"Amazing indeed …"
Chen Hao's eyes flickered with a trace of excitement as he gazed at the almost material waterfall of Origin Energy that appeared above their heads, and he thought to himself.
"Xianghao, Xiaofei, let's split up and go in. Once we step into the core area, the essence energy and icy air will automatically pour into our bodies. Remember, when you reach the limit of your endurance, rush out of the core area immediately. Don't force yourself … "Xiao Jishan emphasized again.
"En!" Chen Hao and Xiao Jifei responded. Immediately, the three of them split up and stepped into the core area of the Yuan Ling Cave one after the other!
"Hiss, hiss, hiss …"
The moment the three of them stepped into the core area, the thick essence energy and icy air seemed to come alive, automatically gathering above the three of them and pouring into their heads!
In an instant, it made the three of them freeze a little. Without the slightest hesitation, the three of them directly sat cross-legged and began to cultivate.
…
"Hiss, hiss …"
Chen Hao activated the fourth level of the Secret to Longevity that he had just broken through, swallowing and spitting out the vigorous essence energy that poured in from the top of his head. It circulated along the fourth level of the mantra's specific meridians and transformed into his own essence energy bit by bit.
"No wonder Head Instructor and Jishan let me seize this opportunity … this Yuan Ling Cave is actually so powerful!"
Just after cultivating for a while, Chen Hao shockingly discovered that as essence energy poured in, he could clearly feel his essence energy becoming a little more vigorous every time it circulated along the meridians.
Similarly, Chen Hao also truly understood why cultivators could not persist for long in the Yuan Ling Cave.
That icy air, even with Chen Hao's physical body, he felt a bone-deep chill as if every cell in his body was about to be frozen. Moreover, as time passed, the icy air that poured into his body became stronger and stronger.
Chen Hao was clear that when he could not withstand this icy air purely by relying on his physical body, he had to divide his attention to expend essence energy to resist the icy air while cultivating. When he could no longer withstand it, that was the time he walked out of the Yuan Ling Cave.
Xiao Ding had already explained this very clearly the day before entering the cave.
…
As time passed, the entire Yuan Ling Cave was silent. Only ten figures were sitting cross-legged in the core area of the cave, seizing every second to cultivate.
Two days passed in the blink of an eye.
…
At the peak of Heavens Road, Xiao Ding and the rest sat cross-legged on a high platform.
At the beginning of the third day, the huge Martial Arts Practice Field at the peak of the mountain was already crowded with people. Some of the Xiao Clan disciples had already rushed over to watch the show. They were all discussing and guessing who would be the last to come out.
Without a doubt, the rank five Martial Master Xiao Jihan had the most support. After all, Chen Hao was only a grade one Martial Master. Although most people believed that Chen Hao's cultivation talent was stronger than Xiao Jihan's, the gap between the two of them was still too large.
…
"Hiss …"
In the Yuan Ling Cave, Xiao Jihan, Xiao Jishan, and the rest who were gritting their teeth and persisting in their cultivation had already cultivated for two whole days. Their physical bodies were already unable to withstand the increasingly terrifying icy air. At this moment, they were all resisting the icy air while cultivating, enduring the extreme pain. However, at this moment, a violent fluctuation suddenly came from a direction. Almost instantly, even a portion of the essence energy and icy air around them seemed to have been sucked away.
Xiao Jihan, Xiao Jishan, and the rest immediately opened their eyes in shock and looked in the direction of the fluctuation!
Chen Hao!
What shocked them was that the one who caused the huge fluctuation was actually Chen Hao!
At this moment, Chen Hao was crazily devouring the essence energy around him as if he did not care about his life. What was even more shocking was that his body seemed to have condensed into ice crystals. His face, hands, neck, and all the parts that were exposed to the outside were sparkling with an ice-crystal-like glow …
Xiao Jihan, Xiao Jishan, and the rest all widened their eyes. They simply could not believe what they were seeing!
How was this possible?
It was obvious that the icy air in Chen Hao's body was extremely dense. From the looks of it, he should have already been frozen into a popsicle. However, the violent fluctuation of essence energy and the crazy devouring made everyone present understand that Chen Hao was still cultivating and was still conscious!
"Break!"
Under the dumbfounded gazes of Xiao Jihan and the rest, a deep and clear shout suddenly came from Chen Hao's mouth. At the same time, a majestic fluctuation of essence energy suddenly emitted from his body …
"Kacha … Kacha …"
The subtle sound of ice crystals shattering could be heard from Chen Hao's body. At the same time, a faint red protective qi slowly condensed around Chen Hao's body. The color of the protective qi was constantly deepening …
After a few breaths of time, it finally stopped changing!
The dazzling light red protective energy exuded a powerful and majestic pressure!
Grade two Martial Master!
Without a doubt, Chen Hao had already stepped into Grade two Martial Master!
"Amazing …"
Xiao Jishan muttered with a trace of astonishment.
The gazes of Xiao Jifei, Xiao Shiqing, and the rest also became abnormally hot!
Grade two Martial Master. Chen Hao had actually broken through so easily …
What kind of talent was this?
What kind of comprehension was this?
It had to be known that it had only been three days since Chen Hao had advanced to Grade one Martial Master …
Chen Hao did not seem to feel the astonishment of the crowd. After breaking through to Grade two Martial Master, his protective qi directly entered his dantian. Without any hesitation, he once again entered a meditative state like an old monk and entered a state of cultivation.
… …
Xiao Jihan gritted his teeth as he forcefully suppressed the shock in his heart. In half a year, Chen Hao had broken through from a grade seven Martial Warrior to a grade five Martial Master. With such talent, even when he saw Chen Hao break through to a grade one Martial Master, he did not think that he was inferior to Chen Hao. After all, the barrier after stepping into the Martial Master realm was the true test of one's comprehension. But now, although Xiao Jihan did not want to admit it, he had no choice but to admit that Chen Hao's talent and comprehension had definitely surpassed his.
"I will definitely not lose to him. Definitely not!" Xiao Jihan roared in his heart. His mind instantly entered a state of emptiness as he completely immersed himself in cultivation!
It had to be said that Xiao Jihan's cultivation talent was quite astonishing. In just an instant, he had completely cast aside all distracting thoughts. An ordinary person would definitely not be able to do this …
When Xiao Jishan and the rest saw this, they gritted their teeth and once again immersed themselves in cultivation, unwilling to admit defeat …
However, they were not Chen Hao. No matter how unwilling they were to admit defeat, no matter how hard they tried, they would eventually reach their limits …
After only four hours, the two people ranked at the bottom of the Shi generation could no longer resist the invasion of the icy Qi. They dragged their stiff bodies and with great difficulty, mustered the last of their strength and relied on their willpower to walk out of the core area step by step.
The moment they stepped out of the core area, the two of them were enveloped by a mysterious, terrifying, and irresistible force and were directly pushed toward the entrance of the Elemental Spirit Cave.
… …
On the third day, Xiao Shiqing was eliminated!
On the fourth day, the three grade three Martial Masters of the Shi generation and Xiao Jishan were eliminated one after another!
Out of the ten disciples, only Xiao Jihan, Chen Hao, and Xiao Jifei were left!
Xiao Jihan and Chen Hao were within everyone's expectations, but Xiao Jifei exceeded everyone's expectations and caused quite a stir!
… …
As time passed, the number of people in the Martial Arts Practice Field on the peak of the Heavenly Road did not decrease at all. Instead, it increased. There was no doubt that the further it went, the more curious and attentive everyone became.
On the fifth day, the Martial Arts Practice Field was densely packed with people. Xiao Jishan and a few other disciples who had already come out sat cross-legged on the edge of the high platform, paying attention to the changes at the entrance of the Elemental Spirit Cave. The others were fine, but Xiao Jishan's brows were deeply furrowed, and there was a trace of worry in his expression.
Others might not know why Xiao Jifei was able to last until now, but he, who knew Xiao Jifei the best, knew that he was relying on his obsession to support himself. He had cautiously reminded him twice, but in the end, he was still unable to stop Xiao Jifei's madness …
… …
"It's been five and a half days. It's within my expectations that Jihan and Xianghao could do it, but I didn't expect Xiao Jifei to be able to last so long.
It's really unexpected … "Xiao Ding said softly with a gratified look on his face.
"In the first year that Xiao Jifei entered the Xiao family, he was originally the number one genius of the Ji generation! Unfortunately, his meridians were severely damaged by Xiao Jihan, and his cultivation did not improve for more than a year … Hehe, Xiao Xianghao is another disciple with even higher talent. Unfortunately, his ending is probably even worse than Xiao Jifei's … "Second Elder Xiao Gang, who was also Xiao Jishan's father, suddenly looked at Sixth Elder and said meaningfully.
If not for the help of the father and son duo, Xiao Jifei would have been crippled long ago. The matter was already in the past, and there was no need for him to mention it. However, since his eldest brother, Xiao Ding, had mentioned it, coupled with the matter of Xiao Jihan and Xiao Xianghao, he could not help but mention it.
"Xiao Gang, what do you mean?" Sixth Elder immediately said unhappily.
"Why do you need to ask me? You should know better than anyone else … "
"You …"
"Enough!" Seeing that the two of them were about to argue, Xiao Ding waved his hand and interrupted that person. He said in a deep voice, "The matter is already in the past, what's the point of arguing? As long as it doesn't violate the Xiao family's rules, I can turn a blind eye! This is only the Xiao family, and the growth of a cultivator is filled with thorns and cruelty. This is also the reason why our Xiao family does not prohibit disciples from challenging each other. Adversity is the most important factor in tempering a cultivator's character! Isn't Xiao Jifei better now? But … "
Xiao Ding paused for a moment and glanced at the Sixth Elder, "There's a limit to everything. Sixth Elder, what do you say? "
Although Xiao Ding did not say it clearly, anyone could tell that he was warning him.
Xiao Bo's face flushed red, but seeing Xiao Ding's calm and composed gaze, he could only suppress the dissatisfaction in his heart and said, "Patriarch is right!"
"That's good … Hmm?" Xiao Ding's expression suddenly changed. "Someone is coming out!"
