At this moment, Fang Chen was frowning as he observed the mysterious canyon. He could feel the majestic Soul Qi coming from the canyon.
Hearing Yuan Xin's words, Fang Chen snorted coldly and said, "There are many disciples in the Reverence Sword Sect, how many do you know?"
Fang Chen's attitude made Yuan Xin unhappy. Yuan Xin and Haoyang looked at each other. They wanted to test Fang Chen's strength and see if he was strong enough.
"Kid, do you think we'll believe you're a disciple of the Reverence Sword Sect just because you said so?"
Yuan Xin snorted and said coldly.
Fang Chen didn't say anything. The Hidden Star Sword appeared in his hand. His intention was obvious. If you want to fight, then I'll fight.
Seeing Fang Chen take out the Hidden Star Sword, Yuan Xin's eyes flashed. A mace appeared in his hand. Spirit Qi surged out of his body and he waved the mace in his hand.
Xiu
The Sword of Water and Fire shot out from the Hidden Star Sword and collided with the mace. Sparks flew everywhere.
Yuan Xin took a few steps back and gripped his mace tightly. The web between his thumb and forefinger hurt from the impact. His eyes were cold as he looked at Fang Chen.
"Kid, with your strength, you want to fight with us for the treasures in this canyon?" Yuan Xin said coldly.
Yuan Xin was an outstanding disciple of the Heavenly Star Sect's younger generation, but he wasn't the best. He was at the late stage of the eighth Qi Hai realm. When he fought with Fang Chen just now, he felt that Fang Chen's strength was at most at the mid stage of the eighth Qi Hai realm. So Yuan Xin wasn't afraid of Fang Chen.
"You'll know if you try."
Fang Chen sneered and used the seventh level of the Sword of Water and Fire. When he used the seventh level of the Sword of Water and Fire, Fang Chen also used the Great Luo Soul Slaughter Flame.
If he only used the seventh level of the Sword of Water and Fire to deal with Yuan Xin, it would be difficult. But if he used the Great Luo Soul Slaughter Flame, Yuan Xin would definitely be at a disadvantage.
Bang
The sword light of water and fire collided with the mace and exploded. The mace instantly charged out from the boundless energy and smashed towards Fang Chen.
At this moment, Yuan Xin's body suddenly trembled. He roared and the mace in his hand fell to the ground.
Bang
Fang Chen wouldn't let go of such a good opportunity. He kicked Yuan Xin's body and sent him flying.
Seeing this, Haoyang took a step forward and grabbed Yuan Xin who was about to fall to the ground. He hurriedly asked, "Brother Yuan Xin, what's wrong?"
"He, he actually knows how to use soul attacks!" Yuan Xin roared furiously.
Hearing this, even the Earth Fire Sect's Haoyang was shocked. Among the younger generation, there were not many warriors who could use Spiritual Soul attacks. He never imagined that the man in front of him could use Spiritual Soul attacks.
If he didn't know how to use soul attacks, it would be easy for them to kill him. But since he knew how to use soul attacks, this matter was troublesome.
"Brother Yuan Xin, don't be rash."
Haoyang whispered, "He knows how to use soul attacks. Even if we kill him, both of us will be injured. It will affect our entry into the canyon."
Hearing this, Yuan Xin suppressed his impulse and nodded, "Once we enter the canyon, it will be the time of his death."
"That's right. Once we enter the canyon, we can definitely kill him." Haoyang said.
Then, Haoyang cupped his hands towards Fang Chen and said, "Brother, Yuan Xin attacked you just now to test your strength. With your strength, you are qualified to enter the canyon."
"Let's rely on our own abilities. The treasure in the canyon will belong to whoever obtains it." Haoyang continued.
Fang Chen ignored Haoyang. He took a step forward and directly entered the flat ground in front of the canyon. As soon as he entered the range of the canyon's Spiritual Aura, Fang Chen realized that his Spiritual Aura had become even more powerful.
"So strong."
Fang Chen felt that he couldn't move an inch. At this moment, Fang Chen released his orange level soul and it instantly surrounded his body.
At this moment, the soul attacks on Fang Chen's soul were much weaker.
Fang Chen moved forward with difficulty. After moving forward for a while, Fang Chen encountered another wild soul attack. Even if he pushed his orange level soul to the limit, he still couldn't move forward.
After trying for a while, Fang Chen finally gave up.
"It seems that the strength of an early orange level soul is not enough for me to enter the canyon." Fang Chen thought to himself.
Then, Fang Chen sat down cross-legged and released his orange level soul. He used the powerful soul aura in the canyon to refine his soul.
Putting aside the treasure in the mysterious canyon, the flat ground in front of the canyon was definitely a good place to refine one's soul.
Fang Chen knew that he couldn't move forward. He immediately sat down cross-legged and started to refine his soul. He felt that if his soul could be stronger, he might be able to enter the canyon.
Seeing Fang Chen sitting cross-legged and refining his soul, Haoyang said in a low voice, "It seems that if you want to enter the mysterious canyon, your soul must be strong enough."
"I didn't expect this kid's soul to have reached the early orange level." Yuan Xin said.
"If he's really a disciple of the Reverence Sword Sect, this kind of soul strength isn't surprising." Haoyang said.
"Let's go in."
After saying that, Yuan Xin took a step forward and quickly entered the flat ground. He released his wild soul aura and moved forward quickly.
Seeing Yuan Xin's action, Haoyang also activated his orange level soul and moved forward. The other disciples who followed them also stepped onto the flat ground.
Although they couldn't enter the canyon, they could still refine their souls here.
In the blink of an eye, Haoyang and Yuan Xin stopped moving forward. At this moment, they were only a few meters away from Fang Chen.
"Refine the soul."
After Yuan Xin and Haoyang stopped moving forward, they sat down cross-legged and started refining their souls.
Their souls had also reached the early orange level, the same as Fang Chen's. However, compared to Fang Chen, their only weakness was that they didn't have any soul attack secret techniques.
Time passed bit by bit. The spirit around Fang Chen's body continued to expand.
At this moment, the orange level soul in Fang Chen's mind was being refined by the majestic soul aura in the canyon.
After an hour, Fang Chen realized that his soul seemed to have strengthened a little. However, there was still a distance to the mid-orange level, so he continued to refine his soul.
However, at this moment, the Little Mouse suddenly appeared on Fang Chen's shoulder. It looked at Fang Chen, then at Haoyang and Yuan Xin behind him. Its little eyes blinked, then it left the place and entered the forest.
Not long after, the Little Mouse returned. In its mouth was a very strange spiritual herb. Even Fang Chen didn't know what it was.
The Little Mouse came to Fang Chen's side and handed the spiritual herb to Fang Chen, indicating that Fang Chen should swallow it. When Fang Chen saw this, he was a little puzzled. However, he still chose to believe in the Little Mouse.
After the Little Mouse saw Fang Chen swallow it, it turned around and left.
When Fang Chen swallowed the spiritual herb, his mind exploded. Immediately after, countless wild auras erupted from the spiritual herb, causing Fang Chen to be incomparably shocked.
"This …"
Fang Chen was incomparably shocked. After swallowing the spiritual herb, Fang Chen could clearly feel that his soul was slowly strengthening.
"Just what kind of spiritual herb is this?" Fang Chen was incomparably shocked.
By the time the spiritual herb's medicinal effects were completely absorbed, Fang Chen's soul had already strengthened by forty percent.
"A spiritual herb's medicinal effects are actually this strong." Fang Chen sighed. Of course, after careful analysis, Fang Chen found that although the spiritual herb's medicinal effects were very strong, the true reason for its effects was the boundless spiritual aura within the canyon.
If it weren't for that boundless spiritual aura, the spiritual herb wouldn't have been able to display such a large effect. In short, Fang Chen had the advantage of time, place, and people.
Just as Fang Chen was rejoicing, the Little Mouse returned once more. In its mouth was a spiritual herb that was exactly the same as the one from before.
Fang Chen gently stroked the Little Mouse and then swallowed it. The Little Mouse turned around and continued searching for more spiritual herbs.
At this time, Fang Chen's actions were noticed by Haoyang and Yuan Xin behind him. They could sense that Fang Chen's spiritual fluctuations were very strong.
"Oh, what is that spiritual herb? Why would it increase the strength of his soul?" asked Haoyang.
"All of you, quickly go to the mountain forest and search for that strange spiritual herb for me. The more, the better." Yuan Xin turned his head and roared at the disciples behind him.
Many disciples were in the middle of tempering their souls when they heard Yuan Xin's roar. They all got up and quickly entered the mountain forest.
It wasn't just the Heavenly Star Sect's disciples. Even the Earth Flame Sect's disciples entered the mountain forest to search for spiritual herbs.
After consuming the second spiritual herb, Fang Chen's soul had already strengthened by eighty percent. As long as he consumed another spiritual herb, his soul would definitely reach the mid orange tier.
Following that, Fang Chen continued tempering his soul.
After a full six hours, the Little Mouse returned. It was holding a young spiritual herb in its mouth. This time, it took the longest time.
When it passed it to Fang Chen, the latter understood that this spiritual herb was very rare. Finding it would be very difficult.
"Thank you for your hard work." Fang Chen rubbed the Little Mouse's head. The Little Mouse directly jumped onto Fang Chen's shoulder.
After that, Fang Chen consumed the young spiritual herb.
At this time, the Heavenly Star Sect and Earth Flame Sect's disciples returned. They didn't have anything in their hands. Yuan Xin was furious.
"Senior apprentice-brother Yuan Xin, we searched the entire mountain forest, but we didn't find the spiritual herb you spoke of. We even lost two disciples because of this," said a disciple.
"A bunch of trash. You can't even compare to a mouse?" Yuan Xin pointed at the mouse on Fang Chen's shoulder and roared furiously.
"Senior apprentice-brother Yuan Xin, time is of the essence. Let's hurry and temper our souls," said Haoyang.
After another hour, Fang Chen finally finished absorbing the spiritual herb's medicinal energy. When the last trace of the spiritual herb's medicinal energy was absorbed, Fang Chen felt his head explode.
Crack!
Fang Chen opened his eyes. His face was full of joy.
"Mid orange tier."
His soul had reached the mid orange tier as he wished. On the other hand, Haoyang and Yuan Xin did not improve at all.
Fang Chen slowly stood up. He glanced at Haoyang and Yuan Xin, then took a step forward and rushed towards the canyon.
The Little Mouse on Fang Chen's shoulder raised its paw and made a disdainful gesture at Haoyang and Yuan Xin.
This scene made Haoyang and Yuan Xin furious.
"Damn it. This kid consumed the spiritual herb. His soul has reached the mid orange tier," said Haoyang in a low voice.
