Chapter 145: In front of the Soul Pool
Night.
A bonfire flickered in the night, and the warm glow of the fire illuminated the slightly cold place.
In front of the bonfire, Chen Yu sat quietly on a smooth stone, looking at the shaking fire in a silent daze.
Today's battle has benefited Chen Yu a lot, no, it should be said that Chen Yu has learned a big lesson, and he clearly recognized his true strength.
The battle with Li Fei made Chen Yu feel unprecedented danger in his heart, originally he relied on the very perverted martial art of the Soul Shaking Bell to easily jump over the level and fight, but except for the Soul Shaking Bell, his strength was only one point stronger than the ordinary mid-stage Naling Realm, and it was not at all comparable to the real late-stage Naling Realm cultivator.
If it weren't for the thunderstorm today, he would definitely lose to Li Fei, and it was a very ugly defeat.
The cruel reality shattered Chen Yu's pampering feelings caused by defeating Xu Yang and killing the black sky in these months, Chen Yu asked himself, what do he have to be proud of, not counting the Soul Shaking Bell, a monk in the late stage of the Na Ling Realm can force himself to such a point, not to mention Li Changyuan, the enemy of the late stage of the Shen Soul Realm.
The flickering firelight slowly shook in Chen Yu's dark pupils, Chen Yu pursed his lips, and decided in his heart that after the baptism, he must find an opportunity to enhance his combat power, and now he is still too weak.
While Chen Yu was pondering, Zhao Mingzhu and Qin Erniu were whispering on the side, and it seemed as if they were discussing something, and finally the two seemed to have reached some kind of agreement, and after nodding to each other, Zhao Mingzhu got up and walked to Chen Yu's side.
A shadow swept across the corner of Chen Yu's eyes, making Chen Yu sober up from his contemplation, and turned his head to look at his side, at this time Zhao Mingzhu was looking at him with a look of wanting to speak and stopping.
Zhao Mingzhu's posture surprised Chen Yu, you must know that Zhao Mingzhu has always been very arrogant in front of him and does not hide anything, and now this rare situation makes Chen Yu feel quite rare.
"What's the matter?"
Seeing that Zhao Mingzhu didn't speak, Chen Yu had no choice but to ask with a smile.
Zhao Mingzhu smiled embarrassedly when he heard this, and then handed over a bag, which made Chen Yu frown, he didn't need to open it to see what was inside, it was the token they scavenged from Xu Yang and Ren Dong, but Chen Yu didn't expect that they would give him all the tokens.
"What are you doing here?" Chen Yu said with a slight frown.
Zhao Mingzhu said with some embarrassment: "These should be your trophies, if you hadn't defeated Li Fei and saved us, maybe we wouldn't even be qualified to participate in the baptism, so these tokens should belong to you, and we can't take them." ”
"What are you talking about?" Chen Yu said solemnly, his face was faintly full of anger, which made Zhao Mingzhu stunned for a while, not knowing why his actions caused such a big reaction from Chen Yu.
Chen Yu took a deep breath, his face softened, and then said: "Mingzhu, what is the relationship between us, to the public, you are the prince, I am the palace worshipper, these tokens should be handed over to you." ”
Chen Yu waved his hand when he said this, stopped Zhao Mingzhu, who wanted to say something, and then said: "To be private, we are friends, these tokens were searched out by you, they are yours, and I will never ask for them." ”
When Chen Yu said this, his expression was very sincere, without any false ingredients, which made Zhao Mingzhu feel moved, and his eyes looked at Chen Yu with a trace of tears.
This made Chen Yu shudder, pretending to be disgusted, and said in disgust: "Don't you be like this, look at me with tears, it always makes me feel that you are interesting to me......"
Zhao Mingzhu's face fell directly when he heard this, this guy, really! I was finally moved, this guy directly dissipated this emotion, but he also understood what Chen Yu meant, it was for him not to take these little things to heart, since he was a friend, this kind of thing was a matter of course.
Looking at Chen Yu's face, Zhao Mingzhu secretly made up his mind in his heart, no matter what would happen in the future, Chen Yu's brother he had made!
At this time, Qin Erniu also walked over, he also listened to Chen Yu's words in his ears just now, and smiled directly and boldly: "Sure enough, as I thought, Brother Ming acts eclecticly, quite refreshing, today I swear, if Brother Ming has anything to help in the future, I Erniu will definitely be the first!" At the end, Qin Erniu patted his chest and swore an oath.
Zhao Mingzhu on the side sneered: "Forget it, if Ming Yu really has something to do in the future, he can't even solve it with his cultivation, what do you want you to do?"
Hearing Zhao Mingzhu's words, Qin Erniu scratched his head embarrassedly and smiled: "Didn't I say it, what if I cultivate beyond Brother Ming in the future?"
"I'll go, the more you talk about it, the more outrageous it becomes......" Zhao Mingzhu shook his head and said angrily.
"I didn't mean just in case...... Qin Erniu said.
Chen Yu smiled softly when he saw the two of them teasing each other, and then pretended to be serious and said, "Okay, Erniu, this is what you said, I really have something to find you in the future, you can't shirk it......"
"That's nature, if there is anything that can be used by my two cows, then I will not shirk, if you want me to kill, then I will kill, if you want me to set fire, then I will set fire!"
"Eh, eh, eh, it's okay, the more you talk about it, the more outrageous it becomes, Ming Yu is not a bandit, why do you want to kill people and set fires!"
"Hehe, I'm sorry, I said it's smooth, I said it's smooth......"
"Really. ”
"Hahaha......"
For a while, this jungle was full of laughter, and even the cold environment seemed to be much warmer.
......
In the early morning of the second day, the three of them got up very early, and after glancing at each other, they all saw the solemnity in each other's eyes, because today was the last day to reach the top.
According to the regulations, if it is at noon, if there are still people who have not reached the top, they will all be considered to have given up automatically and will be disqualified from baptism, so Chen Yu and their next goal is only one, that is, to climb to the top of the Soul Town!
The three of them didn't delay the time, they set off directly towards the top of the Soul Suppression Mountain, with their foot strength, there were still two hours away from the top of the mountain, if it was late, it would really exceed the noon time, if they were disqualified like this, Chen Yu and they probably had no place to cry.
However, fortunately, Chen Yu and they did not encounter any difficult opponents along the way, and there were also some people who wanted to take advantage of this last opportunity to fight, and the result was naturally easily solved by Chen Yu, which was also fortunate that there were no monks in the late stage of the Naling Realm, otherwise it would be another vicious battle, so even if they won, they would exceed the specified time, and it would be a little more than worth the loss.
When there was still a quarter of an hour before noon, Chen Yu and the three of them finally reached the top of the mountain, and there were already many people standing here on the top of the mountain at this time.
Chen Yu's eyes swept over them solemnly, because Chen Yu felt extraordinary spiritual power fluctuations from these people, and said unceremoniously, like Zhao Mingzhu and Qin Erniu, who were the early stage monks of the Spirit Realm who reached the top, were definitely outliers, because the reason why there were monks in the early stage of the Spirit Realm who reached the top among other forces was because of the protection of high-level monks, and combinations like Chen Yu and them were rare on the top of the mountain, so when Chen Yu and them reached the top, they also attracted the attention of some people.
Just when Chen Yu and the others were a little unaccustomed to being looked at, a crisp and beautiful voice suddenly sounded on the top of the mountain: "Brother Mingzhu, here and here!"
When Chen Yu and the others heard the voice, they saw a petite and beautiful figure waving excitedly at them, this person was naturally Zhao Mingzhu's childhood sweetheart - Ning Ruoxuan.
Seeing acquaintances, Zhao Mingzhu and the others also happened to take this opportunity to get rid of everyone's scrutinizing eyes.
Seeing Zhao Mingzhu and them coming, Ning Ruoxuan was quite happy, of course, she only had Zhao Mingzhu in her eyes, Chen Yu and Qin Erniu were selectively ignored by her.
"Brother Mingyu, I knew you would definitely be able to reach the top?" Ning Ruoxuan said with a grin, the smile on her face made her look quite cute, which made Zhao Mingzhu's originally tense body and mind relax a little.
"Oh, by the way, Brother Mingzhu, let me introduce you, this is our senior brother of the Qingxu Sword Sect - Lu Qingfeng. After chatting with Zhao Mingzhu for almost a while, Ning Ruoxuan seemed to remember something, and pulled Zhao Mingzhu to introduce a person behind her.
This person is wearing a purple mountain, his face is ordinary, but his posture is unusually tall, his breath is profound, and the whole person is like a sharp sword pointing at the sky, with a sharp momentum, and he is not named Qingfeng.
This person made Chen Yu's eyes slightly solemn, because from this person, he felt an aura no less than Li Fei, and obviously this person was also a cultivator in the late stage of the Naling Realm.
Zhao Mingzhu hugged his fists and signaled to him, Lu Qingfeng obviously knew Zhao Mingzhu's identity, but he was not restrained, nor did he look down on Zhao Mingzhu with his strength, he just returned the salute lukewarmly, this just right distance made Zhao Mingzhu feel very good, and he couldn't help but glance at Lu Qingfeng.
When Zhao Mingzhu and them were greeting, Chen Yu's eyes were looking in front of everyone, because in front of them was a foggy patch, although he knew that it was the place where the Soul Suppression Pool was located, but no one dared to take a step forward, Chen Yu looked at the thick fog, his eyes were also slightly stunned, because he felt an extreme danger from this fog, if he didn't care about walking directly into this thick fog, I am afraid that there would be no bones!
It seems that this is the reason why everyone is gathered here, it is estimated that everyone is waiting for the leaders of the three major forces to come and open the soul pool, Chen Yu thought in his heart.
Just as Chen Yu was looking at the thick fog and pondering, a loud shout suddenly resounded through the entire Soul Suppression Mountaintop.
"Ming Yu, what about my junior brother, what did you do to him?!"
