Since the Hundred Nations Martial Contest began, and everyone was transported into the mountains, the battles had already commenced.
After Ye Wushuang decided to start cultivating the Body-Crushing Technique, he began hunting spiritual beasts while also searching for dangerous areas within Youlong Mountain.
On this day, Ye Wushuang’s figure appeared beneath a mountain stream.
The surrounding mountains, towering a thousand zhang high, seemed to pierce the sky with their sheer cliffs.
Between the mountains, a waterfall cascaded down, producing a deafening roar that shook the air.
At this moment, Ye Wushuang stood naked from the waist up, beneath the waterfall, allowing the water falling from the heights to pound against his body.
After a full teacup of time, red marks began to appear on Ye Wushuang’s skin.
Then, his flesh began to tear under the impact of the water, and blood started to flow…
Only then did Ye Wushuang step out from under the waterfall and move to the edge of the cold mountain pool, where he began to breathe in and out, guiding the flow of his own spiritual energy.
This was the essence of cultivating the Body-Crushing Technique.
Constantly destroying one’s own flesh and then mending the wounds, in this process, one strengthens the blood and meridians, thereby enhancing the quality of one’s spiritual energy.
Ye Wushuang had been doing this repeatedly for three days.
And finally, he had cultivated the first layer of spiritual membrane.
Only by forming the spiritual membrane could one be considered to have entered the door of this technique.
Taking out a piece of dried meat, Ye Wushuang began to chew on it voraciously.
It was only because of him, having laid a solid foundation after integrating the ninth reincarnation, with his strong physical meridians, that he could cultivate this technique so effortlessly.
If it were someone else, such a method of cultivation might leave them with hidden ailments before they even succeeded!
“A single layer of spiritual membrane is just the beginning. To truly perfect it, one must condense nine layers of spiritual membrane. By then, even at the sixth level of the Yuanfu realm, it should not be difficult to kill someone at the Tian Gang realm with a single punch…” Ye Wushuang muttered to himself as he chewed on the dried meat.
In this trial, time was the most precious thing.
Therefore, after hunting spiritual beasts, he would turn them into dried meat, which was convenient to eat and ensured he had enough strength to replenish himself.
As for the taste… it was really not very good.
Ye Wushuang also thought about taking spiritual pills to replenish his energy, but spiritual pills would ultimately have an impact on one’s physical body.
He could certainly refine them himself, but where would he find the time and conditions?
He idly pondered these thoughts in his mind.
Suddenly.
Splash…
The water in front of him splashed, and the cold water drenched Ye Wushuang, also soaking the dried meat in his hand.
“Er…”
Ye Wushuang was taken aback, and then he saw a figure floating on the surface of the cold pool in front of him.
In a short while, the figure drifted to the shore.
It was a young woman.
She looked to be about sixteen or seventeen years old, with a white dress that had multiple tears, revealing skin as fair and smooth as jade.
Her figure was slender and graceful, and as she lay on the shore, a sword wound in the center of her chest was bleeding, staining the water red.
Ye Wushuang reached out and pulled the woman onto the shore, only to see the token on her wrist.
“Su Jin Yue!”
Ye Wushuang flipped over the back of the token and saw the number on it, his expression changing.
“Eleven hundred and twenty thousand!”
In less than ten days since the trial began, she already had over one hundred and ten thousand spiritual value points!
Without thinking further, Ye Wushuang brought the token close to his own.
However, the spiritual value points did not transfer!
“She’s not dead…”
Ye Wushuang sighed.
At that moment, the woman suddenly opened her eyes, sat up abruptly, and holding a black dagger, lunged straight at Ye Wushuang’s neck.
Boom…
Ye Wushuang was already on guard, and he quickly grabbed the woman’s wrist with his palm.
“I haven’t killed you yet, and you want to kill me?”
Ye Wushuang tightened his grip, causing the woman pain, and the dagger clattered to the ground.
The woman’s face was pale, but her beautiful black hair, wet from the water, looked quite charming.
Her curved willow-like eyebrows, even with a murderous look in her eyes, were still captivating.
Her delicate nose, slightly flushed cheeks, cherry-like lips stained with a few drops of pool water, her flower-like oval face was as smooth as jade, and her tender, snowy skin was like ice and snow.
Such a rare beauty with an exceptional temperament was truly uncommon.
The woman, already severely injured, turned red in the face and spat out a mouthful of blood after being subdued by Ye Wushuang.
At that moment.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh…
Dozens of figures landed beneath the mountain stream.
These twenty-odd people, judging by their attire, were divided into two major camps.
And each camp had two leaders.
“Hm?”
The leader of one side, a young man, looked at Ye Wushuang and Su Jin Yue and was taken aback.
“Friend, this is none of your business,” the young man said directly.
Ye Wushuang smiled and stood up, saying, “I didn’t plan on meddling in other people’s affairs.”
With that, Ye Wushuang began to retreat.
Seeing Ye Wushuang’s action, a flash of contempt flickered in Su Jin Yue’s eyes.
“He can’t leave!”
But at that moment, the leader of the other camp, a young woman, coldly shouted, “Du Ruyun, killing Su Jin Yue is of great importance. If the news leaks out, how could the disciples of Lingjian Mountain let us go?”
Hearing this, the young man realized something.
He looked at Ye Wushuang with a hint of killing intent and said coldly, “Then I’m afraid I have to apologize, friend.”
Ye Wushuang, hearing this, looked at Su Jin Yue, who was about to faint, and then at the twenty-odd people in front of him. He sighed, “I didn’t plan on meddling, but you guys… insist on making me meddle.”
“Du Yun, kill him.”
The young man named Du Ruyun directly ordered one of his subordinates.
A young man holding a spear stepped forward, looking at Ye Wushuang with a mocking expression.
Whoosh…
Du Yun thrust his spear at Ye Wushuang.
In his eyes, this spear thrust would easily pierce through Ye Wushuang’s chest.
But the next moment.
The spear moved like the wind, but Ye Wushuang’s figure flickered, effortlessly dodging the spear’s tip.
Boom!!!
Then, Ye Wushuang grabbed the spear shaft and channeled his spiritual energy, causing a vibration.
“Ugh…”
Du Yun felt a counter-shock force from the spear, causing his tiger’s mouth to split open and blood to flow out. He had no choice but to release the spear handle.
But the next moment.
Ye Wushuang, holding the spear with one hand, took a step forward and directly stabbed the spear handle through Du Yun’s neck.
Spurt…
Blood gushed out like a fountain.
Du Yun looked at the young man in front of him, dying with his eyes wide open in disbelief.
He couldn’t understand how the young man had so smoothly disarmed him and then killed him with such ruthless efficiency.
“Du Yun!”
At this moment, Du Ruyun’s face changed.
Du Yun was at the seventh level of the Yuanfu realm, and this young man’s move clearly showed he was at the fifth level of the Yuanfu realm.
“Be careful!”
Immediately, the others became cautious.
They had thought he was a timid trial participant hiding here, but he turned out to be a tough opponent!
Ye Wushuang threw away the spear and said helplessly, “I’m a very peaceful person and don’t like to meddle in other people’s affairs, but you guys insist on making me…”
“Since that’s the case, I’ll take the spiritual value points from all of you!”
As soon as these words left his mouth, Du Ruyun looked at the other side and shouted, “Gu Wentai, Feng Ling, be careful. This guy is not right…”
“Do I need your reminder?”
The young man named Gu Wentai was also surprised, saying, “At the fifth level of the Yuanfu realm, to have such strength, he must be a hidden seed disciple from some sect.”
