Chapter 877: Swearing Brotherhood

"Hmph! That kid named Ye Yuan really thinks he's invincible? In this Shura Field, even a dragon has to bow its head!" Lu Licheng sneered.

The Shura Field never lacked geniuses.

Which of these experts on the Earthly Ranking wasn't gifted with extraordinary talent and strength far surpassing their peers?

"That kid probably knows he's in trouble. After leaving the Shura Shop, he chose to go into seclusion instead of entering the second layer," said his subordinate.

"Hmph! He can avoid us today, but not tomorrow! Keep a close watch on him. Report to me as soon as he reaches the second layer. I'll show him the cruelty of the Shura Field!"

"Yes, sir! But..."

"Speak your mind, don't hem and haw!"

"There are many rumors circulating now, especially from Lord Zong Tuo's side. They're all laughing at us."

Hearing this, Lu Licheng's face grew even darker.

That Zong Tuo was also a big shot on the second layer, with strength and influence no less than his own.

Having made such a fool of himself this time, Zong Tuo would naturally seize the opportunity to mock him relentlessly.

"That damned kid made me lose so much face. I'll tear him into a thousand pieces!" Lu Licheng gnashed his teeth, hating Ye Yuan to the bone.

...

Ye Yuan naturally knew nothing of what was happening on the second layer. Even if he did, he wouldn't care.

He set up a formation to help the Yuanci Spirit Wood absorb the metal essence from the Cangyan Earth Yang Gold, while he himself entered the Haotian Tower to cultivate.

In a short time, it was unlikely that Ye Yuan's Supreme True Intent would make much progress, so he shifted his focus to raising his cultivation realm.

Now, Ye Yuan's body had undergone earth-shaking changes. Even without the aid of pills, his cultivation speed was very fast.

At this moment, Ye Yuan was comprehending the 'Bing' formula of the Nine-Character True Words. The狂暴 primal energy, after being refined by the Haotian Tower, was absorbed into his body.

After entering the Tianqi Realm, each small realm breakthrough required a massive amount of primal energy.

However, since cultivating the 'Bing' formula, Ye Yuan's cultivation speed had increased several times over!

Like the 'Lin' formula, the 'Bing' formula also seized the wonders of heaven and earth. But its effect was completely different—it made the martial artist more sensitive to the energy of heaven and earth, making cultivation twice as effective with half the effort!

Over this long period, Ye Yuan had realized through comprehending the Nine-Character True Words that each character had a different function.

But one thing was certain: each character contained profound principles of the Dao, seemingly allowing Ye Yuan to reach the extreme in a certain aspect.

And this 'Bing' formula greatly enhanced his cultivation speed.

Ye Yuan believed that if he could cultivate the 'Bing' formula to a very high level, his cultivation speed might surpass all the geniuses in the Divine Realm!

Even using pills to stack realms might not compare.

After advancing to the Tianqi Realm, Ye Yuan deliberately slowed down his cultivation speed to carefully comprehend the laws.

Although this would slow his cultivation, it allowed him to understand the Heavenly Dao more clearly and comprehensively.

After the Tianqi Realm, the most important thing was still to comprehend the laws of heaven and earth and comprehensively improve one's artistic conception.

If he didn't pursue combat power, relying on pills would be fine. But now that Ye Yuan was retreading the martial path, this step was indispensable.

The Upper Three Realms were arguably more important than the previous six realms combined.

Ye Yuan wanted to pursue the ultimate martial path, so he preferred to go slower.

However, the 'Bing' formula combined with the transformation of the Primordial Dragon Bone made him no slower than any genius in the Divine Realm.

Moreover, as his comprehension of the 'Bing' formula deepened, his cultivation speed would only increase.

A month later, Ye Yuan finally broke through to the third level of Tianqi.

When he went to check on the Yuanci Spirit Wood, he found that the Cangyan Earth Yang Gold had turned into an ordinary stone, its metal essence completely absorbed.

Ye Yuan was delighted to discover that the Yuanci Spirit Wood had indeed advanced to the seventh rank! This would greatly enhance the power of the Yuanci Force Field.

"These kill points are really good stuff. I'll ask around later to see how to get more kill points. Hmm... it's time to enter the second layer."

Ye Yuan had seen many good things in the points section of the Shura Shop, and even he was quite tempted.

...

"Congratulations to Ye Yuan and Tan Si for entering the second layer of the Shura Field!" A melodious voice echoed through the second layer, instantly making the news known throughout the Shura Field.

Ye Yuan laughed wryly. "It's just a promotion to the second layer. Is it necessary to make such a big fuss?"

"The martial artists on the second layer are very strong. We need to be careful. It's said that the top-ranked Zhan Wushuang is ranked 150th on the Earthly Ranking, extremely powerful! Remember that Tu Gang you killed? Although his rank wasn't high, his backer on the second layer is ranked in the top ten, and around 200th on the Earthly Ranking!" Tan Si said.

Over the past month, Ye Yuan had been oblivious to the outside world, but Tan Si had thoroughly investigated the situation on the second layer.

Ye Yuan's punch seemed to have stirred up a hornet's nest. They would likely be targeted as soon as they arrived.

But Ye Yuan didn't care. "I hope he has some sense and doesn't come after me like his idiot subordinate."

Everyone in the Shura Field had blood on their hands. Ye Yuan had no qualms about killing the likes of Tu Gang.

Tan Si was speechless. He couldn't figure out the limit of Ye Yuan's strength.

But clearly, Ye Yuan hadn't gone all out when killing Tu Gang.

As soon as he arrived on the second layer, Ye Yuan naturally wanted to look around. But before he could take two steps, a group of people blocked his way.

"Kid, did you kill Tu Gang?" A burly man in front demanded.

"What, are you here to seek justice for him?" Ye Yuan asked with a half-smile.

The burly man, who had been fierce-looking, suddenly threw his arm around Ye Yuan's shoulders and laughed. "Haha, well killed! I've long disliked that Tu Gang! My name is Jiao Chong. From now on, we're brothers. Let's get close!"

Ye Yuan had thought they were here to cause trouble, but this guy suddenly started swearing brotherhood, acting as if they were old friends.

Ye Yuan gently shook him off and said flatly, "Not everyone is qualified to be my brother. Who are you really? State your names."

Being easily shaken off, Jiao Chong was startled.

He had thought Tu Gang's death was due to carelessness, but from that move just now, this kid's strength was not to be underestimated!

"Hehe, we're Lord Zong Tuo's men! You killed Tu Gang, so Lu Licheng will definitely want you dead. From now on, follow Lord Zong Tuo. With his protection, Lu Licheng won't dare to fart!" Jiao Chong laughed.
