Ma Xiaotao was prepared. The moment Wang Nan shot into the sky, golden-red wings appeared behind her, and she ascended into the air.
The next moment, sharp, thorn-like plants erupted from underground, but they landed in empty space, following Wang Nan and Ma Xiaotao's movements.
"You are not the good person that individual spoke of at all."
Youyou's voice held a hint of grievance. "I felt a comfortable aura from you the first time I saw you. I thought you would be a good person."
"Youyou, how do you determine that I am not a good person?"
"You don't even dare to accept the test left by that person."
"Youyou, I've already said it. I have family and friends outside, and they are equally important in my Heart-Nature."
Wang Nan, of course, knew that the "poison" Youyou mentioned wouldn't be actual poison; it was more likely an Immortal Herb that would be very beneficial to him.
However, he was unwilling to accept such an unreasonable test.
This place was a paradise, and Wang Nan agreed that it shouldn't fall into the hands of those with ill intentions. But testing whether someone was a "good person" or what their Heart-Nature was like couldn't be done in such an illogical way.
It was called a test, but it felt more like a "God's joke," without any basis or reason.
How many normal people could pass such a joke-like "test"?
His mental force surged, and the figure of the Evil Breaking Dragon appeared beside Wang Nan.
The Evil Breaking Dragon evolved from the Evil-Breaking Dragon, and like the Evil-Breaking Dragon, it embodied the righteous energy of Heaven and Earth. As it circled Wang Nan, its dragon roar echoed throughout the valley, and the golden light on its body was exceptionally dazzling.
"Youyou, what kind of person do you consider a good person?"
"Don't waste words with him!"
Another voice rang out from the extremely hot side of the lake, much more heroic than Youyou's. The red and white lake water, on the fiery red side, seemed to boil, and a thick stream of water shot into the sky, assailing the two of them.
Ma Xiaotao's fifth spirit ring lit up, and a Phoenix made of flames spread its wings, flying to meet the stream of water.
Both possessing ultimate fire, in a contest of spirit power, Ma Xiaotao, with her Ultimate Spirit, was not at a disadvantage against a 100,000-year Spirit Beast.
"Youyou, this treasure land is rare in the world, and your cultivation has not been easy. I don't want to destroy this place, nor do I want to harm you without reason. It's just that the words of 'that person' you speak of are not the absolute truth of the world."
Youyou remained silent, but another aura rose from the lakeside. This time, what assailed them was the extreme cold of white.
Sighing, the golden Coiling Dragon Staff glowed brightly. Beside Wang Nan, his fourth spirit ring lit up, and the Evil Breaking Dragon circled once, golden scales appearing one by one, tightly covering Wang Nan's entire body.
Dragon Might spread outwards from Wang Nan.
In an instant, an invisible storm seemed to spread, and all the plants in the valley bowed slightly at this moment.
His third spirit ring lit up, and the Coiling Dragon Staff pointed forward. The golden long rod, like a giant dragon, landed in the air. The sky shattered, and an invisible ripple spread out, blocking all the lake water that was assailing him.
Although Youyou and these Spirit Beasts possessed 100,000 years of cultivation, their cultivation was achieved with the help of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. The actual time they had lived was far less than their cultivation indicated, and fear already arose the moment the Dragon Might appeared.
Looking at the performance of these Spirit Beasts, Wang Nan couldn't quite tell whether this place was a good thing or a bad thing for them.
Plants that could only live here, even with 100,000 years of cultivation, let alone undergoing tribulations, even when facing Dragon Might, their aura had already weakened.
Forcing growth was not a good thing for Youyou and these Spirit Beasts. However, for Spirit Masters, Immortal Herbs having ten times the growth speed was naturally excellent.
No wonder Youyou's name contained the words "Immortal Grade."
Although he was speaking, Wang Nan's movements did not stop. His brow-centered spirit core rotated rapidly, and the spirit power within his body flowed continuously. At this moment, he was not only using the Coiling Dragon Staff, but he was also, himself, absorbing the elemental force of Heaven and Earth using the "magic" methods of another world.
Dense spirit power and vast mental force condensed around him. The entire valley seemed to tremble slightly due to Wang Nan's power. Above the lake, the red and white lake water churned, creating layers of waves.
This was truly the Heavenly Might of Heaven and Earth.
"Youyou, what are you doing? We can't hold on like this." A voice rang out from among the plants.
By the lake, the giant pink flower was swaying slightly. Youyou remained silent, but several vines still assailed Wang Nan.
With Youyou's addition, the lake water behind it became even more active, also containing an aura that did not belong to them.
The poisonous mist above their heads became increasingly chaotic due to Wang Nan, with the originally brilliant seven colors mixing into a single mass. On the ground, almost all the plants began to sway slightly. Their auras gradually unified, and the entire valley seemed to come alive, driving away Wang Nan and Ma Xiaotao.
But as Wang Nan's sixth spirit ring lit up, in the distant sky, flashes of lightning seemed to pass through the poisonous mist and fall into the valley. Wang Nan raised both arms, a giant phantom appearing behind him, and the golden long rod, carrying immense Heavenly Might, descended into the valley.
The resistance of these plant Spirit Beasts did not last long before being broken by Wang Nan.
Youyou had no eyes, but it "saw" the golden long rod growing larger and larger before its "eyes."
The overwhelming mental force descended with the long rod, shattering all its defensive measures and surging into its body.
"Youyou!"
A hurried voice rang out, and the red and white lake boiled violently. Two powerful auras within became increasingly distinct, and also felt more familiar to Wang Nan.
The Coiling Dragon Staff descended, and a huge impact spread outwards. Countless vines growing on the rock wall snapped, and even the poisonous mist that concealed this place seemed to thin slightly at this moment.
By the lake, even a few 100,000-year Spirit Beasts could not withstand this impact and involuntarily fell backward.
Youyou was not harmed.
Two streams of water, one red and one white, rushed out of the lake, protecting it. The moment these two streams of water appeared, the dragon god's tear on Wang Nan's left wrist glowed with a faint halo, the red and blue colors exceptionally bright.
Although Wang Nan ultimately held back his strength, these two streams of water also caught his attention.
The water gurgled, tiny lines of water forming dragon scale shapes. The red and white intertwined and embraced each other, like two true dragons.
