Martial arts have become extinct worldwide, yet I am forced to have a large family.

Even if the Third Elder felt resentful, he had no choice but to accept the way out given by Yang Xian.

She couldn't very well admit in front of her entire clan that her proud spatial skills had been easily cracked by a human boy from another race, could she?

Where will she put her old face after this?!

"snort!"

The Third Elder forced out a single word through gritted teeth, forcibly maintaining his elder's authority, "Boy, your strength is not bad! You've passed this test!"

After saying that, she flicked her tail and left without looking back.

------

Soon, he arrived at a huge cave entrance.

The entrance to the cave was marked with a large "X" by two thin, seemingly frail tree branches that crossed over each other.

In front of that "X" stood another Boundary Wolf.

"I didn't expect you to actually pass the third brother's test." The boundary wolf spoke slowly, its voice deep and resonant:

"I am the second elder of the Boundary Wolf Clan."

"If you want to marry my young master, it's very simple."

The Second Elder raised his paw and pointed to the two branches at the cave entrance. "All you need to do is stand outside this line and destroy these two branches."

Yang Xian looked in the direction he was pointing.

Those two branches were pitifully thin and looked quite ordinary. It seemed that even an ordinary person could easily break them, let alone him.

The line on the ground was only about thirty meters from the entrance of the cave.

If no one stopped him, Yang Xian could do it easily.

The problem is that this Second Elder will definitely try to stop us.

"It seems that you are going to test my attack capabilities, senior."

Yang Xian drew his straight sword, deciding to test the waters first.

"Just a heads-up," the Second Elder grinned.

"I don't have time to waste with you, so you only have three chances to make a move!"

"If you can't break through my defense within three moves, then you're not qualified to marry our young master."

"When the time comes, you'd better stay obediently and become our son-in-law!"

Upon hearing this, the wolves watching became agitated once again.

"This is going to be interesting! The Second Elder's defense is second only to the Clan Chief's in our clan!"

"Yes! When the Thunder Bear clan invaded, if it weren't for the Second Elder risking his life to hold off most of the enemy, we wouldn't have had a chance to escape into this small world!"

"To think he can break through the Second Elder's defenses in three moves is simply a pipe dream! I think he's doomed this time!"

"Do you think the Second Elder might also go easy on us?"

"Impossible! The Second Elder is known for his upright and incorruptible character; he would definitely go all out!"

Listening to the surrounding discussions, Yang Xian roughly made a judgment about the Second Elder's strength.

Are they the four-realm monsters that specialize in defense?

interesting.

"I apologize for my inconvenience!"

Without further hesitation, Yang Xian activated his spiritual power and unleashed the Ice Soul Divine Technique.

A chill instantly condensed on the blade.

"roar!"

With a roar, an ice dragon made entirely of ice crystals burst forth and crashed violently into the cave entrance.

Faced with this fierce attack, the Second Elder merely raised his front paw lazily.

An invisible wave instantly spread out in front of him.

The next second, the imposing ice dragon seemed to have crashed into an invisible wall.

"boom!"

The ice dragon's body shattered inch by inch the moment it came into contact with that wave, and ice shards scattered everywhere.

"Its power is decent, but it's far from breaking through my defenses!"

The Second Elder's lips curled up in a smile.

He didn't know what tricks Yang Xian had used to pass the Third Elder's test.

But against his absolute defense, all fancy techniques are useless.

"I see, so you're using spatial locking for defense?"

Yang Xian watched this scene, seemingly lost in thought.

When the Second Elder made his move, the space around him seemed to solidify into a solid iron plate, forming a unified whole.

When your attack hits it, the energy will be instantly dispersed and distributed to every corner of that space.

not only that.

Yang Xian also keenly realized that the opponent had used the characteristics of spatial transmission to weaken the attack while returning some of the energy back to the attack itself.

A defense that combines both "damage reduction" and "damage reflection" is indeed quite troublesome.

Unless, in an instant, an attack far exceeding his defensive limits can be launched.

Yang Xian is capable of doing this.

"Boy, why did you suddenly stop moving?" The Second Elder couldn't help but urge Yang Xian, who was standing there in a daze. "You still have two chances to attack! You'd better cherish them!"

Seeing Yang Xian's hesitant expression, the wolves watching realized that it was hopeless.

"Sigh, it seems we have to stop here."

"There's no way around it, the elders came prepared, these three trials are indeed not so easy to pass."

"It's already quite remarkable that this human has made it this far."

Just when all the wolves thought it was over.

Yang Xian suddenly spoke up: "Senior, let's continue."

After a brief moment of thought, he decided against using the powerful "Thunder Prison Demon Suppression Technique".

Once that move is used, it won't just break through the Second Elder's defenses; it could probably plow through half of this valley.

I'm here to get married, not to seek revenge, so there's no need to make such a big fuss.

It's more appropriate to use "Dimension Slash".

Although using this kind of dimensional reduction attack tactic is somewhat unfair, I haven't broken any rules.

Yang Xian slowly raised the straight sword in his hand: "But this time, senior, you'd better watch carefully."

As soon as he finished speaking, he swung his straight knife down lightly.

The Dimensional Slash breaks through spatial limitations, hitting the target silently.

There were no fluctuations of spiritual energy, and no terrifying aura.

The wolves watching were all dumbfounded.

"What... what's going on?"

"He's finished his move? How come nothing's happened?"

"Could it be that he knows he has no hope and has given up on himself?"

The Second Elder was also dumbfounded; he hadn't sensed any sign of attack at all.

What is this kid up to?

However, when he instinctively turned around and looked at the hole behind him, the wolf froze.

The two intersecting branches had somehow broken into four pieces, the cuts as smooth as a mirror.

When did they break?

Why don't I feel anything at all?!

Under the stunned gazes of the wolves, Yang Xian had already sheathed his sword and stepped into the cave.

------

Inside the cave is a more spacious stone chamber, surrounded by eight identical heavy stone doors.

Yun, along with an old, ancient wolf, were quietly waiting there.

The First Elder spoke first:

"Young man, I won't waste your time."

"Young Master, it's behind one of these eight stone doors."

"If you can guess which door she's behind, you can take her away."

"However, I must remind you that you only have one chance to choose. Once you make a choice, you cannot change it."

Yang Xian nodded.

What kind of test is this?

That's practically a free point question.

Not to mention that he can easily sense the spatial fluctuations behind each door, he can easily pinpoint the location of the little wolf simply by relying on the "contract" connection between him and Feng.

Without any hesitation, he pointed directly to the third stone door from the right.

"I choose this one."

Seeing Yang Xian's decisiveness, the Grand Elder was slightly taken aback.

"Alright, now that the choice is made..."

"Let's see the final result then..."

But he hadn't finished speaking.

Yang Xian's composure suddenly froze.

wrong!

The scent of maple leaves...

They suddenly disappeared from that room!
