Chapter 78: Realm Too Low

This time, for the border reinforcement, the number of troops dispatched already exceeded the border's request by some, and their strength was also somewhat greater.

Although they thought that as the Holy Son, Ye Liuyun's cultivation was a bit low, and he also brought a strange pet, not seeming like someone going to war.

But he alone wouldn't have much influence!

They thought the barbarians were merely a small unit harassing them. After all, for a large-scale invasion, the border wouldn't only request reinforcement of this few people.

Moreover, a large-scale invasion might not happen even once in a hundred years. Both sides' forces have long been fixed; without special circumstances, such a large-scale invasion is impossible.

Even Ye Liuyun thought so.

After Ye Liuyun and his group arrived, the City Defense Leader Xu Ran personally went out of the city to greet them.

Xu Ran knew Song Tao and the others, stepped forward and warmly greeted them. Song Tao also introduced Ye Liuyun and Li Mengxi to Xu Ran.

Upon seeing Ye Liuyun's cultivation level, Xu Ran was momentarily stunned, but then said nothing.

He assumed Ye Liuyun must have become Holy Son through connections; otherwise, how could a Holy Son have the cultivation of True Origin Double?

Someone like him coming to the battlefield would usually just make a round and leave, merely adding some bragging material upon return; they wouldn't take any risks. Moreover, with Ye Liuyun's cultivation so low, it's even less likely he'd accomplish anything.

Thus his attitude toward Ye Liuyun worsened considerably, almost ignoring him.

Ye Liuyun also felt depressed in his heart. 'My cultivation is really a burden!'

However, it's good that I'm about to break through to True Origin Triple. Although it's not much improvement, at least there's progress.

Song Tao naturally noticed Xu Ran's expression and deliberately reminded him seriously, 'Ye Liuyun's abilities are considerable; his strength cannot be measured by cultivation level.'

Xu Ran thought this was just Song Tao saving face for Ye Liuyun, so he merely listened.

At that moment, it so happened that outside the city, a barbarian martial cultivator was issuing a challenge.

On the battlefield, when neither side launches a full assault, their martial cultivators often challenge each other.

Especially some young people use this way to compare strength. Generally, older martial cultivators with high cultivation do not participate in this game, and no one would disregard the rules to gang up on an opponent.

However, the Golden Armor Guard are all young men; hearing of a challenge, they all became interested. They had been sitting on the warship for several days, feeling stifled to the point of being unable to bear it.

Xu Ran also wanted to see their strength, so he directly brought everyone outside the city to let them stretch their limbs.

Outside the city, more than twenty barbarian martial cultivators were shouting noisily. Seeing them come out in such numbers, they were not afraid but instead became excited.

Their cultivation levels ranged from Body Refining Ninth Layer to True Origin Quadruple. Seeing their high cultivation, a few Body Refiners and True Origin First Level barbarian martial cultivators immediately ran back to summon people, seeking opponents of higher cultivation.

The barbarian side also sent out a True Origin Double martial cultivator to issue a challenge.

However, the Golden Armor Guard members who came this time were all at least second-rank Golden Armor Guard with cultivation of True Origin Triple or Quadruple, so they all disdained to act against this martial cultivator.

In the end, after everyone looked, only Ye Liuyun had the cultivation of True Origin Double.

Thus everyone turned their gaze to him. Especially Xu Ran's eyes carried a hint of contempt. Seeing Ye Liuyun not move, he thought to himself, 'This Holy Son won't even dare to fight a barbarian of True Origin Double, will he?'

This made Ye Liuyun extremely embarrassed. Although he is only True Origin Double, he also doesn't want to bully others!

This was also Li Mengxi's first meeting with Ye Liuyun. She also wanted to witness his strength.

"Junior Brother, go fight a few rounds so Senior Sister can also see your ability!"

"This... he's only True Origin Double, his cultivation is a bit low!" Ye Liuyun hesitated.

Xu Ran almost laughed out loud, 'This Holy Son really doesn't dare to fight.' He then deliberately said, 'As long as you win, you can keep fighting! They will send opponents of higher cultivation. Otherwise, both sides send people of matching cultivation.'

Only Song Tao knew Ye Liuyun's strength, but at this moment he remained silent. He also hoped everyone could see Ye Liuyun's strength, so they would no longer look down on him.

Along the way, he heard the Golden Armor Guard's cold remarks as well. He just didn't expect Ye Liuyun's temper to be so good that he didn't lose his temper.

"Alright then! Since I can keep fighting, I'll go!" Ye Liuyun then stepped onto the center of the battlefield. Since he could keep fighting, this was an excellent training opportunity for him.

His Cutting Heaven Finger and Purple Electric Furious Thunder could both be improved just right.

The opposing barbarian martial cultivator was a burly man. Seeing Ye Liuyun's young age and unimpressive stature, he immediately laughed, 'Still a kid who hasn't even grown all his hair, coming to the battlefield—does your Great Zhou Dynasty have no one left?'

"What's with all the nonsense? If you're not fighting, switch out! Don't waste time." Ye Liuyun spoke.

"Yo, your temper isn't small either! Today I'll make you roll back home!" Saying that, the barbarian big man charged straight at Ye Liuyun.

Before Ye Liuyun let him charge close, he raised a finger, and the big man's chest was pierced with a small hole, blood flowing continuously.

The barbarian martial cultivator hastily covered his chest, looking at Ye Liuyun in terror, then slowly collapsed.

The spectators on both sides were waiting to see Ye Liuyun's joke, but unexpectedly, the one who fell was the barbarian martial cultivator.

The barbarian side howled in uproar and sent another True Origin Double martial cultivator forward.

Meanwhile, the Golden Armor Guard behind Ye Liuyun, Xu Ran, and Li Mengxi were all quite surprised. 'Didn't expect this Holy Son to have some skill!'

However, they weren't overly surprised, after all the opponent was only True Origin Double.

Only Song Tao smiled narrowly. He wanted to see how many levels of True Origin Ye Liuyun could ultimately fight against.

Ye Liuyun, however, shouted at the approaching barbarian martial cultivator, 'Send someone with higher cultivation; you're too weak!'

Saying he was weak in front of so many people, how could he back down?

"What? You little brat spouting wild talk—wait until you beat me, old man, then talk."

Saying that, he raised a battle axe and charged at Ye Liuyun.

Ye Liuyun likewise pointed a finger, this time directly piercing his brain.

With a thud, the barbarian martial cultivator fell to the ground.

"True Origin Double won't do; send up a True Origin Triple!" someone from the barbarian side shouted.

But the result was the same. Ye Liuyun likewise pointed a finger; before the person even reached him, his brain was pierced and he collapsed.

Then they switched to True Origin Quadruple, and the result was still the same.

At this point, both sides' people finally began to value Ye Liuyun; looking at him, they no longer looked down on him.

After all, someone who can easily kill opponents across two cultivation levels is no ordinary person; as they grow, they will become untouchable in the future.

But Ye Liuyun had no intention of stopping. On one side, he let the barbarians seek higher-level opponents; on the other, he urged them to attack together.

"Look, I'm this strong; if you all come at me together, it's not bullying me! Come on, give it a try—maybe you'll even take me down!" Ye Liuyun shamelessly tempted.

Lei Ming also perched on Ye Liuyun's shoulder, cooperatively waving at those martial cultivators.

That look was utterly ridiculous, infuriating those barbarian Martial Cultivators even more—they were actually made a fool of by a pet beast!

Upon hearing that, people on both sides twitched the corners of their mouths!
