Chapter 36: The Fire of Heaven
Awakening Spirit Sense is extremely challenging.
After all, Yun Ye has already awakened his Spiritual Roots; he is no longer in the initial state, and awakening Spirit Sense now requires several times more effort.
To awaken Spirit Sense, he needs to spread his life energy to his head. Currently, Yun Ye has only connected his limbs and torso, leaving a considerable distance to reach his neck.
According to Yun Ye’s estimation, now that the spiritual void has formed, extracting life energy to flow toward the brain is at least five times more difficult than awakening the Spiritual Roots. It would be nearly impossible unless the Qi Cultivation Technique is perfected.
Of course, if the awakening technique could reach perfection, the requirements would be reduced.
Yun Ye once asked the logistics department if there were any medicines available to assist in awakening Spirit Sense.
The answer was: yes.
But as a reserve member, Yun Ye couldn’t exchange for the Spirit Sense Law, nor could he access any potions or treasures.
Yun Ye had no choice but to give up and chose the hardest path… relying on himself.
In the Hongshan military camp, the prices for all cultivation resources are extremely low, as they are provided at cost by the government, greatly reducing the burden of cultivation.
Yun Ye currently consumes two meals of A-level Superior Food and one meal of herbal medicine while rigorously practicing the Qi Cultivation Technique and the awakening technique.
He spends all his remaining time honing his “killer move.”
In his current state, he must master a technique that completely surpasses his current level.
Otherwise, once the two months end, he won’t be able to stay, and his cultivation speed will be greatly slowed, possibly leading to a complete halt in progress.
The last month passed in the blink of an eye.
Yun Ye stood up in his room, the fire Spiritual Roots patterns extending from his forehead, and his breath was significantly deeper than a month ago.
As he clenched his fist, the air exploded with sound, and Yun Ye exhaled, “I can barely call it completed. If used well, this extreme flame can easily defeat one person.”
Yun Ye referred to his ultimate spirit energy flame as the Extreme Flame or the Flame of Perfection. There are many types of Extreme Flames depending on the direction, but each type reveals new power once it reaches perfection, pushing the flames to new heights.
In past battles, Yun Ye had never used the Extreme Flame and had only ever reached semi-pure flames.
This time, to avoid elimination, Yun Ye would hold nothing back and would give everything to let the perfected Extreme Flame shine brightly.
……
The four gathered at Team Three’s Training Ground.
This time, aside from Yun Wen, most of Team Three’s other members were present, with five out of seven showing up.
Members of the Black Armored Army all wear black armor, but among them, two did not wear armor, which seemed somewhat out of place.
One was a handsome man holding a bronze mirror, paying particular attention to his appearance.
The other was a young man in a black battle robe, holding a string of water beads, whose attire gave off an elegant vibe.
The other three, like Yun Wen, were dressed entirely in black armor; they only differed in their weapons, whether it be a sword or a blade.
Yun Wen did not plan to introduce the team members, glancing at the four newcomers, “The two months are up. You two will pair up and begin; the two winners will stay.”
“Wang Lixian, you go.” Zhu Zhaohong said directly.
Wang Lixian stepped forward and smiled at Yun Ye.
Among them, one person must defeat Yun Ye, and the other would surely forfeit, allowing Zhu Zhaohong to win.
“Now that it’s decided, there’s no changing it. In battle, there are no second chances,” Yun Wen said.
“Yang Shi, Wang Lixian, step forward!”
“……”
Yun Ye was not surprised and stepped forward to bow.
Although Zhu Zhaohong had the highest chance of defeating him, what was Zhu Zhaohong’s identity?
Even if she knew this was the best choice, she wouldn’t choose it.
So, it was Wang Lixian who stepped up.
As the two of them stood on the stage, the battle began.
However, Wang Lixian did not launch an attack. Instead, like Yun Ye’s previous two opponents, he allowed Yun Ye to attack first.
“Spiritual Roots revival.”
As always, Yun Ye activated his Spiritual Roots directly. When fighting Huang Yupeng, he had almost been knocked out by an elbow strike for not activating his Spiritual Roots, leaving a deep impression.
These children of noble families, or talents cultivated by them, completely outclassed him in combat skills, striking with lethal moves as if aiming to kill. If he dared to be careless, he would surely be defeated quickly.
(I only know Zhu Zhaohong has Fire Spiritual Roots; I have no idea about the attributes of the other two.)
(Zhu Zhaohong must be aware that I’ve defeated Huang Xueying and knows a little about my abnormalities. Wang Lixian is likely stronger than Xie Rongfu, so he would be easier to deal with…)
In these two months, they had not interacted with Yun Ye, and their interactions were very limited. The information retrieved from the Rebirth Book did not include their Spiritual Roots.
Yun Ye could not plan a strategy based on known information, so he had to go for it first.
“Flowing Fire!”
Yun Ye launched his attack, engulfing Wang Lixian with a storm of flames.
Semi-pure flames increase the attack range and propagation speed.
Semi-pure flames do not refer to the dispersal of power due to two types of ultimate spirit energy, but instead are close to ultimate spirit energy.
True ultimate spirit energy means one or more forms of spirit completely disappear.
Although semi-pure flames enhanced the attack range and energy propagation speed, the temperature and burning characteristics of the flames were not weakened to zero.
Thus, they still presented a considerable threat.
“Boom!”
Yun Ye clearly felt his flames collide with something, and without hesitation, he jumped backward.
As expected, a flash of cold light sliced through the flames, and Wang Lixian, who was engulfed in water, swung his hand blade and charged forward.
The water attribute strongly counters the fire attribute, far surpassing the suppression of fire on wood. If used correctly, even the strongest flames might not penetrate his defense… Although Yun Ye understood this, he was sure that Wang Lixian could not master such Spiritual Law.
“Azure Flame!”
Extreme Flame increases both flame temperature and propagation speed, while the other two attributes become zero.
Azure Flame does not burn objects, nor can it be separated from the user, but what it brings is incomparable destructive capacity, along with…
“The flames have disappeared?”
Even Yun Wen narrowed his pupils, having never seen this situation before.
“It only disappeared from sight; its essence remains. Ah, truly exquisite. He can rival me; if I let my guard down in front of him, there may not be a second chance.”
The handsome man with the hand mirror hadn’t even looked at Yun Ye, yet he instantly understood the situation.
“Captain, this person clearly couldn’t even achieve Minor Achievement, yet he uses the profound meaning of Spiritual Law…”
The young man with water beads was equally astonished.
“Is that the profound meaning of Spiritual Law? It doesn’t feel right; the profound meaning should be something more unique to me. I can’t see his intent!”
Yun Wen shook his head. As someone who had grasped the rudiments of the profound meaning, he vaguely felt that this was not the case.
“If even the Captain says so, it’s probably true; there are few who master the profound meaning.”
The young man with water beads easily accepted this conclusion.
On the battlefield, as the Azure Flame manifested, the outcome was already determined.
Although Wang Lixian sensed something was wrong, as a member of a noble family, he couldn’t just back down and show weakness, right?
So, Wang Lixian clashed head-on with Yun Ye, using all his strength to unleash his Spiritual Law, but Yun Ye easily cut through all his techniques and punched through his chest.
“Ahhh!”
Wang Lixian screamed in agony.
His flesh turned to ashes upon contact, yet under the protection of his Spiritual Law, he retained consciousness, helplessly watching the crimson spread across his body. The pain and fear shattered his mental defenses.
Yun Ye stepped back and bowed.
“Hmm, Yang Shi wins.”
Yun Wen declared the verdict.
The young man with water beads waved his hand, and the water flowed over, washing away the rapidly spreading crimson heat, while the large hole in Wang Lixian’s chest quickly began to regenerate.
Zhu Zhaohong and Xie Rongfu stared blankly at this scene, both thinking the same thing…
Is this guy really a commoner?
The Azure Flame, the colorless fire from the sky, was the ultimate flame that Yun Ye had thoroughly controlled after adjusting for a long time, completely reversing the absolute disadvantage he had in talent and cultivation time.
