53 Treasure Lis (1/2)
Ct
On the third floor of the revered Ancient Pagoda. Two bodies... A male and female, lay unconscious on the flat grounds. While a kid who has a figure of a 6-year-old is peacefully sitting in a cross-leg position with his eyes shut off.
The female's unconscious body started to slowly move around the ground, as she tries to wake up.
This female body is Feng Yexue.
Feng Yexue was the first one to recover since she was the one who took the easier blows, during their battle yesterday.
She groggily stood up as she tries to recollect her memories from the battle.
She remembered the scene where she and Kyle stood side by side while the child dragon used his Soul Attack against them.
Now that she had re-organized her thoughts, a sad expression escaped her face, as she realized that they lost again.
”Wait... What happened to Kyle?” She panicked as she scours the surrounding area.
Thankfully... After carefully inspecting the area, she found the unconscious Kyle lying on the floor.
Due to her panic, she did not saw the child that was peacefully sitting a few meters away from them.
She then rushed towards Kyle and attempted to wake him up.
She exerted her soul power inside of him, to help him recover faster.

Moments later...
Kyle woke up in a surprise state.
He then saw the worried face of Feng Yexue above him.
”What happened? Are you ok?” She asks anxiously.
Hearing her anxious voice, made him remember the battle yesterday.
”Seems like I lost too... Sorry.” He answered with a solemn face.
He did his best, however, the child was really too much for them.
Due to his intense focus on the battle, he did not bother to count the time, hence he thought that they failed the trial.
Although, hearing him confirm that they lost did not disappoint Feng Yexue.
She was sad because she failed the test again.
However, she was already content on seeing Kyle alive.
Those geniuses on the past all died without mercy in the hands of the child, such as, what she was most afraid was; Kyle dying, if they failed the trial.
She could still try again if she failed the trial this time, but if she losses him because of this trial, then she might be unable to handle it.
Thankfully... The child spared him, so despite them failing to pass the test. Feng Yexue was quite happy with the outcome.
The two of them then,l started to discuss the battle and planned for their future endeavors.
However...
A strong wind blew and the child arrives beside them.
”Are you all recovered?”
The child's voice surprised both of them.
Kyle and Feng Yexue hurriedly shifted and prepared themselves.
The sudden arrival of the child made them anxious, but they weren't idiots, so they hurriedly backed away simultaneously.
”No need to get so frightened. Your trial is already over.”
The child said to calm the both of them.
”Over? What do you mean by over?”
Feng Yexue asked the child with a curious look.
”As I said, your trial is already over since you already passed it. Now then... Follow me.”
The child explained while walking forward.
Feng Yexue and Kyle wondered and was lost in their thoughts. Especially for Feng Yexue because passing the trial was all she had ever wanted since a year ago.
Hearing that they passed the trial, they both unknowingly followed him while carefully re-organizing their thoughts.
”Did you really passed the trial?”
Feng Yexue whispered to Kyle as they both followed the child dragon.
She was the first one who fell, so she asked Kyle because she thought that he was the one who finished the trial.
”I don't... know. I didn't keep tabs on the time since I was busy focusing on the battle. However, I still fell unconscious in the end.”
Kyle replied to her in a whisper while slowly remembering the last battle against the child dragon.
They were busy thinking as they followed the child dragon.
Moments later...
They arrived in an empty field and the child dragon lifted his arm and touched something in the air as if he was activating a hidden door.
Later on... Their hunch was right.
