After returning to the dormitory, Duan Chen suddenly asked a red mang in his mind after completely consolidating the qi veins around his body, especially the tenth tendon vein that had just been opened, "Hey, with my current strength, if I really meet a powerhouse in the middle of the Silver Pill Realm like Xu Quande, what are the chances of winning?"

"It's unbelievable that you're able to fuse different energies, but even then, your chances of winning won't exceed ten percent!" replied in a resolute tone.

"So low?" Duan Chen said with a questioning face.

"Hmph, if you don't believe it, if you have a chance to compete with that little girl, you'll know if what I said is true!" Looking at Duan Chen, who was full of doubts, the Blood Pupil Demon Ape directly turned into a remnant and disappeared into the light seal.

Early the next morning, after the compulsory course was over, Duan Chen couldn't wait to take Ling Xiao to a clearing, and then after explaining his intention to him, the two began their first fight.

However, when Duan Chen was quite devastated, when facing a powerhouse like Ling Xiao, no matter what combat skills he used, he couldn't cause any damage to her at all.

And in the course of the competition, if he hadn't had the combat skill of afterimage strike, I was afraid that even if Ling Xiao didn't keep his hand, he would have already been beaten down countless times.

It was night, thinking back to the powerlessness he felt when he competed with Ling Xiao during the day, Duan Chen finally slowly fell into deep thought.

"Alas, I really don't know what you're doing so strong!" Looking at Duan Chen, whose face was getting more and more gloomy, the Blood Pupil Demon Ape sighed and continued: "But you are not without a chance, as long as you can advance again before the whole sect competition, and then add my new combat skills, maybe it is not completely impossible to defeat that guy!"

Listening to the words of the Blood Pupil Demon Ape, a trace of essence suddenly flashed in Duan Chen's originally gloomy eyes, but in just a moment, the essence in his eyes was once again replaced by deep helplessness.

Looking back on the past year, although with the help of the Blood Pupil Demon Ape and Kongtong Seal, he had indeed created a record that no one could break, and within a year, he had risen two levels from the early stage of the Quenching Transformation Yuan Realm to the current Great Perfection Realm of the Transformation Yuan Realm.

But he also understands that as his strength continues to get stronger, it is obviously impossible to continue this record.

Just like a few days ago, if it wasn't for Pang Tao's strong coercion at the last moment, then he would not have been able to give it a go at the last moment, so as to magically fuse the two unrelated energies together.

If that's the case, I'm afraid that at this time, he is still only in the middle of the Transformation Yuan Realm.

Therefore, considering the whole competition that will be held in less than half a year, especially the promise he made to Ling Xiao, Duan Chen can be said to have mixed feelings in his heart, and the pressure is quite high.

"Boy, the so-called records are created by people, and now you don't have to put too much pressure on yourself, as long as you work hard in everything, a clear conscience is enough! Besides, although it is difficult to be promoted again in half a year, but in the past year, you have not done the same!"

Just when the pressure in Duan Chen's heart was getting bigger and bigger, and he might even collapse completely at any time, suddenly the blood pupil demon ape's figure flashed, and he looked directly at the latter and said.

"I've worked hard, I have a clear conscience, I've worked hard, I have a clear conscience-" Like a player, Duan Chen stared at the front with empty eyes, and kept talking to himself.

"I seem to understand, thank you, thank you!" I don't know how long it took, when the melancholy on Duan Chen's face was completely replaced by the confident look of the past. With a face full of gratitude, he said towards the Blood Pupil Demon Ape.

"You're welcome, in fact, I just gave you a hint, in the end, everything is still up to you, but you can figure it out, I'm really happy for you!" Looking at Duan Chen, who seemed to have been reborn, the Blood Pupil Demon Ape said sincerely.

And these words were definitely the heartfelt words of the Blood Pupil Demon Ape, because although from the beginning, he had sensed the difference between Duan Chen, such as his perseverance, decisive character, and spirit that was not afraid of hardship.

But now, as the pressure on the latter is getting bigger and bigger, the Blood Pupil Demon Ape can't help but feel worried for him in his heart, because as a living creature who has lived for nearly a hundred years.

During this period, he didn't know how many talented people he saw, but in the end, all of them were due to the high expectations of others, or because he had failed to fulfill his lofty ambitions, and other pressures from the world, resulting in psychological collapse and nothing to achieve.

However, now, when Duan Chen tried to compete with Ling Xiao and clearly learned about the huge gap between the two, the huge pressure that had been hidden in the depths of his heart finally began to slowly reveal.

In this regard, the Blood Pupil Demon Ape was not surprised, after all, for more than a year, Duan Chen had been a little too smooth in every aspect.

Therefore, when he suddenly found that the promise he made to Ling Xiao might not be fulfilled, the pressure he was under was obviously several times greater than that of ordinary people.

However, just when Duan Chen was about to be completely crushed by the pressure in his heart, the Blood Pupil Demon Ape, who had long been aware of it, hurriedly spoke out of relief at the first time.

But after only a few words of guidance to Duan Chen, the Blood Pupil Demon Ape returned the final initiative to Duan Chen's hands again. Obviously, the Blood Pupil Demon Ape knew very well that there were some things that had to be done by Duan Chen himself in the end.

Otherwise, even if he forcibly helped him out of the pressure today, if he couldn't defeat the demon in the end, then sooner or later, he would still fall in this place, and he would fall heavily in a way that was several times more miserable than now!

With such a thought, when Duan Chen heard his guidance and fell into a struggle, the Blood Pupil Demon Ape also gritted his teeth and made a difficult decision, no longer interfering, and everything was up to him.

As time passed rapidly, just as the worry in the Blood Pupil Demon Ape's heart became more and more intense, suddenly Duan Chen's excited voice came out, and it was at this time that the Blood Pupil Demon Ape's tense nerves completely relaxed.

"Were you worried about me just now, afraid that I would be completely crushed by the huge pressure?" Looking directly at the Blood Pupil Demon Ape standing in his mind, Duan Chen suddenly looked at the other party's eyes with a serious face.

"You're thinking too much, I'm just worried about who I'm going to go with if you die!" his gaze moved away intentionally or unintentionally, and the cold voice of the Blood Pupil Demon Ape came out.

"Oh, yes, maybe I'm really thinking too much!" Shrugging his shoulders slightly, Duan Chen deliberately pretended to be sad.
