Hungover, I crossed over to the psychic realm

Lin Yu and Li Qiang were sucked into this mysterious space by a powerful and invisible force. That force was like a turbulent undercurrent. When they were off guard, it suddenly swept them in. The two of them felt as if the sky was spinning and the earth was turning. Their bodies rolled and spun uncontrollably along with this force. The surrounding scenery changed rapidly like a moving lantern, making them dizzy. The wind howled in their ears, as if there were countless invisible hands pulling at them, preventing them from stabilizing their figures. Lin Yu closed his eyes tightly, and his stomach churned violently. The feeling of weightlessness and loss of control made him almost vomit. Li Qiang's face turned deathly pale, and he waved his hands in the air futilely, trying to grab something to steady himself.

Under the entrainment of this force, their bodies fluttered like fallen leaves in the wind. Lin Yu held the Taichu Divine Sword in his hand tightly. His grip on the hilt was so tight that his knuckles turned white. Although he knew that this might not be able to resist this mysterious force, his instinct made him hold onto this last support. His knuckles turned white due to the exertion, and there were even slight bloodstains on the base of his thumb from the rubbing of the hilt. Li Qiang quickly formed seals with his hands, trying to cast an ice-based spell to stabilize himself. However, the spell was like a faint flame in the face of this powerful force and was instantly extinguished. A trace of panic flashed in his eyes, but it was quickly replaced by determination.

I don't know how long it took, but they finally landed heavily on a solid ground. Lin Yu and Li Qiang got up in a sorry state, gasping for air, and vigilantly looked around. The space was filled with a rich spiritual power that was almost tangible. This spiritual power floated in the air like a thin veil. When reaching out to grab it, it seemed as if one could hold a handful of it. The rich spiritual power made their breathing smoother. Their meridians in the body also slightly warmed up under the nourishment of the spiritual power, and the fatigue gradually dissipated. Lin Yu took a deep breath and felt a cool spiritual power go straight to his dantian along his respiratory tract. His whole body was soaked in this spiritual power, and his originally sore muscles gradually regained their vitality. Li Qiang closed his eyes and felt the spiritual power wandering in his body, secretly marveling at the wonder of this mysterious space in his heart.

Countless sparkling gemstones were inlaid on the surrounding walls. These gemstones were of different sizes and shapes, and each one emitted a unique light. They intertwined with each other, illuminating the entire space as bright as day. The light of the gemstones was either soft or dazzling, forming a series of strange light and shadow patterns on the walls. Sometimes it was like flowing river water, and sometimes it was like burning flames, changing unpredictably. Some gemstones flashed with a deep blue light, like a profound ocean; some emitted a golden light, like the rising sun. These lights intertwined and reflected each other, creating a dreamlike atmosphere.

In the center of the space, there was a bead emitting a soft light, which was exactly the second Spirit Pearl they had been searching for so hard through countless hardships. The Spirit Pearl hovered in mid-air, rotating slowly. The light it emitted was as gentle as moonlight but contained endless energy. The moment they saw the Spirit Pearl, a trace of surprise flashed in Lin Yu and Li Qiang's eyes. After months of difficult searching and countless close brushes with danger, now that the Spirit Pearl was right in front of them, victory seemed within reach. Excitement flashed in Lin Yu's eyes. He took a step forward, as if he couldn't wait to hold the Spirit Pearl in his hand. Li Qiang's mouth curved into a slight smile of relief. The hardships of the past few months seemed to be worth it at this moment.

Just as they were about to reach out to take the Spirit Pearl, a huge and illusory phantom suddenly appeared in the space. The phantom appeared without any warning. In an instant, the originally bright space seemed to be shrouded in a layer of shadow, and the temperature dropped sharply. In the phantom was an old man dressed in a black robe. His figure was tall and ethereal, as if he would disappear into the air at any moment. His eyes revealed endless majesty and mystery. Just making eye contact with him made people shudder. The old man's face had distinct features. The years had left deep marks on his face, but it also gave him a temperament of having experienced many vicissitudes of life. His white hair was as white as snow and casually draped behind him. Each strand of hair seemed to contain countless stories.

The old man slowly opened his mouth and said that if they wanted to obtain the Spirit Pearl, they had to pass a series of tests set by him. His voice was low and deep, as if it came from the distant horizon, echoing throughout the space. Every word was like a sledgehammer hitting Lin Yu and Li Qiang's hearts.

"You two have come for this Spirit Pearl," the old man's voice sounded leisurely. "But this Spirit Pearl is by no means easy to obtain. It carries the secrets and power of this world. Only those who are truly qualified can possess it."

Lin Yu and Li Qiang exchanged a glance and saw determination and resolve in each other's eyes. Months of adventure and countless life-and-death tests had already made their wills as hard as steel.

"Senior, we are willing to accept the test," Lin Yu took a step forward and said loudly, his eyes revealing fearless courage. His voice was firm and powerful, echoing in this mysterious space.

Li Qiang also followed closely behind and nodded in agreement: "No matter what the test is, we will not back down." There was an unyielding spirit in his eyes, as if declaring their determination to the old man.

The old man nodded slightly, and a trace of imperceptible admiration flashed in his eyes: "Very good. I hope you won't let me down."

As soon as the words fell, a huge stone door suddenly appeared in the space. The stone door was engraved with strange runes and patterns. These runes flashed with a strange light, as if telling an ancient incantation. The stone door slowly opened, and a stale and mysterious aura rushed towards them. This aura was mixed with the precipitation of time and unknown mystery, making people unable to resist the urge to explore.

"The first test is to enter this stone door," the old man's voice sounded again. "Inside the door are the things you fear most deep in your hearts. Only by overcoming your fear can you pass the test."

Lin Yu took a deep breath and took the lead in walking towards the stone door. His steps were firm. Although there was some uneasiness in his heart, what was more was his desire for the Spirit Pearl and his curiosity to explore the unknown. Li Qiang closely followed behind him, secretly gathering an ice-based spell in his hand just in case. His fingers trembled slightly, not because of fear, but because of the excitement and tension of facing the unknown challenge.

The moment they stepped into the stone door, the surrounding scenery changed instantly. They found themselves in a dark swamp. A thick fog filled the surroundings, and they couldn't see anything clearly. There were bursts of low roars in their ears, as if there were countless giant beasts hidden in the darkness waiting for them. Lin Yu's heart rate involuntarily increased. He gripped the Taichu Divine Sword tightly and vigilantly stared around. There was a trace of tension in his eyes, but what was more was determination and calmness.

Suddenly, a huge tentacle violently stretched out from the fog and lashed towards him. Lin Yu quickly sidestepped to dodge. The tentacle brushed past his clothes, bringing up a strong gust of wind. He took a closer look and saw that the tentacle was as thick as a tree trunk. Its surface was covered with mucus, emitting a nauseating stench. Then, more tentacles stretched out from all directions and surrounded them. These tentacles waved like flexible pythons, constantly launching attacks.

Li Qiang quickly cast an ice-based spell. Streaks of ice walls rose around them, temporarily blocking the attacks of the tentacles. However, these tentacles seemed to be endless, surging wave after wave. Lin Yu and Li Qiang fought fiercely, and their clothes were soaked with sweat. In the intense battle, Lin Yu suddenly realized that these tentacles were exactly the embodiment of his deep-seated fear of the unknown dangers in the swamp. He gritted his teeth and silently said in his heart: "I can't be controlled by fear."

He concentrated his mind and mobilized the spiritual power in his body. The Taichu Divine Sword bloomed with a dazzling light in his hand. He waved the divine sword, and each wave carried powerful force, cutting off the approaching tentacles one by one. Li Qiang was not to be outdone either. He continuously cast ice-based spells, strengthened the ice walls, and released ice thorns to counterattack the tentacles. The ice thorns were like sharp blades shooting towards the tentacles, leaving streaks of ice marks on the tentacles immediately.

With their counterattacks, the attacks of the tentacles gradually weakened and finally disappeared into the fog. The surrounding scenery changed again, and they found themselves back in the mysterious space, and the stone door had somehow closed.

"Congratulations, you have passed the first test," the old man's voice sounded again. "Next, is the second test."

As soon as the words fell, two huge arenas appeared in the space. On each arena, there was a weapon emitting light hovering. One was a long sword exuding a fiery aura, and the other was a spear flashing with lightning light.

"These two weapons represent strength and speed respectively," the old man explained. "You two, each choose one weapon and have a duel on the arena. Only by understanding the balance between strength and speed in the battle can you pass the test."

Lin Yu and Li Qiang exchanged a glance and both understood the difficulty of this test in their hearts. They stepped onto the arena and each chose a weapon. Lin Yu held the fiery long sword. The sword body was burning hot when he held it, as if there was a ball of fire burning in his hand. A powerful sense of strength was transmitted from the hilt. He could feel the violent power contained in the flames, as if it could turn everything into ashes at any time. Li Qiang picked up the lightning spear. The spear flashed with crackling lightning, and the power of speed surged at the tip of the spear. He shook the spear gently, and the lightning flashed, making a sizzling sound.

The battle was on the verge of breaking out. Lin Yu took the lead in launching an attack. He waved the fiery long sword, and the flames on the sword body, like roaring fire beasts, pounced towards Li Qiang with his movements. Li Qiang held the lightning spear in his hand, and his figure was as fast as lightning. He moved quickly and skillfully dodged Lin Yu's attacks. From time to time, he stabbed out the spear, and the lightning at the tip of the spear flashed, trying to find Lin Yu's weakness.

In the intense battle, Lin Yu found that simply pursuing strength, although the attack was powerful, the speed was insufficient, and it was easy for Li Qiang to dodge. And Li Qiang also realized that only focusing on speed and lacking strength could not cause effective damage to Lin Yu. They began to try to adjust their fighting styles and find a balance between strength and speed.

When attacking, Lin Yu added some ingenious body techniques, making his movements more flexible and increasing his speed to some extent. His figure was as erratic as a ghost, and the fiery long sword in his hand, with its scorching temperature, traced beautiful arcs. Li Qiang, while maintaining his speed, gathered the power of lightning at the tip of the spear to increase the power of his attack. Every time he stabbed out the spear, it carried a powerful electric current, and a burnt smell filled the air.

As the battle progressed, they gradually understood the way to balance strength and speed. Finally, the two of them stopped their attacks at the same time and smiled at each other. They knew that they had passed the second test.

"Not bad. Your understanding is very high," there was a trace of relief in the old man's voice. "Next, is the last test."

A huge magic formation appeared in the space. The magic formation was engraved with complex runes, flashing with a mysterious light. The runes intertwined with each other, forming a mysterious pattern, as if containing the mysteries of the universe.

"The last test is to enter this magic formation and unlock the mysteries within," the old man said. "The magic formation contains powerful power. If you can unlock it, you can not only obtain the Spirit Pearl but also master the secrets of this mysterious space."

Lin Yu and Li Qiang took a deep breath and walked towards the magic formation hand in hand. They knew that this last test would be the most difficult, but they were not afraid at all. The moment they stepped into the magic formation, they seemed to have entered a whole new world, and everything around them was full of unknown challenges. The runes in the magic formation flashed more violently, and a powerful force rushed towards them and enveloped them. And in this mysterious magic formation, what kind of mysteries and dangers were waiting for them, they had no idea. However, the belief in their hearts was extremely firm. They must pass the test and obtain the Spirit Pearl.
