The golem pressed its attack, forcing her onto the defensive. Each strike grew heavier, the heat intensifying with every swing. A flicker of doubt crossed her eyes as her knees weakened.
'Will I really lose?' she thought softly, her confidence wavering.
Shen Yuan, who had already destroyed his second Fla Golem with a series of precise, thunderous strikes, glanced over at Wan Ling.
His sharp eyes noticed the cracks in her protective Qi and the exhaustion in her movents.
'She's at her limit,' Shen Yuan thought, his expression turning hard. 'Just a bit more.'
He thought and went to make quick work of his third Fla Golem with a final thrust of Tyrant's Wrath, lightning bursting from its core like a storm.
With the three down, he turned fully toward Wan Ling's fight.
Her opponent roared, raising both arms to smash her into the ground.
"Ling'er!" Shen Yuan's voice echoed.
Wan Ling gritted her teeth and summoned all her remaining Radiant Qi into her blade. "Radiant Lotus Shield!"
The golden lotus blood around her, intercepting the golem's attack, but the shield cracked and shattered under the force.
Wan Ling was flung backward, crashing against a jagged wall as all the Fiery Qi entered her ridians.
"Damn it!" Shen Yuan cursed under his breath.

'Yue Lan, I swear if you didn't have a good reason for to make her do this I won't forgive you.'
[Calm down, it was necessary to give her a blessing.]
Yue Lan's calm voice echoed in his head, which seed to calm him down as well as he hurriedly went towards her.
All of a sudden, the system interface appeared in his mind.
[System Shop Opened]
[Searching for Item…]
He looked at the screen, which seed to be searching for sothing, and just as he was about to reach there, the screen paused and an item appeared on it.
[Supre Tier Radiant Fla Bloodline Vial – 500,000 Chaos Coins]
Description: A bloodline infused with Radiant and Fire essences. Allows the cultivator to awaken a rare Supre Tier bloodline, greatly enhancing their combat abilities.
"500,000 Chaos Coins, huh?" Shen Yuan muttered to himself. Without a second thought, he confird the purchase.
[Purchase Successful. Item added to Inventory.]
A crystal vial appeared in his hand, filled with a glowing golden liquid that pulsed faintly with fiery energy.
Wan Ling struggled to stand, her sword trembling in her hand. The Fla Golem advanced once more, molten energy spiraling around its core, preparing a devastating strike.
Just as its arm descended, Shen Yuan appeared beside her, his Void Steps bringing him there in an instant.
With a single strike of his spear, he forced the golem back, holding it off temporarily.
"Senior Brother…" Wan Ling whispered weakly, tears threatening to fall from her eyes. "I… I failed you…"
"Don't say that," Shen Yuan said gently, crouching in front of her. He held out the glowing vial. "Sorry, I made you go through this, here, take this."
Wan Ling blinked in confusion, her eyes drawn to the vial. "What… what is this?"
"Sothing quite good," Shen Yuan said with a calm smile. "Trust , Ling'er. This will only benefit you."
Wan Ling nodded her head without a mont of hesitation. "I trust you, Senior Brother."
She took the vial, uncorked it, and drank the golden liquid in one swift motion.
The mont the bloodline entered her body, her eyes widened, and her entire body lit up with radiant and fiery energy.
"Ahh—!" Wan Ling gasped as she collapsed to her knees, the energy surging violently inside her ridians mixing with this new energy.
Her Radiant Qi combined with the newfound Fire essence, forming a new, burning core within her dantian.
Brilliant flas erupted around her, infused with radiant light as if a sun had ignited inside her.
"Radiant Fire Core…" Shen Yuan muttered, watching the transformation with satisfaction. "You're doing it, Ling'er."
Han Qingyu looked towards Wan Ling in shock, despite overpowering the golem, she couldn't finish it off quickly to co and help Wan Ling, but this energy that Wan Ling was radiating made even her have second looks.
The Fla Golem, sensing the surge of power, roared and moved to attack again.
But before it could reach her, Wan Ling's eyes snapped open, glowing with radiant flas. Her body was wreathed in golden fire, her sword now surrounded by blazing lotus petals.
"Radiant Fla Lotus Slash!" Wan Ling shouted, her voice filled with newfound confidence.
She dashed forward in a blur, her blade slicing through the air. The golden flas surged around the Fla Golem's core, burning through its molten body.
BOOM!
The golem let out one last groan before its fiery core shattered, and its form crumbled into ashes.
…
[See? I told you to trust .]
Yue Lan's lazy voice echoed in his head.
Shen Yuan exhaled a sigh, 'But you still scamd huh, why was the bloodline so expensive?'
[What do you an it was expensive? Supre tier items are in that range, you forgot your bloodline?]
'Yes, but I thought it was in the Upper Levels of Supre Tier items that's why it was so expensive.' He asked in confusion.
[Yes, and her new Bloodline is also at that level. She can be the Holy Saintess of the Radiant Lotus Sacred Sect with this bloodline now. The old farts in the sect will surely notice the presence of that bloodline in her when she returns.]
Shen Yuan got silent as he contemplated her words for a second, 'Is there any way to mask her bloodline?'
[Don't bother, it will be better for her to beco the Saintess, it will also be better for you. And the sect won't mistreat her, neither do you need to worry about anything with your Mother being present there.]
Yue Lan slowly explained.
'Well…I guess that's true as well.' Shen Yuan nodded and looked at where Wan Ling was standing.
She stood amidst the dissipating flas, her chest rising and falling as she felt her new cultivation base.
Her aura had grown far stronger, her cultivation having broken through to the Origin Core Creation Realm.
Shen Yuan approached her with a proud smile. "Well done, Ling'er. You've successfully surpassed the Radiant Lotus Sacred Sect techniques and took your first step on a superior path."
Wan Ling turned to him, her face glowing with joy and gratitude and a hint of sothing that she had long hidden.
She slowly ca towards him, putting her sword back in her storage ring.
Shen Yuan gently smiled seeing her like this, he waited for her to say sothing first.
Han Qingyu put away her spear and looked at Wan Ling suspiciously, 'What is she trying to do here?'
Wan Ling ca and stood in front of Shen Yuan, her head lowered as she softly said, "I wouldn't have been able to do this without you…"
She said it in such a small voice that even Shen Yuan looked at her as if wondering whether she wanted to say it or not.
She slowly raised her head, her eyes flashing with small tears as she looked straight into Shen Yuan's eyes, "I don't know how to thank you enough… I just wan-want to say—"
