Wang Xiaoqiang did not give the demon species a chance to breathe, immediately unleashing the Power of Enlightenment of the Holy Path of Courage. After casting the spell, a shadow of the Sacred Confucian appeared above the character for courage.

The Sacred Confucian's image was distinct, with a solemn and majestic face, sacred and inviolable. In one hand, he held a magic wand; in the other, a scripture that opened itself in his grasp. He intently gazed at the scripture and began to chant its verses. His chanting was solemn and majestic, with an invisible pressure and an aura intolerant of violation, surging forth with the chanting and enveloping the demon species as his magic wand swung.

This aura was the Power of Enlightenment.

"Hmm, this isn't right. The Sacred Confucian seems to have an extra magic wand in his hand, which seems to make the Power of Enlightenment more powerful, heavier, and more accurately targeted toward its object..." Wang Xiaoqiang activated the Power of Enlightenment to enlighten the demon species while secretly marveling at the magic wand in the Sacred Confucian's hand.

"Could it be that the Power of Enlightenment strengthens as the Holy Path of Courage grows? The lightning within the character for courage grew in power after the last Heavenly Tribulation, doubling its might. The strengthening of the Power of Enlightenment should have coincided with that growth..."

Once enveloped by the Power of Enlightenment, the extremely arrogant demon species calmed down, then showed a look of remorse, as if having committed a heinous crime, displaying an expression of suffering and regret. Subsequently, under the weight of remorse, its demon body trembled, tears trickled from the corners of its eyes, unable to contain itself...

Finally, under the calling of the Holy Path of Courage, the demon species was fully enlightened, becoming exceptionally docile, eliminating any hostility towards Wang Xiaoqiang, the wielder of the Power of Enlightenment, and developed a sense of awe and admiration. Ultimately, it collapsed with a thud, prostrating deeply before Wang Xiaoqiang, treating him as a master, completely submitting to him.

What should have been a battle was thus resolved. What should have been a fierce fight was pacified. Seeing that the demon species was enlightened, becoming his puppet, Wang Xiaoqiang discreetly let out a breath of relief, delighted beyond measure. Yet, he maintained a stern demeanor, spoke, "Alright, from now on, you will follow me. You resemble a dragon, yet also a snake. From now on, you will be called the Dragon Serpent Great Demon."

Saying this, Wang Xiaoqiang withdrew the Holy Path of Courage, taking back the character for courage into his body, along with two spheres of Light of Joy.

The demon species raised its head upon hearing this, astonished that it could speak, "Yes, thank you, master, for the name."

Wang Xiaoqiang did not expect the Dragon Serpent Great Demon to speak, and was even more delighted. In truth, this Dragon Serpent Great Demon has the body of a snake and a human head capable of human communication, which was quite logical.

"Haha, didn't expect you could talk," Wang Xiaoqiang laughed and said, "So, Dragon Serpent Great Demon, hand over the Checkpoint Token you're carrying..."

"As you command, master." The Dragon Serpent Great Demon responded, reaching out with its demon hand across its body and instantly withdrew the Checkpoint Token, presenting it with both hands to Wang Xiaoqiang.

Wang Xiaoqiang took the Checkpoint Token, looked at it. This was the fourth Checkpoint Token he had obtained, proving he had passed four checkpoints,

Four checkpoints, this achievement should be considered medium or above average?

He secretly rejoiced within his heart, then threw that Checkpoint Token into the Sumeru Ring.

Seeing Wang Xiaoqiang subdue the Dragon Serpent Great Demon and obtained the Checkpoint Token, while Patterned Beast, Ge Laoda, and Little Yin issued joyful cries, appearing exceedingly excited. It seemed they celebrated for Wang Xiaoqiang, as though cheering for the addition of a new member to the team. They circled around the Great Human-Snake Demon, continuously observing it, emitting friendly low hums.

"Alright, Dragon Serpent Great Demon, I now command you to lead the way and help me pass the checkpoint," Wang Xiaoqiang said.

"As you command!" The Dragon Serpent Great Demon complied, then crawled and ran forward along the path leading to the checkpoint, with Patterned Beast, Ge Laoda, and Little Yin following.

Wang Xiaoqiang walked at the end, having garnered the Dragon Serpent Great Demon as a puppet, adding a new member to the team, thereby strengthening his team, Wang Xiaoqiang was naturally overjoyed,

Moreover, the strength of the Dragon Serpent Great Demon far surpassed that of Patterned Beast, Ge Laoda, and Little Yin. The strength of Dragon Serpent Great Demon could match his own strength,

With the Dragon Serpent Great Demon, he was filled with confidence about crossing the checkpoint, and also brimming with confidence regarding the future path of cultivation,

Thinking of the Dragon Serpent Great Demon naturally drew his thoughts to the Power of Enlightenment of the Holy Path of Courage, he could not help but murmur to himself, "Hmm, it's clear that the Power of Enlightenment has strengthened compared to before, otherwise it might not have been able to enlighten this Dragon Serpent Great Demon. Hmm, the power of the Holy Path of Courage must be augmented further in the future, otherwise, it might not be able to enlighten stronger demon species."

Although the fourth checkpoint was eventually passed smoothly, obtaining the Checkpoint Token exhausted a lot of time,

This Hundred Battles Fierce Chamber is a crypt, dark as an abyss, time is indiscernible. To achieve better results, Wang Xiaoqiang did not slacken, continued without pause along the way, not knowing how far he traveled, finally arriving at the fifth checkpoint.

At the fifth checkpoint, an adversary was an evil demon.

The evil demon was entirely pitch-black, as though crawling out from a gray pit, its massive eyes were blood-red, occasionally emitting eerie red light. Its pitch-black body was surrounded by a layer of black smoke, more of a black smoke vortex upon its shoulder, within the vortex was a shining object—the Checkpoint Token.

To seize that Checkpoint Token, the evil demon must be slain.

Seeing the challenger arrive with a pet beast and three puppets, such a formidable lineup surprised the demon, especially upon perceiving the strength of the Dragon Serpent Great Demon, presenting significant pressure.

Although the evil demon was very powerful, more so than the one Wang Xiaoqiang encountered at the third checkpoint.

The demon, despite the pressure, showed no intention to retreat, its eyes swept over to Wang Xiaoqiang, the blood-red eyes shooting two rays of eerie red light. When those rays hit Wang Xiaoqiang's body, the formidable energy pressure made Wang Xiaoqiang feel a burden on his body, but he did not hesitate, instantly with a thought, ordered the pet beast and puppets to besiege the evil demon.

Dragon Serpent Great Demon, Patterned Beast, Ge Laoda, and Little Yin formed a cornered stance, trapping the evil demon within. Dragon Serpent Great Demon unleashed reverse spines and demon tail, Patterned Beast's eight magic arms transformed, Ge Laoda's bone talisman released, launching a fierce assault towards the evil demon.

One punch cannot defeat four hands; no matter how strong the demon's strength, it was ultimately outmatched, not a worthy opponent, continuously retreating under the relentless assault.

Seeing the demon retreat, Wang Xiaoqiang did not take the initiative to fight but instead sat down to rest. Watching quietly, waiting till the moment arrived.

The battle continued, although the demon continuously retreated, it relied on its powerful physical body to withstand blow after blow, and while huge, the demon's large body was exceptionally agile, like a phantom stealthily floating around, leaving it unpredictable.
