Chapter 697 "The Peak Showdown in the Fantasy World: Lin Xiao's Passionate Journey on the

The joy of victory was still boiling in their blood. Lin Xiao and her friends smiled at each other in the ruins, but their eyes were full of fatigue. Although they had just finished the battle, they had won, but it also exposed their shortcomings. The enemy was stronger than expected, which made everyone feel deeply stressed.

"Sister Xiao, our victory this time was really close!" said a little friend, wiping the sweat from his forehead, with lingering fear.

Lin Xiao nodded and took a deep breath. She knew that this was just the beginning and the real challenge was still to come. She said with a firm look in her eyes: "We must become stronger to face the next challenge."

Just as everyone was discussing the next plan, a mysterious old man slowly walked over. His appearance was as silent as a ghost, which made people feel awe.

The old man looked at Lin Xiao, with a hint of approval in his eyes: "Little girl, you have great potential, but you need more systematic training and guidance."

Lin Xiao looked at the old man who suddenly appeared with caution, but her heart was in turmoil. She instinctively felt that this old man was not an ordinary person, and his identity and purpose were worth exploring.

The old man seemed to see through Lin Xiao's doubts and explained with a smile: "I am a hermit in this continent and I know a thing or two about the secrets of the fantasy world. In view of your bravery and fearlessness, I am willing to teach you some necessary knowledge and skills."

Lin Xiao and his friends exchanged glances. They all realized that this was a rare opportunity, but they also knew that accepting the help of this mysterious old man might mean that they would be involved in a more complicated and dangerous situation.

After careful consideration, Lin Xiao finally decided to accept the old man's help. She knew that only by becoming stronger could she better protect the people around her and uncover more secrets of the Fantasy World Continent.

The old man nodded with satisfaction, and then motioned Lin Xiao to follow him. They came to a hidden valley, which was protected by an ancient formation and isolated from the world.

The old man began to train Lin Xiao, from basic physical training to advanced spell training, each of which was extremely strict. Lin Xiao and his friends were pushed to their limits, but none of them complained, and they all gritted their teeth and persevered.

As time went by, Lin Xiao felt that her strength was growing rapidly. She began to be able to sense the subtle changes in the natural world around her and even had preliminary communication with the elements.

However, just when Lin Xiao felt that he was about to have a breakthrough, the old man brought a shocking news - behind the defeated enemy, there was an even more powerful existence, a dark hand hidden in the shadow of the Fantasy World Continent, which had been controlling all kinds of disputes and disasters on the continent.

Lin Xiao's heart tightened after hearing this. She knew that this struggle was far more complicated than she had imagined. What she would face might not only be powerful enemies, but also more intricate conspiracies and schemes.

The old man said earnestly: "Lin Xiao, your fate is closely linked to the Fantasy World Continent. Your choice will affect the future of every living being here."

Lin Xiao took a deep look at her friends around her. She knew that she had a heavy responsibility on her shoulders and she could not and would not back down. She nodded firmly, indicating that she was ready.

The old man smiled with satisfaction. He knew that Lin Xiao, this brave girl, would be the light of hope for the Fantasy World Continent. In the days to come, Lin Xiao and her friends will continue their hard training and prepare for the upcoming greater challenges. And the mystery of Lin Xiao's special identity and power will gradually be revealed.

On this magical continent, a battle of fate is quietly brewing, and Lin Xiao is standing at the center of the storm.
