Chapter 1499: Superb Mastery, Drawing Inferences by Analogy!

"Haha, with such little strength you dare challenge Lord Cassin? You're tired of living!"

"Ignorant fool, now you know the strength of the Blood War King?"

"Hey, are you dead or not? If not, get up and let Lord Cassin toy with you some more!"

……

From the stands, a burst of fervent cheers erupted.

No one felt sympathy for Ye Yuan.

On the Blood Battle Stage, only the victor receives applause and reverence.

The loser earns no one's pity!

In their eyes, Ye Yuan challenging Lord Cassin was utterly overestimating himself.

Blood Eagle breathed a sigh of relief; his palms had been sweating with tension, thinking Ye Yuan was done for.

Unexpectedly, Ye Yuan had pulled through.

"Heh, that kid has remarkable insight! A moment later, and he would have lost," said Blood Eagle.

Youming said, "Bearing injury to break the fist momentum, the kid has considerable courage. But his speed, his main asset, is completely restricted. I really see no chance of victory!"

By now, Youming was fully convinced that the powder did not affect Cassin's strength. So what was its purpose?

Had Ye Yuan gone to all that trouble for nothing?

"Don't you have an even faster move? Why not use it? Heh, let me see just how fast you really are," Cassin said with a mocking expression.

Ye Yuan secretly activated the Tyrant Dragon Regeneration Art to heal his injuries, a cold glint flashing in his eyes. "As you wish!"

Suddenly, Ye Yuan's figure vanished.

Those in the stands below the Demon Commander realm couldn't see Ye Yuan's shadow at all.

It was as if Ye Yuan had disappeared into thin air!

"Where is he? How did he disappear?"

"Could he be so fast that we can't see him? This... is too fast!"

"A high-rank Demon Commander can be this fast? No wonder he dared to challenge Lord Cassin; he really has some skills!"

"Heh, it's useless! The Blood War King is invincible! This kid is doomed!"

……

Seeing this, Cassin's expression tightened!

Faster!

Compared to his fight with Xing Yao and the others, Ye Yuan's Phantom Kill had become much faster!

Last time, he could still make out Ye Yuan's form, but now, even with his eyesight, he only saw a blurry shadow.

How could he have improved so much in just one year?

Not only had he broken through a minor realm, but his law power had also advanced!

The Blood Battle Stage's stands actually had three levels.

However, the third level was never open to the public.

It was a hidden room, completely invisible from the outside.

In this room, a man and a woman were gazing down at the main arena below.

The woman was very beautiful; even just standing there, she exuded a sense of allure.

If Ye Yuan were here, he would recognize her as Yi Han, who had received him at the Hundred Halls that day!

Seeing Ye Yuan use Phantom Kill, Yi Han's eyes showed a hint of surprise. She said to the man beside her, "What terrifying talent! He actually drew inferences by analogy, comprehending the Law of Space through the Law of the Sword!"

The man also showed astonishment. "No wonder you chose him. This kid's talent is indeed astonishing! Drawing inferences by analogy requires reaching the superb mastery level in the application of the Law of the Sword. His law power isn't strong; what's strong is his application!"

Most people training in law power only focus on its intensity, rarely on the art of application.

No matter how strong the law power, if one doesn't understand the art of application, it's like a child wielding a big blade—unable to unleash its true power.

The art of application also has its own levels: Initial Insight, Thorough Integration, Unity of Mind and Will, and the most ethereal Superb Mastery!

The reason Ye Yuan could always overcome the strong with the weak lay in his level of application.

For most martial artists, they blindly pursue the realm of law while neglecting the art of application, thus remaining at Initial Insight.

A minority with more combat experience can reach the Thorough Integration level.

An extremely small number, through countless battles, can attain Unity of Mind and Will.

As for the Superb Mastery level, those who achieve it are as rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns.

This depends partly on talent and partly on combat experience.

Of course, very few spend effort cultivating the art of application, as it requires a great deal of time and may not be worth the cost.

Once the golden period of training is missed, breaking through realms becomes very difficult.

When Ye Yuan was in the Sword Grave, he endured immense torment to comprehend the Law of the Sword—not because he was a masochist, but because he was experiencing the essence of each sword and understanding the art of application!

Thus, he could resonate with all swords!

Ye Yuan's progress in the Law of the Sword was slow, not because he lacked comprehension, but because he spent a great deal of time on the art of application.

After leaving the Sword Grave, Ye Yuan now had the Death Training Space.

There, he could more clearly perceive the shortcomings in his swordsmanship.

He had broken out of the Death Training Space time and again without fail, not by luck.

After breaking through to the late Insight Heaven realm, Ye Yuan entered the Death Training Space several more times and finally cultivated the art of application to the Superb Mastery level.

This time, while pushing Phantom Kill to its limit in the Death Training Space, a sudden inspiration struck, and he comprehended a sliver of the Law of Space!

When this sliver of Space Law merged into his movement technique, Phantom Kill became even more ethereal.

Even someone of Cassin's strength found it hard to track his figure.

Cassin's expression changed; he realized he couldn't keep up with Ye Yuan's speed!

He had only taunted Ye Yuan to use Phantom Kill, never expecting to see an evolved version!

"Brahma Heaven True Demon Dharma Form! Protect me!"

Cassin roared, demonic aura surging, and a True Demon Dharma Form coalesced behind him.

The Dharma Form crouched down, shielding Cassin completely within.

Then, the entire space exploded!

"Boom, boom, boom..."

The crowd couldn't see Ye Yuan's figure; they only saw the Dharma Form being struck countless times in an extremely short period.

"Bang!"

With a loud crash, the Dharma Form shattered, and Cassin's body flew backward.

At that moment, Ye Yuan's figure reappeared, looking rather battered.

Although his realm had broken through, Phantom Kill's power had increased, but so had its consumption of divine essence.

Only he could sustain Phantom Kill at this realm; anyone else would fail.

The stands fell silent.

They were all shocked by this scene!

Their Blood War King had been knocked flying?

And by a mere high-rank Demon Commander!

In Karpun Royal City, no one had ever thought it possible to defeat Cassin across realms.

But Ye Yuan had done it!
