Chapter 127: One Punch Sends Flying

Li Hongwu glanced at the remaining people; besides Ye Liuyun and their three, there were three others standing together, not moving forward. Though these people were a bit weaker than him, the difference wasn't great, and if they grouped up they wouldn't need his protection.

Only Ye Liuyun's realm was the lowest.

So he said to Ye Liuyun: "You True Essence Sixth Layer kid! Which Elder's disciple are you? Don't you value your life? Hurry up and get over here!"

Ye Liuyun was speechless. My realm is low, why would I offend anyone! Getting scolded right after coming up?

He immediately retorted: "Can you speak human language?"

"Huh? You kid are courting death, aren't you?" Li Hongwu, angry, walked straight toward Ye Liuyun. "Kneel and apologize, or I'll prevent you from taking part in the operation today."

Ye Liuyun looked at him with contempt. Divine Sense noticed Elder Xuanhuan smiling nearby, showing no intention to intervene.

On the other side, Steward Yue also came out with a bunch of tokens; seeing them about to act, he stopped and watched the spectacle.

The other disciples wore spectator expressions, voluntarily giving up space for them to fight.

"Looks like fighting isn't prohibited here!" Ye Liuyun felt a surge of excitement. He had just practiced a fist technique last night with nowhere to test it, and now a target appeared.

"Kneel and apologize!" Li Hongwu wore an arrogant, lofty expression.

"Get lost!"

Ye Liuyun let out a loud shout, and at the same time True Essence surged within him. His True Essence now exerts force faster than before. Having rebuilt his Meridians, his power output is much quicker. After building more Meridians these two days, the True Essence circulation speed doubled.

Instantly, his Physical Body power and True Essence gathered into his fist, and he punched out with a booming strike.

The momentum that erupted in that instant secretly startled Steward Yue.

This kid's strength jumped a huge notch! How did he cultivate!

Li Hongwu also felt threatened and immediately threw a full‑force punch. His speed wasn't slow, but his power was far inferior to Ye Liuyun's.

Ye Liuyun's punch, imbued with thunder and flame and a piercing whistling sound, "Boom!" sent Li Hongwu flying, spitting blood.

When he hit the ground, his body was still numb from the thunder strike, rolling several times. His fist and forearm were charred, emitting a roasted‑meat smell.

Disciples who didn't know Ye Liuyun swallowed their saliva. Those who did were so shocked they couldn't close their mouths.

"How did Ye Liuyun become this strong!"

They all thought that simultaneously.

Steward Yue, after seeing Ye Liuyun's punch, seemed a bit excited.

"That's Overbearing Heaven Fist!" he recognized at a glance, having seen others use it before. Though then it lacked thunder and flame, the way of exerting force was identical.

This kind of power, like a primeval ferocious beast, once seen you'll never forget.

Only that person eventually burned himself out. No idea what will become of Ye Liuyun!

Elder Xuanhuan was somewhat disappointed, regretting that Ye Liuyun didn't use illusion technique against Li Hongwu. He was sure that with illusion technique Ye Liuyun could have won.

Nevertheless he was amazed by Ye Liuyun's strength. True Essence Sixth Layer can unleash Sea Transformation realm power, showing Ye Liuyun's martial cultivation talent isn't inferior to his own as a Soul Master.

After a brief silence, Steward Yue went to check Li Hongwu, then shook his head and ordered someone to carry him away.

Everyone could see that Ye Liuyun's punch left Li Hongwu seriously injured, his arm burned to ruin.

And Ye Liuyun's Illusion Pupil saw more clearly; Li Hongwu's arm and half his upper body's Meridians and bones were also destroyed. Yet these aren't irrecoverable; his master can obtain medicine to heal him.

The charred arm will be harder to recover.

The other disciples looked at Ye Liuyun, all with fearful eyes!

Is this still a True Essence Sixth Layer Martial Cultivator? Probably a monster!

Steward Yue said little, directly took out the record cards, handed them out one by one, and personally tested each.

Then he announced some precautions: "…Remember, inside there is no support, and you cannot withdraw midway. So protect yourselves and hold out until the record cards bring you out."

Then he ordered everyone to change out of academy attire, handing in all academy‑related clothes, tokens, and such.

In other words, even if they die in the Secret Realm and the Xuemo Sect finds their bodies, the academy won't acknowledge them as disciples. At this point everyone's mood became solemn.

After confirming everyone was fine, he let them board the snow sculpture. Elder Xuanhuan piloted the snow sculpture from the front, Steward Yue guarded the rear, and the group flew away from the academy.

After they left, the dean Nan Feng appeared in the former site.

"Kid, you really made it! Mastered it in two days!" Nan Feng muttered excitedly.

"When he returns, I'll re‑check his Bloodline Power. That Bloodline Power just now wasn't as ordinary as the test suggested!"

Given his experience, he could tell the Bloodline test result for Ye Liuyun was inaccurate. Just by his cultivation talent, he's certainly not mediocre.

Then, after a moment's thought, he rushed to the Grand Elder's residence. The Grand Elder's disciple had been disabled; he needed to go give Ye Liuyun aftercare, bring some good medicine for burns, so the Grand Elder won't later force Ye Liuyun into a desperate fight.

Ye Liuyun, on the back of the snow sculpture, ate a Condensing Core Pill and kept cultivating. He must stay in top condition for the upcoming battle.

The snow sculpture was enormous; they could sit spread out comfortably.

After flying for a while, the snow sculpture suddenly descended.

Everyone thought they'd arrived. Steward Yue announced: "We'll walk the rest. The snow sculpture's target is too large, attracting Xuemo Sect masters' attention. There's only one spatial tunnel; we'll go straight through under the Xuemo Sect's watchful eyes. Everyone, do not emit killing intent or battle intent."

The crowd was stunned, not understanding what that meant.

"Go straight in? Will the Xuemo Sect let us in?" a disciple asked curiously.

Elder Xuanhuan took over: "With me there, they'll let you in."

Many disciples who knew Elder Xuanhuan could use illusion technique immediately understood: they would use illusion to deceive the Xuemo Sect guards.

Yet after grasping it, they all inhaled sharply; it was too thrilling! If exposed, they wouldn't need to enter, they'd just start fighting.

The Xuemo Sect guards at the tunnel entrance surely include saints or late‑stage Sea Transformation Elders!

"You needn't handle anything; me and Steward Yue will take care of it!" Elder Xuanhuan said, and led them toward the Secret Realm entrance.

Ye Liuyun was quite excited; finally he could see how Elder Xuanhuan performed illusion technique, maybe he could steal some knowledge.

After about an hour's walk, Ye Liuyun felt Elder Xuanhuan begin to cast illusion technique.

The illusion technique was applied to all of them, though many disciples didn't notice.

He also used illusion technique to sense, discovering Elder Xuanhuan had turned everyone into the appearance of Xuemo Sect disciples and Elders.

Ye Liuyun carefully felt Elder Xuanhuan's illusion technique. Elder Xuanhuan, seeing him seize the chance to learn without prompting, nodded approvingly.
