"Buzz!"
The moment the Spirit Nourishing Pill entered his body, a strange energy immediately swept outwards, with Xiao Yan's Soul Power bearing the brunt. If he hadn't acted quickly enough, he would have at least had his soul damaged by that power.
Outside, the instant Xiao Yan's Spiritual Strength withdrew from Bai Hua's body, his tightly closed eyes suddenly opened, and he took a half step back, thus completely avoiding the invasion of that energy.
"This Spirit Nourishing Pill is quite unique."
Just moments before, as his Soul Power was about to withdraw from Bai Hua's body, the strange energy that had been sweeping through his body suddenly contracted violently. At the same time, an even more astonishing suction force was released from within Bai Hua 'Soul Origin, almost pulling Xiao Yan's Soul Power into it.
Although it was somewhat dangerous, it also put Xiao Yan at ease. After all, with this power, he believed that he could regain the part of Bai Hua's Soul Origin that had been devoured, and perhaps even completely devour the monster's soul!
"How about it?"
Seeing Xiao Yan hastily retreat, Xiao Xuan couldn't help but ask in surprise. Lian'er, standing to the side, also showed a hint of nervousness on her pretty face.
"Hehe, the effects of this Spirit Nourishing Pill far exceeded my expectations. Don't worry, everything will be fine."
Upon hearing this, the two exchanged a smile, and the heavy weight that had been hanging over their hearts finally lifted.
Then, when the three of them looked at Bai Hua again, a strange energy was emanating from his body and slowly enveloping him. An astonishingly strong aura of vitality completely calmed the emotions in the three of them.
Although Bai Hua's condition has temporarily stabilized, it is clear that he will not be able to wake up in the short term. It is likely that he will have to wait until the two Soul Origin have completely merged before he can wake up.
Having resolved the Bai Hua issue, the next thing they need to focus on is the clan association.
Compared to the battles of the Origin King and Origin Emperor, the battle of the Yuan Zong is undoubtedly more exciting. The peak young generation of family experts, who are rarely seen on ordinary days, have all gathered together today. What is even more valuable is that we can directly understand the strength of these people. This will naturally be of great benefit to the future cultivation of the young family members in the stands.
The so-called spiritual practice consists of two parts: cultivation (learning) and practice (walking).
Whether it's practicing Cultivation Methods and Combat Skills or observing battles between powerful individuals, these are all ways of learning. Traveling across the continent and venturing out to gain experience, whether it's a journey of thousands of miles or a long distance, all begin with a single step. The two complement each other and constitute cultivation.
The battle for the Yuan Zong Sect was obviously more intense than the former. Although there were far fewer rounds, the battles between the Yuan Zong were not easily decided, so almost every battle lasted quite a long time. Of course, the situation like Xiao Yan's in the morning was an unexpected accident.
Having resolved Bai Hua's matter, Xiao Yan was too lazy to return to the noisy martial arts arena. Hearing from Xiao Xuan that his next match would probably be tomorrow, and since he had nothing else to do, he decided to go back to his room and get a good night's sleep.
Although this pill refining process only lasted a few days, Xiao Yan did not find it easier than any of his previous attempts. The increased concentration, the frantic consumption of his Spiritual Strength and Origin Qi were all far beyond what he had experienced in pill refining before. It was already quite an achievement that he was able to remain calm when facing Xiao Chuhang in the morning. Now that he could rest, Xiao Yan was indeed too exhausted to move any further.
Xiao Xuan returned to the arena to prevent Xiao Dingtian from doing anything else. Lian'er, who had no interest in the scene, stayed behind to look after Bai Hua. The group finally got back on track from the previous tension.
Meanwhile, in the arena, a fierce battle was raging on three stone platforms.
The Gu Ling girl Xiao Ling'er, with her uncanny agility, almost completely dominated the battle. Although her opponent never lost, he never managed to touch Xiao Ling'er's body at all, from the start of the battle until his eventual defeat. Such a bizarre situation was indeed rare.
Meanwhile, among the other battlegrounds, the most interesting one today was Xiao Tian's. The battle had reached the midpoint when he actually broke through in the middle of the fight. Fortunately, his opponent did not take advantage of his weakness and he ultimately won. However, the atmosphere on the field was quite harmonious.
In addition, there was a member of a family who usually kept a low profile, but his appearance on the first day of the lunar new year drew praise from many elders in the elders' seats. Many of them looked at him with anticipation, clearly having high hopes for him.
"In the second round, third match, Xiao Ling'er faced Xiao Yang, and Xiao Yang won!"
In the arena, the referee's voice slowly rang out. On the battle platform, Xiao Ling'er pouted and glared fiercely at Xiao Yang, who was smiling at her from the opposite side. This guy looked harmless, but since the two of them started fighting earlier, Xiao Ling'er's nimble movements had been repeatedly intercepted by him, so that the situation that should have been in her favor was completely in his hands, and she was finally knocked out of the arena by his final palm strike.
"Hehe, I apologize, young lady. My purpose in coming here is to prove my strength and become the new heir apparent, so I have no choice but to go all out."
Staring at the alluringly beautiful body opposite him, Xiao Yang slowly smiled and said.
"Hmph, I don't know if you can defeat the young master, but you definitely won't be able to get past Xiao Yan."
Xiao Ling'er snorted coldly, speaking with disdain.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yang scoffed. He had heard about Xiao Yan's achievements. Although he had defeated Xiao Lei and Xiao Zhuobin, such battles across different levels were obviously exaggerated, so he naturally didn't believe it. With his current true strength, defeating Xiao Yan shouldn't be difficult. In his eyes, the only opponent in this tournament was Xiao Feng.
Thinking of this, Xiao Yang couldn't help but turn his gaze to Xiao Feng below the stage. His ranking was placed at the very end of the Yuan Zong Battle, which meant that if you wanted to see him on the field, you had to defeat all the other contestants. The reason why the Xiao Clan did this was not only because the latter was the heir of the Xiao Clan, but also to prevent some unfair duels from happening at the clan meeting. And it was precisely because of these reasons that the status of the heir was quite important in the eyes of the young members of the Xiao Clan.
However, while Xiao Yang was lost in his own thoughts, he did not notice that Xiao Feng was only looking at Xiao Yan's empty seat.
