229: balance!

The two sides met face-to-face.

There was no communication whatsoever; they simply fought!

The first wave was a direct charge.

Both sides wanted to crush the other immediately.

Except for Ye Su.

Boom— His blood Qi exploded.

His Aura field began to sense the surroundings.

Huh.

The opponent had one Wang Clan Outpost Leader, a humanoid at Ascension Level Two.

The remaining creatures, which looked like giant snowmen, were all at Ascension One.

No wonder the letter from the future told me to hold back.

It turns out that by promoting to Ascension Level Two, I would break the balance.

Now.

This is perfect!

However, the opponent had quite a few at Ascension One.

There were over 20 of them.

Is this the potential of a rare Mutated Planet?

Pretty impressive.

“Be careful, they have more people. Don't get surrounded!”

Lu Yiyi said via voice transmission.

“Wait, doesn't your shuttle have weapons?”

Ye Su suddenly thought of this question.

“Please, if weapons could be used, why wouldn't the party a on the other side just pull out a Star-Destroyer Cannon?”

Lu Yiyi rolled her eyes slightly.

They were party a.

They were here to trade.

They weren't here to raid party b's home!

Before being projected here, all psionic weapons had been dismantled.

It couldn't be helped; what if someone accidentally pressed a small button?

Even if you were willing to pay compensation, the Wang Clan wouldn't want this to happen.

If subsequent party a stopped their business, it would affect their reproduction.

With 12 Wang Masters, that meant 12 competitors.

No one wanted their reputation to be damaged.

And so.

This led to the current situation.

Ye Su looked back at Cui Hu and the others.

The meaning was clear: don't risk your lives.

Cui Hu and the others nodded, indicating they understood.

In this situation, as long as Ister didn't die, there was basically no threat to the Blue Planet.

So the strategy was very simple: just coast through it.

However, Ye Su had his own little plan.

That was to try and slay one of the opponent's Ascension One experts to see what that Secret Art Lu Yiyi provided was all about.

Boom!!!

While his thoughts were racing.

The two sides collided directly.

Ister naturally faced off against that Wang Clan member.

And Lu Yiyi faced off against the opponent's party a.

The remaining Ice Giant Star silicon-based Ascension One creatures were naturally left to Ye Su and his group.

Swish— The long saber swept across.

Ye Su locked onto one immediately.

This long saber was transformed from a divine weapon, but since he didn't activate its traits, Lu Yiyi and the others would just think it was an ordinary weapon.

The Ice Giant Star lifeform roared.

Its entire body shifted from a Snow King form into a Frozen Snow King form.

Bang!

Holding an ice spike, it slammed violently against Ye Su's long saber.

Feeling the opponent's strength.

Ye Su was indeed somewhat startled.

At Ascension One, the power it displayed exceeded 200 Physique!

Transcendence?

No, it's a talent!

This kind of lifeform was uniquely blessed, with Dual Cultivation in physical and magical paths, and high resistances; its only weakness was its lack of agility.

Therefore, its strength also surpassed the limits of a human at Ascension One.

After all, different races have different load-bearing capacities.

The two separated immediately after the initial contact.

Ye Su clearly sensed a wave of intense cruelty and malice from the Snow King's Aura.

Oh.

After the initial contact, it thinks it can definitely take me down.

He suddenly spun around.

With a level of agility the Snow King couldn't match, his long saber was directly bolstered by the Heavenly Will.

In an instant, his Aura became incredibly fierce.

The Snow King was stunned.

This movement was too agile.

It couldn't keep up at all.

It would have to take this blow head-on.

Since it was taking it head-on.

Then Ye Su wouldn't be polite.

Heart Ape Transformation.

Martial Arts True Intent began to bolster him.

A tyrannical Aura like the sea instantly washed over like a bursting dam.

Impact Vigor, a Martial Art that had been fused away, seemed to still be playing a role, suddenly concentrating all of Ye Su's strength.

This strike.

Was his most ferocious and brutal strike!

Screech—

Crack crack— The long saber sliced directly into the hard ice.

It even slid through the hard ice, determined to cut it in two.

The Snow King was enraged.

Turning back with difficulty, it swung a club over.

This swing should at least be enough to force Ye Su back and stop the slash.

However— Whoosh.

He exhaled like a Dragon.

The Second Stage of Running Horse began to stack on.

This was a recent realization.

As for whether it could stack, he didn't know yet, so he'd try it first.

After all, the opponent's attack speed was slow; if it really couldn't stack, he'd still have time to take a step back.

However.

When the Second Stage of Running Horse stacked up.

Ye Su had an exceptionally special feeling.

It was as if heaven and earth were becoming one.

But there was no time to experience this feeling in detail before the Overlapping Wave Slash, which had been fused into Running Horse, took effect.

One wave higher than the last.

Layer upon layer stacked.

Its power— Rip!

This Ice Giant Star silicon-based lifeform that resembled a Snow King was sliced clean in two on the spot.

The eyelids of everyone nearby twitched.

Everyone knew Ye Su had failed his ascension; they originally thought that since they were all at Ascension One, their strengths should have caught up.

But looking at this.

Good grief, the gap is only getting wider!

“This kind of lifeform has a life core; you have to shatter it to truly kill it!”

Lu Yiyi's voice boomed in Ye Su's ear.

“Why didn't you say so earlier!”

Ye Su complained.

Then, from within the two halves of the Snow King's body, he saw a black core.

With a flick of his long saber, a strand of Saber Qi flew out and shattered it directly.

After it was shattered.

The Snow King's life force began to plummet.

Meanwhile, Ye Su grabbed the two halves of the body and retreated.

He began to circulate the ‘Heaven Extraction Art’.

The next second.

Strands of Heavenly Will were actually extracted.

And they were icy blue!

This was completely different from the Heavenly Will he currently had stored.

Furthermore.

They were mixing within the Heavenly Will container.

“Impressive.”

Everyone gave Ye Su a thumbs up.

“How much did you extract?”

Lu Yiyi was concerned about how much Heavenly Will had been extracted.

“Just a tiny bit.”

Ye Su directly underreported by 99%!

“Hmm, not bad.” Lu Yiyi's voice clearly carried a hint of joy.

“Don't die. After the battle, trade it to me.”

“I have crystal coins here, or various discounted items from the Martial Arts Hall.”

“OK.”

Ye Su responded.

Then.

He continued the fight.

After slaying one Snow King.

Ye Su was surrounded by several more Snow Kings.

If he fully erupted and stacked his dual Ascension One multipliers, he could still slay them one by one.

But it wasn't worth it.

His dual Ascension One status couldn't be exposed.

So he just kept stalling.

Ten minutes.

An hour.

The battlefield had strangely reached a state of stalemate.

This was very abnormal.

After all, on the Ice Giant Star side, their combat power on paper was clearly a notch higher.

Ister and that Outpost Leader's expressions grew increasingly gloomy.

Damn it!

The natives are slacking off!

party a wouldn't fight to the death, and the natives were slacking off.

The ones who truly decided the battlefield were the two of them.

But they were both Wang Clan members, essentially taught by the same master; they couldn't break the deadlock!

This was how this strange balance was formed.

Ister thought his speed was already very fast, and that Ye Su hadn't realized they were the key.

So, the real problem must be on the other side.

These Silicon-based Lifeforms of the Ice Giant Star were indeed clever; they had even learned to control the balance of the battlefield.

Dammit!

Fighting like this is meaningless!
