When my cultivation is recovering, the sect comes to persuade me to quit? I agree!

Bai Ningruo was floating up and down in mid-air.

The Iron Hedgehog was perfectly enraged!

Since it has no way to fly, the armored hedgehog can only rely on the strength of its hind legs to leap upwards!

In this way, the entire belly is exposed!

This is the opportunity Lu Chen has been waiting for!

When he was three feet away from the armored hedgehog, Lu Chen attacked quickly.

With fists in hand, rush forward!

"Boom!"

Two dull sounds were heard.

The Iron-Armored Hedgehog was stunned for a moment, his eyes filled with disbelief.

The power seemed to burst out suddenly from between heaven and earth, and he could not resist it at all!

Although I didn't feel any pain.

But when the Iron-Armored Hedgehog looked down, he discovered that there was a large dent on his chest.

While the armored hedgehog was stunned, Lu Chen quickly retreated more than ten feet.

Then, another sprint!

At this time, the Iron-Armored Hedgehog had already realized the huge danger, and it was too late to dodge!

"Bang bang bang!"

Three more punches!

The belly exposed outside has become completely sunken!

Lu Chen leaped forward and stopped in mid-air, shoulder to shoulder with Bai Ningruo.

"Brother, let's attack together!"

Bai Ningruo saw clearly Lu Chen’s move just now.

Although Lu Chen's fists were very powerful, it was obviously not enough to rely on just a few punches to deal with the huge monster in front of him.

Lu Chen shook his head slightly, even the corners of his mouth curled up.

Without waiting for Bai Ningruo to react.

The armored hedgehog suddenly twitched.

Then, a huge hole appeared on the back!

Not only the flesh, but also the huge thorns on the body were forced out by the impact!

"One, two, three..."

Lu Chen was leisurely and contented, counting slowly.

When the fifth hole appeared, the armored hedgehog fell to the ground suddenly.

No more strength to move!

died.

There is absolutely no possibility of survival!

The armored hedgehog didn't move. It was not until the dust around it settled that Bai Ningruo could see everything on the ground clearly.

There was a mess all around.

Trees were broken.

Wherever the huge spines of the armored hedgehog swept through, it was simply horrible to see.

Bai Ningruo couldn't help but take a breath, her eyes filled with shock.

If you are touched by that giant thorn, you will definitely die!

"Okay, let's go down and take a look."

Bai Ningruo nodded, and then fell down with Lu Chen.

Although the Iron-Armored Hedgehog died, the spiritual energy in his body did not disappear.

I saw the endless amount of spiritual energy spreading out from the corpse.

Lu Chen turned his head.

"Without further delay, I will take the demon pill and you absorb the spiritual energy now!"

Bai Ningruo was stunned for a moment.

With my current level of cultivation, I cannot fully absorb this much spiritual energy.

And right now the spiritual energy is evaporating rapidly...

"Brother, why don't you absorb the spiritual energy while I take the demon pill? I can't control this spiritual energy!"

Lu Chen frowned slightly.

"Then let's absorb them at the same time. Remember, you have to absorb them with all your strength. The more the better!"

There is no time to explain so much right now.

Lu Chen could only give instructions quickly.

Bai Ningruo also realized that something was unusual and nodded quickly.

So, the two of them sat cross-legged next to the body of the armored hedgehog.

Lu Chen set up the barrier.

The spiritual energy that was emitted could not overflow and could only circulate continuously within the barrier.

Bai Ningruo narrowed her eyes slightly and concentrated on absorbing spiritual energy.

Lu Chen no longer cared about anything else.

Because of the divine scroll, his sea of consciousness had already become very vast, so absorbing the current spiritual energy was naturally a piece of cake.

It was not until he saw that Bai Ningruo could no longer absorb spiritual energy that Lu Chen absorbed all the remaining spiritual energy into his own body.

After half a cup of tea.

Lu Chen exhaled slightly and then opened his eyes.

"Brother, how do you feel? Are those spiritual energies very shocking?"

As soon as I opened my eyes.

Bai Ningruo looked over with a smile.

Hearing him say this, Lu Chen understood that the little girl should have understood that the spiritual energy of this armored hedgehog was extraordinary.

Lu Chen nodded.

"indeed so."

"To be honest, I have never absorbed so much spiritual energy in such a short time. This feeling is simply... too shocking!"

Bai Ningruo was so excited that her words were somewhat incoherent.

In fact, I don’t even know how to describe the rich spiritual energy right now.

In addition to being shocked, it is still shocking!

Lu Chen slowly stood up and reached out to take the demon pill.

At this time, Bai Ningruo was still immersed in excitement.

Although she didn't participate personally, Bai Ningruo's little mouth never stopped.

"I didn't expect that there is such a rich spiritual energy in this kind of monster."

"Brother, no one on the leaderboard has obtained the demon pill yet, you are the first one!"

"I guess your name will appear on the leaderboard soon."

"We haven't even walked halfway through this mountain range and we've already encountered a high-level monster. Will there be more and more of these monsters in the future?"

"By the way, Senior Brother, I only know that you are good at using swords. When did you learn boxing?"

"..."

After Bai Ningruo finished asking the question, Lu Chen took out the Iron-Armored Hedgehog's demon pill.

The demon pill is black in color, with a faint dark green glow around it.

Bai Ningruo was stunned for a moment.

"Why is it black?"

"If a demon beast is extremely poisonous, its demon pill is often black. Usually, the higher the toxicity, the greener the glow it emits."

Bai Ningruo suddenly understood.

He uttered "oh" several times in a row.

Lu Chen is indeed Lu Chen!

He is worthy of being the genius who has guarded the devil's cave for more than three hundred years.

No one else can compare!

Two people were talking.

Then suddenly there was a burst of exclamations.

"Oh my God, Lu Chen is indeed the first one to take out the demon pill!"

"This high-level demon beast would kill ordinary practitioners. How did they succeed?"

"I'm so envious. I really want to go in and take a look."

"What's going on? Why does that big hedgehog look like he has no spiritual energy at all?"

"Could it be that the spiritual energy in my body has been absorbed by Lu Chen and Bai Ningruo? This time they have made a fortune!"

Everyone stared at Lu Chen and Bai Ningruo, their eyes full of envy.

now.

Everyone only saw the rich treasures in front of them and seemed to have forgotten the two men's fight with the armored hedgehog.

Qi Ze gritted his teeth, a cold light flashing in his eyes.

Damn!

Lu Chen actually got the demon pill!

How unfair!

There are so many monsters in such a huge mountain range. Why could Lu Chen encounter a high-level monster here?

Qi Ze sighed helplessly, his face full of disappointment.

Chi Lingxiao was so angry that he stamped his feet.

"Really? You just took a demon pill. Why are you standing there showing off? As if no one knows!"

"If you have the ability, you can take out all ten demon pills at once, that's amazing!"

"It's just grandstanding!"

Chi Lingxiao's tone was filled with resentment and jealousy, and his face showed no sign of hiding his disgust for Lu Chen and Bai Ningruo.

Wen Keyao next to her had a different expression.

Lu Chen was extremely talented, and it was within his expectations that he would be the first to obtain the demon pill.

There is nothing strange about this.

On the contrary, those who were jealous of Lu Chen seemed a little confused.

Chi Lingxiao wanted to say something else.

At this time.

A golden ranking list suddenly appeared in the sky.

Lu Chen's name appeared on the gold list, and the number of demon pills also increased from zero to one.

In an instant.

All contestants were aware of the current situation.

By the time they came to their senses, Lu Chen and Bai Ningruo had already walked forward.

……

"There are nine levels of monsters. The first three levels are ordinary monsters, the middle three levels are general monsters, and the last three levels are high-level monsters."

"Monsters rarely live alone, most of them live in groups."

"Occasionally there are solitary monsters, most of which have high cultivation levels."

"Compared to other monsters, the spiritual energy contained in the bodies of those poisonous monsters is much richer."

"Also, female demon beasts rarely travel when they are nursing their young."

"..."

As Lu Chen walked, he introduced the habits and characteristics of the monsters to Bai Ningruo.

Bai Ningruo nodded continuously, looking at Lu Chen like a little fangirl.

It is my honor to be able to participate in the Nine Yang Competition with Lu Chen.

During my lifetime.

I feel contented for having been able to walk side by side with you like this once.

just.

When asked when he learned boxing, Lu Chen thought for a moment.

Before this, I was indeed not good at boxing.

The boxing skills he learned were also what he gained when Xuan Mo led him into the lair of the four-winged celestial lion beast.

Lu Chen remembered it clearly.

Among all the items, there was a demon pill wrapped in animal skin.

At that time, I wanted Xuan Mo to eat the demon pill.

But when Lu Chen opened it, he found words printed on the animal skin.

It turned out to be a set of boxing techniques.

I just practiced it a few times and achieved such an effect.

This was purely an accident.

Lu Chen did not tell anyone about Xuan Mo's ability to gain the memory of a monster after eating the monster pill.

So when answering Bai Ningruo, Lu Chen just said that they had encountered it by chance before, and he learned it after practicing for a long time.

Now Bai Ningruo had no doubt at all about what Lu Chen said.

After a few words of congratulations, the two continued walking forward.

Outside the Void Palace.

Deep in the Zinan Forest.

Yu Yanxue stared at the air in disbelief.

Someone has obtained the demon pill, and updates have appeared on the rankings!

But why not someone else, but Lu Chen!

Yu Yanxue's lips trembled slightly, and her chest rose and fell.

She always appeared cold and aloof, but at this moment she could no longer control her emotions.

Because there is no one else.

Yu Yanxue didn't want to hide her true feelings.

With a wave of his palm, a large number of trees in front of him fell down!

"Damn it!"

"Why did it have to be Lu Chen!"

"Wherever Lu Chen is, there will be voices mocking the melody. It's really hateful!"

"Lu Chen, don't think that you can be invincible just because you have obtained one demon pill. The task of the competition is to obtain ten demon pills!"

"Running ahead at the beginning will only make you the target of everyone's envy. Other than that, there is no benefit at all!"

He said this through gritted teeth.

Yu Yanxue felt a little better.

Then, he stared at the golden list in the air for a long time.

Yu Yanxue frowned.

It will be perfect when Qi Ze or Wen Keyao’s name appears on the gold list!

Since I can see the updated content of the Gold List, I believe Qi Ze and the others will also be able to know it.

at this time.

They should have felt the pressure, right?

It was already extremely embarrassing that the Xuanling Holy Sect did not get an invitation.

As the sect leader, he certainly didn't have the face to continue waiting outside the hall.

but.

This is deep in the forest.

If some people hadn't deliberately looked for them, they would probably not have known of their existence.

Thinking of this, Yu Yanxue's heart slowly calmed down.

Then, Yu Yanxue showed a bitter smile on her face again.

Since when did I, the sect leader, become so worthless?

You must know that you are the leader of the Xuanling Holy Sect!

At this time.

Lu Chen’s face flashed through Yu Yanxue’s mind!

If you think about it carefully, it seems that all the bad luck started from the day Lu Chen left!

This damn Lu Chen!

He must have done something to cause Xuanling Holy Sect to be so unlucky!

Yu Yanxue bit her lips tightly, and her eyes became firm again.

Lu Chen, since you have betrayed the Xuanling Holy Sect, don't blame me for being ruthless!

All the things you did before did not take our relationship as master and disciple into consideration.

From now on, I won’t have to worry about anything I do.

……

Different from Yu Yanxue’s annoyance.

Pang Zongheng in the Void Hall was laughing loudly.

Seeing Lu Chen's name so prominent, Pang Zongheng wanted to tell everyone that it was Lu Chen who took the first demon pill.

Unfortunately.

There is no one around Pang Zongheng now.

Everyone wants to gain more opportunities and rare treasures in this Nine Yang Competition.

So everyone went to complete the task.

Pang Zongheng laughed a few times and muttered to himself, "I really didn't misjudge him. Lu Chen is a talented person who can be cultivated!"

……

In order to complete the task in the shortest time possible.

Lu Chen and Bai Ningruo decided to fly on their swords.

When they were mid-air, they discovered that the mountains surrounding the Void Palace were so vast.

"Brother, I just saw that many people have stagnated."

"They did not choose to kill the monsters, but instead began to search for natural treasures in the mountains."

“Are they giving up automatically?”

Bai Ningruo was puzzled.

They finally got the qualification to participate in the Nine Suns Competition, why don’t they give it a try?

What if it succeeds?

Seeing those people giving up voluntarily, Bai Ningruo felt it was not worth it for them from the bottom of her heart.

But Lu Chen doesn't think so.

"Perhaps, they feel that there are more important things than the ranking in the competition."

"What is it? Are they those treasures?" Bai Ningruo was even more confused. "If we win a place in the competition, the immortals in the Ninth Heaven will have other rewards, right?"

"There are countless places for the competition, but only three places to receive rewards..."

Lu Chen didn't say the rest of the words, and Bai Ningruo suddenly realized.

Those who come to participate in the competition are all geniuses.

Standing out from the crowd is a very difficult thing.

If you don't know your own limitations, you might actually lose your life in the process of searching for the demon pill.

If that were the case, wouldn't it be a typical case of valuing money over life?

Bai Ningruo lowered her head.

I happened to see several participating practitioners looking for spirit stones.

So, he sighed helplessly.

"It seems that everyone has different purposes for participating in the Nine Suns Competition."

"Brother, what is your purpose?"

Lu Chen simply answered with four words.

"Increase strength."
