Seeing Duan Gujin's resolute attitude and refusal to come up and help, Shang Yumin was furious to the point of eruption.

"Come over and help me quickly!"

She was almost on the verge of tears.

"Miss Shang, I am someone whose loyalty is stronger than gold and unparalleled in righteousness! Please have some self-respect!"

Duan Gujin said indifferently.

"Come here!"

Shang Yumin roared.

"Miss Shang, I won't be fooled! Give it up!"

Duan Gujin firmly stated.

"You!"

Shang Yumin was infuriated, as she never expected to be so misunderstood by Duan Gujin. What is this all about!

Thinking about the snake behind her, Shang Yumin felt goosebumps all over her body.

Her eyes flashed as she recalled intentionally wearing a bra, reasoning that even if she took off her outer garment, not much would be exposed.

Thus, she steeled her heart and took off her outer garment.

Seeing Shang Yumin remove her outer garment, Duan Gujin quickly covered his eyes with his hands.

"Miss Shang, why torment yourself? By doing this, you might have my body but not my heart!"

Shang Yumin was in no mood to listen to Duan Gujin's words, she saw his mouth saying 'no, no', but the hands covering his eyes purposely left a significant gap!

This was something she could not tolerate!

Her body flashed, and she rushed up, then turned her back towards him and shouted, "Duan Gujin, be serious, help me see what's wrong with my back!"

Hearing Shang Yumin's serious tone, Duan Gujin curiously observed her back.

After a moment, he saw a patch of light on her back.

That patch of light was only the size of a thumb but was exceptionally bright and dazzling.

"There's a very strange light patch on your back!"

Duan Gujin hurriedly said.

"A light patch? Not a snake?"

Upon hearing Duan Gujin's words, Shang Yumin shouted in surprise.

"It's not a snake, it's a real light patch, but how come there's a light patch on your back?"

This was the first time Duan Gujin had seen such a mysterious light patch, he was full of confusion.

"Where did this light patch come from?"

He asked curiously.

"You're asking me, but who should I ask?"

Shang Yumin was almost about to cry, she had no idea why a light patch would mysteriously appear on her back.

"Maybe it's not a light patch, help me take it off!"

She shouted.

"Alright, don't move rashly, lest you accuse me of impropriety!"

Duan Gujin said.

"Don't worry, I won't say anything about you!" Shang Yumin responded.

Duan Gujin locked his Divine Sense onto the light patch on her back, intending to inspect it clearly to find out what it really was.

But after a while, he realized his Divine Sense was being blocked.

"It seems I need to use forceful means!"

He simply stretched out his hands to grab the light patch on her back, guessing that the light patch couldn't possibly be a real one.

The next moment, he touched the light patch, and he knew it definitely wasn't a real light patch.

"What is this?"

He was filled with curiosity, initially intending to inspect that speck of light with his Divine Sense.

But to his surprise, the speck of light transformed into a beam and vanished right in front of them.

Seeing that speck of light dash towards the void ahead like lightning, they were stunned for a moment.

"Should we go after it?"

Duan Gujin hastily asked.

"Yes! I want to know what it really is!"

Shang Yumin immediately became interested.

"Put on your clothes first!"

Duan Gujin reminded.

"Okay!"

A slight blush appeared on Shang Yumin's pretty face as she quickly took out a top from her storage ring and hurriedly put it on.

"Let's go!"

Their bodies transformed into a stream of light and they rapidly chased after it.

Moments later, they saw a white light rush into a river ahead.

Seeing this, they immediately gasped in shock.

They knew that their next task was to enter the river and test their Spiritual Power.

However, that mysterious light had burrowed into the river, perplexing them about how to proceed with testing their Spiritual Power.

"What should we do next?"

Duan Gujin looked to Shang Yumin, hoping to learn from her what their next move should be.

"How would I know what we should do next?"

Shang Yumin pondered for a moment, then said to Duan Gujin, "Let's go together, maybe this is a test from the Palace Master!"

"I should have passed the earlier test; I kept my composure and was not swayed by feminine charm, this test should be perfectly cleared by me!"

Duan Gujin said calmly.

"Maybe, let's go!"

A thought crossed Shang Yumin's mind; she felt that it would be impossible for a mysterious light to appear in the pools of Guanghan Heavenly Palace. Well-read in the classics of Guanghan Heavenly Palace, she knew nothing about any mysterious light in the pool.

If there was no mysterious light in the pool, then there was only one possibility; the mysterious light was likely sent by the Palace Master to protect her.

If Duan Gujin did anything untoward there, the light would be able to broadcast everything to ensure the Palace Master was informed.

"The Palace Master is perhaps too cautious, right? I wonder if she might have misunderstood that scene earlier?"

Shang Yumin felt relieved when she thought that the light was probably a trick by the Palace Master.

"It seems that the Palace Master is very caring towards me!"

Without thinking too much, they discussed for a while and decided to move towards the river.

As they jumped into the turbulent water, a powerful force pushed them back several meters.

Although they were prepared, the force still caused their expressions to slightly change.

"Indeed! To move upstream along the river, we must concentrate our Spiritual Power into a shield to protect our whole bodies!"

Duan Gujin and Shang Yumin immediately did as the Palace Master had instructed earlier, generating a halo around them that emitted a pale white light.

They then swiftly progressed through the river.

After a while, they saw a stele on the left side of the river, indicating that they had passed through the first stage of the Spiritual Power test.

The first-stage of Spiritual Power here in the Qiankun Continent is the same as that of a First-level Alchemist; passing the first-stage here means the individual's Spiritual Power has reached the standards of a First-level Alchemist.

This merely implies the standard of Spiritual Power has been met, and not necessarily that one could easily become a First-level Alchemist.

But if a Martial Artist couldn't even meet the basic standard of Spiritual Power, becoming a true First-level Alchemist is almost impossible.

Neither Duan Gujin nor Shang Yumin felt any joy in passing the first stage of the Spiritual Power test here.

They continued onward, both very eager to know to what realm their Spiritual Power could reach.

Duan Gujin knew his Spiritual Power was far stronger than average, but he wanted to know how strong it could become after releasing his Giant Demon Dragon Elephant Martial Soul.
