Chapter 121 The Lotus Dissipates
Chapter 121 The Lotus Dissipates
Time passed minute by minute, and Qi Tongwei and Li Tianming finally solved all the runes. The lotus dissipated, and the lake returned to calm.
"You have passed the test of wisdom." Shenlong's voice was full of praise. "The last level is the test of strength."
The lake water suddenly boiled, and streams of water shot up into the sky, turning into countless water dragons, rushing towards Qi Tongwei and Li Tianming.
"Is this a test of strength?" Li Tianming clenched his fists, his eyes flashing with fighting spirit.
"Yes." Qi Tongwei nodded, "We must use our own strength to defeat these water dragons."
The water dragon roared and pounced on the two. Qi Tongwei mobilized the spiritual power in his body, condensed it into sword energy, and rushed towards the water dragon. The sword energy collided with the water dragon, and a thunderous roar broke out.
Li Tianming used his unique skills and punched the water dragon like wind and thunder, with each punch carrying infinite power.
The two fought side by side, facing countless water dragons without flinching. Qi Tongwei's sword energy was like a rainbow, and every sword strike seemed to be able to split the sky and earth. Li Tianming's fist power was like thunder, and every punch he threw out carried infinite power.
However, the number of water dragons seemed endless. Just after repelling one wave, a new one came. Although Qi Tongwei and Li Tianming persisted, they gradually felt the consumption of spiritual power and physical fatigue.
"Brother Qi, I'm afraid this is not a solution for us to continue." Li Tianming said while shaking his fist and breathing heavily.
Qi Tongwei's eyes flashed with determination: "We must find the source of these water dragons. Only by completely solving the source can we truly pass this level."
Li Tianming nodded, shook his fists, and dispersed the water dragons in front of him: "Okay, let's find the source together."
The two walked side by side, following the direction of the water dragon. Finally, they found a huge whirlpool on a small island in the center of the lake, with water dragons constantly pouring out of the whirlpool.
"So this is the source of the water dragon!" Qi Tongwei's eyes flashed with a cold light, "We must destroy this vortex."
Li Tianming roared, mobilized all his strength, and punched the vortex. But the vortex only shook slightly, and the water dragon continued to gush out.
"It seems that force alone cannot destroy it." Qi Tongwei frowned, "We must find the core of the vortex."
At this moment, a clear voice came: "Do you need help?"
Qi Tongwei and Li Tianming looked back and saw a girl in green standing by the lake, smiling at them. The girl had a slender figure and beautiful face, holding an antique short sword in her hand, looking heroic.
"Who are you?" Qi Tongwei asked vigilantly.
"I am a disciple of Qinglong Valley, my name is Lin Xueer." The girl smiled, "I am also here to participate in the Divine Dragon Trial."
"Lin Xueer?" A hint of surprise flashed in Li Tianming's eyes. "Qinglong Valley is a legendary sect. I didn't expect to meet your disciples in this trial."
Lin Xueer smiled slightly: "This trial has indeed attracted many experts. But right now we should solve this vortex first."
Qi Tongwei nodded: "Do you have any solution?"
Lin Xueer walked forward and observed the vortex carefully: "This vortex is formed by the spiritual power of water attribute. As long as we can find its core and destroy it, we can completely solve the problem of water dragon."
"Then what should we do?" Li Tianming asked.
Lin Xueer looked up at the sky with her eyes slightly closed, as if she was feeling something. After a moment, she opened her eyes with a firm gaze: "The core is in the center of the vortex, but it is protected by powerful spiritual power. We need the three of us to work together to destroy it."
"Okay, let's go together!" Qi Tongwei and Li Tianming said in unison.
The three of them stood at the edge of the vortex, circulating their spiritual powers at the same time. Qi Tongwei's sword energy, Li Tianming's fist power, and Lin Xueer's water-attributed spiritual power merged together, turning into a powerful beam of light that shot straight into the center of the vortex.
The vortex vibrated violently, and the water dragons dispersed one after another. Finally, the core of the vortex was revealed. It was a crystal ball that emitted a faint blue light.
"That's it!" Lin Xueer shouted and rushed towards the crystal ball first.
Qi Tongwei and Li Tianming followed closely behind, and the three of them attacked at the same time, with powerful attacks bombarding the crystal ball. The crystal ball shook violently, and finally broke apart with a loud bang, turning into countless fragments that dissipated in the air.
As the crystal ball shattered, the whirlpool gradually subsided and the lake returned to calm. The dragon's threat was completely resolved and the three finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"You have passed the test of strength." Shenlong's voice sounded again, with a hint of praise, "The three of you have joined forces to show true strength and wisdom. Now, you can obtain my inheritance."
A golden light descended from the sky, covering Qi Tongwei, Li Tianming and Lin Xueer. The three of them felt that their spiritual power increased rapidly, as if they had broken through some kind of shackles and reached a new realm.
"Is this the inheritance of the dragon?" Li Tianming said in surprise as he felt the changes in his body.
Qi Tongwei closed his eyes, feeling the powerful force in his body, his heart filled with gratitude and awe: "Thank you, Senior Shenlong."
Lin Xueer also smiled slightly: "This trial is really worth it. I feel very honored to fight side by side with the two of you."
The figure of the dragon gradually disappeared, leaving only the last words: "Remember, strength is not everything. A truly strong person needs wisdom, courage, and the support of his companions. I hope you can remember today's lesson and go further."
The three of them looked at each other, and they all had a deep understanding in their hearts. After this trial, they not only gained strength, but more importantly, they understood the true way of cultivation.
"Brother Qi, what are your plans next?" Li Tianming asked.
Qi Tongwei's eyes were deep: "I plan to return to the sect and share my experience of this trial with everyone. Only when we grow together can we truly become stronger."
Lin Xueer nodded: "Qinglong Valley also needs this kind of experience, I will also tell the sect about this."
Li Tianming laughed: "Then let's work hard on our own and look forward to seeing you next time."
The three of them said goodbye to each other and set off on their journey home. After Qi Tongwei returned to the sect, he shared his experience and insights from this trial with his fellow disciples, and everyone benefited a lot. After this trial of the dragon, he not only became stronger, but also understood the true meaning of cultivation.
As time went by, Qi Tongwei continued to advance on the path of cultivation and eventually became a legend. His name spread throughout the cultivation world and became an idol and role model in the hearts of countless people.
