656. Chapter 654 I Am Not Afraid

Zi Xi'er clenched her fists, "Lu Yuan, you're amazing!"

Su Liyan also wore a satisfied smile: "Your strength never ceases to amaze me."

Lu Yuan smiled and thanked them: "Without your support and encouragement, I could not have achieved all this."

Lu Yuan displayed the Pure Heaven Dew in his hand to everyone, and everyone praised it repeatedly.

They felt extremely proud and honored of Lu Yuan's abilities and achievements.

Zi Xi'er excitedly clenched her fists, her eyes full of admiration for Lu Yuan.

"Lu Yuan, you're amazing!"

Zi Xi'er said excitedly.

Su Liyan also smiled broadly and congratulated him: "Your strength never ceases to amaze me."

Lu Yuan smiled and thanked them: "Without your support and companionship, I could not have achieved all this."

Amidst the hustle and bustle, someone suddenly hurried into the Lei Huo Dan Ge.

Everyone turned around and saw that it was Yun Ze.

Yun Ze coldly stared at Lu Yuan, his eyes full of hostility.

He was one of the outstanding outer sect disciples of Heavenly Wind City, and there had long been rivalry and conflict between him and Lu Yuan.

"Lu Yuan, congratulations on successfully refining the Pure Heaven Dew."

Yun Ze curled the corner of his mouth with a sinister smile: "I heard you also plan to participate in the assessment mission; let me tell you, the mission is to defeat five demon clan members in the Demon Realm Forest."

"What's interesting is that the time limit is only half a month."

"Let's see if you can successfully become an ordinary disciple as you wish!"

Everyone hearing this news was stunned.

The Demon Realm Forest is an extremely dangerous place, not only inhabited by various fierce beasts and demons, but also harboring powerful demon clan members.

Lu Yuan furrowed his brows, sensing Yun Ze's plot.

Su Liyan tightly gripped the Ice Crystal Long Whip, her eyes showing determination.

Zi Xi'er glared angrily at Yun Ze: "Yun Ze!"

"You are scheming against Lu Yuan!"

Yun Ze proudly laughed: "Exactly so."

"Do you think just because you refined the Pure Heaven Dew you can be invincible everywhere?"

"Now let him experience what a real test is."

Lu Yuan calmed down, looked at Yun Ze, and said: "Do you think the mission is very difficult?"

"Then let's see who can become an ordinary disciple."

Although he had some understanding of the mission's difficulty, he feared no challenge.

Zi Xi'er said with a determined expression: "Lu Yuan, we will definitely complete the mission."

Su Liyan also added without yielding: "Our strength is already strong enough."

Lu Yuan felt everyone's support and trust, knowing that together they could overcome any difficulty.

Lu Yuan set down the Pure Heaven Dew in his hand, gazed at Yun Ze's cold stare, and a hint of determination flashed in his eyes.

"Yun Ze, do you think just because the mission is difficult you can defeat me?"

"I will not fear any challenge." Lu Yuan said firmly.

Yun Ze curled the corner of his mouth with a hint of mockery: "Lu Yuan, don't be overconfident, after all the Demon Realm Forest is a place full of dangers."

"How about we make a bet? If you cannot complete the mission and advance to ordinary disciple within half a month, you will hand over the Lei Huo Dan Ge to me."

After hearing Yun Ze's words, everyone fell into silence.

They knew the danger of the Demon Realm Forest, and also realized this was the greatest test for Lu Yuan.

Zi Xi'er tightly clenched her fists, her eyes flashing with determination.

"Lu Yuan doesn't need to bet with you; we will definitely complete the mission."

Su Liyan's cold voice rang out: "No matter how difficult the mission, we believe in Lu Yuan."

Lu Yuan smiled and nodded: "Thank you for your support and trust."

He deeply knew that no matter how difficult the challenge, as long as there is team strength, he would not feel lonely or hopeless.

The Supreme Dao Ancestor stepped forward with his usual steady gait, his face solemn as he said: "The Demon Realm Forest is full of the unknown and danger; no matter what, please stay vigilant."

"I will lead you into the Demon Realm Forest to specially train your combat response abilities."

At the same time, while Lu Yuan was preparing to participate in the Profound Heaven Sect assessment and gather necessary supplies, he noticed the sound of a noisy crowd coming from the edge of Heavenly Wind City's plaza.

"Come on! Today is an opportunity for everyone to display their strength."

The External Affairs Elder excitedly announced the mission details: "The assessment period is within half a month; defeat five demon clan members in the Demon Realm Forest."

"Whoever completes the task within the allotted time will be promoted to ordinary disciple."

Upon hearing the External Affairs Elder's words, Lu Yuan felt a surge of eagerness to participate in the assessment.

He understood that through this assessment he could improve his practical combat skills and accumulate rich experience.

"Senior Brother Zhang Yuan, may I ask how to effectively navigate the Xiuzhen Jie?"

"Are there any precautions to take?" Lu Yuan earnestly asked Zhang Yuan.

Zhang Yuan smiled and said: "The Xiuzhen Jie is full of dangers; when traveling, one must always stay vigilant;"

"Before entering the Demon Realm Forest, first understand its geographical environment and types of hazards;"

"In battle, one needs to use appropriate immortal techniques and killing methods based on the enemy's characteristics."

Lu Yuan recalled Zhang Yuan's analysis of practical combat techniques in the Xiuzhen Jie in his mind, and determined his next plan.

He decided to first return to Lei Huo Dan Ge to gather the supplies needed for the journey and backup pills, while organizing the team for close cooperation training.

The Lei Huo Dan Ge on Lingzhi Slope was bustling with activity, and the all-encompassing sounds of preparation filled the entire hall.

Zi Xi'er and Su Liyan busily prepared the needed items for Lu Yuan, moving back and forth among the crowd.

Lu Yuan picked up the metal sword hilt flashing with lightning-fire sword patterns and tapped it twice, doing so more swiftly than before.

After taking a deep breath, he gazed at everyone with determined eyes.

"Although the task is difficult, as long as we work together in unity, victory will surely belong to us."

Lu Yuan's voice was confident and resolute.

Zi Xi'er smiled and said, "Lu Yuan, we are by your side; no matter what difficulties we encounter, we will fight alongside you."

Su Liyan's eyes flashed with determined light: "We will give our all to complete the mission."

Lu Yuan felt the warm support from the team, and his heart was filled with endless motivation.

He knew that behind this mission lay both a test and an opportunity.

Only by challenging oneself and honing one's strength can true growth be attained.

While Yun Ze and the others anxiously awaited Lu Yuan's appearance, he had already avoided the main road and was leisurely walking along a tranquil country path.

Soon after, Lu Yuan stood at the gate of Baiyun Town, gazing upon this commercially prosperous city with crowds flowing like a woven tapestry.

He could feel the bustle and vitality here, but he could also see some chaos and unease within the city.

This reminded him of the "Cangqiong Business League" mentioned earlier.

Lu Yuan decided to first explore this city and seek out some necessary supplies in preparation for the Xuantian Gate assessment. (End of chapter)
