"Zi Mei, if something happens to me, will it affect you?"

At this moment, Su Chen asked aloud.

After all, Zi Mei was in his mind, and he was somewhat worried about this!

If it affects Zi Mei's safety, he really needed to reconsider!

Zi Mei didn't expect Su Chen to be concerned about her safety at this moment, and couldn't help but think to herself:

"This brat, despite his many flaws, seems to still have a decent character!"

"Don't worry, I'm just a Divine Soul Consciousness Body now, there won't be any problems."

Zi Mei said, not lying to deter Su Chen from going in.

"Then that's fine."

Relieved by her words, Su Chen replied with a smile.

"I'll ask you one last time, are you sure you want to try?"

Zi Mei asked seriously.

"Yes, if I don't try, I won't be content!"

Su Chen nodded in agreement.

Upon hearing this, Zi Mei remained silent, thinking to herself:

If this brat wants to go crazy, then I'll join him in the madness!

Even if something unexpected happens, I should have a way to handle it, though it would significantly deplete my energy, and it's uncertain how long it would take to recover!

In fact, Zi Mei didn't know why she decided like that herself; perhaps it was because this kid was thinking of her safety rather than his own just now; or maybe there was an inextricable connection between the two of them, linked by fate!

At this moment, Su Chen was already gradually walking towards the sea of fire, step by step!

For him, with every step forward, he could feel more clearly the searing sensation of the heat waves from the fire sea battering his body!

A thousand meters, which would normally take Su Chen just a blink to traverse, yet he hadn't finished after twenty minutes!

He knew it was dangerous, and although he couldn't resist the urge to try, he dared not let his guard down with each step!

At this moment, he was only a hundred meters away from that fire sea, the heat seemingly threatening to roast him alive, and even circulating True Yuan for protection was almost ineffectual!

Su Chen frowned deeply, gritting his teeth as he continued to walk forward, practically biting his gums until they bled!

No one knew why that fire sea seemed to be fixed in that vast area, not spreading out!

After advancing about fifty more meters, he couldn't withstand it any longer, feeling it was almost enough. Hurriedly, he sat down and prepared to start the Calm Spirit Body Technique!

As soon as he sat down, Su Chen instantly felt the ground as if it had been roasted, and the pain made him pop right up!

But he still slowly sat down again, starting the Calm Spirit Body Technique!

True Fire, especially Spirit Fire, indeed deserves to be the best way for Body Refinement!

Once Su Chen began operating the Calm Spirit Body Technique, he could clearly feel the changes in his body!

Of course, the scorching sensation grew even more intense, as if his whole body was about to ignite!

However, Su Chen forcibly endured the excruciating pain, even employing powerful psychological suggestions to separate physical pain and mental perception as much as possible!

He excelled at this, having taught members of the Eighth Brigade and the Nether Temple to endure pain intolerable to ordinary people using this method!

Even elite special forces from Yunlong trained using these techniques!

For example, not sleeping or eating for many days; entering deep sleep in the shortest time—they all relied on strong psychological suggestions!

At this moment, Su Chen's skin was even starting to crack open, allowing blood to flow, which instantly solidified from the high temperature!

If anyone saw this, they would certainly be shocked!

Yet Su Chen ignored all of this, continuing to practice the Calm Spirit Body Technique. Though he disregarded the pain, he could distinctly feel the changes in his body!

The transformations genuinely thrilled Su Chen. He kept operating the Calm Spirit Body Technique, his skin constantly cracking, solidifying, and healing, repeating the cycle!

.....

Some unknown amount of time later, Su Chen suddenly opened his eyes!

Even though the heat waves from the fire sea still assailed him, over time, Su Chen somewhat adapted to the heat!

He assessed his body and found the strength of his physique surpassed his expectations by far!

This speed was something Su Chen had never dared imagine before!

Instinctively, he glanced towards the fiercely burning sea of fire!

To be honest, he held both fear and desire in his heart!

This was entirely understandable, as the sea of fire was fraught with danger, but at the same time, it presented a great opportunity for him!

After contemplating for a moment, a determined expression appeared on his face. Clenching his teeth, he decided to enter!

If others knew his thoughts, they would undoubtedly think he's crazy!

Yet at this moment, Su Chen had no such reservations; his eyes reflected only the flames!

Naturally, he was continuously operating the Calm Spirit Body Technique!

Otherwise, he would be immediately reduced to ashes!

Standing just a few meters from the fire sea, he gazed at it as if it were also gazing back at him!

With a sinking heart, Su Chen lifted his foot and stepped inside!

Pain!

Burning!

These two sensations seemed to emanate from the depths of his soul the moment he stepped in, contorting the muscles on his face!

Indescribable pain ravaged his nerves, even though he tried using willpower and psychological suggestions to resist the agony!

But everything has its limits, only varying degrees of tolerance!

The pain quickly exceeded his limits, finally making him understand what it meant to wish for death in life!

However, one must go mad to survive, Su Chen knew deeply that to achieve extraordinary gains, one must pay a price far beyond others?!

He's ruthless with enemies, but sometimes the harshest is towards himself!

At this moment, with his entire body in the fire sea, his remaining composure unceasingly practiced the Calm Spirit Body Technique!

Yet the Spirit Fire was extremely formidable!

The instant he entered, the refining process began from his feet!

Yet as soon as a part was refined, a mysterious energy flowed through, returning it to its original state, as though it had never happened!

However, Su Chen could sense his bones, muscles, and so on, seemingly renewed with vitality!

Zi Mei remained concerned for him, but witnessing this miraculous change left her stunned!

She thought to herself:

"Seems like this brat's body refining technique is also extraordinary!"
