Chapter 854: Practical Combat Training

This formation was all discussed by them beforehand, and can be taken out and used directly.

But Wei Pangzi still asked anxiously, "With so many people, can we defeat them?"

His voice even trembled as he spoke.

Opposite them were over a thousand elite disciples selected through the trials.

Ye Liuyun didn't waste words, and directly ordered the others, "When you strike, don't hesitate; treat them as real enemies! Kill!"

Having said that, he swung his blade, cleaving a charging disciple first, then rushed forward.

As his blade split a disciple, the scent of blood spread, spurring the few behind him to also strike without hesitation.

Yuan Datou immediately revealed his true form, brandishing a massive iron staff and sweeping across.

The three behind followed at once. Su Manning used seductive techniques to aid Ye Liuyun and Yuan Datou.

Liang Xinyu and Wei Pangzi stayed behind Ye Liuyun and Yuan Datou, focusing on flank defense; the pressure on the two of them was far lighter than on Ye Liuyun and Yuan Datou.

Although Ye Liuyun's realm was low, with blade intent and Heaven and Earth Power, his true combat strength was comparable to a Martial Cultivator of the Zao Hua Realm.

Thus, for those Martial Cultivators of the Yin-Yang Realm, he still held a great advantage.

Moreover, his strikes were ruthless, each blade lethal and merciless, so he quickly carved a bloody path.

Yuan Datou was the same, caring not for the disciples' lives, sweeping through.

Li Qingyun on the arena lifted the corners of his mouth, unable to hide a smile.

Ye Liuyun and Yuan Datou, after a few exchanges, had more than twenty disciples dead at their hands.

Seeing Ye Liuyun and Yuan Datou truly go all out, the disciples each became timid, daring not to charge.

This caused their advance to be swift; in no time they surged back onto the arena.

Li Qingyun nodded in satisfaction at them, then berated the crowd below, "A bunch of trash, a thousand can't stop five!"

Then he sent Ye Liuyun and the others down to stand with the disciples, and loudly addressed everyone, "Cultivating the martial path is inherently brutal. To stand out, one must have the courage to fight to the death.

In Qian Long Academy, you will face such deadly battles every day. This is just an early adaptation."

Li Qingyun paused, then with a wicked grin said, "Given your poor performance, this afternoon's training will be extended twice!"

"Ah!" the crowd below erupted in complaints!

"What does training extension mean?" Ye Liuyun asked a slightly quieter disciple beside him.

"Training is sparring. Every afternoon we spar for two hours. Today it's four hours! My injury from yesterday hasn't healed!" the disciple complained, "At this rate, who can endure it?"

Ye Liuyun and the others were startled by this.

"Sparring for two hours, even my True Essence couldn't last that long!" Ye Liuyun thought to himself.

If the fighting continued nonstop for those two hours, his True Essence would likely be insufficient.

Another disciple interjected, "Who made us unlucky enough to get Li the lunatic? Among all the instructors, his students have the highest death rate!"

"Yeah! We have already lost a third of us!" another disciple said, dejected.

"All shut your mouths. Every one of you is trash, what right do you have to speak! If I hear another word, I'll make you step onto the stage to spar."

Li Qingyun's shouting rose again from the stage.

The trainees below immediately sealed their mouths tightly, daring not to speak.

Li Qingyun nodded with satisfaction and began to impart cultivation experience.

"In the last half month, I'll teach you things beyond the basics. Today we'll start with spatial power and its application. Your spatial power is downright terrible…"

Li Qingyun spoke at length, but few could listen seriously; many were busy cultivating or healing.

Only Ye Liuyun listened with keen interest.

After Li Qingyun finished, Ye Liuyun kept asking questions, filling the gaps in his understanding of spatial power.

"Master, it's said Martial Cultivators can draw on the power of the Space World for combat. How is it invoked?" Ye Liuyun's Space World had long been formed, but he hadn't been able to use it.

Li Qingyun glanced sideways at Ye Liuyun and beckoned, "Come on, come on, step onto the stage!"

Everyone looked at Ye Liuyun with sympathetic eyes.

Ye Liuyun, however, was fearless and went straight onto the stage. He thought his normal question wouldn't incur the master's displeasure.

"You little brats, none of you can even cultivate a Space World, yet you still ask how to use its power?"

Li Qingyun thought Ye Liuyun hadn't cultivated a Space World either.

At Ye Liuyun's realm, even if he formed a Space World, it would at most be built upon a third‑ or fourth‑level void foundation, fundamentally unstable and not truly a Space World.

"I've already cultivated a Space World!" Ye Liuyun declared.

"Nonsense. What you cultivated isn't a Space World; at most it's a small space!" Li Qingyun retorted, very displeased.

"I built my Space World upon the eighth‑level void; how can it be just a small space?" Ye Liuyun asked, puzzled.

"You little brats… what? Eighth‑level void?" Li Qingyun was saying when he realized Ye Liuyun referred to the eighth‑level void.

He stared at Ye Liuyun blankly, then laughed, "You can build a Space World in the eighth‑level void? I think you don't even know what the eighth‑level void is."

"Master, if you don't believe, you can see for yourself!" Ye Liuyun suggested. He also knew the argument was pointless.

"Fine! If not, I'll smash it with a punch!" Li Qingyun, doubting Ye Liuyun's Space World, still spoke forcefully.

Ye Liuyun didn't waste words and directly shifted him into his own Space World.

"I go, you kid can! That's really an eighth‑level Space World!" Li Qingyun exclaimed sincerely after entering.

Ye Liuyun's use of spatial power was actually no worse than his; he only lacked some systematic theory.

Ye Liuyun used Divine Sense to form his own phantom, taking Li Qingyun on a tour around the Space World.

"Kid, do you know a saying?" Li Qingyun reminded Ye Liuyun, "A tree that stands out in the forest will be crushed by the wind!"

"Master means…" Ye Liuyun was a bit confused.

"Even while learning, you must hold back. You've exposed your strength!" Li Qingyun sighed.

"But if I don't reveal it, you wouldn't believe me!" Ye Liuyun replied, a bit helpless.

He actually still really wants to hide his strength.
