Chapter 3415

Xiao Han felt that Ye Liuyun’s talent was clearly far superior to his own. With talent like that, it would not be an exaggeration to say he was the son of a prince or noble.

However, he was not bored enough to investigate Ye Liuyun’s identity. Since Ye Liuyun did not want to talk about it, Xiao Han would not expose him. He would simply get along with him according to the identity he currently presented.

At the very least, Ye Liuyun had been of help to him. Moreover, judging from Ye Liuyun’s actions, his character was beyond reproach.

Everyone present had just felt that violent bloodline pressure as well, and by now they had all recovered from their shock.

The soldier opposite him also knew that Ye Liuyun had restrained his bloodline pressure so that they could continue fighting. Thus, he once again activated his movement technique, then unleashed both his true essence and the power of heaven and earth, bringing his full strength to bear.

Ye Liuyun was not afraid of movement techniques either. His Spatial Force was fully on par with the movement techniques of martial cultivators at the same realm. Thus, the two of them appeared and vanished on the platform in turns, dazzling everyone watching.

From time to time, the sound of true essence colliding rang out. As Ye Liuyun fought, he began applying the power of heaven and earth he had just comprehended to his fists and palms, growing stronger with every exchange.

The quality of his divine essence was unexpectedly no worse than the quality of Qi Tianlin’s true essence. As a result, it was not long before Qi Tianlin could no longer hold on.

Ye Liuyun’s punches and palm strikes often carried Spatial Force as well, vanishing in an instant and leaving Qi Tianlin unable to guard against them. He was frequently forced to defend himself in a fluster.

In terms of bloodline, true essence, the power of heaven and earth, movement techniques, and Spatial Force, he was now completely outmatched by Ye Liuyun.

His weapon was originally a spear, but knowing that he could not withstand Ye Liuyun’s sword intention either, he simply had not taken it out at all.

Thus, apart from the power of his divine soul, he no longer had any strength he could bring to bear.

He therefore released his divine soul and tried to charge into Ye Liuyun’s sea of consciousness. However, Ye Liuyun did not let his divine soul enter at all. Afraid that Qi Tianlin would see the Myriad Gods Token inside, he immediately used his Crimson Eyes on Qi Tianlin’s divine soul, trapping him in an illusion, then withdrew his own divine soul back into his sea of consciousness.

Qi Tianlin stood there with a flushed face, knowing that he had been thoroughly defeated. There was not a single aspect of his strength in which he could match Ye Liuyun; he had lost completely across the board.

"He can use illusions too!" Xiao Han was so shocked that he no longer knew what to say. He became even more certain that Ye Liuyun’s origins were anything but simple.

Qi Tianlin thought for a moment and did not attack again. Instead, he took out an ice-blue bead and asked Ye Liuyun, "I lost, and I am thoroughly convinced.

But I am still very curious. This treasure of mine can release the Power of Ice, and it is a fourth-grade Void-rank treasure. If I used it against you, how would you deal with it?"

Ye Liuyun glanced at the bead and felt that he should reveal a little more of his strength to attract the attention of the major figures sooner. Otherwise, climbing upward bit by bit would simply be too slow.

Thus, his golden eyes flashed, and he released the Golden Crow Fire Spirit into the air. The spirit’s intense fiery pressure immediately set the ground around the arena ablaze.

The Golden Crow merely fixed its gaze on Qi Tianlin, forcing him to activate the ice-blue bead to resist. If he did not defend himself against that terrifying firepower at once, he would be burned to ashes immediately.

But Ye Liuyun promptly withdrew the Golden Crow Fire Spirit. A display was enough. If he actually burned Qi Tianlin’s treasure to destruction, he would truly offend him!

"I am impressed! I am impressed! Thank you for showing mercy!"

Qi Tianlin also knew that Ye Liuyun had been holding back, and he repeatedly thanked him.

He had already pushed the treasure to its limits, yet it still could not block the power of the flames. His skin was already beginning to feel the searing pain. If the burning continued, his treasure would be destroyed!

"That kid! He actually has such methods too. I really underestimated him!" Xiao Han was completely dumbstruck.

From the power of that Golden Crow Fire Spirit just now, he felt that it could turn him into flying ash in an instant.

He suddenly realized as well that Ye Liuyun had exposed his trump card at a time when he did not need to risk his life, which probably meant that he intended to display his strength.

"That makes sense. With his strength, he truly would not be willing to remain my subordinate forever!"

But Xiao Han soon saw things differently. Even if he could not take Ye Liuyun on as a subordinate, becoming friends with him would still be a good outcome.

After Ye Liuyun displayed that ability, no one in the entire arena had any objections left.

Qi Tianlin had brought out a treasure, whereas Ye Liuyun’s fiery power was his true strength. With strength like that, all of them together would still not be a match for Ye Liuyun.

This showed that Ye Liuyun had been holding back all along. If they still refused to admit defeat, they would simply be failing to appreciate his kindness.

"There are no weak soldiers under a strong commander! Commander Xiao, you have truly opened our eyes today. We accept this defeat wholeheartedly!" A junior commander also spoke on behalf of the others, expressing his recognition of Xiao Han.

The remaining matter was for Xiao Han to exchange pleasantries with the commanders. Ye Liuyun, meanwhile, returned to his own side’s formation and stood there silently, neither proud nor impatient.

At this moment, Liao Yaotian and Chen Mo were both transmitting their voices to him.

"You brat, you’re something else! You were hiding so many trump cards! Haha, it’ll be much safer following you from now on! With your abilities, dealing with second- or third-level Taixu martial cultivators won’t be a problem anymore!" Liao Yaotian said exaggeratedly.

"I didn’t expect you to be this strong!" Chen Mo said simply, but his tone was also extremely excited. Clearly, he had never imagined that Ye Liuyun would be powerful to this extent.

"They’re just a few minor tricks. My cultivation realm is still too low, after all!" Ye Liuyun could only respond modestly.

However, at that moment, the senior commander in the military camp was also pondering: "A martial cultivator from the lower realm can possess such strength?"

He had already noticed the battle here from the moment Ye Liuyun unleashed his sword intention. This was his military camp, so when such powerful energy erupted, he naturally had to investigate.

He had also witnessed the power of bloodline and fiery power Ye Liuyun unleashed afterward. He was a fourth-level Taixu cultivator and knew that even he could not withstand such power of bloodline and fiery power.

Thus, he immediately summoned the registrar to ask about Ye Liuyun’s origins, only to learn that Ye Liuyun had come from the lower realm.

Although he was somewhat suspicious of Ye Liuyun’s identity, after seeing Ye Liuyun’s power of heaven and earth and Spatial Force, he felt that Ye Liuyun did look like a martial cultivator who had only just arrived in the Taixu World. Otherwise, those two abilities would not be so much weaker than his other abilities.

But regardless of Ye Liuyun’s origins, it was certainly right to make good use of him. Judging from his potential alone, Ye Liuyun’s future achievements would certainly be extraordinary. Establishing ties with him early would surely benefit him.

Thus, he began paying attention to Ye Liuyun and even had the person responsible for recording military merits look into Ye Liuyun’s past achievements.

Only after compiling the records did they discover that although Ye Liuyun had arrived just over two months ago, his performance in the military had already been outstanding. Almost every time he went into battle, he had earned the greatest merit.

The reason Ye Liuyun had not attracted his attention was that they had not fought any major battles, so they had not given Ye Liuyun such a great opportunity.
