The ground shook violently once more.
Xuan Yang struggled to steady himself, warily scanning his surroundings.
A larger black creature emerged from the depths, exuding an overwhelming sense of pressure that made it hard to breathe.
"The second trial begins!" The voice echoed again, laced with a hint of mockery.
Xuan Yang gritted his teeth, knowing that this battle would be even more challenging.
He commanded the shadow to launch an attack on the creature.
The shadow surged forward like a tide, but it could not penetrate the creature's tough skin.
The monster let out a deafening roar, swinging its massive claws and tearing the shadow apart.
Xuan Yang's heart sank; he realized that this creature had formidable defenses, rendering ordinary attacks ineffective.
He needed to find another way.
Observing the monster closely, he sought its weakness.
He noticed a red mark on the creature's abdomen, seemingly its vulnerable spot.
He directed the shadow to concentrate its attacks on the monster's belly.
The shadow lunged like a sharp spear towards the monster's abdomen, yet it still failed to break through its defenses.
The monster let out a painful roar and angrily charged at Xuan Yang.
Xuan Yang quickly dodged, narrowly avoiding the creature's attack.
He knew he had to find a way to breach the monster's defenses quickly, or he would undoubtedly meet his demise.
He closed his eyes, focusing his mind and feeling the power surging within him.
He sensed a peculiar connection between himself and the shadow.
He could manipulate the shadow and merge with it.
A bold idea emerged in his mind.
Taking a deep breath, he infused his consciousness into the shadow.
He felt himself transform into the shadow, becoming an intangible presence.
He could freely navigate through the darkness and change forms at will.
Once more, he launched an attack at the monster's abdomen.
This time, his strike pierced through the creature's defenses and penetrated its body.
The monster let out a piercing scream before collapsing to the ground, its body gradually dissipating.
"Congratulations, you have passed the second trial," the voice echoed again, tinged with a hint of surprise. "You have demonstrated extraordinary talent."
Xuan Yang opened his eyes, feeling an overwhelming surge of power within him.
He knew he had begun to master the ability to manipulate shadows.
Leaving the Shadow Realm, he returned to the real world.
He found himself still in the dilapidated temple.
Rising to his feet, he stretched his body and felt significantly stronger than before.
Clenching his fists, confidence radiated from his gaze.
He understood that he was becoming stronger step by step, inching closer to the truth.
As he exited the crumbling temple, he saw Village Chief Lu Zhiyuan standing at the entrance, looking anxious as he awaited his return.
"Xuan Yang, are you alright?" Lu Zhiyuan asked with concern.
"I'm fine, Village Chief," Xuan Yang replied. "I have awakened my powers."
Hearing this, a look of relief spread across Lu Zhiyuan's face.
"That's great, Xuan Yang," Lu Zhiyuan said. "You have awakened your special ability."
"Village Chief, I want to know, who exactly am I?" Xuan Yang asked.
Lu Zhiyuan sighed and replied, "Xuan Yang, your origins are a secret I cannot disclose."
"I understand, Village Chief," Xuan Yang said. "But I need to know something."
After a moment of silence, Lu Zhiyuan spoke again, "One of you and Si Yang must be the reincarnation of the Puppet Master."
Xuan Yang was taken aback. "Why is it me and Si Yang? There are so many children in the village."
He had long suspected that his background was unusual, but he never imagined he would be the reincarnation of the Puppet Master.
"What is the Puppet Master?" Xuan Yang asked.
"The Puppet Master is the guardian of this world," Lu Zhiyuan explained. "He is also the only one capable of opposing the Shadow Forces."
"The Shadow Forces?" Xuan Yang inquired.
"The Shadow Forces are the greatest threat to this world," Lu Zhiyuan said. "They seek to control it and turn it into their own Puppet Master."
"I understand now, Village Chief," Xuan Yang declared. "I will stop them."
Lu Zhiyuan nodded and said, "I believe with your current abilities, you can do it, Xuan Yang."
Suddenly, a commotion arose from a distance.
"What’s going on?" Lu Zhiyuan asked.
"I'll go take a look," Xuan Yang replied.
Xuan Yang ran towards the direction of the disturbance.
He saw a group of villagers surrounding a girl, pointing at her and murmuring among themselves.
"It’s her, it’s definitely her! She is the culprit behind the strange occurrences that have disrupted our peaceful lives!"
"Capture her and hand her over to the Village Chief for punishment!"
Xuan Yang focused his gaze and realized it was Si Yang.
Anger surged within him as he rushed forward, positioning himself protectively in front of Qu Si Yang.
"What do you want?" Xuan Yang shouted furiously.
"Xuan Yang, you've awakened your powers too!" Qu Si Yang exclaimed with surprise.
"Si Yang, are you alright?" Xuan Yang asked with concern.
"I'm fine," Qu Si Yang replied, "it's just..."
"What do you mean?" Xuan Yang asked.
Qu Si Yang hesitated for a moment and said, "It's just that they say I am the culprit behind the strange phenomenon, that I am the source of the chaos in the village."
Hearing this, Xuan Yang felt even angrier.
He turned to the villagers and shouted, "What evidence do you have to prove that she caused the phenomenon?"
The villagers exchanged glances, too afraid to speak.
At that moment, Village Chief Lu Zhiyuan approached.
"What’s going on?" Lu Zhiyuan asked.
"Village Chief, they say Si Yang is the culprit behind the strange phenomenon," Xuan Yang replied.
Lu Zhiyuan looked at Qu Si Yang and asked, "Si Yang, do you have anything to say?"
Qu Si Yang shook her head and said, "I don’t, because I don’t know what they are talking about."
Lu Zhiyuan pondered for a moment and said, "Si Yang was born during a celestial event, but I have said before that it is an omen of good fortune, not chaos."
"Village Chief!" the villagers shouted in dissatisfaction.
"Shut up!" Lu Zhiyuan roared. "This matter ends here."
The villagers, though dissatisfied, did not dare to defy the Village Chief's orders and had no choice but to disperse.
Xuan Yang let out a sigh of relief. He turned to Qu Si Yang and asked, “Si Yang, are you alright?”
Qu Si Yang shook his head and replied, “I’m fine, thank you, Xuan Yang.”
Xuan Yang smiled and said, “That’s good to hear.”
Suddenly, he felt a new weight of responsibility on his shoulders.
Not only did he need to protect Qu Si Yang, but he also had to safeguard the entire village.
He clenched his fists, determination shining in his eyes.
He knew that his mission was just beginning.
At that moment, a loud bang echoed from afar…
