Ye Wushuang led Qing Shiyu and the other three, making their way through the mountainous region.
Since the trial at Lingyun Mountain, Xiao Yuan and the other two had already noticed that Ye Wushuang seemed to have a knack for discovering wondrous places. And during this Tengyun Chart trial battle, it was even more evident.
The five figures paused outside a valley.
“Here?” Qing Chengtian looked into the valley, his curiosity piqued.
“Mm-hmm.”
Ye Wushuang continued, “We were here a few days ago. This place indeed holds a spiritual site left by the elders.”
“However, there are three first-tier Iron-Striped Lions that have been drawn here by the allure of the treasures sealed within the site.”
Iron-Striped Lions!
Upon hearing this, the expressions of Qing Shiyu and the other three changed dramatically.
The Iron-Striped Lion is the overlord among first-tier spiritual beasts—so powerful that even dozens of magical wolves would not dare to provoke it. Although classified as a first-tier spiritual beast, it actually possesses the strength to contend with the first level of the Yuanfu realm, not to mention that there are three of them here.
Ye Wushuang added, “I had thought that these three Iron-Striped Lions would not be able to break through the seal and would leave after a few days. It seems, however, that they have not yet departed…”
It must be said that the elders of Qingyun Academy had indeed put a great deal of thought into this. The so-called spiritual site is where the elders have sealed away treasures, but deliberately allowed these treasures to emit a certain amount of spiritual energy to attract spiritual beasts to gather.
In this way, for disciples who wish to obtain the treasures within the spiritual site, they not only need to break the seal but also deal with the spiritual beasts that covet the same treasures within the site. A double challenge!
“What do we do now?” Xiao Yuan asked.
Ye Wushuang smiled and said, “I’ll take care of the three Iron-Striped Lions. As usual, you all just watch from the side.”
The Iron-Striped Lions possess the peak strength of the ninth level of the Ningshuai realm, a level that the three of them indeed cannot interfere with.
Qing Shiyu volunteered, “I’ll deal with one of them, and you handle the other two.”
Ye Wushuang looked at Qing Shiyu with a skeptical expression…
“I’ve also reached the ninth level of the Ningshuai realm. I need to give it a try!”
Over these ten days, as Qing Shiyu spent time with Ye Wushuang and the others, Ye Wushuang had to admit that he had a new appreciation for the princess. When Qing Shiyu focused on cultivation, her progress was naturally rapid, thanks to her Pure Yuan spiritual body. What’s more, she had been particularly eager to participate in the recent battles.
“Very well,” Ye Wushuang said. “You deal with one, and I’ll handle the other two. First, we’ll kill the Iron-Striped Lions, then break the seal to see what treasure is hidden within this spiritual site.”
“Great!” Qing Shiyu’s face lit up with excitement.
Xiao Yuan, Qing Chengtian, and Wang Xueqi moved to the side of the valley, hiding halfway up the mountain slope, watching the scene unfold.
Ye Wushuang and Qing Shiyu entered the valley directly.
The Iron-Striped Lions, with their fur as shiny as black iron, had bodies spanning over three zhang in length, and their eyes glowed with a blood-red light. Seeing the two approaching, the three originally languid Iron-Striped Lions now had a fierce glint in their eyes.
Beneath the massive paws of the three Iron-Striped Lions lay a ground of bones, some of which still had scraps of flesh clinging to them. Clearly, Ye Wushuang and his companions were not the first disciples to arrive here. However, those who had come before them had already become the meals of these three Iron-Striped Lions.
Qing Shiyu now grasped her long sword, her expression somewhat tense.
“There’s no need to be nervous…” Ye Wushuang said calmly, “The fur of the Iron-Striped Lions is as hard as iron, but once their fur is spread out and their skin is exposed, that is their weak point. Just attack there.”
“Okay.”
With that, Ye Wushuang’s figure shot forward.
At the seventh level of the Ningshuai realm, Ye Wushuang had opened seven major meridians. His internal spiritual energy was stronger than that of someone at the ninth level of the Ningshuai realm.
“Blue Thunder Palm!”
With a low shout in his mind, the Blue Thunder Palm technique activated. Eighteen palm prints overlapped into a single powerful palm strike, which he unleashed directly.
Boom…
One of the Iron-Striped Lions lunged at Ye Wushuang but was repelled by the palm strike, its massive body staggering back.
The Iron-Striped Lion, having not expected such a powerful force from the young man, spread its fur wide, and its spiritual energy surged instantly. From within its fur, sharp blades like needles shot out in all directions, attacking Ye Wushuang relentlessly…
