Jian Chen let out a long sigh and slowly calmed himself down. Then he looked down at the magic core that was held in his hand. Although he had just absorbed the energy in the magic core for only a short moment, he clearly felt that the energy in the first-level magic core in his hand had been greatly reduced, and even the size of the magic core seemed to have been smaller.

This scene made Jian Chen take a breath of cold air. Although the energy in a first-level magic core was not particularly large, it would take at least three nights to fully absorb the energy of a first-level magic core before he was promoted to a saint. However, he absorbed the energy in the magic core for only a short breath just now, but he could clearly feel that the energy in the magic core had been greatly reduced. Jian Chen really couldn't imagine how huge energy he had absorbed in the short time just now.

Then, Jian Chen immediately checked his body, but what surprised him was that after he had absorbed such a huge amount of energy, there was no reflection in his dantian, and there was no sign of his energy increase. It seemed that the scene just now was just an illusion and never happened at all.

If he hadn't clearly felt that the energy in the first-level magic core in his hand had indeed decreased significantly, Jian Chen would have thought that the scene just now was just an illusion he had created, because all this was too strange.

Jian Chen frowned and thought hard, but no matter what he thought, he was puzzled by this kind of thing. In the end, Jian Chen had no choice but to let go of this matter and continued to absorb the energy from the magic core and began to practice. However, since experiencing the scene just now, Jian Chen became much more cautious this time, and his whole mind was paying attention to his physical condition to prevent the incredible scene from happening again.

Unexpectedly, just as he first absorbed the energy in the magic core, the scene that just happened appeared again. The magic core in Jian Chen's hand was emitting a faint light, and the energy inside was like a wild horse that broke away from reins, rushing into Jian Chen's body at an incredible speed, and then sucked into his body through the meridians of his arm and pores in his body.

Jian Chen sat cross-legged on the bed, his body trembled slightly like a stone sculpture. Now, he was finally sure that the scene that had just happened was real, not an illusion. Just when Jian Chen was about to stop absorbing the energy in the magic core, he suddenly gave up this idea, and then all his energy increased to the peak, paying close attention to the situation in his body. He wanted to figure out what was going on, why his sudden absorption of the energy in the magic core had increased to such a terrifying level, and the energy that entered his body suddenly sank into the sea, disappeared without a trace, and was gone.

The volume of the first-level magic core held in Jian Chen's hand was rapidly shrinking at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the huge energy released from the magic core was frantically pouring into Jian Chen's arm meridians and pores in his body. Under such a huge impact on his energy, Jian Chen's meridians and a small piece of body skin felt a pain.

Unlike the absorption of the heaven and earth vital energy two days ago, the heaven and earth vital energy belongs to a gentle state, so at such a fast absorption speed, Jian Chen did not feel any discomfort, but the magic core is different. The magic core is the essence condensed from the energy of a demon beast. Whether it is the strength or the purity of the energy, it is far from comparable to the most primitive heaven and earth vital energy. Moreover, the energy in the magic core also contains a violent factor, so absorbing the energy in the magic core so quickly has also brought some disadvantages to Jian Chen's body.

Jian Chen didn't care about this pain at all, and concentrated on observing the situation in his body closely. He saw that most of the huge energy he absorbed from the magic core flowed towards a certain position in his dantian, and only a very weak part of the remaining energy can be absorbed by Jian Chen.

However, when Jian Chen discovered the place where those energy was going, his face suddenly became very exciting, because that location was the place where two purple and green light spots suddenly appeared in his dantian two days ago, and all those energy was absorbed by these two light spots.

Jian Chen slowly opened his eyes, looked at the magic core in his hand with a serious expression, then threw it down, closed his eyes again, and continued to practice by absorbing the energy of heaven and earth.

The heaven and earth vital energy continued to gather towards Jian Chen. The speed of gathering was more than ten times that he had absorbed the heaven and earth vital energy. However, 99% of the heaven and earth vital energy absorbed by Jian Chen were absorbed by the two strange light spots in his dantian, and the heaven and earth vital energy he could absorb was only one percent of this.

If we infer this way, Jian Chen’s speed is ten times slower than before by absorbing the essence of heaven and earth.

To draw such a conclusion, Jian Chen's face suddenly became ugly. His cultivation speed was one-tenth of that of the past, and such a situation was definitely not what he wanted to see. What he didn't expect was that the two light spots, one purple and one green, which were formed in his dantian, actually brought him such great trouble.

Then, Jian Chen tried to absorb the energy from the magic core to practice. Then, the heavy expression on his face gradually relaxed, making him feel very glad that if he absorbed the energy from the magic core to practice, his cultivation speed would not only not be slower than before, but also three points faster than before. However, the only flaw was that the consumption of the magic core was too great, which made Jian Chen's forehead sweat flow.

Jian Chen stopped practicing, looked at the dark night sky outside the window, and sighed helplessly. If he had to seize energy from two light spots in his dantian during cultivation, then Wuning would become very difficult on the road of cultivation in the future. After all, by absorbing the energy of heaven and earth, Jian Chen's cultivation speed was only one-tenth of that of the past. Although absorbing the energy in the magic core could increase his cultivation speed by three points again, the consumption of the magic core was so large that Jian Chen could not bear it.

In the past, one level of magic core had been at least enough for Jian Chen to practice for at least three nights, but now one level of magic core can only last less than a cup of tea. If this is the case, then Jian Chen would have to spend nearly fifty first-level magic cores for one night of cultivation. With such a large consumption, even if Jian Chen had a huge fortune, it would be difficult for him to use the magic core for his cultivation.

(Find on Baidu: one hour is two hours, one quarter of an hour is fifteen minutes, one cup of tea is ten minutes, one stick of incense is five minutes, and then, a smaller unit of time is calculated like this.)

Jian Chen calmed down very much. With his mind, such a small bump could not defeat him. "Hey, take one step at a time. Without magic cores, you can only hunt down monsters and get it. Moreover, maybe when it is full, you won't continue to grab energy with me." With this idea, Jian Chen took out a large handful of magic cores from the space belt and continued to practice.

Night passed by quickly, and the next day, Jian Chen finished his cultivation. When he counted the magic cores consumed last night, he not only took a breath, but in just one night, he actually used 56 first-level magic cores.

Jian Chen smiled bitterly. Although there were many magic cores in his space belt, at this speed, the magic cores in his hand could not last for a few days. When his magic core was consumed, he could only rely on absorbing the energy of heaven and earth to practice. Now, Jian Chen only hopes that the two light spots in his dantian can reach saturation as soon as possible, and never absorb them endlessly like this.

"It seems that when will I go to hunt monsters in the forest and get some magic cores?" Jian Chen murmured in a low voice.

After calming down his mood, Jian Chen left the dormitory directly, and then went to the woods on the east side of the college to explain some knowledge about skills and combat experience to his elder brother Changyanghu. It was not until the sun had risen high into the sky that Jian Chen finished his explanation for his elder brother.

"Brother, let's come here today. You need to spend more effort on the use and transformation of power. As for combat experience, it will gradually increase with your battle, so you don't need to practice deliberately." Jian Chen said to the eldest brother Changyang Hu. These days, Jian Chen will give me some advice on martial arts knowledge here every morning.

Changyang Hu nodded and said, "I understand the fourth brother." Now, Changyang Hu no longer found it strange about how Jian Chen knew these things. He did not know what Jian Chen's living environment was like in Changyang Mansion. However, in his opinion, his fourth brother was a real genius. Even if he received some special care in the family, he might be taught by the elders in the family. Moreover, he also knew that his fourth brother liked reading books. When he was in the academy, he ran to the library all day long. He often stayed for a whole day. Perhaps these things were learned from the books in the library in the family.

"Brother, you practice slowly by yourself, I'll leave first." As he said that, Jian Chen walked towards the depths of the woods. Changyanghu continued to practice there.

...

In an indoor martial arts field in the academy, two young men wearing uniforms in the academy were fighting fiercely in the field. Both of them were holding giant swords. One of them had a fire red light, and a burst of hot breath emanated from it. This person was Cheng Mingxiang, known as a genius in Kagas Academy.

The giant sword in the hand of the young man who was practicing with Cheng Mingxiang flashed with a water-blue light, and he looked a little bigger than Cheng Mingxiang, but at this moment his face was solemn, and his forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat.

The two of them fought very fiercely on the court, but a discerning person could see that the young man holding the water-blue giant sword was completely beaten by the young man holding the fire-red giant sword. He had no power to fight back and could only resist.

"Okay, young master, don't hit me anymore. If I hit me, I can't hold on." The young man holding a giant water blue sword suddenly spoke.

After hearing this, Cheng Mingxiang stopped immediately, and then the giant sword disappeared from his hand, and said with a faint smile: "Salad, you are now getting shorter and shorter. It seems that you should work hard. You are much more likely to be better than before."

Hearing this, the young man holding a giant water blue sword couldn't help but smile bitterly on his face and said, "Young Master, it's not that my strength has become weaker, but that your strength has grown too fast. I'm no longer your opponent."

After hearing this, Cheng Mingxiang's face suddenly showed a look of pride.

At this moment, a student in school uniform ran in from outside, came straight to Cheng Mingxiang, then took out an envelope from his body and said, "Master Cheng, this is a handwritten letter from the Sect Master."
