Chapter 17 Special Training: Cross-Level Challenge

Yan solemnly took the thick book "Record of Strange Flowers and Herbs" from Yue Guan.

He first took a quick glance at it, then simply flipped through it and felt that this was an extremely rare book on flowers and plants.

Those exotic flowers and plants that he had never come into contact with before were all described in detail in this book, and every page seemed to contain endless knowledge.

This book is not just a simple record of flowers and plants, but also a collection of the hard work of countless predecessors in exploring nature.

The book describes each exotic flower and herb in great detail, listing everything from their growth habits, required soil and climatic conditions, to their applications in medicine, alchemy, and even poison making.

What surprised Yan even more was that the book also explained in detail how to identify various similar but different plants, which would be of great help to his future practice in the wild.

As long as you study this book carefully, you will be able to identify various magical herbs in the future.

"Elder Ju, the value of this book cannot be described in words. Thank you very much."

Yue Guan waved his hand gently with a gentle smile on his face.

"As long as you are truly interested in flowers and plants, this book can be regarded as my support for you. I hope you can benefit from it."

"Yes. Elder Ju, don't worry, I will study hard and live up to your expectations."

The soft light in Yue Guan's eyes fell on Yan, and he was very pleased.

Finally, there is a young person who is willing to spend time studying flowers and plants.

"You can take the book home and read it slowly. If you encounter any confusion, feel free to come and talk to me."

"it is good."

Yue Guan thought of the external soul bone that Yan Xin had obtained, so he asked curiously:

"I heard that you obtained a set of external soul bones when you hunted soul beasts in Death Canyon this time?"

Yan smiled and nodded.

"Yes. I was lucky. I met a wounded flying fire fox. It had six thousand years of cultivation. After hunting it, I unexpectedly obtained a set of external soul bones. After absorbing them, I turned them into flaming wings."

"I see."

Yue Guan's eyes lit up.

"It is very rare for a 6,000-year-old soul beast to drop soul bones, let alone an external soul bone. Your luck is really extraordinary."

Speaking of this, Yue Guan couldn't help but recall his many years of hunting experience.

Soul bones are as precious as magical herbs, they can only be found by chance but not by force.

Among the soul beasts he hunted, there were even some fierce beasts whose cultivation was close to 100,000 years old, but none of them had such good luck as Yan.

However, seeing Yan having such an opportunity, he felt more relieved and happy.

"The external soul bone is very important to you, but your current strength is not strong enough. Remember, don't show it to outsiders easily."

"Well, I will keep your teachings in mind."

Yue Guan nodded with satisfaction.

"You, Xie Yue, and Nana, I watched them grow up, and now all three of you have broken through level 40. I am very pleased to see your maturity. Her Highness the Pope has put a lot of effort into this Soul Master Competition. You should perform well and don't let her down."

"Please rest assured, we will work hard to win the Soul Master Competition."

"Well, that's good."

With a lot of harvest, Yan left Yueguan's mansion and returned to his residence in the academy.

It was already late, but Yan was still excited.

He briefly flipped through the book "Record of Strange Flowers and Herbs", took out the two ice grass silkworm beads in the soul guide and looked at them carefully, then fell asleep with satisfaction.

The next morning, the sun shone onto the training ground of the Spirit Hall team, illuminating the vast area.

The seven team members stood there in neat rows, full of energy.
Yan, Xie Yue and Hu Liena all looked expectant because they would face a unique challenge today.

Not long after, teachers Lin Zhendong and Liu Can came slowly over.

Their arrival suddenly filled the originally quiet training ground with a tense atmosphere.

Lin Zhendong scanned everyone present with his deep eyes, and then said, "Yan, Xieyue, Nana, the three of you follow me. The rest of you, follow Teacher Liu for today's training."

"Yes!"

Everyone responded in unison, their voices firm and powerful.

Then, Lin Zhendong turned around and walked out of the academy with Yan, Xie Yue and Hu Liena.

Hu Liena was a little curious and couldn't help asking:
"Teacher Lin, aren't we training in the courtyard today?"

"Ah."

Lin Zhendong responded briefly with a mysterious smile on his face.

"I'll take you to an interesting place."

"Where?"

"You will know when you go."

The malicious smile on Lin Zhendong's face made the three of them even more curious and expectant.

They exchanged glances and wondered in their hearts what was special about this training.

The carriage bumped along outside Wuhun City, heading towards an unknown destination.

The scenery outside the window gradually became desolate, and the carriage finally stopped in a quiet valley.

After the three got off the car, they looked around and saw that they were surrounded by dense forests, quiet and mysterious.

Hu Liena asked again:
"Teacher, are you going to take us for training in the wild?"

"Ah."

Lin Zhendong nodded and continued:

"The content of this training is a cross-level challenge."

"Cross-level challenge?"

The three asked in unison, with surprised expressions on their faces.

Just as they were wondering, three figures suddenly appeared not far away and slowly walked towards them.

Lin Zhendong explained:

“I have arranged a Soul King-level opponent for each of you three, and your mission is to defeat them.

This is not a ring, but it is more cruel than a ring because there is no range limit and the winner is determined entirely by strength.

You must treat this place as a real battlefield and them as real enemies. Make use of favorable terrain and play to your greatest advantages.

If you are unable to defeat your respective opponents, then this mission will continue until you win.”

After listening to the teacher's explanation, the three of them looked at each other.

An opponent at the Soul King level means he is more than ten levels higher than them.

The task seemed arduous, but excitement and anticipation flickered in the eyes of the three.

Challenging opponents who are stronger than yourself can more easily stimulate your potential.

However, they knew very well that the possibility of failure would be greater. After all, the gap of tenth level soul power was quite large.

The three men soon came in front of everyone.

One is big and strong, one is tall and thin, and the other is shorter but looks very smart.

Judging from their appearance, they are all close to thirty years old.

There is no information about these three people in Yan's memory.

Obviously, these three people are not teachers of the Spirit Hall Academy, but may be people working for the Spirit Hall.

No one is familiar with the martial spirits and spirit skills of these three people, which undoubtedly increases the difficulty of the challenge.
