Chapter 147: Beginning the Breakthrough!

"Boom!"

Ye Yuan's Eightfold Wave was easily neutralized by Su Yishan.

"Chi!"

Ye Yuan followed up with another Absolute Yang Finger, its formless vital energy exceptionally sharp, hurtling toward Su Yishan, yet it too was neutralized.

However, Ye Yuan did not feel disheartened; instead, the more he fought, the more exhilarated he became.

He didn't need to consider defense at all, using every technique he knew over and over again.

Although it posed little threat to Su Yishan, the latter was still quite flustered.

Ye Yuan's attacks were not something an ordinary Ninth Layer Qi Yuan could unleash; even without using his strongest trump card, the Nine Sword Style, his attacks could inflict substantial damage on a Second Layer Liquid Essence martial artist.

If Su Yishan hadn't broken through to the Fourth Layer Liquid Essence, these techniques alone would have worn him down.

Moreover, Ye Yuan was launching a relentless offensive, while Su Yishan could only passively endure. With this shift in momentum, Ye Yuan's attacks became even more fierce.

Ye Yuan's desperate assault had already lasted two days.

For two days, aside from eating, sleeping, and meditating, Ye Yuan spent all his time sparring with Su Yishan.

Having such a free human punching bag made the fighting truly exhilarating.

The more Ye Yuan fought, the more excited he became, the more he fought, the less he felt fatigue; sometimes, when excited, he could fight for several hours straight.

In contrast, Su Yishan was on the verge of collapse from Ye Yuan's torment.

He really couldn't understand how Ye Yuan, only at the Ninth Layer Qi Yuan, could have such strong endurance.

With such powerful attacks, logically, his Yuan power consumption should be very high, yet Ye Yuan could fight for several hours without even needing to take a Qi Restoration Pill!

Even if he himself launched such a fierce attack, he probably couldn't hold out for an hour!

But were the Fourth Layer Liquid Essence and the Ninth Layer Qi Yuan on the same level?

Su Yishan had thought of ambushing Ye Yuan, but Yuan Fei's aura had been faintly locking onto him, preventing him from daring to act rashly.

Su Yishan believed that if he retaliated even once, what awaited him would be a thunderous strike!

He had already witnessed the terror of this ape king; he was no match for it in a single exchange.

These two days, Yuan Fei had also been watching Ye Yuan's relentless bombardment, sometimes with blazing eyes, lost in thought.

As for Nanfeng Zhirou, she had become idle these two days, but she also had an unresolved knot in her heart, weighing on her mind.

Ye Yuan had heard the surname "Nanfeng" and probably guessed her identity.

"Nanfeng," as the imperial surname, was known to everyone in the Qin Kingdom.

Nanfeng Zhirou and her aunt had become very close friends with Ye Yuan, but they had always concealed their identities, which was hardly justifiable.

For the past two days, Ye Yuan had been fully focused on consolidating his realm and had no time to bother with this. Once he broke through, would he pursue the matter? Would he distance himself from her?

Nanfeng Zhirou began to feel anxious and uncertain.

...

Another day passed, and Ye Yuan continued his relentless assault on Su Yishan as usual.

Suddenly, Ye Yuan stopped attacking and sat down cross-legged.

Yuan Fei narrowed his eyes slightly, as if guessing something, and in a flash, appeared between Ye Yuan and Su Yishan, separating them.

Su Yishan also seemed to guess what was happening, knowing that Yuan Fei would not give him a chance to approach Ye Yuan, so he wisely stepped aside and began meditating on his own.

Ye Yuan was about to break through, and Su Yishan also needed to rest.

Although he didn't think Ye Yuan could directly break through to the Liquid Essence realm, he still wanted to be fully prepared.

What a joke! Directly breaking through to the Liquid Essence realm from the Ninth Layer Qi Yuan—even his father wouldn't have dared to do that back then!

Not only his father Su Yulin, but also Dean, Wan Donghai, Nanfeng Yi, and other veteran Crystal Coagulation realm experts—which of them wasn't exceptionally talented in their time?

Yet none of them dared to directly break through to the Liquid Essence realm from the Ninth Layer Qi Yuan!

What a joke?

Using Half-Step Liquid Essence as a transition was a method explored by countless predecessors to冲击 the Liquid Essence realm. Was Ye Yuan trying to challenge all those predecessors on his own?

Even someone with Su Yishan's talent had prepared for a full six months.

When Nanfeng Zhirou broke through to the Liquid Essence realm, her preparation time was shorter than Su Yishan's, but still four to five months.

Yet Ye Yuan didn't prepare at all; he only spent a few days consolidating his realm and then directly began the breakthrough.

If he succeeded, what would that make them, the so-called geniuses?

Seeing Ye Yuan prepare to break through, Nanfeng Zhirou's heart immediately tensed up.

Although Ye Yuan spoke with great confidence, such a challenge to the limits of martial artists' knowledge still made Nanfeng Zhirou uneasy.

A major realm was not something one could break through just by wanting to. Facing a breakthrough to the Liquid Essence realm, no one dared to be the slightest bit careless.

Because once the冲击 failed, one would suffer varying degrees of damage, and there was even the risk of realm regression!

Although one could cultivate back, the next time one冲击 the bottleneck, it would be even harder!

This was why all martial artists were extremely cautious when breaking through to the Liquid Essence realm.

"Ye Yuan, you must succeed!" Nanfeng Zhirou silently urged.

She knew that if Ye Yuan couldn't break through, Lü'er would surely die.

If Lü'er died, the blow to Ye Yuan would be enormous!

That was something Nanfeng Zhirou didn't want to see.

Ye Yuan sat cross-legged for half an hour, and his aura gradually stabilized.

He suddenly opened his eyes, took a Chongling Pill from his storage ring and swallowed it, then said to Yuan Fei, "Yuan Fei, protect me. I'm going to start the breakthrough. Keep an eye on Su Yishan; don't let him escape."

"Young master, break through with peace of mind. Everything is under Yuan Fei's control," Yuan Fei replied.

Ye Yuan nodded and closed his eyes again.

Not far away, Su Yishan saw this and felt another surge of shock.

So Ye Yuan really could communicate with this beast!

No wonder he could tame this third-rank beast!

Ye Yuan really was full of countless secrets!

On this side, Ye Yuan adjusted his state, took the Chongling Pill, and officially began to冲击 the Liquid Essence realm!

Although others thought冲击 the Liquid Essence realm was extremely dangerous, for Ye Yuan, the person involved, it wasn't such a big deal.

His understanding of heaven and earth Yuan power far surpassed any so-called master in the Qin Kingdom.

Those Crystal Coagulation realm experts' understanding of heaven and earth Yuan power wasn't even fit to tie Ye Yuan's shoes.

For them, the Liquid Essence realm was a major hurdle; for Ye Yuan, the Liquid Essence realm was just a small threshold.

As the Chongling Pill entered his abdomen, it was like throwing a small pebble into a calm lake, breaking the originally balanced state of Yuan power in Ye Yuan's body.

In an instant, the Yuan power in Ye Yuan's dantian began to boil!

"Woo..."

A whirlwind stirred up beneath Ye Yuan, continuously expanding and expanding, sweeping up fallen leaves.

The Yuan power storm had begun!
