Scribble Hub
The lake shimmered under the silver moonlight as Su Yang stood waist-deep in water, his body still smoldering from the aftereffects of the Body Tempering Pill. He had pushed himself to the brink with the Mountain Splitting Punch, and now the Purification Body status coursed through him, purging every impurity with relentless intensity.
A faint golden glow rippled through his veins.
> "It's like I've shed an old skin," he muttered. "I'm... reborn."
The system chimed softly in his mind:
> [Status Updated] Purification Body: Active
All impurities expelled.
Su Yang clenched his fists, the air around him rippling with power. He stepped onto the bank, breathing heavily, when—
Crack.
A sharp branch snapped in the forest nearby.
He turned instantly, world energy already gathering into his palm. Every instinct screamed: Danger.
The trees rustled.
Leaves twisted and scattered.
Then—a black blur launched toward him.
Su Yang reacted in a heartbeat, his arm reared back, world energy igniting his fist. He was about to unleash his Mountain Splitting Punch—
> "Woof!"
His punch halted mid-air as the blur landed not with a crash, but a soft thud.
It was a dog. Not a beast, not a spirit creature—just a dog.
But not an ordinary one.
The creature's golden coat gleamed under moonlight, its eyes shone with deep intelligence, and a mane of black fur circled its neck like a warrior's collar.
The two locked eyes.
Then... Su Yang lowered his fist.
The dog stepped forward, tail wagging once.
> "You're no threat," Su Yang whispered, slowly stroking its head.
The dog closed its eyes, as if confirming a bond.
Suddenly, the dog leapt away and barked sharply—then turned and sprinted toward the forest.
It stopped. Looked back.
> "You want me to follow?"
> "Woof."
Su Yang hesitated for only a moment before dashing after it.
---
They ran through twisting trees and uneven terrain, deeper into untouched forest. After ten minutes, the dog stopped at a towering mountain wall, overgrown with moss and vines.
> "There's nothing here."
The dog barked again, bit Su Yang's robe, and pulled him forward.
Before Su Yang could resist, the dog pushed its head into the stone wall—and disappeared.
Su Yang froze.
> "What—?"
With a deep breath, he placed his hand against the wall... and it rippled like water.
> "This isn't stone. It's an illusion!"
He stepped through.

⚔️ The Hall of Lost Sovereigns
A blast of air hit him as he entered a colossal underground chamber. Carved torches lit automatically along the sides. Three towering statues stood at the end, each surrounded by an eerie aura of power.
One statue held a hammer, flames dancing around it.
Another painted symbols on a scroll of light.
The last one rested his hand on a giant cauldron, filled with swirling mist.
Before each statue was a glass orb, glowing faintly.
Su Yang turned—above the entrance was a glowing inscription:
> "To those who fate has brought here... we leave behind our legacies. Touch the orb, prove your worth. Our knowledge is yours—but beware, knowledge comes at a cost."
Suddenly, the door slammed shut behind him. The torches flared brighter. The air grew tense.
Su Yang looked down. The dog—still calm—sat near the blacksmith statue.
> "That one first?"
> "Woof."
He stepped toward the orb.
> "Let's see what fate has in store."

🔥 Trial of the Blacksmith Sovereign
As his hand touched the orb, blinding blue light erupted, dragging Su Yang's mind into a burning forge.
He stood before a molten river, hammer in hand. Around him, phantom blacksmiths toiled endlessly. A voice echoed through fire:
> "To forge is to endure. To endure is to burn. Now—CREATE!"
A glowing ingot appeared.
Flames surged.
Su Yang had no time to think—instinct took over. He struck the ingot once—twice—ten times. The fire screamed, lashing his skin, searing his spirit. His hands blistered, but he did not stop.
When the final strike fell—a sword was born.
It hovered in the air, gleaming with power.
The forge vanished.
He fell backward, breathless, as the orb pulsed one final time.

> "That... was insane," Su Yang whispered.

🌀 The Inscriber's Wisdom
The dog barked again—louder this time—drawing Su Yang's attention to the second statue.
Without hesitation, he touched the next orb.
Once more, blue light erupted—and the chamber turned into a sea of floating runes.
An unseen voice murmured:
> "Everything in this world is formed by law and pattern. Learn to draw, and you command creation itself."
A brush appeared in Su Yang's hand. A vast sheet of light unfurled before him.
> "Draw the Rune of Balance. Fail, and you'll be lost in the sea of chaos."
The runes began to twist—turn—lash at him.
With his mind focused like never before, Su Yang dipped the brush into energy and carved.
Line.
Curve.
Hook.
Boom.
The runes stopped. A radiant formation circle appeared beneath him.
He had passed.

🌿 Chapter: The Third Flame – Legacy of the Cauldron Sovereign
Su Yang stood before the final statue—its eyes carved with infinite calm, its hand resting gently upon a massive cauldron. Swirling mist coiled around its feet, and the glass orb before it pulsed like a heartbeat, echoing through the ancient hall.
Max growled softly, ears perked.
> "So this is it... the final legacy," Su Yang muttered.
He took a breath and stepped forward.
As his fingers brushed the orb, a roaring wind swallowed the hall, and the world twisted again.

🔮 Trial of the Cauldron Sovereign
Su Yang opened his eyes and found himself standing in a massive herbal valley, surrounded by countless glowing plants. The scent of spirit herbs filled the air—sweet, bitter, fiery, cold—all swirling together.
Before him, a ghostly cauldron floated mid-air, ancient runes carved into its iron belly. A calm, echoing voice rang out:
> "To refine is to master. The flames of alchemy demand control. Fail... and you burn with your creation."
A row of ingredients hovered before him—Spirit Grass, Moon Petals, Flame Root, and a glowing crystal vial marked with ancient text.
> "Refine a Basic Body Tempering Pill. Time limit: 300 seconds."
Suddenly, flames ignited beneath the cauldron.
Su Yang's pulse surged.
> "No time to think. Let's go!"
He tossed the ingredients in one by one, world energy guiding his hands. Sweat dripped as he controlled the flames—too hot and the herbs would burn, too cold and the reaction would fail.
The Moon Petals sizzled.
The Flame Root began to resist, releasing violent spiritual backlash.
> "Calm... stabilize... fuse!" he grunted.
His left hand flared with heat, his right glowing with focus. The mist within the cauldron swirled, exploded, and finally—
BOOM!
A shockwave ripped out—but the cauldron stood firm. Within it, nestled in golden liquid—
A flawless, glowing pill.
> [Alchemy Legacy Received: Basic Pillcraft | Flame Control Techniques | Herbal Spirit Knowledge]
The voice returned, softer now:
> "You have passed. Take this wisdom. Grow strong. The Sovereigns are watching."

🏛️ Return of the Chosen
With a pulse of blue light, Su Yang's consciousness snapped back.
He stood once again in the silent hall, all three orbs now dark and lifeless. The three statues glowed faintly, as if nodding their approval.
> "It's done," Su Yang whispered, his voice low and awed. "I carry their legacies now."
Max wagged his tail and barked once.
Then the hall trembled.
Crack—RUMBLE!
The ceiling above the cauldron statue split open—revealing a sky full of stars. A gentle beam of starlight poured in and washed over Su Yang and Max.
> [System Update: Triple Sovereign Inheritance Complete]

Su Yang collapsed to one knee, gasping.
The dog barked once.
Su Yang smiled.
> "You knew what this place was. You're not just a dog, are you?"
The dog simply wagged its tail.

🐉 Fate's Companion and Future Forging
Su Yang turned, crouched, and placed a hand on the dog's head.
> "You led me here. You risked yourself for me. So tell me—do you want to stay?"
The dog stared into his eyes. Then nodded.
> "Then from this moment forward, your name is Max. My companion."
The system chimed again.
> [New Companion Acquired: Max] Mystic Beast of Unknown Grade | Loyalty: 100 | Bond Formed
Su Yang looked around the hall once more.
> "Three legacies… I've taken two. One remains."
He glanced at the final statue.
The cauldron. The alchemist.
> "But not today."
Su Yang turned toward the exit, which now stood open—light pouring through.
He stepped forward with Max beside him.
