Chapter 490: The Gem's "Soul Test" and the "Absurd Plan" to Save Chu Tian

In the previous chapter, Qin Feng and his companions found a blue gem with powerful power in a mysterious cave, and realized that there was some mysterious connection between it and the amulet. After returning to the academy with the gem, everyone was looking forward to unlocking the mystery of the gem's power. However, the real challenge has just begun - and it is accompanied by many ridiculous "accidents".

After Qin Feng and his party returned to the academy, they immediately went to the library to look up ancient books, hoping to find clues related to gems. Everyone gathered around the table, with several ancient books spread out. Chu Tian yawned as he flipped through the books.

"There are so many books. Do we really have to read them all from beginning to end?" Chu Tian complained. "This is even more tiring than fighting."

Ye Li flipped through the book calmly: "Only by finding clues can we unlock the secret of the gem. Otherwise, its power may never be used by us."

Zhang Meng was also a little impatient: "Isn't there a simpler way? Like knocking it, or just using force to activate it?"

Qin Feng was about to respond when suddenly the amulet emitted a faint blue light, and the gem responded by flashing. Everyone was startled and realized that the resonance between the amulet and the gem had begun again.

"It seems that the amulet is trying to tell us something." Qin Feng stood up and put the amulet and the gem together. "Perhaps we don't need such a complicated puzzle, just follow their guidance."

Chu Tian immediately responded: "Then follow your feelings! I told you, it's always right to rely on intuition!"

Ye Li shook her head at Chu Tian's "lazy logic", but still cooperated to let the amulet and gem release their power. Sure enough, when the gem and the amulet came into contact, a line of ancient text appeared on the surface of the gem, and Qin Feng whispered this sentence: "The soul and the gem are integrated, and only those who pass the trial can unlock the true power."

Chu Tian was stunned for a moment: "Trial? It sounds like a competition. I like it!"

Zhang Meng smiled and said, "That definitely depends on your strength. I've been waiting for a challenge like this!"

Ye Li chuckled and said, "You two, why don't you first understand the content of the trial before you are confident."

Just when everyone was discussing how to pass this unknown trial, Chu Tian suddenly reached out and touched the gem out of curiosity - as a result, a blue light flashed instantly, and the gem directly sucked Chu Tian in!

"Chu Tian?!" Qin Feng was startled and reached out to grab Chu Tian, but he only caught a blue afterimage.

Zhang Meng was stunned: "This gem can actually eat people?!"

"This is not eating, this is teleporting." Ye Li frowned and said, "It seems that Chu Tian has been brought into the trial space."

Qin Feng sighed helplessly: "He is always so impatient and wants to be the first to do everything."

"Then what should we do?" Zhang Meng asked worriedly.

"We can only find a way to rescue him first." Qin Feng clenched the Dragon Shadow Sword, "I think we need to enter that space, but we have to be cautious."

Ye Li nodded, and the amulet seemed to be guiding them into the trial space.

When Qin Feng, Ye Li and Zhang Meng followed the guidance of the amulet and entered the trial space, they were immediately shocked by the scene before them. The entire space was surrounded by blue light, surrounded by strange rocks floating around, and multiple sparkling gems hanging in the sky.

But the most eye-catching thing was Chu Tian who was suspended in the air - he was trapped in a huge transparent bubble, flapping around, looking both embarrassed and funny.

"This guy is really..." Qin Feng shook his head helplessly.

"Help me!" Chu Tian shouted in the bubble, "This broken bubble is not only sticky, but also very slippery. I can't get out at all!"

Ye Li frowned slightly: "It seems that this is part of the trial."

Zhang Meng raised the giant rock bear, his face full of excitement: "Then I will just burst this bubble and rescue Chu Tian!"

"Wait!" Qin Feng stopped him immediately, "This bubble may have a special defense mechanism, we can't act rashly. We have to find a way to crack it."

Ye Li nodded: "Everything in this space is related to gems. We need to look for clues. Maybe those suspended gems can tell us the answer."

After some observation, everyone found that each floating gem in the trial space corresponded to a different power - some gems flickered with flames, some emitted icy cold air, and others were filled with strange light.

"It seems that these gems are the key to the next step." Qin Feng said, "We must make the right choice to solve Chu Tian's dilemma."

"Then let's go straight at it!" Zhang Meng rushed towards a flaming gem without hesitation, ready to break it in one fell swoop with the power of the giant rock bear.

However, as soon as Zhang Meng approached, the gem suddenly burst out with a strong heat wave, almost roasting him into a "human kebab".

"Ouch! This thing is too hot!" Zhang Meng hurriedly stepped back and patted his clothes that were almost burnt.

"You can't force it." Qin Feng reminded, "These gems obviously can't be cracked by brute force."

At this moment, Ye Li suddenly discovered that every time the gem flashed, Chu Tian's bubble would undergo some subtle changes. She guessed: "Maybe we need to find the gem that corresponds to the bubble in order to free it."

Chu Tian looked miserable in the bubble: "Hurry up, I'm about to be trapped and turned into a specimen!"

Qin Feng observed carefully and finally found a gem that was most similar to the light of the bubble. He walked forward carefully and gently touched the gem with the amulet. The gem emitted a soft blue light, and the whole space vibrated. Chu Tian's bubble suddenly loosened a little.

"It's working!" Ye Li's eyes lit up.

"Hurry up and find a few more!" Zhang Meng said excitedly, "Let's work together to get these gems!"

Next, everyone began to methodically search for gems that corresponded to the bubbles. Although the process was somewhat funny—for example, Zhang Meng accidentally touched a gem that emitted cold air and shivered from the cold; Chu Tian kept making various complaints in the bubble—in the end, they still successfully cracked the seal of the bubble.

With a "bang", the bubble burst and Chu Tian fell hard from mid-air.

"Ah! I'm finally out!" Chu Tian shouted excitedly while rubbing his butt, "I thought I would have to live in there forever!"

Zhang Meng laughed so hard that he fell backwards. “You are really the first person trapped in a bubble. You really deserve a prize.”

Ye Li couldn't help but sigh: "Can you be a little calmer next time and not always be the first to touch those unknown things?"

"This is an accident! An absolute accident!" Chu Tian explained seriously, but everyone obviously didn't buy it.

Although Chu Tian was successfully rescued, the trial was not over. The blue light in the space gradually became stronger, as if brewing a greater test. The blue light of the amulet also became brighter and brighter, as if conveying an important message.

"This is not over yet." Qin Feng said in a low voice, "This trial has just begun."

Suddenly, a huge crack appeared in the center of the space, and a powerful soul power wave gushed out from the crack. At the same time, a huge soul beast gradually appeared, its whole body shrouded in blue flames, emitting a suffocating pressure.

"What kind of monster is this?" Zhang Meng widened his eyes in surprise.

"It seems that we have to pass its test before we can truly master the power of the gem." Qin Feng gripped the Dragon Shadow Sword tightly, with a fighting look in his eyes.

"We're going to fight again? I haven't recovered yet!" Chu Tian stood up with a wry smile, shook off the dust on his body, and prepared to face new challenges.

"Stop talking nonsense and get ready for battle!" Qin Feng shouted, leading everyone to rush towards the soul beast.

The battle is about to begin, and the true power of the blue gem will be revealed in this trial.
