Chapter 91: Three Slots

Ye Liuyun's subsequent training remained step by step, unaffected by Wei Zhen's breakthrough, so he did not feel anxious.

Over these three days, he first refined his body once, then spent most of the time familiarizing himself with the control and use of True Fire.

He blended True Fire into the Violet Lightning Furious Thunder and Soaring Void Finger. Thus his fist and finger power not only had lightning force but also fire force, making their lethality greater!

Moreover, electricity and fire are compatible attributes and can combine well together.

Now a single finger or punch from him can inflict damage on an enemy comparable to that of a Scorching Sun Bow. But Ye Liuyun is not satisfied with this.

The Violet Lightning Furious Thunder Fist practiced to this effect is acceptable, but for the Soaring Void Finger this effect is too poor.

He wanted to concentrate these True Essence further, for strength divided weakens. The effect he desired was simply to pierce a hole directly; otherwise the result would not differ much from ordinary fist techniques, and the damage area would even be less than that of Violet Lightning Furious Thunder.

Thus he condensed True Essence again and again, focusing it into a single point for attack; after multiple attempts he finally achieved a satisfactory effect.

He also did not neglect the cultivation of his Soul. In refining the Soul Sword he also added True Fire. Now when the Soul Sword is unleashed, Ye Liuyun is confident he can kill a True Essence Ninth Layer expert.

As for the Sea Transformation Realm, he still does not know how powerful the Soul of someone at that realm is. But he estimates that influencing the opponent's actions should still be possible. However this move has already become his Trump Card, which he will not use lightly.

Besides the Violet Lightning Prison, the Illusion Eye Technique also gave him a Violet Lightning Whip; currently the Violet Lightning has not yet been infused with True Fire power. But binding an opponent with the prison and then whipping them with the whip has already accelerated the torment speed of the enemy's Soul.

Originally it took three breaths to exhaust an opponent's Soul to the point of being unable to fight; now only one breath is needed. Of course this is only as seen externally; in the Soul's world, several hours have already passed.

However, each time Ye Liuyun tried to infuse True Fire power into the Illusion Eye Technique, he felt his eyes could not bear it, so he now dare not exert too much force, merely hoping that after the Immortal Overlord Body breaks through to the fifth layer, his eyes' tolerance will improve.

Ye Liuyun trained until Wei Zhen's congratulatory banquet began, then he rushed over.

He did not want to go too early and sit idly, but going too late would also be bad, so he timed his arrival precisely.

Upon entering the Grand Hall, everyone had basically gathered.

"Greetings, Prince! Congratulations, Senior Brother Wei!" Ye Liuyun stepped forward, paid his respects to the Prince, then congratulated Wei Zhen on his breakthrough.

The Heavenly Fortune King and Wei Zhen also politely greeted him and asked him to sit.

Ye Liuyun sized up Wei Zhen; his aura was indeed True Essence Ninth Layer. The True Essence of this realm is almost twice as strong as that of True Essence Eighth Layer.

However, his Divine Sense also keenly felt that the True Essence fluctuations on Wei Zhen's body were highly unstable, alternating between strong and weak.

"It seems he really relied on pills to boost himself!"

Nevertheless he did not therefore look down on Wei Zhen's strength. Although his realm is unstable, his True Essence is indeed that of the Ninth Layer, and Wei Zhen can still challenge above his rank.

Now throughout the Royal Mansion, probably no one except the Prince can suppress him. Moreover Ye Liuyun this time also sensed his Bloodline Power. Perhaps before his own bloodline was not strong enough, or Wei Zhen's bloodline was not strong enough, so he had not felt it.

"It seems this Bloodline Pill still helps him greatly!" Ye Liuyun thought to himself.

However, Wei Zhen's bloodline awakening is obviously not as high as his. He estimates it at most less than one-tenth. "It seems Wei Zhen also has great potential to develop!"

Throughout the congratulatory banquet, the Prince and Wei Zhen were the center of attention, attracting everyone's gaze. Countless praises and various honors poured toward them.

The Prince was naturally very pleased. His disciple had succeeded, and he too felt elated. He had placed all his hopes on Wei Zhen.

Meanwhile the other few disciples merely served as foil, setting off his protagonist aura.

Song Yi, Li Yuanqing, and Li Mengxi's faces looked somewhat unnatural. However Ye Liuyun did not care; he ate and drank as he should. This banquet was originally arranged for Wei Zhen, so he naturally should be the main character.

While others were busy networking, he kept his head down and ate heartily. Only when someone came over to toast him would he rise and go through the motions.

After the banquet ended, only the Prince and five Holy Sons remained in the Grand Hall, even the hall guards had disappeared.

Ye Liuyun realized the Prince might have something to say to them.

The Heavenly Fortune King then directly got to the point: "I have three slots for entering the Northern Branch of the Holy Martial Academy in my hand. Although it is only a branch, it is far stronger than my Prince's Mansion. There is still half a month until the entrance examination. In five days you five will hold a contest to compete for these three slots."

Upon these words, Li Yuanqing's face was the worst. Among them his strength is the weakest.

Although Ye Liuyun's realm is low, his combat power is great. He could not defeat Song Yi or Li Mengxi, let alone Wei Zhen.

Li Mengxi's face was also not much better than Li Yuanqing's. However she was not completely without a chance.

In fact the Prince never considered these people's feelings; this world is one where the strong are respected. If one's own strength is lacking, one cannot blame others' biased views.

He simply wanted to see just how strong these people's abilities really were, so before going to the Holy Martial Academy he could have a clear idea in his mind.

As for other matters, he did not need to consider them so much. He only knew that Wei Zhen would surely win a slot.

Wei Zhen also immediately declared confidently: "Prince, rest assured, I will certainly fulfill your wish and enter the Holy Martial Academy!"

The Prince also smiled and nodded. "Of course I am at ease with you! You are the most talented disciple I have seen in many years! Believe that after entering the Holy Martial Academy you will be able to blossom."

Then he further instructed them: "At the contest five days from now, you must all give your utmost; before setting out, let me see your strength! You should also prepare these few days, for after going to the Holy Martial Academy you will not return for a short time."

"Yes!" several replied in unison, and together they left the Grand Hall.

Wei Zhen, however, said to them: "I very much look forward to fighting you all, to see if you can break through my Protective True Origin."

Speaking, his entire body's True Essence surged, a layer of True Essence enveloping his whole body. Moreover, after using his Bloodline Power, that layer of True Essence was like black armor, enveloping him.

With this layer of Protective True Origin, it would be hard for anyone to injure him.

Ye Liuyun had not expected that True Essence could be used this way. He himself possesses the Immortal Overlord Body Technique, and now he has also obtained a treasure garment for defense, never having considered using True Essence to protect the body.

At this moment he recalled that on the battlefield indeed someone had used True Essence to protect the body. He had been busy fighting then, had not examined it closely, and had thought it was due to their cultivation methods.

Only now did he know that True Essence could also be used this way!

Song Yi, Li Mengxi, and Li Yuanqing's expressions became even uglier.

Wei Zhen smiled, then immediately departed, leaving several people staring at each other.
