There were a total of 100 disciples, and every one of them had a communication jade pendant. This type of communication jade pendant had been specially made for this event.
Within the mountain range, if the stronger disciples encountered the weaker disciples, they would definitely try to snatch their Spirit Pearls.
For the sake of fairness, Elder Mo and the others had specially made this type of communication jade pendant. If they encountered a stronger disciple and weren't a match for them, they could crush the communication jade pendant.
However, once the communication jade pendant was crushed, it meant that they had already withdrawn from the event. Of course, the Spirit Pearls they had obtained earlier would still be considered their achievements.
This way, all the disciples were filled with confidence.
"Alright, the event has begun. Everyone, enter the mountain range," Elder Mo said loudly.
As soon as Elder Mo finished speaking, countless disciples rushed into the mountain range outside the Spirit Stream.
Just as Fang Chen was about to move forward, a figure suddenly appeared beside Fang Chen. "Fang Chen, I was wrong before. I hope you don't take offense."
This was Xing Feng. Ever since he had been defeated by Fang Chen, he no longer dared to underestimate Fang Chen. He had acknowledged Fang Chen from the bottom of his heart.
"It's fine."
Fang Chen didn't have time to bear a grudge against Xing Feng. There were many disciples who had a grudge against him, and he couldn't possibly remember all of them.
When he heard Fang Chen's words, a faint smile appeared on Xing Feng's face. Then, he followed Fang Chen and quickly left the Spirit Stream's mountain range.
In just a short while, all 100 disciples had entered the mountain range.
Fang Chen and Xing Feng had just entered the mountain range when they sensed a faint demonic beast aura.
"Fang Chen, where are we going now?" Xing Feng asked. This small team was completely led by Fang Chen.
"Let's search for Spirit Pearls first," Fang Chen said softly.
Spirit Pearls were a special kind of tool. The pearls would emit a faintly discernible spiritual aura. As long as you were within a certain distance, you would be able to sense the existence of the Spirit Pearl.
Of course, some disciples with strong souls could even detect the existence of the Soul Pearls from even further away.
After walking with Xing Feng for about ten minutes, Fang Chen suddenly stopped and said, "There are Soul Pearls nearby."
Hearing Fang Chen's words, Xing Feng's eyes brightened. "Where?"
Fang Chen didn't answer Xing Feng. His deep eyes looked into the distance, and then he quickly walked away.
Not long after, Fang Chen arrived in front of a small hill. At this time, Fang Chen could clearly sense the existence of the Soul Pearl.
"It's on the hill," Fang Chen said confidently.
He could feel a very strong soul aura emanating from the small hill. He was sure that there was a Soul Pearl here.
Then, Fang Chen took a step forward and stepped onto the small hill, ready to take the Soul Pearl.
At this moment, the roar of a demonic beast was heard. Then, a black shadow attacked Fang Chen directly.
"Evil beast, you're courting death."
Seeing this, Xing Feng's figure flashed and appeared in front of the demonic beast. He activated all the strength in his body and directly punched the demonic beast.
Crack!
The demonic beast was hit by Xing Feng's punch. Its body immediately retreated and it let out a miserable cry. With a bang, the demonic beast's body fell heavily to the ground.
Roar!
The demonic beast quickly stood up and roared at Xing Feng.
However, this demonic beast wasn't strong. Xing Feng could deal with it alone.
"Fang Chen, leave the demonic beast to me," Xing Feng said in a low voice.
Then, Xing Feng and the demonic beast started fighting. The fight between the two was very intense. The surrounding trees all fell to the ground.
Puchi!
When Xing Feng's punch landed on the demonic beast's head, the demonic beast finally fell to the ground unwillingly and lost its vitality.
At this moment, Fang Chen dug up the soil at the top of the small hill. A white pearl emitting a gentle light appeared in front of Fang Chen's eyes.
Fang Chen grabbed the white pearl. Immediately, a soul aura burrowed into his mind.
"Soul Pearl."
Fang Chen's face revealed a trace of a smile. He didn't expect to get a Soul Pearl as soon as he entered the mountain range.
"How is it?" Xing Feng had just killed the demonic beast. He turned to look at Fang Chen and asked.
Fang Chen nodded. He took out the Soul Pearl and showed it to Xing Feng.
"It's really a Soul Pearl."
Xing Feng stared at the Soul Pearl and laughed excitedly.
Whoosh!
Just as Xing Feng was laughing excitedly, a sudden gust of wind blew. Then, a black shadow appeared in front of Xing Feng at lightning speed.
Crash!
Xing Feng felt that his hand was empty. Then, he looked down and saw that the Soul Pearl in his hand had disappeared. A figure appeared beside him.
"Many thanks."
A sinister smile appeared on the figure's face as he cupped his fists and smiled at Xing Feng.
The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind.
When Fang Chen saw this, his face turned completely gloomy.
"Pu Yang, return my Soul Pearl!" Xing Feng roared furiously when he saw Pu Yang snatch his Soul Pearl.
"The Soul Pearl is in my hands, so it's mine. Xing Feng, what are you going to use to snatch it from me?" Pu Yang's face was filled with disdain.
He had just passed by this place and accidentally discovered that Xing Feng and Fang Chen had obtained a Soul Pearl. So he had casually snatched it away.
If it was anyone else, it would be impossible for them to silently snatch the Soul Pearl from Xing Feng's hands. But Pu Yang was able to do it.
That was because besides cultivating the soul, Pu Yang had also cultivated a profound movement technique. With his movement technique, ordinary martial artists wouldn't be able to see his figure.
"You're courting death!"
Xing Feng was furious. He took a step forward, preparing to attack Pu Yang.
"Xing Feng, before you attack, you should think carefully. Once I attack, you will regretfully be eliminated. Of course, even if I kill you, no one will know." Pu Yang grinned, his eyes filled with disdain.
"You!"
Xing Feng knew that he wasn't Pu Yang's match. Being anxious was useless.
Just at this moment, Fang Chen walked down from the small hill. He walked in front of Xing Feng and looked at Pu Yang.
"Fang Chen, I'm sorry." Xing Feng blamed himself for losing the Soul Pearl.
Fang Chen shook his head slightly. "It's not your fault."
Fang Chen raised his head and looked at Pu Yang. "Hand over the Soul Pearl and I can let you live."
"Fang Chen, are you sure you're speaking the truth?" Pu Yang looked at Fang Chen.
BOOM!
Fang Chen's body released a wild aura. Suddenly, powerful sword intent surged out of his body. His aura rose to its peak.
"Hmph, you want me to hand over my Soul Pearl? In your dreams." Pu Yang sneered when he saw that Fang Chen was about to attack.
Daluo Soul Slaughter Flame!
Fang Chen didn't hesitate to use the Daluo Soul Slaughter Flame. Suddenly, a wild spiritual aura surged out of his head. In the next moment, it transformed into a spiritual flame in the sky that attacked Pu Yang.
"You want to compete in souls with me? You're really courting death."
When Pu Yang saw this, he sneered and used a soul attack. His powerful soul turned into a long sword and pierced into Fang Chen's soul flame.
Swish!
At the same time, Pu Yang used a profound movement technique. Afterimages appeared on the ground. For a moment, it was impossible to tell which one was his real body.
"Fang Chen, be careful," said Xing Feng worriedly when he saw this.
Fang Chen narrowed his eyes and looked at the series of afterimages. He grinned and used the twelfth level of the Water-Fire Sword Art.
Whoosh!
When the twelfth level of the Water-Fire Sword Art was unleashed, a powerful water-fire sword-light that carried boundless sword intent charged at the countless afterimages.
At this moment, Pu Yang's body actually trembled.
"What's going on?"
Pu Yang was a little puzzled. Why had he felt his vision darken, as if he had been caught in an illusion?
However, just as Pu Yang regained consciousness, an ice-cold sword suddenly pierced his body.
Pu Yang turned pale with fright and did his best to twist his body to avoid the sword's attack.
Puchi!
The sword deviated from its original trajectory and stabbed into Pu Yang's arm. Blood spurted out as Pu Yang's body was sent flying.
Bang!
Pu Yang's body fell to the ground. His face was filled with disbelief. His movement technique was so profound. How had Fang Chen been able to capture his real body?
"Impossible! This is impossible!" Pu Yang cried out involuntarily.
He didn't know that although his movement technique was profound, Fang Chen's Illusory Sword Path was even more miraculous. When he used his movement technique, he had already unknowingly fallen into Fang Chen's illusion technique.
"Spirit Pearl," Fang Chen said coldly as he walked over to Pu Yang.
Pu Yang hesitated for a moment before finally taking out the Spirit Pearl. After all, it was only a Spirit Pearl. He didn't want to give up on this activity because of this Spirit Pearl.
"Fang Chen, let's wait and see."
Pu Yang took out the Spirit Pearl and dragged his injured arm before turning around and disappearing.
Fang Chen took the Spirit Pearl and stored it in his interspatial ring. At this moment, Xing Feng finally woke up from his shock.
"Fang Chen, you are really too strong," said Xing Feng with a grin.
Xing Feng grinned. At the same time, he was also scared. Fortunately, he had thought things through after losing to Fang Chen. Otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable if he had secretly done something to Fang Chen.
"Let's go," said Fang Chen.
At this moment, Pu Yang was dragging his injured arm forward on a piece of flat land. Suddenly, he saw a figure appear in front of him.
"Yes, big brother!"
Pu Yang saw that the movement technique used by the figure in front of him was exactly the same as his own. Immediately, he laughed.
Following this, Pu Yang shouted loudly. The person in front of him stopped in his tracks and flashed out. He had discovered Pu Yang.
"What happened to your arm?" asked Pu Han with a frown.
"Big brother, my Spirit Pearl was stolen by Fang Chen." Pu Yang was incomparably excited when he saw his big brother.
