Chapter 587 - 293: Realization_1
In the midst of the bird-filled, fragrant forest, the light suddenly dimmed. An invisible force of oppression made Long Dangdang’s nerves tense up instantly.
Qing Mann told him that to pass the test, he would have to walk out of this forest. But straight ahead, he saw his opponent. There were multiple Qing Manns. Yes, each one looked the same yet different. The nearer Qing Manns appeared more transparent, while the ones further away seemed more solid.
Long Dangdang turned his head towards Qing Mann, who gave him a faint smile, saying, "Go. You must experience me first before we can truly bond."
"Alright." Long Dangdang agreed. His Inaugural Silver Waves Magic was already destroyed during a confrontation against the 9th Rank undead, so he tested and found that he also couldn’t use his storage spirit tool in this world, ruling out all his equipment. The only things he could communicate with were his own spirit furnace and his inner and outer spiritual power.
Facing such a challenge, Long Dangdang was fearlessly calm. As Qing Mann had said, to truly control and bond with it, he first needed to understand it. This, he assumed, was the true meaning of the test. He initially formed a pact with the Clear Moon Vast Ocean Spirit Furnace, but did he ever truly understand the Vast Ocean? It was only through the gradually revealed abilities of the Vast Ocean that he began to grasp a fraction of its iceberg-like power.
In that moment, an enlightenment rose in his heart. Wasn’t the so-called test all about really controlling the Wisdom Spirit Furnace? Perhaps he and the spirit furnace had only been casually combined before, and what was termed a "contract" was merely a slow process of integration. Truly mastering and using the Wisdom Spirit Furnace would require going through this evolution test and truly understanding the power of the spirit furnace.
With this thought, he became even more determined. Taking a few swift steps, he quickly closed in on the first Qing Mann.
This Qing Mann, almost translucent and located on his left, had a striking, somewhat enchanting face in this transparent state. As Long Dangdang approached, he reached out his hand to launch an attack.
Long Dangdang’s reaction was swift. He was going to dodge instinctively, but before he could command his body to move, a "pop" sounded, and Qing Mann’s palm had already hit him.
