Invincible starts with predatory terms

Li Changsheng laughed heartily, his eyes revealing a hint of confidence: "Ling'er, you don't have to be polite either. Just wait and see how I soar in this trial!"

The two joked and played around, but both knew in their hearts that the upcoming trial was not only a test of strength but also a tempering of will.

As the Xuan Dan Sect's ancient trial ground, the 'Copper Puppet Ancient Path,' officially opened, Yang Fan brought his two disciples to the entrance of the trial.

The Copper Puppet Ancient Path seemed ordinary, but it concealed hidden dangers. The puppets, passed down through generations of the Xuan Dan Sect, ruthlessly guarded this essential path to becoming a core disciple.

Standing at the entrance of the ancient path, Yang Fan looked solemn. He instructed, "Changsheng, Ling'er, this is not only a test of your strength but also a trial of your minds and courage.

Remember, only by conquering yourselves can you be invincible."

The two disciples exchanged glances, their expressions becoming even more determined.

Li Changsheng muttered in his heart, "Master is right. Only with a fearless heart can I break through the encirclement in any trial."

He clenched his fists, urging the newly acquired power within his body, and his eyes, gleaming with light, revealed unparalleled determination.

Within the Copper Puppet Ancient Path, rumbling sounds echoed incessantly, as the copper puppets relentlessly attacked with astonishing power. Li Changsheng and Li Ling'er cooperated, using their extraordinary reaction speed and combat skills to fight together.

Li Ling'er nimbly dodged the puppets, accurately casting spells to control and neutralize them.

Li Changsheng was like a sharp spear, directly piercing the enemy formation, each punch carrying the force of thunder.

At this moment, several larger copper puppets appeared, spewing metallic flames.

Upon seeing this, Li Ling'er couldn't help but feel a jolt in her heart: "These are much stronger than before, but without trying to break through, we cannot transcend."

Yang Fan silently watched his disciples' performance from the side. He nodded to himself, "As expected of the children I chose. This锐气 (ruì qì - sharpness, spirit), is the spirit of warriors who dare to challenge themselves and surpass their limits."

As time passed, Li Changsheng and Li Ling'er seemed to merge with the puppets, their figures weaving through them like smoke, their unyielding fighting will growing stronger in the trial.

The end of the Copper Puppet Ancient Path finally appeared before them. They were covered in sweat, but the light in their eyes shone even brighter.

Yang Fan waited in the distance, and seeing his two disciples safely pass the trial, he couldn't help but reveal a gratified smile.

At this moment, what stirred in his heart was not only the recognition of his disciples' strength but also more expectations for the future.

He knew that no matter how many challenges lay ahead, Li Changsheng and Li Ling'er would be able to move forward fearlessly.

"Today is just a small step. In the future, there is a wider world waiting for you to explore," Yang Fan said, his tone full of trust. Li Changsheng and Li Ling'er smiled at each other, filled with longing for even greater goals in the future.

The experience of the Copper Puppet Ancient Path made them understand that only by constantly breaking through their own limits could they embark on the path to extraordinary achievement and the proof of eternal life.

After the trial of the Copper Puppet Ancient Path, Li Changsheng and Li Ling'er stood on the mountaintop, looking at the sea of clouds in the distance, their heavy breathing gradually subsiding.

The two smiled at each other. Although physically and mentally exhausted, the resilience and tacit understanding gained through the tempering still surged in their hearts.

"We finally passed this time, right?"

Li Ling'er playfully pinched Li Changsheng's arm, trying to relieve her nervous mood.

Li Changsheng laughed and rubbed her head: "Don't underestimate us. We can pass it a hundred more times."

Just then, Yang Fan approached them. He had been watching their efforts and persistence all along.

"Your progress makes me very gratified," he said softly, a deep appreciation flowing in his eyes. "From the experience of the Copper Puppet Ancient Path, you should have realized that challenging yourself is the core of cultivation."

Li Ling'er nodded, asking with reverence, "Master, what other trials await us?"

Yang Fan smiled but didn't answer directly. Instead, he turned to Li Changsheng: "Changsheng, do you have any new insights today?"

Li Changsheng pondered slightly, then replied, "I discovered that only by overcoming the fear in my heart can I avoid being defeated by the external environment.

I have understood many things during this time under Master's guidance."

Night was approaching, and the wind blew across the mountaintop, seeming to bring a hint of coolness to their pursuit, but it also mixed with an atmosphere of unease and hope.

As the sun gradually sank into silence, the three returned to Yang Fan's study.

While tidying up the desk, Li Changsheng inadvertently stroked an ancient book. When he opened it, it was actually the 'Thunder Burst Spirit Art.'

The vigorous font revealed a hidden power, influencing his heart.

Li Ling'er came over for a look, her eyes flashing with surprise and envy.

"But, isn't this very difficult?"

Li Changsheng grasped the 'Thunder Burst Spirit Art,' his eyes firm, "Without trying, you'll never know where your limits lie.

I will definitely seize this opportunity."

A few days later, sunlight filtered through the bamboo curtain and spilled into the courtyard. Li Changsheng sat quietly in the courtyard, silently circulating the cultivation technique.

He could feel a brand new power flowing within his body, as if a dormant flame was being activated.

At the same time, Li Ling'er watched his cultivation, and a greater determination ignited in her heart.

She understood that on this path to pursuing the extraordinary, she and Li Changsheng needed to advance side by side.

Soon after, they encountered Bai Wuchen, a renowned cultivator in the region.

Bai Wuchen was originally passing by, but he was surprised by the rapid growth of the two young cultivators in a short period of time.

He curiously sized up Li Changsheng: "It seems the rumors are true. You are indeed extraordinary."

Li Changsheng smiled calmly, his aura not inferior, but his heart was full of fighting spirit. Seeing all this, Yang Fan stood aside in silent satisfaction, his eyes full of anticipation and gratification.

"As long as you persevere, the road will become wider and wider."

He thought quietly: "All the wonderful moments of the future have just begun."

After this discovery and the rewarding cultivation, Li Changsheng and Li Ling'er were filled with confidence and motivation.

They knew in their hearts that on this path to extraordinary longevity, there were still more challenges waiting for them to conquer.
