Invincible Martial King

0After Li Shaojie and Wang Yangming left, the surrounding students also curiously looked at the direction where Lu Chen disappeared to. After waiting for a full hour and seeing that there were no movements in the room, they all shook their heads.    0

    

Although they were all students of the academy, breaking into the Soul Spring s' place was fraught with danger, and even if they wanted to help, they would not be able to.    

    

Two hours.    

    

Four hours.    

    

Six hours.    

    

… ….    

    

After a full eight hours, there was still no trace of Lu Chen. Even Yu Hao, Lu Qiaoer, and the others who were observing Lu Chen outside the formation, had disappeared without a trace.    

    

"Teacher Yu, will Lu Chen be alright?" Lu Qiaoer frowned and couldn't help but look at Yu Hao.    

    

"Before he entered the array, I left a mark on his body. If it was life-threatening, the mark would have been triggered. Now, Lu Chen should still be safe and sound."    

    

Yu Hao paused for a second and continued, "However, what did this kid do in there? Why did it take so long? "    

    

Although Yu Hao looked calm and collected, he was actually not calm at all. Although he had already heard of Lu Chen's achievements, after interacting with him, he felt that the latter had good aptitude. However, the moment Lu Chen entered the inner parts of the Soul Spring, the shock he felt was too intense.    

    

In these past hundred years, the number of people who had dared to enter the deepest region of the Dagan Academic Palace could be counted on one's fingers. Even if nothing else, even the dense mass of high quality spirit plants inside had formed a certain awareness and offensive power.    

    

Even if ordinary students wanted to pick spiritual herbs of high quality, they would only dare to linger around. In the last hundred years, this was the second person who dared to venture in bravely.    

    

Furthermore, Lu Chen was only a new student in the [Innate] Martial Master Stage. If this news were to spread, it would be absolutely shocking.    

    

"What kind of person is this Lu Chen? Could it be that our East Branch has really become a true demon-level character this time? " Yu Hao had a complex expression as he muttered to himself.    

    

According to logic, if Lu Chen wanted to enter the Soul Spring as a new student, it was only right for him to stop him as a teacher. But Lu Chen decided on his will, and the most important thing was that he also wanted to see what Lu Chen was truly capable of, but he did not expect the former to give him such a huge surprise.    

    

It had to be known that even for students at the sixth heaven of the martial way, many would find it difficult to pass through the Stainless Passage, and as for the Soul Spring area behind the Stainless Passage, it was similarly difficult for a portion of the students with Seventh Layer Of Sect Master s. And the deepest part of the Soul Spring Lu Chen was in, unless it was a student with a profound strength at the pinnacle of the martial way, it would be very difficult for ordinary students to even to approach it, let alone pick top grade spirit grass.    

    

Although he was shocked, Yu Hao, as a teacher in the Dagan Academic Palace, had experienced all sorts of hardships, so he still maintained a relatively calm state of mind.    

    

But deep down in his heart, he had a faint sense of anticipation towards Lu Chen. He didn't know why, but he always felt that Lu Chen would bring him or the entire East District a huge surprise.    

    

In the deepest part of the Soul Spring, there was a person sitting cross-legged like a statue. Originally, the densely packed spirit grass area had an empty space with him as the center.    

    

Lu Chen closed his eyes tightly. After a few hours of hard work, the Refining Liquid was successfully refined. He was now at a critical juncture, and his body was currently at the peak of mid tier magical equipment. If he wanted to successfully absorb the Refining Liquid, he would have to go through a certain amount of time.    

    

The process was not only long but also the most painful.    

    

In the flesh that was difficult to see with the naked eye, wisps of Refining Liquid s slowly seeped out of his body through his pores, continuously helping the smallest particles in the flesh to increase their strength.    

    

It was a huge test for his body and mind at the same time. There was bone-deep pain coming from almost every part of his body. If it was an ordinary person, they would have probably lost all sense of reason under such high intensity and continuous pain.    

    

However, Lu Chen was someone who had experienced everything, and this pain didn't have much of an impact on him. In his previous life, he had experienced many battles that were several times, or even dozens of times, more intense and painful.    

    

"Beep beep....."    

    

Beads of sweat the size of beans slid down Lu Chen's face, bringing a faint color, making his originally pale face turn even paler. This was not an ordinary environment, at the same time Lu Chen was in pain, he needed to distract himself to resist the constant pressure.    

    

This was considered to be the deepest part of the Soul Spring and its pressure was only second to the bottom of the Soul Spring. Because of this external force, the time that the refinement had to take effect was greatly delayed.    

    

"We can't continue delaying like this. We have to think of a way."    

    

Lu Chen slightly frowned. After pondering for a moment, he made a bold decision.    

    

This formless pressure could be a form of resistance, but under another condition, it would also be a type of assistance. Currently, he was using the power of devouring to resist, because this would cause his body to absorb Refining Liquid extremely slowly. However, if he retracted the devouring power and borrowed this pressure to help him absorb the Refining Liquid, it might be a good method.    

    

This was a bold and dangerous decision, but with Lu Chen's current scope of vision, he was confident that he could succeed if he thought about it. Thus, he decided to give it a try without any hesitation.    

    

"Crack!"    

    

The moment the Devouring Power was withdrawn, his body made a sound as if it was about to be crushed. Fresh blood even seeped out from his pores. This blood was a dark red color, and it seemed more like some sort of dregs. Soon, blood soaked his entire body, making him look like a man made of blood.    

    

Boom!    

    

Suddenly, a formless energy burst out from the depths of Lu Chen's blood and flesh. It was a fast but direct process of the cultivator's damaged flesh and bones. At the critical moment, the Refining Liquid was absorbed by his body at a very obvious speed.    

    

The two different energies used the flesh as a battlefield, and the clash was the most obvious.    

    

Lu Chen's brows relaxed a little. His adventure was indeed correct, his body was now like a piece of hot iron while the pressure from the outside was like a hammer. The continuous hammering of the hot iron made his tough flesh and bones even stronger, while some impurities were slowly seeping out from his pores due to the pressure.
