The Saints' Watchful Eyes — Trial's End in Sight
Back at the sect, the Saints observed with growing interest. Both groups—Xiao Yan and Mi-An, Nem and Di'or—had surpassed the fifth trial. Only two trials remained, and the tension was palpable.
Whispers ran through the gathered disciples, a mix of awe and fear at the display of skill and power from the remaining groups. The path ahead would be even more perilous, and the looming threat of the Ansha hung over them like a dark cloud.
For Xiao Yan, the experience had changed something inside him. He had faced death, seen Mi-An in danger, and awakened a power that he had never imagined. But the trials were far from over, and he knew that what awaited them next could very well determine their fate.
