The contestant is too old, sister Zhou is crazy

"Hold on, this is our common test!" Su Mo clenched his teeth. Even though sweat dripped down his forehead, he did not waver at all.

In this test, the personality traits of the four people were infinitely magnified: Su Mo's perseverance, Yueyue's bravery, Zhao Ming's curiosity and exploration, and Li Zixue's wisdom and calmness, all invisibly pushed each other forward and jointly resisted the impact from the unknown.

As the light gradually faded, the four opened their eyes and found that not only were they unharmed, but they also possessed deeper inner strength and a keener perception of their surroundings.

"We succeeded?" Zhao Ming looked around in disbelief. The sword in his hand emitted a faint glow under the blessing of new power.

"It seems that we have become the key to unlocking the future." Li Zixue lowered his head, and new runes appeared on the Book of Wisdom, which seemed to be the code leading to a new era.

The mysterious shadow guard's figure appeared more determined in the interweaving of light and shadow. He nodded slightly, and for the first time, a hint of tenderness and hope appeared in his eyes.

"What should we do next?" Yueyue's voice was filled with anticipation, and she couldn't wait to see the results of their efforts.

"Go back to the starting point, tell the alliance everything here, and find a way to use this power to balance the world." Su Mo looked into the distance, where was their home and everything they swore to protect with their life.

"Then what are you waiting for, let's go home." Yueyue said with a bright smile on her face. At this moment, they seemed to see the dawn of hope.

The four of them stepped out of the ancient ruins, with their backs to the magnificent building that gradually disappeared in the morning light, their hearts filled with unprecedented confidence and strength. They knew that the road ahead was still long and difficult, but as long as the four of them walked side by side, nothing was impossible.

"No matter what the future holds, having you by my side is my greatest luck." Su Mo turned around and gave his friends a sincere smile.

"The same to you. We are a team that is going to make history together!" Zhao Ming smiled openly, with the light of an adventurer flashing in his eyes.

"Yes, for a bright future." Li Zixue echoed softly, and the Book of Wisdom glowed warmly in the sunlight.

Although the mysterious shadow guard remained silent, his firm steps were enough to show his deep trust and commitment to this team.

"Let's set off, towards the light and the unknown." After Su Mo finished speaking, the four of them walked forward in unison. Their shadows stretched out in the morning light and intertwined with each other, as if foreshadowing the beginning of a legend.

Walking down the steps of the ruins, the dangerous peaks and mazes that once daunted travelers no longer seemed so scary in their eyes. Every step they took was filled with strength and faith, as if they had truly become beings that could change the world.

"Come to think of it, we've been through so much along the way. If someone could record our story, it would definitely be very popular!" Zhao Ming said as he walked, his eyes flashing with longing for the future.

"Record the story? I'm willing to try." Li Zixue smiled, and the Book of Wisdom closed gently, as if agreeing with her idea. "However, the best stories are always those that are yet to be continued."

Yueyue smiled when she heard this: "Then let's continue to write our own legend and let future generations pass it on."

Although the mysterious shadow guard remained silent, his figure followed closely behind, providing the team with the most solid support. His presence was more powerful than any words, and he was an indispensable part of the team.

As they walked, the clouds in the sky gradually dissipated, and the sun shone on the way home, covering them with a layer of golden battle robes. The scenery along the way seemed to be more vibrant because of their return, with birds singing and flowers blooming, a harmonious scene.

"Look over there, home, we are back!" Zhao Ming pointed to the familiar and friendly outline in the distance and quickened his pace.

As they approached the Alliance headquarters, their legends began to spread in the streets and alleys, and the crowds were talking about them. Their return undoubtedly brought a ray of hope to this world on the brink of turmoil.

Finally, the four of them stepped into the gate of the alliance headquarters. In that familiar and solemn environment, the top leaders of the alliance had been waiting for a long time.

"You did it!" The elder of the alliance could not hide his excitement. "Please tell us the secret of the ancient ruins and how to use that power to protect our world."

Su Mo stood up, his eyes were firm and his voice was steady: "We found that power itself is neither good nor evil. The key lies in the choice of the user. We need to establish a mechanism to ensure that this power is used for justice, rather than becoming a tool for destruction."

Li Zixue added: "Also, the abilities we each acquired seem to exist to balance different aspects of the world. We are willing to share our discoveries and help the alliance build a new defense system."

Yueyue and the Mysterious Shadow Guard also expressed their support in their own way. Their solidarity and determination infected everyone present.

After the meeting, warm applause broke out in the alliance headquarters. The four people understood that this was not only an affirmation of them, but also an expectation for the infinite possibilities in the future.

"Now, we can finally take a break." Yueyue suggested, with a hint of imperceptible fatigue in her tone, but more of optimism about the future.

Su Mo smiled at his companions and suggested, "Why don't we have a small party tonight to celebrate our return and the new chapter we are about to start."

"Good idea!" Zhao Ming was the first to respond, his eyes flashing with eagerness, "This time, I will cook a sumptuous dinner for everyone."

Li Zixue and the mysterious shadow guard also nodded, and smiles slowly spread across their faces. This team composed of different individuals has become more indestructible after going through all kinds of hardships.

As night fell, the four of them sat together at a small gathering, and laughter and conversation filled the room. Their stories, like the candlelight on their table, were small but bright, warming each other's hearts and heralding the coming of a new dawn.

"Come, let's drink to our friendship and our bright future!" Su Mo raised his glass and everyone responded. The crisp sound of clinking glasses echoed in the room, melodious and far-reaching.

"Cheers!" Yueyue, Zhao Ming, Li Zixue and the mysterious shadow guard responded in unison. The wine glasses clinked together with a crisp sound, as if it was a farewell to past adventures and a preview of future challenges.

"Come to think of it, we haven't officially given our team a name yet!" Zhao Ming suddenly had an idea, with a cunning light flashing in his eyes, "After all, a heroic team should have a resounding title."

"How about 'Dawn Guardian'?" Yueyue suggested, her tone full of expectation, "It means that no matter how deep the darkness is, we are the first ray of light that leads the world to light."

Li Zixue nodded gently. "It's very meaningful. I like this name. It not only represents our beliefs, but also symbolizes our commitment to the future."

Although the mysterious shadow guard was still taciturn, a hint of recognition flashed in his eyes. He said in an almost inaudible voice: "Dawn... Very good."

Su Mo smiled and looked around at everyone. His heart was filled with not only recognition for the team, but also deep trust and tacit understanding between them. "Then it's settled. 'Dawn Guardian', we will be the bearers of this name and protect every ray of light in this world."

The party was gradually coming to an end. The night outside was getting darker, but the cabin was warm and full of energy. They talked about the future and thought about how to better use their respective powers to maintain world peace and order.

"I think we can open an academy." Li Zixue suddenly said, gently opening the book of wisdom in her hand, as if it had infinite wisdom. "Teach knowledge and guide young people with potential to use power correctly. Only in this way can we prevent the misuse of power from the root."

"Yes, education is indeed important." Su Mo agreed, "And I can be responsible for training their combat skills and tactical applications, so that everyone can become the master of their own power."

"Haha, what about me? I don't want to just teach people how to cook." Zhao Ming interrupted half-jokingly, and then said seriously, "I want to establish an explorer's guild to encourage people to explore the unknown, but more importantly, to teach them to respect and protect everything we discover."

Yueyue pondered for a moment, with a determined light in her eyes. "I hope there can be an organization that is responsible for coordinating conflicts between various forces, just like an arbitrator, to maintain balance and justice."

The mysterious shadow guard listened quietly, and suddenly spoke, "I will be your shield and the sharp blade in all actions. In the dark, I will clear all obstacles for the Dawn Guardians."

Their plans gradually took shape during the conversation, and everyone's eyes were filled with infinite longing and determination for the future.

At the end of the party, a brilliant firework suddenly bloomed in the night sky outside, as if cheering for their new life and dreams. They walked to the window together, looking up at the bright light, their hearts filled with strength and hope.

"It seems that even the sky is celebrating for us." Yueyue said with a smile, the colorful fireworks reflected in her eyes, as if she saw countless beautiful futures.

"Yes, but remember, the real celebration is when we actually put our plans into practice and make the world different because of us." Su Mo's voice was steady and powerful.

"Then what are we waiting for?" Zhao Ming rubbed his hands, his eyes full of eagerness, "Let's start our new journey tomorrow!"

"Indeed, there is no time to waste." Su Mo nodded, his eyes gleaming with determination. "Tomorrow is the day when we, the Dawn Guardians, will set sail. Let us start by establishing the academy and sow the seeds of knowledge and hope."

Yueyue looked up at the night sky, the stars were shining brightly, as if it was an endless revelation. "Before that, I think we should first visit those wise men who have helped us before and invite them to join us, or serve as consultants to provide us with valuable advice."

"Good idea, Yueyue." Li Zixue flipped through the book of wisdom with a smile on her face. "Books and knowledge are the cornerstones of strength. With the wisdom of our predecessors, our academy will become even stronger."

Zhao Ming clapped his hands excitedly. "The Explorers Guild cannot fall behind. I will start preparations early tomorrow morning to find like-minded people and formulate exploration guidelines to ensure that every expedition can return safely and gain something."

Although the mysterious shadow guard was silent, he silently took note of everyone's plan and nodded occasionally to show his approval. He had already made up his mind and was ready to take action secretly to clear the obstacles for the Dawn Guardians every step forward.

The next morning, the sun was shining, and the four of them were ready to go. Their figures looked particularly tall and firm in the morning sun. Su Mo waved his hand, and the group set off on their journey with a new mission.

The location of the academy was finally decided in a scenic valley. Not only is the environment beautiful, but it also contains a kind of tranquil and profound power, which is suitable for students to study quietly. Su Mo personally supervised the construction, not letting go of every detail, to ensure that the academy can become a cradle for cultivating future guardians.

At the same time, Zhao Ming was organizing the establishment of the Explorers Guild on the other side of the city. He traveled around, gave speeches and propaganda, and soon attracted many young people who yearned for the unknown and loved adventure to join. Their eyes were burning with desire for adventure and respect for the unknown.

Li Zixue's library has gradually expanded. She has not only collected classic works in various fields, but also personally compiled textbooks. The content ranges from the origin of power to applied ethics, covering all the theoretical basis needed to maintain the balance of the world.

Yueyue set up a mediation committee, which quickly gained recognition and support from all parties. Under Yueyue's leadership, the committee successfully mediated several potential conflicts and effectively maintained the balance and harmony between different groups.

One night after everything was back on track, the four of them got together again. The moonlight shone gently on them, reflecting one unforgettable journey after another.

"I didn't expect that we actually did it." Yueyue was filled with emotion, tears flashing in her eyes, but more of it was a sense of pride and satisfaction.

Su Mo smiled and put his arm around her shoulders. "This is just the beginning. The Dawn Guardians still have a long way to go, but we have proven that as long as we have faith, there are no difficulties that cannot be overcome."

"Moreover, our team is still growing." Zhao Ming raised the beer in his hand and pointed to the increasing number of companions around him. They were either discussing academics or sharing their adventure experiences. Everyone gathered here because of the ideals of Dawn Guardians.

Li Zixue smiled and looked at everyone. "Yes, everyone who joins us has hope for a bright future. This power will lead us to overcome all obstacles."

The mysterious shadow guard rarely spoke up. He slowly said, "The future we draw together is as vast and boundless as the starry sky. No matter when and where, I will be your strongest backing." (End of this chapter)
