The Guardian was a man dressed in black, and he looked very cold. He was armed with a long black sword, and his murderous aura was permeating, as if all people were his enemies.

Ye Ling looked at him with a hint of nervousness in his heart. He could feel the powerful aura emanating from the man, which was daunting. But he was not afraid, he took a deep breath and decided to accept the challenge.

Ye Ling took a deep breath, concentrating all the energy and determination in his heart. He knew that this battle was his biggest challenge in the Tower of Trials, but he couldn't back down no matter what.

The man didn't speak, he still clutched his black sword, as if the whole space was under his control. Ye Ling glared at him, ready to meet his attack.

At this moment, the man suddenly struck. He appeared in front of Ye Ling in an instant, and a wind sword technique hit him. Ye Ling held his sword in his right hand to block the attack, but he felt extremely pressured and was almost repulsed.

"Don't think you've passed me!" The man roared, and then leaned towards Ye Ling. Ye Ling dodged the attack with his keen instincts and skill, but his long sword was cut in half by the man.

Ye Ling straightened his body and stared sharply at the man. He knew that now he had to find a way to crack the man's attack. He carefully observed the man's swordsmanship, looking for weaknesses and loopholes.

That man's sword technique was extremely fast, and Ye Ling barely had any chance to fight back. But he remained alert, dodging the man's attacks while studying his swordsmanship.

Eventually, Ye Ling discovered his opportunity. The man's attacks always followed the same trajectory, nothing changed. Ye Ling caught a small flaw in him in an instant, and swung his sword to attack his side.

The man's body was slashed in an instant, and a wound appeared. He roared in pain and launched an even more ferocious attack on Ye Ling. Ye Ling seemed to be watching a death match, and he used all his strength to counter the man's attack with swordsmanship.

His attack was like the claws of a beast, sending the man back. Ye Ling finally found his chance and slashed down the man's long sword.

"You won." The man clenched his fists and bowed his head, admitting defeat.

Ye Ling felt the pressure in his heart relax, he put down his long sword, turned around, and left here.

That's all there are four floors left!

Zhang Jianbai exhaled a deep breath of turbidity, and just as he was about to follow the steps of the sixth-layer trial tower to the seventh-layer trial tower, a huge aura suddenly poured into his body.

"After the trialist breaks into the seventh layer, the trial tower will replenish the aura lost by the trialist!"

An old voice sounded in Zhang Jianbai's ears, Zhang Jianbai's heart moved, and he suddenly understood!

This is the situation where the disciples of Canglei Academy are unable to reach the seventh layer after their spiritual power is exhausted!

Good humanity!

Zhang Jianbai couldn't help but smile helplessly in his heart, and then walked up the steps, and at this time Ye Ling on the other side was the same, although the two were on both sides, their hearts were filled with infinite battle intent!

The seventh floor has arrived!

Zhang Jianbai observed his surroundings.

The environment of the seventh layer is completely different from the first six floors, and it is full of heavy aura. Zhang Jianbai felt the aura around him, and a look of surprise appeared on his face.

He had been cultivating in Canglei Academy, but the aura here was much stronger than in other places, allowing his cultivation effect to reach a new level.

However, there is another problem here, and that is that the heaviness of the aura can bring great stress to people. Zhang Jianbai stood here, feeling as if he was being pressed down by a huge mountain, and his breathing became heavy.

But he didn't want to waste this opportunity, and he couldn't afford to slack off at every step in the Tower of Trials. He took a few deep breaths, adjusted his condition, and prepared to start the challenge of the seventh layer.

The guardian of the seventh layer is a woman dressed in white. She looked gentle and elegant, but there was a cold murderous aura in her eyes.

"Are you a trialist?" Her voice is crisp, but it makes people feel cool.

Zhang Jianbai nodded, ready to accept her challenge. He sensed that this Guardian was more dangerous than anyone he had ever encountered, as her aura was mysterious and elusive.

Instead of attacking like the Guardians before her, she raised her right hand and waved it slightly.

Zhang Jianbai felt an invisible force coming from her, shaking his entire body trembling. With his strong willpower, he was able to hold his body out of the way.

He knew that this power was her probe of his soul, and if he couldn't withstand it, he would probably be out directly.

The woman didn't move, but her eyes shone mysteriously. Her fingers seemed to be touching something, and Zhang Jianbai didn't know what she was doing.

After a while, the woman let go of her hand and said slowly, "You are very talented, but your soul still has some unknown secrets. If you can solve this problem, you can become a real powerhouse. ”

Zhang Jianbai frowned slightly, he had never heard of any secrets of the soul.

"You just have to go back and find your own answers to get through this." After the woman finished speaking, she disappeared in front of her eyes.

Zhang Jianbai guesses that the challenge of this level is not to be completed through combat, but through his own exploration of self-knowledge. He smiled slightly, then turned and left.

Back on the sixth floor, Zhang Jianbai found a quiet place to calm down and think.

He reminisced about his upbringing and pondered the secrets of the soul that might exist. He thought of a lot of things, and slowly he figured out some ideas.

His soul was growing all the time, and every experience became a brand of his soul. He understood that his soul needed to grow and develop in order to become stronger and more complete.

Finally, he found the answer. He turned around and headed for the seventh floor again.

The woman was still standing there waiting for him. Zhang Jianbai walked up to her and said with a smile: "I already understand." ”

"What do you understand?" The woman asked softly.

Zhang Jianbai closed his eyes slightly, he thought back to the process he had come to the current Canglei Academy in the past......

He is actually an orphan, his second uncle and aunt don't like him in the Zhang family, fortunately, his father's good brother Uncle Li has always been very good to him, and then the Zhang family collapsed, he and Ye Ling came to this Wuyang City, and then passed the entrance ceremony and became a disciple of Canglei Academy......

The Yuanyang realm is a world where the weak eat the strong, and the strong are respected! There is no room for survival for the weak! Only by becoming stronger, can he Zhang Jianbai truly control his own destiny in the future!

Zhang Jianbai took a deep breath and looked at the woman with a firm gaze: "I understand that my soul needs to continue to grow, and only by becoming stronger and more complete can I become a real powerhouse." ”

The woman nodded, and there was a hint of approval in her eyes: "Very good, you have understanding and firm determination, which is necessary to become a strong person." ”

As she spoke, the woman's figure gradually disappeared in place, and a light wind blew through, bringing up dust from the ground.

Zhang Jianbai felt the coolness of this breeze, and his heart cleared, he knew that he had completed the trial of the seventh layer.

He turned away and set out on his way to the eighth floor. He has a more peaceful mind and is full of confidence in the road ahead.

The environment on the eighth floor is even more special, full of mysterious spiritual power. Zhang Jianbai felt his body unconsciously relax, and he knew that the trial here would be a test of his heart.

He followed his breath as he walked forward, and as he got closer, he felt a powerful force pull inside him.

Finally, he saw a tall figure, it was the guardian of this level, and he looked like a mysterious old man.

"You're here." The Guardian smiled, his voice carrying a deep aura of power.

Zhang Jianbai approached him, and he felt that everything in his heart was understood by this guardian, which made him involuntarily feel a little depressed.

"There's something wrong with your heart." The Guardian seemed to see through his psychology and took a deep breath, "You need to face your inner fear in order to reach a higher realm. ”

As he spoke, the guardian waved his hand, and a cloud of smoke with the power of aura appeared in front of Zhang Jianbai.

He took a deep breath and stepped into the smoke. He felt as if he had arrived in another world, his mind twisted, mocked, and filled with uneasiness and fear.

He felt like he was in the dark, struggling helplessly. But he knew that all of these were fantasies in his heart, and he had to face them until he came out.

He opened his arms, took a few deep breaths, and then soaked in the darkness.

Soon, there was a rustling sound in the darkness, and it seemed that someone was talking!

Zhang Jianbai closed his eyes tightly, and his soul began to silently open his heart in the face of the sound of rustling in the darkness, facing the fear and confusion deep in his heart.

"You don't deserve to exist." A cold voice came into his ears, as if some voice buried deep in his soul was speaking to him.

Zhang Jianbai's heart trembled, he felt the inferiority complex and uneasiness in his heart surging into his heart, but he quickly suppressed this negative emotion and told himself that he could not compromise.

"I am worth existing. I have my mission in this world, and I have my own value. He said to himself firmly.

The voice in the darkness seemed to be irritated by his resoluteness, becoming even louder and harsher.

"You're a loser, you've been a useless kid since you were a kid. Do you feel you have what it takes to achieve your path to the road? Do you think you can be a real powerhouse? The voice was full of mockery and contempt.

Zhang Jianbai felt the pain in his heart, but he did not flinch, he understood that these voices were just the self-doubt and distrust in his heart.

"I may not have the talent, I may not be as strong as others, but as long as I work hard, as long as I stick to my dreams, I will eventually become a real powerhouse." He proclaimed loudly, power surging within.

The voice in the darkness gradually fell silent, as if struck down by his conviction. A force began to emerge from within him, bringing him shattered hopes.

The darkness gradually dissipated, and Zhang Jianbai opened his eyes suddenly. In front of him was the original scene, and without the gloomy darkness, he stood in a bright clearing.

The Guardian reappeared, his eyes full of approval and encouragement.

"You have conquered the fear in your heart, and you have taken another step on your way to becoming a true powerhouse." The Guardian said to him gently.

Zhang Jianbai smiled slightly, feeling the firmness and strength in his heart.
