I have an eye of truth

Everyone cautiously moved forward, mindful that such a unique place might hold unique dangers.

Naturally, Wang Yang's Shadow Assassins led the way. If they weren't sent to their deaths in dangerous places, what were they good for? Were they supposed to be treated like pampered masters?

"Alright, it seems there's no danger here," Wang Yang said, looking at the pond ahead.

It truly was a pond, a pond resembling a large pool. The water inside was crystal clear, giving a feeling of purity, yet it emitted no special energy whatsoever.

"That's right, this is the Wishing Pool. I didn't expect so much water; it seems enough for us," He Yingxue said.

"Can this stuff really help you improve? It just looks like ordinary water to me."

Last time when they went to the Snow Mountain Lightning Pool, they could at least feel the power of lightning within. But this water seemed ordinary, with no discernible properties other than its purity.

He Yingxue shook her head. "This isn't ordinary water. No, it's not water at all. It's a concentrated product of special energy. Because it's so condensed, it doesn't leak any aura."

As she spoke, He Yingxue looked at Wang Yang, and then everyone else also looked at him.

Wang Yang was somewhat surprised: "Why are you all looking at me like that?"

"Of course, it's to ask you to leave quickly. We want to take a bath. Did you want to join us?"

Lingling raised the shield in her hand, ready to smash it down if Wang Yang said the wrong thing. Wang Yang was a little stunned; he'd forgotten that the Wishing Pool required bathing in it.

"I'm leaving, I'm leaving. Honestly, do you really have to take a bath?"

Wang Yang had thought they could just absorb the power directly or soak in it with their clothes on. Women were such a hassle; the way they were tidying up, one would think they were preparing for a hot spring.

"Hurry up and leave, and take your Shadow Assassins with you. Don't think I don't know what those things are used for."

"What are they used for?" Only He Yue didn't know.

Ao Han pulled He Yue aside and whispered, "He can see and hear everything his Shadow Assassins see and hear."

He Yue's eyes widened: "Isn't that the ultimate peeping skill? What a pervert!"

Wang Yang said with annoyance, "It's a reconnaissance skill, a reconnaissance skill! If not for this skill, would we be able to find those dangerous enemies so easily?"

"Hurry up and leave; don't talk nonsense here."

He Yingxue pushed Wang Yang, forcefully shoving him out. Everyone was very unified on this matter; even Pamela nodded vigorously, expressing her agreement.

Forget it; he wouldn't argue with women. Wang Yang didn't recall the Shadow Assassins but spread them out around to scout the surroundings. After all, this wasn't a safe tourist attraction.

"Wait a moment; I'll set up a barrier first."

Before anyone could prepare to change clothes, He Yue stepped forward. Then, everyone watched as He Yue busied herself around, placing special items at different locations.

"As expected of an Exorcist; setting up barriers is definitely expert-level."

He Yingxue nodded slightly because Exorcists specialized in dealing with strange things, so they knew a bit about everything. Especially in preventing sneak attacks from wandering spirits, barriers were of utmost importance.

Before long, a simple barrier was completed.

He Yue formed a special hand seal with both hands, then softly chanted, and the surrounding light brightened.

"No problem, there are no Shadow Assassins left inside."

If Wang Yang were here, he would definitely curse. Was he that kind of person? These women were very beautiful, but none of them were easy to deal with.

"Great, let's start!" Everyone cheered and then went into the water.

On the other side, Wang Yang suddenly felt a burst of energy from behind and then shook his head.

"That's a barrier-type skill, right? They're being too careful." Wang Yang ignored it, as there was no danger nearby anyway.

After all, this place was originally the territory of the Demon Spirit Giant Tree.

Whether it was humans, other creatures, or wandering spirits, none dared to approach this place casually. Anyone who dared to approach would become a target for the Demon Spirit Giant Tree.

Wang Yang remained vigilant, while a huge change had already occurred in the pond behind him.

At first, the group could still chat, but gradually they fell silent. The massive energy washing over them caused them to feel spasms throughout their bodies.

Their own energy constantly circulated and was continuously compressed and strengthened in a special way.

The pool water seemed to be absorbed by them, continuously entering their bodies. After the energy was converted, the excess power didn't turn back into pool water but constantly dissipated outwards.

Power with a massive positive aura soared into the sky, spreading continuously around.

Wang Yang discovered that the Demon Spirit Giant Trees he was monitoring were all starting to weaken.

After this energy burst, these Demon Spirit Giant Trees would definitely be greatly weakened, which was the perfect opportunity for them to hunt. If no one were monitoring this place, the changes here would definitely be noticed.

The massive energy continued to rise, and Wang Yang knew that those people had probably already begun to level up.

Suddenly, an explosion sounded from behind. Although it wasn't very loud, Wang Yang still felt it.

"That's...? The barrier exploded. Well, the temporary barrier was too low-level and couldn't withstand it." Wang Yang ignored it, as there was no danger around anyway.

He didn't know how much time had passed, but the power of those soaking in the pond began to change.

First was He Yingxue. She was the strongest and closest to her peak. A sharp aura suddenly burst out from He Yingxue's body. In an instant, powerful sword energy condensed and struck out into the sky.

Opening her eyes, He Yingxue exhaled. She knew she had broken through.

Spurred on by Wang Yang, she had been rushing forward, and at this moment, she finally reaped the rewards. With the help of the Wishing Pool, He Yingxue successfully broke through to the Advanced Professional level, and her strength had greatly improved.

The surrounding pool water no longer flowed into her body because her own power was already at the same level as the pool water, so the pool water could no longer affect her.

Looking around, He Yingxue's face flushed slightly because the water level had dropped, and her upper body was exposed.
