Chapter 17: Special Training—Cross-Level Challenge

Yan solemnly accepted the thick Compendium of Exotic Flora from Yue Guan's hands.

He first glanced at it briefly, then flipped through a few pages and immediately realized that this was an extremely rare and invaluable botanical tome.

Many exotic plants he had never encountered before were described in great detail within its pages. Every page seemed to contain boundless knowledge.

This book was not just a simple record of flora; it was a collection of countless predecessors' efforts in exploring nature.

Each plant was meticulously detailed, including its growth habits, required soil and climate conditions, as well as its applications in medicine, alchemy, and even poison-making. Everything was listed clearly.

What surprised Yan the most was that the book also thoroughly explained how to distinguish between similar-looking but different plants. This would be incredibly helpful for his future field practice.

As long as he studied the book well, he would eventually gain the ability to identify various Immortal Herbs.

"Elder Chrysanthemum, the value of this book is beyond words. I truly appreciate it."

Yue Guan gently waved his hand, his face adorned with a warm smile.

"As long as you have a genuine interest in flora, consider this book my support for you. I hope you can benefit from it."

"Mm. Elder Chrysanthemum, rest assured, I will study it diligently and not disappoint your expectations."

The soft glow in Yue Guan's eyes fell upon Yan, filling him with deep satisfaction.

Finally, a young successor willing to dedicate himself to the study of flora.

"You can take the book back and read it at your own pace. If you come across anything you don't understand, feel free to find me for discussion."

"Alright."

Yue Guan suddenly recalled the External Soul Bone Yan had recently obtained, so he curiously asked,

"I heard that during your hunt in Death Canyon, you acquired an External Soul Bone?"

Yan smiled and nodded.

"Yes. I was fortunate to encounter a wounded Skyfire Fox. It had six thousand years of cultivation, and after I hunted it, I unexpectedly obtained an External Soul Bone. Upon absorbing it, it transformed into my Blazing Wings."

"I see."

Yue Guan's eyes lit up.

"For a six-thousand-year-old soul beast to drop a Soul Bone is already incredibly rare—let alone an External Soul Bone. Your luck is truly extraordinary."

Speaking of this, Yue Guan couldn't help but reminisce about his years of hunting.

Soul Bones were as rare as Immortal Herbs—something that could only be encountered, not sought.

Among the soul beasts he had hunted, some had even approached the terrifying threshold of one hundred thousand years, yet he had never been as fortunate as Yan.

However, seeing Yan experience such a stroke of luck, he felt more gratified than envious.

"That External Soul Bone is extremely valuable to you. But your current strength is not yet sufficient—remember, do not reveal it easily to others."

"Mm, I will keep your teachings in mind."

Yue Guan nodded in satisfaction.

"You, Xie Yue, and Nana are all children I have watched grow up. Now that all three of you have broken through the fortieth level, seeing you mature like this fills me with pride. For next Spirit Master Tournament, Her Holiness the Pope has invested great efforts. Perform well and do not disappoint her."

"Please rest assured, we will train diligently and win the championship!"

"Mm, that is good to hear."

With a heart full of gains, Yan left Yue Guan's residence and returned to his quarters at the academy.

It was already late, but Yan was still in a state of excitement.

He briefly flipped through the Compendium of Exotic Flora and then carefully examined the two Ice Grass Silkworm Pearls from his soul tool before finally going to sleep in satisfaction.

The next morning, sunlight spilled over the Spirit Hall Battle Team's training grounds, illuminating the vast area.

Seven team members stood in formation, full of energy. Yan, Xie Yue, and Hu Liena all had looks of anticipation on their faces because today, they would face an extraordinary challenge.

Before long, Lin Zhendong and Liu Can, the two instructors, slowly approached.

Their arrival instantly filled the once-quiet training ground with a tense atmosphere.

Lin Zhendong swept his deep gaze over everyone present before speaking:

"Yan, Xie Yue, Liena, come with me. The rest of you, follow Instructor Liu for today's training."

"Yes!"

Everyone responded in unison, their voices firm and powerful.

Then, Lin Zhendong turned and led Yan, Xie Yue, and Hu Liena out of the academy.

Hu Liena, feeling curious, couldn't help but ask, "Instructor Lin, are we not training within the academy today?"

"Mm."

Lin Zhendong responded briefly, a mysterious smile appearing on his face.

"I'm taking you to an interesting place."

"Where?"

"You'll find out when we get there."

The hint of mischief in Lin Zhendong's smile only made the three of them even more curious and expectant.

They exchanged glances, silently wondering what was so special about today's training.

The carriage jostled along as it traveled outside Spirit City, heading toward an unknown destination.

The scenery outside the window gradually became desolate until the carriage finally stopped in a secluded valley.

The three stepped out and looked around. Dense forests surrounded them, making the area feel both quiet and mysterious.

Hu Liena spoke again, "Instructor, are you taking us for field training?"

"Mm."

Lin Zhendong nodded and continued:

"Today's training is a cross-level challenge."

"A cross-level challenge?"

All three of them spoke in unison, their faces filled with surprise.

As they were still processing this information, three figures appeared in the distance, slowly walking toward them.

Lin Zhendong explained:

"I have arranged for each of you to face a Soul King-level opponent. Your task is to defeat them."

"This is not a sparring match in a ring—it is far more brutal because there are no boundaries. The victor is determined purely by strength."

"You must treat this as a real battlefield and consider them as true enemies. Use the terrain to your advantage and unleash your full potential."

"If you fail to defeat your assigned opponent, this mission will continue indefinitely—until you win."

Hearing this, the three exchanged glances.

A Soul King-level opponent meant that each of their opponents would have a soul power level at least ten ranks higher than theirs.

The task seemed extremely difficult, but their eyes gleamed with excitement and anticipation.

Fighting against a stronger opponent was the best way to push their potential to the limit.

However, they were also fully aware that their chances of failure were high—after all, a ten-rank difference in soul power was no small gap.

The three challengers soon arrived before them.

One had a burly physique, another was tall and slender, and the last one was shorter but had a shrewd look in his eyes.

Judging by their appearances, they seemed to be around thirty years old.

Yan searched his memory but found no information on them.

Clearly, these three were not instructors from the Spirit Hall Academy—they were likely individuals serving Spirit Hall.

Not knowing their martial souls or soul skills only added to the difficulty of the challenge.
