Chapter 690: Focused Cultivation

One grows stronger, the other weaker; the situation instantly reverses.

Qu Xuefeng gained the upper hand, blasting the Star-Moon Fox with a punch until it vomited blood and conceded.

Ye Liuyun's Golden Pupil carefully observed Qu Xuefeng's bloodline circulation routes and method, then immediately began improving it.

"Great! This also counts as not wasting time coming to fight. Even if I can't see Tuoba Qi, just this bloodline technique is worth it!"

Actually, Ye Liuyun didn't know that this bloodline circulation technique was a hereditary technique of the Qu Clan, not the Lingxiao Sect's technique that Qu Xuefeng belongs to.

But even if he knew, he would still learn it faithfully. No matter what technique, as long as it could enhance his strength, he would take it as reference to improve his strength.

After Qu Xuefeng defeated the Star-Moon Fox, he hesitated a moment, but still went down to rest.

He was also worried about encountering strong opponents in later fights, so he didn't force himself to continue fighting.

Tuoba Qi and other martial cultivators, like Ye Liuyun, were initially surprised, but later understood.

"As expected of a great sect like Lingxiao Sect, they even have this kind of technique!"

They were the same, not knowing this technique was Qu Xuefeng's hereditary technique, and thought it was Lingxiao Sect's technique.

After Qu Xuefeng stepped down, it was Qiu Tianyang's turn to go on stage.

His first opponent was very strong, forcing him to use a Venerable-rank treasure to barely win.

So he immediately withdrew, not forcing himself to continue fighting.

His self-set goal was: once he used a treasure, he would immediately withdraw, no longer taking risks.

Later opponents would only get stronger. He was here to make money, not to play with his life.

As the number of challengers with winning streaks dwindled, it soon became Ye Liuyun's turn to fight again.

This time, Ye Liuyun was focused on cultivating his bloodline power, so he fought only one match and immediately went back to rest.

Lei Ming fought three consecutive matches, then went back to replenish his True Essence.

Long Nv fought two consecutive matches, then went down to rest.

Long Nv had not cultivated the Dual Core Pellet, so her True Essence was far less than Lei Ming's; therefore, in later battles she could no longer compare with Lei Ming and needed to rest often.

Ye Liuyun's Divine Sense noticed this; when Long Nv went back to rest, he directly transmitted the method of cultivating the Dual Core Pellet to her via Divine Sense, so she could cultivate it herself later.

Next, Qu Xuefeng went on stage again, fought three consecutive matches before resting. Ye Liuyun also continued to watch him.

Unfortunately, he didn't use any new tricks. Whenever he encountered a strong opponent, he suppressed them using his bloodline power's internal circulation method.

When it was Ye Liuyun's turn to fight again, the main pathway of his internal bloodline circulation had just been completed, but it was still far from actual operation.

So he again directly launched a Spiritual Soul Attack, quickly defeated his opponent, then went back to cultivate.

This left many people puzzled.

Spiritual Soul Attack does not consume True Essence, yet Ye Liuyun fights only one match each time and immediately returns.

Not only did the audience boo, but even Qu Xuefeng and Tuoba Qi were puzzled, not knowing what trick he had up his sleeve.

But Ye Liuyun completely ignored others' opinions, continuing to do as he pleased.

Until Lei Ming had already achieved thirty consecutive wins did he fight four matches. Afterwards, Qu Xuefeng and Long Nv also successively achieved thirty consecutive wins.

Instead, he became the slowest one.

"What the hell is this kid up to now!"

Tuoba Qi was also puzzled. But he could tell Ye Liuyun was focusing on cultivation; however, he didn't know what he was cultivating.

So he wasn't anxious either; instead, he looked forward to Ye Liuyun making some major breakthrough.

Ye Liuyun has so far demonstrated Divine Soul Power, Blade Intent, Spatial Power, and Golden Crow Holy Fire; other powers he has not really revealed.

At least, after showing a bit of bloodline power, the abundance of True Essence, Blood Thunder, etc., there was no further mention.

So Tuoba Qi now looks forward to someone forcing him to display greater and more strength.

Tuoba Qi is also not anxious. Seeing Ye Liuyun's posture, he likely won't stop at thirty consecutive wins.

So he also calmed down and waited slowly.

Moreover, the fights of Lei Ming, Long Nv, and Qu Xuefeng were also exciting, so he didn't find it boring.

Ye Liuyun at this moment is seizing every bit of time to construct the meridian pathways for bloodline circulation inside his body.

Most of the task is already completed. He is earnestly trying to operate it, making improvements after discovering problems.

Even when he appeared and the steward called him, he didn't hear it. Only when the steward called him with Divine Sense did he stop, somewhat impatiently entering the standby area.

His opponent this turn was actually a Sword Cultivator, and judging by appearance, his Sword Intent was also not weak.

This person looked to be in his fifties, practicing the Sword Dao, even his headtop was pointed.

Ye Liuyun could tell from the audience's cheers that this Sword Cultivator was not ordinary.

He heard someone call this martial cultivator the Sword God.

Moreover, this Sword Cultivator's realm was one level higher than Ye Liuyun's.

"Anyone who can be called a 'God' must not be weak. At least within Yi Cheng, there should be no match for him."

So Ye Liuyun immediately adjusted his attitude, treating it seriously.

After the Sword God went on stage, he smiled and said to Ye Liuyun: "Young man, I see your Blade Intent is not bad; I've come to ask for your guidance."

"No need for politeness, just make your move!"

Ye Liuyun said calmly. He would not lower his guard just because of a few words from the opponent.

As for what the opponent said, he actually paid no attention at all. He came on stage just to fight to the death; talking more is useless.

But his saying that almost made the Sword God's nose crooked from anger.

"I said 'please advise' just to be polite, yet you took it seriously! Young man, truly lacking manners!" Thinking this, his gaze also turned sharp.

This kind of gaze is what Ye Liuyun feels should be seen in a Sword Cultivator's eyes.

"A Sword Cultivator should be straightforward, that's the spirit of the Sword Dao!"

Although Ye Liuyun doesn't understand the sword, he also feels that the artistic conception principles of blade and sword should be compatible.

Blade intent takes a domineering path, while sword intent takes a sharp path.

So whether one cultivates the blade or the sword, people should prefer simplicity and directness.

"Make your move! Otherwise I'm afraid you won't get a chance!" the Sword God said again.

"What a lot of nonsense!"

The favorable impression of the Sword God that had just formed in Ye Liuyun's heart vanished again.

Ye Liuyun sneered at him, then immediately swung the Demon Slaying Sword and chopped straight over.

His strike was merely a probe, he didn't use full strength.

The Sword God also immediately drew his sword and blocked his strike.
