The cold, chilling laughter of the shadow echoed like a demon's voice from the depths of the underworld, resonating in Xuan Yang's ears and causing him to tremble uncontrollably. A wave of icy dread surged from his spine to his mind, leaving him feeling horrified and shivering.
Xuan Yang struggled desperately to rise, but he was shocked to find his body felt as if it were filled with heavy lead, utterly immobile. No matter how hard he exerted himself, he could not move an inch.
"Who... exactly are you?" Xuan Yang gritted his teeth and forced the words out from his throat, but his voice had become hoarse and unpleasant, like a worn-out bellows gasping for breath.
In response to Xuan Yang's question, the shadow remained silent.
He slowly crouched down, his pitch-black eyes resembling an unfathomable abyss, emanating a chilling light that made one’s heart race. He stared intently at Xuan Yang, as if trying to peer directly into the depths of his soul.
"The powerful force hidden within you is gradually awakening."
Finally, the shadow spoke, his voice deep and magnetic, akin to a highly venomous snake revealing its fangs. It sent shivers down Xuan Yang's spine and filled him with dread.
At these words, Xuan Yang's heart jolted. An indescribable fear surged within him.
He knew well that there was a monumental secret concealed within him, one that could completely alter the trajectory of his life once revealed.
The shadow slowly extended a hand clad in a black glove that looked ominous and terrifying, resembling the claw of a monstrous spirit.
As he moved closer, the gloved hand inched toward Xuan Yang's neck.
In a critical moment of life and death, a brilliant flash of fire suddenly erupted, striking towards the shadow with lightning speed and forcing him to retreat several steps.
It was Qu Si Yang who had arrived just in time to save him!
Holding her staff with fury and determination in her eyes, she stood before Xuan Yang like a guardian angel.
"Do not harm him!" Qu Si Yang's voice rang clear and firm, echoing like thunder in the air.
The shadow let out a cold laugh, its figure darting like a ghost through the flames, evading Qu Si Yang's attacks.
"Little girl, your power is still too weak," the shadow's voice whispered like a hellish echo, filled with disdain and mockery.
Qu Si Yang ignored the taunt, her staff swirling faster in her hands as fiery attacks shot forth like a meteor shower towards the shadow.
However, the shadow moved too quickly, like a bolt of black lightning weaving effortlessly through the flames, untouched by even a hint of harm.
Damn it! How am I supposed to fight this? Qu Si Yang felt a surge of anxiety but found herself powerless.
Suddenly, an ancient voice rang out, booming like a bell, resonating in the air.
"Stop!"
It was Lu Zhiyuan!
He stood high above, clad in a gray robe, his hair white yet his face youthful, resembling an enlightened sage while emanating an elusive aura.
The shadow halted its assault and turned to face Lu Zhiyuan, a flicker of wariness crossing its eyes.
"Old Village Chief, you finally decided to show yourself," the shadow's voice dripped with sarcasm.
Lu Zhiyuan paid no heed to the mockery; he simply gazed at the shadow with complex emotions in his eyes, as if hiding some secret.
"Shadow, why are you attacking our village?" Lu Zhiyuan's voice was deep and powerful, carrying the weight of judgment.
The shadow sneered and replied, "I merely want to reclaim what belongs to me."
"What belongs to you?" Lu Zhiyuan furrowed his brow, a hint of confusion flashing in his eyes.
"Indeed," the Shadow nodded, saying, "the Heart of the Puppet Master."
Xuan Yang's heart trembled; he understood that the "Heart of the Puppet Master" mentioned by the Shadow was the source of power hidden within him.
"The Heart of the Puppet Master is the guardian spirit of our village. You will never get it!" Lu Zhiyuan's voice was filled with anger and determination.
The Shadow let out a cold laugh and replied, "Then let's see about that."
As soon as the words left his mouth, the Shadow flickered and lunged at Lu Zhiyuan like a wraith.
Lu Zhiyuan was already prepared; a simple Puppet Master made of rope appeared in his hand. The Puppet Master moved with the agility of a living creature, blocking the Shadow's attack.
The two engaged in battle instantly, their figures flashing like lightning as they clashed in mid-air, producing a series of thunderous sounds.
Seeing this, Qu Si Yang quickly led Xuan Yang away from the battlefield to a safe place.
"Xuan Yang, are you okay?" Qu Si Yang asked with concern.
Xuan Yang shook his head and replied, "I'm fine."
His heart was filled with confusion and unease, unsure of how this battle would end.
He looked up at the two fighting in the sky and silently prayed, hoping that Lu Zhiyuan could defeat the Shadow and protect the safety of their village.
Suddenly, Lu Zhiyuan's voice echoed again like thunder, resonating through the air.
"The trial mission has officially begun!"
Xuan Yang's heart jolted as an inexplicable premonition surged within him. He knew that this trial would change his fate.
The Shadow was taken aback, not understanding Lu Zhiyuan's intentions.
Lu Zhiyuan did not explain; he simply waved his hand, and a powerful force sent the Shadow flying.
The Shadow crashed heavily to the ground, spitting out a mouthful of blood, his eyes filled with shock and resentment.
"Old Village Chief, you..." The Shadow struggled to speak but could not find the words.
Lu Zhiyuan ignored him and turned to the young ability users in the village, his voice deep and powerful.
"Children, now is the time for you to prove yourselves."
The young ability users exchanged glances, unsure of what had just happened.
Lu Zhiyuan continued, "To protect our village and to seek the lost Heart of the Puppet Master, I have decided to initiate the trial mission."
"Trial mission?" The young ability users were puzzled.
Lu Zhiyuan explained, "The trial mission is designed to test your strength and courage. Only those who pass the trial will be qualified to become the guardians of the village."
"The Heart of the Puppet Master is our village's guardian spirit. Only by finding it can we strengthen our defenses against external threats."
Hearing this, the young ability users were filled with excitement and eagerly expressed their willingness to participate in the trial.
Lu Zhiyuan nodded and said, "Very well, I will arrange for someone to lead you to the trial grounds."
"Remember, only those who pass the trial can become true heroes."
With that, Lu Zhiyuan turned and left, his figure gradually disappearing into the night.
Xuan Yang watched Lu Zhiyuan's departing figure, filled with confusion and unease.
He did not know what challenges this trial would bring him.
But he understood that he had to participate in this trial, to protect his village and to seek his destiny.
As night deepened, a tense atmosphere enveloped the village.
The young psychics were all preparing for the trial, their hearts brimming with anticipation and excitement, yet also filled with fear and anxiety.
Xuan Yang was also getting ready for the trial, silently sensing the power within him. He knew that this trial would change his life forever.
Would the shadows appear once more?
What secrets did Lu Zhiyuan hold?
Where was the heart of the Puppet Master?
All these mysteries would be revealed in the trial.
