The Sky-Tearing Lion pulled the beast cart, and under Liang Rui's control, it first slowly glided in the low altitude for a while, then folded its colorful wings, and the beast cart shook slightly before landing smoothly.
Liang Rui flashed and appeared on the withered grass. He glanced around for a moment, then looked at Zhao Fan, "This is it, come down."
Zhao Fan flew away from the beast cart and landed next to the former. He looked at the surrounding environment. They were all towering trees of unknown species. There was no trace of green anywhere he could see. And the barks of those big trees were
, the natural texture is like a ghost painting that makes the scalp feel numb.
However, the trees are not densely spaced, and there is sufficient space for movement.
The silence in the entire forest was eerie, and even the rustling sound of stepping on the grass blades could be heard clearly.
"Do you know what kind of tree this is?" Liang Rui stretched out his finger and flicked it on the nearby tree trunk.
Zhao Fan shook his head. Although many plants were recorded in the inheritance message, they were all rare elixirs, natural treasures, or powerful plant life forms, so it was impossible to recognize what kind of tree it was.
The black mask on Liang Rui's face turned into mist and disappeared, revealing his true appearance like a paralyzed face. He introduced: "This tree is called the Soul Locking Tree. It is a special plant in the Yuan Beast Mountain Range. With it,
This is a place where no living thing can come close.”
"No living thing can come close?" Zhao Fan looked at the towering tree that blocked out the clouds and the sun in confusion, but he didn't smell any dangerous atmosphere.
Liang Rui nodded, "The soul-locking tree is divided into two forms in a year. It is a tree in summer and autumn, and it is a beast in winter and spring. It is also called soul-locking beast, which refers to the same kind."
"Oh? There are two life forms in different seasons?" Zhao Fan said in surprise. This is similar to the cordyceps in his hometown. However, the latter is extremely small, while the soul-locking tree is as big as at least a hundred meters.
.
And the name of this thing has the word "soul" in it, but Zhao Fan couldn't guess what kind of tricks the teacher would prepare for him.
At this moment, Liang Rui no longer wasted time. He said in a guiding voice: "Zhao Fan, choose a soul-locking tree. You attack it with soul power, but remember not to use too much power. Take the maximum ten points."
One of them is enough.”
"Um."
After Zhao Fan heard this, he activated his soul power, without making any arbitrary decisions. He obediently used 10% of his soul's power limit, condensed it into a simple invisible knife, and cut into the target that had just been flicked by Liang Rui's fingertips.
That soul-locking tree.
Bah...
The next moment, there was a sound in his mind that was like the sound of rubbing foam, and a bit like an electric current.
Finally, Zhao Fan noticed something was wrong. His soul seemed to be captured by the soul-locking tree through the soul-power knife it released. This feeling was equivalent to the body falling into a swamp. The more he struggled, the more helpless he became.
Withdrawing, although the soul power has not been withdrawn, it cannot be mobilized at all.
Zhao Fan opened his eyes and looked sideways at Liang Rui in shock, "Teacher, what's going on? My soul is immobilized by the soul-locking tree, and even my body..."
"So, I specially emphasize the use of one-tenth of the ultimate power." Liang Rui said as expected: "With your soul body, if you use all the power, once you touch the soul-locking tree, you will be affected by it.
The reverse soul power will be crushed instantly, so you are obedient."
Zhao Fan glanced at the soul-locking tree fearfully, and humbly asked: "Then how should the disciple get out of trouble?"
"Watch it."
As Liang Rui spoke, terrifying soul power fluctuations surged around his body, transforming directly into a substantial purple-black sword and slashing at another soul-locking tree.
Zhao Fan's heart trembled and he subconsciously shouted: "Danger!"
Liang Rui, however, disapprovingly struck the tree trunk with the sword transformed from his soul power. Then, his soul, like Zhao Fan, was locked by the soul-locking tree.
Zhao Fan opened his eyes wide, and soon after, he felt Liang Rui constricting his soul power, and the latter's soul body was pulled back, easily escaping from the captured state.
The soul-locking tree also made a series of tearing and tearing sounds, and many cracks appeared on the trunk.
"Do you understand?" Liang Rui asked with a faint smile.
Zhao Fan did not answer immediately. He recalled the scene thoughtfully. After a moment, an idea suddenly appeared in his mind, and he asked tentatively: "The reverse soul power of the soul-locking tree depends on the strength of the attack.
It depends, and when the soul is locked by it, the soul power cannot be released, and it is possible to break free only by pulling the soul body itself."
"That's right."
Liang Rui's eyes showed admiration, "While pulling, the amplitude of the soul power will increase invisibly. This is the most effective method of improvement, but it is also the most dangerous, because when pulling against the soul-locking tree, you must first
Control the upper limit of the soul's ability to withstand, and be sure to hit the point that is slightly less accurate. If the reverse soul power generated by the power used exceeds the upper limit, even if you can forcefully break away, your own soul will be torn apart, no matter how low the degree is.
As for fatality, it may also cause permanent damage."
Zhao Fan nodded fearfully, using the Soul Locking Tree as the test object was like taking arsenic to treat a disease. If there is a control error, a larger dose will not only fail to cure the disease, but it will become poisoning or even fatal!
"And this stuck point was discovered through trial and error." Liang Rui said slowly: "One-tenth of the ultimate power is not your upper limit. Therefore, after you break free, attack Soul Locker again.
The power of the tree can be appropriately increased, but it should not be rashly aggressive."
"Teacher, I understand."
Zhao Fan exhaled, then concentrated on condensing his soul power without leaking it, and used the most primitive method, which was to start a tug-of-war by relying solely on the soul body and the binding force of the soul-locking tree.
The process was a bit like a tug-of-war. When the tug started, Zhao Fan felt his soul being dragged towards the trunk by the soul-locking tree. He didn't dare to relax for a moment, because if his soul came into contact with the trunk, it would be pulled.
When swallowing, such a cultivation method is extremely dangerous, but it is extremely effective.
During this period, Zhao Fan secretly observed Liang Rui out of the corner of his eye. His expression did not change. He was very calm, as if he was extremely relieved of himself.
"Can't let the teacher down."
Zhao Fan told himself in his heart, because he remembered Liang Rui's words that one tenth was not the upper limit, so he gritted his teeth and continued the life-and-death battle with the Soul-locking Tree invisibly.
After being in a stalemate for about an hour, Zhao Fan finally used his tenacious soul to exhaust his restraint until he became weak.
Soon, he completely broke free from the prison of the soul-locking tree!
Following this, an unprecedented sense of comfort arose in Zhao Fan's soul. Although the strength of his soul had not changed at all from before, it gave him the illusion that he had become stronger.
He knew clearly that the amplitude of soul power had increased!
Liang Rui nodded with satisfaction and said: "It's half an hour ahead of what I expected, and I'm even better than when I first faced the Soul Locking Tree back then."
"Teacher, how long did it take you to break free?" Zhao Fan was curious.
"Just add one stick of incense every hour." Liang Rui sighed with emotion, "My innate soul power amplitude is far inferior to yours, only 0.6."
"ah?"
Zhao Fan's eyes immediately turned into admiration. His innate soul power amplitude was 2. In the words of the teacher, it was an extremely rare talent in the Yuan world for an era, but the opponent's was only 0.6 in the normal range, which was only more.
It's just a stick of incense. In comparison, it's self-evident which one is stronger and which one is weaker.
"You don't have to look at me like that, haha, you are an ascended person, equivalent to a blank piece of paper." Liang Rui waved his hand and said: "And I have learned from my predecessors, otherwise I would have been immobilized by the Soul-locking Tree for at least a day."
Zhao Fan shrugged his shoulders and didn't take it seriously. After all, facts are facts.
"Rest for half an hour. After the turmoil in the soul has stabilized, then increase the power to attack the soul-locking tree again." Liang Rui pondered for a few seconds and then said: "In the first three days, pulling against the soul-locking tree has the greatest effect.
During the sprint period, due to the adaptability of the soul, the effect will be halved after three days. I hope you can seize this opportunity."
“The effect is greatest in the first three days?”
After Zhao Fan heard this, a sense of urgency immediately arose in his heart. What he had seen and heard since his ascension made him extremely eager, so he absolutely could not miss this opportunity.
In this way, he only took half a stick of incense, and when his soul was adjusted to the best state, he immediately threw himself into the second round of pulling. The soul power used this time was about 10% of the limit.
Zhao Fan is not stupid. He uses the soul-locking tree to increase the amplitude of his soul power. He is just testing it like crazy on the verge of death. 0.10%, no more, no less, just right. If he manages to break free, he will add zero points next time.
one.
Liang Rui looked at this scene, felt it for a moment, and then a stiff smile appeared on his face. What really satisfied him about the disciple he had accepted was not the rare amplitude of his innate soul power, but the opponent's hard work. Geniuses are not to be feared.
, the scary thing is that geniuses work harder than mediocre people!!!
