The sky was gray, as if it was covered by heavy clouds, and the whole world seemed a little oppressive and dreary.

This kind of atmosphere is common in the mountains, but it is rarely encountered by martial artists.

After a martial artist reaches a certain level of cultivation, his body will change, transforming from his original physical body to his soul body.

And the soul body is also the weakest and most unstable existence.

The so-called soul body has its own independent consciousness.

This consciousness may be connected to the will of humans, or to the minds of other creatures, or even to the minds of monsters, in short, they are extremely mysterious, powerful, and strange beings.

Moreover, when the martial artist is cultivating, he can also use this mysterious power to change his appearance and appearance, so that people mistakenly think that they are human races, and they don't know that they are actually a group of monsters.

This is also the reason why many sects will want to recruit warriors to serve them.

And within the sect, such things also happen from time to time, so it has led to the development and growth of the sect.

But this is only a problem within the sect, and the real difficulty is the martial artist himself.

If you don't have enough tenacity and perseverance, you won't be able to get out of this forest at all.

This time, the warrior will encounter an unprecedented challenge!

"Boom~"

With a deafening thunderclap, a dazzling bolt of lightning suddenly pierced the sky and slashed into the boulder in the middle of the forest.

With a crisp click, the huge stone shattered directly, and then, in the horrified eyes of everyone, a blood-colored ball the size of a human head slowly rose into the air.

This round ball is made of bright red blood condensed, and it exudes a strong evil aura that makes people feel chills all over their bodies at the first glance.

The surface of this blood-colored ball is covered with dense lines, like a dragon with teeth and claws, full of tyranny and murderous taste, as if it is a grim reaper crawling out of hell.

And in the middle of this blood-colored orb, there was a dark purple mist floating, faint, and it was impossible to see what it was.

This blood-colored ball is the soul body of a warrior!

This is a very dangerous thing!

Because once this soul body is activated, it will unleash a powerful force that will destroy all obstacles around it!

And near this soul body, there is a huge array.

The function of this array is to block the power of this soul body, so that it cannot act recklessly.

This is the test given by the sect to the martial artist!

"Roar!"

A low roar came from the soul body, and the eyes of this soul body narrowed slightly, and the depths of the eyes were filled with cruel and evil light.

Immediately after, a powerful and incomparable aura suddenly rose into the sky, sweeping away in all directions, enveloping a radius of 100 meters, as if forming a terrifying cage.

"Boom!"

The thunder sounded again, and the dark clouds in the sky seemed to be stirred by this terrifying breath, and they kept tumbling, as if they were about to brew more violent storms.

At this moment, the temperature of the entire forest dropped sharply, as if it had entered a cold winter wax moon.

In this cold winter forest, there were suddenly a few more figures.

The speed of these figures is extremely fast, as if they were teleporting.

"Huh~"

When the first black-clothed young man stood on the top of this towering mountain, overlooking the barren jungle below, the corners of his mouth suddenly outlined a cold arc:

"The assessment task this time is very simple, that is, to kill this soul body!"

This young man is naturally Zhao Chen, who has just arrived at the Martial Arts Academy.

This trip to the Martial Arts Academy, he gained a lot.

First of all, this time the trial assessment is very strict, in addition to the rules that the martial artists themselves have to abide by, the martial arts academy will also formulate new rules, such as the identity of the martial artist, level, combat experience, and various exercise cheats, etc., all of which must be registered in detail, once a mistake is found, the qualification will be cancelled immediately and re-assessed.

These rules make these freshmen who have just entered the martial arts academy very uncomfortable, but they also have to abide by them, because this is where the dignity of martial artists lies.

Secondly, Li Xuechu's harvest is very rich.

In this trial, he killed dozens of demon beasts in the early stage of the spirit level, and the inner pills and crystal nuclei of these demon beasts were all put away by Zhao Chen, ready to be taken home and sold for money.

And in the process of Li Xuechu killing these demon beasts, he also killed two spirit-level high-level demon beasts, and the harvest was very rich, and the inner pills and crystal nuclei of these demon beasts were also devoured by Zhao Chen.

In the end, Li Xuechu also killed the corpses of two spirit-level mid-level demon beasts, one of which was a spirit-level beginner, the corpse of this demon beast was worth a lot of money, and it could be regarded as making up for Zhao Chen's loss.

In addition, Li Xuechu also found a storage ring from the corpses of the three demon beasts.

And what is contained in this storage ring is a storage ring of medium-grade spiritual weapons.

Such a good thing is naturally left to his family, and Li Xuechu does not plan to trade it.

"Boom!"

Another bolt of lightning slashed down, slashing at the huge soul body suspended in the air.

Under this lightning, the huge soul body twisted violently, letting out a painful hissing sound.

Obviously, under this flash of lightning, it suffered immensely.

However, it is obvious that its consciousness is gradually recovering, which makes Li Xuechu very worried.

Because, he wasn't sure if this behemoth would be able to wake up in a minute!

One minute...

It's only a minute!

And at this time, the thunder in the sky became more and more vigorous, and the soul body suspended in the air actually slowly floated up and flew towards the air.

Soon, the soul body suspended in mid-air completely left the ground and flew into the air.

Immediately after, the soul body jerked up its right hand and grabbed it into the air.

Suddenly, a huge whirlpool appeared out of thin air, and the whirlpool grew bigger and bigger, and in an instant, it covered a radius of dozens of zhang.

With a "snort", the huge whirlpool sucked up the dirt and trees on the ground.

And these trees, leaves, etc., were sucked up in an instant.

Soon, this huge whirlpool expanded to a radius of tens of meters.

And the center of that vortex is the soul body floating in mid-air, and it is also the main body of this soul body.

"Whew..."

A series of whistling sounds were heard, and then the dirt, leaves, stones, etc., were sucked through by the whirlpool.

"Huh~"

At this time, the soul body floating in mid-air suddenly moved, and slammed into the whirlpool, trying to enter the whirlpool.

But this scene was naturally discovered by Li Xuechu.

"Damn it!"

"Stop her!"

Seeing this, Li Xuechu was immediately shocked and shouted loudly.

However, now he can't get out at all.

Beside him, there were three more people.

These three people are Wang Haonan, Yang Wenyuan and Li Hongyuan, all three of them are examiners this time, and they are all middle-level existences at the spirit level.

Moreover, Wang Haonan is also a master of the Martial Saint Realm, and this kind of strength is definitely among the top powerhouses in this martial arts academy enrollment assessment.

On his other side, there were two high-level spiritual monks.

One of them is called Chen Zhiyuan, who is in the middle stage of the Martial Saint, and the other is called Song Zhiming, who is the peak level of the middle stage of the Martial Saint, and the strength of both of them is very strong.

However, Li Xuechu was not afraid at all, but directly sacrificed his treasure.

A spear and a long sword are all his treasures, and they are very powerful, they are a medium-grade spiritual weapon!

At this moment, Li Xuechu had a fierce look in his eyes, holding a spear in his hand, and stomped on the ground with the soles of his feet.

"Bang!"

The ground shook for a moment, and then with the help of the rebound force, he turned into a streamer of light, and quickly shot towards the soul body!

At the same time, Wang Haonan and Yang Wenyuan also quickly followed.

"Whew~"

In the blink of an eye, Li Xuechu's figure had appeared near the whirlpool, and plunged into the whirlpool, disappearing without a trace.

Seeing this, Li Xuechu's face also changed slightly, because the moment Li Xuechu entered that whirlpool, Zhao Chen felt the aura of danger.

He could even predict that once Li Xuechu entered that whirlpool, he would definitely die.

Because this vortex is so weird, it contains a terrifying aura of destruction.

If he accidentally enters, then he must try to avoid entering the whirlpool.

"No, you can't let Li Xuechu in!"

"No matter what the cost, I must save this opportunity."

"Whoosh!"

Just when Li Xuechu was about to enter the whirlpool, Zhao Chen's body moved, and his body turned into an afterimage, and he suddenly rushed towards the whirlpool.

He must be ahead of Li Xuechu and take away this opportunity.

"Boom!"

However, Li Xuechu had just approached the whirlpool, and the whirlpool burst in an instant, forming a huge energy storm that swept out in all directions, as if it was about to tear the entire world apart.

"Poof!"

Li Xuechu was swept by this energy storm, and his body flew out directly upside down and fell to the ground.

And the mountain range below him collapsed in an instant, turning into a deep pit.

"How so?"

Li Xuechu was shocked.

Although the whirlpool exploded just now, it was not powerful enough to hurt him, and it didn't even hurt him.

However, now the vortex has destroyed the area, and even reduced a radius of hundreds of feet to rubble.

"Could it be that this vortex is fake?"

Li Xuechu had an expression of disbelief on his face, and guessed in his heart.

But then, he shook his head again, because he knew that he would never admit his mistake.

Because above that ruin, he felt a familiar smell, it was the breath emanating from that soul body!

"No, I can't be mistaken! This is definitely the aura emanating from that soul body! "

"This whirlpool, it should be real. It's just that this soul body seems to be restricted in some way, so it doesn't dare to come out. "

"And I happen to be able to use this opportunity to subdue that soul body."

As soon as Li Xuechu's mind moved, he prepared to summon that soul body.

After all, the temptation of that soul body was too great for him.

His strength was already above this soul body, and now he has obtained a part of the inheritance of "Jiuyang Divine Skill", plus he also has the strength of the peak realm of the middle stage of the Martial Saint.

Therefore, he believed that as long as he summoned that soul body, he would definitely succeed.

However, he had just been about to release this soul body when his brows furrowed.

Because he found that the sky in this valley began to be cloudy.

Under the dark clouds, there were faint sounds of dragons and phoenixes, as if the catastrophe was coming.

"What's going on?"

"Could it be that the punishment of heaven is about to come?"

At this moment, Li Xuechu's face also changed slightly, he didn't want to be punished by heaven at such a time.

However, when he wanted to retreat, a cold voice sounded:

"Huh, you want to run?"

Hearing this cold voice, Li Xuechu's face also sank.

The voice came from his left.

He slowly turned his head to look and found that there were several more people beside him.

And one of them was the young man he had met earlier.

"Who are you? Why is it in the way? "

Li Xuechu looked at the group of people in front of him, and scolded secretly in his heart: "Paralyzed, what's going on?" "

However, even with such anger, he remained calm.

Because he knew that his most important task at this moment was to collect this soul body, so he couldn't mess around, he had to stay calm, so that he could find a suitable opportunity.

"Who are you?"

Zhao Chen asked indifferently.

Although he hadn't met Li Xuechu, he didn't know his name.

However, the moment he saw Li Xuechu, he immediately guessed that Li Xuechu should be the legendary Li Xuechu of the Li family.

"Li Xuechu!"

"What's wrong? Something? "

Hearing Zhao Chen's inquiry, Li Xuechu also replied with a sneer, and at the same time, he also secretly said in his heart: "Hehe, I guessed it, they really came for this soul body." However, they probably didn't expect that this soul body was completely controlled by me.
