Kacha!
The Hidden Star Sword in Fang Chen's hand quickly pierced into Yuan Xin's chest. Yuan Xin's chest immediately spurted out a large amount of blood.
Yuan Xin let out a miserable scream. This was a fatal blow. He felt like he couldn't even breathe properly.
"I refuse to accept this!"
Yuan Xin roared furiously, but in the end, he still couldn't resist the sharpness of a high level spirit weapon. Fang Chen's wrist shook, and the Hidden Star Sword stirred inside Yuan Xin's body, directly piercing through Yuan Xin's heart.
Yuan Xin's eyes were wide open. Even in death, he looked at Fang Chen with unwillingness. His body slowly fell to the ground.
PUCHI!
The moment Fang Chen killed Yuan Xin, Haoyang's fist suddenly bombarded Fang Chen's body. In an instant, Fang Chen's body was directly sent flying, and the Hidden Star Sword in his hand flew out of his hand.
"How is this possible?!"
After sending Fang Chen flying, Haoyang was shocked to find that Yuan Xin was already dead. A trace of fear appeared in his heart.
"He's already injured. He's not my match." Haoyang comforted himself inside.
BANG!
Fang Chen's body just so happened to collide with the bones on the praying mat, and then he fell to the ground.
PUCHI!
Fang Chen coughed up blood. His face was pale. In order to kill Yuan Xin, he had received Haoyang's full power attack and was heavily injured.
When Haoyang saw that Fang Chen was heavily injured, a sinister smile appeared on his face. Then he walked step by step toward Fang Chen.
"Brat, what qualifications do you have to block me now?" Haoyang sneered.
When Haoyang got close to Fang Chen, he clenched his fist and punched out. Just at this moment, Fang Chen endured the pain all over his body and used the Daluo Soul Killing Flame.
SWISH!
The soul of a mid-Orange-level soul shot out rapidly. Then, it turned into a flame in the sky and attacked Hao Yang.
"This move again!"
Seeing this, Haoyang was enraged. He threw a punch at the Great Luo Soul Slaughter Flame and instantly shattered it.
Just as Hao Yang destroyed the Great Luo Soul Killer Flame, Fang Chen quickly crawled towards the skeleton. Seeing this, Hao Yang wanted to stop him, but it was too late.
Fang Chen's body was surrounded by dense orange-level souls. He quickly appeared in front of the skeleton and placed his palm gently on it.
Bang
The instant Fang Chen's hand touched the skeleton, a majestic Spiritual Aura instantly pressed down on Fang Chen, causing the entire valley to be filled with an extreme pressure.
"This is …"
Haoyang stopped in his tracks. His eyes were filled with fear as he watched this scene. He didn't dare to act rashly.
At this moment, Fang Chen was already suppressed by the powerful Spiritual Aura to the point that he couldn't move. His pupils shrank as he looked at the skeleton. Then, he unleashed the Great Luo Soul Slaughter Flame in an attempt to shatter the surrounding pressure.
Just as the Great Luo Soul Slaughter Flame came into contact with the surrounding majestic Spiritual Aura, a sigh was suddenly heard.
In an instant, Fang Chen felt the pressure on his body lessen.
Fang Chen's face was filled with shock. His heart was even more shaken because the sigh came from the skeleton.
After the sigh came from the skeleton, an even more majestic Spiritual Aura instantly enveloped the entire valley. Fang Chen and Haoyang were both trapped inside.
"The fact that you're able to come here means that your Spiritual Aura has reached a certain level." An aged voice was heard by the two of them.
When the two of them heard this, their hearts trembled.
"Senior." Fang Chen called out to the skeleton.
"My remnant consciousness has finally met the fated person." The skeleton spoke once more.
"However, my inheritance can only be given to one of you."
Hearing Dry Bones' words, Fang Chen and Haoyang exchanged glances. Both of their eyes were filled with enmity.
The skeleton's inheritance could only be given to one of them. In other words, the other person would definitely return empty-handed. The two of them both wanted the inheritance. Naturally, neither of them was willing to back down.
"I've set up a test here. Whoever can pass the test will be able to obtain my inheritance."
The skeleton continued.
"Senior, what is the test?" asked Fang Chen.
"The test is to compress your Spiritual Aura to the red tier." As soon as the skeleton finished speaking, Fang Chen felt an immense pressure.
"Soul compression to the red tier?!" Fang Chen was incomparably shocked. He had always heard of increasing. This was the first time he had heard of compressing.
Could it be that the Spiritual Aura could also be compressed?
Fang Chen glanced at Haoyang. The latter was sitting cross-legged. It seemed he was compressing his Spiritual Aura. Fang Chen also sat cross-legged and began to compress his Spiritual Aura.
Since the skeleton had said that the Spiritual Aura could be compressed, then it should be possible. He just needed a method.
Fang Chen closed his eyes. Some information regarding the Spiritual Aura flashed through his mind. After a long time, Fang Chen opened his eyes.
Haoyang was still crazily compressing his Spiritual Aura.
"Senior."
Fang Chen cupped his hands towards the skeleton. "The Spiritual Aura cannot be compressed. Even if it could be compressed, with my strength, I wouldn't be able to compress it. Senior's test is simply impossible."
Fang Chen spoke the truth. Hearing Fang Chen's words, a carefree laugh came from the skeleton, followed by a joyful voice.
"You've passed the test," said the skeleton.
Haoyang, who was doing his best to compress his Spiritual Aura, was filled with unwillingness. He shouted, "Senior, why did he pass the test?!"
"He's right. With your strength, it's impossible for you to compress your Spiritual Aura to the red tier. This test itself has a problem," said the skeleton.
"He didn't compress his Spiritual Aura blindly. Instead, he was thinking. But you, after hearing my test, you started compressing your Spiritual Aura blindly. Your understanding of the Spiritual Aura is inferior to his," continued the skeleton.
Hearing this, Fang Chen finally understood. So this test tested one's understanding of the Spiritual Aura.
Hearing the skeleton's words, Fang Chen was very happy and excited.
"I refuse to accept this!" Haoyang shouted. He refused to accept this result.
"You can accept my inheritance," said the skeleton to Fang Chen.
At this moment, Haoyang wanted to take the opportunity to kill Fang Chen. However, he was shocked to find that his surroundings were filled with boundless Spiritual Aura. He couldn't move his body.
"Damn it!" Haoyang roared angrily.
Under the skeleton's guidance, Fang Chen came to the praying mat and sat cross-legged in front of the skeleton.
"However, before you accept the inheritance, I'll have to compress your Spiritual Aura to the red tier. The Spiritual Cultivation Technique of your continent is too crude. Although your Spiritual Aura has reached the middle stage of the orange tier, your foundation isn't good enough. It's very crude and will affect your future development."
As soon as the skeleton finished speaking, a majestic aura burst forth and circled around Fang Chen's body. Eventually, it tunneled into Fang Chen's body.
Hiss! Hiss!
Fang Chen felt that his head was about to explode from the pain. He wanted to scream out loud, but he persisted.
At this moment, in his mind, the orange tier Spiritual Aura was constantly being compressed by the skeleton's Spiritual Aura. As time passed, it was undergoing changes.
Time passed by slowly. In the blink of an eye, six hours had passed. In these six hours, Fang Chen's body underwent earth-shattering changes.
Haoyang looked at this scene and was furious. The inheritance that should have belonged to him was snatched away by Fang Chen. He hated Fang Chen very much.
"Kid, I'll definitely kill you. The inheritance is mine." Haoyang said in his heart.
After six hours of compression, Fang Chen finally realized that the middle stage of the orange tier Spiritual Aura in his mind was gradually weakening. Now, it was only at the early stage of the orange tier Spiritual Aura.
"Compression of the Spiritual Aura? How powerful is this?" Fang Chen was shocked. Even a Condensing Reality Realm warrior wouldn't be able to do this.
While Fang Chen was shocked, his Spiritual Aura was gradually being compressed. After another six hours, Fang Chen's Spiritual Aura was finally compressed to the red tier.
At this moment, the skeleton was still compressing Fang Chen's Spiritual Aura.
Hiss!
When Fang Chen's Spiritual Aura was compressed to the early stage of the red tier, the skeleton's boundless Spiritual Aura finally left Fang Chen's mind.
Crash!
Fang Chen instantly regained consciousness. He hastily checked his Spiritual Aura. If he didn't check, he wouldn't have known.
"How is this possible?"
Fang Chen was sure that his Spiritual Aura was only at the early stage of the red tier. However, he could clearly feel that even though his Spiritual Aura was only at the early stage of the red tier, the strength of his Spiritual Aura was not weaker than the orange tier Spiritual Aura from before.
"How is this possible?" Fang Chen cried out involuntarily. He was extremely shocked.
"I've already said that your continent's Spiritual Aura Cultivation Technique is very crude. Your Spiritual Aura Cultivation Technique's foundation is not good enough." The skeleton said.
Only now did Fang Chen notice the skeleton's words. His face was filled with shock as he looked at the skeleton and asked, "Senior, could it be that you don't belong to our continent?"
The skeleton didn't answer this question. Instead, it continued, "You're a bit better than I imagined. Being able to find a successor like you while my Spiritual Aura is dying makes me feel relieved."
