Li Che, glowing faintly, followed behind Xi Xi, his gaze suddenly sharpened.

Yuan Jingang…

The mastermind behind Fei Lei City’s Thousand Infants Banquet, a Seven Yuan Upper-tier Corpse God Envoy from the Corpse God Cult, a Cursed Silver Corpse expert wielding twenty-five strands of Silver Gang Power!

Xi Xi, having lost the empowering forces of the Purple Flame Serpentine Spear and the Prison Lotus Wind Fire Golden Light Wheel, as well as the support of that formidable will…

had entirely lost the possibility of contending against Yuan Jingang.

Li Che understood that Xi Xi’s Heart Test had probably reached its limit here.

To avoid witnessing the heartbreaking scene of Xi Xi being defeated.

Li Che decided to intervene.

Although he wasn’t sure if his intervention would allow the victory to be credited to Xi Xi.

Even if it might affect Xi Xi’s results, Li Che would still act.

Radiating brilliance from his entire body, the light suddenly flared explosively. As his five fingers clenched, even as a will-bound luminous body, he surged with an endless tide of ferocious Qi-Blood!

“Xi Xi, watch closely.”

Li Che said softly. As his five fingers gripped tightly, it seemed as though five streams of air resembling Divine Spears were gathered within his grasp.

Master Realm Divine Seed Martial Arts!

Myriad Transformations Dragon Elephant!

Li Che lightly tapped his toes on the ground, causing Fei Lei City to seemingly tremble violently in that instant. Web-like cracks erupted through the Illusion Realm’s space!

A giant golden phantom of a Divine Elephant emerged in resplendent light.

A majestic Divine Dragon coiled around the Divine Elephant’s body.

Dragon Elephant Merged Form!

Yuan Jingang at the Cursed Silver Corpse level…

was instantly obliterated into ashes!

…

…

“Whoa——”

On the White Jade Staircase.

Xi Xi’s long eyelashes trembled as her face lit up with both amazement and joy!

Daddy is so powerful!

Without even using the Immortal Artisan Gatling, he managed to set off fireworks barehanded!

Simply incredible!

Xi Xi thought about defeating Daddy. Clearly, she still needed to grow stronger!

Xi Xi’s eyes sparkled as she stretched lazily. Her short arms and legs crackled with crisp snapping sounds as her tendons and bones roared like popping beans!

“Huh?!”

Xi Xi clenched her tiny fist and swung it at the air, causing a resonating whirring sound to burst forth.

“Xi Xi got stronger again!”

Xi Xi exclaimed joyfully!

Her physical strength seemed to have increased greatly once more—but why?

Could it be the power of those black patterns?

Xi Xi vividly remembered that in the Illusion Realm, a young lady had spoken deep within Xi Xi’s mind, after which black floral patterns had appeared all over Xi Xi’s body. Furthermore…

The Emperor Xi Xi was just too cool!

Recalling the scenes in the Illusion Realm, Xi Xi couldn’t help but smile cheerfully. With Daddy always around, Xi Xi’s heart never wavered!

And there was still more fighting to be done. Xi Xi was growing stronger through combat!

Sooner or later, she would surpass Daddy!

Xi Xi clenched her small fist with a surge of determination!

At that moment, her spirits returned, and she glanced off into the distance. There she saw Jin Taixui and Yun E still struggling within the Illusion Realm of the Heart Test.

“Ms. Yun E…”

Xi Xi blinked her bright eyes.

Standing on her White Jade Staircase, Xi Xi dared not move recklessly, afraid to disturb Yun E and disrupt Yun E’s Heart Test trial.

As for Jin Taixui, Xi Xi glanced at him but didn’t try to disturb him either.

Xi Xi was very polite!

Earlier, she had used the Immortal Blood Fire Bodhi Gatling to bombard Jin Taixui because Jin Taixui had struck first, so Xi Xi had responded decisively with an attack!

“Ms. Yun E, keep it up! You have to defeat that guy!”

Xi Xi clenched her little fist, cheering and encouraging her.

Meanwhile, outside the Illusion Realm.

When Xi Xi awakened, a wave of disappointed murmurs instantly spread through the crowd, even louder than the thunderous sound of Spring Rain crashing down.

Many people at the scene had placed high hopes on Xi Xi. After all, she was the one who had dominated the Talent Test in the first trial, reaching the summit ahead of all others and surpassing Gongshu Wentian’s young prodigy!

However, in the second Heart Test trial, Gongshu Wentian had failed, and Xi Xi had only claimed third place.

As for Jin Taixui, the Young Witch from the Da Li Royal Court with the Great Witch God Bloodline, he was still persevering through the Heart Test, and his ranking was at least higher than Xi Xi’s.

In reality, after Gongshu Wentian’s defeat, the second Heart Test produced three remaining Divine Children who advanced, fully determining the three participants for the third trial, the Temple Guardian Test.

“What a pity…”

Inside the carriage, Zhang Ya sighed.

Nearby, Nurse Momo consoled her, “Xi Xi has performed exceedingly well. She’s only five years old; the Heart Test is naturally a disadvantage for her since her emotions are easily affected… Unlike other, more mature children.”

Hearing this, Zhang Ya soon felt relieved.

Xi Xi had at least made it to the third trial, the Temple Guardian Test, which meant there was still hope.

Encouraged by the thought, Zhang Ya couldn’t suppress her happiness. Xi Xi had already accomplished an impressive feat.

Under the White Jade Arch, many elders saw that Xi Xi was the first among the three participants to awaken.

All of them sighed in unison.

Truly unfortunate.

“Xi Xi has actually already done quite well.”

Many elders turned toward Li Che and began congratulating him. It was indeed worthy of celebration, as Xi Xi had successfully entered the third trial.

After all, Xi Xi was still just a five-year-old child.

Li Che’s face softened into a gentle smile as he clasped his hands in polite acknowledgment of the congratulations from the elders.

Suddenly.

The crowd collectively turned their heads toward the direction of the Sword Qi Disc, which reflected the scene.

The last two participants awakened in succession.

Jin Taixui awakened first, and roughly three breaths later, Yun E’s exquisitely beautiful face showed subtle signs of life. Her eyelashes trembled slightly as her eyes opened, revealing pupils within which a crescent moon flashed briefly, transforming her demeanor into one of icy elegance.

A faint Rank Suppression radiated from her being, enveloping the surroundings, as her aura underwent an earth-shaking metamorphosis.
