Chapter 554: Instant Martial Skill!

Ye Yuan's greatest reliance in fighting a war of attrition here was his pills.

But Ye Yuan never imagined that the Haotian Tower could weather away the pills he refined.

This was something unheard of!

Without pills to replenish his primal force, Ye Yuan's primal force would soon be exhausted.

This was the first time he had encountered something so bizarre, and for a moment he didn't know what to do.

Could it be that he would really be killed by these second-rank demonic beasts because his primal force ran out?

If he were teleported out like this, wouldn't he become a laughingstock throughout the Boundless Realm?

Although Ye Yuan didn't care about others' opinions, he couldn't accept such a failure himself.

"Damn it, I'll go all out!"

Ye Yuan gritted his teeth and burst forth all his remaining primal force!

In an instant, countless flying flowers surrounded Ye Yuan.

At the same time, Ye Yuan pushed the "Lingzhe Nine Yang Divine Art" to its limit, refining the nameless energy he had absorbed into his body.

The process of a martial artist's cultivation is essentially the process of opening up the dantian.

When not using martial skills, the primal force in the body circulates in a cycle, achieving a delicate balance with the external primal force of heaven and earth.

But once a martial skill is used, the consumption of primal force in the martial artist's body increases sharply, and the speed of converting external primal force into internal primal force cannot keep up with the rate of consumption.

The more powerful the martial skill, the greater the consumption of primal force, and the slower the replenishment.

Although Ye Yuan had extremely strong control over primal force, a martial skill like Thousand Flowing Flowers consumed it very quickly.

It was only Ye Yuan who could sustain this martial skill for two days straight.

Now, Ye Yuan's absorption speed could no longer keep up with the consumption speed. Only by refining this nameless energy into primal force could he solve the urgent problem.

After two days of absorption, Ye Yuan had accumulated a considerable amount of nameless energy in his body.

But compared to Ye Yuan's current consumption, the primal force converted from the nameless energy was just a drop in the bucket.

Now, Ye Yuan had no other choice but to treat a dead horse as a live one, holding on as long as he could. It was better than being drained to death, right?

Could it be that he would be kicked out by the Haotian Tower and then have to explain to others: he tried to show off by killing all the demonic beasts on the first floor, only to have his primal force exhausted and be killed by them?

Under Ye Yuan's frantic refining, the nameless energy was finally converted bit by bit into primal force, flowing into the primal force sea.

As soon as this primal force entered the primal force sea, it merged with the trace of primal force Ye Yuan had refined earlier, together amounting to no more than the size of a bowl.

Seeing this, Ye Yuan couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Such a small amount of primal force wasn't enough to sustain him for even a moment!

Ye Yuan hadn't expected that after killing for two days and two nights, he had only accumulated this little nameless energy.

This stuff was too precious, wasn't it?

Before long, the Thousand Flowing Flowers Ye Yuan had used earlier finally exhausted.

Those demonic beasts charged forward fearlessly again. Ye Yuan had no choice but to activate his technique, mobilizing the primal force converted from the remaining nameless energy in his primal force sea.

However, an embarrassing thing happened again. When Ye Yuan activated his technique, he could only mobilize a single drop of nameless primal force!

"Damn, no way? This is too ridiculous. What can one drop of primal force do?" Ye Yuan nearly collapsed.

He had worked so hard to kill until now, all to collect this nameless primal force.

In the end, he could only mobilize a single drop of primal force. This was utterly ironic.

If he were eliminated like this, Ye Yuan would really have to find a place to go into seclusion for twenty years, too ashamed to come out again.

But the next moment, Ye Yuan's pupils contracted sharply.

That drop of primal force entered the meridians and suddenly disappeared!

Before Ye Yuan could react, a Thousand Flowing Flowers even more terrifying than before appeared without any warning.

"Chi chi chi..."

Thousand Flowing Flowers burst forth violently, sweeping away the surrounding demonic beasts in an instant!

"This... what's going on?"

This time, Ye Yuan was completely dumbfounded.

Since entering the Haotian Tower, too many things beyond his expectations had happened, almost overwhelming him.

And what was happening before him was also beyond his understanding.

One drop of primal force could unleash such a terrifying attack?

Moreover, this time he had activated Thousand Flowing Flowers almost instantly!

Could this primal force allow instant activation of martial skills?

And this time, Thousand Flowing Flowers was far more powerful and extensive than what he had used before.

Although it was somewhat incomprehensible, there was no doubt—Ye Yuan had struck gold!

One must know that when a martial artist uses a martial skill, no matter how skilled, they cannot achieve instant activation.

Primal force emerges from the primal force sea, circulates through the meridians according to the martial skill's method, resonates with the primal force of heaven and earth, and then is released. This process always involves a series of changes.

And these changes naturally take time to complete.

The more powerful the martial skill, the more time it requires.

Clearly, when the power of a martial skill is the same, the shorter the casting time, the more advantageous!

And this primal force not only allowed instant activation of martial skills but also seemed to enhance and strengthen them. It was simply too overpowered.

"Heh, it seems all this time spent wasn't wasted after all." Ye Yuan smiled.

With that, he activated the nameless primal force again, and Thousand Flowing Flowers burst forth once more, slaughtering a horde of demonic beasts!

...

"Ye Yuan is indeed formidable, able to hold out for three days! Although he can't pass the first floor, it's enough to be proud of."

"There's still one hour until it's exactly three days. Even if he's still intact, he'll be automatically kicked out by the Haotian Tower."

"It seems he knows he can't pass, so he found a place to rest and quietly wait for the three days to end."

"What a pity. Such a genius couldn't even pass the first floor."

In the Haotian Secret Realm, everyone was discussing.

Some genuinely felt sorry for Ye Yuan, while others were gloating.

But regardless, they all believed Ye Yuan couldn't pass the first floor.

Whatever reason Ye Yuan had for staying on the first floor, three days was enough time for him to deal with it.

Among those martial artists on the second floor, a few were also at the Sea Transformation realm. If even they could pass the first floor, but Ye Yuan couldn't, it only meant Ye Yuan's strength was insufficient.

Ren Xingchun's face was as black as a pot bottom. He never imagined that this trip to the Haotian Tower would start with high hopes and end in disappointment, forcing them to return so soon.

And Ye Yuan, on whom he had placed great hopes, couldn't even pass the first floor.

"It's almost three days. Ye Yuan has no hope left."

"Yes, what a shame! Huh? Look, Ye Yuan's name has disappeared. The three days are up!"

"Ye Yuan has probably been teleported out. Let's go find him."

"Wait, look, Ye Yuan's name appears on the second floor! He... he actually passed at the last moment!"
