Ye Wushuang looked across the stream. Three figures stood there—two men and a woman, all gazing at him with mocking eyes.
“Killed more than ten Qingwei Beasts all by yourself, huh? Impressive,” the young man in the center said with a smile. “Let me introduce myself. My name is Lu He, and I’m from the Yuanlu Empire. Interested in teaming up?”
Ye Wushuang glanced at the trio and replied bluntly, “Sorry, not interested.”
With that, he turned to leave. But from behind him, on an ancient tree, a young man stood with his arms folded, leaning against the trunk. His tone was cold and indifferent: “If you won’t cooperate, then die!”
“Are you all in this together?” Ye Wushuang turned to face the three.
The young man on the tree repeated, “Choose life or death.”
“I choose death,” Ye Wushuang looked directly at the young man and said with a faint smile, “But it’s you who will die!”
Whoosh…
As his words fell, Ye Wushuang transformed into a blur, dashing straight at the young man.
“Think I’m the weakest just because I’m young?”
The young man sneered, clenching his hand into a fist.
“Ox-Goring Fist!”
With a burst of power, six energy whirlpools of the Yuanfu Realm condensed behind him, unleashing a powerful surge of spiritual energy that struck directly at Ye Wushuang.
Ye Wushuang responded with a direct punch.
“Wind-Splitting, Energy-Gathering Fist!”
The terrifying spiritual energy tore through the young man’s attack and struck him directly.
Boom!!!
A deep, resonant collision sound rang out. The young man’s face turned pale, and he spat out a mouthful of blood, his body retreating and crashing to the ground. Blood gushed from his mouth as he looked at Ye Wushuang, reaching out a hand, but he couldn’t utter a single word before his head slumped to the side, dead.
“Joining you would just mean working for you and eventually being killed by you,” Ye Wushuang said, looking at the young man’s corpse on the ground and then at the other three.
But by this time, the three had already been terrified into stupor.
“Run!”
One of them shouted, and the three figures scattered in different directions.
How could Ye Wushuang let them go?
He clenched his hand, gathering spiritual energy once more, and slapped one of them with a palm strike.
Then, with a step forward, he chased after another.
He injured one of them with a palm strike, and the other was also caught and killed by Ye Wushuang.
But when he turned his head, the one named Lu He had already vanished.
“Not bad, he runs pretty fast,” Ye Wushuang remarked as he approached the injured woman.
The woman, spitting out blood with her legs broken by Ye Wushuang, looked at him as if he were a devil. They were all at the fifth level of the Yuanfu Realm, but Ye Wushuang was clearly different from them.
“Don’t kill me, please don’t kill me…” the woman pleaded in terror. “Lu He ran away. The young man you just killed is named Lu Qingye. He’s a prince from our Yuanlu Empire. His elder brother, Lu Qingquan, is a formidable character. If you kill me, you’ll face retaliation!”
Without hesitation, Ye Wushuang delivered a palm strike.
The woman died with her eyes wide open in disbelief.
“If I don’t kill you, won’t I still face retaliation?” Ye Wushuang said as he collected the tokens from the three dead people.
Together, they had less than eight thousand spiritual points.
They had just entered Yulong Mountain and hadn’t even started hunting spiritual beasts. Instead, they had already banded together, planning to prey on the weak.
“Too bad you picked the wrong person…” Ye Wushuang walked away with a leisurely gait.
Soon after, spiritual beasts, drawn by the scent of blood, devoured the three corpses completely.
For five consecutive days, Ye Wushuang roamed the mountains and forests, hunting spiritual beasts.
Ordinary second-tier low-level and mid-level spiritual beasts no longer satisfied him.
In five days, he hunted more than twenty spiritual beasts, and his spiritual points reached over forty thousand.
During this time, some people, seeing him alone, tried to ambush him, but he turned the tables on them and seized their spiritual points.
“At this rate, making it into the top seven in three months won’t be too difficult. But to surpass the total sum of the second to seventh places, it’s far from enough,” Ye Wushuang thought.
Initially, Ye Wushuang hadn’t intended to compete for the seven treasures.
But when he saw Lingjian Mountain display the Tianyan Sword, he was tempted.
This sword was closely related to his eighth divine soul reincarnation.
He had to obtain this sword and find out what happened after the eighth divine soul reincarnation ended!
How did Lingjian Mountain come into possession of this sword?
What had become of the Lingjian Pavilion he founded on the Tianyuan Continent during his eighth divine soul reincarnation?
Earlier in the academy, his physical body had suddenly collapsed because he had already integrated the ninth divine soul for over a year. He needed to find the eighth divine soul to integrate with.
Otherwise, this physical body wouldn’t last much longer.
However, now that his strength was increasing, he could hold on for a while longer, but he couldn’t be sure how long he could persist.
On this day, in a secluded valley within Yulong Mountain, Ye Wushuang sat cross-legged on the ground, with his body surrounded by a halo of spiritual energy. The plants and flowers in the valley, sensing the dispersion of the spiritual energy, all stretched their branches and leaves joyfully.
Five energy whirlpools of the Yuanfu Realm revolved around his body. Gradually, a sixth energy whirlpool began to take shape.
“Phew…” After a long while, Ye Wushuang exhaled, opened his eyes, and his gaze was filled with a bright and piercing light.
“Sixth level of the Yuanfu Realm!”
The battles of the past few days had brought his physical meridians and energy whirlpools to a state of perfection. The breakthrough was expected.
Ye Wushuang clenched his fist, feeling the domineering spiritual energy within his body, and felt a sense of joy.
He currently mastered two Earth-grade spiritual techniques.
One of them was the Wind-Splitting Technique, which had four forms:
– Energy-Gathering Fist
– Energy-Condensing Palm
– Energy-Cleaving Finger
– Energy-Slicing Blade
All four forms required the cultivator to have absolute precision in controlling the spiritual energy.
The other Earth-grade spiritual technique was the Six Elements Unification Sword Technique, which had six forms:
– Soaring Through the Void
– Opening the Tai Chi
– Breaking the Yin and Yang
– Shattering the Nebula
– Subduing the Sun and Moon
– Treading the Rivers and Mountains
Each form had a different way of condensing and unleashing the sword energy.
Ye Wushuang had immersed himself in these two spiritual techniques for a long time and had already mastered them perfectly.
Now that he had reached the sixth level of the Yuanfu Realm, Ye Wushuang planned to cultivate another spiritual technique—The Body-Crushing Technique.
It had a very ordinary name. An Earth-grade top-tier spiritual technique. This technique required a high level of the Yuanfu Realm, at least the seventh level, to cultivate. However, even though Ye Wushuang was only at the sixth level, his physical strength was much stronger than that of someone at the seventh level.
The core of this technique was to constantly destroy the warrior’s own body. In the process of destruction, the physical body would be tempered, and the meridians and blood energy of the warrior would be refined, thereby triggering a transformation of the spiritual energy. When the practitioner’s body surface developed a spiritual membrane, it meant that he had entered the door of this technique. After entering the door, the warrior’s physical energy and blood would multiply.
It also had three attack forms that matched this strong physical energy and blood:
– Mountain-Crushing Hand
– Sea-Breaking Finger
– Body-Splitting Fist
Combined with the cultivated physical body, these three attack forms could easily deal with a Tiangang Realm strong opponent.
The Body-Crushing Technique was created by Ye Wushuang in his previous life. However, the cultivation conditions were too harsh, and few people could successfully cultivate it. Now, Ye Wushuang was ready to give it a try…
