The Mystical Forest was a sprawling labyrinth of towering trees and swirling mists. Every step Fen Tian took was fraught with danger. Savage beasts roamed the forest, and deadly traps lay hidden beneath the foliage.
On his third day, Fen Tian stumbled upon a shimmering pool of energy, glowing faintly in the moonlight. Recognizing its potential, he cautiously entered the pool.
As the energy seeped into his body, Fen Tian felt his cultivation advance rapidly, breaking through to the Late Foundation Stage. However, the process was excruciating. His muscles screamed in pain, and his bones felt as though they were being reforged. Despite this, Fen Tian endured, emerging from the pool stronger than ever.
This newfound strength was tested immediately as a ferocious Spirit Beast attacked him. Using his refined techniques and spear, Fen Tian managed to subdue the creature, securing his first major victory in the forest.
