Because Nangong Ke from the Nangong Family had a bye, there were only seven groups of contestants in this round.
And now, the people who had advanced to the top 8 were Nangong Jue and Nangong Ke from the Nangong Family, Jiang Haoran from the Jiang Family, Guan Zhixin from the Ji Family and Wu Chenggang from the Situ Family.
In other words, there were still three matches on the stage that had yet to be decided.
These four matches were Ji Tian against Situ Yongcai on the first stage.
Chen Hongyuan against Jiang Yunheng on the third stage.
Chen Hongxing against Situ Yongwen on the fourth stage.
Among the remaining families, only the Chen family had yet to have anyone advance to the next level. Both of the Chen Family's members were still on the stage. However, from what everyone could see, the Chen Family would at most have one person advance.
Because Chen Hongxing was gradually losing to Situ Yongwen. Furthermore, after persisting for so long, he had already consumed a lot of his energy.
However, every time Chen Hongxing thought about how his younger brother was in the third arena and hadn't been defeated yet, his heart would feel especially unreconciled.
He wasn't competing with anyone but his younger brother, Chen Hongyuan. As the young master of the Chen Family, he couldn't lose. At least, he couldn't lose before Chen Hongyuan lost.
It was precisely because of this that although he knew that there was a gap between him and Situ Yongwen, he still refused to admit defeat.
Now, the Chen Family was only left with him and his younger brother. If he were to lose, it would be equivalent to him losing to his younger brother. This was something he couldn't accept.
Therefore, even if his current condition wasn't good, he still had to persist. He absolutely couldn't lose before Chen Hongyuan.
As for Chen Hongyuan! Although he had some advantages, Jiang Yunheng's strength was indeed extraordinary. He wanted to defeat this guy but was unable to succeed.
Therefore, this battle was dragged on. After dragging until now, both of them had consumed a lot of energy. Furthermore, because the time was too long, he had already given up on speed because the energy consumption was too high. Such a high speed consumption was something he couldn't bear.
Now that a few of the families had already advanced, even the Jiang Family had someone advance, his heart was truly unwilling. He came here for the top 3. Previously, in order to break through to the Late Stage of Great Ascension Realm, Cheng Yu and the others had really sacrificed their lives for him.
He had also promised Cheng Yu and the others that he would definitely get into the top three and bring them into the Death Region to have a look. But now, the Chen Family's situation wasn't good. If they didn't handle it well, they might stop here. He was getting more and more anxious.
He did not want to break his promise to Cheng Yu. If he couldn't even do this, then he would really be letting down Cheng Yu and the others.
He could not let Cheng Yu's efforts go to waste. No matter what, he had to persevere. At the very least, he could not lose to Jiang Yunheng.
As long as he entered the top eight, he would be able to enter the top four through another victory. If he made it to the top four, he would have a 75% chance of getting into the top three.
Therefore, he was already very close to the top three. As long as he took a few more steps forward, he would be able to secure a spot in the top three.
Roar!
Chen Hongyuan's eyes turned red. Suddenly, a sparkling and translucent pearl flew out from his chest and floated in front of his chest.
"What's that? Could it be Chen Hongyuan's magic treasure? "
"It doesn't look like a magic treasure?"
"That should be a soul pearl!"
"Soul pearl? What's that? "
"I heard that the Chen Family's soul refiners all have a soul pearl. If I'm not wrong, this should be the soul pearl that only the Chen Family's soul refiners have!"
When everyone saw Chen Hongyuan suddenly releasing the soul pearl, they immediately became very curious.
The soul pearl was the most important thing for a soul refiner. The soul refiner absorbed the soul through the soul pearl. Without the soul pearl, even if the soul refiner could absorb the soul, they would only be able to absorb a very small portion. If they wanted to use it to cultivate, it would be almost impossible.
And the reason why the Chen Family's soul refiners could absorb the souls of ghosts and other soul bodies to increase their cultivation so quickly was because they had the soul pearl.
However, everyone was very curious. Since the soul pearl was an item for their cultivation, why did Chen Hongyuan bring it out? This thing didn't seem to be a magic treasure.
"Could it be that … Yuan-er really succeeded in cultivating it?" However, different from others, Chen Tianxing was immediately excited and puzzled when he saw his son's actions.
"Family Head, could it be that Yuan-er has already comprehended the Soul Refinement Art?" When the elders saw this familiar scene, they couldn't help but become excited.
The Soul Refinement Art was an extremely high level dao technique of the Chen Family's soul refiners. To a soul refiner, the soul pearl was the place where the soul or primordial spirit resided.
Different from ordinary cultivators, the primordial spirit of other cultivators existed in the purple palace. However, they were different. Their primordial spirit existed in the soul pearl.
Therefore, they constantly nourished the soul pearl, which was actually nourishing their primordial spirit.
To ordinary cultivators, the primordial spirit possessed great power, but at the same time, it was also extremely fragile. It didn't have a strong defense like the physical body. Just a little damage could cause great damage to the primordial spirit.
Therefore, cultivators had to protect their primordial spirit from harm. Once the primordial spirit was injured, it would be very difficult to recover.
Moreover, the primordial spirit existed in the purple palace and wouldn't easily leave the physical body. Because it was too fragile, once it left the physical body, it would be destroyed very easily.
Therefore, when a cultivator's physical body was destroyed, the primordial spirit would escape. Once the primordial spirit was captured, it would really be destroyed.
However, the Chen Family's soul refiners had a special ability that was different from other cultivators. Their primordial spirit resided in their soul pearl.
With the soul pearl, the primordial spirit of a soul refiner wouldn't be as fragile as ordinary cultivators. Furthermore, even if their primordial spirit left the physical body, it could still be preserved very well because of the soul pearl's protection.
Although the soul pearl wasn't a magic treasure, it was very special. Ordinary attacks wouldn't be able to destroy it.
Therefore, with the protection of the soul pearl, the soul refiner's soul was very safe.
However, Chen Hongyuan suddenly released the soul pearl to let his primordial spirit escape.
Other than the place where the primordial spirit resided, the soul pearl also contained the soul that the soul refiner absorbed. Therefore, this soul pearl was also a place where the primordial spirit cultivated.
But now, Chen Hongyuan clearly didn't release it for the primordial spirit to cultivate. Under normal circumstances, the primordial spirit in the soul pearl couldn't fuse with all the souls.
