If it weren't for Elder Han and Elder Li's timely appearance, Meng Yu might have already been killed by Fang Chen. It was easy to imagine just how strong Fang Chen was.
Meng Yu was terrified as he lay on the ground. He didn't dare to imagine how a newly promoted honorary disciple could be so strong.
"Hurry up and carry him away."
Elder Han spoke and waved his hand, indicating for the other honorary disciples to quickly carry Meng Yu away.
Not long after, the only people left in front of Fang Chen's residence were Elder Li, Elder Han, and Fang Chen.
"Fang Chen, you little brat really hid your strength well. You were actually able to suppress Meng Yu with a flip of your hand. I'm afraid your true strength has already surpassed that brat Soaring Dragon." Elder Han looked at Fang Chen and laughed heartily.
Fang Chen grinned but didn't say anything. After all, Elder Han hadn't asked him that question at the time.
"For someone in the Qi Hai realm to possess such strength, that's not bad." Elder Han lightly patted Fang Chen's shoulder and laughed.
Afterwards, Elder Han and Elder Li chatted with Fang Chen for a while before the two of them left.
In the next few days, Fang Chen was in seclusion cultivating. But no matter how much he cultivated, he was unable to raise his cultivation base.
One day, Fang Chen stopped cultivating and prepared to go to the Body Tempering Pool.
The Body Tempering Pool was located in a wide plaza in the honorary disciple region. There was a Body Tempering Pool in that large plaza.
There were many disciples in front of the Body Tempering Pool.
At this time, there were five disciples tempering their bodies within the Body Tempering Pool. The Body Tempering Liquid within the Body Tempering Pool made a splashing sound.
When Fang Chen arrived, he saw Soaring Dragon Marquis tempering his body within the Body Tempering Pool. The Body Tempering Pool could only hold five people at a time, so Fang Chen had to wait.
After waiting for about an hour, a disciple finally couldn't endure the Body Tempering Liquid and walked out of the Body Tempering Pool.
Upon seeing this martialist walk out, many of the martialists who were already prepared wanted to dive into the Body Tempering Pool.
However, just as they were fighting, Fang Chen took the lead and entered the Body Tempering Pool.
Seeing this, everyone was furious. Someone actually dared to steal their opportunity. However, when they found out that this person was Fang Chen, they quietly shut their mouths.
The news of Fang Chen suppressing Meng Yu with a flip of his hand had already spread throughout the entire nominal disciple area. Many martial artists were extremely surprised.
Even Meng Yu had been suppressed with a flip of his hand. They did not believe that they could withstand Meng Yu's attack.
As Fang Chen entered the Body Tempering Pool, he instantly discovered that the wild Body Tempering Liquid continuously revolved around his body as it slowly entered his body.
"This is the Body Tempering Liquid."
Fang Chen said as he observed the Body Tempering Liquid.
After the Body Tempering Liquid entered his body, it actually allowed Fang Chen to feel a powerful energy. The Body Tempering Liquid finally merged with his limbs and bones.
"If I cultivate in the Body Tempering Pool for a long time, the strength of my physical body will definitely increase." Fang Chen secretly said in his heart.
Time slowly passed. Fang Chen had been tempering his body in the Body Tempering Liquid. Unknowingly, six hours had passed.
During these six hours, Fang Chen had been tempering his body in the Body Tempering Pool. As for the other four disciples, they had already come out.
"He can actually endure for so long in one go?" a disciple asked doubtfully.
On the shore of the Body Tempering Pool, the Soaring Dragon Marquis narrowed his eyes as he looked at the Body Tempering Pool. Fang Chen's figure was quietly floating there, not moving at all.
"As expected of the Sword Marquis." The Soaring Dragon Marquis sighed in his heart. The Sword Marquis' potential was the strongest he had ever seen.
When he was in the Golden Crown Nation, he was already extremely outstanding. After coming to the Southern Mountain Range, he was still outstanding. Not long after becoming an honorary disciple, his strength had already surpassed his own.
Hearing the disciples discussing the matter of Fang Chen suppressing Meng Yu, the Soaring Dragon Marquis knew that the current Sword Marquis' strength had already surpassed his own.
Meng Yu's cultivation was similar to his own. Relying on the advantage of his cultivation method, he had a slight advantage. However, Fang Chen was actually able to easily suppress Meng Yu. Even the Soaring Dragon Marquis would not be able to do so.
The Body Tempering Liquid in the Body Tempering Pool had a very overbearing medicinal effect. Therefore, when a Registered Disciple used this pool to temper their body, under normal circumstances, they could only last for half an hour at most. Those who could last for more than two hours were already considered Superior Disciples.
Those who could endure for four hours were already considered top disciples.
So far, in the area of nominal disciples, the record for body tempering in the Body Tempering Pool was only six hours and ten minutes.
Of course, this record was set by an honorary disciple a long time ago. He had already become an official disciple of the Barren Sect.
It was said that not long ago, this official disciple had already been promoted to a core disciple of the Barren Sect.
Even in the honorary disciple area, Han He, who was ranked first, only lasted for four hours.
"Is this kid going to break the record?" Many disciples exclaimed.
Under the dumbfounded gazes of the crowd, Fang Chen broke the record. However, he still did not come out, which shocked many disciples.
At this moment, Fang Chen was surrounded by the Body Tempering Liquid. As his body had already transformed into a sword body, which was even more tyrannical than a Dao Body, he did not feel the slightest bit of discomfort being surrounded by the Body Tempering Liquid.
"So comfortable."
Fang Chen thought to himself. During this period of time, the sword body was constantly absorbing the medicinal effects of the Body Tempering Liquid, quietly becoming stronger.
"Relying on the Body Tempering Liquid above, the medicinal effects are still not tyrannical enough, nor is it rich enough."
After enduring for eight hours, Fang Chen realized that the Body Tempering Liquid here could no longer satisfy his needs. He was prepared to go deeper.
Crash!
After remaining motionless for eight hours, Fang Chen finally began to move. Under the dumbfounded gazes of the crowd, Fang Chen's body quickly dived down.
"What? He's diving down!"
Some of the warriors could not help but cry out. Even the Soaring Dragon Marquis' face revealed a trace of shock.
Within the Body Tempering Pool, the deeper one went, the denser the Body Tempering Liquid. Everyone knew this. However, everyone also knew that the denser the Body Tempering Liquid was, the stronger the water pressure. If one went too deep, even the body of a Condensing Reality Realm warrior would not be able to withstand the powerful water pressure.
"What a mysterious guy." The first ranked Han He said faintly.
Unknowingly, Fang Chen had already dived a thousand meters. At this moment, he finally felt a little pressure.
"Let's do it here." Fang Chen grinned and continued to temper his body.
While Fang Chen was tempering his body, the Little Mouse suddenly appeared. As if it had discovered something, it immediately left Fang Chen and dived into the depths of the Body Tempering Pool.
Not long after, a series of tremors came from the depths of the Body Tempering Pool.
The warriors on the shore also discovered this scene.
"What's going on? Why is the Body Tempering Pool moving?" A warrior cried out.
"Could it be that Fang Chen has entered the depths of the Body Tempering Pool and is unable to come out?"
At this moment, the Soaring Dragon Marquis' face was filled with worry. He looked at the Body Tempering Pool, his heart burning with anxiety.
At this moment, in the depths of the Body Tempering Pool, the Little Mouse was opening its mouth and biting a black thing. Every time it bit, the black thing would turn.
Chirp chirp chirp
Not long after, the Little Mouse had bitten the black thing until there was nothing left.
However, it was also at this moment that the last bit of black thing that was left emitted a loud boom. Immediately after, the entire Body Tempering Pool shook.
Fang Chen, who was tempering his body, suddenly discovered this situation. His expression changed greatly and he quickly dove back up.
When the Little Mouse saw this scene, a trace of a smile appeared on its face. It opened its mouth wide and continuously absorbed the energy of the explosion. Not long after, the energy of the explosion was completely absorbed by the Little Mouse.
At the same time, the Little Mouse instantly dived back into Fang Chen's interspatial ring.
Crash!
Fang Chen was directly pushed into the air above the Body Tempering Pool by the strong pressure and then landed on the shore.
Seeing Fang Chen completely drenched and battered, the crowd cried out in alarm. The Soaring Dragon Marquis quickly walked in front of Fang Chen and asked, "Brother Fang, are you alright?"
"I'm fine."
Although Fang Chen didn't know what had just happened, he knew that there was nothing wrong with his body.
When the crowd saw this scene, they inwardly guessed that Fang Chen must have dived into the depths of the Body Tempering Pool and was unable to withstand the water pressure and was forcefully sent flying.
"Brother Fang, the water pressure in the depths of the Body Tempering Pool is too strong. You should be careful." The Soaring Dragon Marquis said.
At this moment, Han He opened his mouth.
"Hmph, you overestimate yourself. You dare to enter the depths of the Body Tempering Pool with just this bit of strength?" Han He sneered, "Count yourself lucky this time. Your body is fine, but I'm afraid you won't be so lucky next time."
After Han He finished speaking, he sneered and turned to leave.
Not long after, the Body Tempering Pool returned to its original state. Many disciples entered the Body Tempering Pool one after another to temper their bodies.
Fang Chen had been thinking about what had happened, but no matter how hard he racked his brains, he still couldn't figure out what had happened.
However, when he returned to his residence, the Little Mouse came out of the interspatial ring and jumped in front of him.
The little old man was chirping and gesticulating.
"What did you say?" Fang Chen looked at the Little Mouse's gesticulations and asked in shock, "You're saying that the strong pressure from before was caused by you?"
