The New Era Arrives: Giant World

Chapter 243 Recognizing the Master

Number Two sensed that his cultivation bottleneck seemed to be loosening, and Number Three also felt his inner fear gradually dissipating. At this moment, a clear, ethereal voice rang in everyone's ears: "This treasure is called the Memory Pearl. It can reflect people's hearts and stimulate their potential. Only those with unwavering faith can truly gain my approval." Hearing this voice, Number Two and Number Three exchanged a glance, both seeing a resolute determination in each other's eyes. Number Two spoke first: "No matter what, we must try." Number Three nodded in agreement.

As the voice faded, a bead radiating a soft light slowly appeared. It was surrounded by a misty haze, mysterious and unpredictable. Number Two took a deep breath and reached out to touch the Memory Bead. In an instant, countless images flooded his mind—the hardships and difficulties he had endured in his past cultivation, and his determination to overcome each obstacle. He gritted his teeth, refusing to lose himself in the memories.

Seeing this, Number Three also mustered his courage and placed his hand on the bead. The fear in his heart transformed into a tangible darkness, but it was gradually dispelled by the light of the Memory Bead. At the same time, his deepest desire for great power became even clearer.

Just then, the bead shone brightly, enveloping the two. Number Two felt his bottleneck begin to shatter like thin ice, with power surging forth continuously. Number Three, on the other hand, seemed to have broken free of the shackles binding his mind, brimming with confidence. Finally, the light faded, and Number Two and Number Three successfully gained the approval of the Memory Bead.

Everyone was astonished upon hearing this. Number Two clenched his fists, his gaze steadily fixed on the Memory Pearl in mid-air, knowing that an even more severe test was about to begin, and he was fully prepared to meet all challenges. Just as everyone was marveling, the ethereal voice rang out again: "Although you have gained the Memory Pearl's approval, its true power has not yet been fully awakened." Upon hearing this, Number Two and Number Three's expressions became even more serious.

Suddenly, the Memory Pearl trembled violently, and strange runes flew out from it, swirling around the two of them. These runes quickly merged into their bodies; Number Two felt as if his body was on fire, while Number Three felt a cool force coursing through his body.

Then, the scene before them abruptly changed, and they found themselves in a desolate land, surrounded by menacing monsters. "This is a test of our combat skills, isn't it?" Number Two said, gripping his weapon tightly. Number Three nodded, his eyes showing no fear.

There seemed to be an unspoken understanding between the two, allowing them to know each other's thoughts and intentions without needing to exchange words. Number Two clenched his fists, his entire body radiating a powerful energy fluctuation; the mysterious power he had just acquired erupted without reservation. With a roar, Number Two unleashed a devastating ultimate move, charging towards the enemy ahead like a bolt of lightning.

Meanwhile, Number Three moved with the agility of a swallow, darting across the battlefield at a dazzling speed. Facing the enemy's fierce counterattacks, Number Three skillfully sidestepped, rolled, and leaped, narrowly avoiding fatal blows time and time again. Moreover, he maintained keen observation at all times, never overlooking any opening that could break through the enemy's defenses.

The fierce battle had been raging for a long time, with both sides locked in a stalemate. Although Number Two and Number Three were covered in wounds of all sizes, their clothes stained with blood, their fighting spirit remained undiminished. On the contrary, the more difficult the situation, the stronger their desire to win became.

Finally, after a fierce and arduous battle, the last hideous monster collapsed to the ground. As the monster's life force faded, the surrounding environment, which had been filled with the smell of gunpowder and blood, gradually returned to calm, as if nothing had ever happened.

Just then, the Memory Pearl, which had been hovering in the air, suddenly burst forth with a dazzling light. The light was like the most brilliant star in the night sky, instantly illuminating the entire space as if it were daytime. Immediately afterwards, the Memory Pearl transformed into two streams of light, rushing towards Number Two and Number Three respectively, and quickly entering their bodies.

Sensing the immense power emanating from the Memory Pearl, Number Two and Number Three exchanged a knowing smile. From that moment on, they knew they had become the chosen ones. And what awaited them was a brand new journey filled with countless unknown challenges and exciting adventures…
