Chapter 282: I'm Very Willful!

Under Li Changyu's plundering, Ye Yuan's elemental storm grew smaller and smaller.

The disciples of Nethercloud Sect watched this scene, feeling a sense of sorrow for their own kind.

This was the top genius of Nethercloud Sect, no, of the Southern Domain!

Was he going to lose just like that?

Though unwilling, they all knew it was not a fault of the battle.

It was that the opponent was too strong; no matter how talented Ye Yuan was, he was merely a Liquid Realm martial artist, while his opponent was a genius martial artist from the number one sect in the Southern Domain!

Perhaps in terms of potential, Ye Yuan left Li Changyu in the dust by several streets, but for now, Li Changyu was an entire major realm above Ye Yuan!

Anyone else would not even have the qualification to force Li Changyu to use his full strength and would have directly surrendered.

But Ye Yuan, a mere Liquid Realm martial artist, actually forced out his opponent's full strength!

Earlier, even while breaking through, Li Changyu had looked relaxed, but now his whole body was tense, clearly much more strained.

Although Ye Yuan's Spirit Gathering Seal was a very low-level seal technique, his mastery was profound, so how could it be easy to plunder his elemental power?

Faced with this situation, Ye Yuan looked completely indifferent, as if it had nothing to do with him.

He calmly took out several elemental crystals and casually tossed them, turning them into streams of light flying in several directions.

Elemental crystals were crystals formed from heaven and earth's elemental power, containing strong and pure elemental power. Disciples in the sect mostly used elemental crystals for cultivation.

In the martial world, elemental crystals were also used as currency.

Elemental crystals were quite rare; even core disciples did not have the right to use them. Only elite disciples received a very small amount of low-grade elemental crystals each month.

Of course, as a nominal elder, Ye Yuan could also receive some low-grade elemental crystals each month.

The several elemental crystals Ye Yuan casually tossed just now were all medium-grade, given to him by Tianfeng after he completed the ninth-grade mission last time.

Casually tossing out so many medium-grade elemental crystals made everyone's eyes go wide.

This was really a bit extravagant!

"What does Ye Yuan want to do? Weren't those medium-grade elemental crystals just now? He was still a core disciple before, right? Where did he get them?"

"Who cares where he got them! The Heavenly Qian Sect has already come to slap their faces, and you still have the mind to worry about that?"

"Cough, isn't this just a moment of excitement? What do you think Ye Yuan is doing? Could he still have a chance to turn defeat into victory?"

"Ye Yuan's methods are endless; maybe he really does have a chance to turn the tables! Using so many medium-grade elemental crystals at once, Ye Yuan can't be just throwing stones for fun, right?"

"Huh? What's going on? Why do I feel like the nearby elemental power has been sucked dry?"

Li Changyu was fully focused on plundering elemental power and breaking through, so he didn't see Ye Yuan's actions.

But at this moment, he suddenly felt something was off. The nearby elemental power had suddenly become much richer, and it was increasing!

Opening his eyes, Li Changyu was startled.

Several lights flickered around Ye Yuan, and the nearby elemental power grew increasingly violent.

"A Spirit Gathering Array! Kid, are you crazy? Your dantian will burst!" Li Changyu exclaimed.

Ye Yuan turned to look at him and said with a faint smile, "It's fine. Aren't you here to accompany me in death?"

Li Changyu shrieked, "You're crazy! Absolutely crazy! Stop right now!"

Ye Yuan used a mid-grade primal crystal as the array eye to set up a third-tier spirit-gathering formation.

Ordinarily, with Ye Yuan's strength at the Liquid Spirit realm, he could not have set up a third-tier spirit-gathering formation.

But he cleverly leveraged the primal energy storm that Li Changyu had gathered, using the small to drive the large, leveraging a little to move a lot, and successfully set up such a formation.

The formation had already activated, and the primal energy within a dozen li radius was nearly completely drained by the spirit-gathering formation.

With such momentum, let alone Li Changyu, a mere Condensing Crystal fourth layer, even a Condensing Crystal ninth layer martial artist here would not dare to use such a primal energy storm to break through!

The way Ye Yuan was doing it, it looked like a mutual destruction tactic. If they both continued to break through, they would only end up being burst apart by the primal energy.

This primal energy storm had clearly surpassed the limit Li Changyu could withstand.

"Senior Brother, didn't you like to join in the fun? I've brought you an even bigger commotion, so why aren't you joining now?" Ye Yuan said with a faint smile.

Li Changyu had no time to bicker with Ye Yuan now; if this continued, his dantian would be burst open!

"Let's talk this out. I was reckless just now. Dismantle the formation first, and we'll talk!" Li Changyu's words already carried a hint of concession.

For Li Changyu now, it was like an arrow on the string—he had no choice but to shoot.

If he gave up breaking through, he would inevitably suffer backlash, affecting his future breakthroughs; if he continued, how could he withstand such a primal energy storm?

Originally, he wanted to give the Nethercloud Sect a hard time, but now he was stuck in a dilemma.

Ye Yuan, however, laughed and said, "I'm a willful person. If someone wants to play with me, I have to see it through to the end! If you don't want to play, you can choose to quit."

"You! Fine, I'll just watch how you end up killing yourself!" Li Changyu ground his teeth.

"That's not for you to worry about," Ye Yuan said nonchalantly.

Li Changyu had decided to quit. He would stop breaking through and withdraw from the primal energy storm.

Li Changyu's timing for withdrawal was just right. The primal energy storm gathered by the spirit-gathering formation had already taken shape. Even if he withdrew now, it would be too late for Ye Yuan to dismantle it.

Li Changyu still didn't believe that Ye Yuan would actually dare to break through here!

Li Changyu forcibly stopped his breakthrough and immediately suffered backlash. He felt a sweetness in his throat, and a mouthful of blood was about to spurt out, but he forcibly suppressed it.

He leaped with all his might, actually charging out against the violent primal energy storm.

By now, the primal energy storm had nearly materialized, visible to the naked eye, like a tornado.

The fact that Li Changyu could withdraw calmly showed his considerable strength.

After coming out, Li Changyu had lost all his previous arrogance. The clothes of the Heavenly Qian Sect on his body had been torn into rags by the primal energy storm.

Once out of the primal energy storm, Li Changyu could no longer hold back and spat out a large mouthful of blood.

He had been going all out to break through, but then forcibly stopped himself. Obviously, he had suffered severe backlash and had sustained heavy internal injuries.

Having failed this breakthrough, it would not be easy for Li Changyu to break through to Condensing Crystal fifth layer next time.

Of course, with Li Changyu's talent, breaking through was only a matter of time, but it would certainly delay him for a long time!

Thinking of this, Li Changyu was very frustrated. This time, he had truly tried to steal a chicken only to lose the rice.

But seeing Ye Yuan still at the center of the storm, a flash of glee crossed Li Changyu's heart.

"Hahaha, this kid is indeed willful! So willful that he's going to kill himself! With such a violent primal energy storm, I want to see how you can break through! I'm really looking forward to seeing what you look like when you explode!" Li Changyu said, almost delirious.
