Inside the hall of the ancient Relic, a warm and powerful energy diffused from the crystal ball, gentle like the spring sun yet carrying an indescribable majesty. Su Yao, Lin Yu, and Zhao Ya were immersed in the shock brought by this energy, not yet fully recovering from the excitement of breaking the barrier, when the gradually approaching footsteps outside the hall struck their heartstrings like heavy hammers.
Su Yao quickly adjusted her state, gripping the Spirit Firmament Bead tightly. A multicolored glow flickered faintly in her palm, illuminating her solemn yet resolute face. "Lin Yu, Zhao Ya, get ready. No matter who comes, we must not let them disrupt the balance here, nor let them take the power of the crystal ball." Her voice was steady and powerful, echoing within the hall and injecting a shot of adrenaline into her companions.
Lin Yu drew his longsword, the blade trembling slightly and emitting a low hum as if impatiently declaring the impending battle. His gaze was as sharp as a hawk's, staring fixedly at the hall entrance. "Hmph! Whoever dares to come and attack will never return!" Zhao Ya rapidly formed hand seals with both hands, a faint blue glow wrapping around her body. The power of her support spell surged quietly, ready at a moment's notice to provide backup for her companions.
