Chapter 553: Heavenly Pride's Dignity

Ye Liuyun saw this and, rather than taking the chance to challenge, again acted as Protector for Yu Haotian.

This is the demeanor of the strong. Yu Haotian, in order to duel Ye Liuyun, became Protector for Ye Liuyun. And Ye Liuyun, at this moment, is doing the same thing.

Although Yu Haotian is cultivating, his Divine Sense also knows that Ye Liuyun is guarding him. So deep inside, he regards Ye Liuyun's character even more highly and wishes to befriend him.

A friend who is both of good character and comparable strength is not easy to find.

At this time, Ye Liuyun is also becoming familiar with the power after his realm advanced. He also feels that the integration of his various strengths is much smoother than before.

The phantom of the Mixed Primordial War God has solidified considerably. Conversely, the advancement of the Mixed Primordial War God has also boosted the enhancement of Bloodline Power, Physical Body and Divine Soul Power.

"It seems that merging all forces during a breakthrough is the right method!"

Ye Liuyun can only explore this bit by bit on his own.

"My current cultivation method is flawless; all aspects of strength have entered a virtuous cycle, mutually promoting and enhancing each other."

Previously, when Ye Liuyun fought Yu Haotian, his only advantage was that his Divine Soul Power was a bit stronger. But now, after his Bloodline Power has mutated and evolved, his Bloodline Power is no longer inferior to Yu Haotian's.

As for the Physical Body, the two were already similar. The only remaining difference now is the True Essence.

Yu Haotian is at the Heavenly Gang Ninth Layer, while Ye Liuyun is at the Heavenly Gang Eighth Layer. However, Ye Liuyun's Mixed Primordial War God has incorporated the power of the Buddha‑Demon Golden Body, so in an actual fight, Ye Liuyun believes he can hold a draw with Yu Haotian.

As long as he can persist without losing for a short period, the advantage of his Dual‑Element Pill will manifest, and the longer the fight, the greater his advantage.

Thinking this, he resumed cultivating the Mixed Primordial War God, continuously merging several forces to make it more solid.

Outside the Secret Realm, Yao Xinghai and the group of Elders were very satisfied with the approaches of Ye Liuyun and Yu Haotian. m.

"This is the dignity a Heavenly Pride should have!" an Elder praised Yu Haotian and Ye Liuyun, then teasingly glanced at Elder Yan Jiu of the Flame Palace.

Lie Hongxia's despicable actions not only failed to harm Ye Liuyun, but she was severely injured by him. This incident has already caused many to feel disappointed in Lie Hongxia.

Elder Yan Jiu was publicly squeezed out by others, and there's little to say about it. Who let Lie Hongxia fail!

If Lie Hongxia had won, these people wouldn't have said anything. So she not only doesn't blame Lie Hongxia, but instead harbors hatred toward Ye Liuyun!

At this moment, Lie Hongxia is together with Meng Wentian, snatching Tokens everywhere.

Their injuries have only just healed, yet they dare not delay any longer. They must seize enough Tokens before the top‑hundred prodigy rankings are finalized.

Meng Wentian's Token was not taken, but he still tries to help Lie Hongxia snatch Fortune.

"Truly thank you! When I return, I will definitely compensate you!"

Lie Hongxia expressed gratitude to Meng Wentian and plans to send him some cultivation resources after returning. In her view, only this way can she show thanks.

Meng Wentian gave a wry smile and shook his head. "No need! I helped you merely to fulfill our alliance. Once we leave this Secret Realm, we will no longer be allies!"

Meng Wentian was extremely disappointed in Lie Hongxia. "So this woman is not only capriciously selfish, but also clueless about human affairs. Sigh, I'll count this as my bad luck! From now on, don't get involved with her again!"

He was scheming in his mind. Lie Hongxia, however, was unaware of the issue and kept talking about what cultivation resources she would give him.

Finally, Meng Wentian was too lazy even to listen, merely responding with a vague "Hmm…".

He now also hopes this contest ends quickly. Being with Lie Hongxia is truly a torment.

Outside the Secret Realm, the Alliance Elders tallied the number of Heavenly Pride within the Secret Realm.

"Vice Alliance Leader Yao, up to now, the number of geniuses who have perished in the Secret Realm is approaching two hundred! We even lost two Heavenly Pride. This loss is too great…"

Yao Xinghai first sighed, then said, "How can these youths grow without the baptism of blood and storm? Moreover, isn't a new batch of Heavenly Pride emerging? Ye Liuyun, Mo Tianheng, Thunder Dragon Beast, Long Nv and others are all worthy of being Heavenly Pride. No need to worry; let nature take its course!"

Although Lei Ming and the Earth Demon Dragon were injured slightly more than Yu Haotian, they cultivated within the Xuan Kong Shi and recovered faster than Yu Haotian.

After they emerged, Ye Liuyun sent Lei Ming, carrying the Earth Demon Dragon and two other Demon Race prodigies, to snatch more Tokens.

Since the two can even face Yu Haotian, Ye Liuyun feels at ease letting them go out alone now.

The next to appear was Long Nv. Long Nv has broken through to the Heavenly Gang Ninth Layer, and her strength has greatly increased.

Ye Liuyun told Long Nv to also snatch some Tokens: "You go and fight for more Tokens; no need to stay here. When you become a dragon, we'll surely meet again. Who knows, this martial contest might be a chance. So go gather more Fortune; it'll benefit you."

Long Nv immediately agreed. She also does not want to give up the chance to hone her combat here.

The last to emerge was Liang Xue; her realm had only just broken through to the late stage of the Heavenly Gang Fourth Layer before she came out to rest.

She mainly wants to spend more time with Ye Liuyun.

"I'm leaving Lingxi Palace this time and don't plan to return; I want to stay with you. May I?"

Liang Xue asked directly.

"Of course! As long as you're willing, I'm always welcome!"

Ye Liuyun also halted his cultivation, chatted with Liang Xue, and took out some meat to grill for her.

The two cuddled together, looking very affectionate.

Outside, Su Miaoyin saw their intimacy and couldn't help feeling a pang of sourness.

After the meat was grilled, the two were slowly eating.

Yu Haotian's voice came over: "How about sharing some grilled meat? Won't keep you lovebirds from being intimate, right?" At this point, his injuries had fully healed.

"Ha ha, no problem. Come, I've grilled plenty; we'll eat our fill and then fight!"

Seeing that he had recovered, Ye Liuyun immediately invited him over to eat together, and brought out his own stored wine to drink and chat with him.

"What kind of power is the Guardian God Seal you cultivated?" Yu Haotian asked Ye Liuyun.

"What Guardian God Seal?" Ye Liuyun asked, puzzled.

"You don't know? Then how did you…?" This time it was Yu Haotian who was puzzled.
