Unlike martial cultivation, Psionic Magician's improvement speed was rather slow. Furthermore, there were very few ways to strengthen one's mental strength. The most common way was to borrow heaven and earth treasures.
The Beautiful Dragon's Saliva that Qiao Feiyan had given to Han Chen back then in Merlin City had not been completely absorbed, and was fusing into her sea of consciousness to gradually increase his mental strength. If she were to absorb all four drops of the Beautiful Dragon's Saliva, breaking through to the intermediate stage would not be difficult at all.
While Han Chen channeled his mental energy to cultivate, he released his innate divine ability to devour the surrounding spirit energy. He was probably the only one who could multitask.
Long before he had returned to the Mystical Peak, Han Chen had already felt signs of breaking through the first level of mastery. Now that there was time and place, he hoped to take this step.
"Hah!" Right at this moment, a loud shout filled with malicious intent exploded beside Han Chen's ears. His head buzzed, his Qi becoming disorderly, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.
Chapter 166 - The Second Elder's Personal Disciple
The sudden turn of events set Han Chen's heart on fire, and he who was in cultivation by the side could not help but be alarmed. His beautiful eyes opened, only to see Han Chen holding onto his chest with one hand, with blood trickling down the corner of his mouth, and a pool of blood on the ground beside his.
It was very obvious that this was done only against Han Chen.
"Brat, this sixth floor is alslace that you can enter?" Hurry up and get out of here. "
Han Chen raised his head, and saw three or four figures slowly walking down the stairs. The one in the lead waandsome young man witeasing expression on his face. As for the person who spoke, he was a skinny man with small eyes and was wearing green clothes.
"You Zhong?" Ruo Ying frowned, a look of disgust flashing past her eyes.
A few people slowly walked over, and the leading man first looked deeply at Ruo Ying, then pointed at Han Chen, and said with a look of contempt, "Kid, stay away from her. Don't sit so close next time, okay? "
"Heh, Senior Brother You Zhong, why are you wasting your breath on him?" The man with small eyes laughed strangely and said disdainfully, "Why not just kick him out? Tell him not to come to the sixth floor again."
"You Zhong, Fei Mu, what is the meaning of this?" Ruo Ying stood up, her beautiful eyes were wide open as she said, "Don't you know that it is taboo for people to be disturbed while they are cultivating? Your actions just now almost took his life, don't you know? "
"Hehe, Ruo Ying, don't be angry!" You Zhong smiled fawningly, he glanced at Han Chen from the corner of his eyes, and answered: "Isn't he dead?"
Ruo Ying couldn't help but feel a little angry, her full chest was moving up and down, "You Zhong, don't think that just because you're the direct disciple of the Second Elder, you can do whatever you want. If you have nothing better to do, then just go and spar with Li Xiuwen, don't come running in front of me all day and dazzle your eyes. "
"You?"
You Zhong frowned, he was about to retort. Fei Xuan, who was at the side, quickly stopped her and laughed as he spoke to Ruo Ying, "Senior Sister Ruo Ying, you can't say things like that. Isn't the reason Senior Brother You Zhong did all this for you? " With that, he turned to Han Chen and bellowed, "Brat, what are you still doing here? Still not getting out? "
Han Chen's face revealed a cold smile, and he slowly stood up from the ground. He wiped off the blood from the corner of his mouth, and a cold light flashed in his eyes. "Who was it that interrupted my practice just now?"
The clear words were as sharp as bayonets, causing everyone to be startled. All eyes were focused on the other party.
After a moment of shock, Fei Meng shouted, "What did you just say?"
Han Chen's expression was calm, his pitch-black pupils remained unperturbed, "Who was the one who interrupted my cultivation just now?"
Whoa! They couldn't help but be astonished. Were they tired of living? Even Ruo Ying's face revealed a look of surprise. Could it be that the other party didn't know that these people in front of him were all the direct disciples of the Second Elder?
You Zhong's expression immediately darkened as he stared coldly at Han Chen, "Kid, you don't seem to have figured out the situation. I'll give you another chance, get out of here right now."
"Hey, what if I say no?" Han Chen chuckled, and looked at her without fear.
Without waiting for You Zhong to make a move, Fei Ming who was at the side took a few steps forward, extended his right index finger and pointed at Han Chen's nose and scolded, "Smelly brat, don't be so shameless. Our Senior Brother You Zhong is already magnanimous enough.
After saying that, Han Chen's eyes flashed with a cold light, and everyone's intuition told them that there were countless hand shadows in front of them. In the next moment, kacha! The crisp sound of breaking bones stung their eardrums.
Fei Hao instantly felt an incomparable pain from his right index finger, and his eyes bulged out of his body, "Ah!" "Stinky brat, if you dare touch me, scram."
Fury angrily raised his palm to slap at Han Chen's face. The sharp wind from his palm caused the surrounding air to tremble uneasily. Han Chen's eyes congealed, and similarly, he raised his right palm, which flowed with a layer of white brilliance. At first glance, the light looked a little like a strange formation.
Bang! The two palms collided solidly, and chaotic martial energy spread out. Fei Xuan couldn't help but shake violently; his entire shoulder was trembling and going numb.
"You?"
"Hmph. A useless trash dares to makuckus here?" Han Chen released his hand, then raised his right leg and directly kicked his opponent's chest. Puchi!
Ka-cha! * Accompanied by the sound of his ribs breaking, his body was sent flying backwards under the astonished gazes of everyone present. Bang! He fell heavily to the ground, blood gushing out from his mouth.
You Zhong and the rest were all dumbstruck by the scene in front of them, their faces full of disbelief. Even Ruo Ying was so surprised that her small mouth slightly opened. There was a complicated look in her eyes.
Fei Ming struggled to move his body on the ground. That previously arrogant force had been replaced with great fear and hatred. He also had the strength of the first stage of the mastery, but compared to the last time he fought with Han Chen, he was much weaker.
And after Han Chen had comprehended the mysteries of the "Spirit Transformation Array", not only was his strength greatly increased, he was even more powerful. Adding on his opponent's carelessness, there was no pressure at all for him to easily obtain victory.
"Brat, who are you?" You Zhong's face was ashen, but he did not dare to underestimate Han Chen.
"Han Chen."
"You are Han Chen?" You Zhong and the others were all startled, they looked at each other, and could see the astonishment in each other's eyes. In the past few days, they had heard quite a bit about Han Chen.
Fei Ming, who had already sat up on the ground, couldn't help but have a change in expression as he regretted his decision in his heart. Han Chen's strength was something that even Deng Ling could fight with, but this time, he had really kicked his luck.
Amidst his surprise, You Zhong's expression became even uglier, and a tyrannical Qi exploded out from his body. The two people beside him knew what was going to happen next, so they subconsciously retreated.
Han Chen's expression couldn't help but change, "Second level of the mastery?"
"Hmph. Brat, I'll tell you this. You've offended the wrong person today." You Zhong's figure flashed and appeared in front of the other party, one hand turning into a claw that grabbed towards Han Chen's neck.
Han Chen frowned, he did not dare be careless, channeling his martial spirit energy, he reached out and slapped the other party's wrist. But You Zhong's movements were abnormally agile, his arm bent downwards, and directly
dodged Han Chen's palm wind, and then his attack went straight for his chest.
Swoosh! Without waiting for You Zhong's attack to hit the target, Han Chen's footsteps changed, and he instantly left his original position, dodging to the side.
"Hmph, I'd like to see where you can hide!" You Zhong taunted her in disdain, then released an even stronger imposing manner, and rushed towards Han Chen to launch an even more powerful attack.
In the blink of an eye, the Spirit Gathering Tower's sixth floor became a battleground. However, with the exception of Han Chen, the only people who were able to reach here were the direct disciples of the elders, so there were only a few people spectating.
Ruo Ying's beautiful eyes contained a hint of faint anxiety, even she herself could not explain why she was feeling so anxious. Maybe it was because she loathed You Zhong, she hoped that Han Chen would be fine, but it was obviously impossible. The difference between the second level of the mastery and the ninth level of the Refinement Realm was not something that could be easily filled up so easily. Furthermore, Han Chen still had injuries on his body.
Fei Meng had already been helped to his feet by his companions. His face was filled with resentment as he stared at the fierce battle in front of him. He cursed in his heart, "You damned brat, let's see what else you can do."
Bang! Han Chen received the palm from You Zhong in a direct confrontation. The difference in strength made his arm go numb, and the chaotic aura caused the injuries in his body to be affected. He could not help but feel his blood rushing up and his face turn red.
"Han Chen, don't think that just because you can be on par with Deng Ling that you can become so arrogant." You Zhong's eyes flashed witroud look, and said with disdain.
Han Chen replied without hesitation, "How funny, I wonder which shameless person used this move while I was cultivating."
"Shut up." You Zhong was almost angered to the point that his eyes burned with fire. Condensing his palm, violent energy fluctuations quietly spread out. Fall down for me! "King Kong Palm."
Buzz! Buzz! A slight disturbance could be heard in the air as a giant golden palm separated from You Zhong's palm and struck towards Han Chen with a fierce momentum.
"Star Attraction Palm!" Han Chen secretly shouted as he quietly activated his devouring ability. Similarly, a gigantic palm broke out from his body, but the color of Han Chen's gigantic palm was black.
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM! The two palms collided firmly with the ground, and the violent energy waves caused the Spiritual Energy in the air to churn up and down. The power of You Zhong's King Kong Palm was not to be underestimated, whether it was in terms of aura or strength.
Bang! With a muffled sound, the golden palm power broke through the huge black palm. However, the Star Attraction Palm was infused with the Devouring Force, so the power of the King Kong Palm was greatly reduced.
Just as Han Chen was about to circulate his energy to stop the remaining power, he felt an intense pain in his chest and a mouthful of salty taste welled up from his throat.
Not far away, Ruo Ying could tell that Han Chen's situation was bad. BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM! The remnants of the Vajra Palm shattered into pieces when they were less than half a meter away from Han Chen.
"Enough, all of you stop." Ruo Ying shouted coldly.
Han Chen heaved a sigh of relief and looked towards Ruo Ying with a grateful gaze.
As for You Zhong, he did not budge an inch, and with a gloomy face, he said, "Ruo Ying, don't mind about my matters. Today, I will definitely teach this kid a lesson. "
"You Zhong, you are too right, do you know which clan elder is waiting for you at the Spirit Gathering Tower today?"
"Me?" You Zhong was surprised, he realised that he seemed to have forgotten something.
At this moment, a sharp aura swept out, accompanied by a dignified and furious voice, "Hmph, you guys have quite the guts to dare make a move in the Spirit Gathering Tower."
Chapter 167 - mastery
Everyone was shocked. In the next moment, they saw an old figure in his fifties or sixties appearing at the entrance of the building. The old man was slightly thin, and the skin on his face was slightly wrinkled. Judging from the aura he emitted, he was definitely an elder with considerable seniority.
Ruo Ying, You Zhong and the rest all had a change in expression, and they all bowed respectfully, "Greetings Fifth Elder."
Fifth Elder? Han Chen could not help but be startled, wasn't the one who wanted to accept Huayun City as his direct disciple the Fifth Elder?
"En!" Fifth Elder let out a light snort, raised her old eyes slightly, and her gaze landed on Han Chen, "You're the one that defeated Huayun City in one move?"
Han Chen was startled, could it be that the other party was going to add insult to injury? He nodded and cupped his hands together before replying in a low voice, "Yes, I am."
Then, his gaze swept across You Zhong and the rest. "You few clearly know that you are not allowed to take action in the Spirit Gathering Tower, but you still went against the rules. "He deserves to be punished, he really deserves to be punished."
"Fifth Elder." You Zhong hurriedly opened his mouth to explain, and said, "Fifth Elder, we did not make the first move." Pointing his finger at Han Chen, he said, "He first injured Fei Hao, and disciple took the initiative to teach him a lesson."
"Yes, Fifth Elder." The other two You Zhong companions voiced their agreement.
"Oh? "Is that so?"
"Heh." Han Chen chuckled, a few traces of sarcasm could be seen on his face, "Then Senior Brother You Zhong, why didn't you guys interrupt my cultivation while I was cultivating, causing me to be seriously injured first?"
"You?" You Zhong frowned, and was about to retort.
Fifth Elder shouted in a cold voice, "Enough, I can see what is happening here clearly." This Elder has not reached the point where my eyes are blurry and my vision is blurry. "
Hearing this, the atmosphere immediately became quiet. You Zhong lowered his head, looking unsatisfied. However, he didn't feel too conflicted. He thought that since he was the Second Elder's direct disciple, the Fifth Elder would not punish him severely no matter what.
"You Zhong, as the direct disciple of the Second Elder, you know it's illegal. I order you to bear the thirty strokes of the staff, and go to the Law Enforcement Hall tomorrow to receive your punishment. "
You Zhong frowned, although he was unhappy, but he nodded his head, "Yes, Fifth Clan Elder."
"Fei Hen, if you interrupt the training of others, I order you to bear the punishment of sixty staff strokes." When your injuries are healed, go to the Law Enforcement Hall and receive your punishment. "
"Yes, Fifth Elder." Fei Ming replied weakly in a low voice, his face turning into that of a bitter gourd.
"As for Han Chen." His lips moved slightly as he said in a flat voice, "Although you haveason to fight someone in the Spirit Gathering Tower, I will punish you by sending you to the inner wall of the Spirit Gathering Tower to think for seven days."
"Really?" So light? " You Zhong could not help but shout out.
"What is it? You think that this elder's punishment is unfair? "
"Me?" You Zhong's voice paused, upon contact with the sharp gaze of the other party, he could only swallow the words at the corner of his mouth. disciple has no objections. "
"That's for the best." The fifth elder glanced at him unhappily before performing several hand signs consecutively. A white circle of light suddenly appeared on the side near the wall. Han Chen, in these seven days, you are not allowed to leave the halo without permission. Otherwise, you will be severely punished. "
"Yes, Fifth Elder." Han Chen nodded, he knew that the other party had already given him the greatest amount of grace. One must know that the punishment at the Law Enforcement Hall was not something that could be defended against using raw power. Compared to You Zhong and Fei Hao, it was much lighter.
; Han Chen slowly walked towards the light circle. Suddenly, he seemed to have thought of something, he turned around and looked at the crowd, and in the end, his gaze landed on Ruo Ying. Senior Sister Ruo Ying, can you help the next one? "
"Hmm?" Ruo Ying could not help but be taken aback, her face revealed confusion, "Tell me."
"After you go out later, go find a girl called Ming Ruo. She's my younger sister. I'll have to trouble you to tell her that I am cultivating here and not to worry. "
Everyone knew about the name Ming Ruo. The news of the Fourth and Fifth Elders fighting each other wanting to take her as their direct disciple had long ago spread throughout the entire Mystical Peak.
Ruo Ying was startled for a moment, then nodded: "Okay, it just so happens that I want to see her too."
"Mm, thank you very much." Han Chen smiled in gratitude, and stepped into the light circle. When he put both feet into the ring, the scene in front of him changed dramatically. All he could see was the endless darkness. Other than that, there was nothing else.
Even the Fifth Elder, Ruo Ying and the others disappeared from her sight. Han Chen was secretly shocked. It seems like these seven days of reflection on the wall wasn't as simple as he had imagined.
On the other hand, the people outside the light circle could see Han Chen inside. However, seeing the confused look on the other party's face, everyone understood what was going on. It could be possible that the Fifth Elder had set up some sort of barrier there, causing the environment inside and outside to be mistaken.
"Alright, do what you need to do. Remember, if you like to fight, go to the Colosseum. " The Fifth Elder waved her sleeve and disappeared from the sixth floor.
You Zhong's heart could be said to be exceptionally aggrieved. He did not expect that if he did not reap any benefits, he would have to pay the fine of thirty canes. He fiercely glared at Han Chen who was within the halo of light, then silently turned around and left.
