At this moment, the Red Star Empire team’s vice-captain, Sun Wen, had just finished his work and came over. He saw Ye Yifan waiting there, and Liu Yan had just come out.

“Captain Liu.” Sun Wen smiled and greeted.

Liu Yan nodded slightly. He still had things to do, so he left without saying anything.

Sun Wen looked at Liu Yan’s back and asked Ye Yifan, “Why did you take the initiative to contact Liu Yan? It’s not like you. You should be full of hostility towards him.”

“Who’s taking the initiative to contact him?” Ye Yifan immediately said with some dissatisfaction, “He was the one who looked for me and asked me to bring him to the earth attribute core. He also asked me to arrange for someone to guard his door so he wouldn’t be disturbed. After all, we are now his prisoners of war. With the Will of Tower restricting us, I have no choice but to listen to his orders.

After Sun Wen found out about the actual situation, he smiled and said, “Ye Yifan, I didn’t expect that there would be a day when someone would be able to order you around.”

Ye Yifan didn’t say anything, but he was a little pissed. He was aggrieved.

When Sun Wen saw Ye Yifan’s expression, he couldn’t help but find it funny.

Sun Wen had never seen Ye Yifan suffer at the hands of anyone before, but this time, he saw it. He was at the hands of Liu Yan, who he had never met before.

However, Sun Wen was also clear about the restrictions of the Will of Tower. He could only listen to Liu Yan’s orders. Otherwise, if he incurred the punishment of the Will of Tower, the consequences would be extremely severe.

“It’s just a matter of one or two days. After Liu Yan fuses with the Lord’s token and the Land of Origin team reaches the sixth floor of the tower, we’ll return to the lower floors of the tower.” Ye Yifan waved his hand and consoled.

Sun Wen asked in confusion, “By the way, why did Liu Yan ask you to bring him to the earth attribute core? Is there something wrong?”

“How would I know? He didn’t let me in. He just let me guard the door outside.” Ye Yifan said, pouting.

When Sun Wen heard this, he could not help but enter the secret room curiously to take a look.

In the secret room, the earth attribute core was still there, but it seemed to be a little brighter.

Sun Wen’s profession was related to the earth attribute, so he was more sensitive to it.

Sun Wen could immediately sense that the power within the earth attribute core seemed to have become much more active.

It usually happened when someone resonated with the earth attribute core and gained enlightenment. It would also cause the earth attribute core to become more active.

Sun Wen then looked at the ground beside him and saw some broken rocks.

Sun Wen sensed the earth attribute energy within and immediately realized that the rocks were formed when the earth element had reached a high density.

Sun Wen was not able to achieve such a level of concentration.

Combining this with the changes in the earth attribute core, Sun Wen immediately guessed that someone had used the earth attribute core to comprehend Earth Secret Art!

Sun Wen had already mastered Earth Talent. His mastery of Earth Talent was not bad. The other party’s attainment in the earth attribute was above his, so it was obviously the Earth Secret Art.

Sun Wen was a little surprised. Liu Yan had successfully comprehended Earth Secret Art through the earth attribute core.

Sun Wen did not know about Liu Yan’s other abilities, but Liu Yan’s mastery of Earth Secret Art alone was already extremely powerful. He would already be a top expert on the fifth floor of the tower.

In other words, Liu Yan’s strength was already terrifying just by mastering Earth Secret Art. Not to mention that Liu Yan seemed to have other abilities.

It took a lot of time to learn a secret art. It also depended on one’s talent and luck. This was why Sun Wei was confused.

Even if Sun Wei had a treasure like the earth attribute core, it would still take a long time for him to comprehend the Earth Secret Art.

Sun Wen couldn’t help but look at Ye Yifan in confusion and asked, “How long did the team captain of the Land of Origin team, Liu Yan, stay in this secret chamber?”

When Ye Yifan heard this, he thought for a moment and replied indifferently, “It hasn’t been that long, less than half an hour. I don’t know what he’s doing here.”

“Half an hour? How is that possible?” Sun Wen exclaimed.

Ye Yifan looked at Sun Wen in confusion. “Yeah, just half an hour. Is there a problem?”

“Are you sure?” Sun Wen still looked at Ye Yifan in disbelief.

“I’m sure.” Ye Yifan nodded.

Sun Wen suddenly felt that his mind was in a daze.

Even if his grasp of Earth Talent was very proficient, he was already very close to learning Earth Secret Art.

It was difficult to cross the threshold of Earth Talent and enter Earth Secret Art.

This final step was something countless awakened ones would never be able to take in their lifetimes.

One would usually need at least three days to comprehend Earth Secret Art, even if one had talent, opportunity, and a treasure like the earth attribute core.

One was already a powerful genius to comprehend it in three days.

However, how did Liu Yan comprehend it in half an hour?

It was impossible for him to do it quickly no matter how good his innate talent and opportunities were. It also had nothing to do with his comprehension of Earth Secret Art and how close he was to Earth Secret Art.

“How, how is this possible? How did he do it?” Sun Wen mumbled to himself as he stood rooted to the ground. His face was filled with confusion and disbelief.

Ye Yifan was a little confused seeing Sun Wen’s reaction.

As the vice-captain of the Red Star Empire team, Sun Wen was also the military officer of the Red Star Empire team. He was intelligent and good at strategizing. He had always been relatively calm.

How did Sun Wen become like this?

At this moment, Ye Yifan finally realized that something was wrong. Otherwise, Sun Wen wouldn’t be in such a state.

“Sun Wen, what happened? What happened to Liu Yan just now?” Ye Yifan couldn’t help but ask.

Sun Wen looked at Ye Yifan with a strange expression and said, “In just half an hour, Liu Yan successfully advanced from Earth Talent to Earth Secret Art.”

“What? How, how is this possible!”

Ye Yifan, who had been calm just a moment ago, was also shocked.

Ye Yifan also had Earth Talent. When he was free, he would use the earth attribute core to comprehend. He even sacrificed his rest time.

Ye Yifan’s talent in the earth element was not bad. However, his progress was still slow even though he worked really hard. If he wanted to enter the level of Earth Secret Art successfully, it would need a long time.

Because of this experience, Ye Yifan knew the difficulty of advancing from Earth Talent to Earth Secret Art. It required talent, luck, opportunity, treasures, and a lot of time to comprehend a secret art. It was a challenging thing to achieve.

Ye Yifan immediately felt that it was impossible.

“Impossible. There is no one who could advance from Earth Talent to Earth Secret Art in half an hour. no matter how talented he is, it’s impossible.” Ye Yifan muttered in disbelief.
