The sun had already carried the mountains, and the lingering light of dusk painted a faint golden edge on the horizon, beautiful yet tinged with a kind of sorrow. This sorrow did not come from nature, but from the depths of Xuan Xiaowei's heart.
The entrance to the simulated site has been opened, waiting for her to enter.
The gray rocks and giant ancient trees, along with the delicate scent of lavender, create an environment that feels like a real natural setting. This perfect simulation technology almost makes it impossible to distinguish between reality and illusion, but Xuan Xiaowei knows that all of this is to make her stronger.
Standing at the entrance, Xuan Xiaowei is wearing tight hunting clothes made from a rare animal skin, which is both lightweight and durable.
Xuan Xiaowei carries a long sword called Sky Piercer Sword on her back. The blade of the sword sways with the breeze, emitting a faint cold light, as if it could cut through everything.
By her side stands a small tiger named Bai Cang. Its fur is as white as snow, and its blue eyes reveal anticipation and excitement. This half-demon seems more eager for the upcoming battle than anyone else.
"Are you ready, Bai Cang?" Xuan Xiaowei looked down at it, her gaze as firm as steel.
Bai Cang let out a deep roar, as if responding to her, and also seemed excited for the upcoming battle.
At that moment, a figure quietly approached her from behind. It was XuanYuan ZhanYue, dressed in a black robe, with a stern face but a hint of imperceptible concern in his eyes.
"Are you sure you want to go in? Last time you came out all covered in injuries, and you had to rest at the Doctor's office for a full three days before you could get up again," he said in a calm tone, but couldn't hide his worry.
Xuan Xiaowei turned around and locked eyes with XuanYuan ZhanYue. She smiled and said, "How can there be progress without moving forward? Previous pain is only temporary, but strength and experience will continue to accumulate."
In an instant, XuanYuan ZhanYue understood that this girl possessed an indomitable spirit and a strong desire for knowledge.
He smiled slightly, patted Xuan Xiaowei's shoulder, and said, "Then be careful and remember to use your newly learned skills, especially the 'Frostbite Cold Frost Slash'."
"Thank you, ZhanYue. Don't worry, I got this," Xuan Xiaowei replied softly, then turned and walked towards the entrance of the simulated site.
Bai Cang also followed closely behind, but before entering, it suddenly turned back and glared at XuanYuan ZhanYue, as if reminding him not to get too close to Xuan Xiaowei. XuanYuan ZhanYue appeared indifferent, smiling at it.
simulated site Inside was a darkness, as if enveloped by endless void. This specially designed site for the first level is meant to test the reaction and abilities of Sect members.
Xuan Xiaowei stood at the entrance of the site, facing various obstacles and challenges constructed by light and shadow techniques. A gust of cold wind blew through, tousling her hair, but it didn't disturb her sharp gaze.
"This time, I must succeed," she muttered to herself, gripping the Sky Piercer Sword tightly in her hand. The blade instantly emitted a faint blue light, as if it could cut through anything.
Stepping forward once more, she found that the terrain had changed shape. It now resembled a forest, but the trees were all made of hard steel, and the leaves were shining quartz pieces. The ground was also covered with various hidden traps disguised as natural elements.
"Are you ready? Bai Cang," she whispered to the small white tiger on her shoulder— Bai Cang.
Bai Cang just let out a soft growl, with a vigilant gleam in its eyes.
After passing through the first trap area, Xuan Xiaowei arrived at an area that resembled an ice cellar. The ground was covered with ice like an ice rink, and huge ice pillars would occasionally fall from the sky.
"Sky Piercer Sword Art - Frost Snow Condensation!" She swung her sword through the air, and the sword light condensed into an ice shield, successfully blocking the falling ice pillar.
However, at this moment, an invisible chain suddenly shot out from the ice, moving at an extremely fast speed, almost too quick to react to.
"Watch this! Sword Art of the Sky Piercer Second Style—Frostwing!" She swiftly swung her sword, and the sword light transformed into icy crystal wings, instantly severing the chain.
"This time, I will never fall again," she thought to herself.
Finally, Xuan Xiaowei arrived at the final level of the simulated site. It was a huge cliff made of rocks, with a stone monument at the top that read "finish line."
To reach it, she had to pass through a narrow path made of rotating stone slabs. Each slab was constantly spinning, and the distance between them was very far.
" Sword Art of the Sky Piercer Fifth Form - Frost Moon Illuminates the Sky!" she shouted, as the sword light condensed into a huge moon, illuminating the entire stone pathway.
Taking a deep breath, she began to carefully step onto the first stone slab.
One step, two steps, three steps...
The light under the stone slabs is dim, like the mist of the night.
Xuan Xiaowei took a deep breath and silently repeated to herself, "Just a little bit further."
At the moment her toe touched the last stone slab, the entire space seemed to freeze. Suddenly, a thunderous sword light tore through the night sky from the stone monument in front, aiming straight for her heart.
Her pupils dilated in an instant, and only two words remained in her mind: "Not good!"
But it was already too late for a reaction.
In this life-and-death moment, a soft white light suddenly shot out from the pendant on her chest, fiercely colliding with the sword light.
The energy fluctuations surrounding the intersection of the two beams of light caused the surrounding air to distort as if being pulled, emitting a loud noise.
Xuan Xiaowei paused for a moment, then turned to look at Bai Cang, her white tiger.
It turned out that this magical little spirit pet had protected her in its own way. A loving light flashed in Bai Cang's eyes.
"You, although you talk tough, are quite reliable at critical moments." Xuan Xiaowei showed a hint of a smile, bent down and gently patted Bai Cang's head, "Thank you, Bai Cang."
Looking at the stone tablet in front of her again, Xuan Xiaowei deeply felt that all these challenges and difficulties were to make herself stronger.
She raised the Sky Piercer Sword high and walked towards the stone monument with "The End" written on it, her eyes filled with determination. With each step, she felt a tremor in her heart.
"I did it, Xiao Bai. I did it!" she couldn't help but shout, as if wanting to release all the excitement in her heart.
Like this, Xuan Xiaowei successfully passed the challenges of the first and fifth levels of the simulated site, and also won more confidence and strength for herself.
YueYing Palace Master - Xuanli stood in the shadows, quietly observing everything.
She had just been about to reach out and save the immature girl. Fortunately, Bai Cang stepped in just in time and saved her life.
"This white tiger is quite unexpected," murmured YueYing Xuanli.
I used to think that this white tiger would be willful and disobedient, even wanting to run away, but now it seems that Bai Cang also enjoys being with Xuan Xiaowei.
"It seems that the fate of the Pure Moon Sect this time should go smoothly." YueYing Xuanli showed a slight smile and quietly disappeared into the shadows.
Xuan Xiaowei felt like someone was watching her, but when she turned around, she didn't see anything.
The door of the simulated site closed tightly, and Xuan Xiaowei and Bai Cang entered into another dim forest environment.
The sound of rustling leaves and the gentle breeze creating a shushing sound as it passed through the leaves were particularly noticeable in this enclosed space. Even though it was a simulation, every detail here was so realistic that it was difficult to distinguish.
"Alright, Bai Cang, let's look for the monsters here," Xuan Xiaowei encouraged the white tiger as they slowly ventured deeper into the heart of the forest.
Before long, a gloomy atmosphere permeated the air, as if something was quietly approaching them. Xuan Xiaowei tightened her grip on the Sky Piercer Sword, staying alert.
"Reveal yourself, I know you're there!" Xuan Xiaowei shouted.
Then, a strange creature with multiple heads and fish scales suddenly jumped out from the shadows, roaring terrifyingly from its mouth.
"It looks like we've encountered a monster, Bai Cang," Xuan Xiaowei said in a low voice to Bai Cang, then drew the Sky Piercer Sword and immediately enveloped the monster with a Frostbite Cold Frost Slash.
The monster let out a miserable scream and struggled in pain. But it still tried to launch a final attack, rushing towards Xuan Xiaowei.
At this critical moment, Bai Cang suddenly pounced from the side and fiercely bit one of the monster's heads with his teeth.
"What an opportunity!" Xuan Xiaowei instantly understood and thrust his sword into the monster's heart with all his might.
The monster let out a miserable scream, and its body instantly turned into a puddle of black smoke, disappearing without a trace.
"Good job, Bai Cang," Xuan Xiaowei patted Bai Cang's head, feeling very relieved. "With you here, I feel very at ease."
At this moment, the door of the simulated site suddenly opened, and XuanYuan ZhanYue and YueYing Xuanli were standing at the door, with a look of pleasant surprise.
"It's worthy of the goddess clan. Successfully slaying the demon, although it's just a simulation, it's not easy to take this step, especially without having received any training since childhood," YueYing Xuanli said with a smile. "It seems that our high expectations for you were not in vain."
Xuan Xiaowei heard the praise from Xuanli elder, and a confident smile appeared on her face, with a determined light shining in her eyes. "Thank you for your affirmation, but all of this is also thanks to Bai Cang's help and ZhanYue's guidance," she said, turning to look at Bai Cang with gratitude in her eyes.
Bai Cang, on the other hand, put on an indifferent appearance, but the slight wag of his tail revealed his inner joy.
"This is just the beginning, there is still a long way to go," XuanYuan ZhanYue interjected, his tone revealing seriousness and solemnity. "Although your power has shown potential, it is far from reaching the level of the goddess."
Xuan Xiaowei nodded, understanding the encouragement in ZhanYue's words. "Thank you, ZhanYue. I will continue to work hard and not disappoint everyone's expectations."
Xuanli elder Smiling and observing Xuan Xiaowei, there is a hint of satisfaction in his eyes. "Good, since you have this determination, then our Pure Moon Sect will fully support you. This test is just the beginning, the real challenge is still ahead."
Xuan Xiaowei took a deep breath, filled with determination in his heart. "No matter how many difficulties lie ahead, I will forge ahead bravely."
"That's good," nodded the Xuanli elder as he turned and left the simulated site.
Xuan Xiaowei and Bai Cang exchanged a smile, both filled with anticipation and confidence for the future.
