The sound was like an ancient bell that shook Chu Yan’s soul.

In all four directions, the elemental powers of various colors that were about to go berserk suddenly returned to calmness.

Lan Luhu was the same. The signs of transforming into a tiger were also gradually declining, and he returned to a normal person.

Both were surprised, especially Lan Luhu, who asked sternly, “Old man, what are you doing? I’m just sparring with someone. What does it have to do with you?”

The old man did not respond and just looked up at Lu Benwei. After a long time, he let out a heavy sigh.

“I’m so disappointed. I thought someone would pass my test.”

Lu Benwei and the others all had strange expressions on their faces. They all knew what the old man’s test was. It seemed like they only needed to carry him and walk a distance.

However, even the strongest of them, Lu Benwei, could not pass the test, let alone the rest of them?

Chu Yan pointed at Lan Luhu and defended Lu Benwei. “They’re deliberately causing trouble! Lu Benwei was already at the finish line!”

The old man coldly glanced at Chu Yan. “Really? Why didn’t I know?”

Chu Yan was so angry that she puffed up her cheeks. She took a few big steps and picked up the palm-sized stone.

“Look, it’s this rock. They threw it. Otherwise, this annoying fellow would’ve already completed your so-called test. Besides, they kept calling you ‘old man’. Are you not teaching them a lesson?”

Hu Taotao and Lan Luhu’s faces flickered with a strange look. At this moment, they could all tell the identity of the old man.

Just now, Lan Luhu had spoken rudely to the old man. He would surely be severely punished.

The old man just glanced at the stone and then looked at Lu Benwei with contempt. “Even this stone can trip you. What are your eyes for? My old bones are about to fall apart because of you.”

Then, he looked at Chu Yan, then at Hu Taotao and Lan Luhu.

“As for what you said, these two people are rude to me, Chu Yan. I didn’t know about it!”

Chu Yan was dumbfounded. She almost thought that the old man was related to Hu Taotao and Lan Luhu.

As for Hu Taotao and Lan Luhu, they let out a long sigh of relief and looked at Chu Yan with ridicule.

Lu Benwei awkwardly grinned and said, “I’m sorry, old man. I’m not capable enough.”

“Hmph!” The old man snorted and turned his head away.

Chu Yan could not help but feel anger well up in her heart. She clenched her fists and said, “It’s not your fault, you don’t have to apologize to this old man! Today, I’ll make him give you an explanation!”

After saying this, Chu Yan rolled up her sleeves and stepped forward aggressively, ready to fight.

“You’re the people who came to participate in the starry sky path secret realm trial, right?” The old man cleared his throat.

As soon as he said this, Chu Yan was directly ignored. Chu Yan’s mood at this time was like a fist hitting cotton, and she had no way to vent her energy.

“Yes!” Lu Benwei and the others replied.

‘So, this secret realm trial is called the starry sky path,’ After Lu Benwei answered, he thought to himself.

The old man knocked on the concrete floor with his walking stick and motioned for them to line up.

Hu Taotao and Lan Luhu were on the far left, followed by Li Tiancheng, Wang Zining, Chu Yan, and Lu Benwei.

The old man’s gaze began to focus on the few of them. The first one was Hu Taotao.

“Level 48, thorn assassin. Not a bad class,” the old man commented.

Hu Tao smiled proudly and glanced at Lu Benwei and the others with contempt.

The next one was Lan Luhu. The old man raised his head and looked at Lan Luhu from head to toe.

“Beast warrior, second-stage class change absorbed the berserker wind tiger. That’s the king of tiger-type beasts!”

The old man’s words were a compliment to Lan Luhu.

Lan Luhu raised his nose, then bowed and cupped his hands. “Many thanks for senior’s praise.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Lan Luhu looked at Lu Benwei and the others with a teasing look.

It was Li Tiancheng’s turn! At first glance, the old man let out a heavy sigh!

“Do you know what the nature of the unparalleled swordsman’s desire to be strong is?” The old man’s voice was extremely stern.

Li Tiancheng was stunned for a moment, then he shook his head and said, “I don’t know,”

“It’s independence!”

The old man’s tone was still very stern!

“It’s the unique one who is unparalleled in the world! It’s a unique skill that leads the pack! If you want to master all your skills, you won’t be able to achieve anything great!”

The old man’s ruthless words suppressed Li Tiancheng.

It was Wang Zining’s turn. The old man ruthlessly pointed out her flaw again.

“It’s not good to only leave a path for you by walking the path of your predecessors! I’ve lived my entire life in the shadow of my predecessors.”

Wang Zining was stunned for a moment, then she cupped her hands in thanks.

Meanwhile, Hu Taotao and Lan Luhu were extremely pleased with themselves. They were the only ones who had received the old man’s praise.

The old man continued to walk forward until he was in front of Chu Yan.

“Hmph!”

Chu Yan snorted and turned her head away. The old man sighed as if he did not see it. His voice did not sound disappointed or resentful. On the contrary, it sounded rather pitiful.

“You have the same issue as your friend, but you’re a little different. You want to step out of the path that your family has set for you, but you’re lost. You want to find your own path.”

He raised his hand as if he wanted to stroke Chu Yan’s hair. However, after some thought, the old man lowered his hand and continued, “You’ve found it too, but you’re not sure if this is the path you’re going to take.”

After a pause, the old man said in a low voice, “Child, don’t worry and just step on it. Don’t look back.”

...

The old man looked at Lu Benwei. After another sigh, the old man returned to his original position with the help of his walking stick.

Lu Benwei and the others felt a bit strange. Why did it change so much when it came to Lu Benwei?

“That’s simple.” Lan Luhu sneered. “He’s just a magician. What’s there to talk about?”

After a pause, he looked at the old man. “Senior, in my opinion, don’t let this magician enter the secret realm. It’s troublesome. We still have to take care of his safety!”

The old man shook his head and said, “That’s wrong. Since you have done something for Canglong City and saved the people of the city, you naturally have the right to enter the secret realm.”

Lan Luhu snorted, rolled his eyes, and turned away.

The old man cleared his throat and said, “All right, children, come with me to the boat.”

After saying that, he took out a sailboat, which looked very delicate.

“It’s so small. How are we supposed to get on it?” Hu Taotao asked in surprise.

As soon as she finished speaking, the old man lowered the sailboat to the bottom of the fountain. It was also at this moment that the yin and yang fish at the bottom of the pool became bigger.
