Closing his fists, he looked at the damage he had caused on the trunk of the tree, and couldn't help but exhale softly. Close your eyes and feel the surging force in your body, and muttered to yourself.

"I didn't expect that this time I would actually get a blessing in disguise, not only did I get through this danger safely, but even the 'Naling Nine Style', which had been stagnant for a month, broke through and advanced to the fifth layer in one fell swoop. ”

At this time, Guiguzi appeared behind Han Chen, looking at the damage caused by Han Chen on the trunk, and nodded slightly. Then he said slowly.

"You're lucky this time, and as far as I can guess, it's probably the bone-chilling cold air in the deep pool under the waterfall that resonates with the cold ice spirit crystals in your body, putting you in danger. But fortunately, this time, there was not much ice aura liquid gushing out of the ice spirit crystal. Otherwise, even if you are a teacher, you can't do anything, you can only watch you become an ice sculpture. ”

Hearing what Guiguzi said, Han Chen nodded thoughtfully, thinking about the situation at that time, he couldn't help but feel scared for a while.

After a pause, Guiguzi continued: "The deep pool has been extremely deep after the impact of the waterfall for so many years, and the pool water accumulated at the bottom of the pool for many years is cold to the bone, and now it is winter, and the chill at the bottom of the pool is even stronger.

However, after these months of penance, the muscles and bones in your body have been washed and tempered by the aura, and you are already extremely strong, although the bone-chilling chill at the bottom of the pool is enough to instantly seize the vitality of an ordinary person, but it does not have much impact on you. ”

However, the impact is not big but it does not mean that there is no impact, although the bone-chilling is not enough to hurt you, but don't forget that the cold ice spirit crystal in your body is absorbing the aura outside your body all the time and strengthening itself.

The bone-chilling aura at the bottom of the pool is a dangerous thing for others, but it is a great supplement for the cold ice spirit crystal. In fact, yesterday, as a teacher, I sensed the abnormal movement of the cold ice spirit crystal in your dantian, but after many investigations, I found nothing. I didn't expect it to burst out today!"

Hearing this, Han Chen finally understood, it turned out that all the reasons were due to his greed for pleasure.

Even the original idea of borrowing the cold ice aura liquid in the ice spirit crystal to cultivate was immediately dispelled.

Not to mention how crazy this one's action is that he will kill himself if he is not careful. Just thinking about the pain in his body just now, which made it seem like his bone marrow was frozen into ice cubes, Han Chen couldn't help but shudder.

"But the only thing I didn't expect was that this danger not only did not cause you to be damaged, but instead helped you break through the bottleneck and break through to the fifth layer. Feeling the strength contained in Han Chen's not very strong body, Guiguzi sighed leisurely.

Immediately, he looked at Han Chen with a smile in his eyes and said slowly: "However, the pure spiritual qi liquid obtained by refining the cold ice aura liquid alone is enough to help you break through to the fifth layer, and the earth attribute aura that you have gathered for you within a radius of a hundred miles has been condensed into an aura mist, absorbing such a huge amount of aura at once, it should not only be the fifth layer of the first entry!"

"The middle stage of the fifth layer, it is estimated that it should be equivalent to the middle stage of the eighth star!" Han Chen shrugged his shoulders and smiled slightly.

Although his face was full of indifference, the look of excitement in his eyes showed that Han Chen's mood was not as calm as it seemed on the surface.

"Let's go back, there is still half a month to consolidate, and try to see if we can break through to the late stage of the fifth layer in this most difficult time. If you compete for the place to enter the Sword Pavilion with a physical strength comparable to the peak of the eight-star peak, you must be more sure!" Guiguzi nodded lightly, a hint of relief flashing in his eyes. Then he whispered to Han Chen.

"Hmm!"

Stretching out the palm of his hand, he slowly clenched it, and the powerful force in his body slowly condensed on the palm.

With his current physical strength comparable to that of the mid-eight-star stage, coupled with the two volumes of Xuan-rank combat skills, even if he fought a battle with the late-stage eight-star sword attendant, Han Chen was sure to win the battle. If you can break through to the late fifth layer again

Thinking of this, a hint of strong confidence flashed in Han Chen's dark eyes

Half a month is not a long time, and it has passed quietly in the blink of an eye.

In the quiet cabin, Han Chen, who was sitting quietly in the bathtub and absorbing the 'Yuan Spirit Liquid' in the water to refine his body, slowly opened his eyes.

Feeling the strength in his body that was only one line away from being able to break through to the late fifth layer, Han Chen was no longer as persistent as he was half a month ago. Only a quick flash of regret flashed in his dark eyes, and then he returned to calm.

He exhaled lightly, slowly exhaled the turbidity in his chest, and suddenly got up and stood up from the tub.

The clear water quickly slid down the furrows and lines of the streamlined muscles on the body, and fell into the bath tub, sounding a continuous crisp sound of 'dripping horns'.

Pick up the towel on the table, wipe off the water stains on your body, and change into a black robe.

In three days, it will be the end of the year, and the next day after the end of the year, the 'assessment selection' will be officially held, and the top ten disciples in the clan will be selected to enter the Sword Pavilion cabinet among the younger generations of the family.

Until then, all the younger generations of the clan must participate in a prediction.

The purpose of the forecast is twofold.

The first is to understand the growth of the strength of the disciples in the clan this year, and then select some of them with high talents, so as to focus on cultivation.

The second is to conduct a screening for the 'assessment selection' at the end of the year, and eliminate the strength that does not meet the standard.

Compared with previous years, this time's prediction is much stricter, and only those who have reached the strength of the seven-star sword attendant or above can participate in the assessment selection, competing for the only ten places that can enter the Sword Pavilion cabinet.

And those who have not reached the strength will not be selected for this year's assessment, and can only be reduced to the audience watching from the sidelines. Waiting for the arrival of the assessment selection at the end of next year.

At this moment, Han Chen's keen soul power sensed that someone was slowly walking towards his room.

Raising his eyebrows, who would come to him so early? Suddenly, the figure of a beautiful girl appeared in Han Chen's heart.

Han Chen's heart warmed, and then his heart moved, and the corners of his thin mouth curved slightly, revealing a mischievous smile.

Quickly fasten your shirt. After completely cleaning up the traces of a night's cultivation in the house, he walked to the door, grabbed the doorknob, waited for a while, and then suddenly pulled it open.

Suddenly, a girl's coquettish cry sounded outside the door, and a figure rushed towards Han Chen, Han Chen was slightly stunned, but the instinctive reaction of his body drove Han Chen to meet him, opened his arms, hugged the slender waist of the figure, and took him into his arms.

The "crunch" door opened, and the soft light of the early morning shone in, illuminating the room brightly.

I saw that Han Chen was embraced into her arms by a girl with a beautiful face, the girl was wearing a lilac dress, which made the girl's indifferent and noble temperament more prominent, and a dark purple ribbon was tied at random around the waist of the unbearable little man.

This girl is Han Ling'er, who has not been seen for months.

As early as before, Han Linger had agreed with Han Chen to participate in the prediction together.

Previously, Han Ling'er was going to call Han Chen and go to participate in the prediction together. Just walked to the door and was about to knock on the door, but at this time, the door suddenly opened, and suddenly, Han Ling'er's hand that slapped the door was empty, and one person stumbled unsteadily, and fell into the room.

And so it became what it is now.

Being held in Han Chen's arms, the strong and powerful heartbeat in Han Chen's chest clearly echoed in his ears.

Feeling the heat emitted by the big hand pressing on his waist, the heat was transmitted to his skin through the dress, making Han Linger's body soften slightly.

I saw that a touch of crimson quickly appeared on Han Ling'er's beautiful little face, and Shui Lingling's big eyes couldn't help but close tightly shyly, and her long eyelashes trembled rapidly.

Han Chen's mind was still dizzy, in fact, just now Han Chen was just about to suddenly open the porter and scare Han Ling'er, but who knew that Han Ling'er suddenly lost her balance and fell towards her. Han Chen instinctively hugged him and took him into his arms.

The tip of his nose smelled the quiet aroma on Han Linger's body, and his palm pressed on Han Linger's unbearable waist, feeling the slenderness and delicacy, Han Chen was suddenly stunned, and held Han Ling'er in his arms for a long time and did not let go.

"Brother Han Chen, let go of me" Leaning on Han Chen's arms, Han Ling'er struggled and said softly, her voice was faintly audible.

"Ah, oh" Hearing Han Linger's voice as thin as a mosquito and a fly, Han Chen suddenly woke up, and immediately blushed, especially when he felt the tremor in Han Linger's faint voice, he hurriedly let go of his arm and took a step back.

Letting go of the soft body, Han Chen suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, although that kind of nephrite felt good in his arms, but at the same time, it was also a kind of torture.

"Ahem Ling'er came so early! I'm ready, then let's go over together!" Han Chen, who was embarrassed, didn't dare to look at Han Ling'er, and immediately coughed dryly, never mentioning what had just happened, and pretended to be calm and diverted the topic.

Leaving Han Chen's strong and powerful embrace, a trace of loss flashed in Han Ling'er's heart, but then she breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time, her sour body also regained its strength.

Thinking of the two of them hugging each other so intimately just now, Han Ling'er's beautiful cheeks couldn't help but blush, and when she heard Han Ling's words, she couldn't help but bow her head and whisper.

"Hmm!"
