"This pool water contains the Bloodline Essence of the Heavenly Flood Dragon Clan. It seems there must be something unusual at the bottom of the pool."
Ye Yunfei's Soul Power immediately extended downward to sense the depths of the water.
When his Soul Power probed down to a depth of five hundred meters, he encountered a pressure.
This pressure seemed to be a type of Bloodline Pressure!
"Could it be... that there's actually a heavenly jiao beneath this pool?"
An incredible thought flashed through Ye Yunfei's mind.
"I just don't know if this heavenly jiao is alive or dead. If it's alive, with my current strength, I'm definitely no match. If it's dead, then it's equivalent to a treasure of astonishing value."
Ye Yunfei secretly mused to himself.
His Soul Power continued to probe deeper into the pool. At a thousand meters, the pressure gradually increased. When his Soul Power reached two thousand meters, probing further downward became increasingly difficult.
A powerful Bloodline Pressure continuously surged up, blocking Ye Yunfei's Soul Power.
"Let's go down and take a look."
Ye Yunfei made a risky decision.
With that, Ye Yunfei's figure shifted as he began to sink downward into the depths of the pool water.
When he descended to one hundred meters, a formidable Bloodline Pressure crushed upward from below.
Ye Yunfei felt his body's movements becoming difficult.
"Dean Shangguan was indeed correct. Descending beyond a depth of one hundred meters subjects one to immense Bloodline Pressure. It's very easy to explode and die."
Ye Yunfei nodded.
However, having once been a Heavenly Emperor, Ye Yunfei had plenty of techniques at his disposal. A little Bloodline Pressure was hardly enough to trouble him.
"Bloodline Pressure is actually the energy of the bloodline. The bloodline energy of the Heavenly Flood Dragon Clan happens to be perfect for supplementing the Azure Dragon Divine Beast within the Nine Palaces Totem Wheel."
Ye Yunfei focused his will.
Boom!
The Nine Palaces Totem Wheel slowly rose from behind his back. The Azure Dragon on the nine-grid pattern suddenly opened its dragon maw and took a powerful breath.
Whoosh!
The energy pressure surging up from the pool's bottom was continuously sucked into the Azure Dragon's mouth.
"The Bloodline Essence of the Heavenly Flood Dragon Clan can also be used to cultivate the Heavenly Demon Blood-Refining Body Art. I was just worrying about where to find high-level bloodline essence to cultivate the sixth layer of the Heavenly Demon Blood-Refining Body Art. I never imagined the Bloodline Essence of the Heavenly Flood Dragon Clan would be delivered right to my doorstep."
Ye Yunfei muttered to himself.
As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Yunfei directly activated a secret technique to refine bloodline essence and began to extract the Heavenly Flood Dragon Clan's Bloodline Essence contained within the pool water.
Immediately, Ye Yunfei felt the pressure vanish.
The Bloodline Pressure transmitted upward from the pool's depths was partly absorbed by the Azure Dragon Divine Beast of the Nine Palaces Totem Wheel, and partly refined into Bloodline Essence.
Thus, Ye Yunfei's body continued to descend rapidly.
At this moment, on the surface of the water...
"Huh? Where's Ye Yunfei? How did he disappear?"
Xiao Hui, being the closest to Ye Yunfei, was the first to notice and exclaimed in surprise.
Immediately, the other four students were startled awake. They opened their eyes and looked toward the spot where Ye Yunfei had been meditating.
"Where did that guy run off to? He didn't... dive to the bottom, did he?"
Wen Zi said in astonishment.
"Hahaha... Could it be that Ye Yunfei brat sought his own death, actually wanting to dive to the pool's bottom? Dean Shangguan said that with our strength, if we descend past one hundred meters, death is certain. It seems that kid is in grave danger!"
Feng Yun'ao burst into loud laughter.
"Ye Yunfei, you'd better not die down there. Otherwise, I won't have the chance to take revenge with my own hands later."
A cold smile also appeared on Qin An's face.
Xiao Hui and Dugu Huan were extremely anxious.
"This guy, why does he love to stir up trouble like this!"
Xiao Hui complained.
Splash...
Suddenly, Dugu Huan's figure moved as he sank downward into the pool water.
"Dugu Huan! What are you doing? It's dangerous down there!"
Xiao Hui exclaimed in alarm.
"I'm going down to find Ye Yunfei."
Dugu Huan's voice drifted up.
"I'll go down and take a look too."
Xiao Hui gritted her teeth, and her body also descended into the pool water.
"What is that guy up to?"
A puzzled expression appeared on Wen Zi's small face. Then, her body also abruptly sank downward into the pool water.
"Haha, good, everyone go and die!"
Feng Yun'ao gloated, laughing maniacally. His repeated defeats at Ye Yunfei's hands had somewhat twisted his personality. In his words and actions, there was a hint of a hysterical, pathological state.
Beneath the pool water, Dugu Huan, Xiao Hui, and Wen Zi continuously descended.
When they reached a depth of seventy to eighty meters, a massive Bloodline Pressure surged upward with overwhelming force.
"Such terrifying pressure! No wonder Dean Shangguan warned us not to descend beyond one hundred meters in depth!"
Wen Zi cried out in surprise.
Immediately, the True Phoenix bloodline within Xiao Hui's body began to circulate, resisting the pressure from below.
The Taiyi Tian Gang Essence within Wen Zi's body also manifested, enveloping her body's surface to resist the pressure.
Although Dugu Huan's strength was not inferior to Xiao Hui and Wen Zi's, relying solely on his own spiritual power made it quite difficult for him to withstand the pressure. He struggled noticeably, and his movements became arduous.
Even Xiao Hui and Wen Zi had pale, delicate faces.
When they descended to one hundred meters, Dugu Huan began to be unable to bear it, blood seeping from the corner of his mouth.
Xiao Hui and Wen Zi also found their movements difficult.
"This is terrible! Even here, we can't see that guy Ye Yunfei. He must have descended beyond a hundred meters."
Wen Zi suddenly exclaimed.
Hearing this, Dugu Huan and Xiao Hui's hearts sank. Dean Shangguan had said that with the six students' strength, descending beyond one hundred meters meant certain death.
Ye Yunfei was absolutely in grave danger!
"Why is that guy like this! Does he not want to live?"
Xiao Hui's beautiful eyes stared blankly downward, filled with anxiety, anger, and worry.
Just at that moment, suddenly...
"What are you all doing! Hurry back to the surface! Are you trying to get yourselves killed?"
A voice came up from the depths of the pool.
"Ye Yunfei!"
Xiao Hui, Wen Zi, and Dugu Huan cried out in pleasant surprise simultaneously.
"Ye Yunfei, what are you up to? Do you have a death wish?"
Wen Zi immediately shouted downward.
"I'm fine. I just came down to take a look. You go up immediately. If you keep descending, you'll die."
Ye Yunfei's voice came up again.
"Ye Yunfei, what are you doing down there? It's too dangerous. Come up quickly!"
Xiao Hui shouted downward.
"I'm just checking things out down here. I'll come up soon. You all hurry back to the surface. Don't cause trouble for me."
Ye Yunfei's voice came up.
"Such a freak. He really sounds like he's fine!"
Wen Zi was utterly astonished.
"Ye Yunfei, what depth are you at now?"
Wen Zi asked curiously.
"One thousand five hundred meters. Alright, enough talking. I'm busy."
Ye Yunfei's voice came up once more.
Then, there was silence.
One thousand five hundred meters!
Wen Zi, Xiao Hui, and Dugu Huan were all stunned on the spot, doubting their own hearing.
