At the break of dawn, Lin Xiaoxiao and Gu sha's training schedule entered a new day. Although the previous night's exchange and relaxation provided them with a brief rest, the impending crisis still kept them highly alert.
As the day's training just concluded, Lin Xiaoxiao was preparing to wipe the sweat from her forehead when a sudden light breeze brought an unusual coolness. Along with the breeze came a familiar yet somewhat playful voice: " Lin Xiaoxiao, we meet again."
Lin Xiaoxiao and Gu sha turned around at the same time, only to see Sheng Bai walking towards them with his usual graceful steps, his pure white robe standing out in the sunlight. His face carried a subtle smile, but his eyes held an unmistakable sharpness.
Gu sha furrowed her brows slightly, watching Sheng Bai warily, her voice low and guarded: "Sheng Bai, what are you doing here?"
Sheng Bai waved his hand dismissively and turned his gaze to Lin Xiaoxiao with a hint of inquiry, "I've heard that you've been performing exceptionally well recently, even making a qualitative leap in controlling your power. Is it really as brilliant as they say?"
Lin Xiaoxiao looked at Sheng Bai warily, a hint of impatience tugging at the corners of her mouth, "There's nothing for us to talk about, Sheng Bai. My alliance with Gu sha against Mo Chen won't be swayed by your little tricks."
Sheng Bai smiled and shrugged, "Lin Xiaoxiao, you've misunderstood. I didn't come to sow discord, I'm simply curious about your power. After all, someone as talented as you, if we could cooperate, it would be easier to fight against Mo Chen."
Gu sha said coldly, "Sheng Bai, we know your intentions very well. Don't think that you can shake us with this approach. Lin Xiaoxiao's position is clear, your scheme won't succeed."
Sheng Bai's eyes flashed with a complex light as he slowly approached Lin Xiaoxiao, as if trying to see something from her reaction. However, Lin Xiaoxiao did not flinch, and looked firmly at Sheng Bai: "Sheng Bai, I don't know what your intentions are, but Gu sha and I are companions, and we will face any difficulties together. Your tests are meaningless to us."
Faced with Lin Xiaoxiao's firm response, Sheng Bai finally withdrew his probing gaze, but his smile became even more profound: "Well, since you are both so resolute, I won't say more. But Gu sha, I advise you to be more careful. After all, Mo Chen's influence is far greater than you imagine. Today, I just came to see an old friend, with no other intentions."
After speaking, Sheng Bai turned and left, leaving Lin Xiaoxiao and Gu sha lost in thought. Lin Xiaoxiao turned to Gu sha with a determined look in her eyes: "Gu sha, no matter what Sheng Bai says, I will stand with you to confront any threat."
Gu sha looked at Lin Xiaoxiao with a sense of relief: "I believe in you, Xiao Xiao. With you by my side, we can definitely overcome anything."
Lin Xiaoxiao nodded, feeling a determination like never before rising in her heart. The days of fighting alongside Gu sha would be full of challenges, but she also believed that as long as they worked together, they could overcome any obstacle.
Emerging from Sheng Bai's test, the relationship between Lin Xiaoxiao and Gu sha grew even stronger, and their determination became more steadfast.
When night fell again, the two of them continued their training on the training ground, preparing for whatever might happen in the future. Moonlight filtered through the leaves, casting dappled light on the two of them, adding a touch of mystery to this serious training.
Gu sha stood on a flat surface, turned to Lin Xiaoxiao, and said, "Tonight, we will focus on controlling your power. Remember, with great power comes great responsibility, and controlling it is key."
Lin Xiaoxiao nodded in understanding, her eyes shimmering with a desire to control power: "I know, Gu sha. I am ready, let's begin!"
Gu sha smiled slightly, he walked to the side and picked up a wooden stick, handing it to Lin Xiaoxiao: "First, try to use your power to control this wooden stick and make it float in the air."
Lin Xiaoxiao took the wooden stick, concentrated, and tried to sense the newly awakened power within her body. After several attempts, the stick finally rose slowly and floated in the air, but then quickly flew out of control and hit a nearby tree.
"Oops, sorry!" Lin Xiaoxiao looked embarrassed and hurried to retrieve the wooden stick.
Gu sha did not get angry, but said calmly, "It's okay, controlling the new power takes time. The important thing is to feel the flow of the power, not to use force."
Lin Xiaoxiao nodded and tried again. This time she was more focused, and gradually she began to feel the power flowing inside her like a trickle of water. The wooden stick floated up again, but this time it stayed steadily in the air.
"Look! I did it!" Lin Xiaoxiao exclaimed excitedly.
Gu sha walked over and looked at her with satisfaction. "Very good, you have started to master the basic control. Remember, a calm mindset is the key."
As training progressed, Lin Xiaoxiao gradually learned how to better control her power, not only making objects levitate but also being able to manipulate them precisely.
In a casual moment, Lin Xiaoxiao suddenly used her power to make a leaf spin above Gu sha's head: "Gu sha, look, isn't it amazing?"
Gu sha He looked up and couldn't help but smile: "Yes, very impressive. But don't forget, our goal is not to play tricks."
Lin Xiaoxiao put away her smile and nodded seriously: "I know, I just... wanted to lighten the mood a bit."
Gu sha nodded in understanding. The two continued their training in the mountains until late at night. This night was not only a training of strength, but also a tempering of will and trust. With each training session, Lin Xiaoxiao not only made great progress in strength, but also deepened the understanding and tacit agreement between her and Gu sha.
Meanwhile, in the distance, Sheng Bai stood in the swaying shadows of the night, gazing into the distance with profound eyes. His face carried a subtle and complex expression, as if contemplating a more profound plan.
After the late-night training, Lin Xiaoxiao and Gu sha returned to their temporary campsite in the mountains to rest. However, on their way back, the surroundings suddenly became distorted, with the trees and rocks around them starting to blur and deform, and everything quickly became hazy.
When the two of them could see clearly again, they found themselves trapped in an illusionary maze. Lin Xiaoxiao and Gu sha were separated by a mysterious force, each at a different entrance to the maze.
Lin Xiaoxiao stood at the entrance of the maze, looking around, only to see the winding path extending into the unknown depths. She turned around to find Gu sha, but he was already out of sight.
"Gu sha!" Lin Xiaoxiao shouted, but only her own voice echoed in the empty maze.
Nearby, the figure of Sheng Bai quietly appeared, and he looked at the separated situation of Lin Xiaoxiao with a smug smile on his face. He knew very well that this illusionary maze was not only a test of Lin Xiaoxiao's power, but also a test of her will.
Lin Xiaoxiao took a deep breath, suppressing the anxiety in her heart. Now was not the time to panic. She adjusted her breathing and began to explore carefully along a path. Her steps were firm, and her eyes shimmered with an unyielding light. She was determined to break through this illusion and find Gu sha.
Gu sha is in a situation similar to the other side of the maze. He calmly analyzes the surrounding environment and quickly devises a strategy to break through the illusion. Gu sha's eyes are calm and determined, as he trusts that Lin Xiaoxiao can overcome any obstacles. At the same time, he must find her and unravel this maze.
As Lin Xiaoxiao navigates through the maze, Sheng Bai occasionally appears, attempting to undermine her determination with words: "Do you really think Gu sha would give up his own goals for you? Perhaps you should consider joining me for more security."
Lin Xiaoxiao stopped and looked directly at Sheng Bai, firmly replying, "Sheng Bai, I won't listen to your words. Gu sha and I are the best partners, and we will overcome any challenge together. Your temptations cannot shake me."
Seeing Lin Xiaoxiao unwavering, Sheng Bai furrowed his brow, then disappeared into the darkness, leaving Lin Xiaoxiao to continue searching for a way out of the maze.
After a difficult exploration, Lin Xiaoxiao finally found Gu sha at the center of the maze. Their eyes met, and both saw the trust in each other's eyes.
Gu sha softly said, "Good, we are finally reunited. Now, let's find a way to solve this maze together."
Lin Xiaoxiao nodded, and together with Gu sha, they began to fight against Sheng Bai's illusion. With their efforts, they quickly discovered the flaws in the illusion and successfully deciphered the maze, walking out of it.
As they walked back to the camp, Lin Xiaoxiao looked at Gu sha and said with a smile, "No matter what difficulties we encounter, as long as we are together, we can overcome them all."
Gu sha smiled and nodded in agreement, "Yes, Xiao Xiao. We will be invincible in our endeavors."
Both of them had complete trust in each other, and neither Sheng Bai nor Mo Chen could shake their determination. And so, their journey would continue.
