After killing the porcupine herd, Chu Bai did not stay too long in the valley.

Although Qi Refining Second Layer's Spell Power was powerful, the continuous high-intensity fighting still made him feel a little tired.

In a dangerous place like Azure Prison Spirit Realm, maintaining peak condition is more important than anything else.

He unfolded the simple map in his hand and fixed his gaze on a mark named Sword-Washing Spring.

That is one of the few areas in the Spirit Realm marked with spiritual energy gathering points.

Resting in such a place will speed up your recovery several times.

Passing through several dense thorn forests, the water vapor in the air gradually became thicker.

Ahead, the sound of clear spring water reached my ears.

After pushing aside the last layer of broad leaves, Chu Bai's eyes lit up.

A clear spring flows out from the white jade-like cave and converges into a small pool.

There is a faint white mist above the spring water, which is a strange phenomenon caused by the strong spiritual energy.

However, just as Chu Bai was about to step forward, his figure suddenly stopped.

An indescribable chill ran down his spine and rushed straight to his forehead.

[Acquired Fate Pattern: Seven Killings in the Fate Palace]

The instinctive intuition it brought made Chu Bai react in an instant. Although the scene in front of him was relatively peaceful and there was no abnormality in his field of vision,...

Chu Bai's vision seemed to turn into black and white at that moment, and the surrounding plants and trees became eerily clear in his eyes.

This ultimate sense of calm told him: This Spirit Spring is too quiet.

There were no flying insects, no fallen leaves, and even the sound of the wind blowing through the treetops seemed deliberate.

Someone!

Chu Bai was shocked, but his face didn't show any signs of strangeness.

He pretended not to notice, still maintaining the original rhythm, walking towards the spring step by step.

The moment he was less than three feet away from the spring water, a shadow behind him came to life without warning.

A dark afterimage peeled off from the shadow on the ground, holding a transparent short blade in his hand, and silently wiped the back of Chu Bai's neck.

This technique is extremely sophisticated and hidden, making it difficult for ordinary monks to detect it.

However.

Chu Bai It was as if there were eyes on the back of his head. The moment the short blade touched his skin, his figure actually moved an inch to the right at an angle that went against common sense.

"I've been waiting for a long time."

Chu Bai's cold voice sounded.

The black shadow obviously didn't expect Chu Bai to be able to dodge this fatal blow, and his movements suddenly stagnated.

Chu Bai How could you miss this opportunity?

He didn't look back, and the [Formless Cloud Hand] in his right palm, which had been charged for a long time, shot backwards like thunder, but it didn't hit the person, but the air next to it.

"Boom!"

The violent palm force shattered the rocks not far away, sending smoke and dust everywhere.

With the force of this shock, the young man hiding in the shadows was forced to reveal his figure. He was wearing a tight black robe, with the word "First Class" embroidered on his chest, and his eyes were full of horror and confusion.

"How did you find me?" The young man steadied himself, the short blade in his hand flickering with light, "My "Shadow-Stealth Art" has never failed me."

Chu Bai slowly turned around, and Spirit Water Needle was already taking shape in his hand.

"Your murderous intent is too strong." Chu Bai looked at him indifferently.

This is the truth. Under the perception of [Seven Killings in the Fate Palace], any hostile fluctuations will be infinitely amplified.

The young man felt the heavy pressure on Chu Bai's body, and his expression changed again and again.

"Qi Refining Second Layer... are you that Class Three Chu Bai?"

He gritted his teeth, and his body became insubstantial again, trying to use speed to maneuver around, "Even if you are at a high level, you can't keep me in my domain!"

"Really?"

Chu Bai raised his right hand flat and his eyes were calm.

Three rapid tremors sounded at the same time.

Three Spirit Water Needle, which are crystal clear and have water swirling inside, are about to arrive in an instant.

They did not shoot at the boy's body, but at an extremely precise angle and in the shape of a cross, they were accurately nailed into the soil less than an inch in front of the boy's toes.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

With three muffled sounds, the force of the spiral shattered the black rock on the ground, and the splashed stone chips directly scratched several blood marks on the young man's legs.

What's even more terrifying is that the Spell Power shock caused by the three water needles directly tore the shadow escape around the boy's body, causing him to stagger out again.

The young man was completely stunned.

He looked at the three smoking holes at his feet, and cold sweat instantly soaked his back.

Proficient Level other Spell Arts?

Not just one!

The [Formless Cloud Hand] hit just now was so powerful and heavy that it was difficult for him to parry it, and now the power of Spirit Water Needle is also terrifying.

He knew very well that if the three needles just moved upward by just an inch, his feet would have turned into rotten flesh.

Although there is no death in the secret realm, if you are seriously injured, you will definitely be teleported out. After being eliminated, your injuries will need to be treated, which will delay your practice.

The young man knew in his heart that there was a level gap between the two sides. If the sneak attack was successful, there might be a chance, but if it was a head-on battle, he might not have the slightest chance of winning.

For the Dao Academy students at this stage, the Spell Arts level of most of them is still at the [Proficient] level.

If you can master two or three of them proficiently, you are considered good.

But the other party turned out to be two Proficient Level and another Spell Arts, and they seemed to have a back-up plan...

Chu Bai stood on the same spot without moving a step, and the index finger of his right hand pointed blankly again.

At that moment, the young man felt an aura from Chu Bai that made him shudder.

That's not the competition of ordinary students, it's the ferocity of those who have truly experienced life-and-death fights and dominating killings.

"Out, or fight again?"

Chu Bai's voice was so calm that there was no trace of fireworks, but to the young man's ears, it was tantamount to the judgment of death.

The young man was silent.

He glanced at Chu Bai, then at Spirit Spring who was very close at hand, and finally lowered his head in humiliation.

He took out Mind-Link Mark and Spell Power from his pocket and transferred half of the points to Chu Bai.

"You are strong."

The young man gritted his teeth, then without hesitation, he directly crushed the Teleportation Talisman in his hand.

Rather than fighting again and being injured, it's better to leave with half of the remaining points.

[Current points: 210]

[Current ranking: 35th]

Looking at the dancing numbers on the light screen, Chu Bai breathed a long sigh of relief, and the bloody light in the sea of consciousness gradually calmed down.

He walked to Spirit Spring, picked up a handful of clear spring water and drank it.

The spring water is sweet and flows down the throat into the abdomen, warming and nourishing the slightly dry meridians.

He looked at the gradually darkening sky in the distance, and his heart was extremely clear.

This is only the first day, and I have already reached the 35th place.

And those real good shows may still be waiting for him deeper down.

After looking at the names at the top, Chu Bai saw a lot of familiar faces.

I have been in school for half a year, and although I don't know each other, I have heard of a few names.

Chu Bai sat down cross-legged by the spring and began to enter a deep level of recovery. "The top twenty will be rewarded with exercises, and the top ten are related to the Spirit Pavilion's permission... In this assessment, we must compete for ranking."
