The young man wearing soft armor was already prepared, and before the illusory sword could strike him, Lie Teng's green sword suddenly turned and plunged vertically into the young man's skull. Although he wore soft armor to resist the illusory sword, his head was unable to withstand it. Everything happened so quickly that the young man had no time to react. The green sword was inserted into the young man's skull and quickly withdrawn, with a burst of fresh blood and white brain matter flying out. The young man stared at Lie Teng with wide eyes, his face filled with fear and unwillingness, before falling straight down. Lie Teng hastily took out the token and hesitated for a moment before directly absorbing the soul. Instead, he stuck the token to the young man's abdomen, and soon saw that the "zero" character on the back of the token had become a "one". Lie Teng also felt the young man's soul being rapidly absorbed into the token.
It's true, this token absorbs souls. Why is that? Is it because the Blazing City was established as a hunting ground for souls? Lie Teng's heart slightly solidified, if so, does that mean there are people in the Blazing City who cultivate soul power? This idea was quickly denied by Lie Teng, according to the Soul Refining Technique, cultivating soul power is extremely difficult and hard to achieve. If not, then what is this soul used for? Suppressing his inner doubts, Lie Teng put the young man's storage bag and the Ling Sword that was lying on the ground into his storage ring, and flew back to the stone steps using his sword. He didn't want to challenge the next one again, but instead sat down to recover the consumed spiritual power in his body. After that, he held the token in his hand, trying to see if he could absorb the soul from it.
After trying his best, Lie Tong discovered that there was a layer of something hindering him from absorbing the soul within the token. However, what made Lie Tong slightly delighted was that this obstruction wasn't strong. Although he couldn't break through it at the moment, Lie Tong was confident that with a lot of time and effort, he could make this obstruction collapse bit by bit. Just as he was deep in thought, Lie Tong suddenly felt a gaze directed at him. He slightly turned his head to look over, and his heart skipped a beat. The person staring at him was none other than Yan Yun Long! Could it be that he had seen his own Illusory Sword? Lie Tong forced himself to calm down and smiled faintly as he nodded towards Yan Yun Long, who then indifferently closed his eyes.
As Yan Yunlong closed his eyes, Lie Teng took out the storage bag of the young man he had just killed and examined it. After a while, he pulled out a token and found that on its back was written "eleven". It seemed that this young man had already killed eleven people in the hunting ground. If one were not careful, they would easily fall into his trap. Lie Teng put the storage bag back into his ring and sat calmly, watching the battle below with a calm expression. However, in his heart, he was thinking: should I kill someone here, get the token but not hand it over? Or should I try to break through the obstacles and absorb their soul? As soon as this thought emerged, Lie Teng's heartbeat accelerated involuntarily, which would inevitably lead to a rapid increase in his soul power!
But if so, would it be discovered by the people above? Lie Tong didn't get too excited and calmed down to think carefully. If he did this, it would inevitably attract other people's attention and bring about no small trouble. Another thought emerged in Lie Tong's mind: what if he absorbed most of the soul from the token of the person he killed and handed it over? Would that be feasible? Lie Tong thought of this and held the token of the Confucian youth in his hand, using his divine sense to probe into the token and attack the obstacles within. He discovered that the token must have been tampered with, and it was very likely that someone had set up a seal, but this seal wasn't high-level either. Lie Tong was certain that if he spent more time on it, he would be able to break through it.
It took Lie Teng three whole days to break through the seal in the token, and inside the token was a small space like a storage ring. His divine sense felt eleven incomplete souls floating in the space. Lie Teng's divine sense withdrew, and he glanced around before starting to run the Soul Refining Technique to absorb the souls in the token. In the end, Lie Teng only absorbed nine of them, leaving two behind, and the "eleven" on the back of the token changed to "two". After throwing the token into the storage ring, Lie Teng began to absorb the souls and transform them into soul power.
Lieteng didn't know that in the depths of Flame City, a middle-aged man suddenly opened his eyes wide, his expression somewhat solemn. After muttering to himself for a moment, he quickly left the room and arrived at another room on the west side. Standing at the door, the man said in a low voice: "Lord Executor, Li Tian seeks an audience."
"What's going on?" After a long while, a disinterested voice finally came from within the room.
"The seal of one of the tablets under his jurisdiction has been opened," said the middle-aged man in a low voice.
There was no immediate sound from within the room, which made the middle-aged man somewhat uneasy. After all, this token was refined by himself, and it was so easy for someone to open it. If something went wrong, he would also be responsible.
"Go." Just as the middle-aged man was getting anxious, a voice came from within the room. The middle-aged man let out a sigh of relief and turned to leave.
"A buzzing sound pierced the air, and the middle-aged man's face froze in shock. He turned his head to look back, and his pupils suddenly constricted. All he saw was a black dot rapidly approaching him. Before he could react, he felt a sharp pain in his abdomen, and the spiritual energy inside him began to drain away rapidly. His eyes stared blankly ahead, still filled with confusion and fear."
In the house, two old men sat cross-legged on the floor. One of them, a fierce-looking old man with a scowl on his face, shouted: "I'd like to see who dares to put their attention on my Driving Spirit Sect!" After finishing speaking, he was about to grab the spirit sword that had returned to his side and leave, but was stopped by the white-robed old man. This old man had hair as white as a crane's and a face as youthful as a child's, with a warm smile always present on his face, giving people an inexplicable sense of closeness. The old man said: "Younger brother, calm down, don't be so rash, lest you startle the snake in the grass. I'll go take a look and see who it is and what their purpose is."
In the land of Lie Ling, Lie Teng was unaware that he had been targeted. At this moment, he was studying the Soul Refining Technique, which he had been practicing for several years. From it, he had grasped a few things and discovered that this technique was similar to cultivating Dan Hai (Elixir Ocean). He even speculated that in the end, his soul would cultivate a Soul Ocean similar to Dan Hai. However, at present, it seemed that there was still a long way to go. According to the classification of cultivation levels, his soul should still be at the stage of opening the spiritual aperture. Nevertheless, Lie Teng did not feel discouraged and instead strengthened his determination to cultivate after understanding the power of the soul.
After transforming his soul into soul power, Lie Teng once again flew towards the arena to challenge.
In the blink of an eye, a month had passed. In this one month, Lie Teng had devoured at least fifty souls, and these souls made his soul power thicker by several points. As he enjoyed the growth of his soul power, its might also grew stronger and stronger, making Lie Teng's heart bloom with joy.
