The battlefield shattered under pressure.
Ling Tian stood in the center, sword in hand, eyes glowing—one with light, the other with darkness.
Across him…
the Guardian Werewolf lowered its stance.
"Begin."
⚡ BOOOOM!
In an instant, the werewolf disappeared—then reappeared right in front of Ling Tian, claws tearing through the air.
⚔️ CLASH!
Ling Tian barely blocked with his sword. The force sent him sliding back across the ground.
The Beast King watched from afar, shocked.
"This Guardian… is testing him seriously!"
The werewolf attacked again—faster this time.
⚡ SLASH! SLASH! BOOM!
Ling Tian struggled to keep up. His body was weak, his power unstable.
Blood dripped from his arm.
But his eyes stayed focused.
"I can't lose…"
⚡ System Awakens New Skill
Suddenly—
Inside his mind, the System activated:
"Emergency condition detected…"
"Unlocking new skill…"
"Skill: Dual Core Sync (Level 1)"
Ling Tian's body froze for a second.
Then—
⚡ WHOOSH!
A powerful aura exploded from him, perfectly balanced between light and darkness.
The Guardian Werewolf stopped mid-attack.
Its eyes narrowed.
"Interesting…"
⚔️ Power vs Guardian
Ling Tian moved.
For the first time—
He disappeared.
⚡ FLASH!
He appeared behind the werewolf and slashed—
⚔️ BOOM!
The Guardian blocked, but the impact pushed it back.
The Beast King couldn't believe it.
"He pushed the Guardian?! Impossible!"
The battle turned intense—
⚡ Claw vs Sword
⚡ Darkness vs Light
⚡ Speed vs Instinct
Every clash shook the sky.
🌑 Yue Ling Arrives
Far above—
A figure appeared.
Yue Ling.
Her book floated beside her, glowing wildly.
"Synchronization: 35%… 50%…"
She looked down in shock.
"Ling Tian… what have you become?"
The book suddenly opened—
A bright beam of light shot toward the battlefield.
⚡ WHOOM!
It connected with Ling Tian.
⚡ Second Power Boost
Ling Tian's body trembled.
The sword and the book… resonated.
"Sword + Record synchronization…"
"New ability unlocked…"
"Skill: Absolute Balance"
His aura stabilized completely.
No more chaos.
Only pure… controlled power.
🐺 Guardian's True Form
The Guardian Werewolf stepped back… and smiled.
"You have passed the first trial…"
But then—
Its body began to change.
⚡ ROOOOAR!
It transformed into a larger, more terrifying form—covered in ancient runes.
The sky turned dark red.
"This is… my true form," it said.
The Beast King trembled.
"He forced the Guardian to reveal its true form…?!"
⚔️ Final Clash
The Guardian charged—
⚡ WORLD-SHAKING IMPACT!
Ling Tian raised his sword, calm and focused.
⚔️ BOOOOOOOM!
A massive explosion of light and darkness filled the battlefield.
Everything went silent.
🌟 Result
As the dust settled—
Ling Tian was still standing.
Breathing heavily… but standing.
The Guardian returned to its normal form.
It looked at Ling Tian… and bowed.
The Beast King's eyes widened in pure shock.
"The Guardian… bowed…?!"
🐺 Guardian's Words
"You are worthy…"
"Bearer of the Sword and Record…"
"The one who will decide the fate of all worlds…"
Ling Tian stood silently.
Still not fully understanding…
But now—
Everyone knew.
He was no longer weak.
The battlefield was silent.
The Guardian Werewolf had bowed.
The Beast King stood frozen.
And Ling Tian… was still trying to understand what just happened.
🐺 Beast King Reveals the Truth
The Beast King slowly walked forward.
His voice was no longer proud… it was serious.
"Ling Tian… what I'm about to tell you… must never be taken lightly."
Ling Tian looked at him.
"You asked earlier… why were you sealed?"
A deep silence filled the air.
The Beast King clenched his fist.
"Because… you were too dangerous to exist."
Ling Tian's eyes widened.
⚡ The Past Uncovered
"Long ago," the Beast King continued,
"the Ling Clan discovered a forbidden power—
a power that could control both creation and destruction."
"But no one could handle it…"
"Except one child."
He looked directly at Ling Tian.
"That child… was you."
Ling Tian's mind shook.
"No… that's not possible…"
The Guardian Werewolf stepped forward.
"It is true."
"You were born with Dual Core Energy—
light and darkness perfectly balanced."
"But that balance… once broke."
🌑 The Disaster
The sky darkened slightly, as if reacting to the story.
The Beast King continued:
"You lost control."
"In a single moment… you almost destroyed an entire realm."
Ling Tian's hands trembled.
"I… did that?"
The Guardian spoke again:
"To save existence… your power was sealed."
"Your memories erased."
"And your body weakened… so you could never awaken again."
A heavy silence fell.
👁️ But Someone Was Watching…
Far away… in a dark unknown space—
A pair of glowing eyes opened.
A cold voice echoed:
"So… the sealed one has awakened."
A shadowy figure stepped forward, surrounded by black energy.
This was no ordinary enemy.
This was someone who knew the truth.
😈 The First True Villain Appears
Back on the battlefield—
A crack suddenly appeared in the sky.
⚡ CRRRRACK!
Dark energy poured out.
The Beast King's face turned pale.
"No… not now…"
From the crack, a figure slowly descended.
Covered in shadows… with glowing red eyes.
"Ling Tian…" the figure said calmly.
"I've been waiting for you."
Ling Tian gripped his sword.
"Who are you?"
The figure smiled.
"I am the one who witnessed your destruction…"
"…and the one who will finish it."
🐺 Guardian's Warning
The Guardian Werewolf stepped in front of Ling Tian.
Its voice turned heavy.
"Be careful…"
"This is no ordinary enemy…"
"This… is the one who helped seal you."
⚡ Cliffhanger Moment
The villain raised his hand—
⚡ Darkness gathered instantly.
The Beast King couldn't move.
"This pressure… I can't even breathe!"
Yue Ling's book trembled violently.
"Danger level: Unknown…"
"Survival probability: Low…"
Ling Tian stepped forward anyway.
His eyes burned with determination.
"I don't care who you are…"
"This time… I won't lose control."
