shí jiān zài lǐ fán jì xù shú xī shén hún zhī zhōng qiǎo rán liú shì .
时间在李凡继续熟悉神魂之中悄然流逝.
Time quietly passed as Li Fan continued to familiarize himself with the spirit soul within him.
yǒu le [ yōu hún zān ] zuò wéi qí wù , dà fú tí gāo le lǐ fán duì yú shén hún de gǎn yìng néng lì . biàn shí chéng gōng lǜ yě jìn hū fān bèi . yóu qiān fēn zhī yī , biàn chéng le qiān fēn zhī èr , kān chēng jù dà de fēi yuè !
有了[幽魂簪]作为奇物,大幅提高了李凡对于神魂的感应能力.辨识成功率也近乎翻倍.由千分之一,变成了千分之二,堪称巨大的飞跃!
With the [Yōuhún Zān] as a special item, it significantly enhanced Li Fan's ability to sense his spirit soul. The success rate of identification nearly doubled from one in a thousand to two in a thousand, marking a substantial leap!
" ń , dí què yǒu yòng . kě xī wǒ yuán běn de jī chǔ tài chà le , xiǎng yào tí gāo dào hé gé shuǐ zhǔn , hái xū yào jì xù jiā qiáng xùn liàn ."
"嗯,的确有用.可惜我原本的基础太差了,想要提高到合格水准,还需要继续加强训练."
"Indeed, this is useful. Unfortunately, my original foundation was too weak. To reach the qualified standard, I still need to strengthen my training."
quán shēn xìng de tóu rù jìn gǎn wù shén hún de guò chéng zhōng , jù hún zhū zhōng de jīn guāng hán liàng fēi sù xià jiàng .
全身性的投入进感悟神魂的过程中,聚魂珠中的金光含量飞速下降.
As he fully immersed himself in perceiving his spirit soul, the golden light content within the Soul Gathering Pearl rapidly decreased.
qī tiān zhī hòu , dāng shí wǔ gè yuán běn yǐ jīng bèi táo tài de xìng yùn ér quán dōu chóng xīn fǎn huí huán yǔ bié yuàn zhī hòu , èr jiē duàn de fēng bì xùn liàn zhèng shì zhǎn kāi .
七天之后,当十五个原本已经被淘汰的幸运儿全都重新返回寰宇别院之后,二阶段的封闭训练正式展开.
Seven days later, when all fifteen of the previously eliminated lucky individuals returned to the Huanyu Separate Academy, Phase Two closed training officially began.
xué yuán men huò duō huò shǎo tīng shuō le yī xiē tán tái tāo tā men yīn wèi " yì wài " shēn yǔn de shì qíng , gè zì de shén qíng dōu yǒu xiē wēi miào . bù guò zhòng rén dōu míng bái zhè jiàn shì shuǐ hěn shēn , méi rén dāng zhòng yì lùn .
学员们或多或少听说了一些澹台韬他们因为"意外"身陨的事情,各自的神情都有些微妙.不过众人都明白这件事水很深,没人当众议论.
The students had heard some rumors about Dantai Tao's unexpected demise. Their expressions were somewhat subtle, but everyone understood that this matter was deep and no one dared to discuss it openly.
èr jiē duàn de xùn liàn chú le [ tiān xuán suǒ líng zhèn ] nèi céng zhèn fǎ jié gòu de xué xí zhī wài , jiù shì jì xù jiā shēn duì hún qì hén jì de gǎn yìng zhǔn què lǜ . yāo qiú wù bì dá dào bǎi fēn bǎi de zhǔn què chéng dù .
二阶段的训练除了[天玄锁灵阵]内层阵法结构的学习之外,就是继续加深对魂契痕迹的感应准确率.要求务必达到百分百的准确程度.
Apart from learning the inner layer structure of [Tiānxuán Lock Spirit Array], the second phase training focused on further enhancing their ability to sense soul contract traces, requiring a 100% accuracy rate.
zhè duì yú lǐ fán děng yuán běn jiù bù dá biāo dì tì bǔ chéng yuán lái shuō , shí zài yǒu diǎn kùn nán . hǎo zài jì hóng dào yě kǎo lǜ dào le zhè diǎn , shí fēn " tiē xīn " de wèi zhè xiē diào chē wěi de tóng xué zhǔn bèi le lìng wài de tè xùn .
这对于李凡等原本就不达标的替补成员来说,实在有点困难.好在纪弘道也考虑到了这点,十分"贴心"的为这些吊车尾的同学准备了另外的特训.
This was particularly difficult for Li Fan and other members who had already failed. Fortunately, Ji Hongdào had anticipated this and prepared special training for these "tail-end" students with great consideration.
" nǐ men yuán běn yǐ jīng bèi táo tài le , què yīn wèi mǒu zhǒng biàn gù chóng xīn huí dào le zhè lǐ ."
"你们原本已经被淘汰了,却因为某种变故重新回到了这里."
"You were originally eliminated but have somehow returned here due to some unforeseen circumstances."
" zhè jiù shì nǐ men de mìng shù . suī rán nǐ men tiān fù bù rú rén , dàn nǐ men de mìng , bǐ nà xiē tiān cái gèng hǎo ."
"这就是你们的命数.虽然你们天赋不如人,但你们的命,比那些天才更好."
"This is your fate. Although you lack talent compared to others, your life is better than those geniuses."
" mìng … hěn zhòng yào ."
"命…很重要."
"Life... is very important."
" nǐ men xiān qián zhī suǒ yǐ bèi táo tài , jī běn dōu shì yīn wèi duì yú hún qì yìn jì de gǎn yìng bù hé gé . làng fèi de nà yī kē jù hún zhū , shuō míng le nǐ men bù shàn cháng cǐ dào ."
"你们先前之所以被淘汰,基本都是因为对于魂契印记的感应不合格.浪费的那一颗聚魂珠,说明了你们不擅长此道."
"You were mostly eliminated because of your inability to sense soul contract marks accurately. The wasted Soul Gathering Pearl indicates that you are not skilled in this area."
" jì rán rú cǐ , xiǎng yào què bǎo nǐ men hé gé , jiù zhǐ néng huàn zhǒng fāng fǎ le ." jì hóng dào miàn wú biǎo qíng de kàn zhe lǐ fán děng rén , dà shǒu yī huī .
"既然如此,想要确保你们合格,就只能换种方法了."纪宏道面无表情的看着李凡等人,大手一挥.
"Since that's the case, we can only use a different method to ensure your qualification." Ji Hongdào looked at Li Fan and others without expression, then waved his hand.
cóng shàng xià bā fāng de xū kōng zhōng , tū rán shēn chū shù dào jīn sè suǒ liàn , jiāng tā men shǒu jiǎo quán dōu kǔn zhù .
从上下八方的虚空中,突然伸出数道金色锁链,将他们手脚全都捆住.
Suddenly, several golden chains extended from all directions of space, binding their hands and feet.
wú shì xué yuán men yǒu xiē è rán de biǎo qíng , jì hóng dào lěng shēng dào :" zhè zhǒng fāng fǎ shí fēn xiōng xiǎn , ruò shì jiān chí bú zhù , biàn chéng méi yǒu lǐ zhì de bái chī dōu shì zuì hǎo de jié guǒ . xíng shén jù miè \ tòng kuài qiú sǐ , dōu shì yī zhǒng jiě tuō ."
无视学员们有些愕然的表情,纪宏道冷声道:"这种方法十分凶险,若是坚持不住,变成没有理智的白痴都是最好的结果.形神俱灭\痛快求死,都是一种解脱."
Ignoring the students' surprised expressions, Ji Hongdào said coldly, "This method is extremely dangerous. If you can't endure it, becoming a mindless fool would be the best outcome. Total annihilation or seeking death with pain are also forms of relief."
" zhī qián méi yǒu cǎi yòng zhè zhǒng fāng fǎ , jiù shì yīn wèi duì yú xún cháng xiū shì lái jiǎng , sǐ wáng lǜ tài gāo le ."
"之前没有采用这种方法,就是因为对于寻常修士来讲,死亡率太高了."
"Before, we didn't use this method because the mortality rate for ordinary cultivators was too high."
" bù guò ……" jì hóng dào yǎn zhōng shǎn guò yī sī yì sè .
"不过……"纪宏道眼中闪过一丝异色.
"But..." A hint of an unusual color flashed in Ji Hongdào's eyes.
" jì rán nǐ men de mìng hěn hǎo , nà me xiǎng lái chēng guò qù , wèn tí bù dà ." qīng qīng pāi le pāi bā zhǎng , zhōu wéi jǐng sè hū de biàn huàn .
"既然你们的命很好,那么想来撑过去,问题不大."轻轻拍了拍巴掌,周围景色忽的变幻.
"Since your lives are good, it should be fine to endure." He clapped his hands lightly, and the surroundings suddenly changed.
tāo tāo de hǎi làng shēng chuán lái , lǐ fán děng rén bèi jīn sè suǒ liàn shù fù zài le hǎi biān de jiāo shí zhī shàng . suī rán sì zhī bèi suǒ zhù , dàn bù yǐng xiǎng zì shēn shì jiǎo . lǐ fán wēi mī zhuó yǎn , dǎ liàng zhe qián fāng de " dà hǎi ". zhè hǎi yáng chuán lái de qì xī , ràng tā gǎn dào yǒu xiē máo gǔ sǒng rán .
滔滔的海浪声传来,李凡等人被金色锁链束缚在了海边的礁石之上.虽然四肢被锁住,但不影响自身视角.李凡微眯着眼,打量着前方的"大海".这海洋传来的气息,让他感到有些毛骨悚然.
The sound of surging waves reached Li Fan and others, who were bound on a rocky shore. Although their limbs were restrained, they could still see clearly. Li Fan narrowed his eyes, examining the "ocean" before him. Thebreath from this ocean made him feel somewhat shivers down his spine.
zǐ xì qīng tīng , hǎi làng shēng zhōng , sì hū hái jiā zá zhe wú shù hū háo tòng kǔ zhī shēng ." zhè shì ……" sì hū kàn chū le shén mó , lǐ fán wēi wēi sè biàn .
仔细倾听,海浪声中,似乎还夹杂着无数呼嚎痛苦之声."这是……"似乎看出了什麽,李凡微微色变.
Listening carefully, he heard numerous cries of pain mixed with the waves' sounds. "This is..." Realizing something, Li Fan's expression changed slightly.
" zài nǐ men miàn qián de , jiù shì wàn xiān méng hè hè yǒu míng de [ yuàn hún hǎi ]."
"在你们面前的,就是万仙盟赫赫有名的[怨魂海]."
"What you see in front of you is the notorious [Grievance Soul Sea] of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance."
" qiān bǎi nián lái , fán shì zhàn sǐ zài wàn nián méng lǐng dì zhōng de wǔ lǎo huì xiū shì , tā men cán pò de shén hún , dū huì bèi xī shōu dào zhè piàn [ yuàn hún hǎi ] nèi ."
"千百年来,凡是战死在万年盟领地中的五老会修士,他们残破的神魂,都会被吸收到这片[怨魂海]内."
"For centuries, any deceased Five Elders Association cultivators who died on the alliance's territory had their broken spirit souls absorbed into this [Grievance Soul Sea]."
" rì jī yuè lěi , zhè piàn hǎi zhōng jiū jìng jù jí le duō shǎo shén hún , shuí yě bù zhī dào ."" měi yī dī hǎi shuǐ , dōu kě néng shì jǐ wèi shèn zhì shí jǐ wèi xiū shì shén hún de jí hé ."
"日积月累,这片海中究竟聚集了多少神魂,谁也不知道.""每一滴海水,都可能是几位甚至十几位修士神魂的集合."
"Over time, how many spirit souls have accumulated in this sea no one knows." "Each drop of water could contain the spirits of several or even dozens of cultivators."
" jì rán nǐ men yí gè gè gǎn wù , méi fǎ biàn bié chū hún qì yìn jì . nà me , jiù ràng shù liàng lái de duō diǎn ba ."
"既然你们一个个感悟,没法辨别出魂契印记.那么,就让数量来的多点吧."
"Since you can't sense soul contract marks individually, let's increase their numbers," Ji Hongdào said coldly.
jì hóng dào shuāng yǎn wēi chuí , lěng shēng shuō dào .
纪宏道双眼微垂,冷声说道.
As he spoke, the [Grievance Soul Sea] seemed to be summoned. Without wind, waves suddenly arose.
suí zhe tā de yī xí huà ,[ yuàn hún hǎi ] sì hū shòu dào le zhào huàn . wú fēng qǐ làng , bō tāo dùn shēng .
随着他的一席话,[怨魂海]似乎受到了召唤.无风起浪,波涛顿生.
Towering waves suddenly formed and crashed down on Li Fan and others who were bound to the rocky shore.
shù zhàng gāo dù de jù làng dǒu rán shēng chéng , xiàng zhe bèi suǒ zài hǎi biān jiāo shí de lǐ fán děng rén yíng tóu dǎ lái .
数丈高度的巨浪陡然生成,向着被锁在海边礁石的李凡等人迎头打来.
The moment they came into contact with the water, countless images and emotions instantly appeared in Li Fan's mind.
gēn hǎi shuǐ jiē chù de chà nà , wú shù huà miàn \ wú shù qíng xù , qǐng kè jiān chū xiàn zài lǐ fán nǎo hǎi zhōng .
跟海水接触的刹那,无数画面\无数情绪,顷刻间出现在李凡脑海中.
Regardless of whether the other party could absorb such a massive amount of information within this short time, thecondense spirit soul aggressively spread throughout hissea of consciousness, occupying every blank space.
yě bù guǎn duì fāng dào dǐ néng bù néng zài zhè me duǎn de shí jiān nèi , jiē shòu rú cǐ jù dà de xìn xī . níng jù de shén hún jí qí cū bào de \ zhēng xiān kǒng hòu dì , zài lǐ fán shí hǎi zhōng màn yán .
也不管对方到底能不能在这么短的时间内,接受如此巨大的信息.凝聚的神魂极其粗暴的\争先恐后地,在李凡识海中蔓延.
The sudden impact was overwhelming. Without preparation, Li Fan nearly lost himself.
jiāng yī qiè kòng bái zhī chù , dōu qiáng xíng zhàn jù .
将一切空白之处,都强行占据.
Muttering under his breath, he struggled to maintain his self-awareness in the torrent of spirit souls.
jù liàng de chōng jī zhà rán dào lái , cù bù jí fáng xià , lǐ fán chà diǎn xīn shén shī shǒu , shī qù zì wǒ .
巨量的冲击乍然到来,猝不及防下,李凡差点心神失守,失去自我.
Meanwhile, the Dao Stone in his mind worked at full capacity, sorting and processing countless pieces of information from the spirits.
xīn zhōng àn mà le yī jù , lǐ fán zài zhè shén hún làng cháo xià , jié lì wéi chí zhù běn wǒ yì shí de cún zài .
心中暗骂了一句,李凡在这神魂浪潮下,竭力维持住本我意识的存在.
And perhaps due to the life-threatening situation, the Xuanhuang Refining Heart Spell accelerated its operation significantly.
tóng shí nǎo hǎi zhōng huà dào shí quán lì yùn zhuàn , jiāng wú shù shén hún zhōng chān zá de tiān liàng xìn xī yī yī kuài sù fēn lèi guī dàng \ chǔ lǐ .
同时脑海中化道石全力运转,将无数神魂中搀杂的天量信息一一快速分类归档\处理.
It absorbed all the negative emotions like joy, anger, sorrow, fear, etc., from the spirit souls.
ér sì hū shì yīn wèi shòu dào shēng mìng wēi xiǎn de yuán gù , xuán huáng liàn xīn zhòu cǐ kè yě jí wéi hǎn jiàn de jiā kuài le yùn zhuàn xiào lǜ .
而似乎是因为受到生命危险的缘故,玄黄炼心咒此刻也极为罕见的加快了运转效率.
With both methods working together, it seemed like a long time before Li Fan finally managed to recover.
jiāng shén hún zhōng nà xiē xǐ nù āi jù děng děng fù miàn qíng xù jìn shù xī shōu .
将神魂中那些喜怒哀惧等等负面情绪尽数吸收.
He glanced at his surroundings and noticed one person had failed to withstand the impact. The body dissolved under the waves of the [Grievance Soul Sea], becoming part of the water. Most others' eyes were filled with blankness.
shuāng guǎn qí xià , fǎng fú guò le xǔ jiǔ , lǐ fán cái kān kān tǐng le guò lái .
双管齐下,仿佛过了许久,李凡才堪堪挺了过来.
Only occasionally did black pupils move, indicating that their minds had not been completely extinguished.
yǎn jīng yú guāng kàn xiàng zhōu wéi de xiū shì , jìng rán yǒu yī wèi zhí jiē méi néng chéng shòu zhù , shēn qū zài [ yuàn hún hǎi ] hǎi làng de chōng jī xià , zhí jiē róng jiě .
眼睛余光看向周围的修士,竟然有一位直接没能承受住,身躯在[怨魂海]海浪的冲击下,直接溶解.
Like Li Fan, only a few people managed to recover from the spirit soul surge. However, their grotesque expressions showed the pain they endured.
shén hún yě suí zhī chéng wéi le hǎi shuǐ de yī bù fèn . ér jué dà bù fèn , yǎn móu zhōng dū bèi yí piàn kòng bái zhàn jù .
神魂也随之成为了海水的一部分.而绝大部分,眼眸中都被一片空白占据.
Trying to mimic their suffering, Li Fan didn't have time to think before another wave hit him.
zhǐ shì ǒu ěr hēi sè yǎn zhū zhuǎn dòng , shuō míng zhe tā men de shén zhì shàng wèi wán quán mó miè .
只是偶尔黑色眼珠转动,说明着他们的神智尚未完全磨灭.
Sinking\Resistance\Recovery, then sinking again.
xiàng lǐ fán zhè bān , yǐ jīng zài shén hún cháo shuǐ de chōng jī xià huí fù guò lái de , zhǐ yǒu liǎng sān rén ér yǐ .
像李凡这般,已经在神魂潮水的冲击下回复过来的,只有两三人而已.
In this cycle, after an unknown amount of time, the sea finally calmed down. The chains vanished, and everyone collapsed from exhaustion on the ground.
bù guò tā men de liǎn shàng zhēng níng kě bù de biǎo qíng , shuō míng le tā men cǐ kè zāo shòu de tòng kǔ .
不过他们的脸上狰狞可怖的表情,说明了他们此刻遭受的痛苦.
"Indeed, your lives are good; eleven out of fifteen survived," Ji Hongdào said in surprise.
yě xué zhe lù chū nán yǐ chéng shòu de shén qíng , lǐ fán hái méi lái de jí yǒu tài duō xiǎng fǎ , dì èr gè làng tou jiù jiē zhǒng ér zhì .
也学着露出难以承受的神情,李凡还没来的及有太多想法,第二个浪头就接踵而至.
"The fate path is indeed mysterious and real. According to our previous data, the survival rate for ordinary cultivators under the impact of the [Grievance Soul Sea] is only one percent."
chén lún \ dǐ kàng \ huī fù , zài dù chén lún .
沉沦\抵抗\恢复,再度沉沦.
"Good!" Ji Hongdào seemed pleased. "Today's special training is over. You can go back and rest!"
jiù zài zhè xún huán wǎng fù zhōng , bù zhī guò le duō jiǔ , hǎi shuǐ zhōng yú píng xī . suǒ liàn xiāo shī , zhòng rén tuō lì , diē zuò zài dì shàng .
就在这循环往复中,不知过了多久,海水终于平息.锁链消失,众人脱力,跌坐在地上.
Everyone heaved a sigh of relief. "Continue tomorrow," Ji Hongdào added.
" guǒ rán nǐ men mìng dōu bù cuò , shí wǔ gè rén zhōng , jū rán yǒu shí yí gè chēng le xià lái ." jì hóng dào yǒu xiē jīng tàn dào .
"果然你们命都不错,十五个人中,居然有十一个撑了下来."纪宏道有些惊叹道.
Hearing this, everyone was still shaken, their faces pale. They had survived today purely by luck; who knew if they could endure the next day?
" mìng shù yī dào , guǒ rán xuán zhī yòu xuán . suī bù kě jiàn , dàn què zhēn shí cún zài . yào zhī dào , gēn jù wǒ men zhī qián tǒng jì de shù jù , xún cháng xiū shì [ yuàn hún hǎi ] de chōng jī xià , cún huó lǜ zhǐ yǒu bǎi fēn yī ér yǐ ."
"命数一道,果然玄之又玄.虽不可见,但却真实存在.要知道,根据我们之前统计的数据,寻常修士[怨魂海]的冲击下,存活率只有百分一而已."
Some even began to lose heart.
" hěn hǎo !" jì hóng dào sì hū hěn gāo xìng ." jīn tiān de tè xùn jié shù le . nǐ men xiān huí qù xiū xī ba !"
"很好!"纪宏道似乎很高兴."今天的特训结束了.你们先回去休息吧!"
After all, compared to future prospects in array techniques, their own lives were more important.
zhòng rén bù yóu dì sōng le kǒu qì ." míng tiān jì xù ." jì hóng dào jiē zhe shuō dào .
众人不由地松了口气."明天继续."纪宏道接着说道.
However, these people only received a cold response from Ji Hongdào: "Do you want to quit now? It's too late."
zhòng rén wén yán , jiē shì xīn yǒu yú jì , miàn sè nán kàn . tā men jīn tiān néng chēng xià lái , kě wèi shì quán kào yùn qì . guǐ zhī dào míng tiān hái néng bù néng jiān chí zhù ?
众人闻言,皆是心有余悸,面色难看.他们今天能撑下来,可谓是全靠运气.鬼知道明天还能不能坚持住?
"How precious is the [Grievance Soul Sea]. We cannot easily apply for it," one rejected cultivator said, his face pale as he slumped on the ground.
bù miǎn dé , yǒu xiē rén dǎ qǐ le tuì táng gǔ .
不免得,有些人打起了退堂鼓.
Li Fan showed no fear.
Time quietly passed as Li Fan continued to familiarize himself with the spirit soul within him.
With the [Yōuhún Zān] as a special item, it significantly enhanced Li Fan's ability to sense his spirit soul. The success rate of identification nearly doubled from one in a thousand to two in a thousand, marking a substantial leap!
