28: A white ape delivers a sword!

'I feel like there's a power condensing within my body!'

Ye Su was practically roaring in his heart.

Just a little bit more, just that tiny bit.

What exactly is condensing in my body, and how should I release it?

It's just that little bit!

Suddenly.

Ye Su remembered the skill he used on Grass Leaf Saber Mountain, Overlapping Waves Saber.

One strike after another.

Maintaining a certain momentum.

Thus, like overlapping waves, each strike was stronger than the last.

A similar principle!

The White Ape's tyranny rampaged through his heart.

His blood qi was tainted with this tyrannical Aura, yet it couldn't be pushed out through blood qi eruption methods.

It could only dash about wildly within his body.

This made Ye Su feel as if there was a power in his body that he couldn't vent.

It seemed...

...this was the principle behind Martial Arts Secret Techniques.

Formed by the core of Martial Arts, but requiring blood qi to execute!

'Then let's try it!'

Ye Su had an idea.

Redness surged as the crimson blood qi swept up all the rampaging tyrannical Aura in his body.

Then, he wrapped it around his saber.

And slashed!

Roar!

The crimson blood qi roared.

It actually let out an audible roar.

The tyrannical Aura spread, directly affecting one's state of mind.

His intent flowed.

White Ape Delivers Saber!

The first Secret Technique of the Ape Fist Martial Arts—White Ape Delivers Saber!

A blast rang in Li Mingyuan's ears.

The roar of a savage beast echoed in his ears, nearly scaring his heart into stopping.

His Aura instantly plummeted.

Looking up again.

He saw a crimson wave of energy slashed out by Ye Su.

A great terror of life and death flowed directly into his heart.

The more of a scourge one was, the stronger their desire for survival.

"Swallowing Tiger!"

He shouted suddenly.

The crimson blood qi receded as a white wave of energy swept through.

A phantom of a Mountain Lord was slashed out by him.

The furious tiger roared with majestic power.

Just like that, it collided with Ye Su's crimson wave.

Boom—a massive sound like an explosion erupted.

Fierce winds swirled, making people's clothes rustle loudly.

Dust and stones flew, forcing onlookers to shield themselves.

After this strike.

Both of them stopped, and Li Mingyuan even took a slight step back.

"Impressive, the transition between Martial Arts and skills is handled perfectly!"

Li Mingyuan praised.

He couldn't understand that this was a Secret Technique of Martial Arts; he thought Ye Su was merely chaining skills with his attacks.

Of course, if it really were a transition between Martial Arts and skills, it would indeed deserve such praise.

Ye Su remained silent.

He only grinned.

Tsk tsk...

I really comprehended it.

White Ape Delivers Saber!

This was the name of the Secret Technique decided during that sudden flash of inspiration.

With all the tyrannical Aura in his body expelled, Ye Su felt a sense of clarity throughout his being.

But with a single thought.

The White Ape in his Martial Arts slot rose according to his will, releasing tyrannical Aura once again.

This way, after accumulating for a bit, he could use this Secret Technique again.

So that's how it is.

Martial Arts Secret Techniques are like ultimate moves fueled by rage; they come naturally in the heat of battle.

Moreover, the consumption is very low, completely different from the forced, high-cost ultimate moves of skills.

Ye Su shook his head.

His entire body emitted crackling sounds.

Once the tyrannical Aura was gone, his whole body felt as transparent and refreshed as if he had eaten a Ginseng Fruit.

[Congratulations, Physique +1]

A voice suddenly rang in his mind.

A double blessing.

It must be that the thrill of battle fully activated the medicinal power stored in his body, combined with the rapid circulation of his blood qi.

It pushed his Physique forward a bit more.

Comfortable.

"Li Mingyuan, if you want to be the big brother, you have to show some real ability."

Ye Su said.

All he could say was, he just started feeling good, don't stop!

And what he said made sense; the transition between Martial Arts and skills was indeed a direction to explore.

It just so happened that Li Mingyuan was an excellent sparring partner.

Make the best use of everything!

"Fine!"

Li Mingyuan felt like he was riding a tiger and couldn't get off.

Once a skill was activated, his stamina would drop significantly.

Although Ye Su's physical stats were slightly inferior to his, his Martial Arts made up for it.

Furthermore.

If he couldn't subdue Ye Su today, it would be difficult for him to recruit more Professionals in this nationwide event.

These were all the First Generation.

For the sake of his ambition, Li Mingyuan had to push through, even if he had to grit his teeth.

The battle between the two resumed immediately.

Everyone was already stunned.

Many of them were just ordinary people who had obtained extraordinary power, and their mindsets hadn't shifted yet.

Seeing such a battle all of a sudden...

...they were momentarily at a loss!

But soon, thinking that they could do the same, they began to get excited again.

The battle resumed.

Having obtained the Secret Technique, Ye Su no longer had any intention of just sparring.

He directly and violently circulated the Tai Xuan Scripture, frantically boosting his combat power.

The two clashed once more.

Li Mingyuan felt something was wrong.

The balance between the two sides had been broken.

His proud physical stats were actually unable to stabilize the situation in the fight against Ye Su.

He!

...was retreating!

He was being forced back by Ye Su's overwhelming pressure!

The advantage had already shifted to Ye Su's side.

With the slight increase in Physique and the stamina Li Mingyuan consumed by using skills...

...under these fluctuating circumstances, the balance was directly shattered.

With this retreat.

Ye Su directly pressed his advantage.

Strike after strike, Li Mingyuan could do nothing but parry.

Sweat appeared on Li Mingyuan's forehead.

Dammit.

We both used skills, so why doesn't it feel like your stamina is dropping?

Instead, it feels like your overall power has increased significantly?

He tried to catch Ye Su's gaze.

But in the heat of battle...

...he could only see a trace of coldness.

Suddenly.

He seemed to understand.

Ye Su's previous claim that he would submit if defeated was clearly a joke.

Ye Su's true purpose...

...was...

...to kill him!

He!

How could he dare?

Not only was he a Physique Spirit Medicine Limiter, but he also had a massive power backing him.

If he died here, wouldn't the early investments of those financial groups and factions go to waste?

Ye Su would inevitably invite retaliation from others.

If he were calculating, he wouldn't fail to realize this.

Then...

...what was with that look in his eyes?

"Ye Su, you—"

Enduring the discomfort, Li Mingyuan spoke in a low voice;

"How about we call it a day? Your strength has already earned my recognition!"

Li Mingyuan knew that if they continued, he might actually lose.

So he simply tried to make peace.

"You fight to prove your strength."

Ye Su responded in a low voice;

"But I fight to teach everyone a lesson!"

"What lesson?"

"No surveillance, no signal, no civilization, no Order..."

Ye Su's voice grew even colder;

"Then... everyone should know that wherever I, Ye Su, am;"

"I am the Order!"

Li Mingyuan's mind exploded.

He understood.

He understood what Ye Su wanted.

He had ambitions and didn't hide them; he wanted to be king.

Therefore, he used force to demonstrate all of it.

But Ye Su...

...from the moment he challenged Zhou Ce, what he had been doing was almost the same as him.

Except...

...what he wanted to be was the uncrowned king!

He wanted to use his combat power to suppress everyone present.

Yes!

And...

...and the upcoming mission.

Only if he possessed the true right to speak would he avoid being sabotaged in the next mission.

Dammit.

This guy's mind is far too devious!

Zhou Ce and I are both going to be his stepping stones!

But... I won't let him have his way!
