'This Xuan Css trial is really something else; eveerrain is pletely different.'

  Xiao Yan stood on a lush green grassnd. Although the pin wasn't very rge, it was brimming with vitality, with green trees and riverbanks. If one didn't know better, one could mistake it for a vacation spot or a css 5A tourist attra.

  It was entirely different from the previous fighting ptforms, with the greatest difference being the surroundings of the grassnd.

  Void!

  Xiao Yan looked around. The edge of the grassnd pin didn't have any barrier prote; it looked more like a piepty space, somewhat simir to the os he knew. However, uhe total darkness of space, the surroundiy space was irely bck. Instead, it had a hint of ink green, with unknown dust and objects floating around.

  The entire world seemed somewhat dim, yet paradoxically, this grassnd pin seemed to emit its own light that illumihe area.

  "What exactly is this pce?" He walked to the edge of the grassnd pin and looked ily.

  In fact, this was a grassnd pin floating amid the empty space. Falling off would likely turo the floating remnants surrounding it.

  This was the first time Xiao Yan had seen such a pce. He couldn't help but be astonished by the grandeur of the se.

  "Hehe, as expected of a native from the outside world, not even knowing what the void is," a voice full of disdain and arroganeered from behind him.

  With his powerful Spiritual Strength, Xiao Yan naturally khat his oppo had already arrived.

  He turned around and saw a man about his age stepping out of the door. The man's eyebrows were filled with pride.

  "'Soul'? Are you from the Hall of Souls?" Xiao Yan noticed the man was wearing a training outfit embroidered with a silver-white character for "Soul," and guessed that this time's trial oppo might be a direct disciple of the Hall of Souls or the Hun .

  Xiao Yan also uood that the Huang Css Qi Methods and Dou Teiques were merely baits to attract on fodder, to lure them iing effort. Only those who reached the Xuan Css were sidered qualified personnel by the Hall of Souls and were eligible to enjoy its resources.

  And to reach the Xuan Css, one had to defeat a true member of the Hall of Souls.

  "Hmph, fighting with a native is just b. I, Hun Yu , will give you a ce to survive. If you give up all your soul points, kneel on the ground, and kowtow three times, I might let you leave this pce. Otherwise, you'll just bee another piece of trash floating in the void."

  "Heh heh heh, I've heard that falling into the void means dying slowly in pain and despair."

  Seeing the other party ag like a brain-dead jerk, Xiao Yan was too zy to engage in versation with such a person. Responding would only lower his own IQ.

  He simply took out the Heavy Xuan Ruler and smmed it into the ground with a loud bang. His gaze intensified, delivering his respohrough his eyes.

  If anyone had to be thrown into the void today, he believed it would be this Hun Yu .

  Hun Yu 's eyebrows furrowed slightly when he saw the suddenly calm young man. He sneered, "Even if you could fly, you won't be able to escape today."

  He took out a dark gold great sword from his ste ring. His figure quickly shot out as he violently stomped on the ground and savagely sshed at Xiao Yan.

  Xiao Yan's face grew solemn as he felt the sharp wind pressure ing his way. He immediately circuted Dou Qi throughout his body, tightly gripping the handle of the Heavy Xuan Ruler with his right hand and grabbing the middle se with his left to block the ssh.

  "Huh? You're just a Dou Practitioner?" This exge surprised Hun Yu a bit, as Xiao Yan's Dou Qi was clearly that of only an 8-star Dou Practitioner, yet he mao block his ssh.

  "Hmph, it seems you've trained your body well." Hun Yu drew his sword for arike, the great sword emitting a faint dark glow as he executed a Low Xuan Css sword teique.

  Xiao Yan used his excellent Spiritual Strength and dodging skills to slightly tilt his body and quickly retreat. He did not dare to ter this Xuan Css Dou Teique directly. Instead, he shifted his ter of gravity and used the heaviness of the Heavy Xuan Ruler to deflect the force of the powerful ssh.

  A long string of sparks shot out from Hun Yu 's great sword as it scraped across the Heavy Xuan Ruler. Even Xiao Yan's face was hit by these flying sparks.

  Boom!!! A long gash immediately appeared on the grassnd pihe sword hit the ground.

  From just this one ssh, Xiao Yan realized that Hun Yu 's cultivation of Dou Teiques was far superior to Lu Xing's. This Low Xuan Css sword teique had likely reached a major level of mastery.

  'He is a 6-star Dou Master like Lu Xing, but his Dou Teiques and Qi Methods are much more formidable!' Xiao Yan judged after their exge. The person before him was a 6-star Dou Master with powerful Qi Methods and Dou Teiques, far superior to those ier Academy of Jia Nan Academy, who only had their cultivation levels to show.

  Xiao Yan supported himself on one foot and used it as a pivot to spin 360 degrees as he viciously swung the Heavy Xuan Ruler in his hand. The veins on his hands bulged as the terrifyirifugal force added weight to the strike against Hun Yu .

  g! The bck ruler and the great sword collided, sending sparks flying and the clear sound of metal g eg slowly in the void.

  !!!!

  'Such a heavy on!'

  Hun Yu 's hands went numb, and he could barely hold onto his great sword as he forcefully stepped back. His steps left very deep footprints on the ground, showing the weight of Xiao Yan's Heavy Xuan Ruler.

  But Xiao Yan wasn't having an easy time either; his hands also became somewhat numb. Hun Yu 's strength was eveer than Lu Xing's when he used the Dou Qi cloak.

  Hun Yu released bursts of powerful invisible energy with a buzzing sound. This e of attribute-less Dou Qi and the first time Xiao Yan had entered such a peculiar Dou Qi. If he had to describe it, it was like a yer of soul body ed around one's entire body.

  It was actually a cloak posed of both Spiritual Strength and Dou Qi!

  This type of Dou Qi soul cloak was strohan the ordinary Dou Qi cloak, as it reater strength and enhanced perception!

  Xiao Yan's mind tensed as he watched Hun Yu dehis special cloak. Streams of Dou Qi began to flow out from his Qi cye and surged through his body, providing him with the necessary strength for battle.

  "Ha ha ha ha, you indeed have some skills. No wonder you dared to choose the Soul Path trial challenge. You should be proud of yourself for f me to use my Dou Qi cloak!"

  Xiao Yan's brow furrowed as he vaguely felt he had likely suffered a loss due to his ignorance. Had he unknowingly chosen the hell difficulty mode?

  "Heh heh, take my strike! Soul Shaking Ssh!" Hun Yu leaped high into the air, his right hand gripping the great sword. Xiao Yan wasn't sure if it was an illusion, but for a moment, he thought he saw a human face emerge on the bde!

  The bde sang and ghosts wailed as Hun Yu unleashed a downward ssh. There was even a burst of spiritual ripples beh this ssh, as if it could sy gods and ghosts alike.

  Xiao Yan quickly steadied himself, using the Heavy Xuan Ruler to defend against the ssh.

  Sparks flew as the ssh nded. Amidst the g sound of heavy ons colliding, a powerful force created a half-meter-wide crater where Xiao Yan stood, causing his feet to sink into the ground.

  Hun Yu sneered, "You think you block a High Xuan Css Dou Teique?"

  Suddenly, a spiritual shockwave bsted through the Heavy Xuan Ruler, striking Xiao Yan's mind and causing him to spurt a mouthful of blood onto the ruler. Uedly, this Soul Shaking Ssh had a sed yer of attack, and it was still a spiritual attack that could not be defended against!
