The contestant is too old, sister Zhou is crazy

Chapter 819

"I have an idea." At this time, a young man who looked a little shy squeezed into the middle of the crowd, holding a seemingly ordinary stone sculpture in his hand. "I found it in the cave. Every night, it emits a faint light. Although it is weak, it never goes out. Perhaps this can be the starting point of our new power."

Lin Hao took the big stone and looked at it carefully, with a hint of surprise in his eyes: "Yes, every ray of light is worth cherishing. Young man, what is your name?"

"My name is Xiaojie," the boy answered, his eyes sparkling with pride.

"Xiao Jie, you found a valuable clue for us, thank you." Su Mei'er touched his head gently and gave him encouragement.

The crowd was boiling again, and everyone was full of passion to participate. They began to share their knowledge and resources, preparing for the upcoming struggle.

As the night deepened, the bonfire gradually died down, but the fire in the hearts of the people in the town became more and more intense. In this sleepless night, plans quietly took shape, and a new force was gathering to prepare for the coming storm.

Just as everyone was preparing to disperse and go about their own business, Lin Hao suddenly stopped and looked toward the distant sky, where a meteor streaked across the night sky, leaving behind a dazzling trail.

"Look, that's our sign." Lin Hao said softly, turning to look at Su Mei'er and Xu Mo, "No matter what the future holds, we will be like that shooting star, even if it's short-lived, we will illuminate the darkness and leave the brightest light."

Su Mei'er and Xu Mo smiled at each other, their eyes full of tacit understanding and faith.

"Then let us join hands and move forward towards the light without fear." Su Mei'er's words, like a vow, echoed in the hearts of everyone who was ready to face the challenge.

"Yes," Xu Mo nodded, his eyes flashing with determination for the future, "The fall of every star is for the birth of a new world."

Their conversation was heard by the people around them, and it resonated even more strongly. An old man, leaning on a cane, trembled and walked forward, with wisdom in his eyes: "Children, your will is sharper than any weapon. In our eyes, you are not only the inheritors of hope, but also the pioneers of the future."

"Old man, your encouragement is our greatest motivation." Lin Hao answered respectfully. His voice was warm and firm, making the people around him feel an indescribable sense of peace of mind.

"Speaking of development," Su Mei'er smiled and looked around at the crowd gathered around her, "Why don't we pass on this power and knowledge to everyone who is willing to learn? Let everyone become the light of their own life and illuminate the world around them."

As soon as these words came out, the crowd burst into whispers of approval, their eyes flashing with ignited fighting spirit and desire. A woman patted the head of the child beside her, her eyes full of tenderness and expectation: "Look at these brave brothers and sisters, they tell us with their actions that no matter how dark the world is, as long as we have a heart, there is light."

"So, what should we do now?" Xiao Jie raised the stone sculpture in his hand, his eyes flashing with eagerness.

Lin Hao smiled and patted Xiaojie on the shoulder, then looked at everyone: "First, we need to have a deeper understanding of the power of this light. The stone sculpture Xiaojie found may be a key. At the same time, we must strengthen our training, not only to improve our physical fitness, but also to learn how to use the power of the mind and turn it into real power."

"Moreover," Xu Mo added, "we must expand our influence, unite more allies, and spread the seeds of light to further places. Although the shadows are strong, they will eventually be exposed in front of the light."

"That's right," Lin Hao nodded, his eyes flashing with determination, "From today on, we are no longer just watchers, but disseminators of light. We must let every piece of land shrouded in darkness usher in the dawn again."

At this time, the sky was already turning pale, and the first ray of sunlight penetrated the night, shining on the faces of Lin Hao and the other two, and also on the hearts of everyone who was looking forward to the light. A new day, with new hopes and challenges, was slowly opening.

"Then, let's start from here," Su Mei'er raised her arm and pointed to the rising sun, "Let's take our first step towards the light."

"Towards the light," everyone responded in unison. The voice was not loud, but firm and powerful, like the rising sun, warm and full of hope.

In an atmosphere full of determination and expectation, Lin Hao, Su Mei'er, Xu Mo and the residents of the town embarked on a new journey. Behind them was the gradually dispersing night, and in front of them was an unknown but hopeful bright road.

"We don't know how long the road is, nor how many difficulties and obstacles there will be," Lin Hao whispered to Su Mei'er and Xu Mo with a firm look, "but as long as we are united in heart, nothing is impossible."

"Yes," Su Mei'er smiled, that smile showed both her expectations for the future and her trust in her partners, "No matter what the road ahead holds, as long as we are together, nothing can stop us."

"Yes," Xu Mo agreed, his tone full of thirst for knowledge and vision for the future, "We still have too many unsolved mysteries, ancient secrets, unknown powers, all of which will be catalysts for our growth."

Just as the three were immersed in the conversation, a figure suddenly squeezed out from the edge of the crowd and stumbled in front of them. It was the young man who was shocked by the actions of the shadow forces. There was a strange light flashing in his eyes, and it was obvious that he had just experienced a leap in thought.

“Master Lin Hao, I… I’ve figured it out.” The young man panted, clenched his hands, and looked extremely excited. “Even if the road ahead is full of thorns, I will become the sword that cuts through them. I want to join you, and together with everyone, fight against darkness and protect light!”

Lin Hao patted the young man on the shoulder and nodded approvingly: "Very good, everyone who is willing to stand up deserves respect. Welcome, comrade. Remember, each of us is an indispensable part of this battle."

When passers-by saw this, they looked at him with admiration and shock, and talked about him in a low voice.

"Look, some new people have joined. They are really an amazing group of people."

"Yes, I always felt that light was far away from us before, but now, I feel that I can also become that light."

When Su Mei'er heard these words, she turned around and smiled gently at everyone: "Everyone has a light in their heart. When we gather it together, we can illuminate the whole world. Let us work together to make this light even brighter."

Lin Hao pulled out the stone sculpture that was emitting a faint glow from his arms and held it high so that everyone present could see it. "This stone sculpture that Xiaojie found is our starting point. From today on, we will conduct in-depth research to discover the secrets behind it and make the power of light stronger."

Xu Mo took over the topic from the side: "At the same time, I will start designing a new set of rune formations, combined with the power of stone carvings, to enhance our combat effectiveness. Knowledge is power. We must not only cultivate the power of the mind, but also use this power scientifically."

The crowd was once again aroused with enthusiasm, and their discussions were mixed with expectation and confidence. An old woman took her grandson's hand and said softly: "Child, see, there are always people in this world who fight for light. You must remember that you must become such a person in the future."

Just as the atmosphere was getting heated, Lin Hao suddenly raised his hand to signal for silence. His eyes penetrated the crowd, as if he saw something. "Friends, it's getting late. Today's gathering is for a better start tomorrow. Now, let's go back and rest, and prepare ourselves. Tomorrow, we will embark on a brand new journey."

The crowd gradually dispersed, but everyone's heart was ignited by an inextinguishable flame. In the night, Lin Hao, Su Mei'er, Xu Mo and the newly joined young people stood side by side, looking at the starry sky, their eyes full of endless imagination for the future.

"Shadow forces, no matter how powerful you are, what awaits you will be the light of the entire world." Lin Hao's words were firm and powerful, echoing in the night sky.

"Moreover," Su Mei'er continued softly, "we are not alone on this road. Everyone who believes in light is our companion."

Xu Mo smiled slightly and looked at the mountains looming in the distance: "Yes, we are not only fighting, but also creating. In the near future, people will remember this light because of our efforts."

"Yes," Lin Hao nodded, his eyes far-reaching, "Our story will be a legend passed down by future generations. But now, the most important thing is action. Tomorrow, starting from the first ray of sunshine, we will bring this light to every corner."

"So, regarding the study of this stone sculpture," Xiaojie interrupted excitedly, the stone sculpture in his hand seemed to glow slightly with his excitement, "how should we start?"

Lin Hao smiled and patted Xiao Jie on the shoulder: "Xiao Jie, your discovery is a big step for us. Tomorrow, we will form a team, including you, to find more clues about this stone sculpture. At the same time, Su Mei'er and I will try to guide its light to see if we can get more inspiration from it."

"It sounds like an adventure!" Xiaojie's eyes sparkled with longing.

"That's true. Every exploration is an adventure into the unknown." Su Mei'er echoed softly, her voice gentle but full of power. "But remember, no matter what we encounter, we must remain calm and wise. This is the key to fighting the shadow."

At this time, a young woman walked out of the crowd with a firm look in her eyes: "Can I help? Although I don't know how to fight, I am quite knowledgeable about ancient documents. Maybe I can find some clues from historical records."

"You are very welcome!" Lin Hao responded enthusiastically. His tolerance makes everyone who wants to contribute feel valued. "Everyone's unique ability is part of our common strength."

The crowd gradually dispersed, but the excited conversations still echoed in the night sky. On the streets of the town, several children imitated the adults, holding wooden sticks and playing to simulate the heroic scenes of fighting against the shadows.

"When I grow up, I want to be a hero who protects everyone like Brother Lin Hao!" a child announced loudly, his eyes full of admiration.

The little girl next to him was not to be outdone: "I will be even more powerful than him and defeat all the darkness with my wisdom!"

Although their conversation was immature, it was full of purity and determination, which made people smile. All of this was silently watched by Lin Hao and the other two, and their hearts were filled with emotion and expectation.

"Look, this is our future." Xu Mo sighed softly.

"Yes, with them, the light will never disappear." Su Mei'er was filled with emotion, her eyes gently sweeping over the children playing.

Lin Hao stared into the distance, at the dark area that had not yet been illuminated by the light: "Everything we do is to allow them to run freely in the sunshine. Tomorrow, we will take the first step towards change."

The night grew deeper and the starry sky was bright. Lin Hao, Su Mei'er, Xu Mo and the new young man stood on the edge of the town, with their backs to the rising dawn and facing an unknown but hopeful journey.

"Then," Lin Hao turned his head and looked at his companions, his voice full of determination, "After we rest, let's start a new chapter. No matter how many unknowns lie ahead, as long as we unite as one, light will surely dispel all shadows."

"Towards the light," Su Mei'er said, her smile as warm as the rising sun, "We are ready."

"With light in my heart, I have nothing to fear." Xu Mo added, his eyes flashing with an infinite desire for knowledge and a firm belief in victory.

"Yes," Xiaojie also joined the conversation, the stone sculpture in his hand looked even more mysterious under the moonlight, "This stone sculpture is not only a symbol of light, but also our compass, guiding us to victory."

As they were talking, a figure slowly walked out from the shadows nearby. It was an elderly man with wrinkles on his face but sharp eyes, holding a seemingly ancient book in his hand. "Young man, I have heard your determination and dreams. This book may be helpful to you." The old man's voice was vicissitudes and gentle.

Lin Hao and others hurried forward and respectfully took the book. "What is this?" Su Mei'er asked curiously.

“This is the Chronicle of Light that has been passed down from generation to generation in our family. It records a lot of knowledge about the power of light and the history of ancient heroes fighting against darkness. Perhaps it can provide you with clues to unlock the secret of the stone carving.” The old man said earnestly.

"Thank you so much, old man!" Lin Hao was extremely grateful. He knew very well how valuable such knowledge was.

"You're welcome, kids. It's you who should be thanked for taking on this important mission." The old man's eyes moved from one to another, full of expectation and trust.

At this moment, the sky in the distance began to turn a barely perceptible blue, heralding the arrival of a new day. Lin Hao looked up, his heart surging with unprecedented determination: "Friends, the dawn of a new day is coming, and it is also the beginning of our action. Let us use our actions to prove that light will never be swallowed by darkness." (End of this chapter)
