Divine Trial Perfected, Divine Gift Received; Spirit Bone Advancement, Tears in Mother's Embrace

The candlelight flickered inside the tent, casting a soft glow over the silver threads on the bedding. Lin Zhixia's lashes trembled as she slowly opened her eyes, only to see Zhu Zhuqing's concerned face and Ning Rongrong's reddened eyes.

"Sister Zhixia is awake!" Zhu Zhuqing spoke first, unable to hide her delight. She reached out to feel Lin Zhixia's forehead. "Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere else? Is your head dizzy?"

Lin Zhixia gently shook her head, her throat slightly dry. "No, I just feel a little weak." Her gaze fell on Ning Rongrong's swollen eyelids, and a faint, weak smile tugged at her lips. She teased, "Rongrong, why are your eyes so swollen? Did Oscar bully you?"

"Who said he bullied me?!" Ning Rongrong's eyes reddened, and her voice held a hint of aggrieved reproach. "It's because of you! You knew your Soul Power was nearly exhausted, yet you still insisted on Exploding your rings to expand the formation. You don't care about your own body at all!" Afraid that she would start crying, she turned and hurried to the tent entrance, secretly wiping the corner of her eye.

Just as Lin Zhixia was about to comfort her, a dazzling golden light suddenly flashed around her body. The radiance was so brilliant that it pierced through the tent, instantly alerting Tang San, Tang Hao, and the others waiting outside. They all pushed open the door and rushed in.

"What's going on?" Before Tang Hao had even finished speaking, the golden light gathered into a divine curtain of light that floated before Lin Zhixia. Lines of golden text slowly emerged—
