Chapter 623

Mo Di nodded in agreement, "I will fully cooperate with your actions."

The three quickly discussed countermeasures, then decided to launch action using each of their strengths.

Lu Yuan is responsible for reconnaissance and enemy analysis, Su Liyan for support and protection of the two, while Mo Di is responsible for launching attacks and disrupting the enemy.

The group acted in unison, Lu Yuan leading them through the mist; with his detection, they could timely avoid the pits set by Xueying.

Soon, the group arrived at the battlefield.

The yao and ghost clans were locked in fierce battle, the scene chaotic.

Lu Yuan raised his hand and pointed; a bolt of thunderfire lightning shot out, forming a huge thunder‑electric barrier in the air that completely blocked the enemy's assault.

Su Liyan wielded the Ice Crystal Long Whip, cold icy light swirling around her.

She swiftly circulated the Jade‑Cold Ice Shard, granting power to her strength.

Mo Di transformed into a giant dragon, lunging at the yao and ghost clans.

He swung his powerful dragon claws, driving back the enemies.

Facing numerous enemies, Lu Yuan felt a surge of unyielding courage.

He fearlessly leapt into the battle, wielding the Heavenly Gang Thunder Fire Sword.

The three cooperated seamlessly, displaying superb techniques and immortal arts, revealing limitless potential in combat.

At times they cut down enemies with crushing force; at times they subverted spatial rules to evade attacks, showing extraordinary power and wisdom.

As time passed, the enemies were gradually driven back.

Lu Yuan, Su Liyan, and Mo Di held the Tian Ting border, successfully thwarting Xueying's plot to conquer Tian Ting.

Inside the Lei Huo Dan Ge, Lu Yuan was conducting his final practice in a secret chamber.

He held the Heavenly Gang Thunder Fire Sword, and by mobilizing his inner true essence, the blade emitted a scorching red light.

His brows furrowed slightly, his eyes revealing a hint of anxiety and pressure.

After they successfully thwarted Xueying's scheme against Tian Ting, the inner‑door disciple examination drew near, and Lu Yuan realized he needed to work harder.

Suddenly, Su Liyan stepped lightly into the chamber, standing silently beside Lu Yuan.

"Lu Yuan, the examination will start in a few days," Su Liyan said gently.

Lu Yuan lifted his head, gave a small smile, "Yeah, I know."

Su Liyan gazed at Lu Yuan's hand holding the thunderfire sword, her tone encouraging, "Don't be too nervous or worried."

"You have already made great progress."

"After that incident, your cultivation and combat skills have both noticeably improved."

Lu Yuan nodded, "Mm."

"The application of the Five Elements Escape Armor Art and the Heavenly Gang Big Dipper Formation, I have become more adept at."

"At the same time, I have earned more respect and recognition from the sect and powerful figures."

Su Liyan smiled, "Yes, you are becoming ever more outstanding, already the focus of many participants."

"I believe you will surely achieve good results in the examination."

Lu Yuan lightly gripped his thunderfire sword, a flash of determination in his eyes.

"Thank you for your encouragement, Su Liyan."

"I will do my best to give my best performance," Lu Yuan said.

The two exchanged smiles, their hearts filled with confidence.

Lu Yuan and Su Liyan sat in the Hall of Stars, awaiting the imminent examination, shoulder to shoulder waiting for the announcement of the topic.

The Hall of Stars is spacious and bright, lavishly decorated, with walls hung with precious immortal‑arts manuals and divine artifacts.

Lu Yuan clenched his fists, feeling nervous yet eager.

He hoped this examination would showcase his ability and prove his worth.

After the Xueying incident, he realized the sect's expectations of him had risen.

This examination is his chance to prove himself to everyone.

Su Liyan watched Lu Yuan's slightly furrowed brow, knowing his heart was full of pressure.

She gently patted his shoulder, "Don't worry too much, believe in yourself."

Lu Yuan turned his head to look at Su Liyan, smiling, "Why are you so confident?"

Su Liyan also smiled, "Because I know you have ability."

"Not only that, through our previous seamless cooperation and training, I believe we can face any challenge."

She lightly tapped her forehead with her hand, "Moreover, I will support you all the way, no matter what we face."

Lu Yuan felt Su Liyan's encouragement and support, his tension gradually easing.

"Thank you, Su Liyan."

"Your words give me more confidence to face this examination."

Su Liyan smiled and replied, "We have always been seamless partners; mutual trust and support are our consistent approach."

The two continued to exchange their insights and inquire about the examination content and information on other participants.

As they communicated, Lu Yuan learned that this examination not only requires senior cultivators to participate, but also involves a comprehensive strength assessment.

This made him feel more nervous and full of challenge.

"It seems this examination really isn't easy," Lu Yuan said.

Su Liyan lightly tapped the back of his hand, "Don't fear difficulties, believe you can cope."

"No matter what happens, we will face it together," she said with a determined expression.

The doors of the Hall of Stars slowly opened; Lu Yuan and Su Liyan walked out, and everyone's gaze turned toward them.

Zi Xi'er and Mo Di were already waiting at the door.

"The examination is about to begin; we need to discuss our next action plan." Zi Xi'er said.

The four quickly gathered together and began to discuss.

"According to our previous intelligence, the enemy organization is likely hiding in the Forbidden Land Mountains."

Su Liyan said, "We should prioritize speed and first infiltrate their base."

Mo Di nodded, "I have an immortal technique that can help us quickly cross this mountain range."

Lu Yuan then reminded, "However, it's said that many demon beasts roam the Forbidden Land Mountains; everyone must stay vigilant."

Zi Xi'er's eyes flashed with determination, "We will naturally not be careless."

"The safety of our sect is at stake; we will surely defeat them with our utmost strength!"

After the four finished their discussion, they immediately set out.

They had just stepped out of the Star Chamber when they felt a powerful and ancient aura rush over them.

This is the aura exuded by Heavenly Wind City as an important city in the Xiuzhen Jie, revealing its prosperity and solemnity.

Lu Yuan and Su Liyan walked side by side through the city, feeling their minds at peace and full of confidence.

This examination is an excellent opportunity for them to prove their abilities to everyone.

While waiting for the examination to begin in the Star Chamber, the two sat side by side awaiting the announcement of the topic.

The Star Chamber is a venue specially used for holding important events and examinations; countless outstanding disciples have trained here.

At this moment, the two guarding it together symbolizes that new and old legends are about to succeed one another.

In the cultivation chamber of the Star Chamber, Lu Yuan and Su Liyan sat in a tranquil environment, immersed in their final meditation. (End of chapter)
