Unrivaled Medicine God, page 58
Middle-grade Tier 2 martial technique, Prajna Palm!
A cold smile flashed across the corner of Su Yishan's mouth as if he saw Ye Yuan being heavily injured and vomiting blood.
A puny little Ninth Level Essence Qi Realm dared to make a move in front of him. If that was not courting death, then what was?
No matter how powerful the Stacking Waves Layered Palm was, it was but an incomplete Tier 1 martial technique. There was still some use when dealing with First Level Spirit Condensation Realm martial artists.
Who was he, Su Yishan? Peak Third Level Spirit Condensation Realm, and a pinnacle character in the top ten of the Martial Roll!
Compared to the Stacking Waves Layered Palm, the might of the middle-grade Tier 2 Prajna Palm was a level higher.
In terms of essence energy, he was more than a level stronger than Ye Yuan!
No matter how one looked at it, there was no reason for Ye Yuan to remain uninjured.
The way Su Yishan saw it, Ye Yuan was seeking death.
He was wary of Wu Luochen but not Ye Yuan. Although Ye Yuan was recently in the limelight, his actual strength was at best slightly stronger than newly advanced Heaven rank students.
Third Level Spirit Condensation Realm and Ninth Level Essence Qi Realm are in completely different weight classes!
Boom!
A violent confrontation. Su Yishan remained motionless, but Ye Yuan fell back over a dozen steps!
Su Yishan furrowed his brows. He was very displeased with the effects of this palm. The result had a huge discrepancy from his expectations.
Even though it was a hasty response, he had gathered 70% to 80% essence energy. It was just impossible for a Ninth Level Essence Qi Realm to withstand it.
But there did not seem to be major issues with Ye Yuan currently other than his essence energy being a little disorderly.
A Third Level Spirit Condensation Realm was actually unable to completely crush a puny Ninth Level Essence Qi Realm in a faceoff!
Su Yishan used to turn his nose up whenever he heard how monstrous Ye Yuan was. Only now that he personally matched up with Ye Yuan, did he realize the degree of Ye Yuan's monstrousness!
"No way! Ye Yuan is actually fine? That was the Prajna Palm!"
"Just now, I still thought that Ye Yuan was too reckless. I didn't think that his strength was actually so great!"
"Just based on that palm just now, he has probably already firmly entered the Martial Roll, right?"
"Pretty much so!"
Very clearly, Ye Yuan's performance also exceeded everyone's expectations.
One had to know that those watching the battle were all Heaven rank students. Among them, there were quite a few who were experts on the Martial Roll.
They were all too clear on the power of the Prajna Palm. That was a middle-grade Tier 2 martial technique. Furthermore, they heard that Su Yishan had already trained it to the Large Success rank. It had extraordinary might.
Ye Yuan was actually perfectly fine after exchanging a palm with him!
Ye Yuan's performance previously was indeed sufficiently monstrous. But no matter how monstrous, it only meant that his potential was limitless. It did not represent how great his strength was.
Ye Yuan's skirmishes before were all within the Essence Qi Realm. Even Lin Tiancheng was at most a half-baked Spirit Condensation Realm.
Lin Tiancheng's strength when placed among Heaven rank students was among the lowest at the bottom of the ranking.
Even though Ye Yuan broke through to the Ninth Level Essence Qi Realm now, the way many people saw it, he was merely slightly stronger than the average Heaven rank students.
But only now, did the Heaven rank students understand that Ye Yuan already possessed the strength to talk on equal standing with them!
The present Ye Yuan was no longer that First Level Essence Qi Realm rookie from a month back. He was a true Martial Roll expert!
After calming down his disorderly essence energy, Ye Yuan also furrowed his brows.
"Hey, if you continue watching the show, then this place doesn't need you."
Ye Yuan was very dissatisfied with Wu Luochen's performance. He knew that Wu Luochen wanted to borrow Su Yishan's hand to probe his strength. This made him very disgruntled.
"H-haha, it was too sudden just now, didn't react in time." Wu Luochen cracked a laugh.
Facing Ye Yuan, Wu Luochen put away his zombie face that would not change in ten-thousand years, and smiled sheepishly, making Su Yishan gloomier.
Who said that Wu Luochen was dumb? He was sharp as hell!
Ye Yuan rolled his eyes, and could not be bothered with him. He merely said, "I'm attacking. You do as you see fit."
Ye Yuan's words made everyone faceplant on the ground. Even though he retreated just now, the gap between Su Yishan and him was also very obvious. It was clear that there was not much hope.
He still wanted to be foolhardy under this sort of circumstance?
Ye Yuan activated Instant Flash and pointed a finger at Su Yishan.
Absolute Yang Finger!
Presently, the might of the Absolute Yang Finger unleashed by Ye Yuan already surpassed the Eighth Layer Wave!
The cultivation law of the Spirit Bristle Divine King was no joke.
"Courting death!" Su Yishan responded to different situations using the same method. Prajna Palm was unleashed once more!
But this time around, Wu Luochen was not a spectator.
At the same time Ye Yuan attacked, he also moved!
Wu Luochen swept his leg at Su Yishan!
Compared to Ye Yuan's attack, Wu Luochen's attack clearly held a greater threat.
Under the two's pincer attack, Su Yishan did not panic the slightest bit.
Su Yishan's movement technique was similarly a genuine Tier 2 martial technique, with a speed of 1.5 times higher than Wu Luochen!
It was this time difference of 1.5 times which let him force Ye Yuan back with a palm first, and narrowly dodge Wu Luochen's leg.
At this moment, Su Yishan's strength as the number ten on the Martial Roll was displayed in its full!
Soon, the three people were locked in battle. The two parties actually fought to a standstill, with neither party able to do anything to the other.
Of course, the ones leading the battle were still Su Yishan and Wu Luochen. Ye Yuan was reduced to a supporting cast.
Chapter 113. Shaved |
Ye Yuan did not seem to be unhappy about being in a supporting role.
He knew that he was not Su Yishan's match, so he deliberately dragged Wu Luochen into the water.
Su Yishan and Wu Luochen were engrossed in their fierce fighting. He would occasionally throw in a distraction, which would immediately fluster Su Yishan.
This made Su Yishan so depressed that he wanted to cough up blood.
Su Yishan was a little wary of Wu Luochen, but his number ten on the Martial Roll was not obtained through Su Yubai. His strength was truly incomparably great.
Matching up with Wu Luochen, he had confidence in defeating him within a hundred exchanges.
But with Ye Yuan causing trouble by the side, it swiftly increased the pressure significantly.
Although Ye Yuan's attack did not pose much threat to him, Ye Yuan's attacking power was indeed mighty. Even he, Su Yishan, would absolutely not feel good taking on an Eighth Layer Wave or Absolute Yang Finger.
However, from another perspective, this also proved Su Yishan's might.
He was not in a disadvantageous position even when fighting two people alone!
"The top twenty in the Martial Roll are all a bunch of sickos! Su Yishan and Wu Luochen became much stronger after the last Battle of Martial Roll!"
"Yeah. The top twenty students of the Martial Roll are of a different level. The top twenty and the next twenty's power difference is enormous! The top twenty students' ranking would also change, but the majority of the time, it's inter-swapping positions. It's too difficult for those after rank twenty to try to squeeze inside."
"En. After so long, only a sicko like Wu Luochen could charge into the top twenty. I feel that he might become the next Senior Apprentice Brother Long!"
"I also have that feeling. This fellow's too sick! Not only does his cultivation realm rise rapidly, but his martial techniques also improves unimaginably fast!"
"However, no matter how sick those two people are, they aren't as sick as Ye Yuan. That fellow simply isn't human! If any other Ninth Level Essence Qi Realm were swapped into this battle, the outcome would be being one-shotted instantly. Not only can Ye Yuan protect himself, but he can also even cause trouble for Su Yishan every now and then."
"Don't talk about him anymore. That fellow is destined to be in a different world from us. I reckon that before long, he would become the core disciple of the Tranquil Cloud Sect, right? Even Senior Apprentice Brother long doesn't have the qualifications!"
A matchup between the top twenty of the Martial Roll was not so easy to see. Many Heaven rank students were commenting on it, but the final stop was still on Ye Yuan.
Ye Yuan's might had completely exceeded their expectations. Many students substituted themselves into the battle. But to their dismay, they just could not perform as well as Ye Yuan.
That was to say, Ye Yuan was already much stronger than the majority of them!
There were around four to five hundred Heaven rank students in the Dan Wu Academy. And only the top 100 could enter the Martial Roll, becoming a Martial Roll's expert!
These 100 people were all elites among elites!
Most of them had exhausted their potential like Lin Tiancheng, becoming mediocre people among the Heaven rank students.
It was apparent that Ye Yuan was way stronger than them.
Even the students at the back of the Martial Roll ranking felt ashamed of their inferiority in front of Ye Yuan.
Just as everyone was immersed in their emotions, there was a sudden development to the battle situation!
Who knew when an azure tasseled sword appeared in Ye Yuan's hand? His entire aura underwent a massive change!
At this moment, Ye Yuan's entire person was just like an unsheathed sword; abnormally sharp!
Su Yishan and Wu Luochen were in the midst of a fierce battle. When they felt that aura, they were greatly startled.
But Ye Yuan did not give him much time to react. A streak of sword qi slashed towards his head!
The timing of this sword was beautifully grasped. Su Yishan and Wu Luochen were right in the process of attacking. Their current state could not easily be changed or even halted.
He was being tied down by Wu Luochen, so how could it be easy for him to free himself?
This sword made Su Yishan's heart palpitate. That horrifying sword intent could unequivocally tear through his protective essence energy, and directly slice off his head!
In the moment of peril, how could Su Yishan be bothered to deal with Wu Luochen? He forcefully withdrew his move halfway, and dived straight down!
That streak of sword qi just brushed the top of his head as it shot by.
One had to say that Su Yishan's reaction was quick. The dive of his not only evaded Ye Yuan's lethal sword, but it also dodged Wu Luochen's move!
Even so, Su Yishan still cut an utterly sorry figure.
While he evaded Ye Yuan's lethal sword, that streak of sword qi still shattered his headpiece. Currently, Su Yishan was disheveled like a beggar. Where was there any grace of an expert?
"Spirit artifact! That was definitely a spirit artifact!"
Many students recognized the sword in Ye Yuan's hand and exclaimed in surprise.
"My god. Why does Ye Yuan have a spirit artifact?"
"In the entire Dan Wu Academy, apart from the Illusionary Spirit Tower, only the dean has a spirit artifact as well! Where did Ye Yuan's spirit artifact come from?"
The moment Ye Yuan's Canghua Sword was drawn, it immediately caused an uproar!
In a mortal country, the scarcity of spirit artifacts already reached a degree which made people despair!
The number of spirit artifacts in the entire State of Qin would not exceed one hand.
But Ye Yuan actually had a spirit artifact in his hand!
After the astonishment, virtually all the students had covetous eyes.
This truly made people admire, envious, and hate!
One had to know that if a martial artist possessed a spirit artifact, it could increase their combat power multiple times. Especially an attack type spirit artifact like Canghua Sword!
And the power of a spirit artifact that could be unleashed by Ye Yuan was not even ten percent!
Only Crystal Formation Realm martial artists could unleash a spirit artifact's true power.
If a Crystal Formation Realm martial artist possessed a spirit artifact, they could absolutely dominate those in the same realm!
But now, a spirit artifact was actually held in a Ninth Level Essence Qi Realm's hands. What a reckless waste of God's good gift!
Ye Yuan ignored the other people's amazement, and just asked casually. "Now, can I bring her away?"
Hearing Ye Yuan's words, a cold shiver ran down Liu Ruoshui's spine. She did not think that Ye Yuan could defeat even Su Yishan!
Su Yishan was number ten on the Martial Roll!
Even Su Yishan could not shelter her. Then wasn't she dead for sure?
"Argh! Ye Yuan, you forced my hand!" Su Yishan was already completely incensed. He wanted to kill Ye Yuan at any cost!
The next instant, a horrifying aura surged from Su Yishan's body.
He lightly lifted both hands with the palms facing the sky. Dirt-yellow color essence energy condensed in the center of his palms. That horrifying pressure suffocated people!
"This . . . this aura is . . . the high-grade Tier 2 martial technique, Heaven Flipping Palm! You have to be careful, Ye Yuan!" Wu Luochen solemnly warned him.
Ye Yuan's face was similarly serious. He did not expect that Su Yishan still had such a trump card.
Just this horrifying aura already far surpassed the power of Third Level Spirit Condensation Realm! The might of a high-grade Tier 2 martial technique was extraordinary!
Ye Yuan stood with his sword horizontally with a never before seen solemnness on his face.
"Ye Yuan! I want you to know that provoking me, Su Yishan, comes with a price! Go and die!"
Right now, Su Yishan had already completely lost his reason. There was only one thing on his mind, which was to kill Ye Yuan!
He brought both palms together, and the dirt-yellow glow rippled out.
Next, would be a terrifying attack!
"Yishan, leave it at this . . ." Right then, a faint voice sounded out in Su Yishan's ear.
Chapter 114. What Has It Got to Do with you?! |
"Yishan, leave it at this . . ."
Right after this voice sounded out, Su Yishan was abruptly awakened. His aura also withdrew after that, vanishing imperceptibly.
Seeing that Su Yishan's Heaven Flipping Palm was stopped, not only did Ye Yuan not relax, his face turned even graver.
Those Heaven Rank students automatically opened up a path, and Su Yubai walked out from the crowd.
Everyone was stupefied. The one who stopped Su Yishan was actually Su Yubai?
What happened? Didn't Su Yubai hope for Ye Yuan to die most of all? Why did his character suddenly change?
Su Yishan slowly walked to the front of Ye Yuan and the other two. Su Yishan and Wu Luochen respectfully bowed, and called out "Elder Su." Only Ye Yuan remained indifferent.
"Humph! Don't even know how to greet when you see me. Indeed without upbringing!" Seeing Ye Yuan's behavior, Su Yubai's temper flared right away.
Ye Yuan simply replied nonchalantly, "I've cleared the Nine Heavens Road, and already have status equivalent to the Tranquil Cloud Sect's core disciples. The Tranquil Cloud Sect's core disciple's status is even higher than outer sect elders. The one who should be greeting . . . should be Elder Su, right?"
The Tranquil Cloud Sect's core disciples had an extraordinary status. They were all one in a million geniuses and were also the target of the Tranquil Cloud Sect's heavy nurturing. They possessed many privileges.
On the other hand, outer sect elders were at most just supervisors assisting the dean to manage the academy. They did not even count as sect disciples. So their status was naturally not as high as core disciples.
Hearing that, Su Yubai's face changed. He immediately gave a cold snort and said, "The high sect had not yet confirmed your status, so you are still the State of Qin's Dan Wu Academy's disciple. Don't give me the attitude of some core disciple!"
Ye Yuan curled his lips and said, "It's Elder Su who is putting on the airs on an elder with me. So I just have to make clear of my current status."
Su Yubai sorrowfully discovered that he could never gain any advantage over Ye Yuan, so he could only change the topic. "Where did the spirit artifact in your hand come from? Such a precious artifact and you actually did not report to the academy. What are your intentions?"
Su Yubai also did not expect that Ye Yuan actually have a spirit artifact in his hands!
This truly made him incredibly envious!
Su Yubai's own lifeblood weapon was a high-grade magic artifact. Initially, it was also suitable for him.
But Su Yubai was already a half-step Crystal Formation Realm. If he used a spirit artifact, it would definitely let his strength rise to another level.
Originally, he did not think much about spirit artifacts, because spirit artifacts were too scarce.
But now, a spirit artifact actually appeared in Ye Yuan's hands. How could he remain unperturbed?
For a puny little Ninth Level Essence Qi Realm to use a spirit artifact, wasn't that wasting God's gift?
How could Ye Yuan not know Su Yubai's little thoughts? Hearing that, he only said coolly, "You know that I swore a Heaven Dao Oath before challenging the Nine Heavens Road. So it's inconvenient for me to report about the origins of this sword. If Elder Su is uneasy, then you can inquire from the high sect. This sword should have once had illustrious fame. I believe it wouldn't be hard to enquire."
