Ning Rongrong probably never imagined that so many people would be curious about her first time, but at this moment, she only felt that her long-cherished wish had finally come true, and she felt extremely happy.
So that night, Ning Rongrong and the others got what they wanted, and everyone finally realized what kind of situation they were about to face.
The next day, Ning Rongrong indeed needed to rest for a day, and everyone understood this perfectly. After all, it would be strange if Ning Rongrong could still move around normally.
" Rongrong, are you sure you don't need me to stay with you?" Qi Ling gently stroked Ning Rongrong's hair, asking with concern, "Let me stay with you."
"Oh, no need, Qi Ling, if you don't show up for a day, I'll be so embarrassed I'll die!" Ning Rongrong said. "They'll all think, think I... I'm not going to cling to you all day!"
Left with no other choice, Qi Ling had to continue her cultivation and go to the Dragon Maiden to receive the Second Trial from the Dragon God.
"What you need to do on this island is quite simple, Master," the Dragon Maiden laughed, "It's Hide-and-Seek!"
" Hide-and-Seek?" Qi Ling asked doubtfully, "Who are we playing hide and seek with? You?"
"No, don't try to catch these things!" the Dragon Maiden said, reaching out her hand and a ball of blue light immediately appeared in her palm.
Qi Ling could sense a very faint aura emanating from the orbs of light. It seemed that the challenge of this level involved using this faint aura to locate these orbs.
"Are you ready, Master? If you are, I'm about to begin your test."
The Dragon Maiden laughed.
"Oh, no problem, come on over," Qi Ling said with a smile. "It's just finding such a small ball of light, what trouble could it possibly take..."
Before Qi Ling could finish speaking, the ball of light in the Dragon Maiden's hand suddenly burst into countless tiny points of light, densely covering the entire sky, making it impossible for anyone to count them.
What's even more disheartening is that not only are there a large number of these orbs of light, but their already faint presence is also divided into countless parts as they split apart!
"Here are ten thousand points of light, which will later be dispersed throughout the island," the Dragon Maiden chuckled. "Master, you might think that since this island is so small, you can find them by searching everywhere, right?"
"But no, if you can't rely on your intuition to accurately determine their location, then even if you're standing right in front of them, you simply won't be able to find them!"
"I see. So how much time do I have to search for them?" Qi Ling asked.
"From eight in the morning to eight at night, a total of twelve hours," the Dragon Maiden laughed. "Of course, if you haven't succeeded by the time the time is up, all the light spots will disappear, and you'll have to try again tomorrow."
"Just saying it like that won't give you an idea of how difficult this level really is. Come on, Master, let's put it into practice."
As the Dragon Maiden spoke, she tossed the orbs of light in her hand into the air. After flying into the sky, all the orbs of light shot out in all directions around the island and then disappeared.
Qi Ling instantly understood just how difficult this challenge was, because he watched as a point of light landed at his feet and disappeared into the grass. No matter how hard he looked, he couldn't find any trace of it.
"You cannot see it with your eyes, Master," the Dragon Maiden said. "Only by relying on your own senses and definitively determining its location will it reveal itself."
So Qi Ling followed the Dragon Maiden's instructions and used her Spiritual Power and Soul Power to explore the existence of the light spot. After concentrating her attention to the maximum, she finally sensed that faint presence.
And it was right after Qi Ling that a blue light suddenly appeared in the previously empty space, floated up from the ground, and flew into the air.
"Well done, Master," the Dragon Maiden laughed. "You just need to find all ten thousand points of light like this, and you'll pass the level."
"Ten thousand? That's going to kill me!" Qi Ling rubbed her head and said, "Finding just one took so much effort, this is just too much!"
"Keep it up, Master!" the Dragon Maiden laughed. "Oh, by the way, Master, the light spot you found earlier was the one with the strongest presence. The others weren't so easy to find!"
As it turned out, the Dragon Maiden was right. It took Qi Ling about ten minutes to find the second spot of light, which shows how difficult it was.
However, after becoming familiar with the characteristics of these light spots, Qi Ling was able to find them much faster. Whenever he confirmed the existence of a light spot, he could activate it immediately, and sometimes he could even activate two or three at a time.
At this rate, by the end of the first day, Qi Ling had already found five thousand points of light! Compared to the First Trial, the progress was worlds apart.
"Wow, congratulations, Master! I didn't expect you to find five thousand points of light on your very first try. That's truly amazing!" the Dragon Maiden exclaimed with a smile.
But to everyone's surprise, Qi Ling gave a wry smile and said, "Stop flattering me, Dragon Maiden. It's impossible for my Spiritual Power and Soul Power to increase so rapidly anymore, so breaking through won't be so easy."
"Although I can find five thousand points of light now, I'm afraid I'll have enough left to search for."
"Yes, that's true. But Master, you must believe that these processes will be of great benefit to you," the Dragon Maiden said.
Just like the First Trial, this Second Trial will also train Qi Ling's abilities. When he finds all the light orbs, his sensitivity to aura will rise to an extremely terrifying level.
Just three months later, Qi Ling Qi Ling was able to find almost all the points of light, no matter how faint their presence or how hidden their location.
But to his dismay, he couldn't find the last point of light no matter what he tried, which left him puzzled.
That very night, after teasing Ning Rongrong, Qi Ling held her close, still pondering the matter: why couldn't she find that last glimmer of light?
"What are you thinking about, Qi Ling? Why are you so lost in thought?" Ning Rongrong leaned closer to Qi Ling, resting her head against Qi Ling's chest, and asked, "You're not thinking about other women, are you? Let me tell you, when you're teasing me, you're not allowed to think about other women!"
