My Optimized Immortal Life

Yin Lingzi looked at Chu Yanran opposite him with a calm expression, as if dodging those dozens of Gengjin shuttles was a piece of cake for him.

Seeing this, Chu Yanran's eyes were already filled with solemnity. She knew that even she was not as good as Chen Changsheng in terms of physical skills. The latter could actually cast eighteen phantoms, which meant that if they fought in close combat, she would not have a chance to touch Chen Changsheng at all.

Thinking of this, Chu Yanran turned her hand, and a one-foot-long flying shuttle suddenly appeared in her hand. The flying shuttle was light gold in color, and had countless patterns engraved on it. It was extremely mysterious.

Chu Yanran used her magic power and the shuttle immediately turned into a golden light. In a few breaths, it arrived in front of Yin Lingzi.

A second-order mid-grade spiritual weapon? The foundation is quite good.

Yin Lingzi continued to use the Zhoutian Huanshen Jue, and eighteen phantoms unfolded. Although more than a dozen of them were wiped out by the golden light emitted from the shuttle, several still survived. He also used this to avoid the attack of this spiritual weapon.

Afterwards, Yin Lingzi appeared about ten meters in front of Chu Yanran on the left. He made a spell with his hand, and magic power surged. Then he suddenly opened his mouth.

Alas!!!

A shrill ghost howl roared out of its mouth, like a formation of swords and knives, rushing towards you.

Chu Yanran was promoted to the foundation-building stage, and naturally she also cultivated her spiritual consciousness. She had already used her spiritual consciousness at this time, but she still saw hundreds of figures wearing armor and holding swords rushing towards her. They had no faces, but faintly revealed the shape of skeletons. Accompanied by shrill ghost howls, they oppressed Chu Yanran to the point that she could not move for a while.

Magical power surged in his body as he flew around, but he was unable to destroy any of the armored figures, leaving Chu Yanran in a trance.

"break!"

Seeing that the sword was about to hit her, Chu Yanran forced her spiritual sense to break the illusion and catch a glimpse of the situation outside.

She found herself half-kneeling on the ground without knowing when, her magic power was exhausted, and the shuttle fell on the bluestone platform not far away, and the spiritual light dimmed. Yin Lingzi was standing with his hands behind his back, not far away, looking at her quietly.

Knowing that she had been defeated, Chu Yanran gritted her teeth and stood up, mobilizing the remaining magic power to return the shuttle to her hands. Then, she looked at Yin Lingzi.

"I wonder what kind of magic this is, with such incredible power. Could you please tell me, Brother Chen?"

Hearing this, Yin Lingzi spoke slowly.

"This is a wonderful technique, created by me, called Soul Devouring."

"Soul-eating?"

Chu Yanran murmured, then looked at Yin Lingzi, her eyes revealing determination.

"Brother Chen is extremely powerful. Yanran is no match for him. I hope to compete with Brother Chen again next time."

Yin Lingzi frowned, thought for a while, and said.

"No need. The method you practice is of no benefit to your soul and spirit, and cannot resist my magic. If you switch to practicing the method of the soul for this reason, it will delay your own practice, and the loss will outweigh the gain."

After he finished speaking, Yin Lingzi stopped talking, turned around and walked down the fighting stage, and stood in the corner.

As for the disciples watching below, they were still extremely shocked and could hardly believe what they saw.

Just after Yin Lingzi unleashed that ghost howl, they saw Chu Yanran stunned for a moment, and then the magic power around her body could not stop releasing, and the shuttle was also flying around, as if fighting with something. This continued for a while, and Chu Yanran's magic power was exhausted. She half-knelt down, and after a while, she woke up.

Obviously, Yin Lingzi's magic was an illusion, which directly made Chu Yanran sink into it, making it difficult to distinguish the truth from the false. Even if she had earth spirit roots, her magic power was exhausted and she was defeated.

Chu Yanran took a deep breath and slowly walked down the fighting stage and returned to the side of Master Jingyue.

The latter saw him come back and stand beside him, then slowly spoke.

"Chen Changsheng's magic is extremely strange. It looks like an illusion, but it penetrates your body and directly targets your soul. That's why it's so difficult for you to break free and you're completely addicted to it."

Chu Yanran finally understood after hearing this. No wonder her magic power was so powerful but it had no effect at all. She had to use her spiritual sense to attack everywhere, even injuring her own soul, before she could break free.

At this time, Master Jingyue took out a bottle of pills and handed it to Chu Yanran.

Chu Yanran took it and listened to Master Jingyue.

"This is the Soul-Calming Pill, which can repair the damage done to your soul. As for Chen Changsheng's technique, not to mention you, even a cultivator in the False Pill Stage would find it difficult to resist. At most, they would be able to detect something wrong faster than you. Therefore, there's no need to waste your energy on it. Focus on practicing the technique, improving your cultivation, and accumulating your foundation. This is the right way."

"Disciple knows."

Chu Yanran nodded, then swallowed the pill, sat down cross-legged, recovered her magic power, and at the same time nourished her soul that had just been injured.

Chu Yanran, the sect's talented disciple, was easily defeated by Yin Lingzi, which caught many people off guard. The disciples who watched the entire process below no longer looked down on Yin Lingzi who was standing in the corner, and were even quite in awe of him.

The battle continued. There were many famous disciples in this competition. Chu Yanran was just the most famous one among them. The other disciples might not be as famous as her, but their strength was far superior.

With one spell, he shattered the opponent's protective spiritual shield. Bai Yang looked at the disciples below with a calm expression.

He is one of the few people in the late foundation building stage in this competition. He participated in the competition not for the reward of first place, but to show himself and see if there is any elder who would like to accept him as a disciple.

Now, in his first move, he defeated a disciple of the same level of cultivation cleanly and neatly. This kind of strength is considered to be among the many disciples in the late stage of foundation building.

Excellent, attracted the attention of many elders.

Although Bai Jin has not yet condensed the fake elixir, he has had some adventures. He once took a strange fruit, which made his spiritual awareness far surpass that of cultivators of the same level and his comprehension also increased, so he was able to have such combat power.

His spiritual sense could also vaguely detect the secret observations of the Jindan elders, which made him secretly happy. He felt that there was a great possibility that he would be accepted as a disciple by an elder today.

"Next match, Bai Jin versus Chen Changsheng."

Di Jian took a look and suddenly said.

As soon as the words fell, the disciples below were immediately surprised.

Chen Changsheng? Him again? This time, he was actually being pitted against Bai Jin, who was in the late Foundation Establishment stage. With such a huge gap between them, was he trying to suppress him?

This thought couldn't help but come to someone's mind.

Yin Lingzi heard that he was called, but he didn't care. He just slowly walked up to the fighting stage and looked at Bai Jin opposite him. The aura of the late foundation building stage emanating from the latter was extremely conspicuous, but his expression was still calm, as if he didn't care at all.

Seeing this, Bai Jin narrowed his eyes.

He had just watched the entire fight between Chen Changsheng and Chu Yanran. He was confident that he could resist the ghost howl that was similar to an illusion cast by Chen Changsheng. After all, he was not a cultivator like Chu Yanran who had just entered the foundation-building period. After entering the late stage of foundation-building, his spiritual consciousness had been nourished by the rich foundation-building magic power, and his level was far superior to that of cultivators in the early stage of foundation-building. It cannot be said that he had some strange encounters, and the strength of his spiritual consciousness was far superior to that of cultivators of the same level.

With this confidence, he didn't believe that Chen Changsheng's second-level ghost howling technique would make him fall victim.
