His voice clearly betrayed a hint of anticipation and excitement as he said this.
Although he didn't say anything on ordinary days, he was actually very clear that the gap between his strength and Jiang Fan's was widening, and if this continued, it would be difficult for him to stay by Jiang Fan's side.
It wasn't that Jiang Fan would look down on him, but rather that the difference in their strength was too great. Staying by his side would only make him a burden in the end.
Zhou Yanchen had the same idea; if he wanted to curry favor with a powerful figure, he had to prove himself and become the most outstanding accessory on that Brother Thigh's leg.
Soon, it was Jiang Fan's turn in the line.
"Let's go inside."
As the elected captain, Jiang Fan has absolute authority to speak.
The others nodded and followed Jiang Fan, stepping through the door one after another.
The moment I stepped in, everything went black, just like the sudden second spiritual energy revival a few days ago.
It was pitch black, utterly dark.
Fortunately, their vision was restored in just a few breaths.
Countless points of light floated and moved like fireflies in the field of vision, barely illuminating the space inside the doorway.
That's right, there is no sun or moon here; the only source of light is these countless points of light.
Lan Shengxue stretched out her hand, and the light gradually disappeared into her palm, merging into her body.
Suddenly, a very comfortable warm current flowed through the meridians and slowly reached the dantian.
"Such rich spiritual energy!"
Although they had learned from the information provided by Lu Chengjun before entering that the world inside the door was so rich in spiritual energy that it seemed almost tangible, they were still shocked when they saw it with their own eyes.
"Damn! The spiritual energy here is even denser than during the last outbreak of the second spiritual energy revival. I feel like if I stay here a little longer, I'll break through to the Late-Stage First Rank!"
As Zhou Yanchen spoke, he greedily absorbed the surrounding spiritual energy, becoming more and more excited with each absorption.
The others followed Zhou Yanchen's lead, sitting cross-legged and frantically absorbing spiritual energy.
In an instant, the spiritual energy points floating all around seemed to be caught in a vortex, uncontrollably surging towards the group.
Ye Qizhen saw that everyone had sat down except for Jiang Fan, who was standing and showed no intention of absorbing the spiritual energy.
" Old Jiang, how are you? Are you suppressing it too much?"
Upon hearing this, everyone stopped cultivating and looked at Jiang Fan with expressions of worry.
Jiang Fan turned to look at Ye Qizhen, his face dark.
You really have a jinx.
"Huh?" Ye Qizhen was stunned for a moment, then her eyes widened suddenly.
"Holy crap, no way? He's really suppressed to the Late-Stage Second Rank? He's not even at the Early-Stage Third Rank?"
"If only it were Late-Stage Second Rank," Jiang Fan said through gritted teeth.
Ye Qizhen opened her mouth, "Second-- Middle-Stage Second Rank?"
Jiang Fan's face grew increasingly dark as he stared intently at the other person.
"Hiss--" Ye Qizhen gasped deeply, " Early-Stage Second Rank!!!"
"Good heavens, I... I was just saying that before, but... your strength really was suppressed to the Early-Stage Second Rank?! Uh--but this also shows that your strength is abnormal, and you are greatly suppressed by the spatial rules. Impressive!"
Ye Qizhen quickly changed his mind halfway through his sentence, showing his strong desire to survive.
"Well, don't worry too much, I'll protect you this time." Ye Qizhen said, putting her arm around Jiang Fan's shoulder.
Jiang Fan shoved the other person's hand away. "How about we have a little spar and see who protects whom?"
"Hehe, hehe, forget it then. We're a team, we need to stick together. Besides, our opponents are those Ruins Species, let's save our strength and energy for dealing with them," Ye Qizhen said awkwardly.
Others might not know, but he was very clear that although this place would suppress the strength of Martial Artist, their Psychic Power would not be suppressed.
In other words, Jiang Fan can still exert the power of advanced Psychic Power.
It could be said that, assuming Jiang Fan doesn't choose to hide the fact that he is Advanced Psychic, this place is practically his home turf.
Besides, even if Jiang Fan didn't use his Psychic Power, he didn't think he could gain any advantage over Jiang Fan.
At this moment, the Little Turtle crawled out of Jiang Fan's pocket, acting all high and mighty.
"Boy, I'm warning you, don't even think about using me as a tool. I will only intervene in a life-or-death situation."
The Little Turtle spoke through its nose, snorting as it finished, and muttering to itself as it spoke.
"If she hadn't forced me to protect you closely, I wouldn't have bothered coming. I wonder if I owed you something in my past life, hmph!"
The Little Turtle complained while crying out in its heart: Master, when are you coming back? I miss Little Turtle so much, waaaaah...
Zhou Yanchen scurried up to Jiang Fan and whispered, " Brother Thigh, your Psychic Power wasn't affected, was it?"
Seeing Jiang Fan shake his head, Zhou Yanchen breathed a long sigh of relief.
Suddenly, he thought of something else.
"Huh? Since their Psychic Power weren't affected, why didn't the Divine Wind Camp just send in a powerful Spirit Master to wipe them all out?"
The fat man had just arrived when he heard this, and he looked at him like he was an idiot.
"Did I say you put all your skill points into your face? Did you not put any points into your brain at all?"
Upon hearing this, Zhou Yanchen immediately exploded.
Who are you talking about?
"Isn't that right?" the fat man continued, looking at him like he was an idiot. "Although Principal Lu didn't explicitly say there was an age limit for entering, didn't you notice that the people queuing up just now weren't very old?"
"I--" Zhou Yanchen was speechless after being rebuked.
Ye Qizhen chimed in at the opportune moment, "There is indeed an age limit; to be precise, it should be under 30."
He was personally trained by Yan Tianyang, so naturally he knew more than others.
Therefore, no one doubts what he says.
The fat man continued, "Besides, even if there were no age limit, we can't just let any powerful Spirit Master in. After all, we on Blue Star know very little about what's inside the gate. What if Spirit Master were to accidentally perish here? Wouldn't that be a devastating loss?"
Zhou Yanchen was completely speechless.
Even though he really wanted to argue, the fat man's words made a lot of sense.
At this moment, Zhao Zhidong and his group walked over.
" Jiang Fan, how are you...?"
Jiang Fan grinned, "How about I summon my bunch of kids and you guys give it a try?"
Well--
Thinking of that group of Earth-Splitting Rhinoceros, the men subconsciously clenched their legs, and at the same time, the image of chrysanthemums scattered all over the ground during the Five-School League flashed through their minds, causing them to shudder involuntarily.
Yes, how could they forget that Jiang Fan is also a rather abnormal Beast Tamer?
Putting aside Jiang Fan's own combat strength, the group of Earth-Splitting Rhinoceros, who for some reason had a strong obsession with chrysanthemums, were simply beyond their ability to handle.
