Chapter 568: See You on the Next Floor

The seventy percent strength Kuai Liang mentioned naturally did not refer to his cultivation realm, but rather his artistic conception strength at the same realm.

In other words, Kuai Liang had originally comprehended one hundred percent of his artistic conception, but on the fourth floor, he only used thirty percent of it.

Even thirty percent was stronger than most martial artists who came to challenge the tower.

With seventy percent strength, even if it was only at the first level of the Soul Sea, it was not something a martial artist like Liu Hong could contend with, let alone the addition of several martial artists of the same realm and the formation.

For Liu Hong and Qin Yan to break through the fifth floor was extremely difficult.

"Senior, no need to be polite. Just come at me!"

Ye Yuan's aura was fully unleashed, with faint red light swirling around him but not dispersing—a clear sign of his Blazing True Intent manifesting externally.

Seeing this, Kuai Liang's expression turned serious and he said, "Converting Yuan Power into Blazing True Intent and keeping it condensed without dispersing—it seems your control over Yuan Power has reached an extremely profound level! Even my original body cannot achieve what you have! Young man, you have brought us too many surprises!"

Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Just showing off my meager skills. Senior's strength should far surpass mine. If not for the rules, killing me would probably be as easy as snapping your fingers."

Kuai Liang waved his hand and said, "That's different. I am stronger than you only in terms of realm. Your comprehension of artistic conception and control over Yuan Power are far superior to mine! I can hardly believe you are only seventeen!"

"Hehe, Senior flatters me. Ye Yuan will make his move now!"

"Come on!"

Ye Yuan's fist momentum erupted violently, and he entered a berserk state, striking with every blow landing solidly, suppressing the formation formed by these spirit illusions.

These spirit illusions were all at the first level of the Soul Sea, yet Ye Yuan, at the fourth level of the Sea of Qi, was suppressing so many of them!

Seeing this, the three people on the side were stunned.

They never expected that in just about ten days, Ye Yuan had become so powerful!

"I thought I had made considerable gains in the Haotian Tower and would narrow the gap with Ye Yuan. But unexpectedly... the gap has only widened!" Qin Yan said bitterly.

"He... his set of fist techniques seems to be Blazing True Intent! My god, Ye Yuan has fully comprehended such a high-level true intent!" Guo Taoqun's jaw nearly dropped.

Yin Yanhua's expression was grave as she nodded and said, "It is indeed Blazing True Intent! Even from this distance, the Yuan Power in my body feels uncomfortable! Ye Yuan's current strength is truly terrifying! The three of us probably couldn't last a single move against him!"

"No wonder that mysterious person said Ye Yuan is different from us. It seems his gains in the previous floors are far greater than we imagined!" Qin Yan said.

"Ridiculous that I thought Ye Yuan had stumbled earlier. Now I realize he has long been on a different level from us!" Guo Taoqun said helplessly.

"Indeed. Not to mention anything else, just his current combat strength is enough to crush a third-level Soul Sea martial artist! Crossing realms to fight to this extent is quite a rarity." Qin Yan said resignedly.

...

Within the formation, Ye Yuan moved as if through an empty land. Wherever his fist struck, the spirit illusions scattered.

However, it was clear that this group cooperated very well and had rich combat experience.

Under Kuai Liang's guidance, they never engaged Ye Yuan head-on.

With their current strength, they could not suppress Ye Yuan. They could only patiently wear him down and wait for an opportunity.

Ye Yuan's main target was Kuai Liang, who was the core of the formation, orchestrating the cooperation and acting as a thread, very crucial.

But Kuai Liang was clever; he always hid within the formation and avoided direct contact with Ye Yuan.

Ye Yuan's fists were always blocked by the combined force of the formation.

This formation was indeed formidable. A group of first-level Soul Sea martial artists combined had nearly the strength of a peak third-level Soul Sea.

Yet even so, they were still suppressed by Ye Yuan.

Ye Yuan suddenly grinned and said, "Senior, do you think you can hide for a while, but can you hide forever?"

Kuai Liang, hidden in the formation, said loudly, "If you have the ability, come and drag me out!"

"Haha, senior, watch closely!"

With that, Ye Yuan suddenly moved, but not toward Kuai Liang.

"Boom!"

Another phantom was sent flying, but its position was immediately filled. The phantom was unharmed and soon returned to the formation—such was the power of the array.

"Heh, young man, it's useless!" Kuai Liang laughed at the sight.

"Is that so?" Ye Yuan smiled faintly, then moved toward another opponent.

"Boom!"

That one was also blasted away.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

For a time, phantoms were sent flying one after another.

At first, Kuai Liang paid no mind, but soon he sensed something wrong—the entire formation seemed sluggish, no longer running as smoothly as before.

But by the time he realized it, it was too late!

How could Ye Yuan give him a chance?

Kuai Liang's vision blurred; Ye Yuan had somehow appeared before him.

"Heh, senior, apologies—see you on the next floor!"

"Boom!"

Ye Yuan showed no mercy, channeling all his primal power into his fist and blasting Kuai Liang into pieces.

In terms of individual combat strength, none of these phantoms were a match for Ye Yuan. Once he found a flaw, killing them was no challenge.

The core of this formation lay with Kuai Liang, but so did its weakest point!

Though Ye Yuan had never seen this formation before, his mastery of array dao was extremely high.

His earlier attacks were not random flailing but attempts to probe the formation's weaknesses.

Poor Kuai Liang had no idea that Ye Yuan was not only a formidable fighter but also a grandmaster of array dao at the ninth level!

Profound as the formation was, once Ye Yuan set his mind to finding its flaws, how could Kuai Liang conceal them?

Kuai Liang had merely practiced the formation to perfection; he did not understand its principles.

Unless they could quickly defeat Ye Yuan, the only outcome was that he would break the formation and pick them off one by one.

With Kuai Liang dead, the entire formation became fragile.

Ye Yuan followed the same method, killing the phantoms one by one, and soon passed the fifth floor flawlessly!

Qin Yan and the other two were already stunned!

What was happening?

When they cleared floors, they would break through the formation's constraints at all costs and rush to the next floor's entrance.

But Ye Yuan?

He not only broke the formation but also killed every single phantom!

And these phantoms—each one's individual strength was no less than theirs!
