Martial Master

With a movement of his mind, Qin Chen immediately retracted his spiritual power and true energy, letting the impact of the formation against him grow stronger.

"Hmph!"

With a muffled grunt, Qin Chen's body shook, his face turning pale, swaying unsteadily.

"What a powerful pressure, but as I expected, this pressure is not sharp but very gentle. This means that as long as I grasp the right measure, it won't cause any damage to my body. Instead, it serves as a tempering for my flesh, spirit, and soul."

His eyes sparkled, and Qin Chen's excited face flushed red.

It is important to understand that for martial artists, cultivating is often not a method without any danger; rather, it should be like a spring, having both tension and relaxation, which helps the body become stronger and more resilient.

For example, the baptism in the Blood Spirit Pool, the cultivation of the Indestructible Holy Body, is achieved through continuous baptism and suppression of the physical body, leading to transformation.

However, this method has a significant drawback: if the pressure a martial artist endures is too great, not only will they fail to achieve the desired effect, but they may also severely injure their body, even becoming useless.

The reason the Blood Spirit Pool baptism is feasible is that the liquid of the Blood Spirit Pool itself has the effect of enhancing physical strength.

The Indestructible Holy Body is effective because the technique can transform the flesh, making the body stronger under oppression.

At other times, relying on forced external strength to temper the body can lead to problems if one is not careful.

But the pressure generated by the formation before him, although terrifying, is extremely gentle in nature. With appropriate control, it can greatly temper the body, spiritual power, and soul.

"Great! Now that my Indestructible Holy Body has been stuck at the second level for a long time, wanting to enter the third level is quite difficult. Now, under this formation's pressure, it is enough to allow my Indestructible Holy Body to undergo some transformation on its original foundation."

Excited, Qin Chen completely released his mind and no longer used any true energy to resist. A vast aura immediately pressed down on him like an ocean, fiercely oppressing Qin Chen.

Ugh!

With a muffled grunt, Qin Chen's figure shook violently, swaying precariously, his internal energy surging, almost spitting out blood on the spot.

The pressure was simply too terrifying.

Other martial artists were using all their true energy to resist, but Qin Chen instead retracted his true energy, purely relying on his physical body to withstand it.

This is not the same concept at all.

If it were not for Qin Chen cultivating the Indestructible Holy Body and having broken through to the second level, his pure physical strength being close to the Wuzong level, even other Xuan-level martial artists would likely have been eliminated instantly.

This scene left the others present stunned, all gaping in disbelief.

No way, the second round of assessment just started, and Qin Chen can't hold on any longer?

Looking around.

In the entire square, many geniuses, although their faces turned pale from the start, at least managed to hold on.

But how long has it been for Qin Chen? He was already swaying, with a face that was both pale and flushed; this is too weak!

"I said, this person only passed the first round through sheer luck." Someone sneered.

"It's only been a few minutes, and he can't hold on." Someone shook their head.

"Actually, in the first round, this kid might have already been eliminated. He just managed to get to the second round due to some malfunction."

"Just wait, it won't be long before he is the first one eliminated."

The mocking voices echoed outside the Ancient Southern Capital.

"Impossible, with Qin Chen's talent, how could he give up so quickly? There must be some reason."

In the region of the Great Qi Kingdom, Xiao Zhan's eyes flickered as he stared at Qin Chen, unwilling to believe that Qin Chen would lose so soon.
