Chapter 363: Secret of the Ghost
"Hello, I want to ask, why didn't this Ghost try to escape just now?"
Chen Fan's voice made all the humans slightly stunned, all revealing confusion.
"That's right, Geluote, why didn't this guy try to escape just now, and just honestly let us ravage it?"
Everyone asked one after another.
Geluote smiled: "Everyone doesn't know, because this Ghost Race has no physical body, they can only live in a special liquid; this liquid is called the Ghost Sea."
"Once a Ghost leaves the Ghost Sea for a long time, they will slowly dissipate."
"And this glass container contains Ghost Sea water. This Ghost knows very well that it can't go anywhere, and can only honestly return to the glass jar to survive."
"So that's it!" Everyone nodded one after another.
Ye Wentian asked curiously: "Since you have hidden underground for ten thousand years, where was this Ghost caught?"
"That's right! Where did you catch it?" Everyone was confused again.
"Actually, this Ghost was captured ten thousand years ago when our clan was at war with the Ghost Race. For ten thousand years, we have been using this jar of Ghost Sea water to detain it."
Everyone was completely shocked upon hearing this.
"You mean this Ghost has survived for ten thousand years? How is this possible, how could they possess such a long lifespan!" Everyone exclaimed.
Sigh, Geluote sighed and said: "Everyone, this is the terrible thing about the Ghost Race; this race is extremely special. Their reproduction is not the offspring produced by mating as we know it. They want to give birth to offspring, needing the mother to split a part of the soul to transform into a Ghost embryo; the embryo gestates in the Ghost Sea for ten thousand years to develop into a complete Ghost."
"It is precisely because of this peculiar attribute that as long as the Ghost Race stays in the Ghost Sea water, they are almost immortal."
At this time, Chen Fan stared at the sea water in the jar for a moment and asked curiously: "What kind of substance is this Ghost Sea? Why is it so peculiar?"
Geluote glanced at Chen Fan, somewhat surprised.
Other young people in the crowd were all honest and cautious, only Chen Fan was different.
This was already the second question Chen Fan had asked him.
Although he felt that with Chen Fan's status, he was not worthy of asking him questions, in such an occasion, he still chose to answer: "The Ghost Sea is located in the center of the Ru Realm; that place is very magical. All souls that have died in the Ru Realm and have not yet dissipated will be attracted to the Ghost Sea to be dissolved. Over time, the sea water produced this peculiar effect."
"So that's it." Chen Fan suddenly thought of the Other Shore Flower.
The Other Shore Flower is grown by absorbing the essence, Qi, and spirit of the dead.
Could this so-called essence, Qi, and spirit be the souls that have not yet dissipated?
Chen Fan was extremely surprised.
But he immediately realized another problem.
"Senior, I have one last question. Since Ghosts cannot leave the Ghost Sea water for a long time, how did the Ghost Race come to Blue Star to fight your clan ten thousand years ago."
Geluote looked at Chen Fan for a full five seconds this time, then explained: "Ten thousand years ago, two worlds merged, and the Ghost Sea backflowed into Blue Star; Blue Star was almost covered by the Ghost Sea."
Chen Fan got the answer in his heart and retreated from the crowd; he had already seen that Geluote was already tired of him.
This meeting lasted for nearly another hour before it came to an end.
At this time, the Russian Emperor said again: "Everyone, I have discussed with Geluote; we will send ten Martial Saints and ten young people to enter the underground world together to conduct a field investigation of the Three-Eyed Blue Blood Race. Moreover, to express the friendliness of our clan to the human race, Geluote agreed to let the ten young descendants we send enter their holy pool - Soul Washing Pool. This Soul Washing Pool can refine the soul and greatly increase soul power!"
As soon as the words fell, someone asked: "Then how should these ten Martial Saints be chosen? And how should these ten descendants be selected?"
The Russian Emperor was clearly prepared; he smiled: "Everyone has a ranking on the Martial Saint List; take the top ten people to enter, so no one will have any opinions."
"Can!" Those with relatively high strength among the Martial Saints nodded one after another.
The remaining people had opinions, but dared not question.
"Then how to choose the ten descendants?" The US representative spoke!
This time, before the Russian Emperor could speak, Geluote spoke first.
"Friends of the human race, we also want to see the strength of the excellent descendants of the human race. How about this, I brought three young clan members; if you defeat them within the same realm, you can enter our underground world together."
"A challenge within the same realm?" Suddenly, the young people in the venue were eager to try.
Everyone came to a huge martial arts arena at the Kremlin.
The young people present were divided into three groups!
Fifth-Rank, Sixth-Rank, and Seventh-Rank, one group each.
As for those whose strength was not in these three groups, it was a pity, they would miss this competition.
Chen Fan stood in the Fifth-Rank team, somewhat awkward.
He hadn't fought with such low-level ability users for a long time.
At this time, Diana stood to the side and made a face at him.
Chen Fan was somewhat helpless; Diana secretly told him that she had exchanged an Other Shore Flower for a quota to enter the Soul Washing Pool, so she didn't need to compete.
Although Chen Fan still had quite a few Other Shore Flowers in his hand, he didn't intend to follow Diana's approach.
First, his strength was strong enough to get a quota easily.
In addition, he also wanted to see the methods of the Three-Eyed Blue Blood Race.
Not long after, the martial arts arena was divided into three battlefields, and the duels began simultaneously.
Chen Fan didn't go on stage first, but observed the fighting style of the Three-Eyed Blue Blood Race.
The Three-Eyed Blue Blood Race was indeed much weaker in physique compared to the human race, and movements like dodging and shifting in battle appeared less flexible than humans of the same realm.
But because their soul power was stronger, their ability output was much more powerful than humans of the same realm.
Moreover, they incorporated mental force attacks into their attack methods, which gave them an even greater advantage over humans.
On Chen Fan's battle stage, three human youths in a row failed to defeat the Three-Eyed Blue Blood Race member before them.
Many young people who were eager to move didn't want to go on stage, preparing to observe more.
At this time, Chen Fan walked onto the battle stage.
The two had no words and attacked directly.
The Three-Eyed Blue Blood Race member before him was a Fire-type ability user; his powerful flame output ability made Chen Fan even think the other party was a Sixth-Rank ability user.
Countless fireballs with a diameter of one meter were summoned by him, falling from the sky and smashing toward Chen Fan.
Chen Fan held his palm high, and thunder condensed into a shield, blocking the fireballs outside.
The fireballs landed on the shield, producing powerful explosive force, but it was not enough to blast open the Thunder Shield.
But Chen Fan was still very surprised in his heart.
What surprised him was not the power of the fireballs; what surprised him was that the mental force contained in the fireballs was very powerful.
Powerful enough to rival the mental force of a Seventh-Rank Early Stage Grandmaster. ===== CHAPTER 364 =====
