However, after glancing at Hui Fen who was still fighting and his own master,
Shi Sheng still nodded.
Since he couldnât help Ye Liuyun on the frontal battlefield, he would just help in other ways.
First, take all the money from Yunkong Temple.
"Wait for me!"
Noticing this scene, Qu Yinghua immediately followed after thinking of something.
"What are you planning to do?"
Si Nan looked vigilant.
This guy, isnât he trying to come and share the money on purpose?
"I just happen to be looking for my Xiaohonghong."
"Xiaohonghong?"
"Thatâs my spear!"
"..."
Although some people like to name their weapons, isnât a name like Xiaohonghong a bit too childish?
After all, itâs still a medium-grade Spiritual Artifact.
Qu Yinghuaâs father spent a lot of effort to get such a spear.
And Qu Yinghua loved it at first sight, couldnât let go of it, and even hugged his weapon to sleep every night during that period, as if only this way.
Could bring some warmth to the cold night.
"Alright then!"
Though feeling speechless,
seeing Qu Yinghuaâs full-hearted focus on his weapon, Si Nan didnât refuse.
He nodded and motioned for the other to follow.
As for Si Nan and the others leaving,
Shu Fan, who was also present, didnât even spare them an extra glance.
He kept watching the battle between Ye Liuyun and Hui Fen, though his attention was mainly on Hui Fen.
"If itâs him, then..."
Not knowing what he was thinking, Shu Fan didnât continue talking.
The person behind Southern Governor Qi Yuanliang, Shu Fan knew little about, having only seen the otherâs back once. Mostly, he learned about him through his master.
But just that back view alone,
gave Shu Fan the impression of a towering mountain, impossible for mere mortals to cross.
Grandmaster?
No, that feeling was far beyond that of a Grandmaster, it must be above that level.
Given Ye Liuyunâs displayed talent,
it wouldnât surprise Shu Fan if he could break through to the Grandmaster Realm.
But if it were to reach the Grandmaster level, that realm requires luck, talent, and all essential traits; itâs not something you can achieve just because you have talent.
In the Fourteen States of the World, there are countless geniuses like fish crossing the river.
Even if you are one in a million, when scaled up, itâs not such a rare occurrence.
But still, only a handful of people can break through to the Grandmaster Realm.
Why? Simply because the realm is extremely hard to surpass.
Thinking of this,
Shu Fan slightly lowered his eyes, pondering over something.
...
"Your combat experience is really lousy!"
Over on Ye Liuyunâs side,
after exchanging blows with Hui Fen for a while, he had already seen many problems.
In terms of cultivation, due to the Demon Skill, Hui Fen indeed reached the Innate Perfection level.
But combat experience is not something you can improve behind closed doors in cultivation.
Itâs clear Hui Fen probably hasnât fought much with others, his combat experience is seriously lacking, only knowing to push with his inner strength, with practically no skills.
Ye Liuyunâs Phantom Ninefold Body was perfected.
The nine phantoms constantly flashed around Hui Fen, irritating him to no end.
"So what, as long as my cultivation improves, combat experience is not important at all!"
Hui Fenâs face was full of disdain.
Combat experience is something you gain after several fights, only cultivation is the most practical.
"Is that so?"
Suddenly, a phantom appeared behind Hui Fen.
At the same time, Ye Liuyunâs real body appeared in front of Hui Fen.
Without much thought, Hui Fen directly slapped towards Ye Liuyun in front of him.
"Boom!"
With a slap, Ye Liuyun in front of him dissipated like a bursting bubble.
By the time Hui Fen realized it,
the phantom behind him had transformed into Ye Liuyunâs real body.
"Overlord Saber Slash!"
"Bang!"
Even with the protection of special inner strength, this strike still sent Hui Fen flying.
The inner strength shield was shattered, leaving a long blood trace on his body.
"Even if both are Innate Perfection, there are still levels of difference!"
Just speaking of the inner strength waves, this temporarily explosive Hui Fen was actually on par with Ye Liuyun, but unfortunately, his combat experience was lacking.
Moreover, Ye Liuyun had a wide array of cultivation techniques, which even if they couldnât directly enhance his inner strength, expanded his combat options, overwhelming opponents.
In battles of the same cultivation level,
Ye Liuyun was not flustered at all.
"Puff!"
Spitting out a mouthful of blood,
Hui Fen got back up with an unwilling expression, while his injuries slowly recovered under the nourishment of the special inner strength.
But at the same time, Hui Fenâs face turned much paler.
It seems any power comes at a cost.
"How could this be!"
Hui Fen appeared unable to believe his own failure.
He kept mumbling to himself.
"It shouldnât be like this, it shouldnât be like this. I have destiny on my side, even Heaven is helping me, I canât possibly fail!"
If it werenât for destiny,
why would he suddenly obtain techniques like Gathering Shadows Condensing Spirit?
Everything was predestined, prophesied that he would transcend above all others, destined to become a renowned existence, how could he possibly lose here.
"Destiny?"
Ye Liuyun suddenly laughed.
You really donât have such destiny at all.
"Maybe, destiny was never on you, perhaps your existence is to highlight my excellence, and I am the one truly favored by destiny, who knows!"
After all, I genuinely have the talent of being the child of destiny.
