The night was quiet, but Ye Tian couldn't sleep.
Inside the private training hall, he sat cross-legged, the Dragon Seal Fragment floating in front of him. It pulsed with faint red and gold light, whispering to his blood.
System:Dragon Seal Reaction Detected.Location: Sect's Ancient Records Hall – Lower Chamber (Restricted).Risk Level: Moderate.Opportunity Rating: High.
Ye Tian opened his eyes.
"Looks like it's time to dig deeper."
A Forbidden Visit
Sneaking into the Ancient Records Hall wasn't easy. Guards stood at every corner, and the inner sect had its own patrols.
But Ye Tian had learned from the system's stealth trials.
Wearing a dark robe and covering his aura, he moved like a shadow through the courtyard, slipping past guards with calm ease.
Inside, rows of old scrolls and broken statues filled the dusty shelves.
But the system pulsed again.
Ding!Seal Fragment reacting… 20 meters below ground.Secret Door Detected – Releasing spirit pulse to unlock.
A section of the floor glowed softly and slid open.
The Hidden Chamber
Inside was a circular chamber, lit by a single glowing orb. On the far wall was a large stone mural—a dragon with torn wings and chains around its body.
Beneath it was an altar with old writings.
Ye Tian stepped forward.
"Only one who bears the Wrath Mark shall awaken the sleeping storm."
The Dragon Seal Fragment flew from his hand and embedded itself in the altar.
Ding!Fragment Resonance 100% – Trial Chamber Unlocked.
Suddenly, the floor vanished beneath him.
Trial of the Second Fragment
Ye Tian landed inside a massive illusion realm—a battlefield filled with bones and ash. Red lightning cracked above.
A giant figure rose from the fog. It was armored and faceless, holding a massive black sword.
"If you want the next piece… show me the rage of one who was broken."
Ye Tian's eyes lit up.
"I was cast aside, humiliated, and betrayed. Rage is all I had."
Soulburn Claw – Dual Form!Wrath Pulse – Final Charge!
They clashed. The sound shook the skies.
Victory and Revelation
The armored warrior faded into sparks.
Ding!Trial Passed.You have acquired: Dragon Seal Fragment (2/3)Bonus Skill Unlocked: Wrath Infusion (Stage 1)Infuse normal attacks with wrath energy for 5 seconds. Cooldown: 30 seconds.
Ye Tian stood silently as the chamber reformed around him.
He now had two pieces.
"One more to go."
System:Next fragment is… outside the sect. In the Shadowlands.

"I'm not stopping until they all remember my name."
