Chapter 531: I Will Definitely Succeed

Li An, clad in a black long robe, stood in the center of the arena. He tilted his head back slightly, feeling the warmth of the sunlight on his face, and took a deep breath to calm his inner emotions. He could feel the pressure from the gazes of everyone around him, yet his eyes were incredibly firm, like stars that never extinguish in the cold night. "I will definitely succeed," he silently repeated in his heart.

At this moment, Allen Walker walked over to Li An's side, patted his shoulder, and showed an encouraging smile on his face: "Li An, go for it! I believe you can do it." Allen's eyes revealed sincerity and trust; although his voice was not loud, it was exceptionally clear in this slightly noisy environment.

Li An turned his head, looked at Allen, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly: "Thank you, Allen. I will not let everyone down." His voice was steady and powerful, carrying a reassuring strength.

Li Na also stepped forward. A gentle smile was on her face, and she held a bottle of potion in her hand, handing it to Li An: "This is a healing potion. Remember to use it if you get injured." Her eyes were full of concern, warming people's hearts.

Li An took the potion and said gratefully: "Li Na, you are always so meticulous."

Just then, a loud bell rang, announcing the start of the trial. Li An immediately put away his smile, his muscles tensed all over, and a hint of alertness appeared in his eyes. His hands raised slightly, and the holy power within his body began to surge slowly, forming a faint golden light around him.

The initial challenge was a group of low-level demons. They lunged at Li An with claws and fangs bared. These demons had various forms; some had sharp claws, while others spewed black flames from their mouths, emitting chilling roars.

Li An was not afraid at all. Relying on the combat experience he had accumulated before, he reacted quickly. His body moved like a ghost, weaving freely through the group of demons. Whenever a demon approached, he would swing the weapon condensed from holy power in his hand. A flash of golden light passed, and the demon would let out a scream, turning into a wisp of black smoke and disappearing.

"This guy is amazing!"

"Yeah, I didn't expect him to handle these demons so easily."

The exorcists around, seeing Li An's performance, all showed surprised expressions and began to whisper among themselves. They had still harbored some doubts about Li An, but at this moment, they had to admit that Li An's strength was indeed not to be underestimated.

However, just as everyone thought Li An would pass the initial challenge smoothly, an accident occurred. Tyki Mikk, a Noah who had hidden his identity and infiltrated the Ruheise Sect, quietly appeared in the dark corner of the trial arena. A strange smile was on his face, and he held a mysterious device in his hand, gently pressing the button on it.

Instantly, the environment of the trial arena underwent a huge change. The originally open arena suddenly produced many traps; the ground began to crack, and black smoke spewed from deep, bottomless cracks. Those low-level demons also seemed to be enhanced by some power, becoming 0.8 times more fierce and powerful.

Li An was startled in his heart and immediately sensed something was wrong. His eyes quickly scanned the surroundings, trying to find the cause of all this. Just then, he saw Tyki Mikk's triumphant smile.

"So it was you who was up to no good!" Li An was secretly angry in his heart, but he quickly calmed down. He knew that anger at this moment could not solve any problems; he had to find a way to deal with the crisis before him.
