I only have passive skills and I am extremely cautious

Chapter 225 Bei Xuan Labyrinth
After the first round, there will be a one-week rest period.

However, the empire did not reduce its enthusiasm because of the temporary end of the game. Instead, under the catalysis of another incident, it reached a high degree of expansion and directly exploded.

That was the change of the Lei family!
This matter cannot be hidden at all, the high-level people are almost dead, and the other hostile families are not fools, so it is easy to get news.

The entire empire was in panic, and all kinds of rumors and rumors emerged endlessly for a while.

Who doesn't panic?
Even the emperor Yu Yongren was extremely concerned and has been busy with this matter during this time.

While the whole country was concentrating on the competition, one of the three great families in the imperial capital was massacred by a mysterious killer, and the key tribunal and other institutions could not find any clues.

This is the reason why the people panic, especially those small and big families in the imperial capital. Everyone is in danger for a while, for fear of being found.

Moreover, the White Tower Federation and the God Cult Empire took the opportunity to fan the flames and kept posting rumors on the Internet, trying to make this muddy water even more chaotic.

Yu Lingli was also very busy, but with his help, all kinds of clues were led to the other two empires, which had nothing to do with Chen Zhong anyway.

The instigator kept his ears to the outside world and devoted himself to making troubles with Jia Shuangshuang.

As for what to do?

Of course, it is to study how to make Jia Shuangshuang stronger... Big!

As his personal imperial spiritual weapon master, Jia Shuangshuang's progress in cultivation should not be too decadent. Even with the assistance of earth-level exercises, it is still a bit slow in Chen Zhong's eyes.

But he understands better that the method of counterproductive growth is not good, so he can only seek it slowly.

But there is one thing that she can use, and that is the heart of the ancient soul obtained in Qian Ge Ancient Battlefield!

Anyway, if I don’t need it myself, it’s a pity to keep it, but to give it to others or sell it is even more wasteful.

Therefore, Chen Zhong felt that it was the best choice to use it on the person he trusted the most.

The little Juggernaut wants to use this Heart of Steady Sword Dao, from which he can see some of the effects of the Heart of the Ancient Soul.

As a fifth-grade treasure, improving the realm of cultivation is the most basic, but this is not the real function of the heart of the ancient soul. It is so precious that it strengthens the internal organs and tempers the spiritual will!
The direct effects may include: doubling and increasing personal will, not being afraid of the spell of charm, seeing through illusions, and being immune to mind control under circumstances where the strength is not much different.

There is also an effect that even those at the Grandmaster level covet - the surface of the heart is covered with a layer of ancient soul protection, which can resist fatal damage at critical moments until the energy of the ancient soul is exhausted.

"Eat it directly?" Chen Zhong held the glowing heart of the ancient soul, he couldn't hold it, and he couldn't help doubting the authenticity of the method in the ancient book.

This is a fifth-grade treasure, even if the energy is mild and harmless, it can't be so hasty, right?
Jia Shuangshuang next to him looked curiously at the heart-shaped light ball that was still beating, "If I can become stronger, it doesn't matter, I'm willing to give it a try."

"Try it?" Chen Zhong frowned, "What if..."

"That's right, what if I get choked?" Jia Shuangshuang joked, and after a few seconds said seriously, "If I can help you more, I really..."

"Don't try to impress me with nasty words. Where is your cautious temper? You must go through the process. You go and sit down obediently, and take a few pills to protect the internal organs of the meridians!"

Chen Zhong got up after giving serious instructions, closed the doors and windows, and then paced around in circles, "I'll make some preparations first, so I'll be prepared."

Therefore, Chen Zhong spent a whole day arranging the gathering array, healing array, hemostasis array, concentrating array, emetic array, body protection array, freezing array, explosion-proof array...

Many auxiliary spirit arrays that are rarely used in daily life are all in battle, overlapping in the room, the walls, floors, ceilings, desks, beds, and cabinets are all densely packed with lines of spirit arrays and cumbersome spirit seals.

Jia Shuangshuang watched Chen Zhong's every move silently, neither playing on the phone nor sleeping, just watching in a daze.

"He is so busy because of me. I must not let him down. I must become stronger and stronger. When I become an adult, I will give him... a little Chen Zhong! Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh What are you thinking about!"

Jia Shuangshuang started to attack by herself, completely unaware that Chen Zhong had been standing in front of her for several minutes.

"Are you blushing like a bubble teapot? Are you racing inside your skull again?" Chen Zhong looked helpless, and pinched Jia Shuangshuang's pink ears a little harder.

When he said this, Jia Shuangshuang blushed even more.

"Okay, hurry up." Chen Zhong twisted Jia Shuangshuang from the sofa and threw it into the center of the ground.

"Oh... take it easy~"

"Please don't make strange noises."

Chen Zhong handed her the heart of the ancient soul, and the attitude of the two became serious in an instant.

Jia Shuangshuang smiled, swallowed it without a moment's hesitation, and then slowly operated the exercises, waiting for the change.

She knew that Chen Zhong would not harm her.

To be honest, Chen Zhong was a little nervous, even though he had confirmed the heart of the ancient soul with Ni Hengxiu, even though he had read the ancient books several times, he still felt a little nervous.

Take a deep breath, take a deep breath!
Gradually calming down, he observed carefully. As Jia Shuangshuang's only backing, he had to take responsibility, and being meticulous was the best response.

For the first 1 minute, nothing changed at all.

No.60 At one second, Jia Shuangshuang was glowing with a dark golden streamer. She was like a hollow porcelain doll, her clothes and skin were illuminated almost transparently, and she could clearly see the bones and internal organs inside, and even the blood flowing in the blood vessels.

Hey guys, explicit photos appear in front of people!

To Chen Zhong's relief, Jia Shuangshuang didn't look distressed, her face looked like she was asleep, and it was a little... strange?
As the energy of the ancient soul entered Jia Shuangshuang's heart, the golden light subsided, and a dull and oppressive atmosphere began to fill the room.

When the most critical moment came, Chen Zhong didn't even dare to take a breath.

Who would have thought that Jia Shuangshuang's expression gradually changed, as if she was enjoying herself?
"uh-huh……"

She panted unconsciously, her exposed skin was flushed strangely, and her empty eyes were blurred.

"Gu..."

Chen Zhong swallowed his saliva like never before, and quickly took a sip of ice water to refresh his mind.

This heart of the ancient soul is a bit unscrupulous, isn't it?

Or is it that people are not serious?

Chen Zhong thought that this was the end of the matter, but unexpectedly, the torment had just begun.

Maybe it was because the heart of the ancient soul really didn't suffer much, Jia Shuangshuang kept humming.

Chen Zhong seriously suspected that Jia Shuangshuang did it on purpose!

Suddenly, the panting stopped abruptly.

Chen Zhong was startled, and quickly concentrated on it.

At this moment, Jia Shuangshuang's heart was covered by a layer of dark golden light patterns, one of which moved upwards and entered the center of Jia Shuangshuang's eyebrows.

Refining the soul, tempering the will!
Time passed by every minute and every second, the night turned white, the blue sky turned black, and Chen Zhong didn't move his position all day and night.

The Spirit Gathering Formation and Concentration Formation in the room were running quietly, and there was light smoke in the air.

The mental tempering is complete, and finally the level is raised.

Jia Shuangshuang opened her eyes, the light was flowing in her eyes, she blinked blankly, then her complexion changed suddenly, her delicate body trembled, "No more!"

Chen Zhong knew that she was talking about the realm level, so he said immediately, "Steady your mind, use your will to suppress it, and stack it like bricks!"

puff--

After several twists and turns, everything ended safely.

"The fifth floor of the Blood Surge Realm? It's okay. If you don't suppress it, you will probably rush to the peak of the Blood Surge Realm, but that will make your spiritual power vain, and you will need to spend too much unnecessary time getting used to it. The safest." Chen Zhong patted Jia Shuangshuang's head in relief, "Go and take a bath."

Jia Shuangshuang was stunned, sniffed her arm, blushed, turned around and slipped into the toilet.

"call."

Chen Zhong let out a long breath, forgetting one thing.

Next, it's not time to be idle.

Two hours later, in a barren mountain far away from the capital, Chen Zhong brought Xiaobai here.

The goal is simple - to absorb the blood of the ancient dragon!

The spirit of senior Jinlong shocked Chen Zhong, and he also understood the reality. Even a strong man at the level of a bald giant cannot stand alone in the face of the evil tide. Can survive?

Besides, he who was supposed to be a lone wolf now has a little more concern.

It's deadly and suffocating.

Of course, Chen Zhong had to give half of the ancient dragon blood to Xiao Baiyun. It was a dragon species, and the benefits of pure dragon essence blood to it would naturally explode.

"We each have half of this thing." Chen Zhong casually took out the small beads.

Xiao Bai instantly turned into a stone statue, his long eyes widened, and he knelt down uncontrollably, the process was smooth and smooth.

"This... this is... the Golden Dragon Blood Essence!"

"I... how dare I... really give me half?"

As Xiaobai spoke, he shed teardrops the size of his fist, which fell to the ground with a bang.

"Well, I should know how to absorb your instinct, you should find a place and hurry up."

The small beads are not hard, and they can be squeezed into two pieces with a little force, one big and one small.

Chen Zhong naturally threw the big one to Xiaobai, Xiaobai saw it in his eyes and kept it in his heart, burst into tears of gratitude.

Then it turned into a small snake, swallowed it in one gulp, occupied a bird's nest, and disturbed the happiness of the two birds inside.

Chen Zhong first dug a deep hole in the ground, jumped into it and then buried it, leaving some seams for ventilation.

Although there are already more than a dozen spirit formations around, this is the imperial capital after all, so it's better to be careful.

At this time, Chen Zhong swallowed the dragon's blood.

As for why he is so refreshing, the answer: this is not his body.

The effect of this passive skill shows that 100% of the benefits obtained by the avatar are fed back to the main body, so it is the same for anyone who eats it.

However, something happened that stunned him.

The dragon's blood melted in the mouth and poured into the limbs frantically. When it was about to be tempered, the basalt body automatically activated.

In the blink of an eye, the ancient eighth-order dragon blood was absorbed by the basalt body!
Like a small splash of water kicked up by a small stone?

"This... is it over?"

Chen Zhong was at a loss, he didn't feel anything, it was over.

In the next second, the pure power of the dragon's blood was manifested, and golden streamlines appeared on Chen Zhong's body, which gradually converged under the skin, revealing the coercion of a superior dragon clan!

The bones of the body have also strengthened...a little bit.

Simple and unpretentious to the extreme, it takes a lot of energy and energy not to shit.

One minute into the ground, Chen Zhong emerged from the inside, and jumped onto the branch of the tree bored to see Xiao Bai go.

Compared with Chen Zhong, Xiaobai is much more thrilling and exciting!

Crackling and crackling sounds continuously erupted from the body, and blue, white and gold intertwined and collided.

And its slender body has deformed and swelled, like a long sea urchin.

After realizing that Xiaobai was in pain, Chen Zhong played out the hand formula, the concentration formation and the healing formation were activated, and soft light marks entered his body, relieving the pressure and severe pain.

The sun is setting, and the moon and stars are sparse tonight.

It wasn't until after five o'clock in the morning that Xiaobai finished absorbing the dragon's blood.

"Hey—"

It raised its head and roared, changing its shape.

The original pair of funny little wings were gone, and the whole snow-white body of the dragon had some golden scales. Between the four claws, there was a small bulge faintly, which was a sign of the growth of the fifth claw.

There are three delicate golden blue dragon horns on the head, which is so cute.

The overall volume is small, with a body length of only more than 100 meters, but it is perfect, just like a beautiful ice sculpture.

The current Xiaobai has completely lost his snake shape, and is a proper ice and snow dragon!
More importantly... Xiaobai broke through to the fifth level!
Chen Zhong couldn't imagine how powerful the fifth-order high-level dragon was.

With today's Xiaobai, Jia Shuangshuang's personal safety can be at ease.

"Thank... thank you, master, I..." Xiao Bai was incoherent and extremely excited.

Chen Zhong waved his hand and said with a smile, "I don't like to hear these things, you just need to protect Shuangshuang well, that's the best reward for me."

"Eh?" Xiao Bai suddenly tilted his head, "Why is Master's... dragon coercion stronger than mine?"

Chen Zhong spread his hands, "This has touched my blind spot of knowledge."

……

Some people are happy and some are sad, not only Lei's house is covered with white cloths, but the Yan Prison is now also full of gloomy clouds.

"Who killed my apprentice!" the Lord of the Prison of Fire shouted angrily, and set off the Yanjiang River hundreds of meters with his slap.

Everyone below trembled, unable to answer.

"Check! List all the suspects, and I will greet their whole family personally!"

After the order was issued, all members of the Yan Prison acted, listing all the thousands of contestants and discharging them one by one.

But they have no clue.

"When I was out with the elder brother, I heard that... the Lei family and the Yan family's elder brother... killed someone." An unremarkable member reported upwards.

"Who!!!"

"Chen Zhong from Tianyan Academy."

……

A week passed and the second round was just around the corner.

Some contestants were forced to withdraw from the competition because their injuries did not recover.

The second round of the competition will not be broadcast live, and everyone just needs to wait for the result silently.

The venue of the competition was also announced that day, it was located in the public area bordering the Scarlet Flame Empire and the God Sect Empire - Beixuan Labyrinth!
Early in the morning, dozens of people boarded the military's battle airship, steam gushed out, and Jia Shuangshuang and others looked up to see them off.

"I heard that there is a real land of ice and snow, and we will also meet spirit warriors from the God Cult Empire!" Yuan Wucha whispered excitedly.

"The god religion empire?" Chen Zhong thought of Roja, the spy he planted.

Due to various reasons, sooner or later, I will collide with the Pantheon Cult of the God Cult Empire. The root cause is that the God Cult Empire is too restless, otherwise I would not have their ideas.

The discussion on the airship gradually disappeared, and everyone was doing things quietly.

The temperature dropped more and more, and soon dropped above zero.

A look at the thermometer, more than 20 degrees below zero!
"Beixuan Labyrinth Town is coming soon. It's not as peaceful as Zhongyue Labyrinth Town. Please be careful." A major general of the Imperial Army said seriously.

"The specific rules and content of the competition will be discussed in detail later. Everyone checks the equipment and supplies now to see if the most important holy spring is sufficient. If it is not enough, come to me to get it." The person in charge of the competition introduced earnestly.
