With a proud smile on her face, Hu Liena raised her staff, the glimmering spirit ring adorning it catching the sunlight. Her eyes sparkled with pride, reflecting the thrill of her newfound power.
"My second spirit ability is the 'Psychic Storm,'" she declared, her voice ringing out with confidence. "It allows me to conjure a raging tempest of mental energy, capable of overwhelming even the strongest opponents."
Qin Chen, Xiao Wu, and their companions couldn't hide their amazement. Such a potent ability was a testament to Hu Liena's prowess as a spirit master. They exchanged glances, acknowledging the newfound strength within their team.
"Wow, that sounds incredible," Xiao Wu exclaimed, her eyes wide with admiration.
"You'll definitely make a formidable opponent with that ability," added Qin Chen, his tone filled with respect.
Hu Liena nodded, gratitude shining in her eyes. "Thank you, both of you. I couldn't have done it without your support and teamwork."
Gui Mei, observing from the side, chimed in, his voice filled with pride. "Your cooperation and unity in battle were impressive. Remember, your strength as a team will be crucial in the challenges that lie ahead."
With a final nod of understanding, the trio turned their attention back to the Spirit Hall looming before them. Its grand doors stood tall, guardians to a world of knowledge and trials. They felt a mix of excitement and trepidation, their hearts pounding in anticipation of the adventures awaiting them inside.
"Okay, kids, come here," Gui Mei instructed, his tone a blend of authority and mentorship. "Now that Hu Liena has found her second spirit ring, it's time to return to the Spirit Hall."
They followed Gui Mei, their steps filled with purpose and determination. The journey back was quieter this time, each member lost in their thoughts, contemplating the challenges they had overcome and those that awaited them.
As they approached the Spirit Hall's entrance, Gui Mei turned to them once more, his eyes reflecting the pride he felt for his young proteges. "Remember, the Spirit Hall is not just a school; it's a battlefield of spirits and willpower. Stay vigilant, trust in your abilities, and most importantly, trust in each other. Now Qin Chen and Xiao Wu I'll bring you two to meet the pope of the Spirit Hall, while the other can rest."
Hearing that Yan and Xie Yue nodded their head and directly leave to practice their cultivation, while Hu Liena just stood there silently.
"I think I'll also accompany them senior; I also need to tell teacher about my second spirit ring," Hu Liena said with full of determination.
Hearing that Yue Guan and Gui Mei agree to the proposal, while both Qin Chen and Xiao Wu was left speechless, they never had imagined that Hu Liena turn out to be the discipline of the pope.
Looking at the reaction of both Qin Chen and also Xiao Wu, Hu Liena can only laugh at their reaction.
With a mischievous grin, Hu Liena couldn't resist teasing her companions. "Surprised, aren't you? Well, there's a lot you don't know about me yet."
Qin Chen and Xiao Wu exchanged bemused glances. They had underestimated Hu Liena, and her connection to the pope only added to the mystery surrounding her.
Gui Mei nodded, acknowledging Hu Liena's decision. "Very well, accompany them. It's a great opportunity for you to strengthen your ties within the Spirit Hall."
With that settled, Gui Mei turned to Qin Chen and Xiao Wu. "Follow me. Meeting the pope is a significant event, and it's an honor reserved for exceptional talents like yourselves."
