Chapter 3630: Whatever You Do, Don’t Push Yourself

Because Elder Bao was very clear on one point: Xiao Fan's potential.

This person's Alchemy talent had even caught the eye of the two Elders, Du Xingwen and Ju Huaqing; who could say what might happen in the future?

With such potential, Du Xingwen and Ju Huaqing might not give up and could continue to invite him. If he were to become their disciple and receive their true teachings, he would become a famous Alchemist of the Biyun Divine Palace.

At this moment, Elder Bao's thoughts were very clear; perhaps there would come a time when he would need to ask for a favor from the young man.

Having lived in the Upper Realm of the Divine Domain for so many years, he was naturally no fool…

"Alright, the next round will be to see your potential and strength…" Elder Bao let out a breath and spoke slowly.

Hearing this, everyone showed their Battle Intent. This round was the key; if they succeeded, they could shed their hemp clothes and become Green-Robed Disciples, gaining a Heaven-Defying chance to change their destiny. If they failed, they would remain Hemp-Clothed Servants.

There was a world of difference between the two…

Xiao Fan let out a breath, secretly calculating how much strength he should use in the next round.

While performing Alchemy earlier, Xiao Fan had greatly overestimated the Alchemy attainments of those in the Upper Realm. He never expected that his own Alchemy attainments would still be effective even in the Upper Realm…

This round was the key; Xiao Fan couldn't show his full strength, otherwise his previous refusal would have been in vain.

Cang Wu's heart was filled with Battle Intent; he absolutely could not lose this time…

"My Realm is higher than his, he definitely can't beat me. That's right, he's just someone from the Middle Realm, how can he compare to me…" Cang Wu let out a breath, looked at Xiao Fan, and smiled, "Brother Bufan, good luck!"

"Alright," Xiao Fan nodded.

This round of the assessment was a test of endurance. Elder Bao brought everyone to a Nine-Story Black Tower.

The spiritual energy inside the black tower was dense but extremely violent, constantly invading the bodies of Xiao Fan and the others…

Xiao Fan felt the violent spiritual energy around him and was instantly startled, because once this spiritual energy entered the body, it couldn't be refined directly at all.

"This…" Xiao Fan was astonished, not knowing what was going on with this spiritual energy.

"Brother Bufan, this spiritual energy doesn't belong to this era; it's ancient spiritual energy… That's why it's so violent. If you're not careful, your Physical Body will be destroyed… Do you understand what I'm saying? If you can't hold on, don't force it. Not only will your Physical Body be damaged, but even your Divine Soul won't be able to withstand it," Cang Wu said with a slow smile from the side.

"I see… Alright, thank you," Xiao Fan nodded.

He finally understood the reason. No wonder he felt the spiritual energy was very dangerous, yet couldn't figure out why…

"Hehehe… Brother Bufan, your Realm is still low, so it's normal that you can't withstand it. I've participated several times, and my Realm is higher than yours, so I can suppress this spiritual energy better…" Cang Wu laughed.

"Suppress?" Xiao Fan was stunned.

"That's right, suppress…" Cang Wu nodded.

He told Xiao Fan that this spiritual energy was ancient spiritual energy, completely different from modern spiritual energy. If absorbed into the body, it couldn't be refined for a while and would cause obstructions to oneself.

Therefore, if one wanted to stand out in this competition, they had to suppress the spiritual energy absorbed into their body and then force it out after leaving the black tower…

Hearing this, Xiao Fan nodded, roughly understanding the point of this assessment.

"Hehehe… Brother Bufan, whatever you do, don't push yourself too hard. This stage is very dangerous, you have to understand that…" Cang Wu laughed slowly. Because he had lost to Xiao Fan in Alchemy earlier, he felt very indignant and planned to best Xiao Fan in this stage, which was why he spoke this way.

"Alright, I understand. Thank you," Xiao Fan nodded.

Just then, Elder Bao's voice came from outside the black tower.

"Everyone, you may begin. You must stay in the black tower for at least three days… Do you understand?"
