandering among the many items. Suddenly, his eyes were attracted by an ancient jade pendant. The jade pendant was round, with a warm color, and engraved with some strange patterns. Those patterns seemed to be ancient symbols, containing some mysterious power. Lin Yu's heart moved, and an inexplicable intuition told him that this jade pendant was unusual.

He picked up the jade pendant, looked at it carefully, and then asked the merchant about the origin of the jade pendant. The merchant glanced at Lin Yu, a cunning flash in his eyes, and he rolled his eyes and said, "This jade pendant was obtained from a mysterious relic. It is said that there are endless treasures and powerful skills hidden there. However, that place is full of dangers, and countless strong people have never returned."

Lin Yu's interest ignited upon hearing this. He knew full well what powerful techniques and treasures meant in this world; they were the key to improving one's strength and changing one's destiny. He used his accumulated wealth to purchase the jade pendant, and upon returning home, he devoted himself to studying the patterns on it.

After days and nights of contemplation, Lin Yu discovered that these lines seemed to be part of a map. Those zigzag lines seemed to be pointing to a mysterious place. His heart was filled with anticipation and excitement, and he decided to follow this clue to find the mysterious ruins.

Lin Yu bid farewell to the villagers and embarked on a new journey. He carried a simple bag, a sword hung at his waist, and looked ahead with a determined gaze. He followed the clues on the jade pendant and passed through dense forests. In the forest, ancient trees towered, their branches intertwined, and sunlight could only shine through the gaps. The ground was covered with thick fallen leaves, rustling with every step. Lin Yu moved forward cautiously, vigilant to the dangers around him.

He crossed a series of turbulent rivers. The river roared and the waves beat against the rocks on the shore. Lin Yu took off his shoes, rolled up his trouser legs, and stepped into the river carefully. The river water was icy cold and the impact of the current made him almost unable to stand steadily, but he gritted his teeth and walked towards the other side step by step with difficulty.

Along the way, he encountered various dangers. Once, he encountered a ferocious white tiger. The tiger was enormous, its fur white as snow, and its eyes gleamed with a fierce gleam. It opened its bloody maw and pounced on Lin Yu. Lin Yu quickly dodged to the side, swinging his sword and engaging the tiger in a fierce battle. Another time, he accidentally fell into a treacherous trap. The trap was filled with sharp stakes. If he hadn't reacted quickly and used his Qinggong skills to leap out, he would have been killed.

But Lin Yu relied on his wisdom and courage to escape danger again and again. His clothes were torn by branches and his body was covered with scars, but he never stopped.

Finally, Lin Yu arrived in front of a valley. The valley was filled with thick fog, like a white ocean, making it difficult to see what was inside. Lin Yu walked into the valley carefully, taking every step with extreme caution. The fog wet his clothes and hair, and he felt a mysterious force pulling him in, as if a voice was calling him in his heart.

Deep in the valley, he found an ancient stone door. The stone door was tall and heavy, and was engraved with dense runes. Those runes flashed with mysterious light, as if telling the vicissitudes of time. Lin Yu carefully observed the stone door, trying to find a way to open it.

At this moment, the system's voice sounded: "Host, this stone door requires a specific mantra to open."

Lin Yu followed the system's prompts, closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and then slowly recited the formula. The formula was like an ancient spell, echoing in the air. As the formula was recited, the stone door slowly opened, and a powerful breath rushed towards him. The breath was ancient and mysterious, making Lin Yu's heartbeat accelerate instantly.

Lin Yu walked into the stone gate, and inside was a huge cave. The cave was filled with an old atmosphere, and the walls were inlaid with various gems, shining with charming light. In the center of the cave, there was an ancient scroll, exuding a powerful aura. The cover of the scroll was old and yellowed, and it was engraved with some complex patterns and words.

Lin Yu walked forward and picked up the scroll with awe. He saw the words "Peerless Kung Fu" written on it. He was so excited that his hands trembled slightly, knowing that he had obtained a priceless treasure.

Just as he was about to leave, a deep roar suddenly erupted from the cave. It was a sound like something from hell, terrifying. A massive monster emerged from the darkness. Its body was as tall as a mountain, covered in hard scales, and its eyes glowed red, filled with hostility.

Lin Yu frowned, clenched the weapon in his hand, and said secretly in his heart: "No matter what kind of monster you are, I will not retreat!" His eyes were full of determination and resoluteness, ready for a fierce battle.
