Xuan Yang stood in the Trial Arena of the Puppet Sect, sunlight filtering through the treetops and casting dappled shadows on the ground. The air was thick with tension.
Today marked his initiation into the sect, and all the disciples were eagerly anticipating this test.
As a boy deemed a waste, Xuan Yang felt a mix of anxiety and expectation swirling within him.
"Are you the so-called waste?" A burly senior brother stepped forward with a sneer, his eyes glinting with provocation.
His name was Lu Ming, recognized as a genius within the sect, powerful and often shining brightly among the disciples.
"Whether I am a waste or not, you'll find out soon enough!" Xuan Yang lifted his chin slightly, a flicker of determination flashing in his eyes.
His voice was not loud, but it carried an indomitable spirit.
"Hmph, a waste is still a waste. Today, I'll show you what true power looks like!" Lu Ming scoffed, then summoned his Ability, causing the air around them to grow heavy with pressure.
As the trial began, Lu Ming struck first, conjuring a massive Puppet Master that lunged toward Xuan Yang.
Xuan Yang's heart raced, instinctively taking a step back, but he knew he could not retreat.
"Shadow Puppet, awaken!" At that critical moment, a powerful call resonated deep within him.
He closed his eyes and felt the latent power within him surge forth, as if an invisible force was guiding him.
"What?!" Lu Ming was taken aback, suddenly feeling an overwhelming sense of pressure bearing down on him.
His Puppet Master halted mid-air, seemingly bound by an unseen force.
"Go!" Xuan Yang suddenly opened his eyes, conjuring a sphere of Black Shadow in his hand, which transformed into a Shadow Puppet that charged towards Lu Ming's Puppet Master.
The Shadow Puppet moved with lightning speed, instantly shattering Lu Ming's Puppet Master into a cloud of black smoke.
"This... how is this possible!" Lu Ming's face showed shock, a hint of fear flashing in his eyes.
He never expected that this worthless person he had looked down upon would possess such immense power.
"Tell me, who is the worthless one now, you or me?" Xuan Yang's voice echoed in the Trial Arena, filled with unparalleled confidence and determination.
His Shadow Puppet circled in the air, as if declaring his rise.
The surrounding disciples widened their eyes in disbelief, watching the scene unfold before them.
The Puppet Sect Master was momentarily taken aback, a glimmer of appreciation crossing his gaze.
"Well done, Xuan Yang, you have passed the trial!" The Master's voice boomed like thunder, shaking the entire Trial Arena.
At that moment, on the other side of the Trial Arena, Qu Si Yang was also observing everything.
Surprise and admiration flickered in her eyes as her impression of Xuan Yang changed dramatically.
The boy she once considered worthless now displayed strength that left her utterly astonished.
"He really is impressive..." Qu Si Yang murmured softly to herself, her feelings for Xuan Yang gradually warming.
After the trial ended, Xuan Yang stepped down from the Trial Arena, his heart filled with a sense of accomplishment.
He had finally proven himself, no longer the laughingstock he once was. His gaze swept over the crowd, ultimately landing on Qu Si Yang.
"You’re here too?" Xuan Yang smiled slightly as he approached Qu Si Yang.
"I’ve been watching you. I didn’t expect you to be so impressive," Qu Si Yang said, a smile breaking across her face, her eyes sparkling with warmth.
"Thank you, Qu Si Yang." Xuan Yang felt a warmth in his heart, sensing a long-lost affection.
He knew that his journey in this sect was not just about gaining power; there were deeper emotions waiting for him to explore.
However, just as they were exchanging words, a commotion erupted on the other side of the Trial Arena.
Several disciples surrounded a frail girl, who was none other than Qu Si Yang, ostracized by the others.
A hint of helplessness crossed her face, and unease flickered in her eyes.
"What are you doing?!" Xuan Yang's heart tightened as he rushed over. He pushed through the crowd without hesitation and stood protectively in front of Qu Si Yang.
"You worthless piece of trash, stay out of this!" one disciple said coldly, disdain evident in his eyes.
"I am not trash!" Xuan Yang's voice was firm and powerful, as if declaring his identity and strength.
"Do you really think you're impressive? In front of us, you're still just trash!" another disciple mocked, contempt flashing in his eyes.
"I will show you what true power really is!" A flicker of anger flashed in Xuan Yang's eyes as his Shadow Puppet coalesced behind him, seemingly waiting for his command.
"Go!" With a single command from Xuan Yang, the Shadow Puppet lunged at the disciples like a ferocious beast, instantly knocking them back.
The surrounding disciples retreated in terror, unable to believe the scene unfolding before them.
"How... how could you possess such power?" one disciple stammered, fear etched on his face and anxiety filling his heart.
"I told you, I am not useless!" Xuan Yang's voice thundered, imbued with immense authority and confidence.
Qu Si Yang watched everything unfold from the side, her gratitude and admiration for Xuan Yang deepening with each passing moment.
She understood that Xuan Yang was fighting not just for himself but also to protect her.
"Thank you, Xuan Yang," Qu Si Yang said softly yet firmly, tears of emotion glistening in her eyes.
"It's nothing. I will always protect you," Xuan Yang replied with a gentle smile, warmth flooding his heart.
He knew that his journey in this Sect was not solely about power; there were deeper emotions waiting for him to explore.
However, the end of the trial did not signify a return to calm.
With Xuan Yang's rise, the leader of the Shadow Force began to take a keen interest in him. His gaze was sharp as an eagle's, secretly observing Xuan Yang's every move.
"This boy seems to be quite extraordinary..." A sinister smile crept across the shadow leader's lips as he plotted his next steps.
"I will make you my pawn, Puppet Master," the Shadow whispered to itself, a sinister glint flickering in its eyes.
At that moment, the Master's voice echoed once more: "Xuan Yang, congratulations on passing the trial. Next, I have a special task for you."
"What task?" Xuan Yang felt a jolt of tension and anticipation in his heart.
"Head to the Misty Forest and seek out the Puppet Heart." The Master's voice thundered, shaking the entire Trial Arena.
"The Puppet Heart?" Xuan Yang's heart raced, knowing this would be a crucial step in awakening his powers.
"Indeed, the Puppet Heart is the source of the Puppet Master's strength. Only by finding it can you truly awaken your potential," the Master's tone was laced with seriousness.
"I will go!" Xuan Yang nodded firmly, a fierce determination igniting within him.
"Remember, the Misty Forest is fraught with danger; you must be cautious," the Master's voice rang out like a warning bell, reminding Xuan Yang.
"I will be careful!" Xuan Yang's voice was resolute and strong, filled with expectation and resolve.
With the mission assigned, Xuan Yang's adventure was about to begin. He understood that the path ahead was filled with uncertainty and challenges, but he was ready to face whatever trials awaited him.
"I will definitely find the Puppet Heart and become the true Puppet Master!" Xuan Yang silently vowed, his eyes shining with unwavering determination.
