Qing Lian nodded, her eyes shining with determination. "Senior, you're right. We have to persevere until we can leave this Sun Palace Treasure Tower and regain our freedom."
They held each other in a tight embrace.
Xu Lei gently stroked Qing Lian's shaved head. A glint appeared in his eyes as he asked, "Qing Lian, what's the trial for the Second Heaven? How difficult is it compared to the First Heaven?"
Qing Lian smiled faintly, a nostalgic light in her eyes. "The trial for the Second Heaven is different from the first. It's not about fighting Puppets anymore. Instead, you enter a special Secret Realm with an extremely harsh environment. We have to survive there for a certain amount of time to pass. But I haven't managed to pass it yet."
Xu Lei was stunned. He had a general idea of Qing Lian's strength, so if even she couldn't pass, he could only imagine how difficult the trial must be.
