39: There's definitely something wrong with this cave!

In the primal origin space.

The moment Chu Yuan broke through to the Spirit Absorption Realm, some changes occurred on the light screen before his eyes.

Name: Chu Yuan

...Physique: 230 (Current Realm Limit: 400)

Spiritual Energy: 60 (Current Realm Limit: 200)

Spiritual Energy Intensity: 100 (Current Realm Limit: 400)

Soul Intensity: 200 (Current Realm Limit: 400)

...Seeing this change, Chu Yuan couldn't help but show a joyful expression.

He clenched his fist, feeling the changes in his body, and murmured, "After breaking through, my physique also became stronger?"

"Shennan, add..."

"Bah!"

"Replicate Spiritual Energy!"

"Strengthen Physique!"

"Strengthen Spiritual Energy Intensity!"

"Strengthen Soul Intensity!"

Chu Yuan said one after another, and as his voice fell, the four values on the light screen changed rapidly.

He sat cross-legged, circulating his Cultivation Technique to drive the Spiritual Energy into the ren and du meridians.

One was to familiarize himself with the control of the extra Spiritual Energy, and the other was to adapt to the changes in his body.

It must be said, the primal divine crystal was truly amazing!

In just a moment, the Spiritual Energy in his body once again reached saturation.

Next, he only needed to continue breaking through the blockages in the other six meridians among the Eight Extraordinary Meridians, connecting them to his Dantian and ren and du meridians, and he could break through to the Middle Stage of the Spirit Absorption Realm!

However, Chu Yuan was not in a hurry.

Although the enhancements brought by the primal divine crystal felt very solid and not at all superficial.

But with his strength rapidly increasing, Chu Yuan himself needed to adapt as quickly as possible and reach a state of complete control.

Otherwise, if he had strength but couldn't exert it, that would be the real crisis.

Chu Yuan naturally understood this principle. He got up, took his sword, and practiced the Meteor Sword Technique, attempting to adapt to the changes in his body.

A moment later, Chu Yuan's figure suddenly disappeared and reappeared in the cave.

"Clang!"

As soon as Chu Yuan appeared, he felt a punch coming and quickly raised his sword to block.

With a clang of metal, Chu Yuan was sent flying backward by a powerful force.

He used the momentum to retreat a dozen steps, then looked coldly at the Youth in Black Robes.

"Your Excellency, do you really want to fight?"

However, the Youth in Black Robes showed no intention of replying. His figure flickered, and he rushed over.

Seeing this, Chu Yuan's expression turned cold, and he raised his sword, charging forward proactively.

"Clang!"

"Clang!"

The clang of metal continued to resound. Chu Yuan, relying on his physique which far surpassed others in the same Realm.

And his Transcendent Meteor Sword Technique, actually fought the Youth in Black Robes to a standstill.

The opponent couldn't hurt him, and he couldn't hurt the opponent, leading to a stalemate.

After several moves, Chu Yuan also discovered the opponent's abnormality.

Not a person!

That's right!

The opponent was not a person, nor a Yao Beast; it seemed like a lifeless machine?

Wait!

Machine?

Chu Yuan suddenly thought of something, his eyes narrowing slightly, and he had a guess:

Could this be a Puppet?

Chu Yuan thought of the previous battle, and the brightness in his eyes deepened, "Perhaps, only this explanation makes sense."

Having guessed this, Chu Yuan was no longer in a hurry and continued to fight with it.

A matched fight!

This was the best sparring partner for honing one's combat skills!

Wouldn't it be a pity to waste it?

Thus, the clang of metal continued to echo in the cave, accompanied by occasional tremors.

Half an hour later.

Chu Yuan felt that he had almost mastered his own strength, so he entered the primal origin space.

But not long after, he charged out again.

The battle continued!

But something that surprised Chu Yuan happened.

Still a matched fight?

How was this possible?

He was now in the Middle Stage of the Spirit Absorption Realm, and his physique, Soul Intensity, and the other four attributes had all reached their current limits.

Even with this, it was still a matched fight?

"No, this isn't right!"

"Something is very wrong!"

Chu Yuan exclaimed in surprise, but for a moment, he couldn't figure out what the problem was.

Aside from his sword being unable to break through the defense, and the strength of both being similar, there seemed to be nothing else?

Wait!

Similar?

Chu Yuan suddenly realized that the Youth in Black Robes had also become stronger.

"There's a problem here!"

Chu Yuan murmured with a frown.

While fighting the Youth in Black Robes, he tried to observe the Youth in Black Robes and the cave.

The Youth in Black Robes showed no abnormality, still with dull eyes, only knowing how to attack.

And within the cave, everything seemed quite normal.

Aside from what he had seen before, and the slight damage caused by their battle, there was nothing else.

Seeing that he couldn't find any abnormality, Chu Yuan didn't bother to investigate further.

His expression shifted slightly, and he continued to fight the Youth in Black Robes.

Honing combat skills was one thing, and using this battle to control his suddenly increased strength was also an extremely important matter.

With such high-intensity combat, controlling his rapidly increasing strength seemed to become much faster.

Time quietly slipped away.

Chu Yuan didn't know how much time had passed, but he had already traveled to and from the primal origin space three times.

At this moment, with his strength at the Perfection of the Spirit Absorption Realm, the battle between him and the Youth in Black Robes was still a matched fight!

He had figured it out!

To have such a Puppet guarding this place, there must be a secret within this cave!

However, what puzzled him was why the Puppet's strength was always a little stronger than his?

Chu Yuan didn't figure it out for a while, and coupled with the high-intensity battle, he didn't think much about it.

"Since I can't do anything to you, I'll leave this place first!"

Chu Yuan murmured, and using another collision, he directly stepped into the passage he had come through.

The moment he left the cave, the Youth in Black Robes' figure paused, then suddenly disappeared.

Seeing that the Youth in Black Robes did not pursue him, Chu Yuan's eyes narrowed slightly, lost in thought.

"There must be a problem here!"

He murmured, then quickly walked out of the cave and arrived outside.

At this moment, the sky had already brightened!

A ray of morning light fell from the east, and the soft sunlight shone on Chu Yuan's face.

"Has a whole night passed?" Chu Yuan murmured, his eyes slightly narrowed.

"Sister Yaner and the others must be worried. I should go back and check on them first!"

Saying this, his figure flickered, and he rushed back in the direction of Xiao Huang Village... Xiao Huang Village.

At the village entrance, all the villagers were gathered here.

Today was supposed to be a good day for threshing and distributing grain in the village, which should have been a happy occasion.

But at this moment, the villagers were gathered together, their faces filled with panic, hurrying towards the Ancestral Hall.

Zhang Xiangwen and Zhao Jun, on the other hand, stood on the village wall with the Guard Team, looking outside with grave expressions.

Outside the village, seven Fire Fox Demons had already gathered.

And one of them, Zhang Xiangwen and the others had seen before; it was the one that attacked them two days ago.

If it were just that one from before, Zhang Xiangwen and the others, being in the village, with the village protecting bell to deter and suppress it, would not have been afraid.

But there were three weaker than it, and two on par with it!

And there was one more... "Second-Tier!"

Zhao Jun's expression was heavy, and he looked at the leading Fire Fox Demon with a grim face.

Compared to the other Fire Fox Demons, this one was slightly larger in size.

Its Aura was also stronger!

Zhao Jun had seen this kind of Aura before; it was a Second-Tier Demon Beast!

Hearing Zhao Jun's words, everyone's expressions immediately sank, and a hint of despair appeared in their eyes.
