Chapter 624: As long as we give our all, everything is possible

This is the Profound Spirit Sect's training holy land specially prepared for disciples; many heroes and legends from past generations have secluded themselves here to train, hoping to stand out in the assessment.

Lu Yuan wholeheartedly chanted the immortal arts secrets transmitted by his master Supreme Dao Ancestor, word by word as if chanting, his eyes deep and blazing.

His heart filled with longing; in the upcoming assessment he would display his great strength.

Meanwhile, Su Liyan sat quietly, focusing her mind on her Ice Immortal Arts.

In her hands she held a pair of Cold Jade Ice Slices, warm and smooth like treasure, yet cold.

This pair of Fobao could empower her strength, becoming her most reliable support in battle.

Lu Yuan and Su Liyan sat side by side; although they exchanged no words, a tacit understanding and trust arose between them.

They both knew this was their last moment of tranquility; before the assessment began, they had to focus their minds and adjust their states.

Lu Yuan's mind was filled with his master Supreme Dao Ancestor's teachings; those immortal arts secrets circulated endlessly in his thoughts.

He felt his understanding of the immortal arts deepening, his strength continually growing.

He longed to display his talent and potential in the assessment.

Su Liyan, meanwhile, devoted herself entirely to cultivating the Ice Immortal Arts.

She circulated the immortal arts; cold air burst forth, the surrounding air condensing into a thin layer of frost.

The Cold Jade Ice Slices in her hand emitted a faint glow, resonating perfectly with her spirit.

She felt her strength breaking through layer after layer of barriers.

In the tranquil atmosphere, the training chamber was permeated with a sense of solemnity and insight.

Lu Yuan and Su Liyan both knew that in the upcoming assessment they would face various difficulties and challenges.

At dawn, countless flying devices gathered above the Thunder Plains; a huge cloud boat slowly descended.

This was the Profound Spirit Sect's flying treasure used for important events—the Flowing Cloud Boat.

Lu Yuan and Su Liyan tacitly looked up at the sky, witnessing this magnificent sight.

Their emotions were extremely agitated, after all they were about to undergo the first stage of the assessment.

"Yan'er, are you ready?"

Lu Yuan looked at Su Yan with eager eyes; he knew this assessment was very important for them.

Su Liyan smiled and nodded: "Lu Yuan, I have already done my best."

"No matter the result, we must believe in ourselves."

"You're right."

Lu Yuan encouragingly patted Su Liyan's shoulder.

"But I believe we will succeed."

At that moment, other inner sect disciples waiting nearby also boarded the Flowing Cloud Boat one after another.

To stand out among the powerful of many immortal sects is a great honor.

Indeed, Li Qingsong, Wang Xu Hui, and other inner sect disciples appeared one after another in the crowd.

"Lu Yuan, Su Liyan, you've indeed boarded the ship too!"

Li Qingsong walked toward them with an excited expression.

"Yeah, we're ready."

Lu Yuan said confidently.

Wang Xu Hui was different; he stood aside looking somewhat nervous.

"Speaking honestly, I'm a little worried about this assessment."

"Our generation of disciples is too outstanding; the demands on us are high."

Lu Yuan comfortingly patted Wang Xu Hui's shoulder: "It's fine; as long as we give our all, anything is possible."

The atmosphere on the boat gradually grew tense; the inner sect disciples' anticipation and nervousness both peaked at this moment.

The Flowing Cloud Boat slowly rose, disappearing above the Thunder Plains amid everyone's expectant gazes.

Trial Island lies within the Phantom Sea; its environment is complex and changeable, making it very suitable for testing the disciples' adaptability and combat experience.

Lu Yuan leaned silently against the ship's rail, gazing down at the blue sea.

In his heart, a surging fighting spirit was boiling and surging.

Su Liyan also stood beside Lu Yuan, gazing into the distance.

"Lu Yuan, do you think we can win in this assessment?"

Lu Yuan smiled at Su Liyan: "Believe in ourselves, we can definitely do it."

The Flowing Cloud Boat passed through the clouds; as it drew nearer to the Phantom Sea, everyone gathered their emotions and caught their breath.

Trial Island appeared before their eyes, like a mysterious tempting treasure dominating all beings with great power.

The Flowing Cloud Boat slowly descended, emitting a low sound as it gently touched the ground.

As all the inner sect disciples stepped down the stairs onto Trial Island, everyone's nerves involuntarily tightened to the extreme.

"This period will be the place where you can fully unleash what you have learned!"

"Show your strength and talent!"

An elder on the Flowing Cloud Boat announced loudly.

Lu Yuan and Su Liyan tightly held each other's hands, feeling both anticipant and nervous.

They both hoped to draw a favorable marker ball, which would determine their fate in this trial.

The senior elder walked forward with a smile, his gaze sweeping over all the inner sect disciples, and said solemnly: "Fellow disciples, please pay attention."

"Next we will conduct the first challenge—the Choice of Fate."

"Each person must draw a marker ball from this talisman bag personally overseen by me."

The disciples stared intently at the talisman bag in the senior elder's hand, which flashed with mysterious light; their nervousness spread like a wave among them.

Lu Yuan stood quietly at the front of the line, holding the Heavenly Gang Thunder Fire Sword, his gaze calm and steady.

He took a deep breath, focusing his gaze on the talisman bag.

The senior elder encouraged, saying, "Disciples, please let go of your burdens and anxieties."

"This is the choice of fate; after obtaining the marker ball, more challenges await you."

He poured the transparent glass ball into his palm, then placed his hand into the talisman bag and gave it a gentle shake.

In an instant, the sphere inside the talisman bag began to spin irregularly, as if holding infinite possibilities.

Lu Yuan gripped the Heavenly Gang Thunder Fire Sword tightly in his hand, his gaze fixed firmly on the talisman bag.

He could feel the thunder and lightning aura swirling inside the talisman bag, as if awaiting his choice.

Finally, under the tense, waiting gazes of the crowd, Lu Yuan reached out without hesitation and drew a purple marker ball from the talisman bag.

This marker ball contained the thunder and lightning aura, flashing with dazzling light in the sunlight.

It symbolized a special identity and opportunity, eliciting gasps of amazement from the crowd.

And Su Liyan, relying on her innate intuition, confidently reached out under the senior elder's encouragement and drew a white marker ball from the talisman bag.

As the crowd looked at Lu Yuan and Su Liyan, their eyes shone with admiration and respect.

The senior elder smiled and nodded: "Excellent, Lu Yuan and Su Liyan, you have drawn important marker balls."

"No matter the outcome, you have already proven your strength."

Lu Yuan clenched the purple marker ball, feeling an inexplicable sense of alertness.

He gazed upon the surrounding Spirit Thought Valley, sensing a foreign aura. (End of chapter)
