In Ye Chen's mind, the sensation of that moment when the Sword Qi erupted kept reappearing.

He once entered the state of Lingwu Fusion using the mysterious warm current flowing within his body.

However, that time, although he achieved Lingwu Fusion, it was done through trickery. Now, his bloodline's origin has become dormant, making it impossible to achieve Lingwu Fusion in that way again.

But at that time, he hadn't condensed a Spirit Seal. Even though he remembered the feeling of Lingwu Fusion, he couldn't find any direction.

As Ye Chen condensed the Extreme Celestial Spirit Seal, he intended to begin cultivating Lingwu Fusion. However, his teacher Yang Tianji went to Lingyun Mountain, and his senior brother Yuan Polu and senior sister Liu Meng'er didn't understand the true method of Lingwu Fusion.

So, this matter had been delayed all along.

Now.

He finally felt the true aura of Lingwu Fusion. It is not merely the simple overlay of Spiritual Power, Primordial Power, and Qi Blood. The three forces have a special arrangement, and the power that erupts after their perfect fusion is essentially many times stronger than Spiritual Power, Qi Blood, and Primordial Power.

Ye Chen was seriously injured and had expended a lot of energy.

Yet at this moment, he couldn't help but try Lingwu Fusion.

He longed for Lingwu Fusion immensely.

Now, Lingwu Fusion was right before him.

Like a greedy person seeing a Jin Mountain, how could he not be tempted?

In the distance.

Liu Mubai slightly frowned and muttered to himself, "This brat dares to attempt Lingwu Fusion in such a state... he's too bold!"

......

Feng Tianyou and Huang Qinglan flew back near Ye Chen.

Both of their bodies were already bloodied and battered, and the lingering fear in their hearts couldn't be suppressed now.

Who would have thought...

No one secretly protected Ye Chen, yet Ye Chen had such a terrifying Sword Qi hidden in him.

A Mortal Transformation Realm expert, a Tier Six Spirit Master, under that Sword Qi, didn't even have a chance to survive...

Feng Tianyou gritted his teeth.

The two who just died were Elders of their Spirit Ruins Sect!

Even though Feng Tianyou was a descendant of the Sect Leader of Spirit Ruins Sect, he brought two Elders out but couldn't take them back. It's a big problem, and he would surely face an impeachment from others in the sect. No matter how many excuses or reasons, the outcome of severe punishment couldn't be avoided.

"That Sword Qi just now, it seems to be the true Lingwu Fusion. I really didn't expect Yang Tianji to dare to seal a primordial Sword Qi in your body!"

Feng Tianyou clenched his fist and said, "Even if your physical body is strong, it's impossible to withstand two primordial Sword Qis from Yang Tianji. So now, all your cards must be completely exhausted!"

"You killed our Spirit Ruins Sect's two Elders. I have to bring your corpse back to the Spirit Ruins Sect for an explanation!"

"So, it's Spirit Ruins Sect." Luo Tian stepped forward.

He could see that Ye Chen seemed to have entered a state of enlightenment. The state of enlightenment is extremely rare. If interrupted, it is unknown when you could enter it again.

This thing relies on luck.

"So what if you know, anyway, you both have to die!" Feng Tianyou shouted loudly.

Huang Qinglan said, "Brother Feng, leave Luo Tian to you; I'll handle Ye Chen!"

Luo Tian held his heavy sword with both hands, his thick eyebrows slightly furrowed, but his expression was extremely resolute. He was ready for battle, prepared to take on two at once!

Even if he couldn't win, he had to fight!

There was nothing to fear!

At this moment.

Ye Chen's voice rang out.

"Brother Luo, let me handle it."

Ye Chen, wielding his sword, walked to Luo Tian's side.

"Are you still okay?" Luo Tian couldn't help but ask.

Ye Chen seriously nodded and said, "After killing the two of them, I probably won't be okay. Just in case, save some strength to carry me while running away."

"Like last time?"

Luo Tian couldn't help but recall the scene from the new students' trial, where he had to carry Ye Chen and run away.

Ye Chen agreed with a hum.

Luo Tian said, "Alright, you kill the two of them, and I'll be responsible for helping you escape."

Feng Tianyou and Huang Qinglan were once again infuriated.

Ye Chen had already turned into such a state, highly likely without any cards up his sleeve, yet he dared to chat nonchalantly with Luo Tian about killing them.

Huang Qinglan formed a Double-Hand Seal.

The Spirit Seal projection flew out, with six characteristics of spiritual patterns manifesting, condensing into the shape of a long spear.

This is also a type of spiritual technique.

But Huang Qinglan hadn't yet mastered it skillfully.

Compared to Meng Changtian, the deputy dean in charge of the Star Spirit System at Cangxing Martial Arts Academy, Huang Qinglan's spiritual techniques were several levels inferior.

Meng Changtian's Flying Fire Divine Bird Spiritual Technique is a perfect fusion of the spiritual pattern's characteristics, inseparable.

But the long spear condensed by Huang Qinglan, the characteristics of the six spiritual patterns remained distinct, simply stacked together.

The five Spirit Seal projections of Feng Tianyou also fused together, then transformed into the shape of a Heaven-piercing Halberd, which Feng Tianyou grasped in his hand.

That Heaven-piercing Halberd emitted an extremely powerful wave of force, and moreover, Feng Tianyou's Martial Dao cultivation was not weak — he was already a Primordial Embryo Realm Martial Artist!

"Close Combat Spirit Master?"

Ye Chen sneered. Most Spirit Masters specialize in long-range attacks, but some Spirit Masters take an unconventional path. Ye Chen encountered a Close Combat Spirit Master for the first time.

The characteristics of a Close Combat Spirit Master's spiritual patterns either have a strong amplification effect on oneself or, like Feng Tianyou, transform the Spirit Seal Power into close-combat weapons through special spiritual techniques.

A Close Combat Spirit Master also demands high standards for one's Martial Dao cultivation; after all, without proficiency in Martial Dao, a Spirit Master's close combat is a joke!

It could be said that a Close Combat Spirit Master is, to some extent, a form of Lingwu Fusion, combining the power of a Spirit Master and a Martial Artist.

Like Huang Qinglan, she's probably trying to follow the path of a Close Combat Spirit Master too. After all, Huang Qinglan's spiritual technique has turned her Spirit Seal Power into a long spear, but evidently, she still couldn't use it as a real close-combat weapon like Feng Tianyou.

She hasn't been an Earth Seal Spirit Master for long, her rise was rapid, and her foundation lacked in many aspects to become a Close Combat Spirit Master!

"Ye Chen, you haven't mistaken; I am a Close Combat Spirit Master!" Feng Tianyou shouted coldly, "Today, I'll let you understand the power of a Close Combat Spirit Master!"

"Brother Feng, I'll engage from afar!" Huang Qinglan shouted softly.

"Alright!"

The next moment, Huang Qinglan struck with Double-Hand Seals.

The long spear, formed by her Spirit Seal projection, exploded towards Ye Chen.

Ye Chen gathered the remaining strength and unleashed a Golden Extreme Sky-breaking Sword strike.

"Boom!"

Huang Qinglan's long spear exploded violently.

Among the shattered pieces of the long spear, the six characteristics of the spiritual patterns erupted separately.

Wind Blades sliced, fireballs fell, ice arrows shot...

Beneath Ye Chen's feet, the Sword Intent of wind and raindrops manifested. He performed the Wind and Cloud Transformation Body Technique of the Wind and Cloud Sword to dodge Huang Qinglan's attacks one after another.

Now, his strength was already limited, so conserving as much energy as possible was essential, hence he refrained from using the Heaven-Ascending Step.

Once Ye Chen evaded a round of Huang Qinglan's attacks.

Feng Tianyou, who followed the path of a Close Combat Spirit Master, wielded the Heaven-piercing Halberd and charged towards Ye Chen's side. The Heaven-piercing Halberd seemed to carry the force of a rolling wide ocean wave.

"Die!"

Feng Tianyou shouted violently, and the Heaven-piercing Halberd slashed towards Ye Chen.

"Die!"

Likewise, Ye Chen shouted violently, as Spiritual Power, Sword Essence, and Qi Blood Power simultaneously poured into the Celestial Mark Sword, and he slashed diagonally upwards with one strike!
