The Qin family members congratulated Qin Ze on his breakthrough, and laughter and cheers filled the family compound.
Qin Ze's mother, Ouyang Qian, stepped forward, her eyes filled with pride.
"Qin Ze, be careful when you go to Longhu Mountain. Although it is mysterious, it holds endless opportunities and challenges," Ouyang Qian gently reminded him. She was proud of her son's growth, but at the same time, she was even more concerned about his safety.
Wang Ying, Wang Tiankai, Zhang Han, and others echoed this sentiment, advising Qin Ze to act cautiously and not to be careless.
They all knew that although Qin Ze's strength had greatly increased after breaking through to the Grandmaster realm, he still had to be careful in the cultivation world and could not underestimate his opponents.
After all, it's not uncommon for a horse to stumble and fall in the cultivation world.
Qin Ze smiled and nodded, feeling the care and expectations of everyone, his heart filled with determination and confidence.
Back in his room, Qin Ze was at peace. He entered the Tower of Babel again, ready to complete the final challenge of the day.
At this moment, the last of the nine monsters, the Fire Dragon, was ready.
The fire dragon was enormous and majestic, stretching for tens of meters. Its body was covered in crimson scales, with flames surging across its surface, making it resemble a true dragon. Its eyes burned with intense heat, radiating a ferocious aura, as if it could unleash destructive flames at any moment.
Qin Ze stared intently at the fire dragon, a surge of fighting spirit rising within him. He knew this would be a fierce battle that should not be underestimated.
His body was gradually enveloped in golden light, and a sword appeared in his hand, exuding a fierce and imposing aura.
With a roar, the fire dragon unleashed a burst of flames and charged towards Qin Ze with heavy strides.
The battle was about to begin, and Qin Ze showed no hesitation. He brandished his longsword, unleashing a fierce attack. Golden light and flames collided in the air, erupting with a deafening roar.
The fire dragon's attacks were incredibly fierce, spewing flames and tearing with its claws and teeth; its power seemed capable of incinerating everything.
Qin Ze kept dodging and counterattacking, his figure moving like lightning between the fire dragon's attacks. His longsword drew golden arcs in his hand, each strike containing immense power.
The battle was extremely fierce, with the fire dragon's flame attacks constantly closing in, but Qin Ze's skills became increasingly proficient. He kept searching for the fire dragon's weaknesses, trying to defeat it.
Time passed second by second, and Qin Ze's body was constantly being eroded by the flames, but he did not back down and his determination grew stronger.
However, the fire dragon's power was simply too great. Its attacks gradually became incredibly fierce, and Qin Ze's body gradually became exhausted under the corrosive effects of the flames.
He gritted his teeth, gathering all his strength into the Dragon Whip, and unleashed a fatal blow.
However, despite Qin Ze's best efforts, he was still unable to defeat the fire dragon.
The fire dragon's body exudes a powerful life force, seemingly able to recover quickly no matter how much damage it suffers.
As time passed, the battle became exceptionally fierce. Qin Ze's body was covered in wounds, and his clothes were charred black, but his eyes grew even more determined.
He understood that this battle was the final test for him to become the successor of the Dragon Whip, and he had to go all out without holding back.
The fierce battle lasted for a long time, and finally, Qin Ze felt his power gradually being exhausted.
He knew he could no longer fight, but he was not discouraged; his gaze remained firm.
"No matter the outcome, I will not give up!" Qin Ze muttered to himself, gathering all his strength once again in the Dragon-Slaying Whip. He unleashed his final strike, charging towards the fire dragon with unwavering resolve.
The roar of the fire dragon echoed in the air, and the power of both reached its peak at this moment, as if space itself was being torn apart.
However, Qin Ze's strength was ultimately no match for the fire dragon's power. He felt a powerful recoil force spread throughout his body, and his body was struck as if by a heavy blow, causing him to stagger back several steps.
Qin Ze struggled to his feet, his breathing rapid, his gaze still fixed on the fire dragon. He knew that although he had tried his best, he still had not been able to defeat one of the strongest of the nine monsters.
"You lost..."
The fire dragon's cold yet authoritative voice rang out.
Qin Ze gradually regained consciousness, and when he opened his eyes, he found himself lying in his bedroom.
The surroundings felt familiar and warm, and an indescribable emotion welled up within him. He lay quietly, recalling the fierce battle with the fire dragon, and couldn't help but marvel at the dragon's immense power.
"It's still not strong enough." Qin Ze muttered to himself, a determined light flashing in his eyes.
He understood that he needed even greater power to defeat the fire dragon.
After resting for two days, Qin Ze felt his body gradually recovering, and he decided to go to Longhu Mountain.
Qin Zhan was very concerned about Qin Ze's safety, so he ordered Wang Ying and Zhang Han to accompany him for protection.
Although Qin Yurou wanted to go with him, Qin Zhan was worried about her safety and firmly refused to let her take any risks.
Liu Ruoxin also heard that Qin Ze was going to Longhu Mountain, and she expressed her hope to go with him.
Qin Ze thought for a moment and finally agreed to Liu Ruoxin's request. Now that Liu Ruoxin had broken through the limitations of her innate Yin body, she had become a first-level expert with considerable strength and could provide assistance.
Thus, Qin Ze, Wang Ying, Zhang Han, and Liu Ruoxin embarked on a journey to Longhu Mountain together.
On the way to Longhu Mountain, the subtle struggle between Liu Ruoxin and Wang Ying gradually comes to light.
They were all important people to Qin Ze, and their distinct personalities led to some unavoidable clashes between them.
