Chen Fan leaned close to the Maiden's ear and softly reassured her.
"All right, look how badly you scared him. Let's let this matter go."
Na'er finally let out a cold snort and withdrew her intimidating gaze.
After this round of detoxification, Chen Fan discovered an unexpected benefit.
The system's reward, Spirit Power Detoxification Knowledge, was vast and profound. It recorded far more than just methods of detoxification.
Detoxification and medicine-making were two sides of the same coin.
Since he had mastered pharmacology, he could naturally prepare some mild herbs to nourish the body.
Thus, he specially prepared a medicinal paste for Na'er.
He then contacted Aosile, who had previously sworn solemn oaths. Aosile could mobilize his family's resources to gather herbs, which made things much easier for Chen Fan.
In a few days, the medicinal paste Na'er needed would likely be ready.
Since Na'er's condition could be stabilized, they could slowly wait for Dugu Bo.
The commotion here naturally reached the Crown Prince's Mansion.
After receiving the news, Xue Qinghe specifically came looking for him.
He looked at Chen Fan before him, his eyes filled with admiration and surprise.
"Brother Chen Fan, I truly underestimated you."
"I thought you only excelled in strategy. I never expected your detoxification skills and your strength to be so outstanding as well. You really have been hiding your talents."
Normally, if an outsider spoke to Chen Fan so intimately, Na'er would have already moved close to him warily.
But this time, she merely glanced at "Xue Qinghe" before voluntarily shifting aside, leaving space for the two to talk.
After all, His Highness the Crown Prince was not a threat to her. Instead, he was an opportunity for Chen Fan.
Qian Renxue's heart stirred slightly.
She had originally come only to offer congratulations, but seeing Na'er being so "considerate" and getting "pushed" toward Chen Fan by the Maiden, she could no longer suppress her desire to spend more time with him.
She looked at Chen Fan, then changed the subject.
"Brother Chen Fan, when you fought Yu Tianheng yesterday, it seemed you did not use your full strength, did you?"
Chen Fan's heart stirred at those words, but he did not deny it.
Yu Tianheng truly had not been enough to force him to reveal his trump cards.
Seeing his tacit admission, the admiration in Qian Renxue's eyes deepened.
"How about we spar? Let me see your true strength."
She paused, and her tone took on the air of an older brother guiding a junior.
"I am a few years older than you, after all, and my Soul Power is much higher. This is a good chance for me to offer you some guidance."
Her words were impeccable. They gave Chen Fan an easy way out while satisfying the small desire in her heart to get closer to him.
Chen Fan raised his eyes and looked at "Xue Qinghe."
"All right."
Chen Fan nodded in agreement without hesitation.
"Your Highness, please."
The two found an open Training Ground.
Na'er stood quietly at the edge with her arms folded. Her beautiful Purple Eyes remained fixed on the two in the arena without blinking, her expression calm and unreadable.
The spar was on the verge of beginning.
There was no needless probing.
The moment Xue Qinghe finished speaking, Chen Fan stopped holding back!
"Candle Dragon Shadow!"
He gave a low shout.
The space behind Chen Fan suddenly twisted.
A vast and majestic phantom of a giant dragon, as though it had crossed over from the primordial ages, descended with a thunderous boom!
The dragon shadow was entirely crimson, its scales grim and imposing. As its eyes opened and closed, it seemed as though the Sun and Moon Rotate within them, and its majestic aura instantly enveloped the entire Training Ground.
Qian Renxue's pupils suddenly contracted!
Only by facing him herself could she feel it...
Chen Fan's Martial Soul was actually this domineering!
Before she could recover from her shock, Chen Fan had already turned into an afterimage and rushed toward her!
"First Soul Skill, Candle Flame Claw!"
The Thousand Year Soul Ring shone brilliantly.
A layer of crimson flames instantly ignited over Chen Fan's right claw, interspersed with faint glimmers of deep-blue cold light.
As he swung his claw, a piercing tearing sound rang through the air!
This claw carried the dual forces of scorching heat and Extreme Cold, along with a barely detectable effect that froze time. It struck directly at Xue Qinghe's vital point over her chest.
However, Qian Renxue was, after all, a Level Sixty Soul Emperor.
Faced with this sudden strike, she remained calm despite her surprise and merely raised her right hand leisurely.
Although the Six-winged Angel Martial Soul had not been released, the immense Soul Power belonging to a Soul Emperor surged from her body, forming an invisible golden barrier before her.
"Bang!"
The Candle Flame Claw slammed fiercely against the barrier.
Crimson and deep-blue light exploded, and violent energy scattered in every direction.
The golden barrier before her merely trembled slightly before completely dissolving the attack's power.
When his strike failed, Chen Fan immediately pulled back and widened the distance between them.
He knew very well that ordinary attacks could never work against such an overwhelming difference in Soul Power.
"What a strange Soul Skill."
Xue Qinghe looked at the faint layer of frost left on the barrier before her, inwardly impressed.
For that instant, she had indeed felt the circulation of her Soul Power seem to freeze for a moment.
Though it had lasted only an insignificant instant, against an opponent of the same level, it would have been enough to kill!
"Again!"
Qian Renxue gave a light shout and took the initiative to attack.
Her movements were graceful and agile.
Chen Fan did not dare be careless and pushed his Spiritual Power to its limit.
"Insight!"
An invisible Spiritual Domain silently unfolded around him.
Within the domain, every movement Xue Qinghe made and every circulation of her Soul Power was clearly reflected in his mind.
At the same time, an illusory Candle Dragon Eye condensed above Xue Qinghe's head and began continuously drawing away her Soul Power.
"Hm?"
Xue Qinghe immediately noticed the subtle loss of Soul Power, as well as the sensation of being watched.
She was even more shocked.
A spiritual-attribute domain? And it could drain an opponent's Soul Power?
Just how many secrets was this Chen Fan hiding?
The two exchanged blows across the arena, their figures intertwining as the sounds of colliding Soul Power rang out without end.
Relying on Insight's predictive ability and the bizarre Power of Cold and Heat within the Candle Flame Claw, Chen Fan actually held his own against Xue Qinghe for dozens of exchanges without falling behind in the slightest.
But that was only an illusion.
Chen Fan knew clearly that she had not used her Martial Soul at all, nor had she even unleashed a Soul Skill. She was merely competing with him using the purest form of Soul Power.
Meanwhile, his Soul Power was rapidly draining away.
If this continued, he would undoubtedly lose.
Looks like I can only use that move...
Chen Fan Took A Deep Breath, and his eyes suddenly became resolute.
The Soul Power within his body surged wildly without any reservation!
Xue Qinghe keenly sensed the change in his aura, and her expression turned serious as well.
She could feel a force stirring within Chen Fan that was enough to make even her heart pound in alarm.
It was coming!
The next moment.
Within Chen Fan's eyes, his left eye turned crimson-gold like the blazing sun, while his right eye became silver-white like a moon hanging in the sky.
"Silver Candle Domain!"
A chant that seemed to arise from the depths of his soul.
Buzz—!
The entire Training Ground suddenly trembled!
