Chapter 339: First Trial

Fang Yuxin felt even more disgusted when she saw that thing could actually move. She raised her hand and shot out a ball of fire, shooting it at the sticky substance on the blade. The flame immediately enveloped it, and then Fang Yuxin heard an extremely piercing scream coming from the flame. She was very surprised. This thing was only the size of a thumb, why was it screaming so loudly?

At this moment, she suddenly heard the sound of breaking through the air again! The difference was that this time there were actually two sounds! The two sounds overlapped perfectly. If one's ears were not sensitive enough, one would not be able to hear the subtle difference and would think there was only one sound!

Fang Yuxin frowned as she listened to the direction from which the two voices came. The two voices came from two different directions, which meant that the attacks came from two different directions! The two directions were exactly one in front of the other! There was also a gap in between, so even if she dodged, they would not collide!

Fang Yuxin was even faster. She held the hilt of the knife with both hands and slashed fiercely into the mist. At the same time, she turned quickly and slashed the blade into the mist again! Because the speed was too fast, two "pa pa" sounds were heard. At the same time, the force transmitted through the hilt of the knife became more and more powerful. Fang Yuxin was hit by the force on her palms, and her hands were immediately burning.

However, she just realized that she seemed to have cut something off. Looking at the thick fog around her, Fang Yuxin's brows tightened more and more - this couldn't go on! She couldn't see anything, it was too bad!

So the next moment, she immediately called out "Hongfen" to let it show its true form. After receiving her order, Hongfen immediately showed its true form to protect her and formed a wall. At this moment, Fang Yuxin received a thought from Hongfen: "Master, I caught something!"

Fang Yuxin was stunned at first, then she remembered that what Hongfen caught should be the thing she had cut off before! Sure enough, her guess was right. Once the thing was cut off, it would move freely. She couldn't help but feel scared. If she hadn't called Hongfen in time, she might have been attacked by surprise!

Then she looked at the blood blade in her hand in confusion, or more precisely, at the red sticky substance on the blood blade. She had just burned it with fire, but it seemed to be unfazed by fire and burned very slowly. Although it looked only the size of a thumb, it had been burning for a while but it hadn't shrunk at all, which was really weird.

At this time, there was another sound of breaking through the air, hitting the retaining wall built by Hongfen, making a "pop" sound, and then Fang Yuxin heard Hongfen crying, saying that she was hit very painfully. Hongfen had been with her for a while, and Fang Yuxin had already regarded it as a family member. Now hearing it cry in pain, Fang Yuxin also felt distressed.

So she simply asked Hongfen to lift her up with branches. Hongfen was very obedient and quickly finished it. She also intertwined the branches to form a cylindrical platform, and Fang Yuxin stood on the platform. Those things in the mist seemed to be staring at her and attacking. As soon as she appeared, the sound of breaking through the air sounded again. This time, there were three sounds, coming from three directions!

Fang Yuxin also used the blood blade to chop off some of the objects coming from three directions, and told Hongfen to catch them with a piece of paper. This time, she finally saw a rough outline.

What attacked her was a long red object. The object was shot out at a very fast speed, and because of the mist, the sound of breaking through the air was very small. If Fang Yuxin had not successfully established her foundation and had extraordinary hearing, she would not have been able to hear it at all.

This red substance is very sticky and looks disgusting, but it has no smell and is not afraid of fire, which is very strange. It first came out as one, then two, three, and then accumulated one by one.

Fang Yuxin could handle nine at most. Once ten appeared, she would not be able to cut down the last one in time. So the subsequent attacks were still ten, just like being stuck in a game.

The red thing hit her again and again, and it felt like being whipped by a thick and long whip, not to mention how uncomfortable it was. The force of the attack was extremely strong, and Fang Yuxin was whipped away every time. Fortunately, this was a trial after all, so a new round of attacks would not begin until she stood up.

If it were someone else, they would be seriously injured, but Fang Yuxin was a pure wood spirit, and her true essence could heal injuries, so once she was attacked, she would move her true essence to the injured area to heal the wound. However, in this way, her true essence was constantly consumed.

She kept adjusting herself from attack to attack, looking for a better way to counterattack, and finally, at the fifty-first time, she successfully cut off the tenth one! At this time, the thick fog around her suddenly dissipated a little, retreating to a distance of one meter around her. Fang Yuxin lowered her head and saw that the green wall formed by the red powder was covered with red sticky substances. There were only a small section of those sticky substances, which she cut off from those long red objects. After being tied up by the red powder, they were still twisting and struggling.

The pink spikes pierced into the sticky substance fiercely, but the neurotoxins released from the spikes were of no use to this thing, and it continued to twist.

What surprised Fang Yuxin was that Hongfen actually opened her buds, stretched out her pistils and bit the red sticky substance to absorb it. She hesitated for a moment, and sent a stream of true energy towards a piece of the sticky substance. As a result, the true energy full of vitality hit the sticky substance, and it suddenly melted and turned into red mist that was absorbed by Hongfen.

Fang Yuxin was a little worried and couldn't help asking Hongfen: "Hongfen, how are you? Are you okay?"

But the red powder actually said: "No, I like it, I like it very much."

Fang Yuxin was surprised. What on earth was this strange red viscous substance? It was not afraid of fire, but could be dissolved by her true essence and even absorbed by Hongfen. And from what Hongfen said, this thing should be very helpful to it.

Fang Yuxin suddenly thought that the rosy powder was a mutant plant, belonging to the wood element, and was afraid of fire, but this red sticky substance was not afraid of fire. So if the rosy powder absorbed it, would it have the characteristic of not being afraid of fire? If so, then the rosy powder absorbing these red sticky substances would indeed be of great benefit!

However, before she could think about it, a new attack began. This time, there were eleven of them! However, Fang Yuxin learned her lesson this time. As soon as the sound of breaking through the air was heard, she transformed her true essence into spiritual mist and dispersed it around her body. The mist was very light and it should not have any defensive effect. However, when those long red objects came and approached the spiritual mist, their speed slowed down a bit.

This is what Fang Yuxin wanted! Although there were eleven of them this time, it would be much easier to deal with them once they slowed down! Fang Yuxin didn't even spend much effort and easily solved them in one go!

As soon as the cut part fell, it was entangled by the red branches and absorbed continuously. Then, a new attack began!

Twelve, thirteen, fourteen...one hundred!

When the number of attacking strips increased to 100, Fang Yuxin's true essence in Dantian was almost gone and she could no longer hold on. At first, she only needed to place a small amount of spiritual mist around to successfully slow down the attack speed of these strips, but gradually, as the number of strips increased, she had to use more true essence to cut them all down!

If there wasn't a strange seed living in her dantian, forming a cyclone and continuously absorbing the surrounding spiritual energy, she would never have been able to hold on until now!

Seeing that her Dantian was about to be exhausted, a white light suddenly flashed before her eyes, and the next moment, she was back in the hall. Then she found that, except for herself, everyone else had also come out of the hall and was sitting cross-legged on the spirit gathering array, absorbing crystal cores to recover.

She looked at them one by one, and when she found that her family members were all fine, she breathed a sigh of relief, then took out the crystal core and began to absorb it. The crystal cores she had given to Fang Yuyang before were not used up at all, and Fang Yuyang returned the remaining crystal cores to her, which were just right for use now.

Fang Yuxin closed her eyes and meditated. Gradually, she found that the strange seed in her dantian had started to move. She didn't know if it was stimulated by the fact that her dantian was about to dry up, but the strange seed actually started to spin in her dantian. As it spun, the cyclone around the seed grew bigger little by little. At the same time, Fang Yuxin found that her speed of absorbing the crystal core also increased!

The cyclone grew to twice its original size before it stopped. At this time, the strange seed also stopped rotating and continued to stand still, constantly absorbing the true essence she had refined.

When Fang Yuxin came out of her training, it was already eight o'clock in the evening. She subconsciously turned her head to look at other people and found that Fang Jintang, Qu Qianhe and Bai Qianqian were all there, but Fang Yuyang was no longer in the hall. After asking, she found out that after he recovered, he actually entered the trial ground again.

Fang Yuxin was not worried. The trial ground was obviously designed very ingeniously. Once they could no longer hold on, they would be teleported out. So Fang Yuyang must be fine inside. He was so eager to practice there, probably because he wanted to build his foundation as soon as possible and improve his strength.

She was hungry at the moment, so she went to the alchemy room to cook. She stewed a pot of cordyceps chicken soup, then roasted a whole lamb, made some light side dishes, and steamed rice. When she was done, Fang Yuyang just came out of the trial ground. He meditated for a while to recover, and after dinner together, they rested for a while and then went back into the trial ground.

Fang Yuxin didn't want Fang Yuyang to work so hard. In his previous life, in order to protect her, Fang Yuyang was either practicing or looking for various supplies. He almost never stopped to rest. Now that she has finally succeeded in changing her fate, she hoped that her family could live a safe and happy life, but unexpectedly, Fang Yuyang still became a practice maniac.

But what Fang Yuxin didn’t know was that what Fang Yuyang was actually thinking in his heart was - when he successfully built his foundation and his cultivation level was above Bai Ye, he would definitely teach this bastard a lesson!
