Ye Chen looked at the three-headed python in front of him, and his heart couldn't help tightening. But he quickly composed himself, and a determined look emerged in his eyes. The three-headed python sensed Ye Chen's presence. Its three heads simultaneously let out low roars, and a black mist spewed from its mouth, sweeping towards Ye Chen. Ye Chen flashed his figure and swiftly avoided this mist. He knew well that he couldn't engage in a head-on confrontation with this python and had to find its weakness. Ye Chen began to circle around the three-headed python, constantly probing its attack patterns. The three heads of the python launched attacks from different directions at an extremely fast speed, and Ye Chen narrowly escaped being hit several times. "Boy, pay attention to its abdomen. There might be its weakness." Elder Spirit's voice rang out in Ye Chen's mind. Upon hearing this, Ye Chen's gaze tightly fixed on the abdomen of the three-headed python. In the instant of avoiding another attack, he noticed that the scales on the python's abdomen seemed to have some damaged marks. Ye Chen's heart filled with joy. Taking advantage of the gap in the python's attack, he fiercely charged towards the python's abdomen. The python sensed Ye Chen's intention and quickly twisted its body to try and stop him. But Ye Chen's speed was extremely fast and instantly approached the python's abdomen. He raised the long sword in his hand, infused it with spiritual energy, and thrust it forcefully towards the damaged scales. The long sword pierced into the python's abdomen, and black blood gushed out. The three-headed python let out a painful roar and frantically twisted its body, attempting to shake Ye Chen off. Ye Chen tightly held onto the long sword and refused to be shaken off. At the same time, he continued to infuse spiritual energy into the long sword, trying to inflict more severe damage on the python. The python's attacks became even more fierce, and Ye Chen's body also acquired many wounds. But he gritted his teeth and refused to let go in the slightest. Finally, under Ye Chen's continuous attacks, the movements of the three-headed python gradually became sluggish. Ye Chen seized the opportunity to pull out the long sword and once again forcefully thrust it towards the python's abdomen. This time, the python could no longer withstand it, and its huge body collapsed to the ground with a thud. Ye Chen let out a sigh of relief and dragged his exhausted body to the side of the Spiritual Heart Fruit. The Spiritual Heart Fruit emitted an alluring light, and Ye Chen carefully picked it. "Finally got you." Ye Chen showed a relieved smile on his face. However, at this moment, he was completely exhausted, and the wounds on his body were constantly bleeding. He found a relatively safe place, sat down and began to heal his wounds. "Boy, well done. But this is only the beginning. Next, you need to absorb the power of the Spiritual Heart Fruit as soon as possible and break through the bottleneck." Elder Spirit said. Ye Chen nodded. After adjusting his state, he put the Spiritual Heart Fruit into his mouth. The Spiritual Heart Fruit melted as soon as it entered his mouth, and a powerful and pure spiritual energy instantly spread within his body. Ye Chen quickly operated the cultivation technique to guide this spiritual energy to impact the bottleneck. The spiritual energy rushed through his meridians, bringing waves of intense pain, but Ye Chen endured the pain and persisted. After some arduous efforts, Ye Chen finally felt a hint of looseness in the bottleneck. His heart filled with joy, and he focused even more, fully charging towards the bottleneck. "Break for me!" Ye Chen shouted loudly, and the spiritual energy within his body broke through the restraint of the bottleneck like a flood. Ye Chen immediately felt a powerful force surging within his body, and his aura also became stronger. "Success, Master. I have broken through to the eighth stage of the Lingchu Realm!" Ye Chen excitedly said. "Don't be proud. This is only a small breakthrough. The road ahead is still long." Elder Spirit reminded. Ye Chen packed up his things and prepared to return to Wutan City. On the way back, he encountered several waves of attacks from magical beasts, but at this time, with his greatly enhanced strength, he easily repelled these magical beasts. When Ye Chen returned to the Ye Family, it was already several days later. "Chen'er, where have you been these days?" Ye Zhan saw Ye Chen return and asked with concern. Ye Chen told his father about his experiences in the Black Wind Mountains. Ye Zhan looked at his son with relief and said, "Chen'er, you have really grown up. But you must remember that the path of cultivation is full of dangers. You must be careful." Ye Chen nodded and said, "Father, I know. I will definitely work harder and not let you down." In the following days, Ye Chen did not slack off in the slightest and continued to cultivate hard. His goal was to make the Lin Family pay for their contempt and insult on the martial arts stage three years later.
