Chapter 229: Wings Gradually Flourish

Ye Liuyun left Lingyun Pavilion and went straight to the Merit Hall to exchange for his Merit Points.

When Ye Liuyun presented all the Corpse Demon's crystal cores he had collected, even the Elder in charge of tallying was stunned.

Since he started using crystal cores to exchange Merit Points, this is the disciple who has exchanged the most points; it gave Ye Liuyun more than twenty thousand points.

A few nearby disciples who caught sight of Ye Liuyun's points were also extremely envious.

Merit Points in the Main Institute are very valuable. Ten points can be exchanged for one Heaven Tier Pill. With twenty thousand points, Ye Liuyun could even exchange for a holy artifact.

However, Ye Liuyun only exchanged for some medicinal herbs and a Bone‑Marrow Refining Pill, then went to the Library to exchange for a cultivation technique.

In the Library, he finally exchanged for the lower half of the Bà Tiān technique, costing him only five hundred points.

He wasn't in a hurry to spend the remaining points, saying he'd wait to see what he might need later.

After returning, he distributed the Bone‑Marrow Refining Pills to Wu Qingcheng, Lei Ming and others; his own pill he would save until after his breakthrough.

Next, he couldn't wait to cultivate the subsequent moves of the Overbearing Heaven Fist.

The fourth move of the Overbearing Heaven Fist, "Break Realm", surprisingly required Ye Liuyun to draw upon forty percent of his bloodline power.

When he tried it, he truly felt boundless power, capable of smashing a Martial Cultivator of Ninth Sea Transformation with a single punch.

Even though Ye Liuyun felt he was still unskilled and hadn't fully unleashed its power, this one punch could already pierce the void.

Ye Liuyun activated his Golden Pupil and saw the void's barriers shattered by that punch.

Combined with his thunder‑fire power, the thunder‑fire Break Realm punch ignited the void wherever its force passed.

However, the punch consumes a lot. Even with his Fifth Sea Transformation Qi Sea, he could only deliver three punches before his True Essence would be completely drained.

Ye Liuyun immediately restored his True Essence and then continued to cultivate further.

The fifth punch, "Invincible". Ye Liuyun tried it and a single punch exhausted all the True Essence in his Qi Sea.

But that punch was enough to smash a Saint.

Moreover, the impact was so massive that it directly shattered the Defense Array of Tianqian Feng!

Even the Grand Elder's Divine Sense swept over; upon discovering Ye Liuyun had been cultivating, he withdrew his Divine Sense and sent people to repair the formation.

Ye Liuyun felt uneasy, dared not continue training, and hurried back to the Grand Hall to restore his True Essence.

Soon, someone arrived to repair the formation. The Grand Elder even had them build a dedicated Cultivation Room for Ye Liuyun. This room not only had formation defenses, but its materials were incredibly sturdy.

"This Cultivation Room was built to high standards. Within the Saint Realm, nothing can shatter it. From now on, cultivate here, so you don't end up tearing down Tianqian Feng one day!" After handing the Cultivation Room to Ye Liuyun, the Grand Elder said with a smile.

It seemed a reproach toward Ye Liuyun, but in truth, seeing his punches wield such power made him genuinely pleased; otherwise he wouldn't have gone to the trouble of building a Cultivation Room for him.

Ye Liuyun quickly thanked his master, moved the Cultivation Room into his own Dongtian Dadian, and replaced his own room with it.

For this, he indeed spent a lot of time and effort.

With the remaining time, he focused on refining the fourth and fifth moves of the Overbearing Heaven Fist, continuously improving them; as for the sixth move, it requires his entire bloodline to awaken, and his current conditions are insufficient.

The scheduled battle between Lingyun Pavilion and Clear River Pavilion attracted much attention from the disciples.

For years, Clear River Pavilion's status has been unshakable. Consequently, within the academy it acts as it wishes, seizing many disciples' cultivation resources.

Thus, in reality many hope for Clear River Pavilion's downfall, but dare not voice it.

However, they don't think a group of newcomers can stand against Clear River Pavilion; they view Lingyun Pavilion as merely a chick trying to crack a stone.

Clear River Pavilion has been operating for years, winning over many academy disciples; its foundation is deep. Moreover, many of its members come from influential families, not easily offended by ordinary people.

Therefore, all the academy's disciples are waiting to see Lingyun Pavilion's joke.

Since Ye Liuyun killed Ge Chengyu, the Profound Heaven Saint has also begun to watch Ye Liuyun. However, because Ye Liuyun is a disciple of the Grand Elder, the saint finds it inconvenient to act himself.

So after his senior disciple Li Xuanbing returned from hunting Corpse Demons, he assigned him a task.

"Kill that Ye Liuyun, your junior brother; in two days he'll represent Lingyun Pavilion to battle Clear River Pavilion. Go to Clear River Pavilion to get a combat slot, and avenge your junior brother!"

Li Xuanbing, hearing this, asked curiously: "A newly initiated disciple—Clear River Pavilion can dispatch a few inner-door disciples and wipe them out; why does Master ask me to act personally?"

"Ye Liuyun is a Holy Son cultivated by the Destiny King. In a short time his realm has risen so fast; his bloodline must be extraordinary. We were previously deceived by him. Your junior brother Mu Bai may also meet his end at this kid's hands."

The Profound Heaven Saint had never paid much attention to the minor figure Ye Liuyun, but didn't expect him to grow so quickly.

"Moreover, as a Grand Elder disciple, he will have superior cultivation resources, so we can't let him continue to grow! Striking him can be said to avenge your junior brother, which is a sufficient reason. Even if you kill him, the Grand Elder won't do anything to you!"

Li Xuanbing nodded at this. "Very well. Then this time I will eliminate this trouble for Master, and kill him."

"Good! Your realm has already broken through to the Ninth Sea Transformation, so dealing with that kid should be more than enough. For this year's Seven Sects Grand Competition, prepare well; I will help you secure a slot!"

The Grand Elder showed no worry that Li Xuanbing couldn't handle Ye Liuyun; instead, he arranged the Seven Sects Grand Competition matters for him.

After thanking his master, Li Xuanbing went straight to Clear River Pavilion to arrange the match.

He is not only a disciple of the Profound Heaven Saint but also a member of Clear River Pavilion. As a disciple of his realm, he volunteered to join the battle, and Clear River Pavilion welcomed him.

Clear River Pavilion originally sent only an Eighth Sea Transformation disciple, the highest level for this match. They thought a disciple of that realm was enough to handle the newcomers. With Li Xuanbing now, they are even more confident of victory!

Although Ye Liuyun killed Ge Chengyu, he still has little reputation in the academy, and few know his strength.

He previously concealed his bloodline power as much as possible to lull the Profound Heaven Saint into complacency.

Now that he is a Grand Elder disciple, to gain the academy's recognition he knows his bloodline power can no longer stay hidden and must be shown appropriately.

As for the Profound Heaven Saint, he no longer poses a great threat! With the Grand Elder present, he dares not act against him directly.

He finally no longer has to worry about the Profound Heaven Saint and can confront him head‑on.

Thus he volunteered to fight. Moreover, his wings are now gradually flourishing; relying on his own strength, he can contend with Ninth Sea Transformation and no longer fears the Profound Heaven Saint's disciples causing trouble.

"Profound Heaven Saint, I've concealed my light for so long; it's time to give you a big surprise! If you knew, you'd regret it to your core!"

Ye Liuyun has already prepared himself in his heart to face the Profound Heaven Saint.
