Outside the gate of Purification Point 13.

  A faint light screen stood in front of Li Luo, Jiang Qing'e and others. Inside the light screen, it was peaceful, but outside the light screen, there was a surging black fog, with extremely poor visibility.

  A thick and heavy black fog surged, as if hiding something terrifying, making people's hearts inexplicably filled with a chill.

  The unknown is what's terrifying.

  Jiang Qing'e and the other two were quite calm, after all, they had been through so many purification tasks, and they were also quite familiar with the dark cave.

  But Li Luo, Bai Mengmeng and Xin Fu's faces were solemn.

  Once they step out of this light curtain, they will lose all their shelter and start facing the dark cave directly.

  There were also other teams rushing over, but Li Luo felt that their gazes seemed to be filled with some playful intentions.

  "Jiang Qing'e, it's been a while since we've had a team from the Star Academy come to this place. I wonder how many times they'll need to attempt the 'Heart Confusion Barrier'?" Just then, laughter came from behind, and Li Luo turned to see Du Ze Honglian and Ye Qiu Ding's teams arriving as well.

  "What's wrong?" Li Luo looked at Jiang Qing'e.

  "I was just about to tell you guys."

  Jiang Qing'e still didn't respond to Du Ze Honglian, but instead said to Li Luo: "When people enter the dark cave and step out of the purification point, walking into the black fog, they will be invaded by the power of evil thoughts. These evil thought powers are scattered throughout the black fog. Generally speaking, this kind of power is not too strong, and its influence won't be too great."

  "But there's a special point, that is, for those who enter the dark cave for the first time, the evil thoughts they encounter will be more severe. This should be because their body has not been in contact with this kind of power before, so the power of evil thoughts takes advantage of the emptiness to invade."

  "The power of evil thoughts invades the body, affecting your mind and producing many negative emotions, this is what is called "Newbie Heart Confusion"."

  "When you three leave the base later, you will also encounter."

  But don't worry too much, even if you fail the "Heart Puzzle" for the first time, there won't be any loss, it will just delay some time. After failing a few more times and gaining resistance, you can pass it naturally.

  Although Jiang Qing'e spoke casually, Li Luo understood that if the three of them were stopped by this Heart Confusion Formation, it would undoubtedly hinder their efficiency in completing the purification task. After all, they wouldn't be able to leave the stronghold at that time, and Jiang Qing'e's group could only wait here.

  And then people like Ze Honglian and others came running over, obviously just wanting to see a show.

  "This hidden cave is indeed fraught with danger at every step." Li Luo sighed, and they had just left the base, yet there were already so many troubles.

  No wonder the school didn't open the Dark Caverns to first-year students before. They were indeed too immature.

  "Let's try it out."

  Li Luo turned his head to look at Bai Mengmeng who was a bit tense, and encouraged: "Come on, strive to pass directly."

  The two took a deep breath and nodded seriously.

  The three of them didn't say anything more and directly stepped out of the purification light circle under the gaze of many eyes.

  The moment he stepped out of the purification light shield's range, Li Luo suddenly felt the temperature around him drop sharply, becoming extremely cold and gloomy.

  The black fog in front of me seemed to surge violently, with an inexplicable low whispering sound, like a devilish voice pouring into my ears, coming from all directions and piercing deep into my soul.

  In the dark fog, there seemed to be a strange and eerie gaze watching me approach.

  A thick, icy black fog flowed over the surface of his body, as if the devil's palm had stroked him, with a deep killing intent hidden within.

  A sense of fear arose spontaneously.

  Li Luo's face turned pale at this moment, and his breathing became slightly heavier.

  In the back position, Jiang Qing'e's eyes were tightly fixed on Li Luo and the others. Once the emotions of the three people began to change drastically, she would take action and pull them directly in. However, that also meant that the three people had failed in their first attempt to touch "Huan Xin Guan".

  It's actually a relatively normal result, after all Li Luo and the three others are still students of Yi Xing Yuan, and it's their first time entering the Dark Abyss, so the evil energy in the Dark Abyss will be even stronger for them.

  In Jiang Qingwa's estimation, Li Luo and the three others might need to experience two or three failures before they can gradually adapt.

  It's just that if they come, their purification efficiency will have to slow down a bit. After a few days, it's likely that more than half of the first-level purification towers in the inner circle will be swept away by other teams.

  While Jiang Qing'e was thinking in her heart, Dang Ze Honglian also saw the change in Li Luoshen's expression and a smile appeared on the corner of his lips.

  Jiang Qing'e, Jiang Qing'e, this is the price you pay for insisting on finding a burden.

  Yè Qiūdǐng, who was standing beside him, had a calm expression, but his eyes flashed with a hint of subtle pleasure.

  Under the gaze of numerous onlookers, Li Luo stood still, the whispering voice that had entered his heart growing louder and more intense, filling him with an increasingly dense sense of fear.

  However, Li Luo, although a newborn, his heart was not as fragile as others had thought.

  Fear surged up, but did not submerge his rationality.

  Before his eyes, it was as if he was shrouded in darkness, and everyone's figure had disappeared. In the darkness, there were rustling sounds coming over, as if some strange thing was approaching.

  Ke Li Luo's expression gradually became calm and tranquil.

  These freaks are indeed terrifying and eerie, but what is he doing in this dark cave?

  He came for the million points.

  What if you can't earn it?

  If he can't make it, there won't be enough imperial qi, without enough imperial qi, he will stop at the stage of worshiping generals, stopping here means that he only has more than four years of life to live.

  Wishing for a marquis title in five years, it directly became a joke.

  So, if he can't get enough points to exchange for Emperor's Elixir, he will be a short-lived ghost.

  What's more terrifying than me being about to die in this world?

  Am I going to lose my life? Do I still have to be afraid of you and your canine ilk?!

  A surge of indignation burst forth from Li Luo's heart, instantly dispersing the fearful thoughts and the darkness before his eyes suddenly dissipated.

  Everything has returned to normal.

  There were whispers around, but when these voices saw Li Luo with clear eyes and a calm face, they all quieted down.

  Dou Ze's eyebrows also furrowed slightly.

  Under their astonished gaze, Li Luo opened his hands with a puzzled expression and said: "Does this count as passing?"

  Seeing the astonished glances around him, Li Luo secretly smiled, this round of pretending was quite successful.

  "It seems very simple."

  But just then, a surprised voice came from beside him. He turned his head and saw that Bai Mengmeng was looking around, her bright eyes full of clarity.

  "You, you weren't affected?" Li Luo was also a bit shocked, as Bai Mengmeng seemed to have passed through the Heart-Confusing Gate even faster than him.

  Bai Mengmeng blinked her big eyes and said, "At first, I felt some effects, then I directly entered a hypnotic state, and those negative emotions disappeared."

  Li Luo was in a trance, a state of deep sleep, was she referring to the state when she studied the strange light of the spiritual water?

  At that time, Bai Mengmeng seemed to be a kind of absolute rationality, calmness, and was not disturbed by any negative emotions. But can this still be used to resist the erosion of evil thoughts?

  This is cheating!

  Li Luo gazed at Bai Mengmeng, who seemed as if nothing had happened earlier. For a moment, he could only let out a sigh of regret, realizing that this was the true master of pretence.

  Just as Li Luo was lamenting that Bai Mengmeng's move was too abnormal, he suddenly felt a cold and piercing killing intent emanating from him.

  As his gaze swept across, he saw the eyes under Xīn Fú's hood suddenly turn a deep crimson, as if filled with an extremely cold and pure murderous intent.

  That murderous intent was icy cold, even Jiang Qingyue couldn't help but glance over with some apprehension.

  However, this killing intent appeared extremely briefly, and the crimson in Xīn Fú's eyes dispersed. He raised his head, meeting Lǐ Luò's astonished gaze, and said: "Is it over?"

  Li Luo fell silent for a few seconds before nodding solemnly with a serious expression.

  It's clear that these two teammates are both masters with exceptional skills.

  It doesn't matter anyway.
