Ouyang Shang smiled and said, "Since that's the case, I can give an explanation to those who have been complaining about the Spirit Tower."

"Hurry up and leave, don't disturb my rest," Elder Bai Mei said irritably.

Ouyang Shang turned around, looked at the people who came with him, and said, "Everyone, I've always said that my teacher had his reasons for acting this way. Now you've heard it, so I don't need to explain further, right?"

No one replied.

Ouyang Shang said, "The turmoil in Demon Suppression Valley never ends. If the instructors have nothing to do in the Martial Arts Academy, they should spend some time in Demon Suppression Valley, resisting the Demon Race invasion. It's not just the responsibility of the Dragon Guard and the Defense Army; it is also something that every cultivator should do.

In the future, don't let minor matters disrupt the Martial Arts Academy. Do you all understand?"

A group of instructors bowed their heads and agreed.

"Then let's leave, don't disturb my teacher's rest."

Once the group of instructors left.

Ouyang Shang turned again to look at Elder Bai Mei and asked, "Teacher, have you discovered anything else?"

Elder Bai Mei stared at Ouyang Shang.

This guy, taking advantage of the opportunity, knocked some people down and tried to explore some secrets.

However, Elder Bai Mei knows well who Ouyang Shang is; he is principled, and his principle is Cangxing Martial Arts Academy!

"Don't probe into Ye Chen's secrets; as for Huang Qinglan... there's a problem. She became an Earth Seal Spirit Master through Six Groups of Spirit Patterns, one of which has the characteristic of devouring. She likely used this devouring trait to ascend from the most mediocre Tier One Spirit Master to an Earth Seal Spirit Master.

Go check out the assignments Huang Qinglan was on, and those Star Spirit System disciples who met their demise with her, see what Spirit Pattern characteristics they possessed."

Ouyang Shang said, "The information has been tampered with, but I checked in advance. The Star Spirit System disciples who perished alongside Huang Qinglan had Spirit Pattern characteristics of ice, fire, water flow, explosive, and piercing."

A cold light flashed in Elder Bai Mei's eyes!

"Teacher, no rush," Ouyang Shang replied.

"You've known for a while that there's something wrong with Huang Qinglan?" Elder Bai Mei said, his tone very affirmative.

If you didn't already know there was a problem, why would Ouyang Shang investigate such matters?

"Ouyang Shang, your principle is Cangxing Martial Arts Academy, but you know about this matter and remain indifferent. What exactly do you want to do?!" Elder Bai Mei's tone became much heavier.

He originally thought he knew this disciple well.

But now, Elder Bai Mei realized he knew too little about Ouyang Shang.

Ouyang Shang said, "Some things aren't confirmed yet, but the truth will certainly come to light."

"You've hinted at various matters to me repeatedly, including the previous Heaven Concealing Secret Technique, yet each time you leave me hanging. Ouyang Shang, I can't comprehend what matter has made you so cautious.

Could it be just because you saw a glimpse of the future with the Heaven Concealing Secret Technique?

The future is unpredictable; that's a principle you understand.

The future you see is merely a possibility based on the current trajectory. Any variable can completely alter the future you perceive.

Yu Sheng brought the Heaven Concealing Secret Technique to you; perhaps he intends to mislead you."

Elder Bai Mei's tone was very serious!

Ouyang Shang pondered for a moment and suddenly said, "Teacher, if one day I draw my sword against you, what will you do?"

As he said this, what appeared in his mind was the future he saw, where Ye Chen cleaved open a sea of blood with a single sword, aiming his blade at a group of Cangxing Martial Arts Academy members.

Elder Bai Mei frowned.

Ouyang Shang said, "Just a casual remark, teacher; I'll take my leave now."

As the words fell.

Ouyang Shang's figure flickered and vanished from where he stood.

......

Inside the Spirit Tower.

Ye Chen was unaware of these matters.

He withdrew the Spiritual Power he had previously projected; though there was some loss, fortunately, it wasn't significant, and the Spirit Tower's energy made it quick to replenish.

Time passed day by day.

Under the nurturing of Spiritual Power, Ye Chen's two Extreme Celestial Spirit Seals grew stronger, their golden light becoming ever more radiant and dazzling, like two golden suns illuminating his Sea of Consciousness World in majestic splendor.

On the fifth day!

Ye Chen discovered that the two golden Extreme Celestial Spirit Seals had reached their limit and could no longer absorb Spiritual Power.

The opportunity for a breakthrough had arrived!

The next moment, Ye Chen controlled the two seals to merge together.

"Bang bang bang!"

Like the powerful heartbeat sounds emanating from within the spirit seals.

The previously saturated spirit seals appeared once more to desperately crave Spiritual Power, and Ye Chen generously supplied it with an ample amount, directing a large influx of Spiritual Power toward the spirit seals!

Another day passed!

"Boom!"

Ye Chen's spirit seals suddenly emitted a sound like the creation of the world.

Immediately following this, two beams of golden light shot out from the spirit seal.

The two beams of golden light separated and crystallized into two golden spirit seals.

Thus.

Ye Chen successfully broke through to become a Tier Three Ultimate Celestial Seal Spirit Master.

The sharpness and vigor of the three spirit seals were several times stronger than at Tier Two.

In addition.

The golden light of the spirit seals warmly illuminated his Sea of Consciousness World.

Clouds of gray mist drifted from every corner of the Sea of Consciousness World.

Once again, his soul was nourished and manifested.

Moreover, this time the manifestation of the soul no longer vanished as it did before.

This signifies.

His soul's strength has reached a solidified state.

When the soul's intensity is insufficient, the soul exists everywhere in the Sea of Consciousness, protected by its barriers.

Once the soul reaches a certain intensity, it begins to gather, continuously enhancing and strengthening. Then one can use the soul for some mystical techniques.

For example.

Soul projection leaving the body.

A wisp of remnant soul reborn.

Of course, the most important thing is, after the soul manifests, you can directly cultivate the soul, instead of just cultivating spiritual power.

The origin of spiritual power is the soul.

Previously, cultivating spiritual power was actually nurturing the soul in return.

Now, directly cultivating the soul targets the source, yielding better results!

Under Ye Chen's control, the gray mist began to gather together.

At the moment, the soul cannot manifest and can only present itself in this form.

Three Spirit Seals floated beside the gray soul mist, slowly rotating around the soul mist.

"There's one day left to cultivate in the Spirit Tower, better not waste it. In one day's time, the soul mist should be stabilized," Ye Chen murmured to himself.

The soul mist is currently in a relatively loose state and can easily disperse again into the barriers of the Sea of Consciousness. However, the energy within the Spirit Tower significantly enhances this aspect.

Ye Chen began to absorb vigorously.

As for these few days, there hasn't been a shortage of energy in the Spirit Tower, which Ye Chen doesn't give much thought to.

It's there, so he absorbs it.

In fact.

The reason why the Spirit Tower's energy is always abundant is because, for the past few days, the entire Spirit Tower has been solely for his use!

......

And on this day.

A piece of news spread throughout the entire Cangxing Martial Arts Academy.

The Star Spirit System proposed a sparring session with the Spirit Martial System.

At this time, Liu Meng'Er returned from a mission, and on behalf of the Spirit Martial System, she accepted!

In front of the Crumbling Cliff.

Yuan Polu looked at Liu Meng'Er and said, "Junior Sister, Huang Qinglan is back. It's said she's now a Tier Four Earth Seal Spirit Master with six spirit pattern characteristics. Just a few days ago, she faced off with Junior Brother in the Spirit Tower and was heavily defeated by him.

This time, it's likely Huang Qinglan wants revenge, prompting the Star Spirit System to propose this sparring. You shouldn't have impulsively accepted, especially since my strength is completely lost now, and Junior Brother is still cultivating in the Spirit Tower. Our Spirit Martial System only has you..."

"Senior Brother, I know what the Star Spirit System is planning, which is why I agreed to their sparring," Liu Meng'Er replied. "They want revenge on Junior Brother. If I didn't agree, they would still propose the sparring. And if Junior Brother came out of the Spirit Tower, with his temperament, he would accept too.

Instead of that.

I agreed first, seizing the opportunity before Junior Brother exits the Spirit Tower, to suppress the Star Spirit System's members. That way, Junior Brother won't need to face these risks."

"But Huang Qinglan's strength is indeed formidable, a Tier Four Earth Seal Spirit Master with six spirit pattern characteristics. She's not an opponent easy to deal with." Yuan Polu clenched his fists, feeling anguished within.

He is the senior brother of the Spirit Martial System.

And when trouble arises, he can do nothing.

Leaving only his junior sister and junior brother to face things!

......

The next day.

Meng Changtian, Vice Dean of the Star Spirit System, led a group of people to the Martial Arts Arena of Cangxing Martial Arts Academy.

Originally, they initiated this sparring session hoping to wait for Ye Chen to come out of the Spirit Tower, then force Ye Chen to accept.

But Liu Meng'Er unexpectedly returned and accepted directly, leaving them with no choice but to let the disciples of the Star Spirit System spar with Liu Meng'Er first.

To stall for time.

Ye Chen would emerge from the Spirit Tower then. At that time, the arrangements around the Spirit Tower would inform him immediately, ensuring Ye Chen would surely come.

Huang Qinglan stood beside Meng Changtian, a sinister look in her eyes.

She had suffered severe damage to her Sea of Consciousness days ago, recovering at great cost.

Today, she would stand in the Martial Arts Arena and wash away the disgrace in front of everyone!

Having suffered twice at Ye Chen's hands, resulting in the utter humiliation of this otherwise dazzling Earth Seal Spirit Master, thinking of this brought a choking feeling to Huang Qinglan's chest, intensifying her hatred for Ye Chen!

Yuan Polu and Liu Meng'Er also arrived at the Martial Arts Arena.

"Vice Dean Meng, our Spirit Martial System has agreed to the spar, but my junior brother is still in the Spirit Tower, so only my junior sister can participate. According to the academy's rules, one person can fight a maximum of three matches," Yuan Polu said.

Three matches.

A swift conclusion.

Once the sparring ends, if Ye Chen hasn't emerged from the Spirit Tower, the matter would be considered passed.

Meng Changtian glanced at Yuan Polu, maintaining an unchanged expression.

Huang Qinglan snorted coldly and said, "Since we've agreed to the spar, naturally everyone from the Spirit Martial System counts as participants. Yuan Polu, even now, you are still a part of the Spirit Martial System, and you too have three matches."

Yuan Polu instantly clenched his fists!

"Huang Qinglan, don't go too far!" Liu Meng'Er shouted angrily.

The entire Unparalleled County knows that her senior brother Yuan Polu has lost his cultivation.

Yet Huang Qinglan insists that her senior brother participates in three matches… How can he fight? This was clearly an attempt to humiliate her senior brother, and delay until her junior brother Ye Chen emerged from the Spirit Tower.

Huang Qinglan sneered, "Liu Meng'Er, how am I going too far? These are the rules of Cangxing Martial Arts Academy, and what I said is within those rules. If you think it's excessive, are you questioning the Dean who set the rules?"

"My senior brother's cultivation is lost…"

Before Liu Meng'Er could finish, Huang Qinglan interrupted, saying, "His cultivation is lost, but he hasn't been removed from the Spirit Martial System. And he came to the Martial Arts Arena!

Having lost his cultivation, becoming useless; if the Spirit Martial System must keep this worthless being, then they must bear the consequences.

Liu Meng'Er, don't even try to use this loss of cultivation to seek sympathy. In the Cultivation Realm, weakness is a fault, and sympathy cannot be expected.

Besides, hasn't your Spirit Martial System always boasted of being strong? What, has the Spirit Martial System turned into cowards?"

Huang Qinglan's words were notably harsh, her tone acutely sharp.

She raised her head high in pride, feeling a deep sense of satisfaction in her heart!
