Chapter 1037: Lovers' Duel

Ye Liuyun has actually always been the example Liang Xue pursues in cultivation.

She has long wanted to spar with Ye Liuyun to see exactly how great the gap between them is.

At this moment Ye Liuyun also stepped forward voluntarily, ready to face her.

"Fine." the Steward Elder sighed, and put the two of them on the stage to duel.

Thus, the couple finally stood on the same arena.

Liang Xue transmitted a voice to Ye Liuyun: "I want to truly compare with you, to see exactly how big the gap is! You must not hold back for me!"

"Um… fine!" Ye Liuyun understood her intention and immediately agreed.

But asking him not to hold back for Liang Xue is certainly impossible!

He also cannot let Liang Xue get injured.

What worries him now is how to win without hurting Liang Xue.

"I'm starting!" Liang Xue called out, instantly unleashing Bloodline Power, intending to suppress Ye Liuyun with it.

Some Elders of the Heaven Heart Sect silently nodded.

Liang Xue's Bloodline Power is undoubtedly unbeatable among peers. Perhaps she can truly suppress Ye Liuyun with it.

However, the result left them astonished.

Ye Liuyun's bloodline, after being enhanced by the Hidden Dragon Pool, easily suppresses opponents of the same rank.

He doesn't even need to circulate his bloodline within his body to boost Bloodline Pressure.

He simply rarely reveals this power now.

When Liang Xue activates her Bloodline Power, he is forced to activate his own Bloodline Power to resist.

Moreover, he only raises his Bloodline Power as Liang Xue's Bloodline Pressure rises, keeping pace with her.

When Liang Xue reaches her peak, Ye Liuyun remains unmoved.

Seeing this, Liang Xue knows she can no longer overcome him with Bloodline Power.

She immediately begins to manipulate Qi, attacking Ye Liuyun.

Ye Liuyun likewise activates Primordial Spirit Secret Technique, absorbing the Qi Liang Xue uses to attack into his body.

He even uses the technique to drain all Qi surrounding Liang Xue, leaving her with none.

Then Ye Liuyun lifts a hand, spreads his fingers, and thousands of Qi arrows coalesce in the air.

He pinches his hand, and the myriad Qi arrows shoot toward Liang Xue.

Liang Xue tries to form a protective shield from Qi, but with her surrounding Qi drained, she resorts to True Essence to resist.

"Whoa! This kid really can lay a hand on a beauty!"

"He truly doesn't know how to cherish a delicate lady!"

The audience's impression of Ye Liuyun could be described as extremely poor.

There's no helping it; Xing Yao is a beauty, and Liang Xue remains so. Moreover, both are beautiful in different styles, so the audience naturally favors them a bit more.

In fact, Ye Liuyun's Golden Pupil has been monitoring Liang Xue's internal condition, so his attacks are measured, not exceeding what she can endure.

Some Qi arrows Ye Liuyun has covertly controlled dissipate automatically mid‑flight.

Liang Xue feels helpless now, never expecting her strengths—Bloodline, techniques—to be ineffective against Ye Liuyun.

If it comes to True Essence, her True Essence is likely inferior to Ye Liuyun's condensed form.

Illusions don't work on Ye Liuyun either. As for sword intent, he's even less a match.

For a moment, Liang Xue is stunned on the spot. She never imagined that against her own man, after two bouts, she would be at a loss.

"Pervert!"

Liang Xue shoots a glare at Ye Liuyun, unleashing her Creation Domain, enveloping him within.

Within Liang Xue's Creation Domain, Qi can transform into various ferocious beasts, which she commands to attack Ye Liuyun.

Using the Qi as cover, Ye Liuyun secretly tosses a Storage Ring into her Creation Domain. Inside are the resources he gave Liang Xue and a Transmission Talisman, allowing them to communicate at any time.

As for the Qi‑formed beasts, Ye Liuyun doesn't need to counter; his Physical Body alone resists, and Liang Xue can't get him.

"My Creation Domain, how do you plan to break it?" Liang Xue, seeing Ye Liuyun only defending, transmitted a voice to ask him.

Ye Liuyun actually has many ways to break Liang Xue's Creation Domain. Even by unleashing his own Creation Domain, he could burst hers.

Yet he worries Liang Xue might be displeased, so he says, "I can't break it! You're still amazing, Xue'er—may I concede?"

Liang Xue refuses to let him gloss over it.

"No! Use the method you just used to control Qi and see if you can control the Qi here."

"Fine!" Ye Liuyun sighs, immediately activates Primordial Spirit Secret Technique, and takes control of all the Qi.

Liang Xue's bloodline has affinity for Qi and possesses summoning ability.

But Ye Liuyun's Primordial Spirit Secret Technique is specialized in controlling energy. Especially the purer Qi, it handles more deftly.

In their contest, Liang Xue fails to surpass Ye Liuyun and loses control of the Qi.

Under his control, all the beasts transform back into Qi, forming a giant dragon that coils within Liang Xue's Creation Domain.

If Ye Liuyun now orders the dragon to attack, a single tail swipe could blast a huge hole through Liang Xue's Creation Domain.

If it were someone else's Creation Domain, Ye Liuyun would certainly seize the chance to drain all the Qi here.

But facing Liang Xue, he certainly cannot do so.

Liang Xue is utterly speechless now!

"So he's that strong!"

Watching Ye Liuyun, she feels an urge to rush forward and embrace him.

Yet she sighs, restrains herself, and slowly withdraws her Creation Domain.

Ye Liuyun sees her retracting the Creation Domain and immediately ceases the Primordial Spirit Secret Technique, stepping out of it.

Liang Xue secured the Creation realm, and her mood unexpectedly improved.

"I admit defeat!" she said cheerfully.

Ye Liuyun becomes safer the stronger he gets. She felt happy for Ye Liuyun from the bottom of her heart.

Ye Liuyun actually, while watching Liang Xue, also felt an impulse to rush up and hug her.

So he dared not look any longer, raised his hands, and leapt down from the arena.

"Has this kid changed? Or does he like this kind of quiet‑natured beauty?"

"Perhaps this Killing Star has developed a conscience?"

The spectators outside the arena chattered, not expecting Liang Xue to be unharmed.

Many people saw that Ye Liuyun was yielding to Liang Xue.

The Elder of the Heavenly Heart Sect, seeing Ye Liuyun constantly yielding to Liang Xue, let out a sigh of relief.

After Ye Liuyun returned, Li Qingyun and the others also started teasing him.

"Kid, this doesn't sound like you at all! You aren't… have you taken a liking to that little girl?"

Xia Tianqiong also looked at Ye Liuyun with puzzlement, not knowing what he was up to.
