Chapter 2417: Chapter 2421: Misunderstanding and Conflict
Swoosh!
Across the endless desert, a figure is quickly soaring.
Three days have passed, Wu Zhengfeng arrived to pick up Jiang Chen and others.
Buzz!
A magnificent wave of momentum comes from the front.
Wu Zhengfeng looks up with a gentle smile: "Who has made a breakthrough?"
The Great Dao Divine Light flashes, Wu Zhengfeng quickly arrives beside the Spiritual Spring.
At this moment, everyone in the Spiritual Spring opens their eyes, looking down at the bottom of the spring.
Hmm? Is Jiang Chen going to make a breakthrough again?
Wu Zhengfeng slightly pauses, a trace of surprise flashes in his eyes, this guy, how much he must have suppressed earlier!
Currently, the Spiritual Spring is shrouded in a mighty momentum, and that momentum comes from the depths of the spring.
Three days ago.
Jiang Chen dives into the Spiritual Spring, going deeper.
The further down he goes, the greater the pressing of spiritual power, the higher the purity of spiritual power. When Jiang Chen dives to a depth of one hundred meters, he can no longer continue.
The surrounding spiritual power has almost become a liquid state, and the pressure of that spiritual power gives Jiang Chen a suffocating feeling.
Let’s choose here!
Jiang Chen mutters in his heart, his eyes shining upon the visible liquid-like spiritual power surrounding him, a light smile curves his lips.
The spiritual power here is so condensed, after absorbing and refining it, no further tempering should be required. It seems that when I leave here, I can ascend another realm, compensating for the two years of suppression!
With this thought, Jiang Chen doesn’t delay, closes his eyes, opens all the acupoints throughout his body, and starts crazily absorbing the surrounding spiritual power, converting it through his own power.
Instantly, 720 small vortices form around Jiang Chen, frantically devouring the liquid-like spiritual power.
Yet even with such frenzied absorption, the spiritual power in the spring only stirs up a negligible ripple, highlighting the terrifying amount of spiritual power a Saint Expert possesses within.
Roar!
Amid the frenzied absorption, dragon chants resound within Jiang Chen’s body, the Dragon Qi hidden in the acupoints surges forth, fully cooperating with his own spiritual power to refine the absorbed spiritual power.
This scenario continues for three consecutive days!
During these three days, numerous waves of momentum emerge from the surface of the spring a hundred meters above Jiang Chen, indicating that others have broken through their realms by absorbing the spiritual power of this spring.
When the three-day limit is about to reach, a powerful wave of momentum bursts from Jiang Chen a hundred meters below!
"Junior Brother is about to break through!"
Yun Tao looks at the spring below, a smile of delight curves his lips.
"This guy, if so, shouldn’t I turn around and call him Senior Brother?"
Jian Wuheng speaks with an expression of helplessness.
At this time, everyone has made a breakthrough; those who arrived here are the most elite students of each academy, standing at the pinnacle of each realm among all the newcomers. After three days of baptism by the Spiritual Spring, breakthroughs are quite normal.
However, Lei Kai, Fire Phoenix, and Yan Hu have not broken through; they are at the Divine Infant Realm Peak, and what they need for a breakthrough is to condense their foundational Power of the Great Dao into the Great Dao Wheel of Light, not simply replenishing spiritual power.
Moreover, others mostly have broken through; Yun Tao and Cheng Kang have advanced to the Divine Infant Realm Peak, Mu Ling’er has also broken through, but her breakthrough...is merely a matter of a thought.
Jian Wuheng, Feng Qingyang, and Lin Zhong have all advanced to Late Divine Infant Realm, and are only a step away from the Divine Infant Realm Peak.
Sun Qianshan and his companions have also moved into the mid-phase of the Divine Spirit Realm.
"Unexpectedly, Jiang Chen has absorbed so much spiritual power here, the difference in spiritual power between the late and peak Divine Infant Realm is no small matter!"
Fire Phoenix speaks with flickering eyes, discussing Jiang Chen’s situation, while she looks at Yun Tao.
Everyone knows that besides the cultivation technique, the speed of absorbing spiritual power also hinges on the number of acupoints opened, which correlates with the strength of combat skills that can be learned.
Jiang Chen can exhibit such a formidable Wuying Sword Path, certainly having opened a considerable number of acupoints. Fire Phoenix’s move here is to probe, to see if Yun Tao will reveal the count of acupoints Jiang Chen has opened.
"Fire Phoenix, you seem to always take an interest in Junior Brother’s strength. Such casual probing into others’ strength and cards, what do you aim for?"
Yun Tao’s gaze chills, staring intently at Fire Phoenix: "Junior Brother has a good temper, never quarreling with you, I don’t have such a good temper. If you continue to wantonly probe Junior Brother’s depth, I’ll consider you a threat to him!"
Upon hearing, Yan Hu’s eyes instantly cool down, a stormy aura of thunder emanates from him, fiercely pressing towards Fire Phoenix.
Yun Tao on the grounds of being from the same academy merely gave verbal warnings, while Yan Hu harbors no such qualms, if anyone attempts to harm Jiang Chen, he would definitely confront them relentlessly!
"Misunderstanding, I was just casually asking!"
Feeling a hint of killing intent in Yan Hu’s aura, Fire Phoenix hurriedly explains.
"Fire Phoenix, indeed that question should not be asked!"
Lei Kai steps aside, shielding Fire Phoenix from Yan Hu’s pressure, yet turns around and admonishes Fire Phoenix.
The number of acupoints a cultivator has opened is related to the quantity of spiritual power, the potency of combat skills, and potential combat strength. This is a cultivator’s most secretive private matter, similar to the Great Dao Wheels within the Sea of Consciousness, not something for casual probing. Fire Phoenix’s comment was indeed over the line.
Yan Hu narrows his eyes, a flash of thunder in them, a cold glint bursts forth, he moves with intent to charge.
"Stop!"
A low voice echoes, a mighty momentum suppresses the whole Spiritual Spring, Wu Zhengfeng’s figure appears above the spring.
He looks at Yan Hu’s fierce expression, then at Lei Kai and Fire Phoenix standing opposite, Wu Zhengfeng’s face fills with astonishment, these three people...aren’t...
"What’s your situation?"
Wu Zhengfeng asks with confusion.
Everyone sees Yan Hu’s respect for Jiang Chen, Jiang Chen is Changlin Academy’s great meritorious contributer, Lei Kai and Fire Phoenix are the strongest in cultivation amongst those from Changlin Academy here, they can be considered leaders. Now these three clashing is truly curious to Wu Zhengfeng.
"Senior Wu, a misunderstanding!"
Lei Kai cups his fists towards Wu Zhengfeng, turns to Yan Hu, lightly smiling: "Brother Yan Hu, Fire Phoenix speaks bluntly, misspoke, please bear with it!"
"Anyone aiming to harm the Young Master, must die!"
Yan Hu coldly looks at Fire Phoenix behind Lei Kai, the killing intent in his eyes gradually reveals.
