Two hours later.

Under the control of Liang Rui, the Tearing Lion pulled the beast cart, first slowly glided at a low altitude for a while, then retracted its colorful wings, and the beast cart shook slightly, and landed smoothly.

Liang Rui's figure flashed, and he appeared on the withered yellow grass, he glanced around for a moment, and then looked at Zhao Fan, "This is it, come down." ”

Zhao Fan flew away from the beast cart and landed beside the former, looking at the surrounding environment, all of them were towering trees of unknown species, but there was no trace of green as far as the eye could see, and on the bark of those big trees, the natural lines made people look numb like ghost paintings.

However, there is not a lot of space between trees, and there is plenty of space to move.

The silence in the whole forest was a little terrible, and even the rustling sound of stepping on the blades of grass could be heard clearly.

"Do you know what kind of tree this is?" Liang Rui stretched out a finger and flicked it on the nearby tree trunk.

Zhao Fan shook his head, although there were many plants recorded in the inheritance information, they were all rare elixirs and other heavenly treasures or powerful plant-type lifeforms, so they couldn't recognize what tree this was.

The black mask on Liang Rui's face turned into mist and disappeared, revealing his true appearance like facial paralysis, and he introduced: "This tree, called the Soul Locking Tree, is a relatively special plant in the Yuan Beast Mountain Range. ”

"Nothing close?" Zhao Fan looked at the towering tree that covered the clouds and the sun suspiciously, but he didn't smell any dangerous breath.

Liang Rui nodded, "The Soul Locking Tree is divided into two forms in a year, summer and autumn are trees, and winter and spring are beasts, that is, soul locking beasts, which refers to the same kind. ”

"Oh? Depending on the season, will there be two life forms? Zhao Fan said in surprise, this is similar to the Cordyceps sinensis in his hometown, however, the latter's size is extremely small, while the Soul Locking Tree is at least 100 meters large.

And there is a soul word in the name of this thing, but Zhao Fan can't guess what kind of small stove the teacher will open for himself.

At this moment, Liang Rui no longer wasted time, he said in a guided manner: "Zhao Fan, choose a soul locking tree, you attack it with soul power, but remember, don't use too much power, just take one-tenth of the limit." ”

"Hmm."

After Zhao Fan heard this, he urged his soul power, did not make any assertions, and obediently exerted a hundred percent equivalent to the limit of soul power, condensed into a simple and unremarkable invisible knife, and cut towards the soul locking tree that had just been flicked by Liang Rui's fingertips.

......

The next moment, his mind sounded like the movement of rubbing foam, and it sounded like the sound of electricity.

Finally, Zhao Fan sensed that something was wrong, his soul seemed to have been captured by the soul lock tree through the soul power knife released by himself, and this feeling was equivalent to the body falling into a swamp, the more he struggled, the more he couldn't get out, although the soul power was not withdrawn, it couldn't be mobilized at all.

Zhao Fan opened his eyes and looked at Liang Rui in astonishment, "Teacher, what's going on?" My soul is fixed by the Soul Locking Tree, and even my body is ......."

"That's why I'm making a point of using one-tenth of the ultimate power." Liang Rui said unexpectedly: "With your soul body, if you use all your power, once you touch the soul locking tree, you will be instantly crushed by its reverse soul power, you are obedient." ”

Zhao Fan glanced at the Soul Lock Tree with fear, and humbly asked, "How should that disciple get out of trouble?" ”

"Look at it."

As Liang Rui spoke, terrifying soul power fluctuations surged around his body, directly transforming into a purple-black broadsword that slashed towards another soul locking tree.

Zhao Fan's heart trembled, and he subconsciously shouted: "Danger! ”

Liang Rui disapplied, and slashed the big knife transformed by soul power on the trunk of the tree, and then, his soul, like Zhao Fan, was locked by the soul locking tree.

Zhao Fan's eyes widened, and immediately after, he sensed that Liang Rui was holding back his soul power, and the latter's soul body pulled back, and he easily got out of the captured state.

The soul locking tree also resounded with a series of cracking sounds, and many cracks appeared on the trunk.

"Got it?" Liang Rui asked with a light smile.

Zhao Fan didn't answer immediately, he thoughtfully recalled the scene just now. After a while, a flash of inspiration occurred in his mind, and he asked tentatively: "The size of the reverse soul power of the soul locking tree depends on the strength of the attack, and when the soul is locked by it, you can't release the soul power, and it is possible to break free only by pulling the soul body itself." ”

"That's right."

Liang Rui's eyes showed appreciation, "And between pulling, the amplitude of soul power will increase invisibly." This is the most effective means of ascension, but it is also the most dangerous, because pulling with the soul locking tree, you must first control the upper limit of the soul, and the point of being slightly less accurate, if the reverse soul power generated by the power used exceeds the upper limit of the endurance, even if you can forcibly break free, your own soul will be torn apart, even if the degree is not fatal, one may also cause permanent damage. ”

Zhao Fan nodded jealously, taking the Soul Locking Tree as a trial object, just like taking arsenic to cure a disease, if a control error, not only can the amount not cure the disease, but it will become poisoned or even fatal!

"And this stuck point is groping in repeated attempts." Liang Rui said slowly: "One-tenth of the ultimate power is not your upper limit. Therefore, after you have broken free, attacking the Soul Locking Tree again will increase the power appropriately, but you should not be rashly aggressive. ”

"Teacher, I see."

Zhao Fan exhaled, then concentrated on the soul power without leaking, and started a tug-of-war with the most primitive method, that is, relying solely on the binding power of the soul body and the soul locking tree.

The process is a bit similar to a tug-of-war, when he began to pull, Zhao Fan felt that his soul was dragged by the soul locking tree in the direction of the trunk, and he didn't dare to relax for a moment, because if the soul body came into contact with the trunk, it would be devoured, such a cultivation method was extremely dangerous, but the effect was great.

Zhao Fan secretly observed Liang Rui out of the corner of his eye during the period, and the other party's expression did not change, he was very calm, as if he was extremely relieved of himself.

"You can't let the teacher down."

Zhao Fan told himself in his heart, because he remembered Liang Rui's sentence that one-tenth was not the upper limit, so he gritted his teeth and invisibly continued the battle with the Soul Locking Tree that was related to life and death.

After a stalemate for about an hour, Zhao Fan finally relied on his tenacious soul body to consume the binding force to the point of weakening.

Soon, he was completely free from the cage of the Soul Locking Tree!

Subsequently, in Zhao Fan's soul, an unprecedented comfort rose, although the strength of the soul did not change from before, but there was an illusion that it had become stronger.

He knew that it was the amplitude of the soul power that had increased!

Liang Rui nodded with satisfaction: "As I expected, it was half an hour ahead of schedule, and it was better than me who faced the Soul Locking Tree for the first time back then." ”

"Teacher, how long did it take you to break free?" Zhao Fan was curious.

"Add a stick of incense to an hour." Liang Rui sighed with emotion, "The amplitude of my innate soul power is far inferior to yours, only 0.6. ”

"Huh?"

Zhao Fan's eyes immediately turned into worship, his innate soul power amplitude is 2, in the teacher's words, it is a rare genius in the Metaverse for an era, but the other party is 0.6 of the normal range, but there is only one more stick of incense, in comparison, which is stronger and which is weaker, it is self-evident.

"Don't look at me like that, hehe, you're an ascendant, equivalent to a blank sheet of paper." Liang Rui waved his hand and said, "And I have the predecessors to learn from, otherwise I would have been fixed by the Soul Locking Tree for at least one day at that time." ”

Zhao Fan shrugged his shoulders and didn't take it seriously, after all, facts are facts.

"Rest for half an hour, and after the turmoil in the soul has stabilized, then increase the power to attack the soul locking tree again." Liang Rui pondered for a few seconds, and then said: "In the first three days, pulling with the Soul Locking Tree is the most effective sprint period, with the adaptability of the soul, the effect will be halved after more than three days, I hope you can seize this opportunity." ”

"The first three days had the most effect?"

After Zhao Fan heard this, a sense of urgency immediately rose in his heart, what he had seen and heard since his ascension made him extremely eager to be strong, so it was absolutely impossible to miss this kind of opportunity.

In this way, he only rested for half a pillar of incense, and when his soul was adjusted to the best state, he immediately threw himself into the second round of pulling, and the soul power used this time was probably one percent of the limit.

Zhao Fan is not stupid, he uses the soul lock tree to increase the amplitude of soul power, which is to frantically test on the verge of death, zero point of one percent, no more and no less, just right, if he succeeds in breaking free, next time he will add zero point of one.

Liang Rui looked at this scene, sensed it slightly, and a stiff smile appeared on his face, this crooked disciple who was receiving it, what really satisfied him was not the rare amplitude of innate soul power, but the other party's hard work, genius is not terrible, what is terrible is that genius works harder than mediocre!!
