Chapter 472: Bloodline Suppression
Xiong Batian's Bloodline Power was originally very strong.
But after being suppressed, much of it cannot be exerted.
His current Bloodline Power, compared to before, has been further unsealed, so in this battle he relied entirely on his Bloodline Power, and as soon as he stepped onto the stage he began suppressing his opponent, causing the opponent's strength to be unable to reach even half.
"So this is the effect of Bloodline Pressure," Ye Liuyun thought after seeing it, feeling deeply moved.
If he unleashes his Bloodline Power, most people before him would see their strength greatly reduced.
This move, especially when his Soul is not far from the opponent's and there is no absolute advantage, if the opponent is not much higher than him, he can also give it a try. m.
Xiong Batian's fight ended quickly.
"Big brother, come to the tavern!" Ye Liuyun used Divine Sense to send him a Transmission Voice, and he only then noticed Ye Liuyun.
He immediately ran toward the tavern, not even using the door, leaping straight up through a window.
"Brother Ye? So it's really you! Ha ha, you made me wait so painfully!" Xiong Batian shouted loudly upon seeing Ye Liuyun.
"Oh, you were waiting for me?" Ye Liuyun asked oddly.
Xiong Batian explained, "Yes! After I broke through my realm, my old man let me out. I also heard a lot about you, so I wanted to find you. But Iron Eagle Sect wouldn't let me in, so I had to wander around the nearby towns, hoping to run into you. If I still couldn't find you, I'd have to wait until the regional tournament to see you."
"That really was hard work, big brother. But the tournament is only a few days away!" Ye Liuyun invited him to sit and poured him wine.
Xiong Batian glanced at the Ninth Princess and bluntly said, "Little lady, have you set your eyes on my brother? Let me tell you, don't throw a princess temper at my brother, or I won't spare you!"
The Ninth Princess pursed her lips, said disdainfully, "What can you do if you don't spare me? Try to touch me! I tell you, I'm now your brother's woman, don't think about bullying me again!"
"Huh? Sure, brother, you're pretty fast! Even the princess got slept with you?" Xiong Batian immediately became interested.
"She's teasing you, don't listen to her nonsense." Ye Liuyun was also speechless. This is not a proper princess, saying whatever she wants!
"Hmph! He's just too embarrassed to admit it!" the Ninth Princess snorted, then ignored the two and went to talk with Wu Qingcheng.
Xiong Batian stopped entangling with her, turned to Ye Liuyun and said, "Brother, are you free? Let's have a match. I've wanted to spar with you for a long time but never got the chance. How about now?"
"Sure! But we don't need a stage; we can just compare Bloodline Power here." Ye Liuyun knew his Bloodline Power was strong, so he only needed to test his strong point.
"Fine then!" Xiong Batian didn't mind.
So the two of them consecutively released their Bloodline Power.
At first Ye Liuyun only followed his increase. Meanwhile Golden Pupil observed the release of his Bloodline Power.
After Xiong Batian pushed his Bloodline Power to the limit, seeing Ye Liuyun not being suppressed, he frowned. Moreover, it wasn't just Ye Liuyun; even those around him seemed to react little.
Only the Ninth Princess showed a slight reaction, appearing somewhat strained in resistance, but only slightly, without major effect.
"Could it be that my own Bloodline Power has failed?"
While Xiong Batian was doubting, Ye Liuyun's Bloodline Power suddenly burst, jumping from forty percent to seventy percent.
At that moment, the others couldn't stand it. They instantly felt the Bloodline out of control, as if solidified.
Only Lei Ming and Bai Hu could barely resist his Bloodline Pressure.
Yet Xiong Batian's Bloodline Seal, under the stimulus of this Bloodline Power, opened by a full ten percent.
Golden Pupil observed his change, saw that it helped unlock part of the seal, and then he also retracted the Bloodline Power.
"Alright, I can help you with this, the rest you'll have to do yourself," Ye Liuyun said with a smile to Xiong Batian.
Upon hearing, Xiong Batian immediately understood; Ye Liuyun was intentionally helping him. "Looks like my brother already knew my Bloodline Power was sealed!" He's straightforward but not stupid.
"Hahaha, thank you so much, brother!" Xiong Batian lifted his cup and drank together with Ye Liuyun.
The Ninth Princess glared fiercely at the two of them.
Ye Liuyun's sudden burst of Bloodline Power just now almost suppressed her to the point of suffocation. Her whole Bloodline nearly solidified. If Ye Liuyun hadn't withdrawn the Bloodline Power in time, she would likely have fainted on the spot.
"You should also hurry to strengthen your Bloodline Power," Wu Qingcheng said to the Ninth Princess.
"Hmm! I'll train properly when I get back!" the Ninth Princess resolved. Otherwise, even Ye Liuyun's Bloodline Pressure alone she couldn't endure, how could she mingle with him later? She doesn't want to be despised by Ye Liuyun.
Xiong Batian drank joyfully. The Bloodline Power he fretted over daily was suddenly unlocked by a tenth by Ye Liuyun. This was better than the results of his years of effort; how could he not be pleased.
After a hearty drink, Xiong Batian finally said farewell to Ye Liuyun. He then returned directly to Royal City, having arranged to meet Ye Liuyun at the regional selection tournament in a few days.
Lei Ming and the Ninth Princess, having spent a day out, were about done, and Ye Liuyun led them back to Iron Eagle Sect, waiting for the regional tournament to begin.
Iron Eagle Sect's competition slots were finally announced. Ye Liuyun was pleased that, besides the previous ten, two more slots were added. Those were Iron Eagle Sect's privileges, two internally recommended slots.
Of those two privileges, one was given to Piao Yun.
He had long wanted Piao Yun to compete, but feared people would think he was favoritism. Unexpectedly, Jing Wudi had already prepared, fulfilling his wish.
The day before the regional qualifiers, they all rushed to Golden Phoenix Royal City, staying in the Side Courtyard prepared by Iron Eagle Sect, awaiting the next day's start.
Royal City has been especially bustling these days; all the talented contestants across the realm have gathered here, a true gathering of masters. Even those with no hope in the selection come to join the fun. Watching the masters' matches can inspire one's own cultivation.
Lei Ming and the Ninth Princess, seeing the extra bustle, couldn't stay. Moreover, they hadn't cultivated that night, so both nudged Ye Liuyun to go out for a walk.
Ye Liuyun, reluctantly, agreed to their request.
Ru Yue and Yu Er needed to seize time to cultivate and prepare for a breakthrough, so they stayed inside Xuan Kong Shi. Piao Yun also cultivated for tomorrow's battle, so she didn't come out. Bai Hu, having eaten a full dinner, was too lazy to move.
Ye Liuyun only took Lei Ming, the Ninth Princess, and Wu Qingcheng out for a stroll.
At night, Royal City was lit with countless lanterns, bustling even more than daytime, with many stalls hawking goods.
