Sikong Jing frowned deeply at this.
Weng Ting had explained it as well: upon first entering the Spirit-Seizing Battlefield, it would be like the Spirit Shadow Formation. At first, they would encounter Spirit Battle Realm spirit shadows, and the deeper they went, the stronger the spirit shadows they encountered would become.
The Elder Family's young people could likewise gradually adapt as the spirit shadows grew stronger, constantly improving themselves in the process.
