If Ye Qingchen could master the use of nature’s spiritual energy while at the fourth level of the Martial King Realm, it would truly be an unprecedented event in the Heaven Desolate Continent!

Qin Chuan had already decided on a place to take Ye Qingchen for his training: the Training Secret Realm. The spiritual energy there was not only abundant, but the presence of countless Spirit Beasts and fierce beasts also made the nature’s spiritual energy even purer.

Traveling in silence, the two quickly entered the Training Secret Realm.

The area Qin Chuan chose for Ye Qingchen was the territory of a group of fierce beasts at the Martial Master Realm. With their strength, it would be utterly unfair to these fierce beasts if they were to train here.

Ye Qingchen looked at Qin Chuan in confusion, wondering what plan his Eldest Brother had in mind. Qin Chuan hadn’t mentioned any details about the training regimen on the way there. Ye Qingchen had assumed they would be hunting high-level fierce beasts to test his combat prowess, but instead, they had arrived in an area populated by creatures of the Martial Master Realm.

Qin Chuan smiled and patted Ye Qingchen’s shoulder. "Little Junior Brother, our first trial will begin with battling these fierce beasts."

Ye Qingchen gave a wry smile and asked, "Eldest Brother, are you sure you want me to fight these fierce beasts?"

Ye Qingchen understood that trials should progress from easy to difficult, but fighting beasts at the Martial Master level seemed like too low a threshold for him. After all, he was at the fourth level of the Martial King Realm. Even if he didn’t fully grasp his own combat strength, he should have been matched against fierce beasts in the Martial King Realm.

Qin Chuan nodded confidently and said solemnly, "Little Junior Brother, I know you’re confused about the point of fighting these Martial Master-level fierce beasts. But my requirement for you is that you cannot use your own Spiritual Energy or make any physical contact with them. Under these conditions, if you can kill a single fierce beast, the first step of the trial will be complete!"

"What? How is that even possible?" Ye Qingchen exclaimed in surprise. Without using my Spiritual Energy or my body, how could I possibly kill a fierce beast? Am I supposed to stare it to death?

Of course, Ye Qingchen had considered using the imposing aura of his Martial King Realm to pulverize these beasts, but it was difficult to unleash one’s aura without the aid of Spiritual Energy.

Qin Chuan smiled and nodded. "I’ve learned a bit about you, Little Junior Brother. I know you’ve fought more than once against Martial Artists who have mastered nature’s spiritual energy. You should understand that the reason their combat power is so much higher than others at the same level is entirely due to the amplification from nature’s spiritual energy. You can start from that angle. Here, let me demonstrate."

After speaking, Qin Chuan effortlessly restrained the fierce beast closest to him and turned to Ye Qingchen.

"Little Junior Brother, I’ll try to move as slowly as possible. Watch carefully."

Ye Qingchen nodded, excitement starting to build within him. For the longest time, I’ve dreamed of mastering nature’s spiritual energy, but I never expected my Eldest Brother’s first lesson to be this very thing.

Knowing the importance of this opportunity, Ye Qingchen immediately activated his Dual Pupil Martial Soul, observing Qin Chuan’s every move with intense focus.

The captive beast was a Tortoise Shell Beast, known not for its attack power but for its formidable defense. It was no exaggeration to say that the Tortoise Shell Beast possessed the strongest defense of any creature in the Martial Master Realm. At that moment, the Tortoise Shell Beast sensed the danger it was in and began to panic.

With a light point of his finger, Ye Qingchen clearly saw that Qin Chuan hadn’t used a trace of his own Spiritual Energy. He had simply released a sliver of his Soul Power, causing the surrounding nature’s spiritual energy to converge on a single point.

Qin Chuan’s movements were so slow that Ye Qingchen could clearly perceive him communicating with nature’s spiritual energy. The normally mindless energy became incredibly obedient, slowly gathering into a sphere in front of Qin Chuan.

Qin Chuan glanced at Ye Qingchen and then lightly tapped the sphere of light, which began to float slowly toward the Tortoise Shell Beast. As the sphere traveled, nature’s spiritual energy continued to pour into it, obediently compressing and refining itself until the sphere grew ever purer.

Ye Qingchen watched with intense longing while the restrained Tortoise Shell Beast curled up, shielding itself with its rock-hard shell.

What happened next left Ye Qingchen’s jaw agape.

The sphere of light passed straight through the hard shell. The Tortoise Shell Beast, along with its shell, vanished without a trace. Yet the sphere of light remained perfectly intact. Finally, under Qin Chuan’s control, it slowly dissipated, returning to its natural state.

I can’t believe such a feat is even possible for a human.

In Qin Chuan’s hands, nature’s spiritual energy was incredibly docile and obedient, and his level of control was simply astonishing. Through his Dual Pupil Martial Soul, Ye Qingchen saw exactly what happened. The moment the sphere made contact, it released just enough energy to obliterate the Tortoise Shell Beast before stopping its outburst. Then, Qin Chuan manipulated the energy from the beast’s destruction, instantly replenishing the sphere.

That explained the bizarre scene: the Tortoise Shell Beast had vanished, yet the sphere of light remained intact, even able to disperse back into the world.

Such precise control is already beyond imagination, let alone executing it so perfectly in the blink of an eye. My Eldest Brother is truly extraordinary. No wonder Elder Yang said that Second Brother was invincible among his peers and Third Brother was the spitting image of a younger Elder Yang. Yet, the disciple he was most satisfied with was this seemingly harmless Eldest Brother!

After he was finished, Qin Chuan turned to Ye Qingchen and asked, "How about it, Little Junior Brother? Did you see clearly?"

Only then did Ye Qingchen snap out of his stupor. He nodded woodenly, then quickly shook his head. He had seen everything with his Dual Pupil Martial Soul, every detail etched into his mind. And yet, I have no confidence I can do what he just did.

Seeing his expression, Qin Chuan smiled and patted his shoulder. "Don’t worry, the beginning is always the hardest part. Just remember to feel for nature’s spiritual energy with your heart. It will hear your call! I can tell your Soul Power is extremely strong, Little Junior Brother. Once you get the hang of it, surpassing me is just a matter of time."

Having said that, Qin Chuan casually restrained another Tortoise Shell Beast and nodded at Ye Qingchen.
