Douluo: Reborn as a Dragon, I am the Lord of Soul Beasts

Chapter 88 Test
"Qian Kun asks about love, a true adventure. Let's begin." A very peaceful voice that could not be distinguished between a man and a woman rang in the ears of Ying Qian and the Silver Dragon King almost at the same time. The surrounding environment seemed to have stopped the passage of time, and even the sound of the wind around them immediately became quiet. Because they were all surprised to find that the scene in front of them turned into a golden and silver light screen, and they could no longer see the previous scene.

Ying Qian's heart was shocked. He took a deep breath and raised his head. The golden and silver light screen spread out in front of his eyes like ripples. At this moment, he felt as if he was in a strange space, and everything around him seemed to be filled with mysterious power.

"Where is this place?" Ying Qian murmured in a low voice.

"Qian Kun Wen Qing Valley." The peaceful voice sounded again, "Here, you will face tests from the depths of your heart. Every question will test your sincerity, and your decision will determine your fate."

Ying Qian's heart trembled. He knew that this was no ordinary test. In this mysterious place, he had to go all out to pass these tests.

Suddenly, the golden and silver light screen began to rotate, and the light beams quickly passed around him. Every time they passed, Ying Qian felt an inexplicable pressure, as if an invisible force was observing him.

Suddenly, the golden light stopped. The beam of light was pointed at Ying Qian. Ying Qian felt a strong force surrounding him, and his body was lifted up involuntarily and suspended in the air.

"Do you have a lover?" The peaceful voice sounded in his ears.

Ying Qian was shocked. This question was beyond his expectation. He frowned slightly, and a figure flashed through his mind. That was the person he had always loved deeply, but he had never really expressed his feelings.

"No." Ying Qian replied in a low voice.

"You lied. Do you know what lying means?" the calm voice continued.

"She and I are not from the same world." Ying Qian's voice trembled slightly. He felt that the long-hidden emotions in his heart were ruthlessly revealed.

"Are you willing to do anything for her?" The calm voice seemed to carry a hint of inquiry.

Ying Qian was silent for a moment, then nodded firmly, "Yes, I am willing to do anything for her."

"Even at the cost of your own life?" The peaceful voice became more severe.

Ying Qian answered without hesitation: "Yes, even if it means sacrificing my own life."

As he answered, a golden light descended from the sky and enveloped him. He felt an invisible force surging in his body, a force that seemed to tear his soul apart.

"Well, now you will face your first test." The calm voice echoed in his ears, "You must spend the night here. If you can hold out until dawn, you will pass this test."

Ying Qian felt a chill rising from the bottom of his heart. He knew that this would be an unprecedented test. He took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down, ready to face the upcoming challenge.

As night fell, the surroundings became more eerie. Ying Qian felt an invisible force permeating the air, as if countless pairs of eyes were watching him in the dark.

Suddenly, a low roar came from the darkness around him, and Ying Qian felt a chill rising from his back. He turned around and saw a huge black shadow slowly emerging from the darkness.

It was a huge black bear, its eyes flashing scarlet light, blood dripping from the corners of its mouth, obviously it had just finished hunting. The black bear walked towards Ying Qian step by step, and each step was accompanied by a heavy pressure.

Ying Qian took a deep breath, raised his head and looked into the black bear's eyes. He knew that this was the first fear he had to face. He could not retreat or escape.

"Come on!" Ying Qian shouted in a low voice. He felt the power surging in his body and was ready to fight at any time.

The black bear growled and pounced towards Ying Qian. Ying Qian reacted instantly and dodged to the side, avoiding the bear's attack.

However, the black bear did not give up, it rushed towards Ying Qian again, faster than before. Ying Qian felt a strong force coming from the black bear, and he knew that he could no longer dodge.

"You're looking for death." Ying Qian shouted, and a golden light condensed in his hand, slashing at the black bear. The golden light shone in the darkness, as if it was going to tear the darkness apart.

The black bear screamed, and its huge body was hit by the golden light and fell to the ground. Ying Qian panted and felt the power in his body was rapidly consumed, but he did not stop, because he knew that the black bear was not completely defeated.

Sure enough, the black bear struggled to stand up, and the scarlet light in its eyes became even crazier. It pounced on Ying Qian again, this time with destructive force.

Ying Qian took a deep breath, gathered all his strength, and prepared to meet the attack. He knew that this would be the decisive battle to determine the outcome.

"Hmph!" Ying Qian shouted, and a golden shield condensed in his hand, blocking himself. The black bear's attack hit the shield violently, making a deafening sound.

The shield vibrated but did not break. Ying Qian felt a strong force coming from the shield, and he gritted his teeth, trying to maintain the power of the shield.

The black bear's attack lasted for several seconds, and then finally stopped. Ying Qian felt the strength in his body being rapidly consumed, but he knew that he could not give up.

"Go to hell, you beast." Ying Qian shouted again, the golden light in his hand flashed again, and he slashed at the black bear. The black bear let out a scream, and its huge body fell to the ground again.

This time, the black bear did not stand up again. Ying Qian panted heavily, feeling that the strength in his body was almost completely consumed, but he knew that he had passed this test.

"Very good." The calm voice sounded again, "You have passed the first test. Now, prepare for the second test."

Ying Qian felt that the strength in his body was recovering rapidly. He knew that he had to stay vigilant and prepare for the next challenge.

The second test began soon. Ying Qian felt that the surrounding environment had changed again, and he found himself in a dense forest. The surrounding trees were towering into the sky, and the air was filled with a faint floral scent.

"Your second test is to find a rare herb." A peaceful voice sounded in his ears. "This herb grows deep in this forest. You must find it and bring it back within a limited time."

Ying Qian took a deep breath. He knew that this would be a race against time. He had to find the rare herb as soon as possible, otherwise he would not be able to pass this test.

He walked quickly into the depths of the forest, carefully observing the surroundings. He did not miss any tree or leaf. He knew that this herb must have its own unique mark, and as long as he observed carefully, he would be able to find it.

As time passed, Ying Qian felt his physical strength was rapidly depleting, but he did not give up. He knew that he had to persevere.

Finally, in a dense patch of grass, Ying Qian found a unique herb. The leaves of this herb were light golden, and they sparkled strangely in the sun. Ying Qian was delighted, knowing that this was exactly the herb he was looking for. He carefully picked the herb and quickly walked back.

"Very good, you found a rare herb." A calm voice sounded in his ears, "You passed the second test."

Ying Qian breathed a sigh of relief. He knew that he had passed two tests, but he also knew that this was by no means the end. There were more challenges waiting for him.

The third test soon began. Ying Qian found himself in a huge arena, surrounded by silence, with only him standing in the center.

"Your third test is to defeat your heart." A calm voice sounded in his ears, "You will face the deepest fear in your heart. Only by defeating it can you pass the third test. It will soon begin. Ying Qian found himself in a huge arena. There was silence all around him, and he was the only one standing in the center.

"Your third test is to defeat your inner self." A calm voice sounded in his ears, "You will face your deepest fear. Only by defeating it can you pass this test."

Ying Qian took a deep breath, knowing that the next test would be the most difficult. He looked around and felt an invisible sense of oppression, which came from deep in his heart.

Suddenly, the ground began to shake, and a huge black shadow emerged from the ground. Ying Qian opened his eyes wide and saw a huge monster slowly rising from the ground. It was a huge black dragon, and there was a ferocious light flashing in the dragon's eyes.

Ying Qian felt a chill rising from the bottom of his heart. This black dragon was the dark side of his deepest heart.

The black dragon roared, its huge body hovering in the air, its eyes flashing with a gleam of destruction. Ying Qian felt an invisible force surrounding him, and he knew that he had to face the black dragon and defeat it in order to pass this test.

"Come on!" Ying Qian shouted in a low voice. He felt the power in his body surge, ready to fight at any time. He knew that this would be a battle of life and death, and he could not retreat or escape.

The black dragon roared angrily and then pounced towards Ying Qian. Ying Qian reacted instantly and dodged to the side, avoiding the black dragon's attack.

However, the black dragon did not give up, it rushed towards Ying Qian again, faster than before. Ying Qian felt a strong force coming from the black dragon, and he knew that he could no longer dodge.

"Dragon Slashing Blade!" Ying Qian shouted, and a golden light condensed in his hand, slashing at the black dragon. The golden light shone in the darkness, as if it was going to tear the darkness apart.

The black dragon screamed, and its huge body was hit by the golden light and fell to the ground. Ying Qian gasped and felt the power in his body being rapidly consumed, but he did not stop, because he knew that the black dragon was not completely defeated.

Sure enough, the black dragon struggled to stand up, and the scarlet light in its eyes became even crazier. It pounced on Ying Qian again, this time with destructive force.

Ying Qian took a deep breath, gathered all his strength, and prepared to meet the attack. He knew that this would be the decisive battle to determine the outcome.

Ying Qian snorted coldly, and formed a golden shield in his hand, blocking himself. The black dragon's attack hit the shield violently, making a deafening sound.

The black dragon's attack lasted for several seconds, and then finally stopped. Ying Qian felt the power in his body being consumed rapidly, but he knew that he could not give up.

"Qian Kun Slash!" Ying Qian shouted again, the golden light in his hand flashed again, and he slashed at the black dragon. The black dragon screamed, and its huge body fell to the ground again.

This time, the black dragon did not stand up again. Ying Qian panted heavily, feeling that the strength in his body was almost completely consumed, but he knew that he had passed this test.

"Very good." The calm voice sounded again, "You have passed the third test. Now, prepare for the fourth test."

Ying Qian felt that the strength in his body was recovering rapidly. He knew that he had to stay vigilant and prepare for the next challenge.

The fourth test soon began. Ying Qian found himself in a wide grassland, surrounded by green grass, blue sky and bright sunshine. Everything here seemed so peaceful, in stark contrast to the previous test.

"Your fourth test is to face your heart and find your true self." A peaceful voice sounded in his ears, "You will go through a strange journey. During this journey, you will find the answers in the deepest part of your heart."

Ying Qian took a deep breath, knowing that this would be a journey full of unknowns. He took a step forward and walked towards the depths of the grassland.

As he walked forward, the scenery of the grassland gradually changed. He found himself walking into a dense forest, with tall and lush trees all around, birds singing happily on the treetops, and a fresh scent in the air.

Deep in the forest, Ying Qian discovered an ancient temple. The stone door of the temple was engraved with mysterious runes and emitted a faint light. Ying Qian felt a strong force coming from the temple, and he knew that there must be important clues hidden here.

He pushed open the stone door and walked into the temple. The interior of the temple was spacious and bright, with various ancient scrolls hanging on the walls and thick red carpets on the ground. In the center of the temple, there was a huge stone statue with a lifelike face, as if it was looking at him.

"Where is this?" Ying Qian asked in a low voice.

"This is a projection of your inner self." A peaceful voice sounded in his ears, "Here, you will find the answers from the deepest part of your heart."

Ying Qian took a deep breath and walked to the stone statue. He felt an invisible force surrounding him, as if a mysterious force was guiding him.

"Who are you?" A deep voice echoed in the temple, as if coming from all directions.

"I am Ying Qian." Ying Qian replied, feeling that this conversation would decide everything.

"Do you know what your mission is?" the deep voice continued.

Ying Qian was silent for a moment, then nodded firmly, "I know that my mission is to protect the people I love and safeguard the peace of this world."

"So, are you willing to pay everything for it?" the deep voice asked again.

"Yes, I do." Ying Qian answered without hesitation.

As he answered, the eyes of the stone statue suddenly lit up, and two golden rays of light shot out from the eyes of the stone statue, directly hitting Ying Qian's heart. Ying Qian felt a powerful force surging into his body, and his body began to glow, as if filled with endless power.
