Chapter 2190 - 2191: Spiritual Body
Luckily, Lin Chen's current cultivation level is not just Spirit Refining Five Layers; otherwise, he would have suffered a considerable setback just now.This made him somewhat grateful.
But that gratitude didn't last long. As Lin Chen contemplated, the Spiritual Body with the sword approached. The power contained within the sword emitted a faint humming sound in its movement.
This kind of hum caused Lin Chen's expression to subtly change.
He had continuously refined Wang Hao's sword skill over time, but the Spiritual Body before him seemed to be even more familiar with this technique than Lin Chen. Its execution showed no sluggishness and was exceptionally agile, even surpassing him.
This scene made Lin Chen pause in his steps, carrying a mix of surprise and anger.
This anger wasn't directed at the Spiritual Body opposite him, but at himself for not even being able to surpass a mere Spiritual Body, which naturally stirred his frustration.
At that moment, his steps didn't halt; instead, he strode forward.
In stepping forward, he executed the sword skill taught by Wang Hao, just like the Spiritual Body, as if he intended to match the Spiritual Body's prowess.
However, Lin Chen's proficiency was evidently not as high as the Spiritual Body's. In the moment their swords intersected, a series of vibrations emanated from the Spiritual Body's sword, causing Lin Chen's wrist to throb mildly.
Lin Chen retreated a step, but the sword in the Spiritual Body's hand disintegrated into fragments, drifting apart, and before long, it reformed in its hand.
Lin Chen was slightly stunned and then glanced at the Tianyan Ancient Sword in his hand, realizing its sharpness wasn't something ordinary objects could withstand.
Despite gaining this advantage, Lin Chen didn't feel smug. His current aim was not to fatally defeat the opposition, but to gain battle experience from this encounter.
This experience was rare, even in life-or-death battles in the outside world, hard to compare.
After all, the Spiritual Body before him was an exact replica of himself. The techniques used were identical. Fighting with it constantly perfected his own flaws in this combat process.
Such trial made Lin Chen exceedingly delighted.
Once again, after the sword in the Spiritual Body's hand reappeared, its face formed by Spiritual Energy showed no disturbance, and it once again swung the sword towards Lin Chen.
Lin Chen swung his arm; the gravity present in this trial field caused Lin Chen's arm to slightly ache when raising the sword, necessitating expending more energy just to lift it.
Compared to the brilliance of Spiritual Energy in other places, Lin Chen's situation appeared much dimmer. Both the Spiritual Body and Lin Chen kept their Spiritual Energy hidden within the sword, only revealing brief splendor in the instant of contact before dissipating.
"Again!"
"Again!"
Shouts erupted continually from Lin Chen's mouth. The force exploded was mixed with a hint of enjoyment.
Here he had no burdens, no fear of life's dangers; only the experience gained in constant battle.
In the clash, Lin Chen increasingly sensed his own flaws, thus fighting while continuously addressing them.
When his Spiritual Energy slightly depleted, Lin Chen withdrew from the platform, and strangely, the Spiritual Body ceased its action too, giving Lin Chen time to recover.
After recovery, Lin Chen confronted it again, excitement gleaming in his eyes.
In his frenzied cultivation, outside the sun rose and set, with more than a day forcefully passing by. Relocated in the miniature spiritual realm within, Lin Chen couldn't sense this.
There, like daylight, unaware of dawn or darkness outside.
...
Until the last depletion of Spiritual Energy, Lin Chen only felt a minor hunger in his belly and begrudgingly headed towards the exit at the end of the corridor.
A flash of white light, he was already standing outside the stone gate, looking up at the sky, with the sun overhead, blazing hot rays.
"Such a short time has passed?" Lin Chen couldn't help but mutter aloud.
"What's short, it's already the second day." Sun Tianming was waiting outside the stone gate and said somewhat irritatedly.
"The second day..." Lin Chen was taken aback.
He then noticed Sun Tianming's expression, which seemed serious and not joking. Only then did he cough, awkwardly saying, "This place is too peculiar, I lost track of time..."
"Really can't figure you out, never thought you'd be so relentless." Sun Tianming said helplessly.
"Come on, let's eat. I'm starving."
Lin Chen shifted the topic, his grumbling stomach persistently reminding him to eat.
"If not for hunger, you probably wouldn't come out." Sun Tianming speculated.
Lin Chen coughed and didn't respond, urging Sun Tianming to walk forward.
Everything here operated relying on arrays, driven by Spiritual Stones. Before Lin Chen emerged, Sun Tianming also dared not leave, lest he wouldn't find Lin Chen, unable to return when he reemerges.
As long as Lin Chen was inside, Sun Tianming waited outside equally long.
Luckily, cultivators weren't impacted by not eating for several days, otherwise, Sun Tianming might starve waiting.
"Forget it; I'll leave you some Spiritual Stones. Don't repeat what happened this time by staying there too long without coming out..."
During the meal, Sun Tianming gave Lin Chen some Spiritual Stones, saying, "Next time you go inside, give them to the guarding disciple."
"How could I accept, I'm still indebted from last time." Lin Chen coughed.
"Nothing to be embarrassed about, you saved my life. Besides, once you reach the Spirit Pill realm, these naturally will be plentiful. You can repay me then." Sun Tianming shrugged indifferently.
"Alright."
Lin Chen accepted, knowing he possessed immense interest in the trial field. This burning curiosity made him eager to continue, impatiently right after being full.
"Such a fierce person."
Sun Tianming, unlike Lin Chen's frenzy, leisurely ate without rush after Lin Chen left swiftly.
He had frequented that place enough, venturing there now only sought the feeling of past battles, as it had been too long without combat, causing some unfamiliarity.
Additionally, during this period, he could quickly adapt to the new technique called North Dark Profound Classic.
But it was different for Lin Chen.
He aimed to continually perfect himself through combat, which required an immense mental effort and time.
Once accustomed, repetition brings mastery.
Upon Lin Chen entering the trial field, the familiar figure appeared there anew, waiting as if it never left for Lin Chen's return.
