Chapter 411: How Could I Possibly Fail?

Guo Yao, seeing this, ran over excitedly and hugged Li An tightly: "You're amazing, Li An! I knew you could do it!" Tears sparkled in her eyes, and a smile of happiness and pride beamed across her face.

Li An gently patted Guo Yao's back and said softly: "With you by my side, how could I possibly fail?" His eyes were filled with love and gratitude.

Ukitake Rukia also walked over. Looking at Li An, the doubt in her eyes had vanished, replaced by a hint of admiration: "I didn't expect you to actually do it; it seems I underestimated you." She nodded slightly to show her respect to Li An.

Li An smiled and said: "Actually, I was just lucky." Though his tone was humble, the look of triumph on his face could not be concealed.

The surrounding Soul Reapers gathered around, looking at Li An with eyes full of awe and admiration. "He actually managed to decipher the ancient formation; this is unprecedented!" "Yes, this Li An is indeed extraordinary!" The Soul Reapers' murmurs rose and fell, and Li An became the center of everyone's attention.

In the dim sky, heavy clouds like a giant cotton quilt pressed down heavily upon the earth, as if they would collapse at any moment. Strange mist permeated the surroundings; in this mysterious trial ground, everything seemed so oppressive.

Li An knelt on one knee, panting heavily. Sweat slid down his cheeks continuously, dripping onto the dusty ground and vanishing instantly. His chest heaved violently. The trial he had just completed had consumed too much of his strength and energy, yet excitement and satisfaction sparkled in his eyes. After long hours of arduous training and fierce battles, he had finally successfully completed the trial, his rank had increased, and he had become a High-Level Man-Weaver.

"I did it..." Li An murmured to himself, his voice carrying a hint of relief after exhaustion. He slowly stood up, stretched his sore muscles and bones, and felt the surging power within his body. However, just as he was immersed in the joy of success, an abnormal fluctuation emanated from within him.

Li An's face instantly turned deathly pale. He widened his eyes in terror because he discovered that the spiritual energy within his body had begun to surge wildly out of control. "What is happening?" he cried out in his heart, and cold sweat broke out all over his forehead.

The spiritual energy, like a runaway horse, crashed wildly through his body, each surge accompanied by excruciating pain. Around his body, the spiritual energy frantically darted about, emitting a "zzzz" sound, forming visible whirlpools of spiritual energy. The surrounding environment was also impacted by this powerful spiritual energy; the ground began to tremble violently, trees were uprooted and flew wildly in the air, emitting "creak creak" sounds of breaking.

Ukitake Rukia stood not far away, her eyes filled with vigilance and tension. Her hands gripped her Zanpakuto at her waist tightly, ready to deal with any danger that might arise. Her brows were knitted tightly together as she pondered silently in her heart: "This Li An, how could his spiritual energy suddenly go out of control? What exactly is happening?"

"Li An, are you okay?" Guo Yao ran over from a distance, her face full of anxiety. Her eyes were filled with worry. When she saw Li An's pained expression, her heart suddenly tightened, and tears swirled in her eyes. "Don't scare me!" she shouted loudly, her voice trembling with sobs.
