Chapter 2973: Soul Shock

The women immediately took an interest in Tang Xinyao and pulled her into conversation.

Ye Liuyun kept his distance and started grilling meat for the Monster Beast and the others.

Tang Xinyao was also good at chatting and quickly learned the women's background in detail. After everyone got acquainted, they ate some more grilled meat, then Ye Liuyun ushered them into Space World and they went back to cultivate.

Ye Liuyun continued to enhance his Mysterious Origin. This time his Divine Soul Power increased dramatically, and his other powers naturally had to keep up.

Especially the Heaven and Earth Power—he and his Second Clone took turns releasing their Soul, feeling the flow of Heaven and Earth Power in the void.

After everyone entered cultivation mode, Tang Hao finally used Divine Sense Transmission Voice to chat with Tang Xinyao.

Tang Hao, having seen through Tang Xinyao's thoughts, teased, "He has so many women; you must be under a lot of pressure!"

Tang Xinyao bit her lip, pondering the issue. She hadn't expected Ye Liuyun to have so many women, and now she didn't know what to do.

Tang Hao, seeing her dilemma, said, "For someone like him, having many women is normal. If you truly like him, don't worry so much. There's plenty of time; just go with the flow!"

Tang Xinyao glanced at him and laughed, "You're surprisingly shrewd now!"

"Haha, I just know you too well; your little thoughts can't hide from me! Look, her gaze is different!" Tang Hao said proudly.

"If you dare tell anyone, I won't let you off!" Tang Xinyao threatened immediately, fearing he might slip and let Ye Liuyun know her thoughts.

"I won't, I won't!" Tang Hao truly feared Tang Xinyao. If it weren't for fighting together recently and getting close, he wouldn't have dared to approach her, lest she prank him at any moment.

Tang Xinyao gave him a cold stare, stopped arguing, and actually found Tang Hao's words reasonable, deciding to go with the flow and see.

The Spirit Cat Warship had sailed smoothly the month before, and everyone entered cultivation mode. But after leaving the Demon-Driving Xing Xi, their journey became uneasy.

The Spirit Cat Warship was too conspicuous; soon a squad of Martial Cultivators spotted it and blocked it.

Ye Liuyun was originally cultivating, but his Soul was outward, and he had already noticed the squad. He saw the group led by a Guiyi First Layer Martial Cultivator, while the others were Zhuanzai Jingjie, and thought it would be perfect for the women to spar.

If those people didn't bother them, they wouldn't act, but if they tried to make a move, it would be a good chance for training.

Sure enough, from the greedy looks the Martial Cultivators gave the Spirit Cat Warship, Ye Liuyun guessed they intended to rob the ship.

So he released the women, leading them down onto the warship. The Martial Cultivator squad, seeing a group of women descend, had thief‑like glints in their eyes.

Ye Liuyun didn't waste words, raised his palm and struck at the Guiyi First Layer strongman. That palm was powered entirely by Heaven and Earth Power.

Lately his grasp of Heaven and Earth Power had improved a lot; he had been sensing its great flow. Thus this palm was even stronger, and even against a Guiyi Second Layer Martial Cultivator, it could kill him.

With a "Boom," the leading Martial Cultivator didn't finish speaking before Ye Liuyun's palm blasted him. The other women immediately charged, each finding a suitable opponent and fighting with great relish.

Until that squad of Martial Cultivators was completely exterminated with none escaping, they returned to the warship and continued onward.

Afterwards, every two or three days they'd encounter another squad of Martial Cultivators, so the women had many fighting opportunities. Yet as time went on, the cultivators' realms grew higher, and gradually some women needed to team up to handle a single Martial Cultivator.

Gradually, the only women able to fight were Li Xinran, Liang Xue, Feng Hong Xiu, Xiao Yunfang, and Meng Qingyin. Ye Liuyun's opponents kept increasing, yet it remained easy; the strongest Martial Cultivator was only a Guiyi Second Layer, and he even seized the chance to absorb several cultivators' Souls, using Soul Search to learn their backgrounds and related information.

After returning to the warship, he briefed everyone with the information he had gathered: "The Crossing Bridge Xing Xi you mentioned is indeed the transitional Xing Xi from the Demon-Driving Star System to the Huo Yin Star System.

However, it's extremely chaotic there, a gathering of outlaws from various Xing Xi. There are even Martial Cultivator strongmen from the Huo Yin Star System, whose realms reach up to Guiyi Fifth and Sixth Layers.

The Martial Cultivators there almost daily raid and slaughter, or get raided and killed by others!"

Hearing this, Tang Xinyao and the others grew a bit worried. But the Monster Beasts beside Ye Liuyun became excited. They didn't care about anyone's realm; they just knew that place would let them strike freely.

And women with lower realms like A Xing have already entered Ye Liuyun's Space World to find suitable Xingqiu Martial Cultivators to spar with. Their battles inside don't hinder their strength growth. So Ye Liuyun simply let all the women fight inside Space World, preventing them from being disgusted by outsiders.

Ye Liuyun feels the same, eager for more chances to battle and forge himself. The higher the opponent's realm, the stronger they are, and the faster his own power rises.

Thus after each fight he scrupulously cultivates, looking forward to the next battle. He also released the Monster Beasts, letting them stay outside to cultivate and join combat at any time.

As the Spirit Cat Warship pressed onward, most of the Martial Cultivators they met were of the Guiyi realm, perfect for him and the Monster Beasts to spar, and Tang Xinyao's group often went out to warm up and practice.

After a battle ended, Ye Liuyun contemplated whether to fold the Spirit Cat Warship away.

But before he decided, over thirty Guiyi‑realm strongmen surrounded them, led by a Guiyi Fourth Layer Martial Cultivator.

Ye Liuyun was about to lead everyone out, having Tang Xinyao's group use formation to face the strongman, when that Martial Cultivator suddenly released his Soul, charging into Ye Liuyun's warship.

"That Martial Cultivator's guts are something else!" Ye Liuyun hadn't expected the cultivator to dare release his Soul outright.

"You're already surrounded by us; surrender or die!" the cultivator's Soul boasted shamelessly.

Ye Liuyun examined the Soul's size; it was indeed larger than his previous Soul, yet still smaller than his current one. Moreover, the cultivator's Soul lacked refinement.

Ye Liuyun thought that with that Soul's strength, even Lei Ming, Long Nv, and the Nine‑Head Demon Dragon couldn't be beaten.

So the Monster Beasts didn't panic, staring at the cultivator's Soul as if watching a fool. Tang Xinyao's group was also curious; with so many of them releasing Souls together, they could annihilate it.
