Chapter 155: Chapter 155: The Freakish Shen Haoran

"What’s going on? It’s been five days, why isn’t he out yet!" Chai Hui grumbled.

Five days ago, Chai Hui brought Su Xing here to wait for Shen Haoran to emerge. He had assumed that a new disciple, a mere Tier One Spirit General, would be unable to adapt to the violent Spiritual Power within the Spirit Vein and would be forced out before long. But they ended up waiting for a full five days. By now, Chai Hui’s injuries had been stabilized with an Elixir, yet Shen Haoran still hadn’t made an appearance.

Su Xing stared at the still-shut stone door, his brow tightly furrowed. It had been five days, and Shen Haoran still showed no signs of coming out. ’Is this really a disciple entering the Celestial Essence Hall to cultivate for the first time?’

By now, more and more disciples had gathered around the Profound Level Cultivation Room. At first, they were just there for the spectacle, to see how Su Xing would deal with this newcomer. But after half a day, they all lost their casual attitude and stared at Shen Haoran’s Cultivation Room with grave expressions.

"It’s been so long, and he’s still not out?"

"No way. The first time I entered a Yellow Level Cultivation Room, the violent Spiritual Power tortured me half to death. I couldn’t even last ten minutes. The Spiritual Power in a Profound Level Cultivation Room should be even more violent than a Yellow Level one, right? It’s been half a day, and he’s still holding on!"

"What’s so great about that? The experts in the top twenty of the Dragon and Tiger List all lasted more than half a day their first time! I don’t think he can hold out for much longer! He’ll definitely be out soon."

"I don’t believe it. How about we make a bet on how long this Shen Haoran can last in there?"

"You’re on! I bet he’ll be out soon. After all, he’s only a Tier One Spirit General. It’s already heaven-defying that he’s lasted this long!"

"Tch, I bet he can last a full day! I’ve got a good feeling about this kid!"

"Then you’re guaranteed to lose!"

Soon, the crowd’s focus shifted to just how long Shen Haoran could last inside the Profound Level Cultivation Room. But one day passed, and the stone door didn’t move. Two days passed, and the stone door remained motionless! Three days passed, and the stone door was as quiet as ever.

"Damn, what the hell? Don’t tell me this guy’s been consumed by the violent elements and died in there! It’s been three days without a peep!" some disciples exclaimed in shock.

"Three days... he’s tied Ouyang Chen’s record, right? Ouyang Chen also lasted three whole days the first time he entered a Profound Level Cultivation Room!"

"Could it be that another Ouyang Chen is about to appear in the Sect?"

However, the third day quickly passed, and Shen Haoran still showed no sign of coming out. On the fourth day, everyone’s worldview was shattered once again! On the fifth day, even Elder Mo, who usually stayed out of worldly affairs, was stirred!

Seeing Elder Mo approach, the two Elders guarding the Celestial Essence Hall quickly bowed and greeted him, "Elder Mo!"

Elder Mo nodded, then walked to the door of the room and asked Long Mo, "Is it Shen the kid?"

Long Mo and Long Zhen had arrived before the stone door two days prior. When they heard Shen Haoran had already been inside for three days, they were both greatly surprised. But they soon relaxed, as the two of them knew better than anyone just how monstrous Shen Haoran was.

Seeing Elder Mo’s question, Long Mo nodded and said, "Yes, Elder Mo. It’s been five days!"

Hearing this, Elder Mo frowned. He had observed Shen Haoran’s strength and Talent when he entered the Celestial Essence Hall. According to his own speculation, Shen Haoran’s limit should have been two and a half days. Now, five days had passed with no activity at all. ’Could something have really happened to him?’

Thinking of this, Elder Mo sent out his Spiritual Thought, wanting to investigate. However, when his Spiritual Thought entered the Cultivation Room, an immense Spiritual Thought, as vast as an ocean, blasted it right back out!

THUD, THUD, THUD... Elder Mo’s Spiritual Thought was repelled, and he staggered back dozens of steps, staring at the Cultivation Room in terror! That Spiritual Thought just now had been simply too powerful; even Elder Mo felt his heart pound in fear!

"Elder Mo, what’s wrong?" Long Mo asked in confusion, seeing the Elder’s strange state.

"I’m fine!" Elder Mo suppressed the shock and suspicion in his heart, his expression turning grave as he stared at the stone door of Shen Haoran’s room.

’What in the world was that terrifying Spiritual Thought?’

Meanwhile, inside the Profound Level Cultivation Room, Elder Yan glanced lightly at the world outside the stone door before turning his gaze back to Shen Haoran and Changmao.

The Spiritual Power Vortexes surrounding the two of them were shrinking, almost to the point of disappearing! This was because the mist of Spiritual Power in the Cultivation Room had been completely devoured by these two Spiritual Energy Devouring Machines. The room, once filled with a dense mist of Spiritual Power, now didn’t have even a trace of it left to be felt!

After the Spiritual Power Vortexes vanished, a surge pulsed through Shen Haoran’s body. His tightly shut eyes snapped open, and two tangible beams of brilliant light flashed from them.

"Haaa..." After exhaling a breath of turbid air, Shen Haoran looked at the Spirit Crystal in his Dantian, which had grown by a full size, a look of pure joy on his face!

’It’s only been a short time, and my strength has already broken through to Tier One Spirit General Peak. A few more sessions like this, and I’ll break through to Tier Two Spirit General soon!’ Shen Haoran thought to himself. He couldn’t help but marvel, ’If the effect of this last Profound Level Cultivation Room is already so powerful, what about the ones ranked higher? Wouldn’t the Earth Level and even Celestial Level Cultivation Rooms be even more insane!’

At this thought, Shen Haoran’s eyes burned with eagerness. He couldn’t wait to charge into the top ten of the Dragon and Tiger List and enjoy the treatment of a Celestial Level Cultivation Room!

"Looks like you’ve had a good harvest!" Elder Yan said with a smile, looking at Shen Haoran’s joyful expression.

"Indeed, the effects of this Profound Level Cultivation Room are quite good!" Shen Haoran replied. But then he stared, stunned, at the now-clear Cultivation Room, which was devoid of any Spiritual Power.

"This... where’s the mist of Spiritual Power? Don’t tell me I absorbed it all!" Shen Haoran said in astonishment.

Hearing this, Elder Yan pointed towards the wall. Over there, Changmao was also slowly waking up. A terrifying aura, like that of an Ancient Giant Beast, emanated from its body!

Changmao’s form was now even more solid, its fur looking almost identical to the real thing. Moreover, its eyes held more and more spirit, making it seem as if it had a true physical body!

In a flash, Changmao leaped onto Shen Haoran’s shoulder and began to play around excitedly. This Cultivation session had greatly increased its strength, and it was in an extremely cheerful mood!

"You two bottomless pits have completely devoured the mist of Spiritual Power in this Cultivation Room!" Elder Yan said, spreading his hands.

Shen Haoran forced the boisterous Changmao back into his body. Looking at the bare Cultivation Room, he said, somewhat embarrassed, "So... will the Spiritual Power come back? I didn’t break this Cultivation Room, did I?"

"Don’t worry. The Array is constantly drawing Spiritual Power from the Red Flame Spiritual Vein. The Spiritual Power here will recover, it will just take a fair bit of time," Elder Yan said lightly.

Hearing that, Shen Haoran let out a long sigh of relief. "That’s good. It would be a disaster if the Sect banned me from entering the Celestial Essence Hall!"

"Don’t celebrate too early. There’s a whole crowd of people waiting for you outside this Cultivation Room’s door right now," Elder Yan said, looking at Shen Haoran’s chagrined expression.

"Waiting for me? What do you mean?" Shen Haoran asked, a confused look on his face.

"Why don’t you go out and see for yourself?" After saying this, Elder Yan flew back into Shen Haoran’s body.

Seeing Elder Yan disappear, Shen Haoran straightened his clothes and walked to the stone door in confusion, pushing it open with a single shove!

RUMBLE...
