"When did I ever attack someone unexpectedly? Did you feel any fluctuation in Inner Qi?"

Jiang Chen glanced casually at Lu Yiqiu and continued familiarizing himself with the Pill Furnace.

A Pill Master must be familiar with their Pill Furnace; the structure and material of the furnace can affect the elixir refining results.

"Although I didn't feel any Inner Qi fluctuation, it's impossible for your Soul Strength to surpass his. You must have used some despicable means!"

Lu Yiqiu shouted angrily, with a powerful aura erupting from his body, raising his hand to slap Jiang Chen.

"Elder Lu!"

A shout rang out as Fu Lengfeng leapt in front of Jiang Chen, standing between the two.

Lin Jiuxiao and others stood up, ready to intervene at any moment.

"Elder Fu, what do you mean? Are you going to cover for him?" Lu Yiqiu looked coldly at Fu Lengfeng.

Fu Lengfeng spoke indifferently: "You seem to forget that we eight are not the only witnesses of this Elixir Conference; there are six in the sky watching. If Head of the Jiang Family really employed some trickery, do you think they wouldn't notice?"

Lu Yiqiu glared at Fu Lengfeng fiercely. How could he forget this matter? He just wanted to take this opportunity to deal with Jiang Chen. Now that Fu Lengfeng highlighted it, he naturally couldn't question further, otherwise, it would be a challenge to those in the sky!

With a turn of his eyes, Lu Yiqiu spoke gravely: "Fine, even if he didn't use any schemes, this kid's Soul Power is definitely problematic. Remember, Chen Boting has already condensed a Soul Embryo. How could he be dispersed by him unless... his Soul Power possesses Soul Devouring Power!"

"Soul Devouring Power?!"

"Isn't Soul Devouring Power an ability of the Soul Devouring Group?"

"Could it be that Jiang Chen is a member of the Soul Devouring Group?!"

"This… that would be the only explanation. Otherwise, how could his Soul Strength surpass Chen Boting!"

People from various forces exclaimed and looked at Jiang Chen with a hint of hostility!

Fu Lengfeng felt a sense of absurdity. When Fu Ling'er sent the information, the Great Elders of Elixir Valley already had a copy of Jiang Chen's data.

How many bases of the Soul Devouring Group did Jiang Chen destroy in two years? How many people from the Soul Devouring Group did he kill? How could he possibly be a member of the Soul Devouring Group!

This is pure slander!

"Elder Lu, you..." Fu Lengfeng spoke gravely.

"Elder Fu!"

A shout interrupted Fu Lengfeng as Jiang Chen finished his examination of the Pill Furnace and turned to Lu Yiqiu: "What do you want? Would you like us to compare Soul Power directly? The consequences are yours to bear, how about it?"

Fu Lengfeng was stunned for a moment, looking at Jiang Chen in astonishment, and said hurriedly: "Head of the Jiang Family, Elder Lu's Soul Strength has already reached the realm of manifestation, you..."

"Fine!"

Before Fu Lengfeng finished speaking, Lu Yiqiu shouted out: "Jiang Chen, this is your proposal, so let me test whether your Soul Strength surpasses Chen Boting's and whether it possesses Devouring Power!"

"Damn! Jiang Chen wants to compare Soul Power with Elder Lu? Is he crazy?"

"Hehe! How arrogant! All seven Great Elders of Elixir Valley have already reached the realm of Soul Manifestation, and he dares to compete with Elder Lu in Soul Strength? He's courting death!"

"Elder Lu, teach that arrogant kid a lesson for causing trouble at Elixir Valley!"

People inclined towards Elixir Valley shouted out.

Soul Manifestation Realm? Hehe!

Jiang Chen felt a trace of cold laughter in his heart.

"Head of the Jiang Family, there's no need..." Fu Lengfeng spoke hurriedly.

"Elder Fu, there's no need to persuade further, my mind is made up!" Jiang Chen interrupted Fu Lengfeng again, nodding towards him.

Fu Lengfeng frowned slightly, showing a worried expression in his eyes.

"Since Head of the Jiang Family chooses to prove his innocence, Lengfeng, step aside!" A calm voice came, and the Great Elder landed beside the group.

Fu Lengfeng looked at the Great Elder, displaying a touch of hesitation on his face.

Whoosh!

A figure appeared, Lin Jiuxiao came beside the group, speaking softly to Jiang Chen: "Mr. Jiang, there's no need for this."

"Don't worry, since Elder Lu wants to try, then let's try!" Jiang Chen gave Lin Jiuxiao a confident look, speaking with a light smile.

Lin Jiuxiao froze slightly, glancing at Lu Yiqiu, then turning towards the Great Elder: "Elder Tian, should we leave the scene then?"

Competing in Soul Power is very dangerous; if someone secretly interferes, it could cause very serious injuries to the competitors!

"Alright!"

The Great Elder responded, and together with Lin Jiuxiao and Fu Lengfeng, formed a triangle retreat, surrounding Jiang Chen and Lu Yiqiu, preventing other attacks during their Soul Power competition.

"Kid, you're courting death yourself!" Lu Yiqiu spoke coldly.

Jiang Chen smiled faintly: "Don't worry, you won't die. If I kill you, Elixir Valley won't let me participate in the Elixir Conference."

"You..."

Lu Yiqiu's eyes revealed a cold look, Jiang Chen's confidence felt like a strong insult!

Jiang Chen looked at Lu Yiqiu indifferently, raising his eyebrows lightly: "Come on, enough talking."

Before arriving at Elixir Valley, Jiang Chen specifically asked Medicine Saint about the strength of Elixir Valley's people since he needed to compete in alchemy. Medicine Saint also introduced the levels of Soul Strength.

The current Martial Dao World divides Soul Strength into four realms: Soul Pervading Body, Soul Embryo, Soul Manifestation, and Divine Soul Realm!

Soul Pervading Body allows one's soul power to extend outside the body, which most Martial Artists can achieve.

Soul Embryo requires Venerable Realm experts because only they can refine Soul Power through Heaven and Earth Vital Energy, achieving the realm where it condenses into a phantom.

Soul Manifestation is a second condensation of Soul Power, allowing the soul to form a phantom image outside the body.

The Divine Soul Realm is a realm only Saint Realm experts can reach. Upon breakthrough, Auspicious Clouds Nourishing the Body focuses on refining the soul, making it more solid. Its most obvious mark is forming a unique figure deep within the Soul origin.

After learning of these, Jiang Chen's confidence in this trip to Elixir Valley surged!

"Courting death? I'll fulfill your wish!"

A loud shout rang out, and from Lu Yiqiu's brow came a visible gray mist, slowly forming a phantom outline at his brow, seemingly humanoid.

"Soul Manifestation! Elder Lu is serious!"

"Haha! That kid is doomed, daring to provoke Elixir Valley; he's definitely finished!"

"Elder Lu revealing his soul for Soul Power competition; he's going all out!"

"Destroy that arrogant kid, he's too reckless!"

People from various forces shouted out, and the crowd in the square also looked over in this direction.
