Chapter 1030: Unexpected Gains

"Alright! I also want to see how you wield the wind attribute!"

Ye Liuyun didn't object. Even if the opponent excels in wind attribute, he wasn't worried. Even if he couldn't win, he could still learn something.

He has always thought that for a Martial Cultivator, victory and defeat are never the most important; strengthening one's power is the key.

Liang Yufeng was momentarily stunned. He had never revealed the wind attribute in his True Essence; how did Ye Liuyun discern it?

"It seems Brother Ye's strength is far above mine!" he thought to himself.

"I'll show my clumsy side!" Then he greeted Ye Liuyun and began to activate his True Essence.

His figure started to sway ever so slightly, as if weightless, like a falling leaf drifting in the wind.

Soon after, his entire form became ethereal, merging into the wind.

"Huh? There's also a technique that merges into the wind?"

Ye Liuyun's Golden Pupil saw it very clearly.

At the same time, his clone in the Space World discussed this technique with Qingfeng Lang.

"Actually, this is a fusion of attributes! Just as you wouldn't be burned even amid flames."

Qingfeng Lang explained to the clone and demonstrated it on the spot.

Qingfeng Lang himself is wind attribute, and his realm has already reached the Respect stage. Though he hasn't specifically cultivated the technique, his demonstration bore some resemblance.

"Then how do we counter it?" the clone asked.

"Feel the flow of the air!" Qingfeng Lang prompted.

Meanwhile, Ye Liuyun immediately employed the Primordial Spirit Secret Technique to sense the air's flow.

His Primordial Spirit Secret Technique can perceive the flow of spiritual energy. He had never used it to sense the flow of air before.

Ye Liuyun thought that, according to Qingfeng Lang, feeling the air's flow should be similar to sensing Heaven and Earth Power.

But before he could sense anything, Liang Yufeng's figure had already closed in on Ye Liuyun and launched an attack.

Bang!

Ye Liuyun indeed didn't dodge; he braced the blow with his Physical Body, being blasted sideways a couple of steps.

"Again!"

Ye Liuyun steadied his breath, employed the Primordial Spirit Secret Technique again, and sensed Heaven and Earth Power.

This time, just as he sensed an energy flow heading toward him, before he could react, "Bang!" he was struck again.

"Progress!" Ye Liuyun felt a surge of joy and let Liang Yufeng continue.

Liang Yufeng's first attack wasn't at full strength, fearing he might injure Ye Liuyun.

Seeing that he showed little reaction to the strike, he dared to increase his force.

That previous blow had already employed ninety percent of his power; seeing Ye Liuyun still unscathed sparked his interest, wanting to see if Ye Liuyun could withstand his full-force strike.

Thus, his silhouette swayed with the wind again, vanishing before Ye Liuyun.

Ye Liuyun immediately closed his eyes, focusing on the surrounding air's flow.

The Primordial Spirit Secret Technique enveloped the arena's surrounding air. Within Ye Liuyun's Sea of Consciousness, a spiritual energy space formed.

This time, Ye Liuyun clearly sensed Liang Yufeng drifting in the air with the wind, continually approaching him.

However, what he perceived of Liang Yufeng was a humanoid formed of energy, not the shape visible to the naked eye.

Ye Liuyun felt that his surroundings were now also enveloped by various energy substances.

"Huh? I thought I sensed the flow of wind, but it's various energy substances!"

Ye Liuyun hadn't expected that his intention to feel the wind or Heaven and Earth Power's flow would instead reveal the presence of assorted energies.

Nevertheless, the result was the same.

Liang Yufeng struck again, and Ye Liuyun sensed a relatively bright energy emanating from his core pill location, flowing through his body to his arm, then launching toward himself.

He immediately sidestepped, easily evading that energy.

Boom!

Liang Yufeng's punch struck empty air, landing on the far side of the arena behind Ye Liuyun.

"Did you dodge?" Liang Yufeng exclaimed in surprise.

"Dodged!" the spectators shouted in amazement.

Liang Yufeng's movement was truly marvelous; ordinary Martial Cultivators at the Zao Hua Realm couldn't even sense his position.

Even Martial Cultivators in the early Respect stage could only feel the energy ripple at the moment he acted. To evade, one must also possess excellent movement.

Thus, when Ye Liuyun dodged Liang Yufeng's punch, many assumed it was due to his luck, or credited his quick reaction and superb movement.

Liang Yufeng also thought Ye Liuyun couldn't have detected him, so he prepared to launch another attack.

However, at this moment Ye Liuyun wielded the Primordial Spirit Secret Technique, condensing spiritual energy into a spirit arrow, its tip only ten inches from Liang Yufeng.

Liang Yufeng tried to evade using the wind's flow, yet the spirit arrow shadowed him, always remaining ten inches ahead of him.

Liang Yufeng was aghast: "How is this possible? How could he locate my position!"

He unleashed all his techniques, darting everywhere, yet he could not escape the spirit arrow.

The audience was equally baffled. They couldn't see Liang Yufeng, only a spirit arrow soaring in midair, pointing somewhere and continuously moving.

"Could it have found someone?"

Some people were still asking nearby experts.

Immediately afterward, the number of spirit arrows surged, becoming ten, then a hundred, then a thousand, encircling Liang Yufeng so tightly that he was forced to stand still.

What the spectators saw was a cluster of spirit arrows forming a barrier around a space.

"Could it really have found it?"

Everyone stared wide-eyed at that space.

At that moment Liang Yufeng realized his movement had been completely nullified by Ye Liuyun; helpless, he had to reveal his form.

When the audience saw Liang Yufeng appear, they immediately burst into applause.

Ye Liuyun also gathered his spirit‑qi arrows at this moment and smiled as he looked at Liang Yufeng.

"Brother Ye, how could you break my Wind Control Spell?" Liang Yufeng asked, puzzled.

Ye Liuyun shook his head.

Liang Yufeng, seeing this, became even more puzzled. "It's obvious I've been found, so why is he shaking his head?" Liang Yufeng showed a puzzled expression.

Ye Liuyun laughed and explained: "I can't break it. I merely happened to use another method by chance, and that's how I managed to find you!"

Even he himself hadn't expected that studying a movement technique would yield such a result.

Ye Liuyun immediately decided that, after returning, he would continue to practice and consolidate this method of sensing energy.

Meanwhile, his clone had already begun training, sensing the fluctuations of that energy, and he even had the Azure Wind Wolf cooperate with his perception.

"I see!" Liang Yufeng didn't press further, after all, everyone's cultivation method cannot be casually revealed.

In his heart, he couldn't help but hold Ye Liuyun in higher regard.

Ye Liuyun's blade intent was already incredibly strong, and on top of being able to break his movement technique, in terms of strength his defeat was completely justified.
