Cultivating Through The Game-Chapter 568 - 322: Monstrous Level

Ye Qingzhou's expression grew slightly grave. The person before him might not have seemed powerful, yet he was like a stubborn rock; Ye's spiritual power pressure couldn't shake him in the slightest.

"When did the Qingpeng squad gain such a formidable member?" Ye Qingzhou wondered, filled with doubt.

Though his spiritual power pressure failed, it wasn't enough to make him abandon the glory of the Eternal Night Twins. He, too, had broken through to the Core Formation Realm and needed a spiritual object to forge divine soldiers; he'd set his sights on the glory of the Eternal Night Twins.

Unexpectedly, Wei Long had arrived first and reserved it with the elder.

In fact, he could have exchanged it for other spiritual objects; in his heart, the glory of the Eternal Night Twins wasn't necessary—replacement items existed.

However, seeing the opponent as the captain of the Qingpeng squad, Ye Qingzhou chose not to back down, stubbornly overriding the elder's decision and exchanging contribution for the glory of the Eternal Night Twins.

Now facing Lu Yu, he wouldn't relinquish easily either.

Ye Qingzhou's gaze sharpened, rapidly contemplating the situation — Wei Long had become a Core Formation Realm martial cultivator, and the Qingpeng squad's next move would undoubtedly be joining the Celestial tier squad advancement trial.

When a beginner Celestial tier squad rises to become a mid-level Celestial tier squad, the benefits and privileges they can obtain are much greater—many richly rewarded missions prioritize them.

The Qingpeng squad, for the sake of the squad's development and to enhance their own strength, would surely choose to participate in the Celestial tier squad advancement trial.

He glanced at the three present, thinking: "If I injure the three here, it will certainly delay the Qingpeng squad's trial clearance time. Then, the Black Snake can be the first to become a mid-level Celestial tier squad, surpassing Qingpeng."

Step by step, the gap between the Black Snake squad and the Qingpeng squad would widen, and when the time comes, dealing with the Qingpeng squad would be effortless.

Thinking this, Ye Qingzhou's mind was made up; he withdrew his aura and raised his hand to strike.

The winds and clouds changed, the air currents overturned.

A simple palm strike felt like the sky was falling down.

Chen Qingyun's face changed, hastily warning, "Be careful, it's the Heaven-Turning Cloud-Flipping Palm this time!"

Ye Qingzhou made his move with his signature skill—the Heaven-Turning Cloud-Flipping Palm. This technique he had honed to perfection, able to increase the attack's power sixfold when executed.

The sixfold attack power of Heaven-Turning Cloud-Flipping Palm, coupled with the twofold basic spiritual power boost after breaking through to Core Formation Realm.

The power of this strike reached twelvefold strength.

Even though Ye Qingzhou had just entered Core Formation Realm, with spiritual power barely over a hundred thousand, with such astonishing technique power increase, a single strike equaled the force of one million two hundred thousand spiritual power.

The winds and clouds changed, spiritual qi surged, the mountains fragmented with earth-splitting might, ordinary Sea of Qi Realm would tremble at the sight.

Lu Yu was no ordinary man; he raised his hand and slashed out a blade of energy with only fifty percent strength, easily deflecting the opponent's attack.

Having long mastered the Asura Slash, he could strike it at will, unrestricted by weapons.

With a boom! The air waves roiled, and the ground fissured; Lu Yu's robe fluttered in the wind, his body unmoved.

Conversely, Ye Qingzhou, the one who initiated the attack, was forced back seven or eight steps by Lu Yu before halting.

The crowd gasped in awe, surprised that Ye Qingzhou, a Core Formation Realm cultivator, was repelled by someone they didn't recognize, and clearly, the opponent's strength significantly exceeded his.

If Lu Yu hadn't held back, it's likely Ye Qingzhou would be lying on the ground now.

Ye Qingzhou's complexion darkened somewhat, as in the moment of their clash, he could sense Lu Yu was still merely a Sea of Qi Realm martial cultivator, not yet having broken through to Core Formation.

"Where did this prodigious talent come from, joining the Qingpeng squad?" Ye Qingzhou couldn't fathom this.

Knowing Lu Yu's strength, Ye Qingzhou also understood that continuing the fight would yield no result, and might even disadvantage the Black Snake squad.

He stood, flicked his sleeve, and coldly snorted, "We'll see about that. Even a prodigy, without breaking through, remains merely a prodigy, not a powerhouse."

The Black Snake squad members slunk away from the battleground treasury.

People like Lu Yu, who could contend against Core Formation Realm martial cultivators while in the Sea of Qi Realm, were deemed prodigious talents.

If not a prodigious talent, who could train a martial art to extreme perfection, or cultivate a realm to its utmost and possess the ability to fight across major realms?

Even as a prodigious talent, one could only span a major realm to battle someone like Ye Qingzhou, who had just entered Core Formation Realm, incapable of facing those Core Formation wielders with Divine Soldiers.

Core Formation martial cultivators with Divine Soldiers held entirely different levels of strength.

Without special means, Sea of Qi Realm couldn't possibly battle Core Formation wielders with Divine Soldiers.

During Lu Yu's battle with the Asura Specter, it was entirely reliant on his formidable physical strength and the explosive Blood Burning Secret Technique, needing the near-divine extinction finger to possess battle prowess.

Pure Sea of Qi Realm cultivation appeared powerless against the Asura Specter.

The Asura Slash, when fully charged, could reach twentyfold power or higher, yet even at such peak strike, causing trivial harm to the Asura Specter.

Ultimately, it was through the power of the extinction finger that he vanquished the Asura Specter.

The impact brought by the extinction finger, among other effects, although unclear, had already tremendously affected him.

The blackened section of his right hand's bones couldn't endure the tempering of the Ice Fire Seven-Heaven cultivation technique, rendering his training unable to achieve its perfect state.
