Douluo Continent: Starting from Killing Arou with a Single Sword.

"Oh my goodness—"

Ning Mumu landed on the floor, her bottom throbbing with pain. The small hole seemed to possess spatial power, transporting Ning Mumu there in the blink of an eye. Before she could even worry about her bottom, a stone door suddenly appeared in front of her.

Ning Mumu then looked around—before her stood a serene and bright hall. The hall blended Chinese and Western styles, featuring both traditional Chinese eaves and corners and a Western-style dome. The building was approximately 80 or 90 meters high and 150 meters wide.

The most shocking thing was the stone gate, carved with many ancient and mysterious patterns: creatures with human faces and animal bodies, winding and looping patterns, and strange and beautiful colors... all intertwined, with drops of red blood flowing from human eyes, carrying a sense of pity and determination. The eeriness of the entire stone gate was completely out of place with the sanctity of the main hall, and it also gave Ning Mumu a jolt.

This stone gate actually exudes demonic energy and the aura of the unorthodox path. The unorthodox path is the most difficult technique to cultivate in the cultivation world; one wrong step and one can fall into the demonic path. Could it be that Ning Mumu stared at the stone gate, wondering if it was the work of some powerful being who failed in cultivating the unorthodox path and was corrupted by demonic energy?

"Hehehe—"

The stone door suddenly opened, and a beam of red light shone on Ning Mumu, then enveloped her.

"They're pulling that surprise attack trick again!" Ning Mumu rolled her eyes, and the next second, she was in another place.

"Welcome to the Realm of Mist, dear adventurer. Here, you can obtain anything you desire, provided you successfully complete the level."

The mysterious voice entered her ears, piquing Ning Mumu's interest. She asked in return, "And what about failure?"

"Your soul will be scattered~" The mysterious voice was gentle and tender, with a seductive allure.

Ning Mumu got goosebumps all over and continued to ask, "But I don't want to clear the game."

"But once you're in, it means you've qualified, so you can't refuse."

"Heh..." Ning Mumu rolled her eyes. "Is this some kind of forced sale?"

But the mysterious voice didn't answer the question. Instead, it continued to tempt, "There must be something you crave in the Realm of Mist, otherwise you wouldn't have come here."

"What are you keeping me in suspense for?" Ning Mumu withdrew her divine sense, somewhat resigned to her fate—wherever her divine sense passed, all was white, and she couldn't see anything at all. It seemed she would have to venture into the Misty Realm; if all else failed, she would use that move.

Ning Mumu made up her mind. Even if she failed the challenge, she had a trump card to protect herself. This so-called Misty Realm might really hold what she wanted.

"Enough talk, let's begin."

At the same moment, Tang San and Xiao Wu met.

"Brother!" Xiao Wu ran towards Tang San without regard for her image, tears streaming down her face, falling onto Tang San, a heartbreaking sight.

"Xiao Wu—" Tang San gently hugged his beloved girl, looking at her injuries, his heart ached unbearably. He regretted it; he hadn't taken good care of Xiao Wu, he hadn't treated her well, and he hadn't protected her.

"Xiao Wu, I was wrong." Tang San apologized to the girl for the first time, his voice trembling slightly.

"It's nothing," Xiao Wu said with a smile, stroking Tang San's face affectionately. "There's no need for us to apologize to each other."

"Brother, I've always believed in you."

Hearing this, Tang San almost burst into tears, and he hugged the girl again. But he didn't see Xiao Wu's dark eyes and the long, dark veil that seemed to seep into his body.

"Brother, I've encountered a legacy."

A flawless version after careful inspection!
