Siheyuan: I, He Yuzhu, beat up all the beasts!

"Foolish mortals, do you think this can stop the coming of darkness?" The black-robed man's voice was icy cold, and the air around them seemed to freeze.

"We may be small, but justice and love will never be extinguished." He Yuzhu straightened his back and responded without fear. Behind him, his teammates stood closely together, forming an indestructible wall.

"Humph, then let me see how powerful your so-called 'justice' is!" The black-robed man waved his hand, and countless shadow creatures surged out, rushing towards the crowd like a tide.

The battle broke out instantly, sword lights and magic intertwined into gorgeous fireworks, each confrontation was accompanied by a collision of power, and the air was filled with tension and passion. Although passers-by and volunteers who joined later were not strong, they also contributed in their own ways, either to boost morale or to assist in treatment. Everyone used their actions to prove He Yuzhu's words - victory belongs to those who are willing to fight for what they love.

"Look, they are so amazing!" A little boy held his mother's hand, his eyes sparkling, full of admiration and hope.

"Yes, as long as they have faith, ordinary people can become heroes." The mother replied with a smile, her eyes full of satisfaction.

After a fierce battle, as the last shadow creature was defeated, the black-robed man had to retreat and disappeared into a distorted space, leaving behind an unwilling oath: "This game has just begun, just wait and see!"

The Sword of Light was finally fully awakened under He Yuzhu's touch. The light on the sword turned into a rainbow-like bridge, connecting everyone's hearts. An unprecedented power flowed between them, making everyone feel unprecedented unity and strength.

"We did it!" the huntress said excitedly, tears glistening in her eyes, tears of joy and relief.

"But this is just the beginning." He Yuzhu stared into the distance, his tone firm, "Darkness will not give up easily, we need to keep moving forward."

"So, Captain, where is the next stop?" The dwarf craftsman in the team wiped the sweat off his face, his eyes burning with undying enthusiasm.

"We need to find the ancient wise man," He Yuzhu said in a deep voice, "It is said that only he knows how to seal the source of darkness. This will be a difficult and dangerous path, but we have no choice."

"As long as the captain leads the way, we will follow him even through mountains of swords and seas of fire!" A rough voice sounded. It was from the barbarian warrior in the team. He patted his chest with a heroic look on his face.

Everyone smiled knowingly, and their eyes exchanged with each other. No more words were needed, and they understood each other. At this moment, a crack suddenly appeared in the sky, and a woman in a gorgeous robe walked out slowly. Her appearance seemed to make the time around her stop.

"My fellow warriors, I am the messenger of the God of Time," she said in a voice as clear as spring water, with irresistible majesty, "I have conveyed your courage and determination to the ears of the gods. But to completely defeat the darkness, the Sword of Light alone is not enough. I will grant you an ancient mission. If you complete it, you will gain the power to change your destiny."

The crowd immediately started talking, with both curiosity and uneasiness. The messenger smiled and unfolded the scroll in his hand. A piece of golden text slowly emerged in the air. Under the shining light, each word seemed to contain infinite wisdom and power.

"This is... a map of an ancient secret realm!" The old man's voice trembled a little, and he obviously knew something about it. "It is said that there is a treasure that can change the world, but it is also full of unknowns and dangers."

"No matter what lies ahead, we will move forward courageously." He Yuzhu said firmly, his eyes more determined than ever, as if he had already seen the thorny road ahead.

"The captain is right," the young wizard gripped his staff tightly, his eyes flashing with a desire for knowledge, "For light, for this world, there is nothing we cannot overcome!"

At this time, a ragged traveler squeezed out of the crowd, his face was covered with dust, but his eyes were unusually bright.

"Although I don't have the strength to fight, I am willing to guide you. I have done some research on ancient secrets, and perhaps I can help you."

He Yuzhu smiled and nodded to him. This support from a stranger made him feel a deeper sense of responsibility and mission.

“Welcome to join us. Everyone who is willing to fight for light is important.”

Under the gaze of the crowd, the team was ready to set off on a new journey. The little boy held his mother's hand tightly again, his eyes full of admiration and reluctance to leave the heroes.

"Mom, I want to be like them."

"My child, you already possess the most precious qualities - courage and dreams." The mother gently stroked the child's head, "One day in the future, you will stand there and protect everything you love."

"Let's go, friends!" He Yuzhu announced loudly, with unquestionable determination and hope in his voice. Everyone responded to his call and took steps in unison, heading towards the unknown and challenges.

During the journey, they passed through dense forests and crossed steep mountains. Every step was full of hardships, but it also witnessed the growing friendship and trust between them. On the way, they met all kinds of people, and the reactions of every passerby became part of their legendary journey.

"Look over there, is that them? Those warriors fighting against the darkness!" A farmer who was working in the field stopped his work and pointed at the gradually clear figures in the distance, his eyes full of disbelief.

"Yes, I heard that even the messenger of the God of Time has come in person (Nonohao), which is incredible!" The wife next to him echoed, holding tightly in her hand the wild flowers she had just picked, as if she also wanted to offer a blessing to the warriors.

"It would be great if one day I could become one of them." A young man passing by murmured to himself, with a longing gleam in his eyes.

In the team, He Yuzhu and the ragged traveler walked in the front, and their conversation revealed an in-depth discussion of the ancient secrets.

"It is said that there is a time maze in the secret realm. If the person who enters it does not have the correct guidance, he will be lost in the vortex of time forever." The traveler frowned, his expression mixed with worry and excitement.

"Lost in time? It sounds mysterious and dangerous." The female hunter listened attentively, stroking the bowstring in her hand, always ready to face unknown challenges.

"But it is this unknown that is our driving force, isn't it?" He Yuzhu encouraged. His optimism and determination infected everyone.

After a long journey, they finally arrived at the entrance to the ancient secret realm, a portal made of huge stones. The door was engraved with obscure ancient texts, as if telling the glory and secrets of the past.

"This is it, the entrance to the legendary secret realm 680." The traveler whispered, his fingers lightly touching the cold stone wall, as if feeling the weight of history.

Just as everyone was about to step in, an old man in a tattered cloak appeared in front of them. He murmured in an old and mysterious voice: "Young man, the real test has just begun. Remember, in the secret realm, the heart is more important than the sword."

The appearance of the old man startled everyone, and then they all nodded, expressing their understanding and respect. He Yuzhu stepped forward and bowed deeply: "We will remember the teachings of our predecessors."

(adca) In the exploration of the ancient secret realm, they encountered countless rare and exotic animals, solved puzzles one after another, and witnessed the breathtaking miracles in the secret realm. Every breakthrough in difficulty is a test of their teamwork and wisdom, and also a test of their beliefs.

"Captain, there is light ahead!" The young wizard pointed ahead, where something seemed to be flashing, attracting everyone's attention.

They quickened their pace and eventually discovered that it was a gem floating in the air, emitting a gentle yet powerful light. It was the legendary treasure that could turn the world around - the Heart of Time.

"We found it!" The huntress cheered, tears streaming down her face again, but this time, it was pure joy.

Just as everyone was about to take down the Heart of Time, a voice sounded in their hearts: "The real test is actually your trust and sacrifice for each other. The Heart of Time is just a symbol. The light in your hearts is the key to dispelling the darkness."

"We understand." He Yuzhu closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and when he opened his eyes again, his eyes were full of determination, "No matter what the road ahead is, we must stand shoulder to shoulder and move forward together."

Everyone present felt an unprecedented warmth and strength, which came from mutual trust and connection, far surpassing any external treasure.

"So, where should we go now?" The dwarf craftsman wiped the sweat from his forehead and looked at He Yuzhu with a determined gaze.

"Go home." He Yuzhu smiled faintly, and that smile contained infinite expectations for the future. "We will use this power to end the darkness and protect our home."

The team turned around in the afterglow of the setting sun and set off on their return journey. The little boy still stood at the entrance of the village, and this time, his eyes were no longer filled with admiration and reluctance, but with the burning flame of becoming a warrior.

"One day, I will find my own light." He whispered, and at that moment, the seeds of hope were planted in his heart.

"Yes, child, you will." The mother responded softly, with a smile in her eyes, full of infinite longing and confidence for the future.

Not long after they set out on their journey home, a piece of unexpected news spread quickly everywhere, causing quite a stir.

"Have you heard? Those brave men not only found the Heart of Time, but also decided to directly challenge the source of the dark forces!" In the tavern, a big man with a beard put down the wine glass in his hand and spoke in a loud voice, causing exclamations from those around him.

"Really? Those guys are really brave! If it were me, I would have stayed away from them long ago." Another thin man shrank his neck, his words full of admiration.

"Yes, He Yuzhu and his gang are really extraordinary. I'm afraid their story will be sung by future generations for a long time." The tavern owner talked while wiping the cup, his eyes flashing with admiration for the heroes.

At the same time, He Yuzhu and his group also heard these discussions on the road, and they all showed a faint smile on their faces.

"It seems that our actions have been known to everyone." The female hunter chuckled, with a hint of pride in her tone.

"In this case, we must not let everyone down." He Yuzhu said firmly, "But before that, we must be fully prepared~."

"The captain is right. We should go back to the academy and discuss countermeasures with the elders." The young wizard suggested, with a calmness beyond his age in his eyes.

When they returned to the academy, they were immediately surrounded by a crowd of people. Students, teachers, and even some town residents who heard the news were all vying to see the heroes, and the scene was very lively.

"Mr. He Yuzhu, can you tell us about your next plans?" A young reporter squeezed to the front and excitedly raised the pen and paper in his hand.

He Yuzhu smiled slightly and looked around. The crowd instantly quieted down, and everyone held their breath waiting for his answer.

"Our plan is simple, to go straight to Huanglong and put an end to it all. But true victory requires everyone's joint efforts. Please believe that light will eventually dispel darkness."

These words were like a warm current, flowing through everyone's heart, arousing everyone's resonance and fighting spirit.

"We will support you!" someone in the crowd shouted, followed by a chorus of approving voices.

Just as they were discussing tactics and preparing supplies, the ragged traveler suddenly grabbed He Yuzhu, with a barely perceptible worry flashing in his eyes.
