This inheritance only allows youths from Fenghai Province to participate, and the genius youths participating in the trial need to arrive at Zhen Sheng City in advance.

Once the inheritance is activated, and after confirmation and extrapolation that a formal inheritance truly exists, people will be sent in immediately to undergo the trial and seize the inheritance as early as possible to prevent forces from other provinces from seeking excuses to intervene.

Although such extrapolation cannot gather too much information from inside, only a vague outline is available, and there is no guarantee of complete safety inside.

But... where in the world is there anything that is 100% safe?

An inheritance at the Six-Star Peak can keep risks within a safe line; such an opportunity is already exceedingly rare.

Now, the Celestial Ladder Mountain Secret Realm is a Tier Three restricted secret realm. This indicates that almost all the genius youths at the "Three-Star" stage in Fenghai Province will be gathered here, meaning the Jiang Family, Tu Family, Great Dream Sect... many sects and family clans, including even the almost legendary Southern Saint Sect, will send their contemporary geniuses—who will be opponents at next year's Lin Guang Province competition—to compete for this inheritance.

At such a grand event, all the prominent forces in Fenghai Province have sent True Men to ensure safety, and even if something unexpected truly happens, they should be able to provide timely assistance.

This is a grand stage, a stage far bigger than the Zhen Sheng City's final exam, and even more so a rehearsal, a dress rehearsal for next year's league.

"..."

At this moment, Lin Guang hadn't had a chance to speak when a sudden sensation made him turn his head to look at Chelina standing behind him.

The wolf-ear girl's orange-red eyes were fixed on him, and for some reason, she took the initiative to nod gently.

Vishdair and Lisa, sitting on the sofa, also revealed expressions of eagerness.

Their freshly trained skills and mystical techniques made their hands itch to move!

Therefore, there was no need for further words.

Taking a deep breath, Lin Guang nodded solemnly, "Thank you, Director Kong, for granting me this slot."

"If I am fortunate enough to seize the first prize, when I have the capability, I will solidify this inheritance to contribute to the inheritance of Great Xia."

"No need for formalities," Kong Guofeng smiled and waved his hand, "All of this is achieved by you and your partners."

"So, in the coming period, stabilize your realm. If you have any needs, just let me know."

After Lin Guang left.

This True Man stood up and looked out the window.

"An era of great competition..."

He seemed to see, at this moment, the renowned sects and family clan geniuses that had already begun their journey to Zhen Sheng City.

Even though there is a high probability that the inheritance does not involve direct combat, Lin Guang is going to face those individuals who stand nearly at the pinnacle of their province, able to overlook almost all their peers and people of the same realm.

This is undoubtedly immense pressure.

But...

The same could be said in reverse.

Have those genius youths psychologically prepared themselves for facing a terrifying monster like Lin Guang?

He was quite looking forward to it.

...

On the way home, Vishdair walked beside Lin Guang, her tail waggling, fists clenched, an excited expression on her delicate face: "Next, we definitely have to blast those guys into the sky one by one! I just learned something new and was worried about having nowhere to use it!"

"Regarding inheritance... it's uncertain whether there will be opportunities for direct confrontation, because, generally speaking, it's difficult to confirm the content of the inheritance in advance, so we mostly have to rely on adaptability."

Lin Guang dampened the enthusiasm a bit, "According to those materials I've seen, the challenges left by powerful figures from other worlds are varied and may not necessarily test combat abilities. There's a significant probability that comprehensive attributes will be tested, and it might not allow carrying external items. The inheritor might be isolated to prevent a satisfactory inheritor from being teamed up against and swept out."

The silver-haired girl let out a huff of disappointment, losing interest: "If I can't blow people up, what's the point..."

"It's not guaranteed there won't be tests of combat power, but in any case, if you decide to participate, you must go all out."

"Do you even need to ask?"

The girl's emerald green eyes showed a hint of laughter, grasping Lin Guang's hand and hugging it: "Lisa will also try her best!"

Chelina also nodded: "Your will."

Lin Guang silently glanced at the wolf-ear girl, the corners of his mouth raising slightly.

During a previous moment of solitude in the small room, Chelina, lying in his embrace, had softly spoken.

With Lin Guang's support, she barely managed to liberate herself from the unknown terror and numbness towards "Boss", finally being able to think rationally about strategies concerning herself and the Divine Heart Association.

The task at hand was actually straightforward and didn't conflict with Lin Guang's goals.

From any perspective, the more weight Lin Guang held, the more attention he attracted, the naturally safer he would be.

As long as the forces invested enough value in Lin Guang, they would certainly pay more attention to protecting his safety in order to ensure their investment wasn't wasted.

This way, regardless of who the real identity of the BOSS is, as long as the cost of acting against Lin Guang is too high for the opposing party to bear, guarding Lin Guang through this period until he becomes strong enough would naturally dispel the crisis.

Lin Guang thought her argument made complete sense.

And at this moment, the inheritance provided an excellent opportunity to showcase himself to these powerful figures.

Beside her, Chelina was also slightly lost in thought.

She was contemplating deeper issues in her heart.

After another one or two acupuncture sessions, her body could fully recover.

This not only meant she was about to return to her peak state, but also signified that the deadline for Kaiwen and the boss to act would soon arrive.

For the safety and future of Lin Guang, she could no longer keep the secret.

So…

After the inheritance concludes, under the protection of all the True Men and with everyone watching, it will be the last and best opportunity to reveal Kaiwen's true face to him.

Even if Kaiwen and that mysterious boss are present, they will definitely not act recklessly.

This will give Lin Guang ample time and opportunity to choose new protectors. Although this would undoubtedly be a huge blow to Lin Guang, it is still better than realizing Kaiwen's harm later.

Looking at the three people in front of her chatting and laughing, in Chelina's beautiful orange-red eyes, there was an unconcealable softness.

All her anger and murderous intent were buried deep in her heart, transforming into the firmest will and sharpness.

Under no circumstances can she allow someone as hypocritical as Kaiwen any chance to harm Lin Guang, or this family.

No matter what, she must protect them.

...

Celestial Ladder Mountain Secret Realm, Thousand-Mile Icefield.

Whoosh———

A frenzied snowstorm accompanied by a turbulent flow of ice attribute ether swept across a ten-mile radius, with heavy snow continuously falling within this range.

At the very center of this chaos, the sound of swords clashing and beasts roaring could be heard continuously, with not even the fierce winds able to cover the palpable coldness and fighting spirit.

The weaker nearby spirit beasts had long fled from this place—even the ice attribute spirit beasts risk freezing to death in even colder frosts.

But…

One person was still struggling to trudge forward, trying to keep up with the slowly moving battlefield.

That was Leng Shengnan, just a kilometer away from the battlefield.

She maintained a state of bonding with Xiao Jiu, her body covered in gorgeous light blue armor, wielding the now-evolved Cold Heaven Sword. Her angular face was already covered with frost, yet her sky-blue eyes were dazzlingly bright, never losing sight of the massive Chi Dragon on the battlefield and the silhouette and sword light entwined with it.

That was Bai Wu, who had ascended to be an Ancient Martial Spirit Master, engaged in a death battle with a Cyan Cold Chi Dragon over a hundred meters long.

This battle had already lasted for almost an entire night, while Leng Shengnan had chased after them for the entire night.

Half a month ago, on this vast icefield, Bai Wu finally allowed his Ice Fairy to merge with himself, evolving into the Ice Brave, and Leng Shengnan's Ice Sword Spirit successfully evolved into the Cold Heaven Sword.

Thus, he began leading Leng Shengnan in search of opponents.

Along the way, as many as six Tier Five Peak entities fell under his sword, including two ferocious magical beasts that attacked together, yet Bai Wu still managed to achieve victory, narrowly each time.

He became gradually accustomed to his newly acquired powers, slowly regaining the feeling from years ago.

And seemingly due to excessive killing, disrupting the balance, Bai Wu finally attracted the overlord of this place…

A Five-Star Peak Chi Dragon, almost perfectly attuned and resonant with the surrounding environment, barely a step away from ascending to Beast King.

And this was precisely the opponent Bai Wu was looking for, someone that could put life-threatening pressure on him.

Thus, the battle began.

Logically speaking, if neither side specialized in defense, such a death battle should conclude rather quickly.

But…

This place had an extremely dense concentration of ice attribute ether, allowing Bai Wu and the Chi Dragon to recover from injuries and exhaustion almost immediately under the near-endless supply of ice attribute ether.

Thus, it turned into a long-drawn war of attrition.

Time in this tense death battle seemed unnaturally prolonged.

Fight.

Keep fighting.

The frenzied aftershocks continuously spread from where the two confronted each other.

Roar!!!

At this moment, the Chi Dragon, over a hundred meters long and covered in dark cyan scales, showed no sign of fatigue but instead roared ferociously, suddenly arching its scaled spine. A vortexing storm instantly formed and expanded around it, engulfing that seemingly insignificant figure.

But in the next moment, a certain colder chill severed it.

That was Bai Wu's sword intent!
