Chapter 604: Special Training

"Lord Shangguan, what exactly happened over at Red Light City? The nearby primal energy is constantly gathering there, as if someone is breaking through a realm. But such a massive fluctuation of primal energy—even a Divine Travel realm expert breaking through couldn't cause this, could it?"

The unusual activity in the city quickly alarmed the central army tent of the Hurricane Realm.

And just as a subordinate reported that Ye Yuan had suddenly flown out of the city and directly seized a commander at the fifth level of Soul Sea, this made Shangguan Lingyun's brow furrow even deeper.

"This situation should be many people breaking through simultaneously! Although I don't know why, I think... it must be related to Ye Yuan!" Shangguan Lingyun said with a grave expression.

"What? Such a grand commotion—there must be hundreds or thousands breaking through. What ability does he have to make so many people break through at once?" Deng Sheng asked in surprise.

"Heh, you only know one side of it. Ye Yuan is not only extremely strong in martial arts, but his alchemy skills are also unparalleled! He is a personal disciple of Star Abyss Emperor, and from various signs, Ye Yuan's alchemy level might even surpass Star Abyss Emperor's senior disciple, Shi Haoran!" Shangguan Lingyun said.

"How is that possible? Shi Haoran is a Pill King!" Deng Sheng exclaimed in astonishment.

"Heh, Ye Yuan is only at the Sea of Transformation realm, yet even you are no match for him. What's so strange about him surpassing a Pill King in alchemy?" Shangguan Lingyun seemed already accustomed to Ye Yuan's monstrous talent.

Deng Sheng was stunned, wanting to find some words to refute, but after thinking for a long time, he couldn't come up with a reasonable rebuttal.

Clearly, this explanation was unreasonable, but why couldn't he find a reason to refute it?

Shangguan Lingyun's aura suddenly turned sharp, and he said coldly, "Ye Yuan's growth is too fast. If this continues, he will surely become a major threat to our Hurricane Realm! It seems... the war must now escalate. When will Lord Yun Rong arrive?"

Deng Sheng's expression turned serious, and he immediately understood Shangguan Lingyun's intention.

Once a Divine Travel realm expert intervenes, the war will become much more brutal.

"The arrangements over there are almost complete. Lord Yun Rong will arrive no later than half a month from now!" Deng Sheng said.

Shangguan Lingyun frowned slightly and said, "Send another message to Lord Yun Rong, urging him to arrive within ten days! Besieging Red Light City was originally foolproof; the only variable is Ye Yuan!"

Deng Sheng's face changed, and he bowed, saying, "As you command!"

...

On the square, people kept breaking through, and soon it was packed.

Those who had not yet taken the pills had to step aside and quietly wait for others to finish breaking through.

Martial artists need a certain range when breaking through; breaking through together could lead to unpredictable events.

Soon, a large number of Sea of Transformation realm experts emerged among these martial artists.

And many of those at the Sea of Transformation realm also broke through their original levels.

In short, the overall strength of these martial artists took a huge leap.

Chu Shi rubbed his hands as he approached Ye Yuan, acting coy like a big girl: "Um... Young Master Ye, although I offended you earlier, I've reformed now. Could you..."

Watching those Sea of Transformation and Crystal Condensation realm martial artists break through one after another, Chu Shi was extremely envious.

But earlier, they Soul Sea realm martial artists had shouted the loudest, and Chu Shi thought Ye Yuan was deliberately making things difficult for them, so he hadn't given them the pills.

Ye Yuan glanced at him and smiled, "No."

Chu Shi's face changed, and he was about to speak when he heard Ye Yuan continue, "Because I can't refine fourth-tier pills right now. Sorry."

Chu Shi was stunned and said, "You mean... all these pills were refined by you alone?"

"Otherwise, what do you think?" Ye Yuan retorted.

Chu Shi's eyes went wide as he stared at Ye Yuan, speechless: "But there are tens of thousands of pills here. Even for a skilled alchemist, it would take about a year to refine them all! Did you foresee this situation a year ago?"

Ordinary alchemists consume a lot of energy when refining pills; refining a few dozen to a hundred a day is already impressive.

But Ye Yuan, using the Four Directions Cauldron, could refine pills in large quantities, with efficiency ten or even a hundred times that of ordinary alchemists.

So in Chu Shi's view, it was absolutely impossible for Ye Yuan to have refined so many pills in just a few days.

Moreover, these pills were clearly not ordinary, requiring even more time to perfect.

That left only one explanation: Ye Yuan had foresight and had started preparing these pills a year ago.

Ye Yuan just smiled and didn't bother to explain; even if he did, they might not believe him.

But his indifference, in Chu Shi's eyes, seemed all the more profound and unfathomable.

...

The process of martial artists breaking through lasted almost an entire day.

Almost everyone advanced a level, and this change brought a huge sensory impact.

Over the past two days, Su Hu had been completely shocked by this 'Young Master Ye' who had appeared out of nowhere.

He finally understood why the Alliance had sent such a young man to reinforce Red Light City.

The pills Ye Yuan brought were almost equivalent to bringing a powerful army of martial artists!

This change was not only in strength but also in confidence!

Originally, these martial artists' fear of the Hurricane Realm was deeply ingrained, but now, with their breakthroughs, their confidence was restored.

Ye Yuan swept his gaze over the martial artists on the training ground and said calmly, "Now, do you have the confidence to fight the Hurricane Realm army outside?"

"Yes!"

"Of course!"

"Kill them all, avenge our fallen comrades!"

...

Sometimes, when people get inflated, they lose their sense of direction.

Especially those who had broken through to the Sea of Transformation realm felt they were becoming invincible.

Of course, if only one person broke through, it would never give them such confidence.

But with tens of thousands breaking through at once, this self-confidence swelled to a terrifying level.

Ye Yuan raised his hand to signal for silence, and the crowd instantly quieted down.

With the deterrent force of his martial prowess and the gift of pills, Ye Yuan had unknowingly become the spiritual leader of these people.

Ye Yuan swept his gaze over the crowd below and said coldly, "In your current state, you are still far from being able to fight the army outside! So, to make your combat strength even stronger, I have specially set up a great formation. Now... enjoy the special training of this formation to your heart's content!"

Ye Yuan suddenly summoned the Black Water Flag, and a huge light shield enveloped the entire training ground!

"Huh? What's happening? Where did everyone go?" Chu Shi frowned.

Beside him, only two Soul Sea realm martial artists remained; everyone else on the training ground had vanished instantly, as if the three of them were isolated.

"Ouch! Who hit me?" Chu Shi was kicked hard from behind.
