Chapter 730: Breaking Through Self

Qian Feng nodded. "I think the same! But I still feel the starting point of training is a bit high!"

"It's already started, don't think about it! Believe this kid will adapt soon!"

Song Yan also had no intention of letting Ye Liuyun start over. Since it's already begun, it's better to rely on his own training to get through it.

"Hmm," Qian Feng also replied: "By rights, this kid's soul is sufficient in level; he should be able to handle it! It just depends on whether he can break through that mental barrier."

The two of them were also nervously observing from outside the arena.

Ye Liuyun indeed adapted quickly; he now maintains an advantage, pressing down on his opponent.

But he felt he had merely adapted, with no improvement in any aspect of his power.

As for his soul, it didn't seem particularly abundant, and his sword intent hadn't improved either.

He wanted to focus more on sword intent, but if he got distracted, the primary soul's allocation to other powers would become negligent; in serious cases, it would even affect the cultivation of the secondary soul.

Gradually, he himself realized: "My soul has reached the venerable level, so why is it still not enough?"

Only then did he realize the problem lay within himself.

He had been constantly wandering in thought, worrying about failure; that was the main reason his soul was scattered.

Having figured out the cause, he immediately corrected himself, focusing on comprehending sword intent.

As soon as he stopped wandering thoughts, his soul immediately focused. Besides the portion he used for sword intent, the rest of his soul power naturally distributed elsewhere.

Now he no longer worries whether his soul is sufficient; instead, he saves a large portion of it, making his cultivation and attack flow more smoothly.

With a "pfft," not long after, Ye Liuyun split his opponent in one stroke, dividing him into two clusters of spirit energy that drifted in the air, finishing the first opponent.

This was his sword intent, gaining a slight improvement in focused chopping; the opponent, too, finally couldn't hold on.

"Haha! I said it, this kid is absolutely brilliant! He became so focused so quickly!"

Qian Feng saw Ye Liuyun's change and laughed heartily in satisfaction.

"That's exactly what I said!" Song Yan replied, but his face was also full of smiles, obviously very pleased with Ye Liuyun's performance.

Ye Liuyun himself finally understood: under multiple pressures, the more he thinks, the more it affects his power output; better to think of nothing and just focus on fighting.

Soon, spirit energy condensed into a new opponent.

This opponent looked the same as before, but his sword intent was a bit higher, putting him on par with Ye Liuyun again.

"Good! Let's fight!"

Ye Liuyun now found the trick: the stronger the opponent's sword intent, the happier he naturally is; he can seize the chance to keep improving.

Moreover, unconsciously, his Nether Ghost Fire was also increasing.

True Essence was not only constantly being replenished, but his realm was also slowly rising.

"This Hundred Battles Arena is truly a fine treasure!"

Ye Liuyun originally thought the Hundred Battles Arena wasn't very practical, consuming too many Spirit Stones.

Now it seems these expenses are still worthwhile!

As long as it boosts strength, spending any amount of Spirit Stones is worthwhile; even if he had to produce them himself, he would persist in training.

"Fight!"

"Fight!"

"Fight!"

Ye Liuyun got interested, the more he fought, the more excited he became.

Against each opponent, he gave his all, continually improving all aspects of his strength.

His sword intent also saw great improvement; the entire sword-intent seed is now undergoing a full transformation toward the shape of a blade.

"It looks like in the next stage, the sword-intent seed will truly become a sword!"

Ye Liuyun also noticed the change in the sword-intent seed.

However, although he is improving quickly, the change in the sword-intent seed is minuscule.

"It seems there's still a long way to go!"

After sensing it, Ye Liuyun immediately withdrew his attention and gave his all to the fight.

His current opponent, although also wielding a sword, had the form of a demon cultivator.

Starting from the fifth opponent, his opponents' appearances kept changing, and their techniques varied, but their sword intent continually rose, always staying on par with him.

This demon cultivator can not only use sword intent, but his realm is also two levels higher than Ye Liuyun's.

Ye Liuyun estimated that this is because the Demon Slaying Sword has an advantage over demon cultivators.

The demon cultivator's realm being two levels higher exactly balances against Ye Liuyun; each strike, carrying demon qi, doubles the enhancement of sword intent to counteract the Demon Slaying Sword's suppression.

Ye Liuyun instantly felt the pressure greatly increase.

He himself was also invoking Buddha Light Power, merging it into his sword intent. However, his Buddha Light Power, while able to restrain demon qi, does not greatly enhance sword intent.

Ye Liuyun, while fighting, also sensed ways to strengthen his sword intent.

He warned himself: "Don't merely increase power; also ensure that every increment of added strength serves to strengthen the attack."

With his focused improvement, the enhancing effect of his added power became noticeably greater.

Ye Liuyun thus continually broke through himself in battle; after over twenty fights, all aspects of his strength rapidly improved.

Especially by fighting while cultivating, he now feels little strong pressure.

Song Yan and Qian Feng, watching Ye Liuyun continually progress, also felt moved from the outside.

"This kid, actually able to fight twenty-three matches undefeated! This truly exceeds my expectations!" Song Yan now looked at Ye Liuyun, his face full of smiles.

"This kid is a cultivation genius; he fundamentally doesn't need anyone's guidance. Wherever he lacks, he learns from opponents, and he learns quickly!"

Song Yan and Qian Feng both fully acknowledged Ye Liuyun's cultivation talent.

Song Yan sighed: "It's a pity we can't teach him for long! If he could someday find a powerful master to constantly guide him, his progress would be incredibly fast!"

The two of them outside also continually sighed. They believed that, given Ye Liuyun's talent, if someone could always accompany him, he would practically grow at breakneck speed.

However, such people are also hard to find; unless they are Divine Rank experts, otherwise they will soon be surpassed by Ye Liuyun, and then there will be nothing left to teach.

Let's first get past the Underworld God's trial before we talk! Qian Feng sighed.

Only then did they reveal solemn expressions.

They all knew that if the Underworld God sent people several times and still couldn't capture Ye Liuyun, then he would truly come out himself.

Once the Nether Curse is planted, if the Underworld God does not complete it, it will also bring a backlash upon himself.

Given Ye Liuyun's current strength, it is estimated that by then he won't even be able to run away!
