From a loser to an immortal sage

Chapter 246 Special Training Finale: Xiao Yao at the Pinnacle of Glory

Following Elder Yan's instructions, I took a deep breath and slowly calmed the surging spiritual energy within my body.

With a thought, three spiritual pearls surrounded him, emitting a soft light.

The light shone brightly, reflecting the spiritual energy within me, as if calling out to something.

"boom--"

A loud bang shook the entire space.

I suddenly opened my eyes and saw a huge phantom formed by interwoven spiritual energy and arrays.

Its form was blurry, yet it exuded a suffocating sense of oppression, like an ancient ferocious beast lurking in the darkness, ready to devour its prey at any moment.

The surrounding air seemed to be ignited by this force, and waves of heat rolled in, making my hair stand on end involuntarily.

My heart raced uncontrollably, and an unprecedented sense of awe welled up inside me.

I could sense that the phantom before me was no ordinary being.

It not only possesses powerful spiritual energy, but also incorporates complex formations. This is definitely the most powerful opponent I have ever encountered.

The phantom didn't give me much time to think; it launched its attack as soon as it appeared.

One after another, blades of light formed from spiritual energy attacked me like a storm.

These light blades are not only extremely fast, but also contain extremely strong destructive power; each one is enough to leave me covered in blood and gore.

I tried to dodge, but the light blades were too dense, and I had no way to avoid them.

In an instant, I was struck by a series of light blades, and my body was wracked with intense pain, as if I were being cut by countless knives at the same time.

"puff--"

I coughed up a mouthful of blood and my body swayed precariously.

The impact of the light blade disrupted the spiritual energy within my body, and my meridians felt as if they were about to be torn apart.

I could clearly feel my body being frantically eroded by the spiritual energy within the formation, and every inch of my skin was burning with a stinging sensation.

A deep sense of despair washed over me like a tidal wave. I felt as if I were in boundless darkness, the air around me was incredibly oppressive, and even breathing became difficult.

Am I really going to have to stop here?

I am not reconciled, absolutely not reconciled!

Just as I was about to give up, a voice rang in my ear.

"Xiao Yao, you...you...didn't..."

I suddenly looked up and saw Senior Brother Xuanfeng. He was opening his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but he hesitated and stopped.

I was even more confused. Was he trying to say that I didn't—

Senior Brother Xuanfeng's words came to an abrupt end; I had only heard half of them, and my doubts deepened.

But I had no time to think about his meaning, as the phantom before me had already changed form once again.

It emerged from the blurry shape and gradually solidified into a huge black panther.

The black panther's eyes, like two blood-red gems, gleamed with a terrifying light, and it emitted a low growl, as if proclaiming its dominance.

I felt a chill rise up my spine involuntarily, and my body began to tremble uncontrollably.

The black panther's attacks became even more ferocious, each pounce carrying the force of a raging storm.

My spiritual energy is completely depleted, and my body can barely hold on.

Every time I was struck by the black panther's claws, I felt a sharp pain, as if something inside my body was being torn apart.

Bloodstains appeared on my skin, and blood flowed from the wounds, staining my clothes red.

"Crack—" My bones made a slight sound, and my meridians were almost broken by the pressure.

The surrounding darkness surged in like a tide, making it almost impossible for me to breathe.

I felt my body getting heavier and heavier, and even standing became extremely difficult.

Just when I was about to give up, a strong flame suddenly ignited in a corner of my heart.

I am not reconciled, absolutely not reconciled!

I cannot fall here, I cannot let everyone down, and I cannot let all my efforts go to waste.

I gritted my teeth, the flames in my heart burning ever brighter, as if to burn away all the darkness and despair.

I took a deep breath, gathered the remaining spiritual energy in my dantian, and then suddenly unleashed it.

My body was instantly enveloped by a powerful spiritual force, and the surrounding darkness seemed to be partially dispelled by this force.

I felt my hands begin to emit a faint light, which gradually grew brighter and brighter, like the first rays of dawn on the horizon.

"Master, I will not give up!" I gritted my teeth and shouted.

Just then, the black panther pounced again, its sharp claws carrying destructive power, aiming straight for my throat.

I felt time slow down at that moment, and everything around me became blurry, except for those blood-red eyes that were clearly visible.

A burning desire for victory filled my heart, and I leaped up, drawing a mysterious rune in the air with both hands.

The runes emitted a dazzling light as they collided with the black panther's claws in mid-air, producing a deafening sound.

The massive shockwave threw me into the air, and I felt my body being torn apart by a powerful force.

At that very moment, I suddenly felt the spiritual energy within my body rapidly recovering under the guidance of some force, and I felt an unprecedented surge of power within me.

I stood in the air, my gaze resolute, and uttered a single word: "Break!"

Just then, Senior Brother Xuanfeng's voice rang out again: "Xiao Yao, are you alright?!"

I landed steadily, and the surging power within me made me feel stronger than ever before.

I looked at the black panther, my eyes no longer filled with fear, but with a burning fighting spirit.

I felt a powerful force surging from my dantian, flowing throughout my body, and every cell was cheering with joy.

I clenched my fists, feeling the surging spiritual energy within my body. I knew then that I had broken through!

The black panther seemed to sense my change, letting out an uneasy growl before pouncing on me again.

This time, I didn't dodge, but faced it head-on.

I concentrated all the spiritual power in my body into my fists and slammed them hard against the black panther.

"boom!"

With a loud bang, the black panther was sent flying by the force of my punch, crashing heavily to the ground with a painful howl.

I pressed my advantage and threw another punch, completely crushing Black Panther.

The black panther transformed into specks of starlight and vanished into the air.

I stood there, took a deep breath, and felt the joy of victory.

The air around me was fresh and sweet, and the sunlight shone on me, making me feel warm and cozy.

I looked up at the azure sky, my heart filled with an unparalleled sense of accomplishment.

"Xiao Yao, you're amazing!" Shuang Yue ran over and hugged me excitedly.

"Congratulations, Xiao Yao." Elder Yan also came over, a gratified smile on his face. "You have successfully passed the special training."

I felt incredibly happy and fulfilled as enthusiastic applause and cheers erupted around me.

I know that all of this is the result of my hard work.

I gazed into the distance, my heart filled with anticipation. Pet raising, here I come!

I pushed open the door to the Fairy Pet Paradise...
