A magical journey of a sharp-tongued woman and a goofy man

Ye Shuli stood in front of the mysterious entrance, took a deep breath, as if she wanted to inhale all the strange aura emanating from the entrance into her lungs.

The surrounding psionic energy flickered, like thousands of fireflies dancing, reflecting off her delicate face and adding to her mystery.

The entrance is shrouded in a soft blue light, like a passage to another world, exuding an irresistible allure.

She was both nervous and expectant; her heart was pounding like a drum.

What will this final trial be?

Is it a mountain of knives and a sea of ​​fire?

Or is it an abyss?

She had no idea, but a strange excitement welled up inside her.

The moment Ye Shuli stepped into the entrance, she felt a blur before her eyes, as if she had traveled through a time tunnel.

When she opened her eyes again, she found herself in a huge psionic labyrinth.

The walls of the maze shimmered with a ghostly blue light, flickering like breathing, while intricate runes were carved into the ground, exuding an ancient and mysterious aura.

"What kind of place is this?" Ye Shuli couldn't help but complain. "Playing a maze? Fine, play, but why make such a big fuss? Don't you know I have no sense of direction?"

The maze was silent, with only her own breathing echoing in the air.

She tentatively took a few steps forward, only to find that every path looked exactly the same, as if deliberately teasing her.

The surrounding psionic energy was like a mischievous sprite, shifting left and right, bright and dim, making it even harder for her to discern directions.

"Could this be a dead maze?" Ye Shuli thought to herself. "Are you kidding me? I'm going to become the strongest Spirit King, how can I be trapped in a broken maze?"

She tried to solve the maze using modern methods, holding onto the wall with her left hand and moving forward, but after a long time, she found herself back where she started.

"Holy crap! This is outrageous!" Ye Shuli couldn't help but curse. "Is this maze some kind of monster? Is it deliberately messing with me?"

She looked around and noticed some shimmering runes on the walls of the maze, which seemed to be giving her some kind of hint.

She carefully observed the runes, trying to find a pattern in them.

But these runes were like celestial script; she couldn't understand a single one of them.

"What the hell is this thing?" Ye Shuli scratched her head, feeling like she was about to collapse. "Am I going to be stuck in this hellhole forever?"

Just when she was about to give up, she suddenly noticed that one of the runes seemed a little different.

This rune flashes more slowly than the other runes, and its light is also softer.

She reached out and gently touched the rune.

"Om-"

With a soft sound, the runes suddenly lit up, and then the surrounding walls began to move, changing the maze's path.

"Looks like I made the right bet." Ye Shuli's lips curled up slightly, a sly glint in her eyes. "However, this is just the beginning..."

She continued along the new path, when she heard a faint voice in her ear: "Congratulations, you've found the right path, but the real test has only just begun..."

Ye Shuli had no interest in playing hide-and-seek in this maze.

While everyone else was frantically running around like headless flies, she pulled out a charcoal pencil (where did she get it from?).

Don't ask, the answer is that there's a lot of space), and they started drawing on the floor.

When modern people play in a maze, what's the big deal about holding onto the wall with your left hand?

At least draw a map to mark the route you've taken!

As she walked, she drew lines on the ground, analyzing the subtle differences in the surrounding psionic fluctuations.

The walls of this maze are not static; where the psionic energy fluctuations are strong, the walls are darker in color, and where the fluctuations are weaker, the walls are lighter in color.

Ye Shuli's lips curled up slightly. Was she afraid that she wouldn't notice the hint?

You're seriously underestimating her 21st-century brain!

"Hey little guys, come and play!"

As soon as she finished speaking, several guardians formed from psychic energy appeared out of thin air. They were all different shapes; some looked like menacing monsters, some like fleeting ghosts, and one looked like her ex-boyfriend, which made her clench her fists instantly.

These guardians have all sorts of strange attack methods; some breathe fire, some emit electricity, and some even emit heart-shaped light waves!

While nimbly dodging the attacks, Ye Shuli complained, "This attack method is too bizarre! Are you sure you're not trying to be funny?"

The Guardian's attack caused the surrounding psionic labyrinth to shake, making it look like an earthquake to anyone who didn't know better.

If there were people watching outside, they would probably be worried sick for Ye Shuli.

But who is Ye Shuli?

In modern society, what kind of monsters and demons haven't we seen?

A few psionic guardians, how could they possibly scare her?

While dodging attacks, she carefully observed the guardians' patterns of movement, searching for their weaknesses.

She soon discovered that the Guardians' psionic cores were located in the center of their bodies, shimmering like tempting candies.

"I've found your little secret!" Ye Shuli said. "Bang! Bang! Bang!" With a few crisp sounds, the core of the guardian was shattered, turning into specks of spiritual light and dissipating into the air.

The surrounding psionic labyrinth also stabilized.

"That's it?" Ye Shuli clapped her hands, looking relaxed and carefree. "I thought it would be much more impressive!"

She continued along the marked route; the maze's paths were constantly changing, but Ye Shuli always managed to find the right way.

Suddenly, she stopped in her tracks, and a door gleaming with dazzling light appeared before her.

"Finally arrived..." Ye Shuli took a deep breath and slowly reached out to push open the door...

"Welcome to the final trial grounds..." A deep voice echoed through the maze.

Ye Shuli successfully exited the psionic maze; beyond that gate lay the end of the trial.

The Spirit King Trial Officer appeared out of nowhere, his powerful aura as a mid-stage Spirit King spreading out.

The trial officer looked at Ye Shuli with admiration in his eyes and said in a loud voice, "You little girl, you've got some skills. Not many people can complete the Spirit King Trial as smoothly as you." After saying that, he took out a treasure that emitted a dark blue light. "This is your reward. It can enhance the power of the awakening of the divine artifact. Take it."

Ye Shuli received the treasure and instantly felt a gentle power flow into her body, merging with her own spiritual power.

She could clearly feel that her strength had increased again, and the surrounding psionic energy seemed to be summoned, shining with dazzling light.

The joint trial participants' eyes turned red with envy at the sight, their jealous expressions like wolves that hadn't eaten for three days seeing another wolf with meat in its mouth.

They gritted their teeth, yet were helpless.

After completing the trial, Ye Shuli stepped out of the trial space.

Jiang Ye had been waiting outside for a while. As soon as he saw her, he rushed over like an arrow and hugged Ye Shuli tightly.

His embrace was warm and strong. Ye Shuli could hear his rapid heartbeat, feel the heat emanating from his body, and sense the relief and joy he felt.

Everyone around was touched by this deep affection, and Ye Shuli was also immersed in this warmth.

Just then, Ye Shuli suddenly felt a strange movement in the divine artifact within her body. Her body trembled slightly, and Jiang Ye keenly noticed it, about to ask a question...

Just as Jiang Ye was about to ask a question, he saw Ye Shuli suddenly burst out with a dazzling light, as blinding as the midday sun.

This light was not ordinary gold or white, but rather carried a strange, deep blue hue, like the deepest color in the night sky, mysterious and captivating.

The light spread rapidly, bathing everything around it in a dreamlike hue.

"Holy crap! What's going on?" Jiang Ye couldn't help but curse, instinctively covering his eyes with his hand.

The people around were stunned and exclaimed in amazement.

"This...this is a sign of the awakening of a divine artifact!" Someone in the crowd recognized the strange phenomenon, their tone filled with awe.

The sky was suddenly filled with dark clouds, and lightning flashed and thunder roared.

A massive vortex appeared above Ye Shuli's head, like a passage connecting to another world.

A ghostly blue light shimmered within the vortex, reflecting the light emanating from Ye Shuli, as if they were in some mysterious resonance.

Ye Shuli felt a powerful force surging from her body, as if it were about to tear her apart.

She gritted her teeth, trying her best to control the force and prevent it from getting out of control.

She could sense that the artifact was awakening, and an unprecedentedly powerful force was slowly emerging.

However, at that moment, Ye Shuli suddenly felt a cold aura invade her body, clinging tightly to her soul like a leech.

This aura was filled with darkness and evil, the complete opposite of the light emanating from the artifact.

"What's going on?" Ye Shuli was startled; this dark power made her feel extremely uneasy.

She tried to dispel the power, but found it was as if it were rooted in her body, impossible to shake.

The light emanating from the awakened artifact began to become unstable, flickering on and off, as if it might go out at any moment.

The enormous vortex in the sky began to twist and deform, emitting a series of chilling hissing sounds.

"What...what's going on?" Jiang Ye noticed Ye Shuli's unusual behavior and asked anxiously.

Ye Shuli's face was pale, and fine beads of sweat appeared on her forehead.

Struggling to control the chaotic spiritual energy within her, she managed to speak with difficulty, "Something... is preventing the artifact from awakening..."

Before she could finish speaking, Ye Shuli's body trembled violently, and the light emanating from her flickered erratically, as if it might go out at any moment...

"Li'er!" Jiang Ye exclaimed, reaching out to help Ye Shuli.

Ye Shuli grabbed Jiang Ye's hand, her voice urgent and low: "Quickly... take me away from here..."
