Chapter 171: Death Canyon (Subscribe!!!)
Yue Guan urged everyone to enter the canyon.
"If all goes well, I'll see you in a day."
"Oh, right. Seven days is the maximum. If you still haven't obtained a crystal core after seven days, you'll get a chance to return to camp and rest, but you'll also be dismissed from the Spirit Hall team, and this training will be a direct elimination."
Sun Qi's expression was solemn as he walked into the valley ahead.
It was as if a natural barrier separated Death Canyon from the outside world.
Stepping over this barrier, Sun Qi distinctly felt a change in the environment. The surrounding Heaven and Earth Origin Qi began to become chaotic, carrying a corrosive power within it.
His expression changed slightly.
Corrosive!
The Heaven and Earth Origin Qi here was inherently corrosive, and after advancing about a hundred meters, Sun Qi could feel this corrosiveness rapidly intensifying.
"You all feel it, right?"
Hu Liena spoke.
"The Heaven and Earth Origin Qi here is highly corrosive. We must constantly use our spirit power to resist it, otherwise our bodies will be corroded. The constant drain on spirit power is a huge burden. We should try to return to camp every day."
Her words were met with approval from most people.
Except for Sun Qi.
"It's hard to say. The three-day and seven-day limits might not necessarily be a strategy to save crystal cores."
"What do you mean?"
Hu Liena looked at Twin · Sun Qi curiously.
Her mental force was very high, and she was extremely sensitive in perception, feeling that her own senses were already very accurate.
Twin · Sun Qi shook his head and looked at Eyes Sun Qi.
Hu Liena followed his gaze.
Eyes Sun Qi's expression was grave, and golden and transparent silver-white streams of light flowed in his eyes.
In his vision, everything became dim, as if endless grey mists enveloped the canyon.
The deeper they went, the denser the grey mists became.
He then lowered his head to look at himself, finding that the spirit power he used to resist the grey mists outside his body emitted a special light.
The grey mists were tempering his spirit power.
"Three days..."
"A longer period probably means longer endurance. However, the depletion of spirit power from full to empty would certainly not be enough for three or even seven days, so recovery might also be needed."
"To recover spirit power..." Eyes·Sun Qi looked up again at the grey mists.
Once Heaven and Earth Origin Qi was absorbed, it was inevitable to inhale the grey mists into the body.
What would be the consequences of these grey mists entering the body?
Eyes Sun Qi didn't know, so he wanted to try it.
However, it wasn't Eyes Sun Qi who tried; he merely stated his analysis.
Twin · Sun Qi volunteered to try.
Yellow, purple, and black spirit rings rose from beneath his feet, and his first spirit ring flickered.
Bronze Power surged forth, released by him outside his body, capturing a portion of the grey mists from the air, and then integrating them into his body.
Even enveloped by Bronze Power, the grey mists still had strong corrosiveness, capable of corroding even Bronze Power.
As Bronze Power dissipated, the grey mists merged with spirit power in Sun Qi's meridians, flowing along them.
Twin · Sun Qi showed a pained expression.
"Junior Brother? Are you alright?"
Hu Liena was greatly alarmed and very anxious.
Twin · Sun Qi raised his hand.
"Senior Sister, don't worry, I'm fine."
As he spoke, he showed an excited expression.
"The Heaven and Earth Origin Qi here, when integrated into the meridians and circulated with spirit power, can temper spirit power and also strengthen the meridians."
"What?"
Hu Liena was shocked.
Yan and Xie Yue also exclaimed.
"Ah!"
The next moment, a teammate screamed.
"Sun Qi, you lied! My meridians are about to be corroded through!"
"Don't try recklessly, you absorbed too much."
He hadn't even finished speaking when this person rushed to try, serving him right.
He continued to experiment, roughly confirming that while the grey mists would corrode the meridians, this corrosion was temporary. As long as spirit power flowed through, and the meridians were flushed and nourished, they would become tougher than before.
Undoubtedly, this could enhance a Spirit Master's capacity to bear spirit rings.
"Ah!"
While Sun Qi was thinking, another scream rang out.
This time, it was a teammate who had always been steady.
"The corrosiveness is too strong; I can't bear it at all."
How could this be?
Sun Qi frowned, not quite understanding.
He looked back at Xie Yue and Yan, who were also trying to absorb the Heaven and Earth Origin Qi at this time.
Both of them had extremely painful expressions.
In just a moment, they opened their eyes, revealing contorted expressions.
"The corrosiveness is too strong. Even a tiny bit is a devastating blow to the meridians."
Now, Sun Qi knew the problem lay with himself.
"Even if my endurance is strong, you two are stronger than those few, aren't you?"
It made no sense that they would all be unable to bear even a tiny bit of grey mist.
"We two can barely feel the effect you mentioned, but we can't endure it for too long, and the improvement is negligible."
"Perhaps after a few days of adaptation, your meridians will be able to endure for a longer time," Twin · Sun Qi said.
As for how he could endure it?
He didn't know either.
The nine people tried one by one, and in the end, Sun Qi confirmed that only his two main bodies could use the grey mists to temper their meridians for a longer period, and to a certain extent refine the corresponding energy, recovering spirit power loss.
"No wonder Teacher could withstand the cultivation of twin spirits; this Death Canyon played an indispensable role."
Sun Qi now knew Bibi Dong's method for enhancing her body's endurance.
"Sun Qi, let's first figure out how to get a crystal core. Our meridians are all damaged now, so it's best to return to camp tonight to rest and heal our meridians."
"Alright."
The two Sun Qis led the other seven deeper into the canyon.
Soon, they understood what a crystal core was.
Within Death Canyon, illusory life forms would randomly condense. These life forms were similar to Spirit Beasts, capable of using Spirit Abilities, and their strength was at the level of ten-thousand-year Spirit Beasts.
Indeed, ten-thousand-year Spirit Beasts!
If the nine people didn't cooperate fully, trying to kill one of these special life forms would inevitably result in losses.
Killing such a special life form would yield a crystal core. Twin · Sun Qistepped forward, picked up the crystal core, and fell into contemplation.
He looked back at the team members, who were all exhausted at this point.
Obtaining one crystal core was already so difficult; it was hard to imagine the hardships required for nine crystal cores.
At this moment, everyone in the Spirit Hall team fell into despair.
Was this what the training was like?
Their seniors had always been secretive about it, only knowing that they had made remarkable progress. Now that they finally knew the truth, they only wanted to escape from here.
Was this hellhole really a place for humans to stay?
"Senior Sister, Xie Yue, your Martial Soul Fusion Technique can deal with two crystal beasts simultaneously. Yan, you and the other four work together to hunt one. The two of us will each hunt one separately."
They couldn't continue cooperating as nine people, otherwise, every crystal beast would lead to a significant loss of spirit power for everyone present, making it impossible for them to hunt enough crystal cores.
They could only fight with all their might.
To carve out a chance of survival in battle.
This was the true purpose of the Spirit Hall's high-ranking officials sending them here.
